SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
Senator Bard Makes Charges i'm Com
mittee Room.

Washington. Sensational disclos-
ures in relation to the alleged use nf
Indian trust funds for the support re
sectalian schools were made by Senator,
Bard in a statement to the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs.
Senator Bard addressed the commit
tee after statements had been made NV
5 Nj. Brosius, agent of the Indian
rights association, and Francis Leunn
commissioners of Indian affairs. Tho
senator said that he had been visited nv
DIR. E. l.. Scharf, an agent for q
Roman Catholic mission society and
asked to use his influence with rennb-
lican members of congress looking m
forwarding the interest of Catholics in
getting diversion of the Indian trust
funds for the support of the Catholic
schools ON the reservations. He ouoted
DIR Sohalf as saying that if the repub.
Leans would agree TO help the desired
legislation, the Catholics would 500
that the Twentieth congressional dis.
trlct, IN which the republicans were
weak, was carried for the party.
Senator Teller questioned Senator
Bard as to his construction of the offer
of DR.. Scharf and received the reply.
II thought it purely political and at
the time placed little credence in it..
Senator said that if it was provan
that the statement of DIR. Scharf was
made in earnest there was more capse
10 complain of the interference of the
Cathnlc church than of the Mormon
church in the political affairs Of the
country.
The remarks of Senator Bard at-
tracted attention to letters hat had
been put in the record by Mr. Blosius
Among these were number from
priests III relation to the use Of Indian
trust funds. Two Of them alleged that
the president was favorable to the di-
version of the funds for the promotion
of the Catholic schools on the resera-
tiuns.
Mr. BroSlus was questioned as to the
date of those letters and said that the
correspondence he had been able to get
hold OF indicated that the interest Of
the Catholic church developed during
the recent campaign.
The statement of Senator Bard Gre
ated stir in the committee, and he
was asked to give more detailed ac-
count of the transactions, as well as
any other matters relating to the use
OF trust funds for sectarian school pnr-
poses on which he was informed. He
filed with the committee statement
covering the conversation, and also a
list OF the districts the Catholic assoc
citation proposed to carry for him. He
then discussed the statement of S. NJ.
Brosius, agent of the Indian Rights as.
ISOLATION, and also quoted from cir
cular letter issued by NJ. X. Shiffen,
secretary of the association, charging
that the discrimination in favor of
Roman Catholics was by direction of
the president.

Food for the stock,

Those who have tested the use of
more particularly for swine, agree that
the uncooked foods are by far the most
digestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarans who urge uncooked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome. Yet there are two sides to
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value Of the uncooked
food with animals at any rate, but we
all know that quantity of raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer is apt to create a disturb
ance of the digestive organs. Not al
ways does il cause q loOseness Of the
bowels, but acidity Of the stomach
which is very painful. Is it not fair to
assume that if uncooked food has this
effect on the human stomach that 1t
must have some bad effect on the stom-
ach of the farm animal
This may be a little far-fetched, but
experience has taught the writer that,
without exception, one warm meal
day during the winter Is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have a
warm bran mash, and it has been we'll
cooked, too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day, and thrive
on it. This being our experience, our
is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally, but that
most Of their meals should consist Of
food not cooked.

Sensational Scene.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 31.-There
was sensational scene in the senate
Monday when William Corbin. secre-
tary of the Continental Building &
Loan association, was called to purge
himself of contempt in not appearing
before the committee on commissions
and retrenchment of the upper house
OF the state Legislature to anwser ques-
tons regarding the alleged mismanage-
ment of that company S affairs.
Corbin was represented by Attorney
Frank d. Nichol, who said that on adj
vice of counsel Corbin had not appear
ed before the committee. He held that
the committee had no authority to act
IN this matter. The attorney then
filed an affidavit containing sensational
charges. 1t declares that the whole
purpose of the investigation is the per-
secution of DIR. Washington Dodge,
assessor of the city and county of San
francisco, who is president of the loan
association.

Agriculture in Japan.

