SOME DELAY EXPECTED.
Steps Taken to Secure Release oil
Americans Arrested in Russia.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.--The ma
chinery of the American embassy has
been set in motion to secure the re-
lease of William English Walling of
Indianapolis. his wife Anna and his
sister-in-law, Miss Rose Strunsky, who
were arrested at the Hotel de France
here because of their association with
members OF the Finnish Progressive
party, four of whom, including the
wife of Professor Malmburg OF Hell
singfors university, were taken into
custody at the same time. Attaches
OF the embassy visited the prefecture
OF police and the headquarters OF the
secret police in endeavors to learn
the nature of the charges against the
American prisoners and to see whether
they were comfortably treated. The
Wallings probably will be released on
condition of their leaving Russia, but
the examination of the books, manu-
scripts and other documents seized
by the police when the Wallings were
taken into custody may delay the re-
lease of the prisoners for a few days.
T.e police accuse Mr.. Walling with
furnishing financial aid to the revo-
lutiOnary movement, but that is not
the charge on which he and the other
members Of the party were arrested.

Injunction and an Adjournment is
Taken to Permit Final Determine

Chicago, Oct 22.- Stuyvesant Fish
has secured postponement of the
Illinois Central stockholders meeting
until Dec Is. The Hartman people
agreed to the adjournment although
they had previously been anxious to
push matters as rapidly as possible.
The decision to adjourn the meeting
was the result of conference be.
tween William Nelson Cromwell for
Mr.. Hartman and Judge E. HI Farrar
for Mr.. Fish The overtures came
from Mr.. Cromwell, who sought out
the Fish people and declared that he
wished to come to some sort OF an
agreement. He was informed by
Judge Farrar that the only agreement
that could be reached was to accept
the terms OF Mr. Fish, which would
be the adjournment until Dec. 1S and
a decision of court IL the Hartman
people SO desired 10 determine the
right to vote the 2S6,731 shares of
stock against which a temporary in
junction was issued by Judge Ball one
week ago. After an extended confer
ence this proposal was finally agreed
to.
Prior to this agreement the proxy
committee had worked down to the
letter T. The proxies under the letter
w had previously been considered,
leaving only five letters still to be
passed upon.
Although none of those directly in
terested would give specific figures 1t
was understood that the total number
of votes represented was not far from
100000. OF this amount Mr.. Fish, ac-
cording to excellent authority, con-
trolled about 250,000 and Mr.. Harri-
man 100000 There were not suffi-
cient votes In the remaining letters
upon which the committee still had to
pass to overcome this lead OF Mr.. Fish
and 1t was evident that Mr. Hartman
was beaten unless he could bring into
the contest some portion of the 286,731
shares against which Judge Ball is
sued the Injunction.

Cincinnati, Oct. 22.-The temporary
Injunction against the melting OF a
strike by the International Pressmen s
union for an eight-hour day was made
permanent by United States Judge
Thompson. who held that such action
on the part of the union officers would
be breaking Of a valid contract
An injunction was sought by the
United Typothetae of America and
certain publishing concerns in New
York, Chicago, ST. Louis and Massa-
chusetts to prevent the defendants,
officers and members OF the Press
mems union, from melting and carry
Ing on strike, which was In effect
the breaking OF contract entered
into last May and running until jan
Jan. i, 1912. According to this con-
tract the pressmen We're to have a
nine-hour day until Jan j. 1909,
when the eight-hour day was to go
into effect, but the union had demand
ed the immediate acceptance OF the
eight-hour day. When the case was
argued ten days ago the defendants
raised the question of jurisdiction and
the complainants moved to amend the
petition In certain respects to elm
mate parties not indispensable to the
suit, which motion was sustained, the
court holding that it had jurisdiction
In the case. That the demand by the
international union officers for an
eight-hour day prior to the date agreed
On was violative of their contract was
the opinion of the conrt, but he said
the men as individuals could not be
enjoined from striking.
One OF the points sought by the
petition was to enjoin the paying OF
strike benefits, which was opposed
strongly both at the first argument OF
the case and again during the day by
the attorneys for the union. They
pleaded for the benefciaries OF the
strike fund, but the court sustained
the petition and the injunction as is-
sued forbids the payment of strike
benefits or any action by the officers
of the union that would incite a strike
in contravention of the contract
which, Judge Thompson held, had
been regularly entered into and prop
erly ratified by the convention of the
union.

