Government to TRY the Effects OF
Electricity on Plants.
Prof. Albert F. Wood, assistant
chief of the bureau Of plant indus
try. department of agriculture at
Washington, is at work on line Of
experiments which, if expected re-
suits are obtained, will eliminate the
word backward, as applied to
crops, from the farmers vocabulary.
He proposes to use electricity as a
means Of fastening the growth Of
plants and vegetables. That is, be
expects to make it possible to farm
by electricity.
Prof. Wood says that in Germany
certain crops are raised by electricity.
why cannot the same be done in the
United States? he asks himself.
Near the department Of agri-
culture a plot Of ground has been
overIayed and underlayed with a
system Of wires. When the weather
becomes warmer seed will be planted
and the current turned on Prof.
Wood says that the experiments COZ
ducted in Germany show that by

and that they contain more sugar.

Marchioness Of Headfort Com
pliments American Women.
Men Work Too Much Here
English Too Little.

New York, May 14-Before her de-
parture for England with her husband.
the Marchioness of Headfort, who has
been in America for several weeks,
discussed international marriages,
American society and a new labor the
ory, which she dubs "a six-hour work
day." She said:
Il like American women better than
American men. 1 was astonished to go
to luncheon where there were only
women. In England We always have
men to talk to three times a day. But
l found that 1t was rather CHEEKY be-
ing with women and of course the wo-
men here are so refreshing and differ
ent. The type has an individuality
that explains the success of American
women in foreign society. But I did
not see many men.
Il think both the English and Amer
lean men might revise their modes OF
life. The Englishman doesn't work
enough and becomes one-sided; the
American works too much. Why can't
they strike a happy medium. Six hours
a day is quite long enough for man
to work.
1.-THE combination of English and
American is especially happy. I am
enthusiastic on the subject of interna-
tfonal marriages. 1 believe the Ameri-
cans do not care to see their heiresses
marry foreigners, but isn't that a bit
selfish? America has lots of money
and can easily spare the millions. ]
know so many American wives of Eng
lishmen who are absolutely happy, but
of course they are the persons one
never hears of. The children of these
unions seem high type physically and
intellectually and one should work a
bit for posterity.

ho nfrio ic.r
The brotherhood of the two lands has
been emphasized often and the English
look upon Americans with genuine ap-
probation and affection"

SHOOTEACHOTHER
French and Spanish So diers
Clash at Casa Blanca.
Great Excitement at Spain's
Capital as Result.

Casa Blanca. May 14.-There was an
French and Spanish troops quartered
in the port. The Spaniards fired first
it is alleged, and the French Zouaves
replied in kind. One Spaniard was
killed and another wounded, while the
French and two men wounded. At
the conclusion of the incident Colonel
Desmoutiers assumed command over
the area reserved, under the policing
agreement, to Spain. The encounters
took place at one of the city gates.
1t was the outcome of a quarrel be-
tween some Spanish and an Algerian.
The Algerian was knocked down and
beaten by the Spaniards and is now
dying. A sergeant of zouaves, who
was in charge of the gate rushed to
the rescue of the sharpsh ooter and
with the aid of a French subaltern
tried to intervene. The sergeant and
this point some Spaniards who were
behind a wall opened fire. The inter-
change of shots continued for some
minutes, with the result stated. The
firing from the French side was done

LOSS OF BUSINESS.
Has Caused a Shrinkage in Demand
for White Paper.

Washington, May 1.-THE select COM
mittee of the house which is investigat-
ing the wood pulp and print paper
question is working hard to conclude
it's work in time to make a report at
this session of congress. To further
this end Chairman Ham announced
that the committee probably will hold
night sessions.
John Norris, the representative Of the
newspaper publishers, was on the stand
during the entire day yesterday an
swering questions as to statements he
had made during the investigation.
Mr.. Norris said that there had been
a material decrease in the demand for
print paper since December. He said
that shrinkage in advertising began
in New York about November 10 last.
and that it averaged about 10 columns
per day for each paper. One paper, a
Sunday issue, shrunk 130 columns as
compared with the corresponding Sun
day of the previous year. The average
advertising in the Sunday papers, he
said, shrunk about 80 columns.
What was the character of the adj
vertising that shrunk?" asked Chair
man Mann.
''It was largely of the luxuries. like
automobiles. There also was shrink
age in real estate advertisements"

