EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Nov. 4 the President 
was the guest of honor at the Manhattan 
Club’s fiftieth anniversary dinner in New 
York. He delivered an address on Na¬ 
tional preparedness for defense, and the 
chastisement of false Americans, that 
was of marked force and significance. 
Nov. 4 the Mayor, Commissioner of 
Fire and Police, and Justice of the Muni¬ 
cipal Court of Memphis, Tenn., were 
ousted for wilful failure to enforce the 
liquor laws. 
Secretary of War Garrison issued, 
Nov. 5, an official explanation of his 
army reorganization plan, which provides 
for raising within six years a trained 
force of more than 1,000,000 men, and 
for an adequate reserve of munitions and 
supplies. The Secretary admits that the 
scheme is not all that could be desired 
•from a technical and military standpoint, 
but he defends it on the ground that it is 
all that can be done in view of “existing 
constitutional and legal provisions, ex¬ 
isting institutions, and the sentiments of 
the people.” The continental, or citizen 
army, as Secretary Garrison prefers to 
call it, is devised because the militia is 
not constitutionally under the direction 
of the Federal government, and cannot 
be drafted into service in time of war. 
Secretary Garrison accepts the estimates 
of army experts who believe the United 
States should have at all times a force 
of at least 500,000 trained men available 
for immediate service. 
Nov. 6 eight girls and four men were 
killed, and 50 persons hurt in a factory 
fire in Williamsburg, New York. That 
the death list was not greater was due 
entirely to the heroic work of firemen 
and police. Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. 
Diamond, owners of the building and of a 
candy company which occupied the two 
lower floors, were arrested on a charge 
of homicide. They were charged with 
failure to comply with certain regula¬ 
tions of the Labor and Health Depart¬ 
ments and the Bureau of Fire Preven¬ 
tion, which would have tended to make 
the building fireproof. 
An indictment charging conspiracy to 
destroy merchant ships carrying muni¬ 
tions to the Allies was found, Nov. 8, by 
the Federal Grand Jury in New York 
against six of the alleged plotters who 
have been rounded up by the United 
States authorities within the last three 
weeks. The wording of the indictment 
did not disclose much of the evidence 
which the prosecutor has, and was ex¬ 
ceedingly bare of details. The belief is 
that every phase of the alleged conspiracy 
is substantiated by detailed facts. Nov. 
5 two others were indicted, charged with 
receiving goods stolen from ships on 
which bombs had been planted and with 
grand larceny. Their indictment is based 
on the confession of a fellow plotter. 
Federal officers are trying to connect 
some of the earlier prisoners with the 
plots to blow up the Washington Navy 
Yard and destroy the Texas in the Brook¬ 
lyn Navy Yard. 
The Italian liner Ancona was tor¬ 
pedoed by a large submarine displaying 
Austrian colors, Nov. 9, soon after leav¬ 
ing Naples. She carried 422 passengers, 
and 60 crew; 270 survivors, some wound¬ 
ed, were landed at Bizerta on the African 
coast. This is the first passenger liner 
torpedoed since the Arabic. 
Nov. 9 one man was killed by an ex¬ 
plosion at the works of the Union Me¬ 
tallic Cartridge Co., Bridgeport, Conn. 
This was the third explosion in two 
weeks, the cause being unknown. 
The fourth fire within 22 hours which 
damaged or destroyed important units of 
big American plants engaged in the man¬ 
ufacture of munitions for the Entente 
Allies occurred at Trenton, N. J., Nov. 
11; loss about $750,000. when the new 
wire rope shop of the John A. Roebling 
Sons Company was reduced to a scrap 
heap. The Roebling fire followed close 
upon the destruction of the four-inch gun 
shop of the Bethlehem Steel Company, at 
South Bethlehem, Penn., and the burning 
of the pattern shop of the Baldwin Lo¬ 
comotive Works, at Chester, Penn., both 
Nov. 10. The third fire was in the 
Skelly Bolt Works in Philadelphia Nov. 
11 . 
FARM AND GARDEN—Two Eng¬ 
lish pheasants shot out of season cost a 
doctor of Montclair, N. J., $200 each. 
He was hunting snipe when the two birds 
were flushed. The doctor fired, not stop¬ 
ping to determine the species of the birds. 
The hunters then encountered State 
Warden Young and Deputy Warden Mit¬ 
chell, who told them they had violated 
the game laws, inasmuch as it was for¬ 
bidden to shoot pheasants except between 
November 10 and December 15 inclusive 
and a local justice imposed, the fine. 
Pleading guilty to violations of Mont¬ 
clair’s milk ordinance on eight separate 
occasions, Andrew Pansini, proprietor of 
a dairy in Montclair, N. J., was fined 
$25 for each of the offences, or a total of 
$200, in the town police court, Nov. 4. 
He was permitted to pay $25 and given 
10 days in which to make up the bal¬ 
ance. Receiving milk and cream from 
dairies, the supply from which he had 
not obtained permission to handle, and 
selling cream that was not pasteurized 
or from tested cows were the specific 
charges against Pansini. 
Eight carloads of potatoes, cabbages, 
onions, apples and other fruits and vege¬ 
tables were distributed free to the poor at 
Immanuel Baptist church, Twenty-third 
street and Michigan avenue, Chicago, 
Nov. 1-2. The gift is the work of the 
Rev. Johnstone Myers, former pastor of 
the church, done through the farmers of 
southern Michigan and northern Indiana. 
In all that rich farming section fruit and 
vegetables are rotting on the ground for 
want of a market, while in the poorer 
quarters of Chicago the people have not 
enough to eat. The food was distributed 
without regard to lines of race, creed or 
location. Cards were sent to all churches 
of every denomination, offering food to 
the poor whom the pastor might send. 
The response showed the need. 
The Virginia State Horticultural So¬ 
ciety will hold its twentieth annual meet¬ 
ing and fruit exhibit at Charlottesville, 
Virginia, January 12-13, 1916. 
t There will be a joint meeting of the 
National Potato Association and the 
Michigan State Potato Association at 
Grand Rapids, Mich. The program and 
premium list can be secured by writing 
C. AV. Waid, Secretary of the Michigan 
State Potato Association, East Lansing, 
Mich. This meeting promises to be one 
of the largest potato shows and most 
enthusiastic potato meetings ever held. 
Nov. 9 Government inspectors and dep¬ 
uty sheriffs raided the dairy farm of Mrs. 
Scott Durand, a wealthy Chicago wom¬ 
an, and destroyed a herd of valuable cat¬ 
tle said to be infected with foot-and- 
mouth disease. The Live Stock Commis¬ 
sion is said to have spurred on the raid 
because of threats by cattle traders at the 
stock yards that the Federal Grand Jury 
would be asked to indict the State Board 
for malfeasance. To the Durand herd 
has been laid the blame of the contin¬ 
ued quarantine against cattle shipments 
from Illinois. 
The Rhode Island Corn Growers’ Asso¬ 
ciation will hold a corn show at Provi¬ 
dence December 2 and 3, 1915. This 
show ought to interest any one who is 
concerned with corn growing in New 
England or anywhere else. Rhode Island 
farmers have always been noted for the 
quality of their corn. They have devel¬ 
oped one or two flint varieties which are 
remarkably useful on rough land. AVhen 
you come to consider that most of these 
tough Rhode Island people were raised 
on johnny-cake, you will realize the su¬ 
perior quality of Rhode Island corn. This 
corn show will not only show off the corn, 
but a lot of the corn growers, and will be 
a good one all through.
