SITE FOR CHAUTAUQUA
THE GREAT PROBLEM
GuarantOrs Perfect Organization
and Promise a Program for
1919 Even Better Than That
s. of Last Year, Which Met with
Universal Approval

Burlington's Chautauqua organization
for the season of 1919 was perfected Tues
day noon at a luncheon at the Van
Ness House which was attended by about
a score of the g,iarantors Judge Clinton
A. Barber was unanimously elected presi-
dent, with Elihu r. aft as vice-president
and H. K. Leatherman secretary and
treasurer.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and much interest was taken over the
program to be offered to the public this
year by the Redpath Chautauqua sys-
tenn, which is far better than last years,
and last years program was considered
to be we'll worth twice the price Of the
season ticket.
First of all, the most serious problem
which confronts the Chautauqua organiza-
ton is the site. Last years site has been
turned over to a peace garden and there
fore is not available. So far as was known
Tuesday no lot large enough in the
central part of the city could be utilized
and this situation will be the most
difficult one to meet of them all.
canvass of the entire city, taking in
every street, avenue, place and terrace,
is to be made by the ticket sellers who
will probably he appointed by wards and
the minimum amount of tickets that the
committee Is to try and sell is 1000. If this
amount of tickets is sold none of the 81
guarantors will be obliged to pay cent
of guarantee money
No change in the price of the tickets,
the adults being SEQ for the season. which
includes war tax, and the children's being
81. TO- also including war tax. will be made
this year. but a much higher grade pro-
gram will be offered for the same money
The comm 1tee feels that there is no
doubt but what 1000 tickets can be sold
In advance, because It realizes that
the public enjoyed tho program of last
season and surely got their moneys worth
out of every part of the performances.
The committees appointed consist of the
following:
Grounds committee-Harry s. Howard
chairman, James p Kelley, l.. NJ. Simp-
son, b. ]. Boynton, C. S. Lord and Dr.

STAKE YOUR TOMATOES

Set the stakes for your tomatoes while
the plants are small, and as the plants
grow keep them tied up says a
bulletin from the national war garden
commission of Washington. New shoots
will grow in the axis of the leaves, that
is, at the point where the leaves join the
stem. Take out these new shoots every
week or ten days, or they will delay the
early ripening.
Set the plants three feet apart In rows
four feet apart If they are not to be
taxed but allowed to spread over the
ground, Some vegetables mulching spread
under these plants will protect the fruits
from touching the ground.
Tomatoes need rich soil, good Gull
'ivation and plenty of moisture. Nothing
VIII respond better to a generous supply
or manure than tomatoes.
NO vegetable that grows In the garden
VIII yield bigger crop in proportion to
the amount of space planted than the
tomato Furthermore, it Is a food which
/ can be enjoyed In one form or another
nearly every day all summer long.

GARY SPURNS PLAN
FOR LABOR PARLEY
Steel Corporation Head Un-
changed in Opposition to
Meeting Union Chiefs.

New YOrk-After being shown an
Associated Press dispatch quoting
John Fitzpatrick, director general OF
the steel strike, as saying the walk
out would end Immediately II the
United States Steel Corporation would
arbitrate differences, Ebert FL. Gary,
directing head of the corporation, de.
clared in a statement, speaking for
himself, that he believed the board
OF directors cannot negotiate or con.
fer with Mr.. Fitzpatrick or his as
sociates."
Mr.. Gary was shown the dispatch
while he was attending a dinner given
here by Baron KOndo, president OF
the Japan Mail Steamship Company,
and was asked to make some COM
ment. Breaking the silence he has
maintained since the beginning of the
strike, Mr.. Gary wrote a statement
while seated at the table, and then.
calling the newspaper men into the
hall, read it to them.
"The board of directors OF the
United States Steel Corporation are
the representatives Of nearly 10000
stockholders including from 10000 to
10000 employees" said the statement.
1--WE are their servants and are select
ed to represent and protect their in
terests and also the interests OF all
our 100000 employees, the majority
OF whom, / think, are not members
of labor unions.
Moreover, / believe our corporation
is under great obligations TO the gen.
eral public concerning the issues in
volved in the pending strike. In
these circumstances l would not at
present assume to answer the question
propounded to me.
However, 1 will say for myself that
questions of moral principle cannot be
arbitrated nor compromised, and in
my opinion, such questions are includ-
ed in the present unfortunate strugt g.
l also think we cannot negotiate or
confer with Mr.. Fitzpatrick and his
associates as union labor leaders CON
cerning our employees, whom these
gentlemen have volunteered to repre-
sent"

PALMER NOT TO CHECK
DRY ENFORCEMENT
Department of Justice Not to
Ease Up on Prosecution
of VioIatorS.

Washington.-"The department OF
justice has no intention of letting up in
its prosecution of violatOrS of the war
time prohibition law" declared Attor-
ney General Palmer. 81 do not look for
a proclamation by the President de-
claring rehabilitation complete until
the ratification of the peace treaty by
the senate"
Mr.. Palmer would not discuss the
case pending in court at Trenton by
which it is sought, in trying to prove
that the war is over, to Justify the sale
of liquor. He declared the law was
clear on that question in that 1t pro
vided that wartime prohibition should
remain in force until the end of the
war, which had been defined as upon
the exchange of ratification of the
treaty of peace and thereafter until
rehabilitation has been completed"
The attorney general said he did
not know of any reason why President
Wilson should declare by a proclama-
tiOn that the demonilizatiOn of the
army was complete, except for the
purpose of stopping the effect of the
prohibition law. This the President
has said he would not do until the SEN
ate has ratified the peace treaty.
Prohibition advocates here say the
Trenton case is a ruse being worked by
the liquor interests to secure freedom
to dispose of their stocks before the
eighteenth amendment puts stop to
them for all time. 1t is pointed out
that the first move OF the sort was to
get court decision that 2.75 per cent.
beer was not Intoxicating Then the
wartime prohibition enforcement act
put that out of business.
Now it is charged they seek a court
decision that the war IS over. 1t is
said they intend to try to obtain such
a decision by lower court to this eff

difficult to secure a conviction by n
