Commissioner Koiner Secures
Secretary Wilson'S Aid in
Furthering His Plans.
WILSON soUTH's FRIEND
Commissioner Convinced Cabinet
Officer Desires to Aid-lm-
migration Plan.

After highly satisfactory interview
with Secretary Wilson and certain rail-
way officials in Washington, Commission
er of Agriculture Koiner is back in the
CITY. perfecting schedules for the insti-
tute trains he will shortly send out over
the State for the benefit of tobacco, corn
and alfalfa planters.
While in Washington Mr.. Koiner was
given every opportunity the government
department offered for the development
of his plan. Secretary Wilson not only
manifested a great personal interest IN
the matter, but rendered very valuable
assistance by his suggestions and, above
all, by the steps he took to insure the
success of the work. Through the iTltlu-
ence of the secretary a corps of the
best-known experts in the country on the
raising of tobacco corn and alfalfa will
come to Virginia and travel over the
state, lecturilg to the farmers at differ
ent points and exhibiting the advantages
of proper culture. 1t costs as much to
raise a bad crop of tobacco as 1T does
to raise good crop. and this all-import-
ant fact Mr.. ISoner will attempt through
the experts to Impress upon the Virginia
farmer. The new and improved methods
are very simple. It Is said when they
are. once kiloWIl. 70 4lli'lhc tiieSs

lectures.
South's Friend.
"secretary WILSON," said Mr. Hoiner
Yesterday, lis a staunch friend of the
South and is much Interested IN the de-
Selopment OF this, section of Gthe coun-
try. A practical farmer himself he
knows precisely where the needs are
greatest. and he Is doing more than any
secretary we have had for long time
to meet those needs, He is a very capable
man and n very courteous one. He has
sent government men to the South and
stationed them there permanently to
work for the benefit of the farmer, and
he will continue and extend this good
work In the West, the secretary says,
the institute trains have proved n great
success Tho plan Is distinctly new in
Sthe South, but Nh Wilson expressed his
pleasure that It was being taken mp here
and thinks it will BIO OF great benefit.

time limit for the appropriation of $4,000
for the purpose of placing u statue OF
General Robert L. Lee In Statuary Hall
| in the National Capitol.
While 1t makes no other provision than
this the bill at once attracted attention
as referring to a matter that was the
sensation of the day in the last General
Assembly. The act of 1908, which became
law without the signature of Governor
Montague. fixed a time limit which has
since expired. The statue Is now being
prepared by Sculptor Valentine, Of this
city, but will not be completed for some
time. The amendment offered 10y Mr.. Cox
allows two more years after the adjourn
ment OF the present Legislature for
carrying out the provisions OF tho orig
inal bill.
Ihere Is nothing sensational or unusual
In the amendment itself, but it may offer
an Opportunity for some more hot
speeches on subject very close to the
hearts OF the Virginia people.
Provision is made In bill offered yes
terday by Delegate Harry Glenn, OF
Richmond, for the appointment Of police
justices in cities OF 10000 people and over
by the judges Of the Corporation or Hus-
,tlngs Court !s s
Under the bill the term Of police
Justice would be four years, and instead
of receiving fees the officer would be

tho country. The department has re-
ceiyed within the last few days a large
number of letters from England and
Scotland, some OF them giving vivid de-
scription OF the dest:tution there among
the poor. The desire of laborers to come
to this country appears very manifest.
Obviously the only thing necessary for
the Virginia board to do Is to send agents
abroad to make wise selections of who
shall. be allowed to come. This can be
done through the appropriation the Leg
islature will make and the farms OF
Virginia will at last be supplied with
laborers again

placed the Federal government in the
position of aiding the violators of local

and towns draw their water supply, but
no provision Is made In this respect for
the country districts. The effort OF Judge
Williams is simply to place the country
on the same footing with the cities and
to give 1t equal protection. The PROPOSE
ton. however, has provoked a howl from
tanners and others doing similar bus
mess, and preparations are being made
to send strong lobby to Richmond. Judge
Williams said last night that he was
hearing q good deal from the bill, and
that he anticipated considerable fight
over 1t.
Another fight that Is attracting much
attention is over Delegate Rew's bill. de-
signed to prevent crab fishing during the
spawning season.
Books and papers treating OF crabs and
their haunts and habits were called for
In The State Library yesterday, and those
interested in the success or the defeat
of the measure are evidently preparing
their arguments with some care.
AT meeting of the joint-committee
on special. private and local Legislation,

changes in the charter OF the city OF
Richmond were considered and agreed
to with one exception. The committee
turned the city down on the PROPOSE
ton touching the appointment of subor-
dinate officers. holding that the Consti-
tuition forbade the appointment in the
manner set forth in the amendment. The
other amendments relating to the treas

ton of water supply and use of streets

Red Wing, June 20. Undoubtedly
the most valuable fresh water pearl
in the world today has been found BY
a clamfisher, William Bates, In the
Wisconsin channel opposite this city.
1t is as large as a good-sized marble.
perfectly round and without a flaw,
and with a luster rarely equaled even
in small gems.
The pearl is translucent and almost
transparent, and when exposed to q
light glistens with marvellous coloring.
It's weight is eigEty-five grains, dia-
mond weight.
A pearl smaller than this and less
perfect sold for $4,000. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the true value of this
gem-perhaps $4,000, perhaps $780,
900, depending upon the rivalry be-
tween wealthy gem collectors.
Bates and his wife, who are among
the few remaining clam fishers here,
had been working hard in. a searching
sun, with little reward, and decided to
make one more drag. Mrs. Bates ex-
amined the clans and discovered this
fortune hidden in one of them. She
was almost overcome with joy, know.
ing they had stepped in one moment
from poverty to riches.
