Edison Says 1t Will Be Sold to Farmers
Some Day.

New York, June 15-Thomas A.
Edison is quoted in an interview today
as predicting that before long science
will enable the farmer to enrich his
lands by means of nitrogen from the
air. He said:
Until recently the utilization of
atmospheric nitrogen was regarded as
mere laboratory demonstration.
Business men said it would never be
obtained cheaply enough to sell to the
farmer as a fertilizer. In Norway a
plant has been established which has
been conducted with such good results
that expect to see atmospheric fer
tilizer on the market in this country
within the next ten years.
THAT such product VIII soon be
imperatively necessary there is no
doubt. Every shipload of wheat and
corn which goes abroad leaves the
United States so much poorer, not in
gold but in nitrogen"
Mr. Edison continued: Another
scientific discovery which I expect to
see before die is the direct generation
of electricity from coal This has al
ready been achieved in an expert
mental way 1 have heard of several
men who have done it. Imagine what
will be the consequences. At this time
of the power obtained
from coal is lost by the use or boilers,
wheels and dynamos. With the d1rect
generation of the electrical current,
therefore the world will have ten times
more energy than now"

Trouble for the Joplin team came in
the first inning when Topeka did all
that was necessary to win the game.
Davis walked and Halla attempted a
sacrifice, Clemens threw, but the ball
went wild and Halla went to second,
Davis reposing on third. A sacrifice
by Abbott scored Davis.
In the third after two men had been
retired Halla walked and scored on
Abbott's triple to right field. Henry
single sent Abbott across
Two more men came home in the
fifth. Davis started off with a single.
TIaIia sacrificed but the ball was
thrown away by Clemens and Davis
scored, Halla going to third Henry's
second hit scored Halla.
Topeka had during the remainder Of
the inning a couple or men on bases
but could not score them although
they did not need another run to win
the game.
In the field Red Davis was the
bright shining light. In the seventh
inning Dick Rohn lined out a mighty
one in the vicinity of left centerfield.
Davis who was playing right made
long desperate run after the ball and
gathered it into his welcoming arms.
His feat was about the best pulled off
here this season and just to show their
appreciation the fans gave him the
greatest applause which has greeted

MIKE KEELY, FREE AGENT.
ST. Louis Has No Claims to the Present
Des Moines Manager

Cincinnati. June 15.-The decision OF
the national baseball commission in
the M j. Kelly case, one of the most
complicated to come before the COM
mission, was promulgated yesterday,
1t is signed by Chairman Hermann and
PRESIDENT Pulliam of the National
league, a notation signed by the chair
man quoting President Johnson of the
American league as saying that he had
voted for the decision for the sake of
unanimity, but that he could not agree
TO some of the particulars given in the
decision and therefore suggested that
1t be promulgated by the others with
out his signature. The claim of the
St Louis American league club to
Kelly as a reserve player is declared to
be disallowed,
The other point in the decision was
a claim that Kelly was ineligible to
play until such time as the American
association should lift the ban of ineli-
g1bllity they had placed against him.
1t was asserted that a decision to that
effect had been issued by the commits
sion, but an investigation revealed the
fact that the commission had never
taken any action on this claim. A
previous order to the head of the
Western league forbiddfng the employ
ment of Kelly as manager of the Des
Moines club was therefore rescinded.

IT was the most pleasing contest wit
messed at the local park during the
present series and the fans are all feel
ing happy as a result. Bunton seemed
TO have absolute control of the visitors
from the very beginning and never
once did he relax his iron grasp. This
in passing is the sixth game which the
former Colonel slab artist has won for
Topeka. The number which he has
lost comedies with .Joplin's score of
yesterday.
Pitted against Mr.. Bunton was a
young twirler by the name of Clemens.
He is a descendant of Mark Twain and
is also an old college chum of Dick
Rohn by whose recommendation he re-
ceived his tryout yesterday. AS a
pitcher ne was his own worst enemy
as he made three wild pegs to first
base which allowed the runner to
amble to the next station and then
eventually score. The fact that the To-
Gals secured but one run which was
earned shows that he has something
up his sleeve. He allowed seven hits,
struck two, passed three and hit one.
with little more self confidence he
should develop.

NO PANAMA BONDS.

washington, June 15.-There is no
longer any doubt as to Secretary Cortel-
you's intention with respect to the issue
of Panama bonds. After giving the
question much thought he has definite
ly decided and so announced today that
there is at present no necessity for such
issue. The matter therefore may be re-
garded as settled for at least several
months and possibly for a much longer
time. The $50, 100000 four per cent bonds
which will mature July next viii be
redeemed in full on and after that date,

were called from the national depository
