LETTER WRITER ARRESTED
Wanted President and Government Of
ficials to Join "civic Cadets"

Wanted President and Government Or
ficiaIs to Join "civic Cadets"
Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-An investiga-
tion that followed the receipt of scores
of letters and circulars by President
Roosevelt, members of his cabinet
other government officials and CON
gressmen, urging them to join an or
ganiation called "The Civic Cadets OF
America. " resulted in the arrest in this
city of Benjamin Katchings, of Bir
mingham, Ala, who says he is son
of former Congressman w. B. Katch-
ings. of that state. No charge has been
made against Katchings, who is about
25 years of age, but he will be held
pending the action of his family, with
whom the police have communicated.
According to the secret service
agent Katchings has been sending let
ters to men of national prominence
urging them to join the Civic Cadets
The letters were accompanied by cir
culars and pamphlets on questions re
lating to the manner of running the
national government. A close perusal
of the literature failed to indicate any
precise purpose of the sender. The re
ceipt by President Roosevelt Of some
of the letters and literature was re
sponsible for the investigation. 1t was
learned that the literature, most OF
which was signed "Civic Counsellor OF
the Civic Cadets OF America" came
from this city, and after a search the
sender was located at local hotel
When arrested he wanted to send tele
grams summoning 1000 of his cadets
to rescue him from his enemies.
Katchings appears to be well edu'
Gated. and the police believe he Is

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
weight of Kernel and Size of Germ
as Affecting Vigor OF Plant.


as Affecting VigOr OF Plant.
There has been diversity of opin-
ion as to whether the vigor Of corn
plant is or is not governed in any way
by the weight of the kernel or the size
of the germ in the kernel from which
it grows. AS a result of experiments
on these points the following cOnclu-
sions are reported by the Maryland
experiment station:
First.-Experiments to determine if
the size of the kernels as determined
by the weight have any effect on the
vigor Of the plant show:
(a) The heaviest grains do not nee
essarily have the best terminating
qualities.
(b) Plants from the heaviest grains
attain the greatest height when sup
piled with moisture, but this need not
hold true in time of drought
(c) Plants from the highest bred seed
hold their vigor better than others dur
ing drought.
Id The heaviest grains do not nee
essarlly revive most quickly after
moisture has been supplied succeeding
drought.
Second. Experiment to determine
the relation between the size of the
germ and the vigor of the resulting
plant show:
(a) The terminating properties of
the kernels containing different sizes
of germs may be equal.
(b) As the plants grow older the
largest, hardest and most vigorous
plants come from the kernels with the
large germs.
(c) The plants from the kernels with
the largest germs withstand the
drought best.
These experiments are also consider
, ed as indicating that in the selection
Of seed corn the following points
should be observed:
First.-That there is not only a great
difference in the individuality of plants
coming from kernels from different
ears. but from kernels of the same ear.
Second.-High breeding is of more
Importance than weight or size OF
grain.
Third.-To insure a good stand and
a large yield none but large germed
kernels should be used.

Men Unearthed.


Washington, Pa, Jan. 24.-In hunt
ing for the murderers of Michael Car
razola, the wealthy Italian who was
shot at Dunlevy last week, Washing
ton county authorities have unearthed
a plot to assassinate some o. the lead
Ing men C. the country. They have Sc
cured evidence that among those
marked for death was Governor Pen
nypacker, of Pennsylvania. Letters
and papers are also in possession of
the authorities which decree the death
Of other leading men. The existence of
this band OF anarchists was unearthed
when Coroner Sipe and Chief Of Police
Logan, Of Moncngahela. began to fol
low up clues which indicated that Car
razola's death was due to the ma
chinations of the Italian BLACK
Hand" society The evidence
on which charges will be
based was discovered in a squalid
shanty near the mining village OF
Baird. In this house located in an OBJ
scure hollow were found papers and
documents pointing to a wholesale
assassination scheme. Anarchists in
many parts of the country are impli-
Gated and arrests in many sections are
looked for.

