BRAZIL BIDS FOR PEACE
Oners Land to Bolivian Government
IL Acre Expedition fs
Called on.

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Jan. 25.-At noon yes
terday the first vice president Colonel
Velasco, was banished under an executive
decree. A police patrol conducted him to
the Peruvian frontier.
The reason for this action was that Vice
President Velasco, being a leader Of the
opposition, could not assume the presidency
without creating political disturbances.
The second vice president. DR.. Anibal
Capriles, will assume the presidency when
President Pando goes to Acre.
During the past week conferences have
taken place between the Brazilian minister
and President Pando. The object OF these
meetings has not been definitely ascer-
tained but 1t is understood that Brazil Is
seeking to dissuade the Bolivian govern
ment from proceeding with the military
expedition to Acre. II is said that Brazil
is Offering in exchange the Madeira terri
tory. situated on the Bolivian frontier. With
financial facilities for Acre.
PARIS, Jan. 25.-The Brazilian legation
here has issued an oficial statement ex-
planning the governments position toward
the Acre dispute and the projected expedi-
tion by President Pando OF Bolivia.
The statement declares that the Bra
lillian government has given Bolivia to dn-
derstand that the contract with the Bolt-
vian syndicate. is a monstrosity on law,
since II entails the partial alienation Of
sovereignty TO a foreign country and that
the concession is void inasmuch as It dis
poses of territory which is the subject OF
dispute with Peru.
The statement proceeds TO say that Bra
zil has always given a liberal interpreta-
tion to the treaty OF 1867, seeking to favor
Bolivia by procuring its facility OF COM
munication on the Amazon and the Para
quay. but Bolivia having alienated 10 a
| foreign syndicate the rights made 10 1t in
the Acre territory Brazil will now sustain
| the strict Interpretation OF the treaty
| After recounting the various proposals
made to adjust the dispute the statement
| concludes:
Bolivia having refused all th( se proposals
! and President Pando having decided 10
/ march against the Brazilian subjects IN
! Acre, the president OF Brazil has decided &c
| concentrate troops in the adjoining states

SORE OVER BAR ELECTION
some Members of omaha Association

day Nights Contests.

1t develops that the transactions at
Saturday nights NEE, lg Of the Omaha
Bar association were OF such nature and OF
such result that the Associations career
during the coming year will be interesting
to observe. The feet is that the executive
forces Of the association are OF different
factions and trial Of strength may re-
suit.
Before the meeting was called to order az
the Commercial clubrooms IL had become
generally known that f. a. Brogan aud
following was to be pitted against John L.
Kennedy and a following The Kennedy
faction had made the charge that the Bro
gan faction is trying to run tlfe association
and the Brogan faction answered that Il
has had to run 1t heretofore because others
were not willing to do anything requiring
so much work
This preliminary discussion brought to
the meeting more than 100 Of the $50 mem
bers and the contest extended clear along
the line, the Brogan faction declining to
give in after Kennedy had won in The
presidential clindh. The vice president Is
chosen by the executive committee, but for
secretary A. G. Ellick, the successful can
didate, had TO beat e. c. Holder and 0. s.
Erwin, and for treasurer Clancy st. Clair
had to beat Holder, who bobbed up In
both places.
The division Of honors came when the
executive committeeman were chosen. Here
the Brogan faction got w. ID. McHugh,

seated, with Warren Switzler and John

Inoculating the Soil.

our agricultural Journals are
discussing quite freely the inoc-
ulation of soil with cultures of
bacteria for special crops, and so
far as experiments have been
made, this practice has met with
success.
Dairymen have accepted these
minute agents as valuab BILE adj.
juncts to success IN the product
ion of choice butter, and the
scientific world has discovered
that the growth of bacteria per-
forms special functions in the
growth of all plants. The mi
cro-organism which assist in
plant nutrition, are known as nj
tro bacteria, which have power
of forming ammonia, or carbon
ate of ammonia from organic
compounds. Some transform
ammonia into nitric acid, while
others transform nitrous into
nitric acid, each kind being nee.
essary for it's own particular
work. The ferments known as
nitrous ferments, are the largest
and nest vigorous of the nitrify-
ing organisms which absorbs
free nitrogen from the air, and
make it availab BILE as food for
plants. This form of bacteria
has become commercial product
which is known as nitrogen"
which is obtained in bottles, and
may be used in inoculating land.
An easy method of experiment.
ing with bacteria is for farmers
to procure soil from other farms.
We have in mind the instance
of farmer who was unable to
grow clover on certain soil with
success, but by obtaining sever
al bushels of top soil from a field
upon which had grown a luxu-
rient crop of clover, and scatter
ing it over the field which had
been used without success, he
procured magnificent crop. 1t
had all the elements of fertility
for clover before, but was lack
ing in the heterogeneous nee
essary for converting the plant
food of the soil into forms best
adapted for crops. This rule
applies to alfalfa as we'll, but one
cannot secure a large yield by
using the bacteria of red clover
on crimson clover as each plant
has it's special agents in this res
pect. The clover bacteria will
remain for two or three years on
a plot, even though but one crop
of clover is removed. Soils that
have alkaline qualities are favor
able to the development of these
germs.
There remains much to be
