Fish's friends declare that his
fighting capacity had been very
much underestimated." w. H.
Truesdale, president Of the Lacka-
wanna railroad, is lined up against
Fish. Though it Is said that great
influence was brought to bear upon
Thos. F. Ryan, he declined to take
part in the railroad war.
The suggestion is made that H.
H. Rogers interest in the warfare
has something to do with his an
tagonism for his arch-enemy, Thos.
w. Lawson of Boston. Lawson, as
the holder of large number OF
insurance policy holders proxies,
has made strenuous efforts to get
Stuyvesant Fish to accept the chair
manship Of a proxy holding COM
mittee. Fish refused on a number
of occasions, but he made it clear
that he was favorably disposed to
Lawson's cause.
If Hartman succeeds in wrestling
control of the Illinois Central from
Fish, the great Union Pacific line
from the Pacific to Omaha would
be carried into Chicago, and a con-
meeting link could be given north
and south with Chicago and New
Orleans, connecting the Southern
Pacific.
The story that merger between
the Union Pacific and Illinois Cen
trail, with Hartman as president,
was contemplated, was denied some
weeks ago.
The Illinois Central railroad op-
crates through the states of Hi
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota, South Dakota, Kentucky,

SMOOT CASE
Will Probably Not Be De-
cided at This Session Of
Congress = Protest at
Delay.

Washington, May 20.-The consider
alton of the case of Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, before the senate
committee on privileges and elections
was postponed until Monday.
The belief is growing among the
anti-Smoot senators on the commit
tee that the whole case will go over
for decision at the next session of
congress. Chairman Burrows is pro-
testing against such delay, but it is
becoming apparent that once the rate
bill is out of the way it will not be
possible to induce senators to stay
here and discuss the constitutional
questions involved in the attempt to
oust a senator from his seat.

WRONGS
The Terrible Story Of
Shame and Drudgery
Forced Upon a Girl BY
Uncle and Aunt Told
in Court.

New York, May 20.-The terrible
story of Josephine Terranova's wrongs
the life of shame and drudgery forced
upon her by her uncle and aunt which
finally led to the madness in which
she stabbed to death both her rela-
tives, and for whose murders she is
now on trial for her life-was told to
| the jury in Justice Scott's court.
Former Judge Palmieri, counsel for
the girl, told it in his opening address.
The girl herself, he promised. would
tell it more fully, and her husband
and others would corroborate it.
The address was a plea of insanity,
degenerate mind due to diseased and
drunken parentage, and abuse, and
sudden fury of madness caused by a
realization of her wrongs. 1t was also
an appeal to the unwritten law.
There is a higher law than the law
of the land, than the law of the stat
ute books" said Mr. Palmieri 'No
woman relinquishes the right to de-
fend her honor, her name, her home
and her virtue. She inherits that right
and you cannot take it from her."
The accused girl wept silently as
her counsel told the story of how she
was brought here from Italy at the
age of 10 years by her uncle and aunt,
who were her sponsors in baptism;
how she was deflled at II by her uncle,
with the connivance of his wife, and
from that time kept a prisoner, from
school, from playmates, from priest,
from even her mother for six years;
how she was made a drudge, work.
ing daily from early morning until
late at night, scrubbing, cooking,
washing and mending not only for her
uncle and aunt but for IL men in their
employ. He told of her marriage,
from which the mother was barred,
and how the aunt, fearing exposure.
prayed that the newly married couple
might "die tonight" He told how ex-
posure came when the girls unclIe,
again desiring to get possession OF
her, limited to her husband that she
was impure how she confessed and
was driven forth by her husband and
denied shelter by her mother, and in
despair heard the voice saying:
Kill them! Kill them!" and went
on her errand of vengeance.
REAL GUILTY ONES.
"The real guilty ones are dead" he
said, "and when they were stricken
| it was not the act of this girl who
held the knife but the vengeance of
an Almighty God"
A dramatic scene followed the
swooning of Mrs. Theresa Pollari, the
girls mother, while testifying in her
daughters defense. Henry F. Bruning,
one of the jurors, had to leave the
room, being greatly affected by the
pathetic sight. Mrs. Pollari soon re-
covered and resumed her testimony.
She was brought to the court house
from sick bed and said: 81 will do
what | can to save my daughters life,
even II / die in the attempt" She
spoke in whispers to the interpreter
and said that Riggio (the uncle) had
never allowed her to see her daugh-
ter alone. At one time he slammed
{ the door in her face when she tried
to see her daughter last fall. She ad-
mitted, however, that when Josephine
had been put out Of the house by her
husband, she refused to harbor her

Calves on Skim Milk.

Eight calves formed a group at the
Nebraska experiment station, and each
Of the three groups was fed on . ra-
ton similar to the rations of the other
groups except In the butter-fat substi-
tute. I. NJ
The calves were fed for six months
and records kept of gain in weight,
amount Of mood given, and cost Of "a
ton.
The conclusions Of the experiment
were as follows:
Linseed meal is not only an excellent
food for replacing butter fat in skim
milk for calf feeding, but also an eco
nomical food in comparison with 9TH
ers. Corn-germ oil meal gave about a.
good results ~ lHseed meal and may
be recommended Is q calf food.
Corn oil In this test proved too ex-
rensive and required too much work
for profitable calf rearing. A two per
cent. oil mixture proved rather laxa-
tive for obtaining the best results.
The calves fed linseed meal and

dition at the end OF the test and most
Of them were weaned.

Horticulture
Trees on Prairies.

In the states of the middle ives,
there is pressing need of more trees,
both for wood and for windbreaks and
shelter-belts. This need has been felt
since the prairies were nrst settled, but
the attempts made to supply 1t have.
as a rule, fallen short OF the Dement'S
which might have been secured. The
early planting was done chiefly for the
sake of ornament or shade; the useful
ness Of the species for wood was sell
dom considered. In many cases, also,
tlees were planted outside of the range
to which they were adapted, and on
soil and in locations unfavorable 70
them. On the other hand, many valU-
able species were neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various kinds
CT trees can be grown in these regions
which will serve just as we'll for pro-
lection and ornament rs those which
have been most used, and which at the
same time will furnish valuable wood
For several years the forest service
has been been investigating this sub
ject, says the Prairie Farmer, with re-
suits which are recognized throughout
the prairie region as of great practical
value. The work consists of field
studies Of the existing forest growth,
10th natural and planted, Of its reia-
ton to soil and climatic conditions.
and Of the effect Of various cultural
methods.
In carrying on the work forest serv-
ice field parties examine and make
measurements Of representative groves.
From these measurements volume and
yield tables are made which show the
returns In cordwood. posts, stakes ami
lumber to be expected In given time
for each Of the species studied. In ad-
dition to the measurements, the char
acteristics Of growth and reproduction
Of the trees are noted, and valuable
data on the natural distribution and ad-
visable planting range obtained.
The work in the eastern part Of the
two Dakotas. western Minnesota, I'LL
nois, eastern Nebraska and western
Kansas has been published, giving in
formation concerning the species most
suitable to the locality, and telling
how and where to plan them. Bulletins
Of the same character covering other
states are in preparation. This sum-
mer Iowa was studied, and later other
states of the middle west, until the
whole region is covered. Considerable
tree planting has been done in some OF
these states, occasionally with COM
rlete success; but there have been
many total failures. and many at
tempts successful only In part. Az =
rule, the lack of success was due to
lack Of knowledge how and what to
rlant. But these plantations. whether
successful or not, provide valuable OBJ
iect lessons In respect to future plant
