Transfer Made in. Connec- tion With Reorganization
 of the Army Which Has
 Shaken Russia to the Core,
THE MOST RADICAL CHANGE MADE BY
 ANY BELLIGERENT
Not Known Who Will Take
 Up NikOlai's Burden, But
 Many Look to Alexiev, Chief of General Staff

Petrograd, Septem ber &. (Via London, 1:O6 p. m.) Grand Duke Nicholas has been transferred to the Caucasus by Emperor Nicholas.
 The Emperor took this action on assuming command of the military and naval forces of Russia.
 In transferring the grand duke he appointed him viceroy of the Caucasus an dcommand CT in chief of the army on the southern front.
 The transfer was made in connection with a general re- organization of such import ance that it has stirred the na- tion deeply.
 The grand duke replaces the famous viceroy of the Caucasus, Count Von Vorontzoff- -Dushkoff. Emperor Mich olas addressed to the count a con- munication acknowledging the value of his labors and stating that 'he yields to his request to be permitted to de-
 vote his energies to work for which his
 state of health is more equal"
 The Emperor attaches him to his
 personal staff.
 The Emperor addressed a communi- cation to the grand duke which reads: Letter Relieving Grand Duke
 At the beginning of the war I was unavoidably prevented from following the inclination of my soul, to put my
 self at the head of the army. That was why l entrusted you with the com membership in chief of all the land and sea forces.
 Under the eyes of all Russia your imperial highness has given proof dur ing the war of a steadfast bravery which has caused feeling of profound confidence and called forth the sincere good wishes of all who followed your operations through the inevitable vicis- situdes of war.
 My duty to my country which has been entrusted to me by God impels me today, when the enemy has pene- trated into the interior of the empire, to taIe supreme command of the ac- tive forces and to share with the army the fatigue of war and to safeguard with it Russian soil from attempts of the enemy. The ways of providence are inscrutable but my duty and de- I sire determine me in my resolution for the good of the state.
 '"The invasion of the enemy on the \ western front which necessitates the greatest possible concentration of civil | and military authorities as we'll as the I ;inification of command in the field. has turned our attention from the southern front. At this moment I rec M ognize the necessity of your assistance N and counsels on the southern front and II I appoint you viceroy of the Caucasus and commander in chief of the valiant Caucasian army.
 T express to your imperial high \ ness my profound gratitude and that of \ the country for your labors during the N war"
 Most Important Change M The action of Emperor Nicholas in transferring his cousin, the grand \ duke, to the Caucasian front, is per | haps the most important change of I .his nature which has been made by | any of the belligerent nations. The \ only comparable incident was the re- I tirement by Emperor William last De- I tober of Lieut.. Gen. Count Helmuth vor (Continued on Page EiKhD

Bishop Seaman is
Nearing the End
Hope Of His Recovery Is Abandoned;
Death Said - BE Matter OF
a Few Hours

Salt Lake, May 5.--The Right Rev.
Laurence Seaman, bishop of the do
cese of Salt Lake, Is dying at the
Holy Cross hospital All hope of the
recovery of the bishop was abandon
ed last night and death is now only
n question of few hours. 1t Is I'M
likely that he will live through the
day.
For several months Bishop Seaman
has been seriously i'll. His illness be-
came more acute about month ago.
His vigorous constitution gave hope
of his recovery until yesterday when
he became very much weaker and the
certainty that the end was not far
distant became apparent.
About a week ago his condition be-
came alarming and at the bishops
request the last sacrament of the Ro-
man Catholic church was administer
ed. At times yesterday he was deli
r!ous as a result of his weakened
condition. Early this morning he
was conscious and appeared to be
brighter than at any other time dur
ing the night. He feebly nodded to
those attending him.
The Very Rev. Dennis Kelly, vicar
general of the diocese and life long
friend of Bishop Seaman, is at the
bedside of the bishop. Other close
friends of the bishop remained at the
hospital all night.
Bishop Seaman is nearly ~ years
of age. He has been in Salt Lake
as missionary, rector, priest and bish-
op for forty-three years. Thousands
Of people in all parts Of the west
know him and love him and to them
the news that the venerable bishop
is dying will come as a great shock.

