PAY DAY TODAY
GUARD PLANTS
Police Act to Prevent Men
\ Who Get Pay From Being
y Held Up Here.

On account of several plants in
this city paying their employees to-
day, Chief of Police Patrick j..
Burke is taking great precautions to
prevent any holdups being commit
ted in this city. This action is
taken by the chief SO as to be pre-
pared if any of the crimes being
committed throughout the country.
should come to this city. Motorcy-
Gle men have been instructed TO
guard the payrolls Of the various
plants from the banks to the facto-
ries, while plain clothes and uni
formed men are stationed at va
rious plants along the line.
Men coming from work with their
pay will also be protected by the po-
lice today and tonight. SO as to pre-
vent any holdups. An attempt was
made to rob an employe of the Rar-
itan Copper Works returning from
work on last Sunday night, but the
would-be robber was beaten off
with dinner pail.
Would Pay Men by Checks.
Assemblyman-ele Edward J.
Peterson, of this city, has received
communications from several in
dustrial concerns in this county re-
questing that the legislature repeal
the present law which prohibits the
paying of employees by check. Ow-
ing to the crime wave which is
sweeping the country. the letters
have pointed out, paydays at the
large factories offer excellent OPP
portunities to bandits to make large
hauls of cash. If the men were
paid by check, the industrial heads
maintain it would be impossible for
the robbers to cash the checks un-
less they forged the names OF the
employees to whom the checks were
issued. The plants could also stop
payment upon checks which were
stolen, if notified in time, it is fur
ther maintained.
According to Mr.. Peterson. he ex-
poets to- be one of the asemblymen
named on the labor and industry
committee of the House. and if he
fs named to this committee he will
introduce such a bill as is request
ed by the plants.

CAVERN MINSTREL
DEAD, REPORT SAYS

Luray, Va, Sept. 4.-George Piper.
perhaps the best known CoIored man
in northern Virginia, whose home
was in Luray, is dead in Philadel-
phia. where he has been living for
some time. Piper's notoriety was
due to the fact Of his entertainment
for years of visitors to the Luray
CaVeTns.
Clad in the most grotesque gar
ments, always wearing a set of cow
horns on his head, and emitting the
most unearthly yells in imitation of
the red man. all the time carrying
his favOrite banjo, on which he was
an adept. Piper for hours during
the presence of eXcursionists would
parade the streets of Luray, and
every time he would stop it was the
signal for gathering of the eXcur-
sionists.
In this way he accumulated many
hundreds of dollars. all of which
was used in building a concrete
dwelling house in the western sub
urbs of this town. The house has
been in course of construction for
the past fifteen years, and every
time that Piper's money would give
out building operations on the house
would cease until he had again ac-
cumulated another sum with which
to begin work. Piper did all of the
work on the house himself.

Ban on Cider Hits
Farmers Hard Blow
AS Apple Crop Rots

Cumberland, Nd. Sept. 4. - The
ground OF hundreds Of apple
orchards in Bedford County, north
of here, are deep with apples that
have dropped from the trees for
which there is no sale. The farm
6rs will not take any chance at
making cider. Farmers who oper-
ated cider mills to which neighbors
brought apples have shut down.
Hundreds of farmers are turning
their hogs into the orchards that
they may feed on the apples. hoping
in this way to have the second
grade fruit consumed at a saving
of grain. Il
To store a large crop of barrels
to ripen into Vi1Cear is costly
uICI.osition. In the first place it re-
Gu!res great many barrels hard to
Ert since the liquor business has
been knocked oUt for whisky bar
rels were formerly Ubtainablc at q
nominal sum.
More than that, cider to ripen
into vinegar is a slow process and
depending on the temperature
where kept, may take one, two or
three years to mature. In the mean
time it is hard cider, and to keep a
thirsty populace away from this is
no small joo.
The boiling OF apple butter, ac-
cOrCinE to a farmer. is void of much
profit, because of the great price of
sugar.
