HARTFORD, Conn, March 1.-Presi-
dent j. c. Patterson, of the Travellers
Insurance company, was interviewed
today regarding the Wisconsin supreme
court decision in a case in which the
Travellers company is interested, and
said in substance:
1--WE have been Informally notified by
our attorneys Of the purport Of the de-
cision. and / understand that the text
of the decision is on the way to Hart
ford.
eve cannot tell until we have eX-
amined the decision what plan we shall
adopt, further than to state that we
shall appeal to the supreme court Of
the United States if there is any ground
for such an appeal. In other words,
if there is a federal question which
can be raised we shall raise it and
take it to the highest court in the land.
'We do not consider the decision a
just one. If any insurance commits
sioner can go back and undo the work
Of his predecessors for twenty five
years. this decision may be all right.
But we do not believe the law will up
hold such a course"

1T ALLEVIATES DROUGHT.
Frequent Cultivation In Dry Wealth
err an Aid to Growing
CrOns


The agricultural committee of the
board of regents of the state university
held meeting yesterday morning at
the state university.
w. q. Smith, who has been in charge
or the Coteau experiment station in the
southern part of the state for some
time past. appeared before the commit
tee and explained some interesting eX-
periments which he has had under
way at his station during the winter.
Mr.. Smith spent several weeks in
Washington last fall While there he
secured from the department of agri-
culture an electrical apparatus for
testing the moisture of the soil several
feet below the surface Of the ground.
While making experiments along this
line he made a valuable discovery,
which he explained to the regents yes
terday.
He found that when the soil on the
surface was turned it had a tendency
to bring the moisture to the surface
and thus Succor the roots of the vege-
ia bile life. If the soil was kept turned
during a drought ever so often, Mr..
Smith claims that it would partly elm
mate the hardship of the drought, if
it were not too severe and long of dura-
ton.
This is a most important discovery
to the farmers of the state, and one
which will prove invaluable. Mr. Smith
claims it is the first experiment of its
kind ever tried by either the agricul-
tural department or the state school
Mr. Smiths arguments in support of
his theory yesterday seemed quite con-
elusive. He stated that in all cases
with his experiments he had secured
the same results. When the soil was in
a loose and friable condition the pro-
cess of evaporation was more pronounc-
ed, and hence the moisture was drawn
up from the earth.
Further experiments along this line
will be made at the agricultural school
this spring.

ton of the trial of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies for the shooting of the strikers at
Lattimer, Sheriff Martins cross examination
was resumed by counsel TO-: the prosecu.
ton. E-.t
The main point established was that the
witness denied making the remark after
the shooting that he had merely taken a
hand " in the matter as plain James Martin
and not as the cheriff of Luzerne county,
The defense endeavored to have the sheriff
testify that he was unable to suppress The
riot and disorder that existed in the Halle
ton region, and that the civil authorities
were unable to cope with it, and had tele-
graphed to the governor of Pennsylvania
for aid, and that consequently the governor
ordered out the state militia, on the night Of
Sept. 10. The commonwealth objected to
this line of testimony, and Judge Woodward
sustained the objection.

Papers Scattered Along Track.
Martin N. Irving. of 81 Fifth street
northeast. Minneapolis. met a horrible
death beneath the wheels of a North
ern Pacific freight train. a mile east of
Watab, Mimi, Tuesday night. A tele-
gram to The G o b e last night an
nounced the finding of the mangled re-
mains yesterday. The body was literal
ly ground to pieces, and pieces were
scattered along the track for forty
rods. Coroner Bell. of Sank Rapids,
viewed the remains. but will hold no
inquest
The identity of the man was learn
ed from papers on his person. 1t was
learned last night that Irving lived
at the above number. In company
with Frank Boyce, of GIG Main street
northeast. he left Minneapolis at 5
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, saying he
was going to Seattle. Boyce returned
home yesterday with the dreadful
news. He states that he and his COM
panion were riding on the bumpers.
and in some manner Irving missed his
hold and fell under the wheels. The
Fair had left suddenly, simply telling
their relatives they were going to Sc
attic.
The accident is particularly pathetic.
This is the third violent death in the
family. The dead mans aged mother
is lying very i'll, and it was deemed
best not to break the sad news to her
last night.
Irving was a single man, twenty-sev-
en- years of age. He was we'll known
in Northeast Minneapolis. where the
family is well connected. A brother
Thomas Irving. is a member of the fire
department. being stationed at Engine
House No. II. For time Martin Irving
was employed as a substitute in the
department. Besides his mother and
brother, there are two sisters to mourn
the sad fatality.
The remains will be taken to Min
neapOliS today.
Following were the kilograms receiv-
ed:

and under the wheels. His body was literally
cut to pieces, the largest piece found being
an arm and strewn along the track for two
miles. Nothing could be found which would
aid much in identifying the man. A couple
of small memorandum books and card with
the name of William Hite were found on the
track The remains will be buried In the
