FAVORABLE TO WHEAT
The Plant Well Rooted and Growing
Vigorously.

Washington JAN 3.-The climate and
crop bulletins for December issued today
says:
The weather conditions during the
month of December have been generally
favorable for winter wheat, reports from
a majority of States indicating that the
plant is well rooted, has made vigorous
growth and is in most promising condi-
ton at the close of the month, except
i'll Michigan and portions Of Ohio, the
late seeding in the first named States not
having stooled satisfactorily, while in the
latter, State the plant is small and weak
and in poor condition for the winter.
The severe weather Of the last decade
may cause some damage to fields mpro-
tected by snow, more particularly in por-
tions of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, while alternating
freezing and thawing was ullfavorabe
for the crop in West Virginia and Mis-
souri,. Wheat is in excellent condition
in the Pacific coast States. Reports of
injury to the early-sown wheat by Hes
sian fly are quite general, although. with
the exception of Michigan, PENNSYLVANIA
and Tennessee. the damage so far APP
pears to be inconsiderable.

COMMITTEE TO
HEAR CONTESTS
Members Will be Drawn by
Lot Today.
EVIDENCE WILL BE HOT
TAYLOR WILL MAKE SENSATION
AL COUNTER CHARGES.
WHALLEN ARRAIGNED FOR BRIBERY
He is Held Over to the Grand Jury Under q
Bond of $40, 900. Box Containing the
Brbe Ordered Produced
in Court

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3.-The joint
committee which will hear evidence IN
the Goebel-Taylor and Beckham- Mar
shall contests for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor, will be formed tomor-
row. The law provides that the mem
bers of the committee shall be drawn
by lot. three in the Senate and eight
in the House The policy of the GoebeI
leaders will be to push the contests to a
final issue as speedily as possible.
Governor Taylor's attorneys are pre-
pairing not only rebuttal evidence to off
set the charges of fraud set forth in
GOebel's notice of contest, but accord
ing TO Senator DeBoe are going much
further and attempting to show up coun-
ter-frauds of a glaring nature Oh the
Democratic side. The Senator says that,
among other things, it will be brought
out that Taylor was robbed of over 1000
votes in kenton county. GOebel's home.
The Goebel side. under the Kentucky
code of practice, i'll its taking of proor
is restricted to the grounds laid down
in the notices of contest, but under these
they promise very sensational testimony
regarding the election i'll many counties
alleged to he damaging To many people
prominent in the Kentucky political and
business wcrld. compared with which the
Whallcn alleged attempted bribery or
Senator Harrell is only a sample.
Colonel Whallen was arraigned on the
attempted bribery charge before Magis-
trate Thompson today and held over to
the Franklin county grand jury, his
bond being fixed at $4,000. In the cir
cult court. President II. V. Loving OF
the louisville Trust Company. was be-
fore Judge Cantrill. charged with con-
tempt for disobeying the order of the
court to turn over the vault box alleged
to hold the $1,000. which it is claimed
was to be paid to Harrell in the event
he voted against Goebel III the contest.
Loving stated that he merely desired
to protect the customers of his company
and his attorney moved to quash the
summons against him. This, the court
overruled. Thereupon response was
filed to the rule for contempt and in
this. il is stated, that .Whallen. Harrell
and Charles Ryan rented the box in
question and deposited something in it,
the box being sealed UP and covered
over with white paper. The trust com
pany officials were notified not to allow
the box opened except in the presence of
and by the consent of all three parties.
Judge Cantrill adjudged the response
insufficient and ordered the box to be
produced in court ut II o'clock tomol-
row. 1t is understood the order of the
court Will be complied with, motion
for an appeal to the Court OF Appeals
having been Overruled.
1t is said that an attempt will be
made to have Senator Harrell indicted
i'll Louisville where Whallen's attorneys
claim the prosecution should have been
instituted if any offense has been com
mitted. The charge against Harreli
would probably be conspiracy or accept
ing bribe.
