DOUBTS NEUTRALITY HAVING
BEEN VIOLATED
NOT ALARMED AT PROTESTS
Officials viii Neither Deny Nor Af-
firm the Report That Rojest-
vensky Has Left kano-
ranh Bay
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSa.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 21.-The
latest word of Admiral sRojestvensky
was the dispatch from the agent of
the finance ministry at Shanghai, say
ing the squadron had passed through
the Straits of Formosa, but the author
ity given by the agent for his state
ment is considered doubtful. The ad-
miralty processes a good deal of skep-
ticism in regard to all dispatches from
the far east reporting the location oil
Russian vessels, pointing out that false
news is likely to be set afloat deliber-
ately. The officials here neither deny
nor affirm the report that Rojestven-
sky is still at Kamranh bay.
The foreign office displays no anxiety
as a result of the protests made by
Japan over the alleged violation of
French neutrality, expressing conf
dence that when all the facts are known
1t will be found that the Russians did
not violate the neutrality of France.
Serious complications are not antici-
pated.
The reiteration of the story that the
Russian protected cruiser Askold, in
termed at Shanghai, is taking on coal
and preparing to slip out is again de-
MED.
Nothing has been heard of the fourth
division of the Russian squadron, COM
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. Most
of the naval men express the opinion
tbo+ Poiestvenskv will not await q
juncture with Nebogatoff, but will al
low this weaker division to train behind
him.

BERLIN, April 21.-Charles NJ.
Schlab, accompanied by G. r. Flint
of New York, will arrive in Russia to-
morrow to complete negotiations with
the Russian government for large
orders for warships, armament and
munitions. The negotiations contem-
plate the creation of practically new
Russian navy and involve $100,000,000.
The orders will be distributed to all
the leading shipyards, gun works and
steel mills of America to facilitate
their completion.
Schwab, who is considered in Rus
sia the greatest master of steel con-,
struction In the world, will serve In
the capacity of general overseer of the
huge building program. Flint will
have charge of the financial arrange
ments. The contracts will provide
that much of the construction will be
done in Russia, only the material and
some of the skilled labor coming from
America.
Two facts have induced Russia to en-
trust this transaction to Americans:
The geographical isolation of the United
States which reduces to a minimum
the possibility of Russian war mater
ials being tied up in the event of
serious European complications with
in the next five years, and the anti
British sentiments prevailing at st.
Petersburg which have determined
Russian statesmen no longer to turn
Russian orders over to England.

MARCH|ONESS IS
SUICIDE VICTIM
AUSTRIAN NOBLEWOMAN ENDS
LIFE AT MILAN
TRAGEDY IN THE CATHEDRAL
Viscountess of Trent Shoots Herself
When Fifteen Thousand Catholic
Worshipers Are kneeIlng
In Prayer

By Associated Press.
MILAN, April 22.-In the midst of a
great throng attending Good Friday
services in the famous cathedral
the Marchioness Maria Pallavicini,
viscountess of Trent, Austria, has COM
mitted suicide by shooting.
The circumstances were so intensely
dramatic and extraordinary as to be
unprecedented.
The suicide of the marchioness oc-
Cured at the moment of the most in
tense religious concentration in the
$1,000 Catholic worshipers. The con-
gregation was kneeling when shot
rang out.
An Austrian priest hurried to the side
of the countess and found her dying
with a wound in her forehead. Her
death occurred a few moments later,
while she was on the way to a hospital.
The marchionese was renowned
throughout Italy for her great beauty.
She was not yet 80 years of age. Do
tion from her husband, is supposed to
have been the cause of her suicide.
The Good Friday services in the
Duomo are renowned throughout the
world and are second only to those of
Rome. The church was filled and great
crowds were gathered in front of the
building, and even standing upon the
pedestal of the statue of Victor
Emanuel in the plaza before the cathe-
dral.
The interior of the great edifce was
draped throughout in black. The altar
was stripped and the church was al
most in darkness.
Fires Shot at Impressive Moment
The procession of the stations of the
cross had ended and thousands in the
cathedral knelt in silence about the
Crucifix. There was no sound through
out the great church except the
breathing of the congregation. At this
moment of intense concentration the
shot was heard near the tomb of St.
Charles Borromeo in front of the
altar.
The tense silence was shattered like
broken glass. Thousands of women
rose to their feet panicstricken by the
scream which followed the shot Only
those clustered near the tomb could
realize what had happened. On the
beautiful prie-dieu, on which she had
been kneeling at prayer, lay the mar
chloness, blood streaming from the
wound in her forehead. while the wo-
men near her screamed and frantical-
ly sought to get away from the spot.
From the altar a priest forced his
way to her side and remained kneel-
ing. administering the last rites of the
church.
Other church officials hurried about
through the cathedral urging the
throng to leave until the building had
been cleared so that 1t could be con-
secrated anew.
An ambulance was called and the
was hurried to a hospital
but died on the way
The cathedral was solemnly reconse-
Grated before the commencement of the
evening services.

