Feeding Grain b Hogs.

xGy lF

Va. Experiment Stadon.
Blacksburg. Aug. 20.
The question Of the condition of
grain Tor hogs IS one that affects
the rate and economy OF gains 10 a
certain extent. In the test herewith
reported. grain soaked for u hours
was compared with unsoaked grain.
with IS head Of hogs for a period OF
81 days.
The IS hogs were divided into 2
groups OF 10 each. The grain fed
was corn meal. with re6 dog -four 10
furnish protein. For the lrSt 81
DAYS equal parts OF these two foods
were used. and the remainder OF the
PERIOD ? parts OF corn meal and one
pan OF red dog was substituted The
iced for group ! was soaked FOR IL
hours. OF from one feed 70 the next.
The feed FOR group ? was fed IN the
form OF slop made al tine or feed
ing. The hogs were fed a. they

the experiment. The average initial
weight OF group ! was S4.7S lbs.
and thzt OF group 2. SS.1 lbs.
The feeding began On April nth.
and confined untl June 18th Dur
ing the first PERIOD group made ar
average gain o. 3 pounds as against
30 pounds for group 2 During

The gains o. group were much Il

and for group 2. 80 lbs. making an
average of 80 lbs. per head per day
more for group l than for group z.
AS q result of this difference. group
! made a profit where group 2
showed loss.
The corn meal used was valued al
SO. 90 a ton. and the red dog flour
at S25.7S.
Il required 500 pounds of feed for
100 pounds of gain with group i.
and 81 with group 2; or 81 pounds
of grain per 100 pounds of gain less
with the group getting soaked than
with that receiving unsoaked grain.
The cost per 100 pounds of gain
with group was S4.2S. and SS.2S
with group 2. The cost per 100
pounds Of gain with group / was
sl.Os less than with group ?. The
profit per head with group l was

LAST EFFORT
 OF CONTESTS
IA Scheme to Flood Senate
 With TeIegrdmS
The Friends of the Territory Should Make a Move Today to Meet Them.

There are not many joint statehood folks in Phoenix but the very few are capable of making a whole lot of noise. Notwithstanding the gloomy outlook for the joint statehood bill they are protesting to feel a great deal of con- fidence and are saying that the matter will not be settled until the votes are counted in the senate on Friday.
 Some of them are darkly limiting of a "card up the sleeve" of a move which is to be made at the last mom- ent to turn the tide of battle. It is understood that they have been plan ming what is known in political cam paigns as a "roorback They and their isolated brethern thrOuehout the territory have been writing letters to Beveridge and these letters, with telc- grams which will probably be sent n great numbers within the next day or two have been timed to reach the sen ate in the last stage of the struggle.
 They are intended to show that the real sentiment of the territory in the matter of joint statehood has been mis- represented and that whatever Opposl- ton there was to it in the beginning has almost entirely disappeared and that the people of Arizona are crying for joint statehood just as children used to cry for castOria.
 l. would not be thought at first glance that this movement would cut
 much of a figure and probably it will not. Again, if it were not offset ;t might change a wavering senator who
 has himself very little interest in the statehood fight and is only voting as ne thinks a majority of the people of the territory would Ike to have him vote. In the very nature of things there could not be many letters and teIe- grams signed by persons who either have no existence or have not been consulted.
 There is a possible danger in this scheme and it should be headed off.
 It can be done very easily and it should be done today or a the farthest by to- morrow. Every influential man in | Phoenix should send a telegram to Senator Foraker or tC some other | friendly senator whom he knows call | ing his attention to this eleventh hour movement and denouncing the false i hood which it is intended to dump Into ! the senate. Hon. NJ. A. Smith and Former Governor Murphy should be | put on their guard The board of su- 1 pervisors. the board of trade, the city i council should also take the matter up and wire the senate. stating that the | sentiment against joint statehood in | Phoenix and vicinity is as solid as it
 has been at any time
 There should also be telegraphiC communication with the other twons
 of the territory requesting that the same kind of representations be made 1 by them at once to the senate.
 In telegrams to the senators about | this they should be reminded that the | best test of the sentiment of the ter ritOry on the subject of joint statehood will be afforded by the adoption of the | Foraker amendment

INVASION
 OF CHINA
A Project of the Army
 General Staff
hr. Hale and Other Republican Senators Score the Growing Ten. dency Toward hilitarism.

