Lamar people on Tuesday thought
they were having a wind storm and
did get little sand in their eyes, but
the next day when they began to read
the reports from otGer points it SEEM
ed as it was only a balmy zephyr that
reached Lamar. Al Denver buildings
were blown down and much damage
done all along the line as far down
as La Junta where a plate glass win
dow was blown out. In this section
no damage was done to anything but
the housewives feelings. East and
southeast of US clear beyond the Mis-
sissippi the damage was immense.
Chicago and Kansas City were great
sufferers, and in Texas and Oklahoma

McGRATH AWAITS HEARING.
Man Taken to Racine on Forgery
Charge is Held Awaiting the
Coming Of Federal Officials.

John McGrath, "federal inspector, -
who came here to inspect factories on

awaiting hearing on charges of utter
ing worthless checks. He has not been
given hearing in court there and the
Racine officials do not seem overly
anxious to have any hearing. McGrath
is proving study for the Chicago
federal officials. Hinton Claubaugh,
head of the department., sent mes
sage to Chief O'Hare on Monday af-
ternoon, declaring that he had been
looking for this fellow for some time
and that he would at once send men to
Racine to look into the case. The head
of the Chicago department. declared
that he did not know McGrath, but
that he was probably one of the men
who had been posing as a federal
agent in. different parts of the country.
McGrath claimed that his home was
in Milwaukee.

the hospital will not be permitted to
leave the institution for visits at

ing issued to them and in no case will
these be issued for Christmas, New

conduct of nurses.
The rules of the housing of the
patients will make it impossible for
friends to have any packages delivered
except through the superintendent and
under no conditions will friends be per-
mitted to send food to patients in the
institution. Gifts of food must be sent
direct to the superintendent and if
this food is furnished to the patients
it must be on the regular tables at the
sanatorium.
The rules as adopted are considered
the most advanced adopted for the
regulation of an institution of this
kind and they have the sanction
of authorities in the treatment of
tuberculosis.

CAR WINDOWS ARE SMASHED

Gets to Kenosha to Make Investiga-

Cars hreiff Does Not Aid Com.

The streets of the village of Bristol
came near running red with blood :"
OF Monday afternoon when some three
hundred of the men released by the
ice companies at places along the
western division of the North Western
road engaged in free for all fight on
the streets of the village. The men
had been paid off early in the morning
and it is declared that most of the
money they received went over the bars
at the saloons in the ice district.
The men were ticketed TO Chicago
and they started away from the ice
fields on the way freight just after noon
Monday. There were three passen-
ger cars placed on the freight in order
to take care of the men and they were
crowded into the three cars just the
same way that they had been packed in
some of the lodging houses at the
lakes during the cutting season The
train had hardly got under way out of
Salem before bad whiskey and bad
blood was much in evidence and before
the train reached Bristol there had
been a half dozen fights in the
coaches in which windows had been
smashed and heads smashed as well.
The train men were unable to put an
end to the fighting. When the train
stopped at Bristol the men decided to
fight it out on terra frma and there
was a free for all fight started in
which it was declared that more than
fifty men were engaged. There were

Jeffery Company Announces
New Schedule for Hour
Workers at Big Plant on
Washington's Birthday.
WORK FIFTY HOURS A Week

Some two thousand men employed in
the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey
Company had pleasant little surprise
today when the officials of the company
posted the following notice:
Commencing February 28th,
the entire day force of this shop
will operate on a fifty hour per
week basis. All hour rates will be
advanced ten per cent
The little notice bore the date Of
Washington s birthday and the men in
the big west side factory were just as
busy celebrating the new conditions of
work as they were the birthday of the
First in War; For some time the
day men have been working on a fifty
four hour week schedule. After the
2Sth the working day will be from
seven in the morning until five in the
afternoon with the half holiday on Sat
urday. There will be no reduction in
wages Of men who work on the hour
basis. The night force has been work
ing at the rate of sixty hours a week
and the working hours after the new
schedule goes into effect will be fifty
four hours. The ten per cent advance
in the hour rate will effect all men en-
ployed on this basis in the big factory.
The new schedule promises to be
most popular with the great Jeffrey
family of workmen. They have been
seeking a reduction of the hours of
work for some time and the plan caus-
ed many expressions of satisfaction
following the serving of the formal
notice this morning. TO the company
it means straight increase of ten per
cent in the wages of the very large
majority of the men employed in the
plant. Nearly all of the men employed
are now working on the hour schedule.
Officials of the company declined to
discuss the new order this morning
:" 1t means just what it says said one
of the managers 'Sand | can see no
reason for further discussion of it..

TO SEEK BETTER LAWS.

To permit the interchange of views
with the ultimate idea of making fish
ing laws more satisfactory, the Wis
eonsin conservation commission has
arranged for a meeting with CONNER
cial fishermen in the convention hall
cf the Republican House, Milwaukee,
on Wednesday at two O'Clock. There
are number of objections to the laws
as now enforced, particularly matters
concerning nets, and there are many in
the industry who have changes to sug-
gest that will work to the advantage
OF both themselves and the commits
sion. The conference was authorized
by the last legislature when it was
pointed out that an expression of the
views of the men most vitality con
cerned in those portions of the game
laws would be valuable, and a resohl-
ton authorized the coming gathering.
All fishermen affected are invited to
attend and present their views on
what they believe should be considered
in the revision of a law. Meetings
have been held in various parts OF re
state. The gathering in Milwau-
kee is for the benefit of Racine 2n!

mits or ice conditions permit. At pres

their catch to the boatline docks.

ton to those on the island there are a
few scattered along the shore north

vessels and they will have large
representation at the meeting.

the teeth of some of the contenders
were buried in the flesh of the men
they battled with. Bristol was aroused
and a hurry up call was sent to the
sheriff. My this time the train was
ready to move along and when it
reached Kenosha the sheriff was wait
ing. He had with him the chief of
police and a full coterie of deputies
and police officers. AS the men climb
ed out of the ruined cars they were
forced to lie up and they were put
aboard a train to Chicago just as
rapidly as possible. Many of them
were bruised and bleeding. Some of
the men showed willingness to fight
the police and the sheriff. Most of the
men were loaded on the south bound
trains within an hour after they had
reached Kenosha, but sixteen of the
number We're arrested and held in the
Jail and at the city lookup over night.
They were taken to court this
morning and then driven out of the
city as scarcely one of them had
money enough left from the season s
work to pay the fine and costs. Tt
was the sorest looking bunch of men
that was ever brought into Kenosha
from the ice fields.