Cloth For Glass In Poultry House.

Cloth For Glass IN POULTRY houHNs
There is an increasing appreciation
of the fact that fowls need great
deal of pure air and an increasing tend
ency to substitute cloth for glass in the
windows of the poultry house.
An American Agriculturist writer
suggests an easy way. as outlined in
the accompanying sketch, to make trial
of this plan, with no great change Of
poultry mousse fixtures. Simply tack :
square of white cotton cloth on the out
side of the window. covering the space
occupied by the lower sash. The lower
sash can then be raised and trial made
of the cloth curtain, which lets the AIR
gradually flow in and out. with no
drafts. Try this plan and see if the
stock does not do better in every way.

Interesting Tests In Prospect.

DR.. Wiley of the department Of agrl-
culture has begun preparations for
series of cold storage tests. These tests
will continue through the winter and
spring. terminating probably on July /

chickens. ducks, eggs, vegetables and
other products have been carefully Sc
lected and marked and then placed in
cold storage In addition to these it is
understood that he will also have some
rabbits. venison, grouse, quail and 9TH
er game placed in cold storage shortly.
The final tests, of course, will not take
place until next year. but during the
time intervening notes will be made on
such changes as may take place in the

The Man Behind the EE1.

In a speech on the naval appropria-
,ion bill during its consideration by
she house at Washington Mr. Spark
man of Florida brought out incidental
~ the fact that the phrase "the man be
mind the gun" can be traced back to
Napoleon and very probably orignat-
cd with him. Mr.. Sparkman said: 1t
las been said that Napoleon upon hear
ing of the victory of Jackson at New
Orleans. with his handful of American
soldiers. over the veterans Of the Brit
ish army who had conquered him, sent
to America for the purpose of obtaining
samples Of the guns that had wrought
such havoc among General Pakenham S
forces in that great battle, but when
his messenger returned, stating that
the weapon used was the ordinary flint
steel hunting rifle of the American
frontiersmen, he exclaimed: I see how
it is. 1t was not the guns, but the
men behind the guns. Had such sol
diers as these could conquer the
world"

the divorce problem by all the States
was defined at the session of the con-
gress yesterday by Francis Lynde
Stetson, of New York. in three words
-deeency, publicity, comfy. He
would have the law of the States inn
pressed with the sacred character of
the marriage relation, so that it should
not be entered into lightly nor dis
solved on small occasion. He would
have it dissolved, on the grave oc-
casions the law shall recognize. in
public-in the open eye of the court
and not in the darkness of secrecy.
He would have each State recognize
the standards of public policy de-
clared in the law of all the other
States and not permit its tribunals
to perpetrate a fraud upon the juris-
diction or the citizens of other COM
monwealths.
Briefly stated, that is the view Of
the congress and of the great army
of good citizens who have wrought
manfully in the past toward the
fruition of the general hope The
plan is not extravagant, or its attain
ment impossible, or even improbable
Perhaps some years of fighting stand

For Uniform Divorce Laws.

Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed upon the purpose and inspiration
of the congress for securing uniform
divorce legislation which is now in
session in Washington. Wherever
one stands within the wide latitude
of opinion on the general subject
unless it be in the camp of those
who oppose all regulation OF the re-
lation of the seXes-there will be
agreement with the proposition that
uniform laws are an exigent need.
The congress viii not hope, it is
inferred, to secure the enactment of
legislation by the several States de-
finlng with a single accord the legal
grounds for annulment of the mar
riage bond The members of the
congress are men of sense and con-
serVatism and too well eognizant of
the difficulties of such a campaign 10
enter upon il at this stage of the
countTy's progress and diversified
public opinion. They will be content,
for the time, with the attainment of
an ambition much more modest in
itself and yet in its fulflllment offer
ing the largest hope of good to lovers
of the family and the home.
This purpose as to the treatment Of
