SIX INDICTMENTS RETURNED BY JURY PostOf1ce Investigation Is Rap
 idly Nearing the End NAMES NOT MADE PUBLIC Identity of Those Indicted ls Yet a Matter of conIeoture--LeeatIon
 of 5eavers and Stern
 Very Important.
NOT MADE PUBLIC

Washington. September s.After delib- erating for several weeks over mass of documents submitted by the postoffice in- spectors the federal grand jury in this city returned seven indictments today in postal cases. involving six different per- sons.
 All the indictments were kept off the public record, and both the officials of the district attorneys office and of the post office department refused to discuss the names or details of the indictments until the parties indicted are arrested. The identity of the indicted involved was thus left matter of conjecture. It is expected that arrests will occur tomorrow morn ing. and that the postoffice department will have some announcement to make during the forenoon.
 Beginning of the End.
 The grand jury action probably marks the beginning of the end of the investiga- tions that have been in progress since the middle of March. Voluminous evi- dence has been laid before the grand jury as the result of the inquiry, and while the present report of the jury dis poses of most of the cases there yet re- main several cases to be passed upon. When the latter are disposed of, accord ing to Postmaster General Payne, the in- vestigation so far as the work at Wash ington Is concerned, will be at an end.
 Several of the persons indicted today live outside of Washington. Postmaster General Payne and Fourth Assistant Bris- tow received word of the grand jury's ac- tion shortly after that body reported. and subsequently, they had long conference on the subject Both officials refused to divulge details pending official notifca- ton of the arrests.
 Two Other Important Events.
 Two other important events occurred to- day in the postal inquiry. Leopold Stern, the Baltimore contractor, who disap- peared from Baltimore before he could be arrested on an indictment returned July 31 last, was located at Toronto. Canada, and the long delayed surrender of George w Beavers, the former head of the sal ary and allowance department, to the New York authorities took place. The pos tai officials have been searching for Stern ever since he disappeared, and fin ally received word from the Canadian au- thorities that he was in Toronto. They expected considerable yexation at the pre- mature publication of his whereabouts on account of the problem of extraditlon that now confronts the government and the possibility of his making good his escape now that the information has become pub lie in advance. of the readiness of the authorities to effect his arrest.
 Beavers surrender created no surprise for the government all along has kept advised of his whereabouts despite reports to the contrary.

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

TALKS OF MEASURES
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

J. Albert Karel of Kewaunee ftopped
over in Manitowoc on Monday. He was
enroute to attend to his legislative
duties. Mr. Karel represents Kewau-
nee in the legislature. Speaking of
the primary election and taxation meas
ures now before The assembly. Mr..
Karel said no one would venture an
opinion as to the ultimate outcome of
these bills. He does not believe the
senate is altogether favorable to the
primary election bill passed by the
house. therefore he thinks it will have
amendments tackled onto it which will
bring it up for discussion again in the
house.
He has some ideas that both houses
will adopt q scheme of ad rdlO1atm tax
alton for the railroads. That is the
dominant feeling among the members
at the present time.

Discovery Made at Madison Of
Value to Farmers
SAVE ABOUT S5,OOO,OOO ANNUALLY
A Loss on Oats of II Per Cent Has Beef
Going on
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS IN STATE
Scientists Have Been Experimenting to Say,
the Waste-FayOrable Results
Just Achieved

The Agricultural Experiment station
at Madison wishs THE PILOT to publish
the following which is of value to the
farmers:
"All Wisconsin farmers have, without
doubt, noticed smutted heads of oats in
their fields from time to time, but prob.
ably few of them realized the enormous
loss due to this fungous pest. The Ex-
pertinent station at Madison has been
carefully investigating the subject for
several years past and last season it
studied smut in oat fields in large
number of counties in the state. From
these studies it estimates that the loss
to the oat crop for the whole state
amounts to II per cent.-that is, our
farmers might have had II bushels more
of oats for every hundred that they
actually secured. The station estimates
that the total loss due to oat smut last
season was at least Eve million dollars.
% 1t was found during these visits to
farms that many oat raisers thought
they had little or no smut in their crop,
yet when it was carefully examined
losses were found ranging from five to
thirty five per cent. A perfect remedy
for oat smut is announced by the Ex-
pertinent station, which tells us that the
chemical used costs but one cent for
each bushel of seed oats treated. Our
farmer readers wishing to know in full
of the treatment for oat smut should
send a postal card to Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station, Madison, Wis, asking
for a copy of bulletin 50. which gives
full directions for treating seed oats to
prevent smut"

TO Be Submitted Before the
Committee on Saturday
SAID TO BE VERY HANDSOME
Proposed Structure Will Cost at Least
100000
REST AMONG THE FARMERS
Feel the Building Should be a Great Credit
to the C0unty-Enthusiasm
Is Growing

Several plans have been submitted to
the committee of the County board
charged with securing and recommen-
ding design for the proposed Court
house. The committee composed Of
G. Otto Schmidt, chairman; John
Schroeder, J. P. Watt, VIM. Spencer
and Tom Groetz, met for three days last
week looking into plans submitted by
architects from this city. Chicago and
Minneapolis, but no action was taken
by the committee, the whole subject
was held in abeyence until next
Saturday when further designs will be
submitted.
While little has leaked out regarding
the plans submitted it is said that there
is predisposition to favor home ar
chitect if all things are equal. Some
objection, however, has been raised by
competing architects owing to the delay
of week to enable further plans to be
taken into consideration One architect
remarked chat Il looked like favoritism
1t is understood that Koch, of Milwau-
kee, is jointly engaged on plans with \
Manitowoc man and that these will not
be ready before Saturday.
All the designs are said be fine, while
it is alleged that the cost of the various
designs if put into stone will each sum
up 800, 900.
Most of the men from the country
districts into. .oteu iA tnis project are
heartily in favor of good building, one
that will do credit to the county, be-
cause it is to be county building.
Many farmers have lately been at THE
PILOT Office and each man who has
discussed the subject is animated with
pride in the project.
The committee will report on April 1.

Line MAY BE BUILT
AS FAR AS MISHlCOT
BY END OF YEAR

Thomas Higgins, president of the
Manitowoc & Northern Traction Co..
said to THE PILOT representative that
while the traction line from Two Rivers
to Mishicot had already been surveyed
he could not positively state that the
track would be constructed this year.
He said the expectation of the company
was that the work of building the ex-
tension would be begun and completed
this year, but it was not absolutly
definite that this would be accomplished.
There are, he said, several matters to be
adjusted before work will be begun.
He also vouchsafed the information
that if the Mishicot extension is built
this year the car line will be pushed to
Kewaunee next year.
