Hearse Broke Speed Limit.

A funeral procession was halted in
Long Island City. L. l., and the chauf-
feur OF the automobile hearse that
headed it was arrested and convicted
of exceeding the speed limit.
The arrest was the outcome of nu-
merous complaints that New York

vary cemetery have been so speedy as
to endanger the lives of persons cross
ing streets through which they pass.
Other arrests, it was announced. will

is not slackened.
Christian Frickey, the chauffeur Of
the hearse, protested that a funeral
should not be stopped, but the police
man making the arrest insisted that
the cortege was making thirty-five
miles an hour.
Despite his protests and those Of
the mourners in other automobiles,
Frickey was taken to court and the
procession permitted to proceed at re-

land, where the industry was an old
one before it was started in America.
The making of football is almost
entirely a male industry. The only
share that women have in the work is
seen when one first enters a football
factory. At long tables girls sit past

is work that girl is particularly fitted
for. as the Innings must be carefully
fastened to the rough leather and

of the lining.
The first step in the making of a
Football Is to select the leather. Only
the best Of picked skins are used. and
each skin is carefully gene over for
defects before being cut into the nee
eSSary sections. This is done bv ma
chinery. and the sections are then sent
to the room in which the girls are at
work for the lining to be pasted on.
Then the lined sections are sent 70
the sewing room and the Innings are
stitched together. bringing the outer
covering of the football into position

work that requires great strength and
endurance and gives the workers a pro-
dlglous amount of pulling power in the
muscles of the arms and hands.
When the cover is pulled right side
out the outer part of the football is
finished ready for the imitation. The
bladder is inserted and blown up. and
the ball is then stamped on a hot press
and worked Up until the surface is per.
fectly smooth and free from rough
spots. The ball is then debated and
placed aside for shipment.
Balls intended for the soccer game
or for basket ball are also made in the
way described. A new idea recently
applied to THE making of the football |
IS to provide ball suited to the rough |
treatment inseparable from play on the
stone tagged or asphalted pavement OF |
the school playground. 1t was found |
that the finely finished football intend
ed for use on a grass covered field
could not stand the hard usage receiv- /
ed during practice in the school yard.
and a football was therefore devised
especially for this rough work, with
the seams stitched on the outside in
stead Of the inside Sewing the seams
from the outside provided a ridge that
protects the ball when kicked and
bounced in a paved court and makes

The origin Of the term kicking the

when the game was in its early stages

means of a bladder of pig. In those

WINTER CARE OF ROSES.
Dangerous to Cut the Plants Back Too

In very cold sections 1t IS necessary
to lay down the canes. protecting them
with sod. and this is n very good
method Of protection for tender sorts.
There are several plans Of protection
which may be adopted One is to
throw up a mound of soil to n height
OF six to ten inches around each plant.
then scatter strawy manure between
the plants. Ia the spring the mound
may be drawn away and smoothed
down and the remains Of the manure

used with the tender hybrid teas is
to scatter mulch Of manure over the
surface. then put around the bed a
low fence Of wire netting about twelve
inches high and ill the space level
with dry forest leaves. with a few
cOrnstalks or branches on top to keep
them from blowing away.
Standard roses. which are grown in
tree form. are often the victim of the
first winter. largely because Of sun
scald and freezing of the exposed
stem. Wrapping this stem in straw
right up to the head is often sufficient
protection. but IN exposed locations It
is advisable to heel them in and cover
with sod.-Rural New Yorker.

.GREWSOME RELIC OF
 BLOOD AND DEATH
Piece of Breastbone of Officer Harris
 Introduced at Trial of Garcia

The most grcWsome relic of a mur- der imaginable turned Ap yesterday d the trial of Pancho Garcia ac- cused of the murder of Special Of ficer Charles Harris on the night of July last The relic was nothing more than the section of the breast bone of the dead officer, through which the bowie-knffe of the slayer crashed on it's errand of death on that fateful July morning. It was intro duced in evidence during the testi- mony of Dr. H. K. Beauchamp. the physician that conducted the autopsy. So clean was the wound, even through that thickness of bone that the phy- sician was able to take the knife, also introduced in evidence. and place it in the incision in the breastbone. showing how exactly it fitted The section of the breastbone was about three inches square
 Further evidence of a startling na- ture was introduced during the day by Ignacia Martinez, who was with Garcia that evening, and hc testified to walking down the railway tracks, where the mcn-theTe were three of thcm-Were accOsted by Officer liar ris. Martinez said that Garcia went round behind the car and he heard Garcia and Harris talking. Harris hit Garcia, the witness saw, and then he saw Garcia hit Harris and heard Harris grunt. The witness stayed no longer in that vicinity. He beat it away, stayed all night in a hide house and the next morning went to Glendale for his breakfast.
 Another piece of startling testi- mony was that of Dolores Orajuana, who, because of being one handed, had to hold up her left hand to be sworn. She testified to living next door, or so. to Garcia, and that about o'clock on the evening of the kill ing she heard Garcia say to Guada- lupe Valdez, a girl he was with, that Harris was always arrestng men on the tracks and sometime it will go hard with him" Ramon Mciia testi- fled that he worked with Garcia, and that he had knife that looked like the one introduced in testimony.

