CREAMERY FURNISHES BULL

A Wisconsin has worked
out a scheme to show the value oS
a good dairy bred bull. In this par
ticular n~eighborhood there was a short
age OF dairy sires n patrons were
not inclined to buy good bulls. The,
creamery bought a pure bred Guernsey
bull, OF approved breeding. and is
charging a fee OF So for the service OF
the bull. The work is to be follow cd
up yea after year., long enough. Mt
least, to show patrons the value OF

question has been neglected SO long
that prominent dairy interests ars
now taking hold of the work In a way
that will mean much to the dairy In

ALLEGED VIOLATION OF

CHARGES PREFERRED IN STATE 1IENT BY INT'L POLICYHOLD-

 of Companies and Insurance Depart-

 for Salaries of Insurance Officials.
 New York, April 1.-The information al policyholders' committee issued a statement to-day, pointing out alleged violations of the present insurance code by the companies in the recent election of officers, and the alleged inefficiency of the department of insurance in con- ducting the supervision of the election. The statement says in part:
 "The international committee has maintained for months in both the Mu- tual and New York Life canvas force of watchers and translators, and every effort has been made to protect the interests of policyholders who have voted against the old arrangements, but the rulings of the inspectors have been so uniformly against us, and being ful- ly satisfied that it is impossible, under the present conditions to secure fair count of the votes as cast, we with draw our watchers.
 From the beginning the companies, with the assistance of the department of insurance, have evaded and nullitied in every way possible the law as enact- ed The companies filed lists of policy holders at Albany, which contained thousands of incorrect names with false and misleading addresses, while they gave to agents and canvassers, not alone the correct names and addresses, but the policy numbers of the insured" :" The statement then sets forth in de- tail the various forms of irregularity charged, and declares that affidavits show it was practiced on wholesale scale, but these affldavits the state- ment asserts were refused considera- tion. Illustration is given Of a family which was recorded as casting five votes, the statement adding;
 Investigation showed that not a member of the family voted in the re- cent election and that they had not resided at the stated address in over two years"
 The statement further says:
 Numerous instances developed where agents had sent In proxies and ballots bearing the names of policy holders who had been dead for years, while many ballots were cast bearing the names of former policyholders who had allowed their policies to lapse,
 'l'he officers of these companies and the department of insurance are re- sponsible for this condition of af- fairs

HUNT FOR TRAIN WRECKERS
PENN. R. R. MAKING EVERY EF- FORT TO CAPTURE TENDS.

Offers s2,5OO Reward for Arrest of
 Guilty Person or Persons Who Att
 tempted to Wreck Train Saturday
 Night--$2,5OO Additional if Taken
 Within Twenty-four Hours-Experi-
 enced Men Doing the Work.
 Pittsburg, April "A statement is- sued tonight from the headquarters of the Pennsylvania lines west, says that the company is making every effort to capture the person or persons who at tempted to wreck train No. S22 on the Cleveland and Pittsburg division near Hudson, Ohio, last night, and for whose arrest a reward of $2,5O0 has been offerel with an additional $2,500 if they are taken within the next twen- ty-four hourse.
 The sheriffs of Summit, Portage and Cuyahoga counties, with their deputies and the chief of police of Cleveland, are exerting every effort to-day to To- cate some trace of the wreckers. No arrests have been made,
 While the search is in progress off, cials of the railroad have been making a rigid investigation into the derail- ment. To-day test was made to dis cover how long it would take man familiar with the track work to arr range the tracks so as to throw the train off the track. The conditions un- der which the wreckers worked were duplicated as nearly as possible and the test showed that one man, work ing rapidly, could draw the spikes, re- move the fish plates and ben the rail inward securing 1t in that position In about five minutes. The test was made in daylight, however, and the investi- gation shows that the wreckers worked in the dark, so that 1t would probably have taken a longer time to complete the task.

AssAss1NArED IN STREET CAR,
Former President of Guatemala stab-
 bed to Death.

City of Mexico, April 7.--General Man mel Iizandro Barrillas, formerly presi- dent of Guatemaia, was assassinated this evening in Gale seminiaro, as he sat in a Guadaloupe street car. He was on the way to supper. The car stop ned and a young man about seventeen wears of age, climbed aboard, and rush ing to the general, stabbed him twice, the first blow severing the jugular vein, the second cutting his face. He died instantly.
 The assassin was captured. He gave the name of Jose Estrada and his home as Ocos, Guatemala.
 The members of the Guatemalan col- ony. many of whom formerly lived in Ocoa, know of no such name and do not recognize the youth, who is doubt less a paid assassin. The body of the former president, along with the assas- sin, was taken to police headquarters. The body will probably be turned over to the Guatemalan colony for burial, after an autopsy tomorrow
 Barrilas was generally regarded as strongly opposed to the present govern ment of Guatemala. He was sixty-two years of age and was strong possibil- ity for the next presidency of the coun- try.

 New York, April 7.-When Judge Fitzgerald tomorrow morning an nounces formally the commission in lunacy which inquired into the present mental condition of Harry ThaW, the curtain will rise on the last act Of the long case.
 Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who was on the stand when District Attor- nsy Jerome asked for the appointment of the lunacy commission, will be re- called
 The following statement was made tonight by MT. Delmas;
 "Dr. Allan McI4ane Hamilton will be the first witness called when the trlal is resumed tomorrow. It has not been decided by counsel for the defendant whether Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Will be recalled to the witness stand
 Mr. Delmas it is said, will ask an adjournment until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It is because he finds 1t impossible to make his address to the jury in one day that he will make his opening address tomorrow afternoon to leave him the full day Tuesday in which to conclude his summing up.
 In a general way it is known that MT. Delmas will cover every point ot the testimony. He has been preparing what he himself terms the greatest ef- fort of his life for more than two weeks. MT. Delmas remained at his home to-day putting the finishing touches on his plea.
 District Attorney Jerome is expected to occupy three or four hours oi Wednesday. There will then remain only Justice Fitzgerald's charge to the jury, which can hardly be later than Thursday unless unforeseen obstacles to the anticipated programme arise. Should the jurors fail to agree they will probably be locked up for the night.
 Most of the members of the jury nave had previous experience in criminal cases. Three have sat in homicide cases before, and eight have been 1ur- ors in criminal cases wherethe charge was other than murder. Only one man never has been a juror previously. Of the three men who have sat in homi- eide cases one was on jury that brought in a verdict of acquittal; the second man served in two cases, in each of which the verdict was murder in the first degree, and the third man was on jury that brought in a man. slaughter verdict.
 Thaw passed a quiet day in the Tonabs, reading the papers and writ ing. He was in unusually good spirits and attended religious services.