PRUNING SHRUBS

The task of pruning shrubs around
the home is more often neglected
than attended to. Following neglect
the shrubs grow into unsymmetrical
as they did at first. Much dead
wood accumulates among the branch
es, and when 1t Is at last decided that
some pruning must be done, 1t Is
found almost impossible to do sat
isfactory job. The best way to avoid
such a situation is to prune the
shrubs some every year. 1t takes
very little time and by cutting out
little wood every year, one is able
to keep the shrubs in good shape and
can avoid mutilating them by a Sc
we're pruning.
Shrubs which bloom early in the
spring such as bridal wreath, lilacs
and snowballs, should be pruned soon
after they have stopped blooming.
Pruning at this time stimulates the
bIO"lh new WOOu tldl ScdoOu liiat
produces flowers the next spring
/ Those which flower in summer or
fall however such as hydrangea, cor
alberry and mock orange should be
pruned in the fall or spring while
dormant. A few other shrubs, among
them the barberries, require no prun-
ing scarcely, except to remove the
dead branches, or some of those
where the bush is too dense.
In pruning shrubs, one Of the main
things to keep in mind Is that some
of the old wood should be cut out
each year, and some Of the young
shoots allowed to develop, in order
to renew the shrub. Cut out all dead
branches and do not allow the shrubs
to become too dense n. A. MsGin'

A HANDY KITCHEN TABLE
Mrs. NeVa Griffith

i am not financially able to have all
the convenien.es my heart Graves,
but with a very slender purse one can
have a few things with which to
tighten our daily round of labor. The
greatest convenience and step saver

enough TO so in and out the doors
easily, with a lower shelf and fitted
with casters. 1t Is so cheap anybody
may own one.
Have the timer make you tray.
just to fit the top of the table, fasten
down with screws, and your table is
ready for use.
When you are clearing the dining
table after the meal is over, pull
your little step saver close, put all
your left over victuals on 1t, anr II
1t is summer time roll 1t to the re-
frigerator, IL not to the pantry or
cupboard, empty the tray and bring
1t again to the dining room, pile all
your dirty dishes on 1t and push It
TO the sink. After the dishes are
washed you can pile them all on the
tray again and carry them to the cup
board, and have the satisfa. elton OF
making just one trip from the dining
room to the sink and one from the
sink to the cupboard. When your
dinner is cooked have all your bowls
plates and things on the table by
the side of the stove, and your dinner
is out of the pots and on the table

Reply to General Botha's
Protest

London, May 5.-In support OF the
charges that the Germans had pois-
oned wells In the Southwest African
campaign, Lewis Harcourt, secretary
of state for the colonies, tonight is
sued a communication In which he
says that when General Louis Botha,
commander of the Union OF South
Africa forces, occupied Swakopmund
he discovered that six wells had been
poisoned by the arsenical cattle wash.
AS remonstrance, General Botha
sent a communication to Colonel
Franeke, commander of the German
forces. This ELECTED a response, ac-
cording to the statement of Mr.. Har-
court, that the German troops had
been given orders that IL they posi-
bly, can prevent 1t, not to allow any
water supplies to fall into the hands
of the enemy in form which allows
1t to be used for man or beast.
Since the evacuation Of Aus. Warm
bad and other places, General Botha
says in a letter, the German troops
have constantly poisoned all wells on
the railway line in their retirement.

insist upon the open shop principle
and opposed unions with Affiliations
which might bring on sympathetic
strikes.
1--WE would welcome closer rela-
tions with our employees" said Mr..
Atterbury IF 1t could be brought
about under proper auspices. We
would more than welcome an organic
alton of all Pennsylvania railroad en-
ployees among themselves without en-
tangling outside alliances. Such an
organization undoubtedly would be
good for the railroad and anything
that is good for the railroad is good
for the employees.
The Objection of the Pennsylvania

against the company to the commits

would make the men responsible to
the president of the union and not
to the proper officials of the railroad

A new Roosevelt plant of attack was revealed when the testimony Of William H. Hotchkiss, former super intendent of insurance, was taHer.
 lHotchkiss told how he had tried, and failed to cut off the printing or unnecessary copies of tho report of the insurance department.

Then he appealed to the Lyon company. They returned the not unexpected re- ply that they had contract for printing 4O00 copies and proposed to print 4000 capies.
