Iowa Ground is Still Too Wet for
Spring Flowing.
The crop bulletin for the week end
ing April II, published by the Iowa
section of the United States depart
ment of agriculture from the Des
Moines headquarters is as follows:
THE past winter was abnormally
cold. and the ground was frozen to an
unusual depth. The frost has yielded
slowly, and the surface mas been too
wet for field work, except on the drlest
lands. The season is ten days later
than the average in all parts of the
state. A fair start has been made in
seeding small grain in the more favored
localities, but the general storm of rain
and snow on the 7th, Sth and 9th re-
tarded all farm operations. There is
a much larger than usual area of fall
plowed ground in readiness for seeding
and planting and the acreage of oats
spring wheat, barley and corn is likely
to be quite large if the weather cond1-
lions are favorable. Reports Indicate
considerable damage to fall wheat by
winter-killing. Grass is making fair
start. So far as can be ascertained at
this time the prospect is favorable for
fruit. The general condition of live
stock Is good, and there is an abundant
supply Of forage"

TESTIMONY
AGAINST DIR. CORKRAN

BY far the most sensational disclos-
ures made at the inquiry into the ac-
tions of the Revs. Corkran and Baker.
being held by the ministers Of the Will
mington Conference in Union Church,
were made this morning.
The testimony is damaging to DR..
Corlxran, but he had not started on
the defense. When he does begin there
are rumors of other things that will
lend spice to the occasion. The whole
of the afternoon win probably be taken
up with the prosecution and it is eN-
pected the defense will begin this even
ing.
The press committee is highly pleased
with the manner in which the local
papers have handled the proceedings,
but they disapprove of the heading on
the investigation story in the Phila-
delphia Record this morning, claiming
it was misleading.
The following is the result Of this
mornings session, which adjourned at
1890 o'clock
The chair instructed press committee
to give to the public through the papers
the largest possible report Of the pro-
ceedings being careful no to make
such statements as would reflect upon
either the prosecution or defence. The
counsel for the church resumed its
work and the deposition of the Rev.
William FAIRIES. a local preacher at
Smyrna, was read and accepted as .ev-
idence.
The Rev II. S. Thompson, Of Silver
brook NJ. e. Church. Wilmington. was
called to state a conversation between
himself and Mr.. FAIRIES concerning the
matter contained in the deposition. The
chair ruled that the deposition was suf-
hcisnt and the Rev. Mr.. Thompson was
excused from making any statement.
/ The Rev. Vaughan S. Collins. pastor
of Port Deposit Church, was called and
related n conversation between himself
and ]. p. Hudson, of smyrna. MI Col
! Inns said:
Mr. Hudson was a member OF the
NJ f. Church at Smyrna when / be-
came the pastor. He withdrew from

gave as his reason that he was unfit TO

fit because OF his dealings IN STOCKS

Collins--"I do not know"
The Rev II. S. Thompson was called.
He related a conversation between j.

p. Hudson and himself regarding stock
deals. He stated that Mr.. Hudson con-
sidered all such dealings purely specu-
lation. He considered those dealings
a part Of his unworthiness as a church
member and said. "Corkran Is no more
fit to be In the church than 1 am"
Hudson said these things. knowing
that / was a member Of the investigat-
ing committee. Hudson did not direct

concluded Mr. Thompson.

DR.. Corkran approached him on two or
three occasions and also wrote 10 him.
He purchased some stock. He had in

.PASTEUR TREATMENT
At DELAWARE HOSPITAL
Supposed Victim of Mad Dog
Brought From Milford to
Wilmington

Since the latter part of last week
the four-year-old daughter of Charles
Postles. Of Milford. has been receiving
the Pasteur treatment for a mad dog
bite at the Delaware Hospital. The
little girl was bitten by a stray dog
while playing near her home. The ca
nine made its escape and it could not be
learned whether it was suffering with
rabies or not. The father of the child,
however, refused to take any chances
and brought the little victim to Will
mington.
The Pasteur serum is being injected
by the doctors at the hospital and is
received fresh from the Pasteur Insti-
tute at Baltimore. The condition of the
patient was reported favorable today.