SITUATION IMPROVES
Financial l)pheaval in New York
Decidedly More Favorable.
BANKERS CONTROL AFFAIRS
Look After Unexpected Big Debit Of
Mercantile National and Force the
Aeinze-Morse Crowd Completely Out
OF the Institution.

New York, Oct 22--The disquietins
banking situation, which for several
days has threatened some of the lead
ing speculative banks and has caused
apprehension throughout the banking
community, shows decided improve
mont. There was no heavy run on
any Of the banks, business proceeded
without evidence that public conf
dcnce had been seriously shaken and
the reports of the clearinghouse, al
though not very favorable as to the
bank chiefly affected of late, the Mer-
cantile National bank, showed on the
whole that nothing In the nature of a
banking crisis was imminent. Chief
interest ceptered in the meeting OF
the clearinghouse committee, which
balances The debts and credits of the
various banks, thus furnishing pretty
close indication of their business
status. The committee was in ses-
sion more than an hour. 1t soon be-
came known that the debit balance of
the Mercantile National bank amount
ed to about s1,900,00O, which was con-
siderably more than the clearinghouse
had expected. However, this unfavor.
able item was offset by the fact that
the debit of the bank represented the
business OF the last week, when the
Heinze-Morse regime was in control.
Therefore the clearinghouse took
prompt steps to meet it, thus giving
the new management the support
which had been promised. The debit
balance of the National Bank of North
America was found TO be SS50,0O0, of
the Mechanics and Traders bank
$4,000 and the New Amsterdam Ma
tional bank 100000 These balances
We're not such as to require the assist
ance of the clearinghouse, as the
banks themselves were quite able to
handle the amount When the COM
mittee adjourned II was announced
that all obligations of the day had
been met.
In view of the foregoing showing
the sentiment in and about the clear
inghouse was one of buoyancy and
confidence and this was soon reflected
by a marked improvement in the
stock market
Manager Shearer said that the
clearinghouse now had the situation
well In hand and that the general
status of banking in New York would
undergo decided improvement from
now on as a result of the safeguards
adopted.

WHAT MANURE DID
FOR ONE FARM
By PROF. HARRY SNYDER.

My attention was recently called to
farm in Dakota county, Minnesota,
where, when the country was being
settled. a strip of apparently poor
land was passed over as worthless for
grain production. Later it was home.
steaded by a settler who came in a
one-horse outfit. Instead of raising
grain, this man started in on a small
scale to feed live stock. Screenings
and grain could be obtained for the
hauling. The manure was judiciously
used and the soil responded to this
method of farming. In few years
upon this apparently poor soil larger
crops were produced than upon the
surrounding wheat lands. To-day it
is one of the most productive farms
in the county, and its fertility is the
result Of farm manure.
Farm manures are valuable be
cause they add new stores of fertility
to the soil. They change the inactive
plant food to more available forms
through the production of humates
which are utilized by crops as foods.
They improve the physical properties
of soils, make them warmer, more
responsive to cultivation, and regulate
the water supply for crop growth.
They add to the permanent crop pro-
ducing power of the soil and regulate
the supply of plant food by causing
disintegration and other changes to
take place. They aid in producing
forage crops which contain the largest
amount of protein and other available
nutrients. MANFRED lands produce
not only larger but more valuable
crops.

ing fruit trees in good condition is

Trees forage more widely than
smaller plants, and may not show the
effects of starvation as suddenly or
as soon, but they must show it in
time If grown long on the same land
without anything being returned to
the soil to replace materials removed
by the trees. In this relation I was
struck recently by a statement which
I encountered in Prof. Voorhees, in.
teresting little book on Fertilizers. He
says that 20 crops of apples of Is
bushels per tree, and IS trees to the
acre, equal 1887 pounds Of nitrogen,
80 pounds Of phosphoric acid and
1905 pounds Of potash.
Twenty crops of wheat. Of Is BUSH
els per acre. equal geo pounds Of
nitrogen, 211 pounds Of phosphoric
acid and 1924 pounds of potash.
Therefore, according to Prof. Voor.
hees, 20 crops Of apples remove more
than twice as much nitrogen, half as
much again phosphoric acid. and near.
ly three times as much potash, as 20
crops of wheat.
L good farmer would hardly think
Of growing 20 successive crops of
wheat on the same land, no matter
how good it might be, and it would
seem to be still greater folly, accord.
ing to the figures given, to attempt
to grow 20 successive crops of apples
without returning anything to the
soil.
