PLEADS FOR FARM BOY.
Secretary Wilson Asks That He be
 Turned Home.


 Washington Post.
 Combined with a rich plea for the American farm. the American home and the American stomach James Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture in an address to the members Of the Eastern Manual Training Association, al the opening session of their annual meeting in the Business High school' made a request for aid in combating the influx of farmers boys into the cities.
 II wish tc make a plea for the Amer ican farmer" said Secretary Wilson for I belong to that class myself. l believe that the farmer is of more importance to the state than any other man. and I think that the fact that the American boy is loath to stay upon the farm of his fathers is a nat ional menace. The nation Is becoming aware that there is something wrong with our attitude toward agricultural pursuits.
 The soaring prices of wheat and beef have drawn our attention to the subject, for the stomach is a great educator.
 Scientific Instruction Neglected.
 The time is fast coming when the common people won't be able to eat meat at all and poor people cannot
 
 Because we have not instructed our boys in scientific methods of sgri- culture by which they could make a cuccess of the farm. As result, they, are leaving for the factory and the railway shop; where they can make more money. and agriculture, the most important occupation in the world. is being neglected. I believe that you are doing an inestimable service to the youth of our land in teaching them practical occupations. and l urge you to start the trend of migration back to the farm. The normal schools of the Southern States have already start ed the good work"
 Secretary Wilson praised the indust- rial educators for their work in teach ing domestic science to the girls of the land.
 T want to see the girl who can cook a meal before she sits down Tn the evening to play the piano" he said. and l would be glad to see her able to take d twenty mile gallop on horse back after she has done 1t.

FREE CAR RIDES
IN CLEVELAND, O.
TROLLEY WAR ENDS; PEOPLE
CELEBRATE
ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF DAY
PLANNED
Three-Cent Rate VIII Go Into Effect
Today, Following Settlement
of Long Con-
test

By Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. April 2s.-Street car
service was absolutely free today. not
a fare being rung up on any car with
in the city limits. This action was de-
cided upon late last night after the
papers had been finally signed ending
the long street car war, in order that
the occasion might be duly commem-
GRATED.
It is purposed to celebrate the same
date each year with free street car
service. The entire railway system of
the city was today operated by the
Municipal Traction company, the new
holding company.
For three months a penny extra will
be charged for a transfer. At the ex-
piration of that time, however, it Is
announced, the transfers will be issued
without extra cost.
1t was announced this afternoon
that the Scent rate of fare will go into
effect tomorrow morning, instead of at
the expiration of ten days, as had
previously been planned. 1t was also
announced today that all the conduct
ors and motormen employed on the
old Cleveland street railway lines will
receive anincrease of one cent an hour
In order to put them on the same wage
basis as the men employed on the
other lines taken over by the holding
company. About 5000 men will be af-
fected by the increase.

BLUEJAcKETs OBJECT TO
SANTA BARBARA PRICES

With only four hours between trains
in which to enjoy the time a large
number of sailors from the fleet sta
toned at Santa Barbara yesterday,
came down to Los Angeles.
-Four hours in Los Angeles is worth
a century in Santa Barbara or any
other city," said one of the sailor boys
of the Missouri yesterday
Santa Barbara isn't anything like
this town. When we were here last
week there wasn't anything too good
for us and If we didn't see what we
wanted they came around and handed
it to u.s. we didn't even have to ask.
Sat Santa Barbara they certainly
are making the most of the fact that
the boys were paid off Saturday. One
oyster stew cost me a dollar, glass
of beer Is ten cents a throw and about
everything else is in proportion. When
we were down here our money was no
good. When we wanted a glass of beer
we walked into a saloon and got 1t,
and the barkeep threw a fit If we Of
fered to pay. When we walked into
a restaurant and ate a meal, our mon
ey was counterfeit when we faced the
cashier. We never were treated so
swell in our lives as we were in Los
Angeles, and we never were so badly
used anywhere as they have been
treating us in Santa Barbara The
townspeople are all right, although
they didn't provide any entertainment
for the men of the fleet, but the trades
people, especially the little merchants,
are getting all they can out Of US"

