VIII Educate Consumers to Pay

For Agricultural Products All
Over the Globe.
KING IS INTERESTED.

Rome, Feb. 1o.-David Lubin of
Sacramento, Cal. who has been stay
ing here for some months perfecting
the plans for the establishment of an
international chamber of agriculture,
speaking today to the correspondent of
the Associated Press said:
'I do not wish to be interviewed as
anything coming from a single person
will diminish the importance of the
SCHEME, which is and must remain the
initiative of King Victor Emmanuel,
who has OWNED the true needs of the
people throughout the world and who
will become one of the greatest SOW
ereigns in history if the project is car
ried out successfully"
Mr.. Lubin has had numerous inter-
views with Minister of the Treasury
Luzzati and prominent economists and
agriculturists. In a report on the sub
ject Mr.. Lubin says:
''The purpose of the international
chamber of agriculture is not to create
abnormal conditions but to bring about
and maintain as normal conditions
which are now abnormal. No consumer
should object to pay normal prices even
If some of them be higher than those
now prevalent If consumers under
stood the reason for this they would
not only consent to pay normal prices,
but would eagerly desire it as in the
end prices would become equalized.'

ITS DEATH PLANNED.
Statehood Bill to Remain in Hands of
House Committee.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The expressed
opinion of Republican leaders of the
house today indicates that the result of
the caucus to be held this afternoon on
the statehood question will be a strict
adherence to the caucus action of the
party April Is, last, on the same ques-
tion. This action took the form of a
resolution that two states should be
made of the four territories. With this
resolution repeated the disposition of
the statehood bill will be a simple mat
ter. 1t has, under the rules of the
house, been referred to the committee
on territories. There is nothing to in
idcate that this committee will bring
the bill into the house at the present
session of congress. This course will
obviate the risk of subjecting the meas
ure to a motion to concur in the senate
amendments to the bill with the con-
sequent opportunity for the success Of
the motion through a union of the Dem
ocratic vote and sufficient Republican
members to make majority. The ad-
vocates of the bill in its present form
claim to have forty-five Republican
members of the house who viii vote
with the Democrats to concur. This is
three times the number required. It is
to obviate the success of this plan that
the bill will be allowed to remain in
committee until the expiration of the
Fifty eighth congress, March 4, next.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 1O.-A merger
of half a dozen of the largest cream
cries of the west and including up
wards of two dozen smaller plants
which will practically dominate that
industry in six western states, reaching
out to take in others. has been an
nounced by the directorate of the
Beatrice Creamery company which has
its headquarters and principal plant
in LincOnln. The largest concerns in
cOrDorated in the new company which
will continue to be know as the Beat
rice creamery company, include the
plants of Beatrice Creamery company
in Lincoln. The largest concerns in
Teton Creamery company of Denver
the Continental Creamery company of
Topeka, the Omaha and Nebraska
company of Omaha and the Waterloo
company of Des Moines, Iowa. The
capitalization of the new company is
$3,000,000- George z. Haskell OF Lin
coin. president of the Beatrice Cream
cry company is acting assistant preSi-
dent of the new company but the new
board of directors will meet shortly
and perfect a formal organization. The
new concern mas peen incorporated
urder the laws of Iowa at Des MOines
and will have its headquarters in the
Iowa capital although its main office
will be located in Lincoln.
Mr.. ]. S. Parks, president of the Con-
tnental Creamery company of this city
when shown the above telegram said:
We have long had under considera-
tion an arrangement with other large
companies of the west, whereby we
could place butter on the markets of
the country in larger and more uni
form lots, thus increasing its value to
the trade and enhancing its price; en-
abling US thereby to pay a higher price
for butter fat.
The details have now been worked
out and it may be consummated as the
dispatch states. Any move in this di-
rection, however, which is made, will
not change the location or Importance
of the plant of our company, and the
Continental Creamery company will re-
main as it has always been, one of
Topeka's largest and most progressive
institutions
Our policy and business at our
headquarters in Topeka has been one
of constant extension and expansion
We have only recently completed a
large addition to the building here.
During the last two weeks we have ad-
ded much new machinery, including six
Disbrow churns, made especially heavy
for US and costing over $1,000
These churns will increase our ca
pacity to about 12O00 pounds of butter
per day.
I'VE have about $50 skimming sta
tions now and this year expect to add
200 more stations contributing the raw
material to the Topeka plant
I'VE have many improvements in
view for the coming summer and the
number of employees and its output Will
advance rapidly as in the past

GOVERNOR HOCH GONE.
He Goes to Marion to Stay Until
Sunday.

