TEACH FARMERS TO MAKE
nEMATllREn Al Hnhnt

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Dr. II. G..
Wiley, chief OF the bureau OF chem
istry of the department of agriculture.
reported to the House committee on
agriculture the results of experiments
conducted by the bureau to determine
the poisonous effect OF the human nys-
tenn of such drugs as borax, benzoaic.
benzoate OF soda, sulphate of copper.
sulphur dioxide, formaldehyde and
salicylic acid when contained in food
stuffs.
DR.. Wiley said that the expulsion
OF those and kindred drugs from the
body Is performed almost entirely by
the kidneys aid that he is satisfied
the term OF American life would be
heightened if the use of such drugs in
foods were wholly discontinued. He
said he was convinced that kidney
disease. SO prevalent among Americans,
is partly the result of constant intro
duction into the system of u pre-
sentative substances as benzoate OF
| soda carried in foods.
Discussing sulphur dioxide and Its in.
furious effects. DR.. Wiley told the com.
mittee of a discovery just made by him
that salt solution Is a perfect substi.
tute for ulphur in the whitening and
drying Of fruit. He exhibited samples
of apples dried experimentally by the
bureau. The sulphured fruit was not
SO white or tender as the salt cured.
The committee was Informed by DR..
Wiley OF plans to teach the farmers Oh
the United States TO make d~enatured
alcohol. Next August he proposes tc
erect a still at the bureau OF chemistry
and operate it himself for two or three
months, producing denatured alcohol
daily from damaged fruit and vegetable
substances such as a be bought
cheaply in the market. He has invited
the agricultural colleges Of each state
n territory to send representatives
to Washington to observe his still and
master the process of distillation.
THE law permitting the free dis.
tillation of denatured alcohol" said
DR.. Wiley, has not benefited the farm.
ers of the country at all, for they dc
not know how to build a still or run
one. / propose TO teach them through
the agricultural colleges if they want
to learn. Denatured alcohol is NJ ex-
cellent fuel and makes a fine light. Al
1t can be manufactured from farm
waste the farmers ought to avail them
selves of the new law permitting 1t to
be made without imposition OF a rev.

PROGRESS IS SLOW.
Hall-Mays Trial at Portland May Take
Weeks to End.

Portland, Jan. 20.-Neither Prose-
cutor Heney nor the lawyers for the de-
PENDANTS will hazard prediction as to
the time that will web required to con-
clude the Hall-Mays conspiracy trial.
One week already has been consumed
and the government has scarcely made
a beginning, only one of its many i'm
portant witnesses having been examin-
ed. More than 20 witnesses for the
government are in the city, summoned
to testify against one or more of the II
defendants named in the indictment,
but since the prosecution has decided
to try only Hall and Mays at this time,
Mr.. Heney says he may not call all of
the governments witnesses.
In this way the trial may be shorten
ed somewhat, but if all of the witnesses
take the stand, the case will drag along
for weeks. There is little doubt that
between two and three weeks more at
the least will be required to complete
the introduction of testimony and SUBJ
NIT the case to the jury. Thus far the
testimony has not been damaging to
Hail or Mays.

RUSSIAN FOLLOWS FLEET.
Naval Officer of the Gear Watching
Every Movement.


st. Petersburg. Jan. 2O.-The i'm.
portance attached by the Russian ad.
miralty to the lessons to be learned
from the vaoyage of the American bat
tleship feet under Rear Admiral Evans
is shown by the fact that the naval
officer, Commander Alexis Diatchkoff,
is following the fleet around the Horn,
travelling from port to port by any
means he can obtain. He adopted this
course only after his repeated requests
for permission to join the ships had
been refused.
1t is reported here that Diatchkofi
succeeded in getting on board one OF
the American warships at 'Rio Janeiro,
and the entire incident Of this officer e
activities had been source OF some
friction between the Russian foreign
minister here and the admiralty. When
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador
to the United States, was instructed to
ask for permit for Diatchkoff to join
Admiral Evans, he declined on the
grounds that he knew his request would
be unfavorably received at Washington.
Thereupon the Russian admiralty,
after further correspondence with the
Foreign office, instructed Diatchkoff to
apply personally to Secretary Metcalf.
This the officer did, but in vain. He
was therefore ordered to follow the
feet as closely as he could, making use
of private steamers.

MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
But Philippine Delegates Say It Is Too
Soon for Home Rule.