TRIP WITH THAW FATAL
TO A DEPUTY SHERIFF
Officer in New York Who Took Slayer
of White to Asylum Dies of
Cold Contracted on
Journey
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-There is
sorrow in the sheriffs office because of
the sudden death of Deputy Sheriff
Joseph Bell, captain of the squad that
takes prisoners to Sing Sing. In
eleven years he took $4,000 prisoners
from the Tombs prison and delivered
them to the various penal institutions
to which they had been sentenced.
He had the reputation of never hav-
ing lost a man.
1t was Bell who took Harry X. Thaw
to the insane asylum at Matteawan,
Daniel OReilly, one of Thaw's counsel,
who went along, says Bell caught a
severe cold while conducting Thaw
from Fishkill Landing to Matteawan
and that he really never recovered
from it.
81 guess that trip killed poor Joe
Bell" said Mr.. O'Reilly.
Among the noted prisoners to whom
Bell had been shackled were DR.. sam
uel j. Kennedy, tried three times for
murder; ZAP Adams, the policy king,
who after term in Sing Sing COM
mitted suicide; Roland B. Molineaux,
who upon his second trial for murder
was acquitted; Albert Patrick, now
serving a life sentence for the MURDER
of William March Rice, and Thomas
Tobin, who died in the electric chair
for the murder of Capt. Craft.
Because he always spoke q KIND
word to the men he had to deliver at
the doors of prisons, Bell became
known as "Big Hearted Joe."

MONARCHIS
IN DANGER
OUTRAGE MAY BE ATTEMPTED
BY REPUBLICANS
OPENING OF PARLIAMENT TODAY
SIGNAL FOR TROUBLE
Financial Dealings of Royal Family
Furnish Basis for Court Scans
dal-Large Sum Is
Stolen

BY Associated Press
LISBON, April 2S-Great concern
exists lest the reopening of parliament
tomorrow may be the occasion of a.
fresh outrage-possibly an attempt on
the life of the young king, who, in
accordance with traditions, must go
in state to the cortes to pronounce the
opening.
The city is full of troops and the
entire route from the Necessidades
palace to the parliament house will be
lined with soldiers. The king will
travel in a closed carriage surrounded
by lancers.
Some time ago plot was diaebvered,
said to be a direct sequel bf the
tragedy of February, and man named
Halanaque was arrested, butt the police
failed to procure incriminktihg evil
dence and he was released.5S
To Revive Scandal
The Republicans dissidenks and
Francoists seem to have completed
preparations to precipitate an on
slaught on the government Shortly
after parliament opens by reviving the
scandals in connection with the royal
ladvances" obtained by the late King
Carlos from the state treasury. Tho
young king apparently sincerely de-
|sires to make every possible amend;
he wanted the whole question investi-
gated and repeatedly expressed his in
tention of repaying to the treasury
the money Illegally advanced. No COM
mission, however. was appointed.
1t now leaks out that the secret of
the failure to comply with the kings
request was that the amount accred-
tied to the king on the treasury books
was not $500,000, as everybody sup
posed, but that the sum liquidated by
France was approximately $1,500,000.
The most sensational revelation,
however, is that the royal family act
ually received only 100000, the remain
ing $800000 having been absorbed in
the process of transmission by the "ro-
tatives" then in control.
King Manuel, when he takes the
oath of the sovereign on May 6, will
grant a general amnesty to all political
prisoners, excepting those involved in
the murder of his father and brother.

Headgear

By Associated Press.
TACOMA, April 28.-Owing to the
number of claims being presented for
broken spectacles, smashed derbies and
scratched faces due to violent contact
with MERRY Widow hats, the man
ayers of the local street car company
