President of United States to Have
Private Car-ElabOrate
Plans.

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 1.-The farm
ers are trying to form trust. 1t is tC
spread all over the land, and if the
present plans carry, not dollars
worth of farm produce of any kind will
| be sold for general consumption. In a
nutshell, the idea is for the farmers tO
limit their crops to the actual living
needs of the members of the trust.
The organization is secret, oath
bound, and its principles known just
now to only a select few outside of
those directly concerned in it's develop
ment According to the promoters,
however, the country is practically in
condition to be placed in the grip of
this remarkable combine.
An accident revealed the existence of
the farmers trust. Significantly, about
the time it was announced Kansas
man had cornered the onion market.
and registered from Johnston, Pa, put
up at the Jefferson Hotel in this city.
He turned out to be quite big man
in the new trust, being no other than
the national organizer.
Lancaster, Pa, was the birthplace Of
the trust 1t saw light there several
months ago, and was incorporated un-
der the laws of New Jersey as the Ag-
riculturists' National Protective Asso-
citation. The supreme body is made up
of one representative from each State,
whose duties are similar to those of
the board of directors of an ordinary
corporation. Each State has subor-
dinate board of directors, consisting OF
one representative from each Congress
SiOnal district. Each district in turn
is governed by a board of two members
from each county. Each county is un-
der the immediate control of board
ranging from five to eleven in num-
ber. who direct the movements of the
township organizations.
1t is the purpose to do nothing this
year in the way of controlling the
markets, because the organization is
not yet complete. Next year, however,
the crops will be limited to the actual
living needs of the members of the or
ganizatiOn.
If the plan is carried out, not a dol
lars worth of farm product of any
kind will be sold for general consump-
ton, it being the purpose to compel
the people to import all of their food
products. 1t is believed that by this
means the power of the association
can best make itself felt.

LEES PRIVATE MESSAGES.
story That Spanish Have Secure Key
to Cipher Code.


to Cipher Code
NEW YORK, April 1.-The Havana
correspondent of the Mail and Express
sends the following: On authority
which l believe to be trustworthy, it
has been learned that certain Spanish
officials here are in possession of the
key to the cipher code used in tele-
graphic communications between Con-
sui General Lee and the State Depart
ment at Washington. If this be true,
the nature of all confidential dis
patches that pass between the Govern
ment of the United States and its rep
resentatives in Cuba is known, not
only in Havana, but in Madrid, for the
home Government is kept closely in
touch with the most minute details of
Cuban affairs.
The code used in the Consular sery-
ice is complicated, and is believed TO
be absolutely secret. 1t could not, it
is said. be studied out, even If part
of it were known, so if the Spaniards
have the key they have probably OBJ
tanned ii from some one in Washing
ton. Not a word is transmitted by
wire from Havana to any point that
does not come under the eye of the
censor. excepting. of course, official dis
patches to Madrid. All commercial ca
bles are subjected TO scrutiny, and
while it is not admitted that all Of
General Lees messages are known in

WHAT THE EMPEROR SAYS.
Francis Joseph of Austria Opens
the Reichsrath

Francis Joseph of Austria Opens
the Reichsrath
VIENNA. March 29.-The new
Reichsrath was opened today by En-
peror Francis Joseph in person. The
Emperor in his address from the
throne said he believed that the action
of the powers in regard to Greece had
a tendency toward peace. He hoped
that the policy of the powers would
soon result in a satisfactory settlement
of the Cretan difficulty.
Though the powers condemned the
attitude of Greece, the Emperor said
they did not mean to encourage Tur-
key in resisting the reforms which the
should institute in the Turkish do
mains. The Porte, he declared, must
remedy the existing abuses in the
Turkish Empire and accept the rec
concentrations of the powers.
Concerning the concert of the pow
ers, the Emperor said:
Thanks to the common action OF the
powers, the dangers arising from
Greece's action in Crete have been
minimiZed, and we are now permitted
to hope that the concert of the pow
ers, despite differences of opinion on
the part of some and hesitation on the
part of others, will lead to solution
that will be eminently satisfactory. l
say this above all in regard to the Gre
tan question. upon which my Govern
ment is in accord with the powers. who
have taken measures to preserve the
territorial statu quo and to repress
tendencies and aspirations menacing
to peace"

ELEVATOR TRUST DIFFICULTIES
New Arrangements to Defeat the

Combine.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 29.-Lake yes
selmen and Western railroad mag
mates are said to be looking for the
collapse of the elevator trust. The eff
feet of the expected collapse will do
much to protect the lake route against
the Gulf ports and more southern
routes to the Atlantic. For years the
Buffalo elevator pool has been master
of the situation and steadily refused
to lower it's charges.
Early this year some Chicagoans
took a hand in the fight. Armour and
Bartlett, Frazier & Co., started 70

vator, which is now nearly completed,
and it is announced that the same
firms will build another. 1t is said that
the next move will be to enter New

Chicago for delivery at Buffalo or Erie,
it will be sold for delivery at the port
of New York. Counselman & Co. are

Each year, for the past three at least,

there was not another name submitted

We extend congratulations to all in

State of Washington Clubs.

In recent number of ''Ths Midland
Monthly" neat magazine published
at Des Moines, Iowa, We find very in
teresting sketch by Jennie Simpson
Moore. of cltbs and club women in far
away Washington. This article shows
that the women out there are not le-
hind those in the east In this organized
movement for social and intellectual
advancement. We were pleased to find
among the faces it Illustrated, two, quite
familiar ones, the originals of which We
had the pleasure of meeting while visit:
ing in the West. The first is that OF
Mrs. Alice c. Baird, the founder, as
we'll as the first and only president OF
the Book Club" at Everett. Mrs
Baird is a bright and capable woman,
one who inspires all her associates with
a determination to accomplish some
specific good for the benefit of the pup.
lie. The first great work undertaken by
this club was the establishment of 8
free library, which they accomplished
having already presented the city with
three thousand volumes. This club has
also assisted the city hospital in many
ways, and recently sent donation to
Clara Barton for the Armenian suffer
ers. and were instrumental in establish
ing free kindergartens in their city
The other name, as we'll as face, which
we readily recognized is that of Mrs
Ida Hare Conner, sister of Mrs. A. h
Smith and Mr. II. T. Hare Of this city
While visiting in Tacoma we were the
guest of this charming little lady, and
met q number of her associates in club
work. Mrs. Conner is president Of the
Nesika club, which Is one of the oldest
in the state, but which has limit to its
membership, never exceeding twenty.
This club was one of the first to cali for
state federation. The article states
that Mrs. Conner has been identified
with clubs for the past twenty years,
Ladies' Musical Club, Free kindergar-
ten Association, and has been a mem
Der Of the Board Of managers of the
Children's Home for the past seven
years and is also Daughter of the Rev
olution." The article is we'll written
and proves that the social and literary
advantages Of the west compare most
tavorably with eastern conditions.

serves credit for originality in naming
her social affairs, as the invitations

lightened when the refreshments were
served. then, and only then, was it
made known that the bananas used in
the Blanc-mangc had been grown in
Superior, in the Pattison conservatory,
and that their friends might help cele-
brate the event and enjoy the fruit, the
parties had been arranged. In the after
noon about thirty ladies' were enter
tanned, a question game furnishing con-
siderable amusement, and when re-
turns were all in it was found that Mrs
Mcnamara of Tower had won the head
prize. In the evening fully seventy We
ladies and gentlemen responded to in
vitations and PLAYED cards. Mrs. Scion
