by Chirf W, II, Mornn and Secret 
Service operatives March 1!). Two ar¬ 
rests were made in connection with the 
recovery of the securities, according to 
the report, to the Secretary of the 
Treasury. 
official* of the United Mine Workers 
of America issued an order March 21 
directing (100,000 miners in the bitumin¬ 
ous and anthracite coal fields to stop 
work at midnight, March 31, when the 
present agreement with the operators 
will expire. 
Fire in storage buildings connected 
with the Wallobout Market, Brooklyn, 
N. V.. March 21. caused loss estimated 
at $50,000. and for a time threatened 
buildings in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 
Four buildings of tbe plant of the 
Carborundum Company in Keasbey. N. 
.1.. were destroyed March 21 by a fire 
which started in the storehouse. Com¬ 
pany officials estimated the damage at 
$50,000. 
For the second time in two weeks fire 
broke out March 21 in Trinity Parish 
House, in (ho rear of historic St. Paul’s 
Chape], Broadway and Fulton Street. 
New York, and before it was brought 
under control did $100,000 damage, 
burned out the third and fourth floors 
of the building and' endangered for a 
time the priceless records of Trinity 
Church, stored in the Fulton Street end 
of the structure. 
WASHINGTON.—A saving of more 
than $300,000,000 will accrue directly to 
shippers of the United States in 1022 as 
a result of freight rate reductions already 
in effect, according to Dr, Julilit 1 Pitrme- 
lee. Director of the Bureau of Railway 
Kcnnomios. This will result in a low¬ 
ered cost of living for every resident of 
the country, ns lowered freight rates are 
reflected in reduced prices of food, cloth¬ 
ing, building materials and all other 
necessities and commodities. If the cost 
of railroad labor can be reduced there is 
justification for the belief that lf)22 will 
see only the beginning of a general rate 
reduction. The saving of $300,000,000 to 
shippers may save consumers more than 
$100,000,000 in lower living costs, it is 
estimated. 
President Harding March 20 issued an 
order recalling all American troops now 
stationed in Germany. The order goes 
into effect at once, but Secretary of War 
Weeks explained that the evacuation will 
be accomplished by the regular army 
transports now in service, and will not 
be completed until July 3 of this year. 
When this order is executed only the sol¬ 
diers engaged in the graves registration 
service, now nearly completed, will be 
left on European soil, and the work of 
the American Expeditionary Force will 
have been ended. 
The Government during the next fiscal 
year must spend a total of $3S.44 for 
i-very resident of the United States, ac¬ 
cording to Secretary Mellon's estimates, 
if the general soldier bonus is added to 
the appropriations already planned. 
Without the bonus hill, estimated to cost 
$-100,000,000 a year, the total cost to the 
Government for the fiscal year will be 
$3-1.04 for each resident "f the country. 
From the pockethooks of taxpayers the 
Government plans to remove next year 
$31.70 for every resident of the country. 
This leaves a deficit of $2.N5 a resident. 
Tbe addition of the bonus expense would 
increase the deficit to $0.05 for each resi¬ 
dent. With tbe bonus added to the cost 
of Government the head of a family of 
five persons will contribute 1o the Gov¬ 
ernment a total of $102.20 in income 
taxes and levies, tobacco, amusements 
and such other things as Congress may 
decide to tax to take care of the bonus. 
EVENTS OF THE WEEK

through the Union Depot business sec¬ 
tion of Chicago March 15 a score of 
buildings were destroyed, one fireman 
killed and a score injured and damage 
done estimated at $5,000,000. It was 
tbe biggest fire in the history of Chicago 
since the conflagration of 1x71. and

tory of rliat disaster. Only after a four- 
hour battle did firemen succeed in get¬ 
ting the blaze under control. The entire 
block bounded by Jackson Boulevard. Van 
Buren Street and Clinton and Canal 
Streets was devastated. Not less than 
120 firms, the underwriters estimate, are 
rendered homeless by the conflagration. 
The number of employees who are ren¬ 
dered temporarily jobless is sot at 25.000. 
Incendiarism was blamed for the fire by 
the authoriMes. 
Thefts of merchandise from New York 
Central Railroad cars on an enormous 
scale resulted in the indictment at Buf¬ 
falo March 10 of railroad detectives, 
saloonkeepers, merchants, chauffeurs and 
others, who arc alleged to have made 
up a ring of thieves and fences that han¬ 
dled goods worth $2,000,000 a year for 
the last three years. The indictments 
were reported by a Federal Grand Jury 
which for 10 days has been hearing evi¬ 
dence gathered by a force of investiga¬ 
tors, Whisky and alcohol comprised the 
chief loot of the ring during the last