Washington, Mar. 6.-The question of the enlargement of the medical de- partment of the army occupied the major portion of the time of the sen ate today. The question arose in con- nection with the consideration of a bill for the displacement of contract sur geons by physicians, who shall be giv- en the rank of army officers and the reorganization of the medical corps.
 MT. Hale criticized the bill as an en- tering wedge for an increase of the army and as a part of a general plan of the general staff which he charged with a purpose to increase the army's importance. In his remarks the sen atOr said that the general staff was disposed to encourage an invasion of China.
 Messrs. Carter and Gallinger spoke in somewhat the same vein of objec- tiOn as did MT. Hale, while the bill was defended by Messrs. Warren, Blackburn and others. The bill was not disposed of. The only speech of the day on the statehood bill was made by MT. Long, who advocated the pas sage of the bill as reported by the committee on territories.
 Secretary Taft occupied a seat on the floor of the senate while the army bill was under consideration.

ry the debate. Preceding this, MT. Fucker, of Missouri, brought forth ar guments to sustain the democratic idea of tariff for revenue only and he closed with the prediction that these ideas would prevail with w. J. Bryan as the standard bearer.
 MT. Lacy, in discussing the home market and the German tariff, initiat- ed a lovely fire of argument on both sides and which was participated in generally. Near the close of the day MT. Williams the minority leader talked tariff for more than an hour. MT. Williams set forth the various bills he has introduced and asserted that 25 per cent or the cost of the commodities would cover as a rule the actual cost of the labor in their pro- duction.
 The Indian bill still remains before the house, no effort to limit the gen eral debate having been made.

BRITISH ARMY'S
 OLD ESTIMATES
The Liberal Government not Meeting
 Expectation of Retrsnchment.

London, March 6.-A memorandum attached to the army estimates was is sued tonight. It estimates expenditures for the current year of the army at s14S.63O.OO0 which is a reduction of only $S5.000 from the previous year. As in the case of the navy, the new government has simply adopted esti- mates prepared by their predecessors. Thus including S1SOOOO,OOO for the navy. the nations defense bill is nearly $33O, 900 OOO which destroys all possi- biIity of a large budget surplus or Q substantial reduction of taxation.
 The liberal papers are disappointed that the government has seen no way to effect a greater reduction in nation al expenditure. which the country nat urally hoped from d liberal govern ment pledged to retrenchment. espe- cially as the cost of the aFHnsz-is-EaaKs $50, 100000 yearly more than it was a decade ago. At the same time it is considered by the liberal press that the army should have a rest for year from the constant projects of reOr- ganization which characterized it's ad- ministratiOn under MT. BrOdTick and Mir ArnOld-F Forster.
 Therefore MT Heldane's decision to consider the matter maturely before proposing a scheme of reduced expen- allure is generally approved by the liberal newspapers and its is expected that in the course of time he will sub init a plan enabling such reduction through greater reliance upon the mil litia and volunteers.
 A memorandum attached to the army estimates was issued this even ing. It contains the announcement that War Secretary Haldane does not in tend to proceed further with former War Secretary Arnold -Forster's scheme for the formation of a separate branch of the regular army for home service with a two years term of serv- vice with the cOlOrs.
 There will be no large scheme for army reforms this year and no de- crease in the estimates, as expected, provision being made for the formation of a reserve of civilian surgeons and also for brigading volunteer infantry. brigadiers being responsible for the year-round training and inspection of the volunteers.

INVESTIGATION OF
 NEW YORK POLICE
To Follow the Trial of HurdereSs
 Bertha Claiche.

New York, March 6.-The trial of Bertha Claiche for the murder of Emh Gerdron came to a sudden termina- ton today when the young French woman pleaded guilty. on the advice of her counsel to manslaughter in the first degree. That this. however, IS not the end of the case and that an at tempt will be made to continue it as an investigation of a certain class of policemen, with Bertha Claiche as states evidence. was made plain by statements both of the judge before whom the trial was conducted and by the defendants own counsel.
 Supreme Court Justice Davis, in re- mdnding the young woman for sent ence until March 29th, and in dismiss ing the jury said:
 There are many features of tne case which induced the court to ac- cept and the defendant to offer the plea of manslaughter in the first de- gree: and I think when the final re- suits shall have been reached and the sentence imposed the court will see that the interests of justice will be served"
 The defendant was then carried to the Tombs prison. struggling hyster- ically with the police officers and screaming. Possible charges against policemen growing out of this case have been foreshadowed from the be. ginning of the trial. The prosecuting attorney declared that Gerdron was lured to his death on July Sta by Q plot in which the policemen assisted the defendant. Miss Claiche has claim ed in justification of the shooting that GerdrOn had kept her in virtual slave ry and had forced her to the streets to make a living for him.
 Abraham Levy, Bertha Claiche' 's counsel, said late today that he had pledged that she will tell all she knows about the relations of the police with the women of the tenderloin.