UHLICH CONFESSES.
rAssocrArEn PRESS DIsPArCH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH TRINIDAD, December 2-RObert Uhlich. president of the local union United Mine Workers of America, confessed tonight before the military commission to having supplied strikers at the Ludlow tent colony with arms and ammunition on october 27. 1913, the day preceding the battle at Ludlow. in which one man was killed.
 The announcement of this confession was made tonight by members of the military commission. UhHch, who has been very prominent in strike and in the councils union just previous to the issuance of the strike call, told the commission he is of German birth, un naturalized, and he had not become naturalized because he does not ap- prove of many things for which the American government stands.
 The commission ordered him de- tained indefinitely as a military prison CT
 Uhich stated he purchased the arms and ammunition and gave them to the men at Ludlow for defensive purposes only, and that the next day they used the arms for offensive purposes. Uhlich is one of the union officials indicted yesterday at Pueblo on a charge of violation of the Sherman antitrust law in having conspired in restraint of trade

l should say a double duty, for 1t concerns both the political and the material development of the territory. The people of Alaska should be given the full territorial form of govern ment, and Alaska. as storehouse, should be unlocked. one key to it is a system of railways. These the government should itself build and administer and the ports and term inals it should itself control in the interest of all who wish to use them for the service and development of the country and it's people.
 But the construction of railways is only the first step: is only thrusting in the key to the storehouse and throwing back the lock and opening the door How the tempting re- sources of the country are to be ex- plotted is another matter. to which I shall take the liberty of from time to time calling your attention, for it is a policy which must be worked out by well considered stages, not upon theory. but upon lines of prac- ticaI eXpediency. It is part of our general problem of conservation. We have a freer hand in working out the problem in Alaska than in the states of the union; and yet the prin- ciple and object are the same, Wrer- ever We touch it. We must use the resources of the country, not lock them up. There need be no conflict or jealousy as between state and fed eraI authorities. for there can be no essential difference of purpose be- tween them The resources in ques- ton must be used. but not destroyed or wasted, used. but not monopolized upon any narrow idea of individual rights as against the abiding interests of communities. That a policy can be worked out by conference and con CCssion which will release these re- sources and yet not leopard or dis sipate them. I for one have no doubt; and it can be done on lines of regula- tion which need be no less acceptable to the people and governments of the states concerned than to the people and government of the nation at large. whose heritage these resources ar We must bend our counsels to this end. A common purpose ought to make agreement easy.

JOSEPH SMITH
 COMING HERE
President of the Mormon Church to Be Here To- day and at Stake Con ference in Mesa the Last of the Week

An inspection trip to all the Nor mon settlements in Arizona will be ended by President Joseph Smith of the church today, who arrives to at tend the conference in Mesa December 4-5.

Smith and Joseph Smith Jr., Presi- dent Bishop Charles w. Nibley and Su- Yerintendent Cummings of the church schools.
 President Smith is just through visit ing the Mormon settlements on the other slope of the White Mountain range-the towns of Hunt, Snowflake, St Joseph, Shumway and Taylor. At Snowflake he dedicated the new Snow flake Stake academy on Thanksgiv- ing day. Before the largest crowd ever assem- bled in the little town, the head of the church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter Day Saints dedicated the new insti- tuition of learning.
 The president and his party arrived about 10:3O in the morning, after a pleasant two hours trip from HOl- brook, and were escorted to the plat form in the assembly room by Presi- dent Samuel Smith, of the Snowflake Stake, and the reception committee. On the appearance of the distinguished party the large concourse of people rose to it's feet in a body to greet the dignitares A very interesting pro- gramme followed, musical and literary, which lasted until noon.
 The afternoon meeting was assem- bled at 2:3O, and after a few remarks by different officials of the church, President Smith dedicated the building in a ghost prayer. the audience all lowing their heads durin the offering.

LOPEZ BELIEVED DEAD

No Word Came Yesterday from Mine In Which Fugitive Took Refuge

 BINGHAM, Dec. 2.-Not sound since last night has come from Utah Apex mine in which Ralph Lopez, the desperado. is confined Today all exits, except that in the lowest level were sealed with double bulk heads and tonight il is believed that the gas-filled mine has become the fugitives tomb. The tense watch fuInes of the seven sheriffs and over two hundred deputies for break for liberty was relaxed although the number of guards was not lessened.
 It is considered impossible for him to approach any of the exits without being overcome. Before erecting the outer bulkhead in the Andy tunnel late today. six men went into the inner bulkhead, three hundred feet from the mouth to examine it. Shortly afterwards. one of their mum ber staggered and fell. overcome from the gas which leaked through the partition.

even more effectuaI service than it renders now in improving the con ditions of mine labor and making the mines more economically productive as well as more safe. This is an all- important part of the work of con servation; and the conservation of human life and energy lies even nearer to our interest than the pre- servation from waste of our material resources.
 We owe it, ir mere justice to the railway employees of the country, to provide for them q fair and effective employers liability act; and law that We can stand by in this matter will be no less to the advantage of those who administer the railroads of the country than to the advantage of those whom they employ The ex- perience of a large number of the states abundantly proves that.
 An intcrnat tionaI congress for the discussion of all questions that affect safety at sea is now sitting in Lon don at the suggestion of our own government. So soon the conclusions of that congress can be learned and considered we ought to address our selves, among other things, to the prompt alleViation of the very unsafe, unjust, and burdensome conditions which now surround the employment of sailors and render it's extremely difficult to obtain the services of spirited and competent men such as every ship needs if it is to be safely handled and brought to port.
 May l not express the very real pleasure I have experienced in CO., operating with this congress and sharing with it the labors of common service to which it has devoted itself so unreservedly during the past seven months of uncomplaining concentra- tion upon the business of legislation? Surely it is a proper and pertinent part of my report on the state of the union" to express my admiTa ton for the diligence, the good temper, and the full comprehension of public duty which has already been mani fested by both the houses, and I hope that it may not be deemed an impertincnt intrusion of myself into the picture ii I say with how much and how constant satisfaction l have availed myself of the privilege of putting my time and energy at their disposal alike in counsel and in ac- tion.
