Senator Hadn't Missed It.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain
OF the senate, usually listens for an
hour or so daily to debate, taking a
sort of fatherly interest in the mem
bers, as the chaplain of a boys school
might. The story goes that DR.. Hale
once asked a certain senator with a
good lea of solicitation If he was a
church member. The senator was glad
to be able to say that he was. Two or
three days later, according to the
story, DR.. Hale required to the sub
ject and asked the name of the church.
The senator gave a name. Two or
three days later again DR.. Hale re-
marked with regret that he had looked
up that church and that he was sorry
to find that it had been burned down
u years beforehand never rebuilt.

Story Not Shaken.

New York, Feb. 27.-Evelyn Nesbit
left the stand yesterday afternoon with
her story practically unbroken. Je-
rome brought out a number of facts
which do not rebound to the credit of
the young woman, IN which may even
be said to reflect on her credibility,
but aside from making her admit that
the facts hardly justified the inference
that she was drugged at the time she
says White ruined her, her story re-
mains in all its essential details just
as she originally told it.

Today probably the entire time will

hands with the %alienist. it is believed
that Jerome will take especial pains to
shake his testimony.

Senator Beveridge Of Indiana went

New York, Feb. 27.-E. II. Hartman
was recalled in the interstate COM
merce commissions proceedings today.
Hartman testified that the Union Pa
cific purchased the st. Joseph and
Grand Island for $2,022, 900. The wit
ness said he owned the property and
sold it to the Union Pacific. Objection
was made 70 the question as to when
he bought the stock of the st. Joseph
and Grand Island and what he paid for
it, and witness declined to answer.

The commission ruled that he must
answer, n there was the usual for
NAL refusal. The witness said the
New York Central stocks acquired by
the Union Pacific were bought in the
open market. Hartman declined to
answer the question as to whether he
or any of his associates were inter-
ested in the sale at the time of the
Union Pacific purchases.
Kahn Follows Hartman.

the mex witness. Kahn said his firm

only understanding being that it was
to be offered to the Union Pacific. He
thought Hartman was in favor of the
purchase, but he took the risk as to
the other directors.

EXPERIENCE OF STICkNEY PLOWS
OF Benefit TO DRY FARM
ING ADVOCATES HERE.
Was Able to Break Up New Land
Without Difficulty, but in Old Land
Would Not Permit-WiIIow Greek
Ranch Has Large Acreage.

d. N. Stickney reached the city this
morning with his steam plowing outht,
having just come from James McGlb-
bon's Willow creek ranch, near Red
Buttes, after having plowed about 125
acres of new land for seeding to oats
and other grain this spring. The plow-
ing was done in four days, the plows
sometimes being unable to start be-
fore 9 o'clock in the morning, on &C
count of frost in the ground. The
work was done well, Mr.. Stickney
using a gang of discs instead of plows,
leaving the ground in the very best
condition for narrowing for seeding.
Flowing Conserves Moisture.
Mr.. Stickney noted one thing that
will be of intense interest to those in
terested in dry farming. Although he
was able to break new ground at this
season of the year, a very early date,
by the way, he was not able to pioW
a furrow in ground hat had been bro.
ken before, on account of frost, show
ing that the breaking of the land tends
to conserve the moisture, just as the
dry farm advocates contend. The new
land had no frost to speak of, except
that which fell during the night, rem
dering the surface a little crusty, but
in the fallow land there was no chance
to pillow even in the hottest part Of
the day.
Will Keep Plows Busy.
Mr.. Stickney will pillow a good deaI
of land on his own property, but just
when he will begin he does not himself
know. The traction engine had nc
trouble in drawing the gang of discs
and turning the sod up so that it fel
to pieces. Mr.. McGibbon will seed the
plowed land just as soon as he cal
get the seed to it and be safe from
future frosts.

He declared the railroads were grow

he saw little or no relief in the new

roads would supply the only remedy.
To show the value of his idea, Patter,

countries, showing the presence of
government ownership in some form,
and he saw steadily an increase in
sentiment in that direction in the

Resolutions Adopted by Directors of
 Business Mems Association.
 A special meeting of the board of di- rectors of New Haven Business Mems association, called by the president, Ralph s. Pagter, was held last evening in Heublein's hall, The report of Isbell & Booth, who have charge of tbe col lection department was read and s1,- 416.40 was reported to have been sent in from the March collections. The col lection for the members during the month of March amounted to $1,145.46. This is large increase over previous months. an increase of about 50 per cent.
 Four new members came in at last evenings meeting. The American Buff fer Co. of West Haven, Frank A. AL wood, Goldbaum & Rappoport. M T, Flynn.
 The following resolution was passed by the board of directors at the meet ing:
 Whereas, The New Haven Business Mems association has always been in favor of the building of suburban troll ley roads which run into New Haven, believing that such roads tend to devel- op the surrounding country and by means of rapid transit service contrib ute very largely to an increase of trade for the merchants of the city, and
 Whereas, This association has from time to time advocated and urged the granting of charters by the legislature for suburban trolley roads to any company which was willing and ready to build such roads, be 1t
 Resolved That it is, and will continue to be the policy of this association to remain neutral in it's relations to dif- ferent trolley companies, and to sup port at all times any effort made by responsible parties to extend or build trolley roads that will contribute to the welfare of New Haven merchants.
 It was voted at the meeting to send copy of these resolutions to the Con- solidated railroad and to MT Sperry, who has been much interested concern ing the building of suburban trolley roads.

spent for war equipment shall not be increased. Comparing conditions in Europe to-day with what they were in 189S it is safe to say that the war risk is 50 per cent. less, and yet the money appropriated last year was 50 per cent. more than it was in 1898"
 In this international peace movement MT. Stead said America must take the lead, Its position of practical security from the friction which arises between European nations, it's history, it's organ ization of states into confederation which typifies the future relation of all nations to each other, all these facts force America to lead this movement. How America may do this through a great pilgrimage and py educational work at all times in the interest of peace was pointed out.
