ice and the bureau of fisheries Il COM
plcte survey of the oyster beds of the
United States is being made. The first
years work was completed last spring,
and the three services are making
plans for their campaign during the
coming winter. An oyster map will
Show the location of every bad oyster
bed in this country, but it will not be
printed for general distribution. 1t will
enable the agents of the bureau of
fisheries to keep watch upon interstate
shipments Of oysters made from these
polluted beds.
Shipments to points within the state
where they originate will not be in
spected. but if it becomes known that
oysters from Il bad" locality, in Ches-
apeake bay, for instance. are being
shipped to a point in New York or else
where, samples of them will be tested
and subjected to an analytic test. If
the disease germs are found the Ship
pers and packers will be prosecuted
under the pure food and drugs act.
The psychologists this winter will
devote their attention to beds along
the Atlantic coast. Chesapeake bay, to
which their last winters work was
confined. will be resurveyed in sus-
picious localities found last year. The
bureau Of fisheries vessel Fish Hawk
will carry four chemists on the inspec-
ton tour. Every oyster bed of CONNER
cial value is known. and the Fish
Hawk will anchor over each one while
he experts make their observations.
A few tongsful of oysters will be
dredGed from each bed. and samples of
the water and mud along the bottom
will be taken. These samples will be
labeled as to locality and general river
conditions and sent to Washington.
The oysters will be sent to the pub
lie health service here, where chemists
will make analyses for bacteria. The
chemical condition Of the water sam
pies will be noted by the bureau scien-
lists and will then be sent to the pub
lie health service for another examina-
ton as to their bacterial contents.

TRIAL OF BURKE
WILL Be CALLED;
CRAFT CHARGED
Former Head of the Commits
sary Department of the
Panama Canal Zone to An
swer Charges.

New York. June 6.-John Burke
whom Colonel George W. Goethals
chairman of the Panama canal com
mission, suspended as head of the COM
missary department of the Panama
canal zone Is scheduled to be placed
on trial in the United States court here
Monday on indictments charging him
with accepting gratuities from dealers
in supplies at Panama. The charges
against Burke attracted much atten-
ton at the time as It was thought pos
sible they might lead to the exposure
Of an extensive system of graft among
the officials Of the canal zone The Of
fieial investigation, however, failed to
bring to light anything to support this
supposition.
Information that charges of irregu-
larity in Burke's conduct as manager
of the commissary department were be-
Ing investigated by the government was
made public last December. On Feb
ruary 8 Colonel Goethals suspended
Burke from his position on alleged
evidence furnished by secret service Of

property said to be in possession of
at the time that Burke had $500 on
deposit in his own name in banks in
Colon and in his home city OF Indian
apolis. in addition to property amount
Ing to $4,000 in various parts of the
United States and Canada. Though de-
nying that he had ever been guilty of
any misconduct in office, Burke is said
to have failed to satisfactorily explain
his possession Of so much wealth, when
given an opportunity to do So by Col
onel Goethals.
Three merchants in the canal zone
who are alleged to have given Burke
commissions in connection with the
purchase Of supplies were indicted with
him. According to a statement issued
by the authorities the government has
suffered no loss through Burke's al
legged acceptance of commissions.

OF
new HARMONY IS
TO Be OBSERVED
Centennial of the Founding
of Cooperative Colony in
Indiana Which Attracted
World Wide Attention.

New Harmony, Ind, June 6.-United
States senators. governors and other
men of national prominence are to
gather In this little town on the Wa
bash during the week beginning to-
morrow to take part In a celebration
Of the centennial anniversary of the
founding of New Harmony. which was
the first notable attempt in America
to establish community based on the
theories Of socialism and cooperation.
The attempt was a failure. though
some of the principles of the founders
have been carried out by the members
of the community down to the present
day.
The community was founded origi-
nally by the Harmonists, sect which
originated in Wurtemberg about 1880.
The founders were George and Fred
erick Rapp. The members of the sect
held their property in common and
considered marriage a civil contract
In 1905 the Rapps and number of
their followers emigrated to America.
and settled first In Butler county,
Pennsylvania. In 1914 they moved to
this section, where they purchased IT,
900 acres of land and founded a COM
munity which they called Harmony.
Ten years later they sold their land
to Robert owen, and returned to Penn
syivania, settled at Economy. a few
miles north OF Pittsburg.
Wide Attention Attracted.
The New Harmony movement. which
attracted worldwide attention. dates
from the time that Robert owen ac-
quired control of the community and
sought to put into practice his the
cries of socialism. Owen. a native of
North Wales, was one of those un-
fortunate men who lived in advance OF
his time. His entire life was devoted
to various plans for the benefit of his
fellow men. and yet he Is remembered
as having been failure.
He Is known as the founder OF Eng
lish socialism. His views were the re-
suit of his own practical and success
full employment of men in large fac
tories. during which he came to rea-
lize the desirability of better rela-
tions between capital and labor. Owen
was but 1s years old when he became
manager of cotton mill employing 500
operatives. Under his direction the
mill became noted for the excellence
of its work. The first American cotton
ever sent to England was used by him.
Mr.. Owen married and settled in
New Lanark, Scotland. Here he be-
came the possessor of one of the lar
gest cotton mills in the country and
began to work out his theories in re-
gard to labor. He viewed with dismay
the social conditions among his people
