'THE RURA.I> NEW-YORKER 
EVENTS OF THE WEEK. 
DOMESTIC.—As a result of tlie show¬ 
ing made at the elections Nov. 4, when 
the votes of recently enfranchised women 
are said to have placed eighteen out of 
twenty-four municipalities voting in the 
“dry” column, three hundred cities and 
villages of Illinois will hold local option 
elections next Spring. 
The Interstate Commerce Commission’s 
order reducing express rates was again 
extended Nov. G to February 1 to give 
the companies more time to arrange for 
the change. It was to have been effect¬ 
ive on December 1 and has been postponed 
once before. 
John H. Fonda and Elmer E. Good, the 
latter a lawyer, were put on trial before 
Judge Hand in the United States District 
Court Nov. 6 on an indictment charging 
them with using the mails to defraud 
people who believed themselves to be 
lineal descendants of Anneke Jans Bo- 
gardus and other property owners whose 
names are associated with the pre-Revo- 
lutionary history of New York city, by 
representing that there was a chance to 
recover real estate owned by ancestors. 
Fonda is 88 years old. His partner is 
less than half that age. They were in¬ 
dicted in January, 1912. To give weight 
to their plans, it is said, the defendants 
formed the “Union Association of Heirs 
of Anneke Jans Bogardus, Edwards and 
Webber Estates.” with headquarters at 
158 Pearl street. Buffalo. Most of their 
alleged victims lived in the West, Canada 
and British Columbia. During the trial 
Nov. 7, the lawyers for the Trinity Cor¬ 
poration showed the patent received 
from Queen Anne. The attorney for the 
defendants objected to the authenticity 
of the document, but the court overruled 
him. The patent, copies of which were 
handed to the jury, was so old that it 
was almost impossible to decipher the 
signature. Henry R. Boyle, of Rossland, 
British Columbia, said that since 1904 
he had sent Fonda between $1,800 and 
$2,000 in cash, for which he had never 
received receipts, although small amounts 
of a dollar or so for postage always were 
promptly acknowledged. The charge 
against Fonda was finally dismissed, but 
Good will have to stand trial. 
The $75,000 appropriated for the ex¬ 
penses of the high court of impeachment, 
the verdict of which cost Gov. Sulzer his 
office, is not sufficient to cover the whole 
costs. Bills in excess of the $75,000 ap¬ 
propriation aggregating $48,000 have 
been filed with the State Comptroller. 
Of the $125,000 incurred as expenses of 
the impeachment court the Senators and 
board of managers drew about $50,000 
and the court employees $8,000. The 
Thomas J. Fitzsimmons Detective Agency 
was paid $S,S54 and the Empire Detec¬ 
tive Agency $2,2S0. In addition the 
stenographers who took the impeachment 
court proceedings will have a bill for 
$20,000, which would fix the total ex¬ 
pense of the impeachment court at $150,- 
000 outside of fees for the attorneys for 
both sides. 
Justice James Bratt of Hackensack, 
N. J., believes that one way to stop un¬ 
lawful hunting in the Bergen county 
woods is to impose heavy fines on those 
caught and when two men were taken 
before him Nov. 9 for hunting without 
licenses he fined them $100 each for hav¬ 
ing two snow birds in their possession 
and $20 each for not having permits. The 
prisoners were Joseph Parrelli and Tony 
Guidano, both of Garfield, N. J. v 
Belated reports coming in from the 
storm-swept middle West and great lakes 
section show that the losses of property 
and life Nov. 8-11 are greater than at 
first supposed. The death list may be 
150 and the property loss will reach into 
millions. Thrilling rescues in Lake Hu¬ 
ron and Michigan were revealed when the 
victims reached shelter. On one vessel 
the members of the crew were in the 
•rigging and lashed to the rail almost fro¬ 
zen when help arrived. They were nefir- 
ly famished. A special train with phy¬ 
sicians and nurses met another rescued 
party and saved their arms and legs from 
amputation by prompt measures. It was 
reported that they had been lost with 
their vessel. A lightship in Lake Erie 
with its crew of six was lost. Reports 
say the upper lakes are strewn with 
wrecks. Eight are dead in Ohio and 
hundreds of thousands of dollars dam¬ 
age resulted. Mills had to close down 
because of lack of raw material. Rail¬ 
roads. telegraph and telephone lines suf¬ 
fered heavily all over the storm section. 
