FEDERAL OFFICERS TAKE
CHARGE OF MRS. CHADWICK
Woman's Attorney ForeibIy Denied
Access to Cell, Wakes Wroth
and Threatens Guard
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 5.-As the result
of a clash between the federal and
county authorities that has been on
since Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick arrived
in this city from New York as to who
had jurisdiction over the prisoners
career while she is in the county Jail,
the federal authorities tonight def
nitely stated that they would assume
such control in full authority.
Two deputy United States marshals
have alternated in guarding the way to
Mrs. Chadwick's cell. Not even her at
torney, j. P. Dawley was allowed to
see her today, because he had not OBJ
tained permission from the federal
officials. Dawley, who is very prom
inent lawyer asserted the prerogative
of his calling to see his client, but a
powerful deputy marshal refused him
entrance to the womens corridor of the
Jail Dawley was furious and said to
the marshal that if he had half as
much physical strength as he Had de-
termination he would throw the mar
shall out of the winGo ".
The trunk belonging to Mrs. Chad
wick was opened today by. Attorney
Louis Grossman. The result shows
nothing that will add materially to
Mrs. Chadwick's assets.

Communities

by Associated Press.
BUCYRUS. Ohio Jan. 5.-Postmas-

the government which is of interest
to every community where the rural
free delivery system is in force

tended for the owner of the box and
had been put there by some one pass
ing. The letters were contiscated and
sent to the government at Washing
ton with a request for a ruling.

ton of the carrier and said that all
mail found in any box without stamps

postage must be collected and taken
to the postoffice from which the route
is operated and held for postage. This
ruling means that the owner of the
mail box has absolutely no control

State of Nevada Take
Action
BY Associated Press.


RENO, New, Jan. 5.-Members of the
next general assembly of this state
have received word from the interior
department at Washington that Ne
vada will be expected to take steps at
the next session of the legislature to
stop the sale of liquor along the line
of irrigation canals that are being con-
structed in connection with the reclaim
alton work.
The department insists that the va
rious states that are enjoying the bene-
fits of the reclamation act must give
heed 10 the suggestion as the presence
of liquor resorts along the line of the
canals has resulted in many acts of
crime and seriously interfered with the
prosecution of work
The members of the assembly living
at Reno are heartily in sympathy with
the departments suggestion and will
press the bill as soon as the legisla-
ture convenes.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--The gov
ernments cotton report as prepared
by the agricultural and census bu-
reaus formed the subject of an ex-
tended discussion IN the house today.

ment's estimates and charged that the
inaccuracy Of the figures had created
a panic in the cotton market. The
question came up on q motion by Mr.
Wadsworth chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture, to lay on the table
the resolution presented by Mr.. Liv-
ingston several weeks ago calling upon
the secretary Of agriculture for infor-
nation regarding the method Of coll
lecting cotton statistics. The motion
to lay on the table prevailed, after
Messrs. Burleson of Texas, Wadsworth
Of New York Lowering of Massa-
chusetts and Sims of Tennessee had
vigorously defended the governments
estimates.
The house, on motion of Mr.. Hill of
Connecticut. then went into commit
tee OF the whole for the further con-
sideration OF the bill to improve cur
rency conditions.
For nearly an hour Mr.. Hill, with
the aid of an immense chart, cx-
planned certain figures bearing on
rates of interest on bonds in different
parts of the country.
Mr.. williams of Mississippi ridiouled
the figures of Mr.. Hill as "the suprem-
est sort of fallacy," and said that Mr..
Hill has so wrapped me UP in fig
ures that / don't know what will be-
come of my nervous system"
The bill was laid aside and the
house at 4:35 p. m. adjourned until
tomorrow.

The experiments were made in locali-

tinent. The environments, the infiu-
ence of which sugar beets require, the
cultivation and the period of artificial
fertilization, temperature, hours of sun
shine and cloudiness, elevation and lati-
tude and longitude are pointed out.
The results indicate that low temper