San Francisco, Jan. 2l.-Speaking Of
conditions in the Philippines, Benito
Legarda, delegate to congress, who,
with his colleague, Pablo Ocampa, has
arrived here en- route to Washington,
said today that his people had made
great progress under American rule,
and especially along educational lines,
and added:
"It is useless to talk of independence
now. l want independence, of course,
but how can we have it? That is the
question. l do not care to risk the
property I own in another civil war or
to anarchy that might follow an at
tempt on the part of my countrymen
to govern themselves at present."
1t is asserted that his fellow delegate
would work in harmony while in the
house of representatives, his only aim
being to improve the economic condi-
tions of the islands, worse now than it
has been for 80 years. Both delegates
want to secure, If possible, the reduc-
tion of the United States duties on
Philippine sugar and tobacco. Both
are greatly interested in the Japanese
question.
Legarda is a member of the Progress
sive party, while Ocampo is affiliated
with the National party.

RUFF FORFEiTS IMMUNITY.
District Attorney Langdon Says Ne
gotiations Are Over.

gotiations Are Over.
San Francisco, Jan. 20.-It was an
nounced late Saturday night that the
graft prosecution has determined to dis
continue all negotiations with Abraham
Ruef, the central figure in the graft
cases, in the matter of granting him
immunity. 1t was further stated that
today the prosecution would demand
that Ruef be put on trial before Judge
Dunno on one Of the many charges OF
bribery for which he has been indicted.
This determination of the prosecution
came at the end of several days. fruit
less negotiations with Ruef. 1t is said
that some time ago the prosecution
promised Ruef partial immunity in
consideration of his taking the witness
stand and truthfully testifying in full
to all his transactions with public sery-
ice corporation officials to be tried on
the charge of bribery.
When the District Court OF Appeals
rendered its decision declaring void the
indictments for extortion against ex.
Mayor Schmitz, to which Ruef had al
ready pleaded guilty, it is charged that
Ruef, realizing that the decision placed
him in an advantageous position, de-
manded full immunity. This the pros
ecution would not consent to grant, and
there followed series Of conferences in
which Ruef endeavored to secure better
terms.

PLOT IS REVEALED.
Anarchist Conspiracy in Rio Janelrc
to Blow Up Fleet.

to Blow Up Fleet.
Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 2l.--The Bra
zilian police have discovered an anar-
chistic plot here having as its object
the destruction of part Of the American
fleet now lying in the harbor. The con.
spiracy. while centering in Rio Janeiro
and Petropolis, has ramifications in
Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes.
An individual named Jean Fedher
who resided in Petropolis, was the
chief conspirator here, although it is
understood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot. Fedher is
believed to have fled to Sac Paulo and
the police, who know him, have been
sent to that place fer the purpose OF
apprehending him. One Of the detec-
tives who was we'll acquainted with
Fedher, having served on the police
force at Petropolis for some time, re-
turned from that place today. After
having made investigation there and
had long conference with the chief of
police at Rio Janeiro, the latter gave it
to be understood later that the Sac
Paulo police are on the track of the
arch. conspirator and expect to arrest
him soon.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
GRAFT OLD TREES.
Diseased Orchards In Valley Are to
Be Laid Low.

Corvallis-A movement is being
launched here for a great campaign for
the renovation Of old orchards in the
Willamette valley and other parts Of
Oregon. President Newell, of the state
board Of horticulture, Mr.. Lownsdale,
Mr.. Reid, and large number of the
fruit inspectors Of the various counties
are on the ground and are identified
with the plan. The first gun in the
campaign was fred by M. 0. Lownsdae
in an address before the visiting horti-
culturists and other winter short course
students in college chapel. The ad-
dress met with hearty Endorsement,
and aroused much enthusiasm. The
Agricultural college authorities will
Join in the plan, and in an educational
way and otherwise cooperate to the ut
most extent in furthering the move
ment.
1t is said that within three to five
years complete new orchard can be
made out of the old one, and profit Of
IS to $40 per tree be realized. This
was the assertion of Mr.. Lownsdale in
his address. He says he has accom-.
plished this result with old trees on his
farm, and that it can be done by any
farmer who can do grating or have it
done.
The thing to do, says Mr.. Lownsdale,
is to cut down the old trees. The best
plan is to cut them close to the ground,
leaving the roots intact. This should
be done by the 1st of March. The next
season, from the 10th to the 18th OF
May, such varieties as are best for the
climate and for commercial purposes
should be grated on the three or four
best sprouts. This is the easiest and
most certain plan. Two feet of the old
trunk may be left and the graft applied
to it the first year, and year of time
in reproducing the orchard is gained,
but this requires an expert at grating
in order to be successful. By either
plan the trees will be in good bearing
in from three to five years, and reve-
nue. of IS to $40 each be realized.

