KANSAS CITY
POLICE STIR
ROtteRness Being UneaTthed

Kansas City, May 19.-Govern-
or Joseph W. Folk left for JEFF
ferson City today after q con-
ference with the local police
commissioners regarding graft
charges at l o'clock this morn
ing. He had but a few hours
sleep last uight and early today
continued comforting with per-
sons from different walks Of life
who made him acquainted with
various phases of police corrup-
tion. Among his callers were
policemen and police detectives,
who are said to have laid bare
numerous Irregularities, evident
ly in the hope Of gaining immun-
ity for themselves.
Governor Folks investigations
have apparently convinced him
that there is a very strong al
lance existing between the
Metropolitan Street railway and
the police force. A high official
of the police department is
authority for the statement that
within two years this alleged
alliance has been encouraged by
the heads of the departments.
Mayor Birdsley has. repeatedly
charged that policemen have
been over vealous in serving the
street car company when pas
sengers have been injured in ac-
cidents. 1t was charged that in
stead of taking steps promptly
to relieve the sufferings of the
injured, policemen have fire.
quently waited to notify the
claim agents of the company and
in other ways aided the company
to fOrtify itself against damage
suits.
John Halpin, chief Of detec'
Itiyes, one Of the men slated fol
dismissal, is nephew Of Ber'
lnard Corrigan, president of the
| Metropolitan company.

and mass meeting as.an express
sion of sympathy for Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, accused
of the murder of former Govern
or Steunenberg, of Idaho, which
took place here this afternoon,
was participated in by nearly
1900 persons, 500 of whom were
women and children. The dem

|istic affair, and hundreds Of red
flags and banners were carried
by the marchers. The police
made no effort to suppress the
flags, but extra precautions were
taken to preserve order.

day that Mrs. Gonld's suit for
permanent separation from her

WILL BUILD
DORMITORY
For New Mexico Baptist Co..
Iege.

At last meeting. of trustees
of the New Mexico Baptist Col
lege arrangements were made to
erect the dOrmitory, also Prof.
J. F. Rorex was engaged,tO con-
tinue in charge of the college.
The yearjust closed with the
college has been the most pros
porous in its history, which
means great credit to the work
and ability of Prof. Rorex as
well as of the management.
The next college year will
start off with better prospects
than ever. The dormitory which.
is an absolute necessity is to be
built at once and everything put
in readiness for successful and
profitab BILE work.
A college journal will be pub
lished monthly and much ad-
vertising matter is to be distri-
buted.
1t is "a pleasure to note that
along with a most successful
year for the college our public
schools have also been the most
successful and the most profit
able Alamogordo has ever en-
joyed. Our school interests
have been better managed, bet
ter systemized and better taught
than ever before. Patrons have
taken more interest in the work
of our public school teachers
than ever before, consequently
everything has been very har-
monious and pleasant and profit
able.
Alamogordo is to be the edu-
cational center of the Southwest.
Our climate give to us the adj
vantage and now that we are to
make the Baptist College what
it should be-the lead of all
schools-our reputation for edu.
cational work is made.

GENERAL BELL

For Meyer and Haywood

Denver, May 19.-General
Sherman NJ. Bell, who command
ed the state troops in the trouble
with the Cripple Creek miners
under the administration of Gov
ernor Peabody, has not been
called by either side in the Hay
wood trial at Boise, though he
knows much of the inside history
of the Western Federation of
Miners.
II shall not appear as a wit
ness," said General Bell today,
Except of my own volition, but
if any attempt to job the prison.
ers is made, or any attempt to
use me as a tool by either the
Western Federation of miners or
the mine owners, l give notice
now that | shall take hand.
"Why should they try these
men in Idaho? During the
troubles here and before the
murder of Steunberg, there were
seventy-tive persons killed in
Colorado, and yet they take
these men from Colorado to Idaho
to try them for crimes commit
ted in Colorado. Why don't
they try them here? Is it be-
cause they are afraid? The
whole thing is a ridiculous farce.
1t is unfair and un-American.
/ detest the principles of Meyer
and Haywood, but l think they
should get a square deal, and il
you take men from a state where
they alleged crimes were com
mitted to a place supposedly
hostile to them in another state,
l don't call it a square DEAL"

Municipal Court.


