fey Report

Washington, March 27.--President
Roosevelt and Representative Diekms
Of Michigan are said to have shaken
fists at each other during an argu.
ment over ths case Of Judge L. R.
Wiifey Of St. Louis, Judge of the
American Court at Shanghai. Charges
were preferred against Wiley, and
the Judiciary Committee Of the House,
Of which Diekma is a member, was
instructed by the House to investi-
gate. While the committee was sift-
ing the case, the President issued a
letter generating the Judge and
pitching into his "defamers.'
The President is said to have sent
for Diekma to tell him that the com
mittee was too offlcious in going
further into the case than they had
been instructed. Diekma retorted
pretty warmly, and for five minutes
the top Of the big desk In the Presi-
dents Office was converted into a
drum, each in the argument treating
IL to q goodly number OF fist thumps
When the argument was ended
neither had convinced the other, and
Diekma left the White House In q
highly-excited state Of mind.

HADLEY NOT TO RuEa
Report at Jefferson City Is That Ill
Health VIII Compel Attorney
General to Withdraw

Jefferson City. April 2.-That At
torney-General Herbert s. Hadley
will not be a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for governor
owing to the condition or his health
is the impression which prevails here
1t is stated, upon what is considered
reliable authority, that he will issue
a statement within the next two OF
three days definitely announcing that
he will not make the race.
For several weeks the state ol
General Hadley's health has beer
such that his physicians fear that .
campaign for governor would breal
him down. A few days ago Genera
Hadley went to Kansas City ant
specialists carefully examined him
1t is believed that they advised hin
to stay out Of the gubernatorlal race
and to take long rest following bill
retirement from the office OF attorney
general. His recent illness, from
which be is now partially recovered
was due to pleurisy.
It is believed that II he withdraw
from the race for governor he will moi
seek any other Office. II General Had
ley decides to stay out 1t is believed
that John O. Mckinley, lieutenant
governor; John e, Swanger, secretary
Of state, and J. Fl. Boutwell,, vice
chairman of the Republican statt
committee, may become candidates.

the feeding back on to the land as
much Of the farm crops grown .as pos
sible.
The phosphorus supply is built up
first, by the feeding back OF crops on
the land as mentioned for nitrogen,
and second, by the addition OF some
form Of commercial phosphate such
as steamed bone meal, superphosphate
or the ground rock phosphate. On
very many OF the thin lands OF North
east Missouri the addition Of these
phosphates will pay rather large fin
ancial returns.
The analyses as well as the expert
ments Indicate that the soil especially
on the fiat wet areas Of the prairie is
inclined to lack lime; consequently the
use of lime as a corrective OF sourness
on this soil may be sometimes used to
an advantage.
The results OF these experiments
with corn, wheat, oats and clover on
these experimental fields fare now
available and they will be taken up
from time through the kindness nf the
local papers. M. +. Miller,

Costs Her $500, 600 a Year


New York, March 3o.--Speaking OF
the reported engagement Of Anna
Gould and Prince Helie de Sagan to-
night Mrs. George Gould said:
1.-THE situation is most distressing.
Anna is madly infatuated with Prince
Helie. Gould will never in the world
give his consent TO a second marriage
into that family. The consent Of the
executors Of Grandfather Gould estate
must be obtained to any marriage or a
portion Of the legacy will be forfeit
ed.n
The section Of the will to which
Mrs. Gould referred Is numbered seven
In the codicil written November 81,
1898. threads:
thereby declare and provide that II
any Of my children shall marry with
out my consent during my lifetime, or
thereafter without the consent Of a
majority OF the then executors and
trustees under this will, then and in
that event the share allotted to the
child SO marrying In and by said will
and codicil shall be reduced one-half
and the principal Of the other half Of
the said share shall be paid, assigned,
transferred or set over to such persons
as under the laws Of the state Of New
York would take the same IL died
intestate.
In various suits against Mime Gould,
when she was Countess de Castellane,
it was brought out that her share OF
the Gould estate was is million dol
lars and that the income had averaged
$500, 900 a year. II she persists In
marrying the Prince de Sagan without
the consent Of three Of the executors
of the will she would lose n

come. The executors provided by Jay
Gould are George J. Gould, Edwin
Gould, Howard Gould and Helen M,
Gould.
George Gouid is definitely known to
be Internationally opposed to the
match. Howard Gould is having
matrimonial troubles of his own and is
paying little attention to the rest the
Of family. Edwin Gould is the hardest
working member Of the family and
has so far maintained absolute silence.
Helen Gould is believed to be hostile
to the match. Miss Gould was not overly
demonstrative when she met her sister
at the pier. They have not been seen
together since the Prince de Sagan
threw of bis disguise.

The Composition of Northeast Mis-
souri, Soils.

The Composition of Northeast Mis-
souri, Soils.
The Agricultural Experiment Sta
tionat Columbia is engaged in max
ing a soil survey OF the state outlining
the verious soil types and making
chemical examination Of each A
feature Of this work, also, is the car
rylng out the field experiments with
fertilizers and other soil treatments
on the more important soil types Of
the state. Several experimental
fields have been established In North
east Missouri at the following loca-
tions: Monroel City. Bowling Green,
Vandalia, Hurdland, High Hill and
Unionville. The analyses Of soils both
from these fields and from samples
taken In other counties, show that the
prairie land Of this region lacks ap-
proximatelY one half Of the nitrogen,
two-thirds of the phosphorus that a
very fertile soil should contain, while
its potassium supply Is ample, For the
white oak timber land Of this region
the same deficiencies exist except In a
more marked degree. Such land lacks
something over oue-half It's nitrogen
as rule, and about three-fourths Its
phosphorus while the potassium Is
usually sufficient. As these three ele-
ments are the ones which are com.
monty lacking In soils, II can readily
be seen that In order to make this land
productive attention must be given to
the building up Of the elements nitro
gen and phosphorus.
The experiments which have been
conducted on these experimental fields
Corr0bcrate very substantially the re-
suits of these analyses. They show,
for instane, that the addition Of nitro
gen in any form is always accompanied
BY an increased crop production while
practically the same is true Of the ele'
ment phosphorus.
In a practical way the methods Of
building up aud maintaining the
nitrogen supply is first, the adoption
of a crop rotation which shall prevent
the rapid burning out Of humus and
nitrogen; second, the growing Of legu
minous crop such as clover and COW
peas, which crops have the power Of
adding nitrogen to the soil from tine
air, through the means Of the bacteria
which exist on their roots; third, By
