I t IE to 1 D F I ft M DEFEAT FOR UNI SHOP FEDERATION 18 REFUSED RECOGNITION BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD, ISSUE NOW UP TO WORKERS Stand of Harrlman Lines Chief Makes Strike on Big Rail System Immi nent No Further Conferences Are Arranged for. San FrnncI&y'O. The Southern Pa clflo Railroad company, through Ju lius Kruttschnltt, vice-president and director of maintenance of the Harrl man lines, absolutely rejected a de mand for recognition of the Federa tion of Shop Employes, comptislng Are shop craft unions and 25,000 men. Whether or not a strike shall be called of nil shopmen on the Harrl man system rests with the national officers now in this city. P. W. Alhern of the Southern Pa cific bureau of economy, spokesman for Kruttschnltt, mado this statement Just after the labor officials had left ,the mooting room In tho Flood build ing: "The railway officials refused to recognize tho railway federation while agreeing to discuss their demands with tho representatives of their In dividual crafts. "As a basis for this refusal thoy contended that tho company cannot conscientiously perform its proper du ties to the public, as a quasi-public corporation, and place In the hands of any federation the power that -would necessarily be placed In any such organization as was proposed." The company's refusal to recognize tho federation is all that occurred at the conference, and no further meet ing between the 'railroad officials and the union men has been arranged. After they left Kruttschnltt's office the labor officials refused to discuss the conference, declaring they had nothing to say. Their manner indi cated that their patience had been tried by tho four hours' debate wlttt. the railroad officials. They were brusque and curt and their expression vindicated that Jhe sltustlon wn seri ous. - There can be no appeal from Krutt ohnttt'B decision. .T. W Kline, repre senting the shopmen, has received a telegram from Prosldont Lovett of the Harrlman system saying that any actionresolved upon by the offi cials now here would be ratified by the railroad company. The Southern Pacific company con tinues to lay off men, between seventy-live and one hundred men from Its .auditing staff having been dropped. Most of these men have been em ployed as train auditors, whose work Tvlll be done hereafter by conductors.

ENEMY OF THE CROP A PEST THAT IS CAUSING FARM. ER8 SOME ANXJCTY. r GOES AFTER THE ALFALFA Unclassified 'Worm Shows Up Southwestern Nebraska and Is Doing Much Damage In. A new alfalfa post has made Its ap pearanco In southwestern Nebraska. Tho crop onoiuy is a species of tho garden wob-worm, averaging throe olghtn of an Inch In length and striped alternately light and dark about tho body. It has dostroyed Rus sian thistle nnd has attacked alfalfa west of Beaver City to such an ox tent Mint considerable concern Is felt for tho Inst cutting of that crop It Is in no wny related to tho Utah alfalfa pest ( Professor Bruncr, stntq entomolo gist, to whom complaints, of tho al falfa devastation hnvo been referred, has not clnssllled tho pest with cor tnlnty furthor than, to plneo It In tho family of web-worms, andjln a group of ppecleg akin to tho gijrdon web worm Ho has announced tnnt the: a la nothing to bo dono to chock tho post nnd that it will probably dtanppenr In n. couplo of weeks, uHhouph possibly not botoro it has dono considerable damage to tho last nlfalfa crop. From tho storlos that lmvo como In, tho now pest Is covering tho terri tory west of Oxford and jElwood to the state lino, covorlng tjio country between the Beaver and Uhe Platte rivers. During tho exceedingly dry weather n few weeks ago tho country was overrun with mlllors from which Hit) worms me presumed to have sprung later. Tho probability, accord ing to Prof. Bruncr, Is thai tho bugs' natural enemies will exterminate them in a nhort time nnd that they will not renpponr next year unless this summer's drouth Is repeated. Reports received by Prof, lirunor Indlcnto that tho pest first devours tho KusBlan thistles and later attacks al falfa, clover and the grasses.

