New York, Sept. 16.-Georse W. Per
kins. member Of the firm Of J. p. MOT.
gan Z Co., and first vice president OF
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. was the star witness at yester'
DAYS session Of the special legislative
committee probing life insurance COM
pauies' methods, and his testimony
was replete with revelations in the de-
velopments OF finance as applied BY In
surance companies.
The climax Of the day came when
Mr. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry Of $4s,7o6 in ledger. marked
ordered paid by tho president
The check was made out payable to
T. p. Morgan & Co, and Mr.. Perkins
frankly stated It was contribution to
the national Republican committee.
and had been paid to Cornelius N.
Bliss. Mr.. Perkins said:
This payment was made after very
careful deliberations. II must not be
considered an ordinary contribution to
the campaign fund. II was paid be-
cause we felt that the assets OF the
New York Life would be jeopardized
by Democratic success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and In 1896.
This bomb caused a murmur OF con-
yersation about the room. which had
become packed with spectators. Stand
ing room was at premium. and every
one bent forward TO catch the testi-
mOny.
Pursuing the inquiry further. Mr.
Hughes brought out that this expendi.
ture was never brought to the atten;
tion Of the finance committee. the wiz
ness terming 1t purely executive 40

Mr.. Perkins here interposed: II
would like TO make one statement. The
fact that the check is drawn to J. p.
Morgan 4 Co. has no significance.
paid out the money and 1t was merely
because OF a convenience OF repay
ment that the check was made pay
able to J. p. Morgan & Co"
What other contributions to polit.
ical campaign funds have been made
by the New York Life?"
None to my knowledge"
Senator Armstrong queried about
the $4,000 check to the campaign
fund. He asked: Were YOU in n po-
sition to know OF other campaign con-
tributions?"
Il don't know: that is n question
that ought to be looked into. All cam
paign contributions should be given
the widest publicity. They ought to be
publicly known. and there ought to be
a law passed to that effect"

The Kansas whea. Belt.

The farmers Of the wheat belt. on
the whole. seem to be about the hap
piest agriculturists to be found. The
rapid growth OF the western counties
into the gigantic wheat-producing sec.
tion that 1t now is has offered ample
opportunity for all the farmers of
managing ability to build up moderate
fortunes and acquire large tracts of
land. These they have adorned with
splendid homes. orchards and shade
trees. and have stocked with fine cattle
and good breeds of all domestic stock.
The wheat belt is also "the creates,
grass land on the earth" That is. ma
tive grass grows there in profusion
and 1t makes the best grazing of any
grass crop. All these things have en-
abled the progressive farmers tc
surround themselves with everything
that goes to make rural life delightful

The objections from n farmers
standpoint to the education afforded by
city high schools. colleges and uniyer-
stiles are that they not only do not ed
ucate for the farm but that a farmers
boy is educated away from agriculture.

when fed singly and in various com

The forty-cight steers selected iol
the experiment were taken from 10.
that had been fed on alfalfa hay ana

on the beet fields and feeding upon pee'

in quality. They were two years OF
age with one or two In each lot prop
ably three years past. When the eA'
pertinent was started on December

between $50 and $50 pounds. They
were divided as evenly as possible INTO

rived at by Professors Carlyle ana
Griffith. who conducted the expert
ment:
]. An average feeder" steer two
years old will make gain OF 10
pounds per day on alfalfa hay alone
and'will require approximately twenty,
eight pounds OF hay to make one pound
OF gain.

3. A pound of ground corn is equal
In feeding value TO rs pounds OF al
falfa hay and TO nine pounds of sugar
beet pulp for feeding two.year-old fat
tening steers.
4. Sugar beet pulp at present prices
Is cheaper and better feed than ground
corn when fed with alfalfa hay for fat
teninE mature steers.
5. That 322 pounds o beet pulp is
equivalent in feeding value TO one
pound of alfalfa hay. when fed in con
junction with the hay, giving two-year-

feeds.
6. With alfalfa hay at s. ton. 1,

ground corn with the ha~. provided
the corn can be purchased at from So
to 90 cents per hundredweight.
Z. With poor alfalfa hay at s. per
ton, sugar beet pulp is worth sl.50 per
ton to combine with the hay for fat
tening mature steers.
s. Fattening steers will gain approx
imately a pound day more on a ra'
ton composed OF alfalfa hay. ground
corn and beet pulp than they will on a
ration made up OF alfalfa hay and
ground corn or on ration composed
OF alfalfa hay and sugar beet pulp.
and they viii gain almost one and Il

On the first train there was one car

nevertheless II was well loaded, IL
carried the provisions to augment the
barbecue that awaited the excursion
lists on their arrival at Hot Springs
The provisions were supplied by the
Chamber OF Commerce. under whose
auspices the DAYS functions were held.
IL was estimated that fully 1000 per
sons sat down to the barbecue.
The energetic citizens OF the honored
CITY were full OF enthusiasm. II could
not be expressed in an ordinary way,
but had TO be brought out quick and
strong. Dynamite was the only re-
source In this emergency. SO when
the smiling visitors came gliding over
the bright, new rails into the place
they were greeted with the resounding
roar OF high explosives. Some of them
were badly frightened. not being ac'

excursion train crashed 10 pieces, but
this was the only serious outcome OF
the joyous welcome.
The visitors were escorted imme'

were feasted upon roast oxen and
other substantial edibles.
The day was not only memorable
one for the people OF Grand county. but
also for the officials OF the Moffat road.

that place went wild with Joy over the

Personal Letter.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. ia letter ad.
dressed to President Roosevelt from
W. J. Bryan in which n plan for per
manent peace is suggested, was made
public here Thursday evening. Mr.
Bryan congratulates the President on
his success In bringing Russia and
Japan together. and says:
why not ask Congress for authority
TO submit all international questions
twhen agreement cannot be reached
by parties interested) to an impartial
board for investigation and report In.
vesugation will in nearly every case
remove the cause of complaint and
reconcile the parties. Questions which
a nation might be unwilling to submit
TO arbitration In advance could be set
tied by investigation by an impartial
international board.
'lt was glorious thing to end the
war between the Russian and the Jap.
anese nations, but 1t would have been
more glorious to have prevented the
war and saved the frightful loss OF
life. The moral prestige which our
nation now enjoys would in all prob.
ability enable It to lead successful
peace movement.
The congratulations which you have
received from the heads of European
governments strengthen the chances
OF success. II the leading nations OF
the world would enter into an agree
ment and Join in the creation of such
a board and pledge themselves to sub
init all disputes to the board for inves
tigation before declaring war. the dan
ger OF war would be reduced to n min
imun. Few men have had IL In theil
power to do SO much for humanity

FEELING of Affect Terror.

St. Petersburg. Feb. lS.-All through
the day a feeling of abject terror has
prevailed among the nobility, but
nothing of a tragic nature has oc-
Cured. Oppression. like the shadow
of doom, seems to be hanging over the
Russian capital. The emperor, tried
and perplexed, scarcely knows which
way to turn. He certainly loved Ser
gius. and the bitter cup he is drinking
is almost as much as he can bear.
Death seems to be lurking in the air,
but every %precaution has been taken
for the preservation of the lives of the
imperial family, who are virtual pris
oners in their palaces. There is much
quiet rejoicing among the revolution
aries.
The imperial family has been
warned not to venture out from be
hind their palace walls. The author.
tiles are realizing their impotency to
ward off the swift axe OF terrorism.