Phillip LaJandre and Matthias ia
ques, the former as proprietor and
the latter as clerk, carrying on a
restaurant on Water street, next door
to the Chinese laundry, were arrest
ed Friday afternoon by c. II Smith,
and arraigned before Judge o. K.
Bachelor on charge of single sale.
Mr.. Smith had been watching the
place for some weeks and with his
deputies and members of the local
police force had passed portion of
several nights in nearby buildings in
the hope of hitting upon an oppor-
tune moment to descend upon the
place. He had observed the going
and coming of many different people
and particularly the very frequent
visits of a cert ain Chas. Stain. About
O'Clock on Friday afternoon, Stain
was seen to enter and, after waiting
long enough to give him time to make
his purchase, Mr.. Smith walked in,
searched his pockets and found a
quart of liquor. Stain confessed that
he had just purchased it OF Lajandre
and Laiandre admitted that he had
received the money for it but insisted
that it was some he had been keeping
for his own use but that Stain had
himself taken it from its place in the
refrigerator. The Judge pronounced
Lajandre and Jacques to be guilty, in
posing sentence of 80 days in Jail and
500 fine in each case. Lajandre was
committed to jail and Jacques appeal
ed and furnished bonds.
This restaurant has had the appear
ance of being "hole in the wall' for
the sale of liquor or the headquarter
for pocket peddling operations, for
some months. A harness or two is
usually displayed in the doorway or
about the front of the shop, but with
in, no signs of the sadlery trade are
apparent to the casual observer. Mr..
Smith had supposed that jacques was
the proprietor but it seems that he
had sold to Lajandre about two weeks
since, the transfer being carefully re
corded and possibly being intended to
confuse the authorities i'll case OF
search or arrests. Immediately after
the conclusion of the hearing business
was resumed, Jacques seeming to have
all necessary authority during the
confinement of the former proprietor
in Jail.
The Chas. Stain above mentioned
on whom the liquor was found and
upon whose testimony the convictions
were secured, is the party who at.
tanned such prominence at the time
of the trial of Stain and Cromwell fol
the murder of Cashier Barron anC
and robbery of the Dexter Savings
Bank He is the son of the Stain who
was convicted with Cromwell of the
crime referred to and it was upon hi
evidence, corroborating the circum
stances otherwise proven, that the,
were sent to Jail. Stain came herr
from Mercer about six months ago ant
is now living on Middle street.

The Quality of Grass Seed.

The Maine law regulating the sale
Of agricultural seeds requires that
grass seed shall be sold under guar
antee as TO purity. Bulletin l3s Of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, which doubtless many 0f our
readers have received, gives analy-
ses of the seeds which were collected
by the inspector and those sent TO the
Experiment Station By correspond
ence III 1906. The dealers are very
generally conforming to the law and
the purity OF most seeds is now guar
anteed. The question naturally
arises in the mind OF farmer
Should seed be otrickly pure and if
not, how nearly pure should it be?
The purity of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. II it possible 70
grow timothy seed SO clean that il
shall carry practically no foreign
weed seeds. 1t is not as easy to grow
any of the other grasses or clovers 30
clean. There is no need for the sower
to ever buy timothy seed that is much
less than 99.5 per cent pure. Samples
have been examined by the Station
a single foreign harmful seed.
The best red clover seeds will fire :
quently carry as much as one per
cent of foreign matter, although
these impurities arc usually compare
lively harmless. In many of the low
grade red clovers which are only 50
per cent pure, it sometimes happens
that a large part Of the Impurities are
harmless. 1t is, however, poor policy
for the sower to buy a red clover seed
that is less than IS per cent pure. The
best grades of alsike clover will run
about 9S.6 per cent pure on the aver
age. 1t is doubtful if the purchaser
should buy an alsike whose purity is
less than 97.5 per cent.
Redtop is the most difficult seed oil
ali. IL will OF course, contain more OF
less chaff. 1t is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy and the seed
cleaners find it difficult to separate
timothy seed from redtop after it hat
once been introduced. Samples OF
redtop carrying as high as y or ever
10 per cent of timothy are not unusu-
al. If one could be sure that the i'm
purities were harmless like chaff anG
timothy it might be safe 10 buy red
top even as low as SO per cent pure
Unless one is assured of the charactel
of the impurities, it is unwise to buy
a redtop less than 95 per cent pure.
From the above it is evident that il
the judgment of the Director of the
Experiment Station it is wise to buy
only high grade>seeds that are com.
paratively pure. Not only are the
high grade seeds purer but they are
usually larger, plumper and heavier
more of them will terminate, anC
they make stronger plants. There il
certainly no economy in the attemp
to save one, or even cents a pounC
on the purchase of grass seed. Elk
pensive as seed is, it is a compare
lively small item in seeding down
when the cost OF labor and fertilize
are taken into consideration.