THE SURETY BONDO Attorney Goneral Decides They Can Stand. In a lengthy lottcr giving his opin ion on different plmsos of tho now bank guaranty doposlt law, Attorney General Grant Martin has asserted that as far as banks not under that law nro concorncd tho old depository law Is In full forco nnd offect and that for funds deposited with national banks In this stato tho state treasurer can require security In (ho nlmpo of bonds nnd that ho can doposlt In no linnlr tunrit thnn 4ft ini fnllt ilf tlin amount of tiio capital stock of that bnnk. Futhor, Attorney General Martin says that bonds given for tho securi ty of public funds cannot bo released by any public official, therefore var ious stato banks which gave such bonds for tho security of stato funds In their possession prior to tho going into effect of tho bnnk guaranty net must continue to Keep such bonds ullve until their legal termination at lenst. In this connection Attorney Goneral Martin says: "Surety bonds nnd othor elnsses of securities wero taken by tho state for the deposit of Its funds pi lor to tho passngo of tho present law, which provides that no additional securities shall ho requited, hut Hie bank guar anty fund shnll bo deemed sufficient security for both public nnd private funds. Under oUicr provisions of tho bank guaranty act the deposit of pub lic funds so secured wero exprossly exempted from assessments for tho guaranty fund. It follows that tho banks which hnvo on doposlt funds, nnd havo given surety bonds therefor havo not, up to this tlmo boon com piled to pay any assessments on the amount of stato deposits. Consequent ly thoy havo not suffered by reason of having paid tho premiums on sure ty bonds. Until such time its an as sessment has been made which cov ers the amount of theso stato do posits they would have no cause for complaint and could not expect to be reimbursed for any part of premiums paid. "It is poiaible that tho courts might hold that theso surety bonds aro re leased by operation of law, but the bonds themselves could, not bo sur rendered, but must remain on file with tho proper Btate officer, A shortage or defalcation might have Ltalcon-plAce botwcoau,-tno tlnicwhen the bonds wore given and the presnt tlmo and the bond Is intended to cov er such loss, If any, for such period of time. "I know of no way by which the bonds could bo released by consent of the parties. Tho banks, tho Biiroty companies, tho stato and those Inter ested In tho gunranty fund, whore no assessment has been collected on ac count of other security, would nil havo rlghU in law and equity, grow lng out of tho bond contract. It Is doubtful whether any agent of tho stato would havo a lawful right to consent to n release of tho boud and oven though ho did so consent to cancel tho bond nnd surrender It, It Is nlso questionable whothcr said act would bo binding upon tho state and thoso Interested in the guaranty fund. "As I viow tho law, you now havo Mm right to deposit stato funds In nny bank which has compllod with the bank guaranty law, to tho extent of not exceeding 30 por cent of Its capital stock, nnd In so doing you nro not required to demand from any such bank nny furthor securities In tho way of surety bonds or real ostnto mortgages, eta, as provided by tho depository law. Of course, tho de pository law Is still In full force, and effect so far as hanks not under tho guaranty aco aro .concerned.' - ' i Governor Going Away.

"Thoy aro mischief makers and no treacherous as a rattlesnake," the old man said on his deathbed. Out of grntltudo for tho man whq had been his true friend and who as sisted him In his last days, Stoller left a good farm in Warrick county, near here, to .Too Haas, n grocer and poli tician. Years ago Stullcr came hero from Louisville nnd got employment ns a harness maker. Ho toiled steadily nt his bench, and seldom lost n day from his work. Among tho largo 'number of employes in this establishment Stol ler was regarded as eccentric. Ho talked llttlo, and to none of his fel low worklngmon did ho mako any mention of his past life. Most of tho men wlUi whom ho workod thought ho was n bachelor, nono knowing that at ono tlmo ho had a happy homo; that ho had become a woman-hater because tho wife ho loved tenderly ceased to lovo him, and desorted him when tho hand of af fliction was laid upon him, In silence and alono Stellor boro his burden and saved his money. Ho had no one to lire tor, and cared 'lit tle about tho companionship of hla fellows. He lived alono above the John Steller. grocery store ot Haas, and not until his last Illness was tho story of his llfo revealed. Stellor was taken ill and remained In bis room. Ho was ill for soveral days before any ono mado Inquiries about him. Thon Haas, who had not seen tho old man for somo days, went to his room and found tho door lock ed. IIo broko in, and thero found Stol ler lying on the bed In a semi-conscious condition, from which ho was with difficulty aroused. When Stoller fully realized that tho ond was near ho told Has that he wanted to talk over some matters with him. Then ho told tho grocer the story ot his llfo. IIo had been married, he said, and was happy with his wife In their homo in Louisville. After their son was born his wife asked him to deed over his property to her. He arranged mat ters so that she could tako control ot half of It A short time afterward he becamo ill with typhoid fever. Aftor Btrnngors had ministered to him, he asked for his wife. Ho was told she had gono away. When ho sent ward begging her to return to him ho said sho replied that sho didn't lovo him any more and bo would havo to get along wlUi out her. Later ho obtainod a dl vorco and came to Evansvlllo to work at his trade "Now yo,u know why I am a woman hater," ho said. "I hate them all. They are a curse to tho raco, meddle some and treacherous as a rattlo snako and ns uncertain as llfo It solf. "I guess It's all up with me now. Before I die I want to mako one re quest of you. I don't want any liv ing woman to attend my funornl. Keep them ull away. They would only como through curiosity, any way." A short whllo later ho was dead. Hans oboyed the dying request Ho nlono accompanied tho undertakers to to graveyard whero the old man was burled.. Ho will erect a mon ument over the gravo and pay for it himself. Besides tho property left to Haas, Steller had a $1,000 llfo Insurnnco pol icy, payablo to his son. Tho son did not nttend tho funeral. It la said ho will collect the lite Insurance, but will not attempt to contest the will be queathing the Indiana farm to Haaa. l. . -Jap. -nm. .jTStelL J" Home fro Tow CITY BUILDING IN GERMANY!