ter of a system for numbering and
fleeing those persons who followed
the trails of bait, which led to the
barnyard cemetery on the place.
Outside of this there was nothing
of magnitude.
The attorneys for the defense are
said to be looking for David Havens,
who it is reported, aided in uncover
ing the bodies of the persons whom
Lamphere is accused of numbering.
According to the information cur
rent here they claim that Havens was
declared an undesirable citizen by
Sheriff Shutter and ordered away
from Laporte shortly after the fire.
The attorneys also claim that Havens
has declared that when the bodies
were found in the cellar of the Gun
ness home on April %, that they
were lying on the floor and that there
was no debris under them. They as
sert that testimony to this effect at
client of the charges against him, ar
guing that the circumstances show
that the bodies had been placed in
the cellar previous to the beginnin e
of the fire which destroyed the farm
house.
The testimony of other men, who
helped Sheriff Shutter uncover the
corpses and of the sheriff himself Is
against this supposition. In addition
the findings of the physicians who ex-
amined the corpses established the
fact that the persons burned
were clothed in night robes and
that remains Of bedding and mat
tresses were also present. If Havens,
when found substantiates the claims
of the defense, an interesting conflict
of testimony is likely to follow. ....

warrants, etc. The United States
Fidelity and Guarantee Co., will show
conclusive proof in the admissions of
the state itself in the case of the State
VS.. The Guarantee Title and Trust Co..
Of Scranton. Pa, which corporation is
surety for Kelly's bond as state
treasurer, and which case Is now
pending in this court, that by the
allegations of the state in this case
that Kelly did wrong in handling the
states money and violated his official
duty for his own ends and purposes
in handling and depositing the states
money.
THE evidence shows that Kelly did
not place the immense sums he did in
the First National for collection as
arrangement. He was either mighty
good fellow or receiving compensation
for allowing other people to use the
states funds. Instead of keeping the
bulk of the states money in the state
treasury as he was required by law to
there on an average, or just enough
to supply pressing wants. while he
kept over a half million dollars in the
First National bank all the time, and
as much more in the other two banks
used as state repositories. He would
cash checks for his friends out of the
state treasury in order to save them
exchange and then turn these doubt
full checks into the First National for
collection to offset the taking of good
money from the state treasury.
'On March 20. 1905, the new law
passed by the legislature that year
tightening the protection Of state
funds went into effect Under its rul-
ing there was noiauthority for the de-
posting of money in the First Ma
tional bank, but Kelly kept pouring
the money into this bank. He de-
posted there $96,661.18 after this law
went into effect On March 1 he had
$6o6,0OO of the states money on de-
posit there. On March 81 he had
$612,0O0 there. On May he had
$638,0O0 there. On May 81 he had
$576,OOO there and he had over half
million there when the bank failed
in July of that year. He only drew
money from this bank as he needed it
after permission to have any state
money there at all had been repealed
by law. In May, 1905. Kelly received
from the treasurer Of Shawnee county
these was for $1,000 and the other
four for $4,000 each. One Of these
latter checks was drawn on the First
National bank. The other four checks
were drawn on four different Topeka
banks. Did Kelly go to these four
could and should have done? No. He
went to the First National and de-
posted all five of these checks for q
total of $45,000. We will show that
he not only did not comply with the
law governing the deposits of state
funds, but opened up a straight ac-
count of his own for all purposes with
the First National bank and not for
collection at all. using the states
money as though 1t was not hampered
or restricted in any way by law. We
will show that Kelly's actions in this
handling of the state funds directly
contrary to law have placed the state
in position where 1t can look only to
Kelly and his sureties for the re-
covery of any money it may have lost
in the failure of the First National
bank"
