TO AID MONEY MARKET.
Secretary COrteIyOu VIII Follow Last Year'a Plan With Qualifications.


 Years Plan With Notifications. New York. August 14.-Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, according to The Times. has decided again to come to the relief of the money market. and distribute government funds to aid the movement of crops this year. The plan pursued last year is to be followed, with some notifications, but in general 1t will be that adopted by Secretary Shaw in his regime.
 One of the ideas in the minds of the officers of the treasury department Is that the government should place it's funds in the banks subject to withdrawal by check.
 It is not expected that anything like the amount needed last year will be called for this season. If it Is. the treasury will be in better shape to meet the call as under an act of the last congress, customs receipts may be deposited in the banks.

HARRIS AGAIN HEARD
Former Negro Sergeant Said That
the TWenty-Fifth Infantry Was
Displeased at Entering "a.
Icons In Rear.

Washington, Feb THE hearing
fair was resumed by the senate COM
nlittee on military affairs Tuesday A
large map of Fort Brown barracks and
the city of Brownsville, which had
been placed On the wall of the commit
tee rom, was carefully studied by the
senators. The witnesses, whose num-
Der had grown to twenty, were again
corfaled in one of the corridors of the
senate, and only one of them allowed
to enter the committee room at
time.
The session began with former Ser
geant Harris of Company D still on
the stand under a sharp fire of cross
questions by Senator Warren.
Mr.. Warren's questions related large
ly to the time when the soldiers were
called for the roll call and inspection.
He could not definitely state the time,
but said that it was very early In the
morning. 1t might have been $50, but
it was not really dark. Senator Lodge
then stated that the records Of the ma
val observatory showed that the sun
rose at Brownsville on Aug. IA at 5:27
a. m.
Senator Warren had the witness de-
tail the trouble that had previously
occurred between citizens and mem
bers of the Twenty-fifth infantry at
/ ort Mcintosh and San Antonio, Tex,
and the witness said that on account
of the feeling engendered against the
soldiers he had determined not to re-
enlist, and was continually expecting
trouble because of prejudice against
the race. Senator Everman asked the
witness if he ever had any trouble,
and he repliad, mo, sir"
Harris saia he was not treated bad
ly. He did not put himself in posi-
ton to be so treated, but that the
men generally complained because
they were compelled to enter saloons
by the rear door He could not give
an instance of Ill treatment of others,
but he wanted, he said, 1.-The American
right of going where he pleased"
The witness believed the firing on
the night of the Brownsville affair had
come principally from Winchesters
and six-shoters because he said he was
familiar with the sounds of various
makes of weapons, and that he heard
no firing from Springfield rifles, with
which the Twenty-fifth was equipped.
The witness was then excused and
the committee adjourned until Wed

THE CATTLE TICK.


With some exceptions, the lavman ha
little knowledge of the cattle tick, an,
applying himself to his vocation, pro
fessionally, commercially or otherwise
gives himself little concern about The
tick
AS stated in the circular letter of the
Crop Pest Commission, in this issue o.
The Caucasian, the Southern States sus-
tanned last year loss of forty millions
of dollars, in the death OF cattle infested
with the Texas fever cattle tick.
This loss considered, the calamity is
stupendous, and yet this pest may be ex-
terminated in time.
1t may be recalled that during the pro-
greSs of the State Fair of Louisiana
near Shreveport in 1906, the Agricul-
tural Department of this State under
the direction of Colonel Schuler, there
was portrayed on canvas the ravages OF
the cattle tick, which left the most vivid
impression on those who attended these
exhibitions The contrast between the
cattle affected and not affected with the
Texas fever cattle tick was strikingly
amazing.
1t has been well said that for every
evil there is an antidote and cure. The
lessons taught by these demonstrations
are invaluable, not only as to the dis
eases which decimate cattle, but the de
struction by the myriads of bugs, insects
and weevils which prey on the products
of the farm. Viewed then from a prac-
teal sense of economy, the work of the
Agricultural Department, including the
Crop Pest Commission, has been the
means of advising the farmer and plant
er and cattle raiser with suggestions
which have been followed, resulted ben
eficially.
There was time when the book
farmer was derided for practicing his
new tangled notions" but even the
back numbers which are now few and
far between, concede that brain must
predominant ovef muscle in agriculture
as in other pursuits if success is de-
sired with profit for honest efforts in
industry.
This circular of the Crop Pest Com
mission is all-important and should re-
ceive the fullest consideration of those
having an interest in cattle.

Ne" York, Feb. many and con

serious differences of opinion as to
the conduct of the defense in the Thaw

night. The reports were based chiefly
on the understanding that Thaw's
choice of John B. Gleason as the lead
ing factor in the defense was not salts
factory to the other attorneys, particu-
larly Delmas and McPike
From one source it was declared that
five of the attorneys had told Mr.
Gleason that he must not usurp ii.
chief role OF the defense, or If he did
the others would retire from the case
Elsewhere it was declared on anes-
ed authority that the matter had been
referred to Thaw, who had elected
that Mr.. Gleason be deposed

declared. was that at conference
held on Monday night Thaw's legal ad-
visers decided not to call Dr. c. G.
Wiley, the Pittsburg alienist, as wit

therefore, with the greatest surprise
that they heard his name called by
Mr.. Gleason as the first witness. 1t
had also been their intention to call
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, but this was
frustrated. In spite of al these reports
