WHEAT Is FAILING.
Secretary Wilson Declares Northwes
Farmers Must Reform or Lose
Their Great Croo.

Washington. March 31-"Our great
wheat fields along the northern border are
refusing to grow wheat said James Will,
son, secretary of agriculture today, land
unless the American farmers change their
methods of growing this product, there
will be a large increase in the price of
breadstuffs. The evil day cannot long be
postponed, Notwithstanding the farmers of
the northwest believe they had solved the
problem by permitting the lands to lie
fallow for one year and growing a crop Of
wheat every other year.
AT present the average production Of
wheat to the acre is bushels. while in
Europe the farmers grow 80. Last year
the American wheat crop was sickly, and
this indicates that the land refuses to
grow wheat any longer on a profitable
basis. In order to save the wheat fields
of the United States, we have sent ex-
perts to the northern part of Norway and
Sweden to find legunes which will grow
in cold climates.
If the wheat farmers of the great
northwest expect to grow wheat at a
profit, they must rotate their crops At
present we have no leguminous plants
which will grow in the northwest that
can be rotated with wheat. With a con-
tinued decrease in the yield in the north
west, the farmers of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska will begin growing wheat
again; but they will not do SO until they
can get at least 81 bushel for it,

ON ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGE.
w. J. Bailey, of Sioux Falls, to Have
Preliminary HEARING,

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 30.-The
preliminary examination in the case of
w. j. Bailey. agent in this city of the
Val Rlatz Brewing company. who was
arrested on the charge of embezlement
preferred by officers of the company,
has been continued until April 5 by
Judge Cyrus Waits, of the city courts
The accused. pending his preliminary
hearing, is at liberty, several Sioux
Falls friends having furnished a bond
in the sum of 81, 500 for his appearance
1t is impossible to secure definite fig
ures, but the alleged shortage in his ac-
counts with the company is said to
amount to something over $4,000 In
the claimed shortage, it is stated in be-
half of Mr.. Bailey, is included a num-
Der of bad accounts and the shrinkage
in bottles and cases.
When the defendant came to Sioux
Falls, it is further stated, he discov-
cred that the BlatZ company was not
securing its share of the local business.
TO remedy this it was necessary to
sspend money and Mr.. Bailey finally
found that his allowance of expense
money was not equal to the demands
made upon him, and he went over the
limit.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the difficulty between Mr.. Bailey and
the company will be adjusted prior to
the date set for the preliminary hear.

CAPITALS RACING
FOR PRUDERY LEAD
Washington and Richmond
Don't Propose to Shock
the Young Person.
NC LEGS FOR THE LADIES
Posters, Department Store Windows
Etc, Must Not Assume the Ex-
istence of Neither Extremities
and Exhibit Them.

| Washington. April 1.--For a long
time Washington has been the greatest
prude among American cities, and this
prudery has been best illustrated in it's
official attitude toward theatrical bill
boards. There are several low toned
vaudeville theaterS here, and every bit
of paper which they put up for bill
board purposes is inspected by the city
authorities with a careful eye. Ballet
dancers, with abbreviated skirts, for
instance. are tIbooed, and when the big
posters suggest anything of this kind,
directions are given that all that part
of the female figure below the waist
line is to b. covered over with large
sheets of white paper.
Recently this prudery took the form
of forbidding the posting of an adver-
tisement calling attention to a we'll
known make of American corset. The
figure was that of a female rear view.
She was completely clothed, except for
the outside dress. Her long skirts
swept the ground With train, and
folks began to wonder why the district
commissioners had forbidden the figure
to be posted. There was no suggestion
of neither limbs, nor was there any
thing about the figure that was unlike
corset advertisements as one is accuS
toned to seeing them in the newspapers
and magazines and in the department
stores
She Had Shoulders
Finally some knowing person called
attention to the fact that the retreating
lady OF the advertisement showed a
small portion of her shoulders and the
middle of her back, and the lower half
of her arms, and presumably it is on
that account that she was placed on the
unfair list. The figure, by the way,
! possessed a good deal of artistic merit.
I 1t was drawn by a French poster artist
of we'll known ability.
Richmond, Va. is three hours distant
from Washington by rail, and it ap-
pears the city fathers there have de-
cided to see the Washington city
fathers and go them one better" They
ordered the dry goods and notion stores
of Richmond to discontinue the exhibit
ton in the show windows of ladies'
stockings, stretched over forms show
ing the shape of the neither limb to the
knee. The storekeepers set up a howl,
but ultimately they We're compelled to
yield, for the city threatened to set the
police on them. Following this start,
the Richmond officials ordered that a
we'll known advertisement of q certain
brand of Virginia cigarets be removed
from the public gaze. This ADVERTISE
ment showed a comedy shaped young
woman hanging by her knees from a
trapeze bar.
So, While Washington has for long
time been the chief pride among Amer
lean cities. there is danger that she is
to lose this distinction in favor of the
capital of the old cOnfederacy

