Washington, D. c.. Sept. 13-Upon
the occasion of the recent visit of
members of the board of consulting
engineers of the Isthmian canal at
Oyster Bay, the President addressed
them a few remarks which will be
printed and presented to the mem
bers. He urged them to use all the
speed they could safely make in Co
ming to a decision as to the Vest
plan of digging the canal so that he
might have ample time for studying
the report before sending it to con
gress. He did not express himself
in favor of either a lock or sea le-
vel canal, and refrained from making
any technical observations, but Irg-
ed the members to retain their opin-
ions without the slightest hesitation
and send him their reports, not as
he should like to get them but as
he ought to get them.

opening day of the fair and that he
would umpire the several games of
the fair baseball tournament AS an
umpire for amateur base ball this is
going some Jeffries, although his
long suit is fighting, knows all
about base ball and has had plenty
of experience as an umpire. He is
man whose decisions are usually
respected, unless the teams happens
to be armed with a gattling gun.
He can be depended ON to be quite
fair and impartial and when he says
three strikes, you're Quits all
off. So far as the batter is concerned.
The coming of Jeffries is quite ON
achievement and a feather in the cap
of President Greer. The big prize
fighter is fancy in his prices and his
time is valuable. He can go almost
anywhere in the United States and
get paid for it, and he usually gets
big pay. The negotiations to bring
him to Albuquerque for the fair were
opened by Mr.. Greer in person dur
ing a recent visit in California and
for a while the result was in doubt,
but yesterday he received a ,ele
gram from Jeffries, sent from San
Francisco, making his acceptance Of
the offer unconditional.
With six crack amateur teams, all
of them making records, and with
James J. Jeffries to umpire the games
there seems to be fair reason to be.
lieve that we are going to have q
base ball tournament here next week
that will excite the fans and pretty
much every one else. Jeffries alone
as umpire, will attract the attention
of the entire west to the series.

Minot, S. D., Sept. 13.-The dead
body Of Charles Herzig has been
found by searchers, hanging to a
tree in a secluded ravine. Pinned to
his breast was a piece of wrapping
paper on which was written the fol-
lowing: My name is Charles Her
zig. Over thirty years ago I murder
ed and raped a young girl named
Lizzie E. Grombacher, near Youngs-
town, Ohio. Charles Sterling, an inno-
cent man, was tried, convicted and
hanged for the murder of the girl.
If my body is ever found, notify my
mother, Mrs. Catherine Herzig, at
Girard, Ohio
If Herzig had not left a written
confessions land threat of suicide at
the Byers ranch. his body might ne
yer have been found, as 1T was In
a spot seldom visited. Around his
neck was a piece of green yelling
such as Lizzie Grombacher wore at
the time she was murdered. A ranch
man named Olsen said today that
Herzig had showed him this yelling
and told him it was part of a veil
worn by a girl whom he had killed.
Herzig told Olsen that after COM
hitting the murder and exchanging
SHIRTS with Sterling he fed to War
rem. Ohio, and later to Pennsylvania.
After Sterling's execution he went to
Telluride, Colo, where he married.
Ohio peOple commenced to move IN,
he said, and becoming frightened he
deserted his wife and child and went
to Death Valley in California. Since
then he had been a wanderer. Olsen
thought Herzig demented and did
not credit his confession.

Odds Against Him.
Agriculture in the valley of the
Nile supports 543 people to the

in the river valleys of New Mexico
only one-half as large would mean
over twelve million people. In North

of harvest. He sows, but he does

is inseparable from the farmers work
wherever he depends upon the

Under irrigation his business be

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Some Sensational Admissions az to
Methods of Business.

New York, Sept. 13.-Frederick II.
Shipman, assistant treasurer of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
was examined regarding syndicate
accounts before the legislative insu.
rance investigating committee today.
After going into various syndicate op
erations appearing on the books of
the company, Mr.. Hughes, counsel
for the committee, asked Mr.. Ship
man: rs it fair to say that the New
York Life enters into agreement with
others and provides money for the
purchase of bonds, and then gives
the members of the syndicate the pro
fits of the sale?" Yes" answered
Shipman.
/. Does it mean that the New York
Life pays one half it's profits to bank
ers to get them to handle the syndi-
cate??"
''Yes, l think it sometimes advisa-
BILE in order to get the business"
Edmund Randolph, treasurer of
the New York Life, again took the
stand and gave details of the pur-
chase and resale of certain bonds
for joint account.
Fred Cromwell, treasurer of the
Mutual Life was recalled. He made
statement to the effect that It is
impossible for life insurance compa-
MES to seek investments nowadays
without the aid of syndicates. He
said that heretofore business could
be conducted through bond brokers.
but today it must be conducted thro'
a combination of big capitalists.
At the afternoon session Cromwell
testified that he had made a personal
profit Of $26.371 during the past Ava
years from syndicate operations in
which he personally and the Mutual
Life had participated.

TWENTIETH CENTURY STUFF
INGS FOR TURKEY AND GOOSE.

Note.-Recipes for preparing meats
and other dishes suitable for Christ
mas were given in the November, OF
Thanksgiving number.
On Christmas day, of all days, the
menu should show discrimination IN
stead of superabundance. The charac-
teristfc of ancient cookery was pro-
fusion: of modern, it is delfcacy and
refinement.
In preparing turkey or goose, the
progressive housewife omits the stu1t-
ing. that the juices and SAVIOR of the
bird may be retained in their entirety.
Sometimes an onion (sliced) is laid
within to obtain the desired flavor. An
edible garnish. substituted for the
stuffing is as follows:
SWEET POTATO AND ALMOND
CROQUETTES.-Ba sufficient sweet
potatoes to make three pints of pulp
So soon as they are soft, break apart
remove the pulp and pass through
potato ricer To each pint add scant
teaspoon of pulp, two tablespoons Oh
butter, one beaten egg, three table
spoons of blanched almonds tchoppeu
and pounded in mortar) and hot mlik
or cream to make of consistency TO
handle Form into shape, egg ana
crumb and fry in deep fat These may
be prepared for cooking and set ASIDE
To those who cling to old days ana
old ways it is gently suggested that
the oId-fa shiOned bread, sage and onion
stuffing is second on the list of mol
gestible foods. although dear to the
American heart. A compromise may
