1t Will Be Necessary for the
Great Manipulation to An
SWer Questions.
DEMAND FOR INFORMATION.
EXPECTED TO EXPLAIN DEALS
IN REFERENCE TO ILLINOIS
CENTRAL.

New York, Oct. 12-At a conference
Of counsel today the Government suit
against E. H. Hartman and Otto H.
Kahn to force them to answer ques-
tions put to them before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, was
postponed by agreement and set for
hearing on November 13, before Judge
Hough in the Federal District Court
here.
C. A. Severance, of st. Paul, law
partner Of Frank Kellogg, the Stand
ard Oil inquisitor, was here as special
counsel of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and after the postpone
ment held a conference with United
States District Attorney Stimson on
the methods to be employed in their
effort to make the Wall street man
answer
The questions on which the contests
will be made involve mainly the pur-
chase of Illinois Central stock by the
Union Pacific through Kuhn, Loeb &
Co, of which Kahn is member.
Kahn will be asked to answer this
question: Were any or all of the I'm
ion Pacific directors interested in the
block of stock sold by your company
to the Union Pacific in August
1902" The Government seeks to
show that the directors in effect sold
the stock to themselves, acting for the
railroad.
Twenty Points Advance.
Hartman will be asked concerning
his connection with the sensational
establishment of Union Pacific stock
on 10 per cent. basis in August, 1906
following the announcement OF which
the stock went up about twenty points
This question will be put: Were
you a buyer of Union Pacific just pre-
viously to that announcement
1t is alleged that the announcement
was held back two days to give those
on the inside" a chance to buy.
Kahn will be asked to tell whether
the Illinois Central stock sold by his
company to the Union Pacific was
not acquired by a pool made for that
purpose. Will dISo bt d9fNSN
what he paid for stock in the st. Joe
and Grand Island, which he, himself
sold to the Union Pacific. This he
positively refused TO tell last winter
and it is supposed that he made some
little profit by the deal.
The present action is in the form
of a distinct suit against the two mer
on the ground that under the law, the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
full power to inquire into these mat
ters and that they are compelled tc
answer all relevant questions.
Hartman Makes a Denial.
The attention of E. H. Hartman
was called today to the telegram
which he was reported to have sent tc
the general managers of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company instructins
them to reduce all expenses other thar
maintenance and TO stop improve
ments on account of the stringency o.
the money market. The statement If
untrue" said Mr.. Hartman. L do noi
send kilograms to general managers IL
this way and no such order has beer
given. We are doing everything We
can to take care OF the business trib
utary to our roads and expect to con
tinue to do So

WHEN FERTILIZERS SHOULD BE
APPLIED.

AS general rule, which has but few
executions the greater part of the fer
tilizer should be applied to the soI pc
fore planting the crop it is intended to
benefit This rule is not only IN accord
with theoretical considerations but Is also
abundantly sustained in actual practice,
as shown by carefully conducted field eX-
periments Instituted for the express pur-
pose of ascertaining the truth, says Hon.
r. J. Redding, Director Georgia expert
ment Station, Department OF Agriculture,
in Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer Almanac:
The theory underlying the rule is the
fact that most of the ingredients compos-
ing a commercial fertilizer are not I'M
mediately soluble and availlble, but must
undergo certain chemical changes in the
soil before the plant food will be in the
proper condition to be taken up by the
true in regard to salts of potash. and in
less degree to acid phosphate. 1t is
fact. also, that some forms of potash,
notably kainit. cause chemical changes
in the condition Of the plant food already
present in a soil, whereby the before in
soluble and non available plant food al
ready in the soil, becomes available.
The organic substances which are large
~ used in the make up of commercial
fertilizers for the purpose of supplying
Nitrogen to the plants-such as cotton
seed meal, dried blood, fish scrap, tank
age. etc, also require time in which to
undergo chemical decomposition and such
change of form will enable the roots
TO appropriate the nitrogen Even sui
cal salt which sometimes enters into
the composition of a fertilizer in very
limited amount, must undergo a complete
chemical decomposition in the soil before
the plants can make any use of the nitro
gen, which it contains in the form OF
ammonia sulphate. This must be con-
verted into nitrate, or nitrate of lime.
fertilizer salt that is Immediately avail
able. producing very prompt effect when
applied to a growing crop (and 1t should
be applied to none other).
Acid phosphate and potash may be ap-
piled to the soil and bedded from two
to six weeks before planting time. 1t
is claimed by some experts that potash
even several months before planting. A
more practical and convenient rule, how
ever is to apply a complete fertilizer
from one to three weeks before planting
the crop. when the latter is a corn, cot
ton, tobacco, or other summer growing
crop, always taking care to mix the fer
tilizer thoroughly with the soil of the
open bedding furrow in which it shall be
applied and then listing or throwing
two burrows on it.
Experiments on the farm of the Georgia
Experiment Station projected for the
purpose of comparing on the one hand
che effectiveness of a complete fertilizer
applied two weeks before planting, and,
on the other hand, the effectiveness of
applied in the burrows with the seed,
were followed by an unexpected and sur
prising result-viZ, the cotton seeds plant
cd the plats in which the fertilizer
had been applied and bedded on two
weeks before, came up quicker and gave
q more uniform stand of more vigorous
plants than resulted on the plats in which

Jlu-Jitsu Nothing Nnw.

An art of selfdefence approximately
equivalent to jiu-jitsu was known in
Europe in the seventeenth century,
Its principles are expounded in a work
by one Nicholas Peters, published at
Amsterdam in 1914, and bearing the
lengthy explanatory title: The ARR
of Wrestling, and how one can pro-
tect oneself in all kinds of quarrels
that may occur; how one can with
agility and rapidity repel all unfair at
taehs and meet ones adversary with
science" The author anticipated
many of the characteristic grips o. ths