Three vessels are reported lost from De¬ 
troit. Five bodies were found near St. 
Joseph’s and Lake Huron, Nov. 11. Four 
had on life belts marked Wexford and 
one London. It is supposed that the 
freighter Wexford was wrecked. At Chi¬ 
cago the storm damaged waterfront prop¬ 
erty in excess of $250,000. The principal 
loss will fall on the park system, as thou¬ 
sands of tons of made land in the Lin¬ 
coln Park exterior were washed away. 
Ohio suffered severely, many industries 
being crippled, and the property loss is 
very heavy. There was a shortage of 
coal and in some places dearth of food. 
Many trains and interurban trolleys were 
stalled, the passengers in some cases be¬ 
ing sheltered on adjacent farms. At 
Cleveland alone the loss is put at $5,000,- 
000 . 
The award of the arbitration board 
in the case of the conductors and train¬ 
men of the Eastern railroads, which was 
made public Nov. 10 by the arbitrators, 
gives an increase on present wages of 7 
per cent. The two railway arbitrators 
presented a dissenting opinion. The ar¬ 
bitration board estimates that this will in¬ 
volve a total increase in the payrolls of 
the forty-one railroads represented in 
the arbitration of about eight-tenths of 1 
per cent of the total operating expenses 
of the roads, or approximately $6,000,000 
a year. They also hold that an addi¬ 
tional burden of $10,000,000 annually is 
placed upon the railroads without addi¬ 
tional service being received by the rail¬ 
roads or the public. This they say comes 
from the $6,000,000 a year now granted 
in addition to $4,000,000 recently added 
to railroad expenses through the opera¬ 
tion of the extra crew laws passed in this 
territory' at the behest of the labor or¬ 
ganizations. The arbitrators say that in¬ 
asmuch as the railroads did not plead 
their inability to meet any increase of 
pay it was not necessary to dwell upon 
that point. Further ou when the board 
came to consider whether an increase of 
wages will mean an increase of freight 
and passenger rates it declares that possi¬ 
bility is not taken into consideration. 
The workingmen’s compensation act of 
1911 was declared unconstitutional Nov. 
11 by Judge Creighton at Springfield, Ill., 
in an opinion handed down in the case of 
Joseph Katcher against the Chicago, Wil¬ 
mington and Vermillion Coal Company. 
The court held that the act was not 
passed in a constitutional manner. 
Six officers and prominent members of 
the local union that has been leading the 
strike of the mail wagon chauffeurs were 
arrested Nov 12 by deputy United States 
marshals, among whom were members of 
the local itself. The charge, which was 
made by a post office inspector, is con¬ 
spiracy to obstruct the movement and 
operation of the United States mail. Con¬ 
viction carries with it a fine as high as 
$10,000 and imprisonment for two years. 
The union members who acted as dep¬ 
uty United States marshals did so, they 
asserted, because the present strike was 
entirely unauthorized, because they are 
opposed to it and because they are pre¬ 
vented from working by intimidation. 
The charge upon which the warrants 
were issued by United States Commis¬ 
sioner Shields are sensational. It is al¬ 
leged that not only was there a con¬ 
spiracy to prevent the passing of mail 
transfer automobiles through the streets 
but also that dynamite was exhibited at 
strike headquarters which, it was as¬ 
serted. would be used to blow up wagons, 
the garage of the company that has the 
mail delivery contract and to kill Joseph 
Cassidy, vice-president of the company. 
Argument was begun at Jefferson City, 
Mo., Nov. 12, in the suits brought by the 
State under the anti-trust statutes 
against the Armour, Swift, Morris and 
Hammond packing companies and the St. 
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Com¬ 
pany. The State seeks to oust the com¬ 
panies from Missouri. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The French 
steamship Carol I. arrived at Galveston 
Nov. 9, bringing 192,000 bushels of corn 
from Buenos Ayres, consigned to-an eleva¬ 
tor company located at Wichita Falls. 
