Tn @ Canal Must be Built.

Washington, March 28.-The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
has under consideration bill looking
to the reorganization of the Nicaragua
Canal Company, and the friends of
the enterprise in the Senate are very
hopeful of securing a favorably report
at an early day. The subcommittee
to consider the details of the question
and prepare bill sumitted their re-
port to the full committee to-day, re-
commencing the adoption of Senator
Morgan's bill, with some amendments.
This bill provides for the reorganization
of the canal company, with a capital
stock of million shares at $1OO each;
for the issuance of bonds, payment of
which will be guaranteed by the Ma
tional Treasury, and for the cancella-
ton of the stock of the old company,
and prescribes the method of procedure
under the reorganization act.
It is not supposed the bill will go
through the committee without opposi-
ton. However,it is thought there will
be majority for the bill in commit
tee, and without doubt the bill will go
on the calendar with a favorable report.
Friends of the bill assert the scheme
for building the canal across the is
thmus under the auspices of the Uni
ted States has made material progress
in the public estimation within the
past few years, and attention called to
the fact that the President has chang
ed from an attitude of hostility, which
he occupied nine years ago, to one of
open advocacy, and that the Legisla-
lures Of various States and Chambers
of Commerce of several large cities
have memorialized Congress in the in
terest of the enterprise, advocating the
building of the canal by the Govern
ment or with its support. 1t is also
asserted that the House committee,
which originally opposed the measure,
has changed in sentiment and is now
in a fair way to report a bill similar
to the Morgan bill.

her delegation of wage-earning women
from New England, to ask for hear

who received her courteously, but de-
clined, on behalf of the committee, to
give the delegation hearing.
After receiving Chairman Voorhees,
refusal, Mrs. Foster sought out the
Republican members of the committee

Strange Cause of Failure.

A firm in Cedar Rapids doing a
fruit and egg business has made an
assignment. The cause of the failure
was rather unusual. Almost hun
dred carloads of eggs were stored in
one room and large number of lem
ons in the other. Between the rooms
was an iron pal titlon, but the flavor
of the lemons nevertheless, carried
through and contaminated the eggs
amounting to about 100000, and the
firm was forced to suspend.

How the Rich Evade Taxation.

Mr.. Stead's book on Chicago makes
some surprising revelations as to tax
dodging by rich men in that city.
The total assessment of personal prop
erty of eight of the wealthiest men
in Chicago is given as follows: Mar
shall Field, 800, 900; Marshall Field,
Jr., So, 200; P. D. Armour, $1,000;
George M. Pullman, $12, 200; J. w.
Doane, $4,000; HI. I'll. Kohlsaat,
ST, 800; G. T. Yerkes, 50, 900; Potter
Palmer, $15, 900. The tax laws of
Illinois are relics of past century.
No man swears to his assessment.
The assessors do that, and it is COM
monty charged that they are bribed
by rich men to return low assess
ments.

Gigantic Railway Deal.

Cincinnati, March 20. - Trust
worthy news has been received here
from New York of one of the most
gigantic deals in the history of Amer
lean railroads. 1t is nothing less than
the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas
Pacific. This is the deal that was
consummated in New York Satur-
day.
This is the greatest North and South
combination ever made in the United
States and links the Missouri river,
Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake
Erie, the Kanawha region of West
Virginia on the north with Meridian,
Shreveport, New Orleans, Jackson
vile, Atlanta, Birmingham, Knox
vile, and Chattanooga on the south.
This system has two local points, the

are: To Chattanooga, 336 miles; to
Meridian, 63; New Orleans, 1913,

from Cincinnati and one through
Louisville, as we'll as the Bee line.

TWO FRUIT PESTS
Sulphur Suggested as an
ExterminatOr.
Rev. MIR. Perkins Explains His Dry
Air Process for Fruit Conserva-
ton New Varieties.

At The regular monthly meeting OF the State
Horticultural Society yesterday Alexander
Craw, quarantine Offic OF the State Board OF
Horticulture, read paper on yellow Mite and
Red Spider" He claimed that these pests eau
be killed by sulphur blown INFO the tree while
the leaves are covered with moisture. Or
cbards can be treated with a broadcast seed
sower mounted on wagon, which will throw
the sulphur over three or four rows Of trees at
one time discussion followed the reading
of the paper.
Rev. Alfred T. Perkins OF Alameda explained
to the meeting the workings of his dTy-air pro-
cess as applied 10 the conservation OF fruit in
transit. the details of which were published ex-
clusively in THE CALL of recent date. He pre-
sented sectional drawing showing how the
air-chamber is attached TO the car and how the
compressed air is circulated throughout the in
terror OF the car.
Mr.. Perkins answered numerous inquiries,
and there was general expression of approval
of The theory aud its application to fruitcar.
Mr.. Perkins stated that he had given years OF
his life and all of his spare mouey TO the inven-
tion and had refused all offers for the sale OF
the patent.
A l. Hatch advised the fruit-growers pres
demonstrations of the utility of the Invention.
Professor G. Ii. Allen made report on new
fruits and their marketing" He detailed last
years experience in The Chicago markets with
the Burbank, Simon, Kelsey, Clyman, Royal
Havtive, MIKado and Satsuma plums and
silver prunes. His deduction was that fruit
must be attractive The eye in order o COM
mand ready sale and high prices. Dealers as
a rule know little of the character OF the fruit
which they sell, aud the consumers still less.
For that reason The SaIsuma plum, which has
fine flesh but a homely skin, proved unprDf-
liable.
The merit Of the discussion which followed
was that new varieties were not nearly so i'm
portanJ as good average quality of we'll
known species.
Topics selected for next months meeting are
"HOw TO find work for The twenty million I'M
employed who. II earning wages, would con-
Hatch; Fruit culture as an avenue for the
employment of capital as compared with Othe r
industries" 10 be opened by I. Ii. Ramsey OF
San Mateo; The cost OF fruit production" TO
