GRASS FOR SEMI-ARID REGION
Department of Agriculture Seeks
Grasses that VIII Grow on
Western Range.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-To increase the
supply of beef and thereby lessen its cost
TO the American householder Is one of the
principal objects underlying the efforts Of
the Department of Agriculture to secure
clover, alfalfa or other grass that will
thrive in the semi-arid regions Of the north
west. Beef and beef products are said to
have reached the highest record In twenty
years and the dealers claim that this is
due to the scarcity of cattle.
1t is to increase the supply of beef by
increasing the grass belt in the west that
the Department of Agriculture has again
sent NssF. Hansen or Broolsinss, I'D. to
make thorough investigation OF the plant
life In northern Russia and Siberia Prof.
Hansen will visit the sections OF northern
Europe and Asia. where climate conditions
are similar to those of the semi-arid lands
of Wyoming. Colorado Montana and the
Dakotas. II an alfalfa or clover can be
found which will Withstand these cli-
matte conditions, 100 head of cattle could be
grazed on the land now required by ten.

STORM GIVES SOLDIERS TEST
New York GuRrdsmen's Tents Leveled
and PaymaSter's Money Scat

NEW YORK, June l5,-Pine Plains. the
concentration camp of the federal soldiers
and National Guardsmen was torn up from
one end to the other OF Its seven miles Of
territory yesterday by the most severe
wind and rain storm that has visited that
section for years. Tents were blown down
mess shelters We're leyelled and more than
100 horses stampeded and escaped from
their corals.
II was the soldiers first drill of the sum
mer season OF maneuvers, but II was not
OF the kind anticipated The storm came
with little warning. The 5000 soldiers i'm
the numerous company streets had hardly
began to strengthen their tert fastenings.
when the wind tore across the plains from
the east and carried practically everything
before H. In some OF the company streets
every tent was levelled.
Paymaster John S. Mallory was paying
off the Twelfth United States infantry
when the storm descended. He had ar
ranged the morey in heaps OF bills, pre-
paratory To distributing them. Attempts
TO get the money back into the strong boxes
were unsuccessful and in a moment-Che air
was full OF currency. Bills OF many
scattered over a territory a mile or more.
and probably the greater part Of the money
will be recovered.

BoNAPARTE STAYS IN CABINET
NO Truth in stories of differences
Between Him and the
President.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-"The presi-
dent and Attorney General Bonaparte in
tend to go out of office on March and
Mr.. Bonaparte has just as little idea as
the president of going out sooner"
This statement was made at the White
House today in reply to rumors that
there existed serious difference between
the president and his attorney general
that would probably lead to Mr. Bona
parties leaving the cabinet soon after the
election. The differences cited in this
connection related to the removal of Dis
trict Attorney Ruiek and United States
Marshal Rounds of Idaho which 1t was
declared was opposed by Mr.. Bonaparte
and insisted upon by the president and
in relation to alleged differences over
bringing a suit against the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad COM
pany.
At the White House today II oe-
clared that the removal of Ruick and
Rounds was determined on six months
ago. but 1T was deemed best to wait until
certain suits on which they were engaged
were concluded and then to have As
sistant Attorney General Cooley go to
Idaho and while on the ground recommend
who should be their successors. Mr-
Cooley's recommendations have been re-
ceived and after the attorneysgenerdl calls
at the White House tomorrow the appoint
ments doubtless will be agreed upon, 1t
| is positively asserted that there las never
been the slightest difference Of any kind
between the president and the attorney
| general in regard to this matter, both
agreeing that the charges against Ruick
and Rounds Justified their removal.
"A sample of the ludicrous Inconsistency
in these stories," IT was said at the White
House today, SIS shown by what was said
by the papers representing the Wall street
views in the Mellen case, in which IL
was, first of all, asserted that suit had
been brought by Mr., Bonaparte against
the New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company against the presidents
wish and that the attorney general threat
ened to resign If he could not bring It,
Two or three days later 1t was asserted
the president had forced Mr.. Bonaparte
to bring the suit TO punish President
Mellen because the Connecticut member of
the republican national committee had
not voted for the administrators policy
The fact was exactly the reverse; the
president and Mr.. Bonaparte had agreed
over three months previously that the
suit should be brought. There never mad
been the slightest question except as 10
whether the suit should be brought in New
Haven or Boston and there never HAD been
suspicion of difference between the
president and the attorney general"
| 1t is said there are MANY cases in the
Department of Justice with which the
president is not familiar, but it so hap.
pened with this case; he was familiar
with 1t and approved all that was done.

MAKE PLANS FoR NoTIFIcATION
Ohio Delegation Accepts Taft's NOmi-
nation as Assured.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The Ohio contln-
gent accept the Taft nomination as such
an accomplished fact that they are max
ing preparations for an impressive Demon
stration when the notification of his noml-
nation is formally conveyed to aim. Inc
question came up today when the delega-
ton considered names for the various
committees and agreed to ask Charles IA.
Taft, brother Of the secretafyi 70 serve on
the committee Of notification.
Secretary Taft will go to his Cincinnati
home at the time OF the notification and
II was felt to be appropriate that mis-
brother Charles should have the honor or
representing Ohio when the notification or
his nomination is formally conveyed. Mr..
Taft did not share in this view, however,
and felt that his relations to the secretary
should eliminate him from the notification
committee Mr. TAFT was proof against
all persuasion and the delegation
turned to former Governor Herrick, who
will doubtless be named on this notlfies-
tion committee.
The first formal meetings of all the
Ohio delegation is fixed for this afternoon.
when the following organization already
tentatively agreed will be contaminated:

TROUSERS FROM ADMIRAL TOGO
Texas Delegates Hit Upon Novel
Method to Advertise State.

CHICAGO, June IA remarkable pair
of trousers to be presented to Secretary
Taft in the name of the state of Texas
when he shall have become the republican
candidate for president are on their way
TO Chicago and are attracting the atten-
ton of the politicians. incidentally, it is
said. the trousers are intended to focus
eyes on Texas and the Angora goat indus
try OF the state, for the pants are made of
mohair, the product of clippings from a
famous Texas Angora goat. and they are
intended TO be worn by the republican nom
inee for president il It be Taft. II the
nominee should be Cannon, or Hughes, or
Knox, or Fairbanks, the advertising will
be lost to Texas, for the mohair already
has been made up in a pair of trousers ac-
cording TO the secretarys measurement.
The idea is that Of John B, Darlington,
secretary OF the Business Mems club of
San Antonio He has written to Cecil A.
Lyon, member of the national committee
of Texas. that ten pounds OF wool had been
sent to him by Frank o. Landrum, a great
breeder, the wool being six months clip
ping from Admiral Togo" whose sire was
imported from South Africa. The business
men of San Antonio sent the wool to Phil
adelphia and had It made into mohair
which IN tibn was sent 10 Mr.. Iatts taller
in Washington and made into a pair OF
trousers for the secretary of war. The
Texas business men expected that Mr.. Taft
would be in Chicago during the convention
and ordered the trousers sent to Colonel
Lyon for presentation to the secretary
They are now enroute here.
A telegram announcing the fact that the
trousers had been expressed from Wash
ington was decided by Mr.. Lyon today and
he Immediately made preparations Of a
proper reception. The program is as yet
| imperfect. but II will include the exhibition
Of the trousers at the Coliseum II Taft IL
nominated. The Texas delegation will seeI
to lead the column through the aisles II
the usual procession OF enthusiastic dele
gates. of which a nomination invariably Il
! the signal. Colonel Lyon expects to have
tho trousers hoistsd upon the Texas
standard
