important discoveries in recent years IS
that of the petrified bodies Of woman

closed as though in sleep.
The discovery was made by Miss Doro-
thy Merriam, granddaughter Of the owner
of the farm. Mr.. Merriam is an authority
on geology and on examining the head

are perfect The rounding arm sockets

body ana the lower extremity shows plain
ly where the legs had been broken off

SILK INDUSTRY
FACES NEW STRIKE
Walk-Out of 100 Ribbon Weavers
in Paterson Affects 5000
Workers.
IBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. !

Paterson y. j.. Nov ga strike
among the weavers in the Johnson e.
Cowdin Company mill, which includes
both the broad silk and ribbon weaving
industry, which started yesterday, is be-
leved 10 be the forerunner OF another
silk strike here, which will affect princi-
pally the ribbon end OF the silk industry.
Because a man who is alleged TO have
"scabbed" during the recent silk strike
was elevated TO the position of foreman
at the Johnson g. Cowdin plant $50 weav-
ers have quit work.
Meetings have been held during the last
week for the purpose of demanding a
nne-hour workday in the ribbon weaving
end of the silk industry. and rs per cent
of those employed in that branch favor a
strike on December l. On that day the
demand for a nine-hour workday will be
presented to the larger silk ribbon manu-
facturers.
The nine-hour workday was part of the
demands included during the twenty-five
weeks silk strike which began on Febru-
airy 25 and which ended in the defeat OF
the 10000 silk workers, who were employed
in every branch of the silk industry.
The threatened strike in the silk ribbon
industry would affect about 5000 oper-
atives. In many cases those engaged in
the ribbon weaving industry and who
participated in the last strike accepted an
increase in salary in lieu of the nine
hour workday. but these now are In favor
OF making the shortened workday de-
mand the basis of another strike.

mass Of ice. probably having fallen in a
yawning crevice. This closed before the
woman could escape, and the bodies alb
solutely free from air and other decom-
posing agencies, were deposited in pre-
serving stratum Of pure limestone in the
morane. Lincklaen Ledyard, a New
York geologist of note. says:
The remains OF plants and animals
buried In these beds or deposits grad
ually decay and are replaced particle

orally like that OF the mass In which they
lie. Thus I'm time the change which we
call petrification is produced"
Mr.. Ledyard explains that the bodies
probably got in the place where they
were found by the upheaving Of subter-
ranean forces, something similar 20 those
which occasionally produce earthquakes
Instances OF such upheaving. the scientist

CLOTH SPONGERS'
STRIKE SETTLED
Employers Forced to Surrender
to Avert Tie-Up in Entire
Garment Trade.

The Textile Shrinkers' Employers AS
ISOLATION surrendered yesterday to the
Cloth Finishers and Spongers' Union,
which has been holding out for recogni-
ton OF the union. The workers went on
strike on Monday. II was admitted on the
part Of the association that this demand
was acceded to with great reluctance.
The employing cloth spongers and ex-
aminers were afraid OF being held respon-
sible for the tying up of the entire gar
ment industry. More than $500 tailors,
cutters and others were laid off for lack
of shrunken cloth. most OF them being
laid off yesterday morning. AS result a
tie-up in the garment industry was due
this week
The Garment Workers Trade Council.
representing all the unions Of garment
workers. decided yesterday on a general
strike II the closed shop demand were
refused. The employers assert that they
had TO grant demands which they knew
to be unjust rather than be held respon-
sible for this tie-up and the manufactur-
ers were bringing pressure on the associa-
ton to make settlement with the union.
1t was said that the spongers' union had
complete control OF all the workers in
this industry, numbering less than 400 all
told. When the employers decided to ac-
cede to the demand for the closed shop
the strike was declared off by the presi-
dent Of the Cloth Examiners and Spong-
ers' Union.
After the meeting Of the Textile Shrink"
ers' Employers Association Michael
Brayer, its president, said:
I'VE had 10 make a complete surren-
der. l am sorry to say. 1t is matter of
might succeeding against right in this
case. The union, without considering
that We had rights, took advantage Of
peculiar situation 10 put us in a position
in which we had to yield TO unjust de-
mands rather than risk being held re-
sponsible for the biggest tie-up In the
garment trade this city has ever seen,
involving more than 10000 workers. We
have been taught a bitter lesson, and in
the future we may be able to profit by 1t.
While we are making less money than
we did a year ago, we have been forced.
in order TO keep the garment industry
from being entirely tied up. to concede
advances in wages averaging 2Sh per
cent, payment for legal holidays and the
closed shop. even to the extent of agree
ing TO discharge within twenty-four
hours any employe who may have, for
some reason, been dropped from the
union"

HE SAW SLOWER
Says Missing Park Head Is in
Good Health and Will
Return Tomorrow.

