A Maryland paper says: In the
future the farmers and truckers of
Kent county, Del, will meet to dis
cuss the coming tomato season. Ow-
ing to the recent canuery failures
many of the growers will either discon-
tinue theraising of tomatoes or will re-
quire payments to be made each day
as the tomatoes are delivered at the
factories, so many of the farmers hav-
ing lost heavily through the credit
plan. The Gamers claim they can
offer but S. ton for tomatoes this year
consequently, as yet, bat few contracts
have been signed, as the growers can
make nothing out of tomatoes at that
price.

Impossible to Determine the Manner Of
Death Of Colonel and Mrs. Bull.
Parsons, Kas., Dec. 21-Excitement
over the finding Thursday of the bodies
OF Col. John e. Bull and his wife, Carrie
Bull at their home here continues with
no apparent hope OF solution Of the
mystery.
Owing to the decomposed condition Of
the bodies physicians have been unable
to make satisfactory examination and
their opinions differ widely as to the
cause Of their death. A theory advanced
is that death was caused by asphyxia-
ton from natural gas, with which the
house was lighted and heated. but this
does not seem to be carried out An
other theory that has gained some
credence is that the couple had quar-
relied over a real estate deal and that
Bull had murdered his wife and then
committed suicide. Colonel Bull sold
her home a month ago and it is said
Mrs. Bull refused to sign the deeds at
first, only finally doing SO after much
protest. Bull was dressed when found
and his wife had not yet removed all of
her clothing. The coroner's inquest was
held yesterday. A. w. Bull. of Piqua,
o., brother OF the dead man, wired
that he in en- route to Parsons to take
charge of Col Bulls affairs and to solve

said Signor Prinetti that the govern

clare itself unable to fulfill it's engage

tional treaties To this representation
the American government had not re-
piled in writing, but it had admitted
that the Italian claims were well found
ed and had promised carefully to con-
slider the question.
Minister Prinetti said that he agreed
with Baron Fava in his expressed opin-
ion that an indemnity for the lives OF
Italians who had been lynched should
not be refused, but that he considered

Italy should insure her subjects abroad

in which her sons had met with open

DISCUSS AMERICAN LYNcHlNes
Roman Senate Takes Up the Subject
of a Protest

Rome, Dec. 21.-In the senate yester-
day Baron Fava. formerly italian am
ba ssadpr at Washington, raised the
question of lynching in the United
States In which there had been rep
etttlon OF grave events. he said, and
where the guilty persons had not been
discovered. BARON Fava referred to the
suggestion Of the late President Mckin-
ley after the lynching at Erwin, Miss,
respecting legislation for the protection
of foreigners. and he alluded fee.ingly
to the high esteem in which the late
President Mckinley and the late King
Humbert. both victims Of assassins.
were held by their respective country
men.
Replying to Baron Fava, Signor Prin-
etti, minister OF foreign affairs. de-
clared that neither the Italian govern
ment for Italian diplomatists were
guilty OF any negligence in their efforts
to secure the triumph OF justice, but
owing to the reticence of witnesses 1t
had been impossible to identify the cul-
prits, and the grand jury had declared,
according to the usual formula, that
the lynohing in question had occurred
by the will Of God" This statement
from Signor Prinetu caused sensa-
ton.
Continuing the foreign minister said
that the Italian government would con-

Marconi Hopes to Reduce Present Rate
Of 25 Gents to 4 Cent,

Of IS Cents to I Cent.
ST. Johns, N. F., Dec. 20.-At lunch
con given by Governor Boyle Of New
foundland to Mr.. Marconi the inventor
Of the wireless telegraph said that he
felt confident that his system when
perfected would make 1t possible to send
to Europe for cent word, whereas
the existing cable lines now charge rs
cents a word.
This prophecy of Mr.. Marconi's was
made in response to a speech by the
governor in which the young inventor
achievements and especially his recent
experiments.
Mr. Marconi thanked Governor Boyle
for the many kindnesses which had been
shown him and for his fattering re-
marks. After referring to the important
factor in the progress OF civilization
which lies in facility of communica-
ton between different countries. Mr..
Marconi said:
III my system OF wireless telegraphy
can be commercially established be-
tween different parts of the earth the
possibility Of which, may state, have
not the slightest doubt, 1t would bring
about an enormous cheapening Of the
methods Of communication at present
existing. The system OF submarine ca
bles of today fulfills the demands of
communication to a great extent. But
the great cost Of the cables themselves
and their heavy working expenses cause
the existing method to be beyond the
reach of q majority Of people inhabitins
the various countries of the world.
But could this new method be ap-
piled, believe thes cost Of what we now
call cabling to England might be re-
duced at least twenty-fold. The pres
ent rates are Is cents word. do not
see why. eventually, with the wireless
spstem, this cost should not be reduced
to / cent word or less"
Observing that he was half British
err by birth, Mr.. Marconi continued:
with regard to the British empire,
the wireless system has a quite special
Importance, as facilitating the methods
OF communication between the mother
country and her great colonies beyond
the seas, and it cannot but result IN still
more firmly cementing the bond OF I'M
fly and a common cause in the interest
of civilization, of which the empire has,
during the anxious times OF the last
two or three years, given such a splen-
did example to the world. This colony
Of Newfoundland Is the first in which
message was received by cable from
across the ocean, and l am glad TO say
it has equally heen the first to receive
a message across this same ocean With

STEVENSON RECEIVED 5000.
All Dowi.'. Brother in-Iaw Had Lei,

All Dowie's Brother law Had Lelt
After Turning Over Lace Business.
Chicago, Dec 21.-"Dr." John Alexan-
DER Dowie talked to his hearts content
yesterday in defending the suit against
him for a receivership for his Zon lace
industries He intinated to Attorney
Reeves, who was cross-examining him
that he liked to talk and he was grant
ed the permission to lay bare his heart
.Dowie" was the main topic Of his
story and with much show OF higher ed
ucation, Latin quotations and attempts
at witticisns he brought smiles and
merriment to his many followers who
thronged the court room until they had
to be quieted by one Of nis deacons. In
substance, the declared with much en-
phasis that he was no tyrant surround
ed by hordes OF willing slaves. Later he
explained how he worked for the good
OF his community. sometimes as much
as twenty-seven hours at stretch. He
said he abhored slaves and would allow
none to work for him who did not come
to him voluntarily. He gave Steven
sons testimony fiat denial and said
that his brother-in-law lied when he
quoted Dowie's sister as saying. Thank
God, we are free from that tyrarnical
rule now"
Admission was drawn out that Dowie
had paid Stevenson $4,000 on account,
but that $4,000 Of this was at once
turned over to Dowie's sister, Mrs.
Stevenson, who at once gave It to
Dowie. 1t IL said, for stock in the lace
industries
Thirty thousand dollars was also CIV
en- to Frank Woodward, but Dowie in
sisted that was for debts Stevenson had
contracted. The attorney then drew
from Dowie that after parting with his
entire business, including lace ma
chinery, patterns and stock. Stevenson
got out Of the bargain only $1,000. Then
Attorney Reeves tried to show that the
entire liabilities of the Zion lace Indus
tries were S116s,000, including stock
dividends, etc. but Dowie said the con-
lecture was foolish. The direct question
was then put to Dowie whether lie be-
lieved that he was Elijah. the prophet,
to which re replied that he was willing
to express his views. but that they
were already on record.
