Indiana Experiment Stations The
Increased interest in the sugar beet
question has brought 10 the expert
ment station an unusually large mum
Der of samples OF sugar beets from all
sections OF the state. Some OF the
beets were raised from seed furnished
by the station and some from seed OBJ
tanned from other sources. In the case
OF the seed sent out from the stations
full working directions were furnlsheu.
In most cases these directions were not
followed. although those who requested
free seed agreed 10 fully follow WORK
ing directions. The most essentiai
preliminary 10 raising good sugar beets
Is the proper preparation OF the SEED

a depth Of al least is inches. The best
way TO accomplish this Ia 10 turn FUR
row about eight inches deep with
common plow and follow with q sub
soil pillow In the bottom Of the fufrow.
Very few farmers who tried raising
beets. report that they used a saosoil
piow or any other implement for sur

eight inches. The result u this - sesh

pany asked for a new trial, which the lower court refused to grant and from which an appeal was taken. The Supreme Court in reversing the action of the trial court and granting the defendant a new trial did so on the fine point of what con- stitutes 'compensatory" from "exem- plary'' damages.
 After general review of the case, the court quotes a portion of the Judges charge and also a portion of that asked by the defendants attorney but which was refused by the trial court. That DOT ton of the Judges charge which the upper court comments on Is as follows: linen I charge you, your verdict will be in favor of plaintiff for such damages as under all the circumstances of the case disclosed by the evidence appear to be just, not exceeding the sum of $5000, the sum demanded in the complaint" To this the defendants attorney asked that the following be also given to the jury, but the Judge decined ''I charge you that in cases of this kind the plaintiff can re- cover only the actual damages suffered by him. unless the master authorized the commission of the act complained of or participated therein, or ratified 1t after it's commission"
 For this refusal the Supreme Court re- versed the verdict and granted @ new trial holding that compensatory damages in a case of this kind should prevail in- stead of exemplary damages, as were given by the jury.
 the decision showed that it was the cap tain himself who placed the irons on the hov's wrists and who ordered him ashore at Antioch at o'clock in the morning without a cent in his pockets or a friend to appeal to.

 Billy Otts, the clever and stiff-punching lightweight of the Excelsior Athletic Club. who earned a decision over Gran field of the Frisco Athletic Club some weeks ago. will fight Jack Ennis of the latter club eight rounds for a decision before the Jefferson Athletic Club on Tuesday evening next. The bout should be extremely interesting, as Ennis will trv to win back the laurelS lost by Gram field The latter's friends claimed that he was done out of d decision, and since then there has been bitter rivalry be- tween both organizations.

Found Living Under an Assumed Name and Arrested on Three
 Charges of Embezzlement.

Henry Blume, manager for J. l.. Yer meil & Son, Union-square Market, was arrested yesterday afternoon by c. J. Duncan of Morse's Detective Agency and turned over to the police. He was booked at the City Prison on three charges of felony embezzlement, the complaints hay ing been sworn to before Judge Conlan yesterday In the complaints hume Is charged with embedding s114 90. $139 and $190
 Blume refused to say anything and the firm was equally uncommunicative, but Captain Callundan of Morse's Agency is authority for the statement that these amounts do not represent the full extent of the defalcations.
 A few days ago Blume left the office to go home on the pretext that he was sick. He did not return and as the cashbook could not be found it was suspected that something was wrong. The case was put in the hands of Morse's Agency, and every effort was made to find Blume and recover the missing cashbook. Yesterday Blume was traced to the Baldwin Hotel, where he had been living under the name of T. B. Wells. The cashbook has not been found, and Blume refuses to say that he knows anything about it. It is sup posed that he has destroyed 1t to cover up his defalcationS

CUT RATES TO APPLY
 BY WAY OF OGDEN
RIO GRANDE AND UNION PA
 CIFIC GAIN THEIR POINT.
Southern Pacific Will Sell Second Class Tickets on the Rebate
 Plan After June 9.

The Southern Pacific Company yester- day definitely announced that the same reductions in second-class rates via Mo- JaYe, Fl Paso and New Orleans which arc to go into effect on Sunday. June i will also apply via Ogden on Wednesday Juna S 1hey give as reason for not putting the rates III eifect on the earlier date be- cause the Interstate Commerce Commits sioners must receive three days notice when rates are reduced, and as there arc other minor details to be attended In therefore the rates via Ogden will annIy on the 9th. This is the culminatiop of extraordinary efforts on the part of Inc Unlon Pacific and the Rio Grande and Western to persuade the Southern Pacific to fall in line with the reductions first mt into effect some months ago by the Cana dian Pacific and followed later by the pany, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, who book their passengers via Portland. The Southern Pacific CompanV was slow to yield to the demands of the lines out or Ogden, but it has finally con sented, and the result will be that the major part Of the Second-class travel will take the more direct route via Ogden at the reduced rates. Tickets will be sold at present rates on the rebate plan: Kan sas City $40, rebate s9; Boston $67 80, re- bate S25 25; New York, $66 50 rebate s23 95: St Louis $4T 50 rebate $10 50; Chicago $52 50 rebate $20.
 IL believed that the SOuth- ern Pacific Company decided to put the rates in effect via Ogden only after it was agreed by the other lines to allow the division demanded by the Southern Pacific Company as its share of the haul>to Og- den. On points east of the Missouri River the local company will receive SI1 SO. and to the Missouri River 1t will get the regular 46 per cent of the rate
 For instance, the rate to Kansas Citv is S31, and the Southern Pacific Company receiving 46 per cent vii make it's divisinn $14 26. This will leave but SIS "A to divide between the lines out of Ogden and their connections.
 The Rio Grande brought all of it's ner- suasive, powers to bear. and the Union Pacific kept the wires hot in an endeavor to induce the Southern Pacific Companv to receede from a position which it was claimed was an unjust one; but the local officials were memorable, and the south ern Pacific, being the initial line, had the advantage, and the rates went into effect only after its demands had been complied with in every particular: As one dis gruntled official expressed it. they have entered into conflict with their friendly Eastern connections