D'Orsay, where he held an extended
conference with the minister of for
eign affairs.
1t is evident that NJ. Rouvier's
earnest appeal caused NJ. Delcasse to
waver in his determination. When the
president of the council came from the
interview he stated to his colleagues
that he bore a favorable impression
Of its results. NJ. Delcasse, he said,
had given no. final answer, but had
promised to reserve his determination
till tomorrow, when final answer will
be given. 1t is believed that NJ. Del
casse will yield to the insstence of
President Loubet and the president of
the council.
The motives leading up to NJ, Del
casse's sudden determination to retire
from the cabinet are primarily attrib-
uted to internal controversies over the
Moroccan question; and this to some
extent has been accentuated by similar
controversies over French neutrality
in the far east. The opposition has
been quick to seize upon both ques-
tlons, and. headed by Socialists and
Nationalists. has directed its criticisms
against M. Delcasse.
Day Full of Anxieties
The announcement of Nj. Delcasse's
intention to resign was but one of
many incidents in a day of much anx-
iety. Following close upon the heels
of the Morocco complications the
Franco Japanese matters suddenly as
sumed serious proportions and un-
usual energy was shown in prevent
ing their embroiling France in COM
plcations in the far east. A conference
was held this afternoon between lead
ing representatives of the navy,
colonial and foreign departments and
orders were sent to Governor General
Beau to report specifically the exact
location of the Russian Pacific squad
ron and whether 1t had or had not
withdrawn from French waters.

North Carolina Rice Acreage Gradually
Diminishing.

The Crop Reporter, issued by the

contains the following on the rice
acreage in North Carolina for the
season 19O5-19O6:
"In North Carolina and the sec
tions of the State where the cuit1va-
tion Of upland rice is confined, the
rice industry has continued to dlmln-
ish for several years, until now, the
cultivation of upland rice is confined
to small patches on the farm that
are unsuited for the cultivation OF
any other crop. The decrease IN ac-
reage in this section of the State
over last season is large.
"In the tidewater section OF the
State, along the Cape Fear River and
it's tributaries. the reduction In acre

Improved Farm Machinery.

Improved Farm Machinery.
Saws the Moore County News:
DR.. Mcleod, who weant as delegate
TO the General Assembly at Fort
Worth, Texas, some time ago, talks
Interestingly of his trip to the west
and says he was very much pleaseo
at the way the Western farmers cul-
tivate their crops. They used I'M
proved farm machinery exclusively
because of the scarcity of labor, and
one man with two horses can easily
do the work of four men and tour
horses, and that he is very ANXIOUS
to see the farmers of Moore County
begin the use of improved farm ma
chinery, for in this course their sue
cess in a large measure depends.
Much of our lands are rough, rocky
and stumDv, but all these obstacles
can be removed at a small cost and
the farmer put his land in fine shape
for the use of better farm mach1n-
ery. Every man with two horse
farm should by all means get him
good harrow, a good cultlvator,
GOOD mower and rake, and all OF
these cali be secured at cost OF
something like 1925, and he can
! easily cultivate without hiring out
| side help all of his land himself, and
| the expense saved will pay for the
outfit the first year, and like amounts
can be put to his credit each year
thereafter. A good many will say
that they only run one-horse farm,
and this plan is not practical Three
wears ago our esteemed friend, W. A.
Wadsworth, had lots of sickness IN
his family, and by reason of which
he was unable to look after his farm
at all, but he had good stock and I'M
proved machinery, and he made
proposition to one of his nelghbors
Mr.. Vow, that he would furnish the
stock and implements for the work
of both farms if Mr.. Vow would d-
the work; this Mr.. Vow agreed to do
and with the improved implements
furnished by Mr.. Wadsworth, Mr.
Vow cultivated both farms, and they
made good crops; in fact, Mr.. Yov
actually did the WORK by himself Of
four men and four horses, cultivat
ing both farms successfully.
The time has come, yea, actual.
here, when, the farmer most needs t.
, do his own work and not depend OF
{ hired labor, for the labor is not avail
r able, and the only way is bv cuttins
} down the acreage and using improve'