After a mysterious absence from his
Office for thirty-six days, Park Commits
sioner Slower appeared on Thursday in
the Union Station in Washington. with a
number Of books under his arm. John N.

censes. for years friend OF the park
official said yesterday, on his return
from the capital, that he saw Mr.. Stover
alight from a Baltimore train at 1915 on
Thursday morning. books and ALL and
fresh as a rosebud.
81 don't believe the man had read a
newspaper in all the time OF his alb
sence," said Mr.. Bogart, when seen at
the Park Department offices at noon
yesterday, whittier he had gone TO an
nounce the glad tidings.
Whether il was the Joy OF news that
"the boss" had been seen with the FIVE
foot shelf OF literature tucked under his
arm, or Just because he had been seen
again. one OF the park employees sat down
and wrote a poem, which he later con-
verted into a song to the tune Of Where
Is my wandering boy tonight" It
started with.
"Oh. where is our wandering boss to-
night?"
Mr.. Bogart was so surprised when he
saw the Commissioner that he forgot TO
ask the latter why he had been away so
long without letting any one know his
whereabouts. He only remembered he
should have asked the question when
he had got on the train for New York.
He must have spent some time in Bal
timore." said Mr.. Bogart Judging from
his conversation. He said he would be
back by Monday morning"
Park officials were visibly relieved by
the news. One employe said
Didn't tell you he would have some
books with him when found?"
This Identification has satisfied the Com
missioner's friends.

ASKS $5O0,O00 FOR
LOSS OF HIS WIFE
Lawyer, Once Associated
with Morgan in Paris,
Sues Her Mother.
CHARGES PLOT TO
ALLEVIATE AFFECTION
Forced Daughter to Divorce Him
by Threats of Disinheriting
Her, 1t Is Alleged.

lebanon Cruger Smith Cuyler. lawyer
Of this city, who has been associated with
the Paris house Of j. p Morgan & Co.,
filed suit for $4,000 damages in the Su-
preme Court yesterday against Mrs.
Isatella r. Barton. Mrs. Barton Is the
mother Of Grace r. Barton, who as the
wife of Cuyler obtained divorce few
months ago on the ground OF deserton
and non-support.
Cuyler alleges that Mrs. Barton alien
ated the affections of his wife and in
duced her TO leave him. He brought a
similar suit in Chicago a month ago.
Mrs. Barton is now living at Alameda,
Cal. and because OF her non-resldence
in New York State Mr.. Cuyler obtained
Yesterday an attachment against any
property she might own in this city as
surety for any verdict he might recover
against her.
The former Mrs. Cuyler is now with her
mother In California, where she obtained
her divorce. Her two children, daugh-
ter OF eleven years and a son OF four. are
also with her. The couple were married
in 1860 in Georgia, and according to Guy
Ter. there was mutual love and afec-
ton between them"
lie said in his complaint that Mrs. Bar
ton, whose husband was one Of the foun-
ders OF the so-called salt trust and
his former wife were at the time OF
said marriage and are now women OF
independent means in their own right.
while the plaintiff. at the time OF the said
marriage. was an attorney at law. duly
admitted TO practise before the courts OF
Georgia, and had his office in the city Of
Atlanta. Ga, and was conducting mod
est and growing practice"
Cuyler added 10 his complaint that Mrs.
Barton physically assaulted him in the
presence Of Mrs Cuyler. swore at him
and made false accusations against him.
All this he believes was in furtherance
OF her alleged plan TO ALLEVIATE the affec-
tions OF his wife from him. which plan.
he charged. was conceived by Mrs. Bar
ton soon after his marriage, and 'in
the State Of New York. by threats. per-
suasions. promises and acts. tending TO
humiliate the plaintiff before his wife
and false statements concerning the acts
and conduct OF the plaintiff rejecting
falsely upon his fidelity 10 said wife, did
wholly ALLEVIATE and rob this plaintiff Of
the affection OF his said wife"
Cuyler went on TO say that the threats
OF Mrs Barton against her daughter
were that she would be disinherited un-
less she left her husband. Mrs Barton

BIG TIE-UP ON NEW HAVEN
Wire Accident at Stamford
Blocks Two Roads.
fBy TELEGRAPH 10 The Tribune.


Stamford, Conn. Nov. From S:54
the New Haven Railroad between Stam-
ford and New York and on the New
York & Westchester Railroad through
out Its length was paralyzed by the
grounding of a feed wire OF the Connecti-
cut company. which gets its power from
the power house at Cos Cob. Conn.
The accident tied up streetcar traffic in
Stamford from s:j4 o'clock I'm the morn
ing until $40 O'Clock In the afternoon.
Between 3:54 and II o'clock in the MORN
ing not a streetcar moved between Nor
walk, Conn., and New Rochelle, ~. Y.
About II o'clock a temporary connection
was made between the feed lines OF the
Westchester Street Railroad Company
and the Stamford and New York road at
Mamaroneck, and streetcars were run
Internationally between Port Chester and
New Rochelle until the trouble at Cos
Cob was repaired.
The general manager of the New Haven
road, Mr.. Bard, said tonight, in explana-
ton OF the delay:
THE Connecticut company's feed line
grounded. and the trouble came In on
the New Haven main lines. with the re-
suit that circuit breakers were blown
out at the power station"
The New Haven roads power station
at Cos Cob supplies power to operate the
various lines that were affected.
The fact that the New Haven road and
the New York & Westchester were held
up only an hour was because their feed
line is single-phase. while the Connecti-
cut companys feed lines are the three
phase.
The electric machinery in the Cos Cob
power house is supposed to be perfect in
the highest possible degree. and that
such an accident could happen is puz-
zllng the electrical experts.
