IN the peach orchards on the Cooper
farm near here, where I. T. Cooper
and Charles l.. Terry, a well-known
fruit expert, have 10000 peach trees,
many of which are in bearing. This
was one of the prize-producing or
chards of the State last year, and the
1000 stoves to heat all outdoors"
will be installed to help half this
years crop through the March and
April frosty periods.
Lighting 1000 fires will be no small
job, as they are not lighted until one
hour before daylight each morning.
Frost on the blossoms gets in its dead.
" work when the suns rays sud

send up a light heat and keep tho
blossoms alive. Crude oil is used for
fuel, and the fires are kept burning
until the sun is we'll toward the
zenith.
While this artificial heating is ex.
pensiye to the grower. the cost is
nothing as compared to whit would
be lost should the frost nip he bios
SONS and buds and ruin the entire

NEW YORK, Feb. Working
toward the last leg of their trip
around the world, the Giants and
White sox saw the volcano Stromboli
in action, belching forth fire and
smoke, but il they had stuck around
and been on hand for the meeting
Of the National, American and In
ternational Leagues here this week.
they could have Witnessed spout
ing of burning words making Strom-
boil look like an alley fire In COM
parison.
The big pow-wow gets under way
today. The International League Will
meet this afternoon to frame its
schedule. Tomorrow the National
League magnates get together. We'd
nesday Ban Johnson will call the
American Leaguers into conference,
and on Thursday Joint conference
extraordinary will probably be staged.
Garry Hermann, chairman of the
National Commission. today said he
believed the Federal League was as
good as dead. but II such is the case
the various club-owners have come a
considerable distance TO be in on the
wake. The Federals are furnishing
the chief food for thought and con-
versation for the magnates here
In the discussion of plans as to
how the OUTLAW invasion is TO be
met they swing back continually to
consideration of one man-Charles
Weeghman, Of Chicago. They believe
that Weeghman will desert the Fed
erals and line up with organized bail
II offered something worth while.
With Weeghman out. the Federal
League would then be expected TO
cave in.
G. Webb Murphy is said TO have
rounded up considerable backing In
his opposition to the placing of an
American Association team on the
North Side IN Chicago for Weeghman
Those backing Murphy insist that the
Federals are now on their last legs
and that no concessions are neces-
sary. The magnates here believe the
Federals bluned through their meet
ing in Chicago saturday. waiting tc
see what would happen here this
week. None OF them believe Toronto
can be kept IN the Federal circuit. 4
blow-up Saturday, however, would
have left Weeghman without a bal
club TO amuse himself with, whereas

CHILD LABOR
LAW LESSON
Inspector Now Warns Against
Boy Employment Near DAN
eerOuS Machines

William J. Gibbons factory inspec-
tor today continued his series Of ex-
planatory articles concerning the
employment Of children in or about
dangerous occupations. The list to-
day comprises job or cylinder printing
presses operated by power other than
foot: boring or drill presses, stamp
ing machines used in sheet metal. tin
ware or in paper or leather manufact-
uring or in nut factories. No child
under IA years OF age Is permitted un-
der the law TO work at any of these Oc-
cupations other restrictions will be
explained in detail 60 the employers
by the inspector upon request.
Mr. Gibbons desires 20 make clear
the point that any person either for
himself or herself, or as agent for
any other person or corporation, who
furnishes or sells to any minor child
any articles Of any description with
the knowledge that the minor intends
to sell the said article in violation Of
the provisions of the act they shall be
deemed guilty of violating the law and
be liable to a fine
This section applies to all things,
any newspapers selling papers to
children under the age limit, knowing
that the child intends to sell them,
are liable under the law. Therefore
the inspector desires to warn all dis
tributors Of newspapers that all boys
under II years of age are not allowed
to sell papers, and also to call atten-
tlon TO the fact that within a few
days no child without a permit will
be allowed 10 sell newspapers, maya
zines or periodicals. Upon this point
the inspector wishes to urge upon
the children and their parents the ad-
visibility Of securing their permits
at the earliest possible opportunity
The children have been rather slow
in coming after the permits inasmuch
as only about thirty were issued dur
ing the week. AS there will be over
q hundred OF the permits TO be is
sued the inspector lays stress upon
the necessity Of getting them as soon
as possible. He will announce in 2
few days when the time limit for Sc
curing thees permits will elapse. The
children will be given ample time
to take out the permits. and should
they fail TO do so It will be their
fault and not the fault of the inspec-
tor
Mrs. c. Dougherty, who issues tn
permits TO the children, will be in Mr.
Gibbons office in the Ford Building iron
$50 until II noon, and from I until
O'Clock each day, and should she deem !
necessary will issue certificates oi
Thursday and Friday evenings from
until o o'clock.
The children are notified that whei
they call for the permits they mus
bring evidence of their age and state
mcnt from their school teacher.

In an attempt to capture that city.
Segura set out on his own respon-
sibility to raise and equip rebel
army He now has his followers or
ganized and his first move is to be
an attack on Pachuca. The opinion OF
military experts here today was that
some of the rebel attacks would
prove successful during the week. and
Huerta is doomed certainly TO one OF
more reverses.
News that American soldiers have
crossed the Rio Grande to search

bodies of fifteen Americans reported
killed when Maxine Castillos bandits

unconcern by the government. IIu-
erta seemed unimpressed. The gov
ernmcnt does not consider the act an
invasion OF Huerta territory.
Newspapers friendly to Huerta
here today made capital out Of the
Cumbre Tunnel tragedy, pointing out
that it was the work of rebels against
Villas authority. The Castillo ban

TO hold his followers together and

that they confiscate all private es-