Governor Hoch went to Marion to-
day, and will return to Topeka Sunday
afternoon. He left the office with only
time to catch Santa Fe No. 5, and re-
marked to Tom McNeaI as he put on
his gloves: I turn the whole works
over to you. Have a good time"
There is nothing much to do re-
piled the private secretary, except to
open and peruse letters from retiring
justices of the peace. The rural justices
seem to have a spite against them
selves. No fewer than 0of them have
cashed in their designations since I
have been here. That is an average of
three a day. Well. the job of justice of
the peace in the rural districts is no
snap. They only have a case about
once a year, and if it happens to be
cold weather so he can't hold the ses
sion in the barn, he has to take the
mob into his parlor and let the jury
and witnesses spit on the carpet. This
causes. trouble with Mrs. Justice, and
when a higher court reverses him on
some case he decides that Justice of
the peace is an empty honor. His res
ignation arrives by the next mail"
Then the private secretary began pre-
pairing a. message to the house
A number of people were waiting to
see the governor when he hurried out
to catch his train with II minutes 10

WILL RIPLEY RESIGN?
Persistent Rumors That He Will Re
tire in Favor of S. NJ. FELTON,.

Chicago. Feb. 10.-While no imme-
diete official changes of importance on
the Santa F'e are expected as result
of the change in financial control, the
belief is general in railway circles that
before many months E. 2. Ripley will
retire as president, and will be sue
ceeded by some man selected by E. H
Hartman 1t is known that the plans
approved by the directors of the Santa
Ee call for the construction OF a large
amount of new track, double tracking
of the main line, and the building of
branches and extensions in the South
west.
surprise should Mr.. Hartman favor
the election of S. NJ. FELTON, as presi-
dent of the Santa Fe system. The
manner in which he reconstructed the
Alton railroad, bringing it to the per-
remarkab bly, low, enhanced his great
reputation as a railway engineer and
manager.
Asgreat deal of interest is being talk
en- in the results which will follow the
entrance of the Hartman, or Rookie
feller representatives upon the Santa
Fe board This much is certain In
aSmuch as the Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe are parallel sys-
TENS to a very large extent. it is GER
tain that there will not be an actual
consolidation of the management un-
less there is a radical change in the
laws. The chief object of those who
have acquired controlling interest
in the great system is the elimination
of competition in rates.
one thing assured is that the South
ern Pacific railroad in future will not
have to pay higher rates than other
roads to the Santa Fe on coal ship
nenfs bv the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company In the case just turned
over to the bureau of justice by the
Interstate commerce commission 1t
was found that for years the Santa
Fe collected IS cents less than its tariff
rates on each ton of coal it delivered
to the Southern Pacific at Ell Paso.
It gave twice as big a rebate on coal
consigned to the El Paso and South
western railroad and industries on that
line when the coal was supplied by
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company.

self; that he alone was responsible
for the deed, impeIled to it by an evil
power beyond his control and that he
recognized his sentence was just
McCue listened calmly to the death
warrant and when Sergeant Rogers
asked: do you think that if 1 gave
you my arm you would be able to
walk to the scafold?" He replied
calmly: ''I can walk without your
aid" On the way he stumbled once
or twice and the officers proffered as
sistance 1t was not needed however.
There was no weakn esS- McCue had
merely slipped on the frozen snow
Watched by a silent crowd of per-
haps thirty persons McCue mounted
the scaffold- Not muscle of his face
moved. Rogers and two guards as
cended the scaffold with him. The
prisoner was placed over the trap, his
arms were pinoned and his ankles
strapped. The black gown was folded
around him and the moose was ad-
justed. All this while McCue stood
without moving. He did not utter a
word. The guard took hold of the
rope that was to release the trap
Rogers, standing alone upon the scaf-
and lifted his hand The trap fell
His neck was broken.
