There are people in the town who are thus early yoicing opinion in op- position to the purchase of the Seid- ner building to serve as town hall. It is urged that the structure is inade- quate for the required service, and that the location is undesirable. Oth- CTS are asking what has become of that proposed gift to the town of a modern town hall, plans of which were exhibited at a town meeting when it was planned to make appro- priation for the construction of an up to date town building. It was stated at that meeting that site had been selected and the building was sure to materiaIize. The name of the pros pectiye donor was not made public.

WARNS COAL MINERS
President Wilson Says There
Must Be No Strike.
VIII Appoint Commission II Joint
Scale Committee Falls to
Reach Agreement.

Washington. May 25.-Anthracite
operators and miners were warned on
Saturday by President Wilson that
there must be no strike in the anthra-
cite coal fields during this critical
period.
Writing to the members of the joint
scale committee, which has been con-
Quoting negotiations for two months,
the president said that If they should
be unable to reach an agreement, he
would insist that the questions In dis
pute be submitted to the determination
of a commission to be appointed by
him, and that work be continued In
the mines pending the decision of the
commission. He added that the award
to be made would be retroactive on
April 1, the date of the expiration OF
the old agreement between the opera
tors and miners.
The president said he would hold
himself in readiness to appoint
commission.
In making public the presidents let
ter Secretary Wilson, who has been In
conference with the wage scale COM
mittee at the department of labor for
the last three weeks, said he was con-
f1dent that when the committee recon-
vened Thursday 1t will either reach a
mutual agreement or the question In
dispute will be submitted to COM
mission as suggested by the president.
There will be no strike in the an
thracite coal fields" he said.

COAL OPERATORS
ARE VICTORIOUS
Indictments Quashed by Judge
Anderson in United States
Court at indianapolis.
Lever ACT SECTIONS VOID
Portions Cited as Class Legislation
Permitting Farmers and Food
Dealers to Hoard and Charge
Excessive Prices.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 2S.-Declar.
ing that certain sections of the Lever
act are class legislation in that thew
permit farmers and food dealers to
hoard food and charge excessive prices
while denying the same privilege as
regards coal to miners and operators.
Judge A. B. Anderson, in United
States district court here on Wednes-
day sustained the motion to uuash
the indictments recently returned
agafnt 125 coal operators and miners
as regards 13 Of the IS counts and
overruled the motion in regard to the
other five.
Judge Anderson, in delivering his
opinion, declared that amended sec
ton four of the Lever act is void and
that the original section four is in
sufficient. He also declared that Sec
ton 26 Of the Lever act is void.
The courts action is the culmina-
ton Of the long-standing coal contro-
versy, having its inception in the ma
tion-wide strike of bituminous coal
miners last November.
Charles Evans Hughes, chief coun-
sci, and legal batteries for both the
miners and operators attacked the con-
stitutionality Of the Lever act, when
the case first came up in the court
here three weeks ago. They also at.
tackled the indictment as faulty.

BILLY RUeLER's RIDE.

'T've been asked" said Billy Bugler,
the Boston Bull dog, "to tell you about
the ride had the other day in the
automobile.
81 don't know why I should speak
of it as the autombile, for of course
there are other automobiles in the
world, though that day I hardly felt
as though there were. It just seemed
as if we were in the only automobile
and as though I were the only lucky
dog in the world. OF course I know
that isn't so.
"How we dogs do like an automobile
ride. My missy used to own little
one and we used to ride about all the
time, but she hasn't had one lately,
though within the last week or so I've
heard a good deal of automobile talk
going on in our house and wouldn't
be bit surprised if Billy Bugler own
ed an automobile before long. OF
course it really wouldn't be mine, but
it would be almost the same.
"My missy and I share everything
| together. And I've heard talk about
which sorts Of horns were the best, or
which horn made the loudest and at
| the same time the most pleasant noise
| of all.
"It strikes me that when they begin
to talk of horns there must be some
thing going to happen in the way Of
getting an automobile. Now I heard
them speak of which engine was bet
ter than another and of which make
required least repairs. Repairs, you
know, are things being mended. Auto
mobiles have to be mended just like
ladies' dresses and little dogs jackets
and blankets.
"And there was talk about which
one went more smoothly than anoth-
er. But was going to tell of the ride
I had the other day. I sat up in the
front seat very proud and feeling very
fine. I shifted the air and thought it
was delicious air. One goes through
the air in such a fascinating way in an
automobile. One just shifts in lots of
it-wind and little breezes and all.
"Even if one shifts in little of the
gasoline which helps to run the auto
rnobile-or whatever it does dot has

something to do with an automobile
that is most Important do not even
mind that. In fact, I like it.
81 know when I've been riding in an
automobile we've stopped for gasoline.
I've always been glad of that, for that
las meant that we were going on rid
ing and we wouldn't stop in hurry.
"On this ride of the other day I
sat up and looked about me and my
missy talked to me, too.
"'BiIly Bugler,' she said, do you see
a kitten? l pricked up my ears, and
there, true enough was kitten walk
ing along the side of the road.
"Then she said, Billy Bugler, do
you see a bossy cow?' And I looked
and there was bossy cow.

moment, do you see a little chicken?

put up my ears to let her know had
heard and to let her know too, I had
seen what she was pointing out to me.

"Oh, it was q fine ride, simply fine.
And it was so nice to have ones missy
point out all the things of interest to
see along the road.
"You know how folks will talk to
each other about the scenery and such
things. They will say, My dear, do
look at that old-fashioned rosebush.
Isn't it glorious?'
"But my missy knows just what is
the sort of talk like to hear. I love
to see the animals in the fields and
along the roads and the little birds on
the telegraph wires. 1t is great fun to
see the sights when riding! And it
makes a dog feel of good deal of i'm
| portance, too, when someone talks to
him like that and speaks of the things
that will interest a dog most. "And,
ended Billy Bugler, this is almost a
never-failing rule

the more he will love you'll"
