WILL IGNORE PLEA.
Russia VIII Not Receive Protest OF
American jews to Be For
warded by President.

Washington, June ~. - The state
ment comes from an authoritative
source that the Russian government
has learned with profound regret of
the intention of the Washington au-
thorities to forward to ST. Petersburg
petition from American Jews rela-
tive to Russia's treatment of her jew
ISL subjects. 1t is yet hoped that the
United States will appreciate the Rus
sian view of the case and will content
itself with the kindly expression of
sympathy which it already has offered
for the affair at Kishineff. The Rus
sian position regarding what is con-
sidered outside interference in the in
ternal affairs of Russia has already
been stated. That position continues
to be held, and it is further said that
Mr.. Riddle, the American charge, when
he presents the petition at the Russian
foreign office will be received with the
same cordially always accorded an
American envoy.
In returning the petition to Mr.. Rid
die the officials will assure him that
Russia cherishes no ill-will toward the
United States, and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition is
necessary, in view of Russia's unalter-
able policy of refraining from inter-
ference in the internal affairs of other
powers and insisting on similar treat
ment for itself. The Russian govern
ment hopes it's frmness in the matter
will not be misunderstood, but in view
of the announcement of its position
weeks ago, is surprised at the devel-
opments which will force reiteration
of it's views Mr. Riddle, it can be
stated, will be subjected to no per-
sonal embarrassment in presenting
the petition, and he will be given to
understand that the ST. Petersburg au-
thorities appreciate the fact that he
is only carrying out his orders.
Should the presentation of the petit
ton be deferred until the return to
ST. Petersburg of Mr.. Mccormick, the
American AMBASSADOR to Russia, the
same programme will obtain unless in
the meantime the Russian government
is made aware of eXtenuating circum-
stances. which put the matter in a diff
ferent light. Indeed, it is declared
Russia would be glad to do anything
possible to relieve the tension in the
United States, but feels una BILE to sac
rifice a principle which it has fol-
lowed hitherto, and the American
support of which it has warmly in
dorsed.
The Russian government readily ad-
mits the sincerity of the American
governments decision, and declines to
of the petition has any Interior sig
nificance, or is in any way associated
with any other matters.

attorney of the District of Columbia

make it difficult, without neglecting
other important public duties, to de-

gest, therefore, that if you cannot
detail some of your present staff, you
appoint special assistants in these

up the cases in which indictments

be found, but to examine into all
charges that have been made against
officials in the postal service, with

SANFORD RAISES
MUCH CELERY

Ocala, Fla, Arril ga day spent
among the celery growers of Sanford
would convince any unprejudiced indi-
vidual that the possibilities of Florida
are but just beginning to unfold.
Ten years ago Florida was noted only
for her climate and oranges. Oranges
were as good as gold, and an orange
grove was as good a basis of credit as
government bonds. Eight years ago
last February the orange was taken
away. A cold wave swept over the
country, killing, practically every tree
in the old orange growing belt. The
people were in a helpless condition,
strong men staggered from the force of
the solar plexus blow that had been
dealt them, and their hopes became
memories. The orange growers were
not farmers as a rule; but farming Of
Of escape from starvation. Therefore
they took up farming, beginning at the
bottom to learn how.nsffE
A few men at and inFthe vicinity of
Sanford experimental with celery.
None had previously been grown there.
The first attempt resulted in encour-
asement, and the next year it was re-
peated, more care being given to de-
tails, and far more gratifying results
being attained. 1t was the birth of
new industry, the opening up of a new
field of enterprise the outcome of which
no man can foretell. To-day Sanford
is the center of a celery industry that
is bringing thousands of dollars to her
people, and which promises to make
that city as famous as is Kalamazoo.
The quality of the goods is equal to
that of the Michigan fields. 1t comes
in at a season of the year when the
Kalamazoo crop is stale and has lost
its attractive appearance. 1t finds
ready market and at remunerative
prices. Possibly the most encouraging
feature of the new business is found
in the fact that northern buyers come
to Sanford and pay spot cash for the
products of the celery fields. There
are no consignments to the commits
sion men. There is enough competition

Onion Experiments.

THE results of last years work
with onions at the station show that
it was cheaper to transplant from the
seedbed than to thin the onions grown
in the field and transplant in the
vacant spots, says Bulletin of New
Mexico Experiment Station. A plat of
one-tenth of an acre was transplant
ed with onions grown in cold
frame. The rows were 300 feet long
by fifteen inches wide, with the on
ions four inches apart in the row.
making 900 onions to the row or g.
900 to the plant. The onions were ir-
rigated Immediately after transplant
ings The cost tof transplating this
plat of the 5000 onions amounted to
&.95. This included the cost of the
first irrigation, bringing the onions
from the cold-frame to the field. and
the dropping of them about the proper
distance in the row. 1t was observed
that better time could be made by hav-
ing a man drop the onions a little in
advance of the man setting them At
this rate it would cost $3.50 to trans
plant an acre. or 90 5000 onions. The
thinning and transplanting in the va
cant spots of a similar plat cost $4-
10. The estimated cost of thinning an
acre would be SAL, practically one
fourth more than in the former case
The distance to plant onions varies
but the most common one (when hand
culture is practiced) seems to be from
twelve to fifteen inches between the
rows and from four to four and a half
in the row. Many of the authorities on
onion-growing give 100000 to 100000 on
ions to the acre.
Onions are very expensive to grow,