This is the first corn imported into the 
United States under the new tariff and 
is the forerunner of heavy shipments. A 
second cargo is due here November 23 
from the same port. Officers of the Carol 
I. state that several vessels had been 
chartered to bring grain from Argentina 
to the United States. 
Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the Na¬ 
tional Housewives League, announced 
Nov. 9 that the league is preparing to 
inform consumers that there is heavy 
speculation in cold storage eggs and that 
the price at present-is fictitious. The 
campaign for cheaper eggs will be carried 
on with vigor, she said, and she is con¬ 
fident that it will result in the estab¬ 
lishment of 30 cents as the price which 
the league members will pay for storage 
eggs. Mrs. Heath has sent letters to 
league leaders in Kansas City. Charles¬ 
ton, S. C.; Detroit, Mich.; Portland, Me., 
and other points asking them^ to wire the 
league headquarters, .175 West Eighty- 
eighth street, the price of cold storage- 
eggs in their localities. When the reports 
are received they will be made public, 
and Mrs. Heath is satisfied they will be 
a convincing argument that there is no 
reason why the present high prices in 
New York and vicinity should be main¬ 
tained. 
Prominent North and South Carolin¬ 
ians notified the Department of Justice 
Nov. 11 that a trust exists among the 
peanut buyers of Smithfield and Norfolk, 
Va., and charged that these men have 
forced the purchasing price of goobers 
bought of farmers down from $1.05 to 
$1.15 a bushel and that they made 20 per 
cent profit last year. The Department 
will investigate. 
S. S. Graybill, Kansas State Sanitary 
Livestock Commissioner, has arranged 
that a test case of the State law provid¬ 
ing for the payment of county indemni¬ 
ties for animals killed by order of his 
department on account of infectious dis¬ 
eases, may be tried in Cloud County. Re¬ 
cently he ordered about 30 head of valu¬ 
able dairy cows killed on account of 
tuberculosis. As these animals had be¬ 
come diseased outside the State, where 
they were bought, the county liability un¬ 
der the law for the payment of indem¬ 
nities is doubtful. After consulting the 
attorney general Mr. Graybill ordered 
payment made by Cloud County, in order 
that a court decision may be obtained. 
The Livestock Commissioner believes this 
will be the best way to pave the way for 
an amendment to the State law to pro¬ 
vide for indemnification of unfortunate 
owners. Graybill is pushing federal in¬ 
vestigation for the punishment of the 
men in Indiana who sold the diseased 
cattle.

Oalverton, N. Y. s. w. 
Fine weather for farmers to get the 
Fall work done. Apples are only about 
one-fourth of a crop. Evaporators will 
close up in a few days. Barreled apples 
about $2; evaporator $10 per ton; wheat 
90 to 95; buckwheat $1.80 per cwt. Corn 
crop almost a failure; what little their 
is, is growing in the stalks, none for 
sale. Eggs 45 cents per dozen for white, 
brown 35; butter 35; live hogs 7 V 2 to 
eight cents; lambs six cents. Hay $13 
to $15 per ton. Owing to good rains and 
no frost to hurt, grass and wheat are 
looking fine. About as much wheat sown 
as usual. J. w. c. 
Cayuga Co., N. Y. 
A recent letter from Pennsylvania 
gives a report on apples from our State, 
which is so poor and discouraging that 
I am prompted to make a report from 
here, which is better. I have been in 
some of the apple orchards near Gettys¬ 
burg, Pa., the great apple belt of the 
State. In this section they expect 100,- 
000 barrels, I was told. These apples 
arc grown under the best of care. Pro¬ 
per cultivation and feed is given, and 
proper attention to spraying at the right 
time. Trees are in excellent condition. 
These apples were sold by the carload 
at from $3.25 to $4.50 per barrel on the 
track. These growers are enthusiastic 
and increasing their plantings. My own 
orchard in an adjoining county 40 miles 
away produced 500 bushels and sold at 
75 cents to $1 per bushel on local mar¬ 
ket. Scale is less than for a number of 
years. Very little scale is seen on the 
fruit from sprayed orchards at least.