LOOK UNFRIENDLY.
London Papers Do Not Like Attitude
of Kaiser in His Morocco

London, April 1.-The editorial ar
tices and dispatches printed in the
London newspapers this morning re-.
fleet a certain sense of uneasineSs,
almost amounting to irritation, at the.
idea based on Chancellor Won Buelow's
speech in the reichstag on March ~,
that Emperor Williams visit to Tangier
has a distinctly political motive. The:
subject was also much commented up
on in the Hobbies of the houses OF parlla-'
ment yesterday.
"Russias eclipse is Germany's oppor-'
tunity" crystallZeS in a sense the gen
eral idea prevalent on the subject. IL
is suggested that Emperor William, tar,
from desiring to irritate France, wishes,
rather to emphasize the diminished
value of the Russian alliance, and
thereby persuade France of the advisa-
biity of a rapprochement with Ger,
many At the same time those least
inclined to cavil at the German emper-'
or's action admit that it is calculated,
to stiffen the sultan's resistance to-
French policy in Morocco and SO retard
the civilization scheme involved in the
Anglo-Frelrch agreement.
In this light the usually moderate
Daily Telegraph says the emperor's.
visit to Tangier can only be regarded,
as an unfriendly act. Other papers,
are inclined to doubt the wisdom of
Emperor Williams policy, which they
think is more likely to result in
strengthening the Anglo-F'rench en-
tente Much satisfaction is expressed,
at the exchange of visits which is be-,
ing arranged for the French and Brit
III fleets at the coming of summer.

THEY'RE AFTER Mr.. WI
Former Chinese Envoy May Be Com
PEELED to Commit Suicide for
Reforp,S

Washington. March 31.-Wu Ting Fang
the former Chinese ambassador whose
humor won popularity for him in America
has fallen upon evil times in his native
land. He is charged with having deceived
the empress dowager as to the real con-
dition Of the Hankow-Canton railroad
whose affairs he administers, and even
with having enriched himself out of the
revenues of the road
His accuser is Huang Chang Men. a
censor whose duties are to keep a sharp
watch on all officials, and information
reached Washington today that Huang
Chang Men has filed long memorial with
the empress dowager, which has been re-
ferred to WI for an answer. Should the
charges be sustained, he may be dis
graced or receive an order to swallow gold
leaf, and that would mean death
From what is known of the affair here,
1t is believed the charges against WI are
the direct result of his efforts to introduce
western progress into the empire. The
censors, for the most part, are trying to
hold China back, and they resent activity

BALFOUR WAS SHARP.
Declined to Be Dragged Into Fiscal
Discussion at Risk of Sustain
inn a Defeat.

London, March 31.-At the session of tn
house of commons last evening the fiscal
policy of Premier Balfour was censured.
The minis erialists abstained from voting.
Other members present voted unanimously
for the censure.
The session was a repetition of the seS
sion of March %, when a resolution intro
duced by MIR. AinSworth Gree trade lib
eraD condemning the governments propo-
sition to impose a general duty on man
ufactured goods was carried by vote Of
234 to .. The ministerial front benches last
night were entirely deserted, and only
about dozen unon,sts, principally free
traders, were present when Mr.. Walton
QiberaD moved resolution as follows:
IN view of the declaration made by the
prime minister. this house thinks it neces-
sary to record its condemnation of his pol
icy of fiscal retaliation"
The opposition lad hoped that, in view
of the fact that this was vote of censure,
the government would take up the chal-
lenge and would not adhere to its declared
intention of ignoring fiscal resolutions Of
private members; but Mr. Balfour de-
clined to be drawn out and the opposition
was driven to address denunciatory
speeches to empt. benches and reap the
indirect benefit fthe effect of the govern
ment's refusal to fight when challenged
Mr.. Walton's motion was carried without
division
In reply to an inquiry by Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannernan. the speaker said
the motion would be recorded as carried
mem con.
At a cabinet Meeting held March 81 it
was decided thattn future the government
would not use pressure upon it's followers
in regard to the oppositions resolutions
framed to commit the government on the
fiscal question. The followers of Joseph
Chamberlain took similar action and de-
cided not to take part in debates or dvi-
sions on resolutions touching the tariff or
fiscal questions The action of the gov
eminent was equivalent to a declaration
that the fiscal question is not a critical
