AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE.
District Attorney Jerome Takes Actio,
In Dodge Morse Case.

District Attorney Jerome Takes Action
In Dodge Morse Case.
New York, Dec. 29.--The first Off
cial move by District Attorney Jerome
to uncover the conspiracy and lawless-
ness which he believes lies back of the
long legal fight in the Dodge Morse
case, was made yesterday, when he
swore out an attachment on Edward j.
Brachen, a detective. Bracken, it is
alleged was in New Orleans with
Dodge, and accompanied him to Texas.
AT the same time the divorce of Mrs.
Clemence Dodge was first questioned
by her former husband, who alleged
that he had never been properly serv-
ed with papers in the proceedings, the
Legality of Mrs. Dodges marriage to
Mr.. Charles w. Morse was placed in
question by the courts, and the tangle
that resulted has never been straight
ened out. The prominence Of Morse in
he business world, and his great
wealth, brought the case to unusual at
ention and public interest has been in
creased recently by reports that Dodge
mas made a confession to the district
attorney duplicating other persons in
a conspiracy to keep him away from
this state, where he was wanted to
answer to a charge that he had COM
mitted perjury in swearing that he was
not properly served with the divorce
papers. Proceedings against prominent
lawyers, before the law association
have been represented to be part of
the district attorneys program.
The great mystery of the affair has
been the fact that Dodge. himself a
poor man. was plentifully supplied
with money while he fought extradition
from Texas. Bracken, it is claimed,
was with him much of the time, and
is believed to know where the funds
came from. 1 the same time that the
attachment for Bracken was issued it
was given out that Judge Cowing was
sitting in the court Of general ses-
sions. altho all other courts We're
closed, and that he was on the bench
in order. that instant action might be
taken if indictments were handed down
yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs Morse are in Europe
and have announced their intention to
return soon. Dodge, who is at a ho-
tel in this city, is in bad health and
was said yesterday to be on the verge
of collapse,

he did not desire to do anything tnal
would give pain to the man who had
led the republican party in this state
for SO many years.
Last summer, prior to the meeting
Of the state convention 1t was reported
in political circles that former Cover
nor Frank S. Black desired TO go W
the United States senate and that ne
would have the support OF Governor
Odell. Never, however, did Mr.. BLACK
announce himself candidate and not
until yesterday did Governor Oden
make known his position. At the state
convention when Mr.. Platt attempted
to nominate Mr. Woodruff for COVER
nor. it is said that Governor Odell, IN
order to secure the support OF MT.
Black in support of Higgins, had a.
greed to help Mr.. Black. This rumor'
like many others, was never confirmed
and the governor kept his own coun-
sci, saving that he only desired partly
to discover the sentiment of the party
before taking any stand In the mat
ter. Strong efforts were made TO IN
duce him to change his attitude oue

DRAWBACK CASE UNDECIDED.
Secretary Moody Says He is Yet
Looking Into LEGAL Phases.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Somebody is
taking a long chance on a tip, accord
ing to every official of the government
who is having anything. to do with de-
Gliding the question, whether draw
back shall be paid on exported flour
made from mixed Canadian and do
nestle wheat. No decision has been an
nounced. Officials of the department
of justice and Of the treasury depart
ment who have the matter in hand
have held several conferences, but thus
far without any agreement, even of 4
tentative nature.
Minnesotans in Washington, of
course, are hopeful that the govern
ment may finally favor the Minnesota
millers, but to say that it has already
done SO is to speak without authority
and say something which cannot be
justified by any of TIE facts thus far
developed.
Shaw is Hopeful.
Secretary Shaw himself is in hope
full frame of mind regarding the att,or-
ney generals decision, but with at'so-
1utely no intinlation as to whether 1t
will be for or against the millers his
attitude being controlled by what he
sconceives to be the justice of the re-
quest which the millers have made.
He believes that there is nothing; in
law which will prevent the government
from complying with the request. AT
the same time, however he is not a
lawyer, and as the question to be de-
cided is severely one of law, he rnust
defer to the position which will be
taken by the department of justice
AS has been stated previously in this
correspondence, experts in the der art
nent are busy looking up the several
questions which are involved in the re-
quest of the millers. but have not yet
proceeded far enough to justify them
in formulating even a tentative opin-
ion.

so strongly for the return OF senator
Depew. Such being the case,
would have been the worst kind OF

After the adjournment of the meet
ing at the republican club, Senator De-
new. Speaker Nixon and Senator Malby
with Governor Odell went to the Fifth
Avenue hotel He was asked to con-
firm the statement that the senator
ship had been settled.
He said: ut has been absolutely set

In reply to question as to whether
this agreement was in accord win ms
own personal preference or whether ne
yielded to the party leaders, Governor
Odell said:
h az would not be human If did not
have a personal preference, but what
wanted was to find out the choice OF
the whole party"
Governor Odell was asked: Did you
lust find out that the sentiment OF the
party was for Depew?"