LAYS FOUNDATION
FOR PROSECUTION.
Heney Is Moving With Much Caution
In Hall Trial.
Defense Fights Each Step-Few Wit
nesses Examined and Session Is
Largely Given Up to the Reading
of Letters Said to Show That
Conspiracy Existed.

Portland, Jan. 18.-The government
Yesterday continued laying the founda-
tion of the case against John ID. Hail
and Edwin Mays.
Heney introduced some 30 letters,
written from June, 1900, to Septem-
ber, 1902, by Hall, Mays, Loomis,
Stratiord and Putnam. More such let
ters will follow today.
Hall objected seriously to only one
letter, written by Secretary Hitchcock
to Special Inspector A. r. Greene, d.
reeting Greene to investigate the
fences. Heney' purpose is to show
that this investigation was prompted
by settlers, who had appealed vainly to
Hall to act against the fences. Hall
objects to the letter because copy and
not the original letter has been offered
and because 1t is irrelevant. Judge
Hunt will decide the questions this
morning.
Unlike Hall, Mays raised numerous
objections in the course OF the day.
The steps in the governments evil
dence Of conspiracy will be about as
follows:
First-To prove Hall and Mays had
frequent knowledge from protesting set
tiers of the fences as early as March,
1900.
second-That steiwer, Zachary and
Hendricks caused various persons to file
on land for their company, in order to
complete the company's enclosure CT
public land.
Third-That Hall and Mays took no
steps to prosecute the offenders, though
they had full knowledge of the fencing
and the conspiracy for more than three
years.
At this stage, Steiwer is expected to
testify about the alleged understanding
by which Hall and Mays were not to-
prosecute him and his associates. One
of the terms Of this alleged agreement
was Setiwer's vote for Fulton.
George Brownell is expected to testify
that Hall promised him immunity from.
land fraud prosecution for his with
dra wal from the contest for Halls Office.

TALK SPRAY AND PRUNING.
Marion County Fruitmen Plan More
Frequent Meetings.

Salem-The Marion County Horti-
cultural society has decided to hold
either weekly or bi-weekly meetings
the remainder of the winter for the
special purpose Of spreading informa-
tion concerning the proper pruning and
spraying Of fruit trees. 1t has been
found that at one meeting the time is
80 short that all the subjects in which
fruitgrowers are interested cannot be
satisfactorily discussed, and that as a
result the growers get partial informa-
tion, which is Of little practical use to
them. At the weekly or bi-weekly
meetings, special subjects will be taken
up, varying according to the particular
portion of their work the growers are
about to perform. Thus the subject of
pruning will be one Of the first consid-
cred for the reason that the pruning
season is now on. After that spraying
will be the subject of lectures and
demonstrations Use of fertilizers,
methods and time of cultivation, thin
ming fruit, ETC., will be taken up as
occasion seems to demand.

TENANTS IN RIOTS.
Object to Paying More Than Rate
Thev Fix There 'es

They Fix Thers' es
New York, Jan. 1S.-Forcible resist
anCe by tenants whom an Upper East
Side landlord was trying to evict result
ed yesterday in the gathering of crowd
Of two thousand or more sympathizers'
in the neighborhood, who made So
much trouble for the police that the
precinct reserves were called out. Dur
ing the rioting four women and num-
Der OF men were taken into custody.
The riotous demonstration began
when city marshal and about 25 as
sistants visited the block on the south
side of East One Hundred and Fourth
street, between First and Second ave-
nues, with 80 dispossess warrants for
families who had unitedly demanded
reductions in rents OF dollar month
and had refused to pay the landlord 8
collector more than the new rate they
had fxed. The taking out OF the furn-
iture from the rooms of the first family
visited was the signal for an attack on
the marshal and his men by scores OF
tenants.
Angry women surrounded q patrol
man who had gone to the marshals as
sistance and had half torn his coat from
his back when assistance arrived. He
arrested four women. Several demon
strative men were also sent to the sta
tion house. The police were by this
time struggling with little success to,
disperse an increasing crowd of angry
demonstrators, but other arrests by the
officers finally had the effect of putting
stop to the trouble.
The immediate purpose of the dem
onstration was effected, the marshal
deciding not to attempt the serving of
more dispossess warrants at the time.