Practically Everybody Else Admits the AdOp-
 ton of the FOraker Amendment
Interest has Gone Beyond Next Friday Centering the Probable Action of the House When the Bill is Returned.

Washington, D. C., Mar. 6.-(SpeciaD It looks now as if the vote would be very close" said Mir Beveridge today when questioned regarding the out come of the vote in the senate on the statehood bill. This is very close to an admission by the chief lieutenant of the "anti-square deal" movement that the FOraker amendment is likely to be adopted. MT. Beveridge has tried to maintain a bold front ever since the day fixed for the vote, but it has been uphill work and those who know him we'll say that there is no doubt that he is prepared to see his pet measure shOrn of it's strength
 He has held several consultations with the president lately and the pres ident has eXerted himself in the hope of changing enough votes to kill the amendment, but the general opinion at the capitol is that the senate will split the bill in two with the Foraker amendment and thus save Arizona from the fate which her enemies are seeking to force upon her.
 An indication of the drift of senti- ment regarding the bill is found in the fact that yesterday the speech of Sen ator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, in support of the iniquitous bill. was lis
 
 that Senator Lodges speech today also failed to attract attention. Every sen atOr has made up his mind definitely how he intends to vote and speeches and arguments will not have any ef- feet.
 There is considerable speculation re- garding-the fate of the bill if it is re- turned to the house with this amend ment- Certain republicans say that the house will positively refuse to con- cur and that final action on the meas ure will be deferred until the next ses- sion of congress.
 ] The statehood insurgents who put up such a game fight against the bill when it passed the house are prepar- ing to solidify their forces and renew the struggle if the senate sends the bill back for conference. The house managers, acting upon the suggestion of the speaker, are making ready to force the senate to recede, or. if that is unsuccessful, to permit it to die. ] According to the present program after the bill is sent back by the sen ate the house republicans will hold q conference, for the purpose of reach ing conclusion as to the policy to be pursued. The speaker is insisten- | that the house bill shall stand The insurgents boiled forty-three votes against the joint statehood bill and claimed that they could have had sev- eraI more if their votes would have 2 been sufficient to defeat the bill It is 1 now their purpose, so they claim. to get their men in line, remain away from the conference. and vote 10 ac- cept the senate bill. The house. man. agers and the insurgents are both claiming the victory before the fight begins, and it remains to be seer whether the insurgents will go to pieces as they did before.

The Emperor is Left With as Absolute
 Power as Ever
The Congress be Dissolved at Any Time by Imperial Will and in the Interim the Car May Proclaim Laws.

St Petersburg. March G.-The full text of the imperial manifesto and ukase relative to the national assem- bIv and the reorganized council of the empire, features of which have already been telegraphed to the Associated Press, throws 9 flood oe light on the purpose of the government to keep firm check OF the new Russian parlia- meut and to exclude certain subjects from consideration by the peoples rep resentatives.
 The composition of the council of the empire, or upper house of the na tionaI assembly. with one-half ap- pointed by the emperor and twenty six elected from the nobility and clergy not counting scattering supporters from other classes, seems to insure d conservative if not pliable majority in the council to block the national as sembly should the majority of the lat ter be in opposition to the crown.
 The government carefully retains power to promulgate temporary" laws during recesses of the parliament and hS the parliament IS SuDJeCJ to ulSSO- lution by imperial ukase, the govern ment is thus in a position in time ot stress to rid itself of an obnoxious le- gislature and proclaim such laws as it deems necessary to meet the emer- Eency.
 A feature of the law which seems ef- fectually to bar the reds from mem bership in the national assembly is a provision exacting from persons elect cd an oath of fidelity to the emperor autocrat and Holy Russia"
 The most significant article, how ever, is one retaining certain prOvi- sions of the existing law which is men toned only by number This innocent looking provision is far reaching, plac- ing beyond the jurisdiction of the par lament and consigning to existing commissions Of the council of the em- pire. composed solely of members ap- pointed by the crown for consideration the following:

Austria, it is understood, has prepared a proposition favoring the German view. It is however possible that this will not be presented to the conference, the German delegates expressing the opinion that it does not sufficiently support their contention.
 Considerable speculation prevails concerning the attitude of the United States. Both the British and French delegates are inclined to the belief that America will soon break her present silence.

A DENVER PIONEER.

Denver. March 6.-News has reach ed here of the death of Henry C. Brown. one of Denver's most promi- nent citizens, which occurred at San Diego, California, today. Heart failure and general breaking down from old age is given as the cause. MT. Brown was born at St. Clairsvilie, Ohio, in 1920.
 One of the monuments of his enter prise is the Brown Palace hotel in this city, said to have cost $1,500,000. The ten acres which constitute the pres ent site of the capitol were donated to the state by MT. Brown.