been working on the matter ever since

.Did the Platt conference last week
have any effect on your courseF"
81 can't say that it did. Many of my
friends attended that conference ana II
brought out nothing particularly new.
I knew all along that there was
strong sentiment for Depew.
The conference must have been as
amicable as it was brief, as sounds of
merriment could be heard. Senator De-
pew had been in conference only few
minutes when he hurried out, his face
wreathed in smiles. He said:
1.-THE optimist wins as he always
does and I am it. The senatorship is
settled in my favor and thru Governor
Odell."
How about Black?" the senator was
asked.

was the reply; Sin fact that everybody
is now satisfied that the matter has
been settled amicably and that there
is general harmony"
When it first became known publicly
that there had been differences of opin-
ion over party politics between Sena-
tor Plat and Governor Odell. public
attention was directed to the two seats
in the United States senate held by
Platt and Depew almost as much as
to the convention that would nominate
the next candidate for governor. Sen
ator Plat went before the legislature
for reelection two years ago and was
returned, but three republican state
senators refused to support him. The
campaign to return Mr.. Depew part
ly began at that time and was contin
ued until he was able to an
nounce it's success. 1t was known
all along that Mr.. Depew regarded Mr..
Platt as very good friend and that

Best Ace to Breed Heifer..

Breeders are not agreed as to the
best age for putting the heifer into the
breeding herd. Many maintain that
she will develop into a better mixer
by being started early. DR.. Kitchen,
writing in the Jersey Bulletin, says:
"If this Practice Of early breeding is
carried out we have got to accept the
small or medium sized COW. If we
breed late and less frequently, the COW
becomes larger, because the blood
made in the animal is directed to the
undesirable parts during the times
when it would otherwise be directed in
part to the udder Furthermore, the
nervous system, which. presides over
the distribution Of the blood thru these
undesirable parts, becomes enlarged
during these periods to such a degree
that even when maternity ensues, not
so much blood is directed to the udder
as would otherwise have been the case.
Furthermore, because we wish to avoid
the tendency of the nervous system to
direct blood and energy to these unde-
sirable parts Of the dairy COW, we do
not feed the animal too luxuriously
during the time she is not in milk

Potato Seed Selection.

circular recently issued by the
Illinois experiment station on the Sc
lection of Seed in Potato Growing"
says:
1.-The Importance of the potato in
Illinois Is shown by the fact that 1t
ranks fifth In value among the farm
crops in the state. The average yield
for forty years has been only eighty
one bushels per acre and the largest
average yield for the state in any one
year has been one hundred and twenty
nine bushels. These yields could be
greatly increased by better methods OF
culture and especially by greater care
in seed selection Plants Of the same
variety grown in the same field may
vary widely in productiveness.
Seed should be sawed only from the
productive hills. The first selection
should be made while plants are still
growing in the field. Vigorous plants.
showing q green color, stability of stem
and the power to resist disease should
be marked When the crop is harvested
the yield from each Of these marked
plants should be noted and the tuIbers
of the most productive saved. From
vidual tubers having the characteristics
of the desired type should then be Sc
lected. Medium sized, we'll developed
tubers are more desirable than ex-
tremely large or extremely small ones
The small tubers are not fully devel-
oped and will not transmit the full
vigor of the mother plant. Their con-
tinued use results in diminishing yields
and a constant increase in the proper
ton of small tubers in the crop.
1.-THE keeping quality Of potatoes may
also be improved by selection. Care
should be taken every season to avoid
planting any tubers which are badly
sprouted or beginning to rot. The re-
lection Of such potatoes also results In
larger yields, since plants from such
tubers would be small weak, and less
productive than those from sound tu-
bers"

mitS Suicide.
LIGHTNING
Struck Him Several
Years Ago
And His Mind Had Not Been
Clear Since That Time---
Sad Affair.

Mr.. Jacob Huber. a well-to do farm
OF. who resided on the oil Fred Mohr
farm near Gretna. committed suicide
Saturday morning by hanging himself
in barn on his farm. The cause Of
his self lfdestruction is thought to have
been due to worry occasioned by the
erection of new buildings upon his farm
or his mind may have been affected Ms
the result OF his having been struck by
lightning a few years ago. The widow
believes the latter the cause as he had
acted queerly at times since struck and
his actions had been especially oda dur
ing the past few days. Recently he had
told wife that he could keep his mind
ON no one subject when he desired to
do so. Besides the widow whose
maiden name was Lucy Mohr, she be-
ing a daughter of the late Fred Mohr.
he is survived by three sons. lads in
their teens, who reside at home and a
daughter, Mrs. Hugh Miller The son:
are Lawrence. George and Herman.
Mr.. Huber was son of Uncle George
Huber. of near Gretna, who is well
known here. and WAS a member of the
Stoney Greek Dunkard church. he
was a man about fifty years of age.
Today is the birthday of Mrs. Huber
and sad day OF anniversary it is for
her. Mr.. Huber got up as usual Sat
urday morning. He started to fix the
fire In order that his wife might pre-.
pare the morning meal. He then went
to the barn and failing to return hii
wife and oldest son started to look fol
him. He was found by the son hang
ing in the hay NOW with the hay rop,
about his neck. The shock to Mrs
Huber who is in poor health, is a ter.
rible one. The family has the sym
pathy of many friends in their bereave
ment.
