Grand Jury "Leaked" But the In

A special from Roise says Of the
indictment returned against Senator

time of the vote Thursday afternoon
and the meeting of the grand Jury
the next morning half a dozen Jurors
had told all about the vote, but after
their Friday meeting they closed up.
1t is understood they were given u
warm lecture Friday morning by the
district attorney, as the exact vote on
the indictment had been published
that morning.
1t Is thought the holding of the
grand jury together until June II
waa to prevent their talking. Judge
Beatty cautioned them strongly on
that point when he announced they
would be excused until that date.
There is strong belief that the in

up until the department Of justice car

been taken down, but it is the opin-

With consciousness of duty well
performed in rehabiIitating her de-
strOyed commercial section San Fran
cisco has celebrated the first anniyer-
sary of her cataclysm. One year ago
saw the most awful experience that
ever befell an American city, when
earthquake and fire wrought their hor-
rible ruin. To-day public utilities are
again in operation adequate to the needs
of the city; nearly two-thirds of the
area of four square miles which at sun
set April 20, 1906, was a scene of
blackened brick heaps and twisted met
al framework has been rebuilt and new
structures are still going up at rapid
rate. Hence it was appropriate that
the principal commercial body of the
city should assemble at the banquet
table at the Fairmount Hotel the other
evening, with governors and mayors
of other States and cities as their
guests, end celebrate the recovery with
joyous speech and Song. How different

Fairmount Hotel about one year ago
and now.
Two thousand six hundred acres of
buildings, large part in the very
heart of the business section, had been
swept away. Five hundred and four
teen city blocks had become a mass of
smoking ruins. Nothing was left of
the wholesale and retail districts ex-
cept that here and there big steel
frame buildings stood, scorched but
firm, among the piles of bricks. Near

blocked by fallen walls, twisted wires
and iron trolley poles. Pavements and
sidewalks were ruined by the intense

SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES
BY THE PRESIDENT.

The world has moved so far that it is
no longer necessary to believe that one
nation can rise only by thrusting another
down.
This is an era of combination alike
in the world of capital and in the world
of labor. Each kind of combination can
do good; and yet each, however powerful,
must be opposed when it does i'll.
The greatest problem before us is to
exercise such control over the business
use of vast wealth-individual, but espe-
cially corporate-as will insure its not
being used against the interests of the
public, while vet permitting such ample
legitimate profits as will encourage indi-
vidual initiaiiTe
The wrongdoer. the man who swindles
and cheats, whether on a big scale or q
little one. shall receive at our hands
mercy as scant as if he committed crimes
of violence or brutality.
1t is our business to put a stop to
abuses and to prevent their recurrence
without showing spirit of vindictiyeness
for what has been done in the past.
Quoting from Burke: IF l cannot
reform with equity, 1 will not reform at
ALL There is a state to preserve as well
as state TO REFORM This is the exact
spirit in which this country should move
to the reform of abuses of corporate
wealth.
We are unalterably determined to pre-
vent wrongdoing in the future; we have
no intention of trying to wreak such in
discriminate vengeance for wrongs done
in the past as would confound the inno-
cent with the guilty. Our purpose is to
build up rather than to tear down.

Innccurate Seed Tes,ing.

1t is not at all certain that seed
when sown in the open field will show
the same amount of digestbility as
when sown in seed testing boxes or
between plates in the house and un-
der Ideal conditions of warmth and
moisture. A great many experiments
have been made to show what the
terminating power OF various seeds is,
and 1t has been figured out that the
results would be the same in the field
as in the seed testers. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, to note that a COM
parison of results do not show the
same percentage Of seed terminating
under the two conditions
In some comparative tests reported
81 samples of seed of oats and wheat
were tested In regular seed testers.
The lowest termination was 40 per
cent, and the highest 90 per cent. A
like number of samples of the same
seed were planted in the open ground
at the same time, the samples being
the same grain as those planted in
the testers. One of the oat samples
that had shown termination of "a
per cent when planted in the tester
gave only 81 per cent of termination
when planted in the open field. An
other lot gave in the tester a germi-
nation of 81 per cent. yet when sown
in the open field it gave only IS per
cent This was most remarkable
decline.
One of the samples of wheat seed
gave Is per cent of termination when
sown in the seed tester, but when
sewn in the field gave only s per cent
of termination The poorest sample
for field work gave % per cent of ger
mination when sown in the seed test
er. but In the field gave only per
cent OF termination. This illustrates
the fact that something besides ger
mination tests need be looked for
when figuring ca what seed will do.
Conditions in the field are much hard
er than In terminating plate.
An investigation of this seed show
ed that ii had been produced under
bad conditions and probably lacked
vitality. Ii had been injuriously af-
fected by early fall frosts. Most OF
it had enough vitality to enable it
to sprout under the perfectly favor
able conditions found in a sprouting
tray. but had not enough vitality 10
enable It 10 sprout when buried In the
ground where the moisture supply
would be too great or too little, the
temperature too high or too low. and
where the air would not have free
access TO the grain
The termination tests may still be
considered valuable. says Farmers
Review, but they are by no means
conclusive, so long as they are con-
Quoted under ideal conditions 1t is
only rare that conditions in the open
ground are ideal for the termination
OF seed

A Christian Science Decision,

A novel and interesting decision was
recently handed down by the Supreme
Court of the State of Texas. The case
was that of lady who had sued the
Fort Worth and Denver City Railway
Company for damages on account of
physical and mental suffering in being ex-
PEELED from one of the defendants passen-
ger trains. The lady in question was
member of the Christian Science cult,
and the attorney for the defendant en-
deavored to establish this fact during the
trial, explaining that the plaintiff would
not take medicine, and that it was her
belief that she suffered only when she
thought she suffered and it was only
question with her whether she suffered or
did not, and that as a Christian Scientist
''she lived in a spiritual plane above men
tai and physical sufferings; that it was
an article of her faith that there was no
such thing as mental or physical suffer-
ing, and that she did not actually suf-
fer" The court would not permit the
attorney to bring out this point, and
verdict was given for the plaintiff. On
appeal the Supreme Court reversed the
decision, holding that it was an error not
to allow the desired testimony to be in
troduced since it was pertinent to the
main and essential issue in the case. to
wit, the mental and physical suffering of
the plaintiff. This decision suggests a
new line of cross-examination in damage
suits where the plaintiff is believer in

Peach Growing In Texas.

Relative to the cropping OF young
peach orchards the author OF a Texas
bulletin states that the results of two
years tests at the station indicate the
following rotation as best: An early
maturing crop that will come off the
land about June l, followed by cow
peas. peanuts, sweet potatoes, or some
crop that will mature late In the sum-
mer After the first crop is taken of
the soil is thoroughly broken and pull
verized. and the soil on each side of
the trees kept stirred until about Sep
TENDER l.
The advantage of planting such
crops as Irish potatoes tomatoes. etc.
is that the soil is well fertilized hav-
ing more plant food added than is re
moved by the crop. Then. again. these
crops come of early, so that the soil
can be gotten in fine condition before
tie second crop is put on. BY this
method the soil is kept stirred through
cut the summer and the trees are
kept going until September"
