All Very Well for Kansas.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Secretary Rusk
has received report from the agricultural
experiment station of southwest Kansas,
announcing that it has been demonstrated
that the arid lands o. the west can be made
productive without the aid of irrigation.
Experiments ave proven that desert land
unirrigated will produce plentiful supplies
of grasses and forage plants, including
sorghum, and it is believed that wheat,
corn and potatoes will grow equally well.
The ground was pulverized to make bed
for holding the water that falls in rain;
the planted surface wasIcovered after SOW
ing of the first crop with matted straw, to
keep the loan from blowing away, and
with it the seed. Subsequent crops will
require no straw, for the reason that the
matted roots will keep!the dry earth from
b5iag oi0g4 away with high winds

A Sixteen Year-Old Son Perjurs Himself and
Damns His Mother.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New York, Dec. 5--William McCabe,
sixteen years, for a horse, wagon and a
new suit of clothes has blasted the charac-
ter of his own mother. In FEBRUARY, 1888,
James W. McCabe lived at No. 81 Rapilica
street. He brought suit against his wife
Martha. He names as correspondent his
cousin John McCabe. In court Mrs. Nc
Cabe pleaded piteously that she was limo
cent. They were married in England in
1S4S, and came to America few years
later. The wife said that she had borne
her husband seven children and had always
been loving and kind; she had often been
beaten by her husband, driven out in the
snow by him, but still she chung to him
The poor woman's appeal had a strong eff
feet upon the court. Then his father had
his son William brought in as a witness.
The mother had no fear and warmly greeted
her son. In moment she was horror
stricken by the boy swearing against her.
The mother listened appalled,; the court
looked surprised, but the boy told his story
unblushingly. This decided the case and
divorce was granted the husband. Since
then the boy has been victim of remorse.
He has lost his health, his former spirits
and gayety have left him and unable to
bear the strain any longer he went to his
mothers lawyer and made affidavit that he
had sworn falsely against his mother. His
story is most remarkable. 1t was pre-
sented before Judge Osborne in the city
court of Brooklyn Tuesday. The boy says
that his father was determined to get rid
of his wife, and to accomplish his purpose
his father offered him a suit of clothes and
a horse and wagon if he would testify
against his mother. The father also threat
ened to kill him if he did not so swear.

Coughlin was, given by his brother police
man, Hynes said it was strange they
should have kept the knowledge to them
selves till they came upon the witness
stand. Regarding the man Smith, who
drove white horse, Coughlin not only
allowed him to get away but deliberately
gave false description of him to Captain
Setback. If Smith were innocent he would
come forward and tell the truth and vim
dictate Coughlin.
In reviewing the circumstantial evidence
against Kunze, Haynes stated the belief
OF the prosecution regarding that prisoner.
He is thought to have guilty knowlt dge of
the conspiracy but to have taken no active
part in the tragedy.
Hynes discussed the question of the as
sociation of Coughlin and Kunze and
O'Sullivan, Beggs and Burke as matters
lending probability to their connection in
the conspiracy. Referring to the lonely
situation of the Carlson cottage he said
that to connect anyone with entering it
within a week after the murder, either
before after, was to connect him with the
crime. Concerning the knives found on
Coughlin, Hynes expressed the opinion
that Coughlin did not suppose he would be
arrested; that his pocket was safe place
to hind them in. There was, he said, only
one chance in million that any man
would be found carrying two knives
like those of Cronin's. Hynes then took
up the alibi of Burke and at length dis
sected the evidence of the saloonkeeper
who testified in that regard, drawing the
conclusion that it was inconsistent and In
sufficient. Referring to the row in Camp 20
Hynes said they said: ''They were ready
to accept the testimony of an English spy
HeCaron) who had. been a spy for years,
and ready to accept the statement that
there were spies and that DIR. Cronin was
one of them, according to Dan Coughlin."
Hynes insisted that the proof showed the
appointment of secret committee and
''the surroundings" he said, "shows it
was appointed for illegal purposes" He
proceeded to argue that the fact of the con-
spiracy and murder showed the truth of
Cronin's charges against the Triangle.