THE WINTER GARDEN.

change the proportions. The only
winter crop of a leafy nature to
which we apply the last-named mix
ture is lettuce, but of late we nave
varied this and make it 500 pounds
of acid phosphate, 800 pounds OF
dried blood and 400 pounds OF mu-
rate of potash. This is the result
of many years of experimenting III
the growing of lettuce in frames IN

damping-off fungus in the frames

INTERESTING FARMER BOYS
Mr.. Moore Tells the Story of the ILL
nois Corn Growing Contest-He Will
Organize "Farmer Boys Institutes ),

Louisiana Purchase Exposition Won
will remember the two pyramids Of
corn over which were these words:
Grown by the Farmer Boys of L.
linois."
eight Thousand Farmer Boys in
Contest"
These rvramids were made up of
one thousand little pyramids, ea:n
containing ten ears Of white or vel
low corn, of uniform size. straight
rowed and bearing evidence Of hay-
ing passed through careful hands and
under the inspection of critical eyes.
This exhibit was made by eight
thousand farmer boys who had be-
come interested in improving the
corn yield on their home farms
through the educational work of
farmers Institutes the past few years
in Illinois.
This corn exhibit is very interest
ing, but rather long for one article;
I will cut it as short as possible to
give a clear idea.
Several packages of seed corn were
mailed to every boy under Is years
| of age who would send his name to
the State director of farmers nsti
tutes. Five hundred boys sent for
seed and began the contest for pre-
miums offered. Their report was 70
be made at the institute and pre-
miums awarded.
! All the year these boys talked
Farmers Institutes.
| They compared notes and e1-
changed ideas. The interest was 50
great that when the institute was
held there were a great many boys
ON hand with their prize corn, and
some five hundred or more farmers
with the boys. The next year the
institute had an attendance Of 1900
| fathers and boys. Farmers, some OF
: whom had in former days SAID, "they
had forgot more than those mStl,
) tute speakers would ever know
J were present, and sought seats close
: up in front. At this particular IN
, stitute the information | have, says;
, "The corn was simply immense
? and so were the boys"
So the outcome of this institute
l work in behalf of the boys on farms
l in Illinois was the offering OF prizes
1 amounting to $4,000 for corn to De
: exhibited at the St. Louis FaF
a Twelve hundred boys contrlbuteda

most exclusively. But while tn1s Is
good for the winter crop, 1t has the
bad fault of boiling to seed at the
first breath of warm weather In the
spring; then, too, we have found
that for the winter crop the Call
fornia Cream Butter lettuce IS as
good as the big Boston, is less sub
ject to rot, and having smaller
outside spread of leaves can be plant
ed closer in the frames.
Last spring we tried the Giant
CRYSTAL Head. and the New Unrlvaled
ond will use these too for the winter
crop this winter. For the spring
crop or for wintering outside for re-
planting the frames there is no let-
tuce that can surpass the wonderful;
It makes very large and solid head |
and is peculiarly crisp, and being |
one of the hardest of lettuces, 1t is |
easy to winter over outside even tor
the outside spring planting. Those
who are growing lettuce for winter
| should always have an abundant wa
ter supply, for it is often essential
to irrigate the beds in our dry fall
weather to get the seed to germlnate,
| and when glass is used 1T IS equally
important to have a supply tor wa
tering the frames so as not to be de-
pendent on the. rainfall.
Another winter crop in which we
take a lively interest is the winter
radish crop. For this crop we use the
Rose Colored and the White Chinese.
This is heavily fertilized with the
first mentioned mixture of 81, and
, four parts of acid phosphate, cotton
; seed meal and potash at rate OF l,OOo
, pounds per acre. and the seed IS sown

e frames are ready for use.
In part of our frames we take but
