Seems? Seems?" half shouted Mr..
Bowser. why woman, of course there
is a profit, and humping big one
too. and it's a wonder Carnegie
hasn't seen it. For $4,000 my old
friend will ship me 1000 fat and juicy

worth picking up?'
Certainly it is

Mr.. Bowser. You say you get your

"Of course they do. You wouldn't

Mr.. Bowser was silent. He was taken

Mrs. Bowser, "of course they have got

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 1.-The
criminal court of appeals today re-
fused to reduce the bail or $4,000
each for Claude Sawyer, Bud Max
field and Charley Johnson, charged
with the robbery of the stroud Ma
uOnal and the First National banks
of Stroud on March 27, at the time
Henry starr and his companion, Estes,
were shot and captured. Sawyer
MaXfield and johnson were arrested
later and charged with the crime.
on the examination Of the three
men before the county judge their
bonds were fixed at 81 900 each. Yes
terday supOn habeas corpus proceed

county, for a reduction of bail, the
court reduced the amount to $4,000
in one case and $1,000 in another
both being under the charge of rob
bing two banks. The case was brought
to the criminal court of appeals on
an appeal from the district court ask
ing that the bail be further reduced.

Could Raise $4,000.
MaXfield was arrested at Tulsa,
johnson at Bartlesville and Sawyer
at McAlester Attorneys representing
the men asked that the bail be re-
duced to $4,000 each. This they
thought their clients would be able to
give but the amount as it is now they
cannot give.
Taking into consideration the Sc
robustness of the offense and what
might have happened had an open
fight ensued between the citizens and
the bank robbers, It being in open
daylight, the high court did not feel
justified in interfering with the ac-
ton of the Lincoln county district
court in fixing bail.

NEW BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL FORMED TO
FIGHT JOINT AGREEMENT

Fiji JUN i
A new building trades council to
oppose the one ruled by Simon
ODonnen was organized today. 1t
was organized by representatives of
unions which do not want to sign the
joint arbitration agreement. 1t will
be called the Union Building Trades
Council of Chicago and Vicinity.
Already the following union bodies
have signified intention to join: Lath-
ers, sheet metal workers, painters,
machinists, electricians, GLACIERS, up
holsterers, fnishers and fixture hang
ers.
Union men are predicting that the
death knen of the present Building
Trades Council will soon be rung.
They say it is only matter of time
until every organization now afiliat-
ed with the O'DOnnel council will
flop to the new one.
The new council will fight to the
last ditch against the proposed agree
ment, fight with every man lined
sOlidly on the issue. It will insist that
each union be permitted to sign such
agreements as it deems satisfactory,
with no dictation from the building
trades council. 1t would take all reg
ulation of such matters from local
council jurisdiction and place it with
the unions international officers.
Organization was effected. at a
meeting held in the Office of the ma
chinists, 1O6 N. LaSalle. Charles
Frye, business agent of the machin-
lists, was elected temporary president.
The new council will start off with
a membership of 10000 union build
ing workers. The painters alone
number more than 10000
1t was reported today that Simon
O'QOnne1 was i'll at his home and
there would therefore be no meeting
of the Chicago Building Trades Coun-

ANINEE1lVlElNl
terday are not concealing that the
real reason for the strike was that
nOn-uniOn fathers were being worked
in place of union men who were
locked out last week. This gives the
walkout the coloring of a "sympa-
thetic" strike, to which the council
is so bitterly opposed.
If the Chicago Building Trades
Council backs up it's threats the
painters, machinists and sheet metal
workers would be ruled out of the
organization at once, say its Oppo-
nents.
Really the best news that has yet
come into the office of the Iocked-out
fathers was the announcement today
of the electricians that they would
stand by the fathers to the finish, no
matter what was required. The Elec-
trical Workers, 1874, met at 500 N.
State last night and unanimously
voted to lend every possible assis-
lance to the fathers. Tell us what
you want us to do and we will show
you how quick we can act" was the
message sent to Iathers' headquar-
tiers. The action of the electricians
is another severe blow to the Build
ing Trades Council.
Union glazers quit work on six mi
nor jobs because nonunion fathers
were being employed. One of these

was made to spool them by having

This is not the first time there has
been schism in the building trades
body. The present council was the
result of a split with the old Associ-
ated Building Trades, the former

A REMARKABLE HEN
Lays Three Eggs at a Time
Owner Has Proof

There may be those who will be
inclined to doubt that there is
hen that lays three eggs at time
but the owner has the proof. Os-
car Kahl of the Bairdville section,
has such a hen. He went out to
the nest the other day-the hen
flew off as he approached, and he
found therein three eggs freshly
laid. That the three were laid at
the same time is evident from the
fact that they are joined together.
Each is a perfect egg in itself but
is encased in a soft shell, and i'll
this skin-like covering they are
joined each to the other. One of
the eggs is of the ordinary size,
the second is smaller and the third
is still smaller. Mr.. Kahl is pre-
serving the eggs intact, keeping
them in alcohol, so that he can
prove up if anyone doubts that he
has a hen that lays three eggs at
a time. He likely has a bonanza
in this hen, for it may be that she
will soon begin to lay eggs three
at time, all of full size and with
hard shells. Then he will have a
big demand for eggs for setting
purposes. A question arises
though: Will each egg laid by
this hen hatch out a three-headed
chicken or will it take three eggs
to hatch out one chicken; or will
each egg hatch out a hen that will
lay three eggs at time? The at
tention of the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis is called to this remark
able hen that Mr. Kahl has, and
that paper being an authority on
hen and egg matters may be able
to answer the questions that have
arisen. This may be the kind of
a hen the Metropolis would have
every body plant.

One Lesson From The War

This war ought to teach the
world many lessons, and they will
not all be lessons concerning the
power of explosives or the resis-
lance of armorplate. Many of
the lessons will have to do with
the arts of peace. And .o-e of
them, at least, has directly TO do
with this town.
The lesson is this: One well may
wonder what would be the fate of
any nation whose army went into
battle as a mere crowd of indivi-
duals, without leaders, without
plan and without having in view
a definite achievement.
There are lot of people in this
community who would honestly