A report prepared by the American
at Yokohama gives
some particulars as to agriculture in
Japan. He states that only 14995,272
acres, or 1871 per cent, of the total area
Of the country, exclusive of Formosa,
are in arabic cultivation About 80
per cent of the agricultural families
cultivate less than two acres each; 80
per cent, two acres to less than three
and three-fOurth acres and 10 per cent,
three and three-fourths acres to more.
1t is not clear whether the small hold.
ers have grass land in addition to their
arabic land. AS to how families can
be supported on such minute farms. ii
is pointed out that the Japanese stand
ard of living Is comparatively low;
that the small farmer usually earns
wages apart from his land. or engages
in some such industry as silk-produc-
ing or spinning: that he cultivates and
manures his lana very thoroughly; and
that he often raises two or more crops
in season on the same land. In the
warmer parts of Japan, it Is stated,
barley, indigo, beans and rape are
grown in succession on one piece Of
land in twelve months.
How Much Pork to Acre?
1t may be unusual to estimate the
amount of pork that can be produced
from an acre of certain crops, but it is
claimed that an acre of land in clover
VIII produce 500 pounds Of pork; peas.
375 pounds; corn, $50 pounus; oats.
320 pounds; barley, 420 pounds, and
wheat 225 pounds.
The value of each crop on one acre,
when converted into pork, Is as fol.
lows: Glover, $50; corn, 500 40; peas,
SO; barley, $16.S0; oats, $13.2O. and
wheat 8, estimating the pork at 4 cents
per pound,
OF course something depends on the
prices ruling for the crops. The
amount of produce per acre required
to give the pork mentioned on an acre
is 900 pounds of wheat, 1850 pounds
of barley, 1920 pounds of oats. 2.24O
pounds of corn 1900 pounds of peas.
and 10000 pounds of green clover.
The plan Of sowing cowpeas to oc.
cupy the soil after harvesting fall

vorable season the cowpeas make a
large growth and can be plowed under
In time for another crop Of grain or
grass seeding. The soil is left In much
better shape than it would be If left in
stubble and weeds The trouble about
the plan this year is the difficulty in
obtaining cowpea seed. There seems
TO be little II any left in the country
We are thinking of using white beans
in place OF the peas.

PRIMARY ELECTION
CRUSADE is STARTED
Representative Lund Begins
Inevitable Agitation in
the House

The first of what is believed to be a
half score of bills to amend the Min
nesota primary election law appeared
in the house yesterday Representa-
tive j. G. Lund, of Minneapolis, who is
said to entertain ambitions in the di-s
rection of governors office two years
hence, presented a bill extending the
operations of the law to include all
state officers. The amendment to the
present law provides that the primary
election shall include all state, judicial.
congressional, county and city officers,
and elective members of the school
boards, park boards and library boards
in cities over 100000 population. The
tuesday seven weeks before the gen
eral election day shall be in lieu of the
present first registration day. The law
relating to filing of intention to be-
come a candidate at the primary cleo
ton remains the same as under the
present law, twenty days before the
election. Candidates for state or dis
trict nominations must file with the
secretary of state and county candi-
dates with the county auditor. State
candidates must pay $50 filing fee.
Other filing fees remain the same as
under the present law. The bill was
referred to the election committee.

PERl[Y PRESENTS
CONTROL BOARD BILL
Renews His Fight for Enamel
patton of Educational
Institutions

The first bill aimed at the board Of
control appeared in both house and
senate yesterday in the form of meas
ures proposing to divorce the state
university and the state normal schools
from the board of control.
The date of the severance of rela-
tons is placed at Aug. /. 1905. and the
bills, which are Identical. would take
from the board of control the manage
ment and control of the university and
the normal schools and of all financial
matters relating to them. While there
is nothing in the bills to indicate the
fact, 1t is proposed to restore to the
board of regents of the university and
the state normal board all the powers
OF management which they had enjoy
ed prior to the enactment of the origi-
nal board of control bill.
The bill in the house was introduced
by Representative George E. Perley.
of Moorhead, the location of one of the
normal schools, and in the senate by
Senator f. H. Peterson, also of Moor
head. Senator E. f. ComStock, of Hen-
nepin, is said to have bill along prac-
tieally the same lines ready for intro
duction, but If the bills introduced yes
terday are successful he will not pre-
sent his bill.
The measure proposed to the legisla-
ture of 1905 by Mr.. Perley goes farther
than did the bill introduced in the ses-
sion of 1908, which passed the house
but failed in the senate. That bill left
to the board of control full authority
in all financial matters relating to erec-
ton and construction, betterment and
repairs, improvements and mainte-
nance of the Institutions The Perley
bill of 1905 provides for an absolute
separation.
These bills must not be considered
as an attack on the board of control"
said Mr.. Perley yesterday. 1.-The pure
iy educational institutions of the state
ought never to have been attached to
the board of control and the sooner
everybody realizes it the better. The
Faribault and Owatonna institutions
are different In character and they
must stand on their own footing. It is
not fair to attempt to embarrass this
proposition by including with the uni
Versity and the normal schools institu-
tons entirely different in their scope.
nave every reason to believe that my
bill will pass both branches of the leg
lsiature this session. Members of the
board of control, I am informed, are
not opposed to it, and it will receive
support in quarters where two years
ago 1T was opposed"
