WASHINGTON, June l9.-Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Letter. OF Chicago and

lion-dollar glass house in the woods
pm the Virginia shore of the Potomac
river, intend to build specially
planned village around the great
house for the education, training and
pleasure OF their two young sons. The
children are Joseph, jr., about five
years old. and John, about three.
The village will surround the house
hnd the various buildings will be
constructed OF the same MATERIAL

porches, and laid out artistically. The
Estate OF the Letters fronts on the
Palisades OF the Potomac, high above
he river, and for the most part con
sists OF deep woods 4 walk leads
from the front OF the house to the
.trest OF the Palisades. and from that
point steps lead down to the water
During the summer the Letters keep

Included in the little village will
be a chapel, school gymnasium. swim
hing pool and two dwelling houses,
'bne for each boy. Later. IL not at

A Lordsburger wanted a license for
a Ford car. Not having irregular ap-
plication blank he sent a check and
told the secretary Of state that It was
a Ford car, and further description
would be unnecessary. The secretary
wrote: 81 beg to state that further
description is necessary. 1 must by
all lean know what the horse power
Of the car is, in order that l know If
your remittance Is right" and en-
closed a form to fill out. The Lords
burger filed out the form and return
ed it, writing: 81 am very sorry to
learn that your Office is so far behind
the time as not to know that there is
only one style and horse power Of en-
gines made for Ford cars. 1 would
say that all Fords are of twenty horse
power. and the Ford company turned
out 10000 cars last year. II you ever

Last Saturday the reservoir which
contains the compressed air at the
roundhouse blew up, knocking a
chunk out Of the side wall, breaking
most Of the glass in the building and
doing much other damage. The COM
pany has many tools that are worked
by compressed air, which is also used
to turn the tuTntable. 1t has a big
air pump which is used to pump the
air into this reservoir, and pipes lead
from it to all the machines that use
compressed air for power. The reser-
voir has been leaking, and Saturday
morning Foreman Shearer was ex-
aiming it to see about repairing 1t.
He looked 1t over and walked away,
and In less than five minutes after he
left the explosion came. II 1t had
happened a few minutes sooner the
chances are that Mr.. Shearer would
have been killed.

The land Office has refused a patent
to the owner of a San Simon arte-
sian well, He has a we'll that makes
about 25 gallons a minute. He had
an eighty acre desert land entry, tif-
teen acres Of which were high, and
could not be brought under the water,
leaving 65 acres for which water must
be provided. The land department
figured that in the dry climate Of
southeastern Arizona it requires two
acre feet to make a crop, and this
must be produced in the $50 days of
the growing season. The well the
entryman had would not produce this
amount of water and so the proof was
rejected. The entryman does not
lose his place, but has got plenty Of
time to develop more water and the
privilege OF making new proof when
he has developed the water.

The land office at Phoenix is doing
the proverbial Gland office business"
A Lordsburger wanted a township
plat of a certain township in Arizona,
and sent to the land office at Phoenix
for the plat, accompanying his letter
with a four dollar money order, the
amount the government charges for
such a plat, He received a letter from
the land office, saying there was so
much business in the office that there
was no time in which to get this out,
suggested there were lawyers in Phoe-
nix who could get the information de-
sired, and enclosed a check for the
four dollars. The Lordsburger Sc
cured the service Of Phoenix lawyer,
got the desired information, and had
to pay five dollars for it. A good
lawyer is always higher priced than
Uncle Sam.

Last night one OF the nTSt to ap-
pear with the girls was Ellen Gates
Starr, one of the founders of Hull
House, the woman who fought and
went to jail on account of her belief
in the strike against HenTici's.
Her spirit famed up when she
spoke of the strike last night.
It was evident from the tone of her
voice how much she appreciated the
splendor of the fight the girls ara
making. She understands the old
battle for justice. And she has en-
listed as a volunteer.
She made the following statement
last night:
1--WE are free born citizens of the
United States. We have a perfect
right to picket. The order of Judge
McGoorty does not hold with these
restaurants. If the police tell us not
to picket we must stand our ground.
If they arrest us we will have to go
to jail. We will not be discouraged
by a few arrests. They will have to
keep us in Jail. We will try to be
orderly.
eff crowds gather it is no fault of
ours. We do not invite the crowds. |
It is the duty of the police to dispense
the crowds and keep the mfrom con-
gregating around us: All the police |
in Chicago cannot shake us from our
purpose. If there is any disorder it |
will be the fault of the laundering
policemen who twist girls arms and |
make them sit down in the muddy |
street.
Eve are not afraid to fight for our
rights, and we want living wage.
If these restaurant keepers do not |
pay the mattresses enough to live on,
then we, as public spirited citizens, !
must warn patrons of their unfair
ness. I will be down early in the /
with the pickets, and l will
do everything can to help you"

agent; Christina McComb, treasurer,
and the others.
A picket line was swung around
the loop and into the outlying dis
tricts and the fight was on.
The picket force was largely made
I'D of the heroines of the Henrici
siege, heroines who suffered arrest
PIG times.
They found that the bosses had
put many strikebreakers to work.
But that doesn't worry them.
Early in the evening they were
forced to endure the mean insults of
George Knab's son, Carl, and John
Sindelar, hireling.
Young Knab attempted cheap in
suit but fed in disgrace when Eliza
beth MaIoney scored him. He defied
Miss Maloney to call policeman.
She says she will swear out war
rant for his arrest this morning.

KORSHAK TELLS OF ARSON RING
David Korshak, self-confessed chief
of the larson ring" revealed the Sc
crets of the ''firebug'' combination
yesterday. He claims to have receiv-
ed $50, 900 for firing 100000 worth
of property and was given $4,000 to
leave Chicago. ,..-
Korshak says a death pact existed
to avoid arrest and that he was order
ed to take poison. Leopold Dreyfus,
who shot and killed himself June,
1911, had received similar orders, he
says.
Joseph Fish, millionaire head of
Joseph Fish & Co., fire insurance adj

The hotbed should be built in a

ventilation can be easily provided for.
A gentle south slope with good drain

Is the best location for hotbeds. Un-

are the most important points to con-

should be inches lower than the
north side. The standard size of the
sashes is 3x6 feet. These can be pro
cured from manufacturing companies
for rs low q price as $3.50 each. The
totaY cost il about SO.
After the frame is fitted over the
pit, the earth should be banked around
it, One load of fresh horse manure
containing quantity of straw will be
enough for a hotbed OF this size. A
layer of manure 10 inches deep should
be tamped down firmly and thoroughly
soaked before the proper fermentation
will take place. Two or three inches
of rich loan soil should be spread over
this manure. A good soil can be made
by using equal parts OF wei. acom'
posed stable manure and rich garden
soil> mixed with two or three shovels
full of sand to wheelbarrow OF dirt
and manure.
The temperature In the hotbed Will
rise very suddenly to about 30 de-
grees F. and then gradually fall to 10
degrees F., when seed sowing should
begin. Lettuce requires lower tem'
perature for proper growth than to-
matoes For that reason 1t Is best to