New York, special attorney for the Cen¬ 
tral. Since January. 1021. 25 robberies

to Judge Mack in the United States Dis¬ 
trict Court. New York. Those indicted

Sherman, an actuary; Julius Davison, 
lawyer and a receiver in bankruptcy, and 
Barnett Wcingoid, whose fur shop was

indictments recall several arrests made 
about six weeks ago when Rosonblum and 
Sebnss were accused of having a dupli¬ 
cate of a rubber stamp used by cashiers 
in the Revenue Collector's office. 
Teaching surgery by the aid of movies 
is an innovation about to be tried out in 
the University of Michigan medical 
school. This will be the first medical 
school in the world, it is believed, to in¬ 
troduce this method. The experiment 
has been made possible through the gen¬ 
erosity of Dr. IT. N. Torrey of Detroit, 
who not Only gave a very fine moving 
picture machine to the department of 
medicine and surgery, but sufficient 
money to take care of the expenses of 
lhe enterprise. During the Inst five 
years in various parts of tbe country 
moving pictures of operations by famous 
surgeons have been taken, and these have 
been used to illustrate lectures at medical 
conventions. 
As a means of relieving unemployment 
the American Federation of Labor soon 
will ask Congress to enact bills appro¬ 
priating funds for vast land reclamation 
projects and for development of the 
Mississippi River basin by control of 
Hood water, increase of navigability and 
drainage. No estimate of the expendi¬ 
ture involved was made in the report, 
approved by Samuel Gotnpers. which was 
prepared by special committee of the 
labor organization’s legislative committee. 
Edward FT. ives. assistant superin¬ 
tendent of the Detroit United Lines of

girl guest were killed when their auto¬ 
mobile skidded into the path of a Detroit 
United Railway interurban ear near 
Rochester. Mich.. March 19. 
Two former soldiers, who asserted they 
had become tired waiting for the bonus 
and are alleged tn have admitted they 
decided upon blackmail as the easiest 
means of a livelihood, were arrested 
March 19 in Van Cortlandt Park. New 
York, charged with threatening the life 
of Robert Silverman, building contractor, 
of 210 West 96th Street, unless he paid 
I liein $10,000. They were charged w ith 
blackmail. It is expected that the Gov¬ 
ernment will prefer charges of using the 
mails to defraud.

trouble to get the plants grow ing sturdily. 
A protection of coarse fibrous manure 
will be necessary, but it should not he ap¬ 
plied until after the ground freezes in the 
Autumn. , , 
<’mtYSAXTni MTTMS. —To round out the 
season there are many varieties of pom¬ 
pon Chrysanthemums that are ideal for 
outdoor bloom. A light frost will not in- 
iure the plants or blooms, though a pro¬ 
tection of canvas or paper will be neces¬ 
sary if tbe frost is severe. Cuttings 
planted outdoors in early Spring will pro¬ 
duce line blooming plants in the Autumn. 
The plants should he set 8 in. by 10 in. 
apart, and all laterals topped until Au¬ 
gust. After this date support the plants 
ami eneouragp all growth in an upright 
position. Late in Autumn, when all the 
flowers are cut. some of the plants may 
bp protected with fl coarse mulch and 
covered with sash. Early in the Spring 
remove the mulch and ventilate on bright 
days. As soon as growth starts, the 
shoots, several inches long, may he rooted, 
or the old plants dug up and divided for 
new stock. The newer and best varieties 
are: Lvnlda, Area. Niza. Idolf. Doris, 
and Overbrook. There are many other 
varieties to be found in the catalogues. 
A suggestion that may he of assistance is 
to try to plant the flowers in some location 
that will form an attractive vista to the 
passing motorists, who then can see just 
what you have, and < an even have them 
cut fresh if they so desire. The addition 
of fresh vegetables may induce many 
sales. Many city people are beginning to 
realize that they now pay several times 
as much for produce as the farmer re- 
eeives, and do not. procure fresh goods 
even at the exorbitant prices.
