JASTR0 TAKEN SICK.
One of Speakers at White House Con-
ference Stricken.

Washington, May 14.@The White
House conference was greatly shocked
when they learned of the serious ill
ness of H. A. Jastro of California,
president of the American National
Live Stock association, who was to
have been the second speaker at the
afternoon session on Grazing and Stock
Raising. Mr.. Jastro was taken sud-
deny i'll at the White House and had
to be removed to one of the local ho-
tells. The nature of his illness is not
known. His address was read by w.
c. Barnes of New Mexico
Discussing the grazing problem in
the southwest, a problem resulting
from the wastefuI methods of the early
settlers, Mr.. Jastro said the cattle
men are at last reused to the fact that
better methodSmust be followed of their
business will be ruined. Some plan of
government control however, would be
necessary in order to secure to stock
men a permanency in their business
which they do not now. nor can they
ever enjoy under our present land
laws.
Mr.. Jastro advocated as a remedy for
the evil which menaces an industry
valued at 800, 900, the system of
management under which public lands
withdrawn for purposes of forest pro-
lection are now being restored to their
former splendid condition.

HEALTHIER FOR TROOPS.
Killing OFF Mosquitoes and Using
More Quinine at Potomac Forts.

Washington. May 14.-Careful at
tention to the eradication of the
mosquito and the destruction of it's
breeding places, thorough screening
of the buildings and the use of
quinine by army surgeons at Forts
Hunt and Washington, on the Po-
tomac river during the year has re-
suited in very decided reduction of
the sick rate. Last year those posts
were distinguished by having the
highest malarial rate in military posts
in the United States, but through the
efforts of the medical officers the sick
rate from malarial fever at Fort
Washington has been reduced to less
than one-half of the preceding year,
while the reduction at Fort Hunt has
been to about one-third.- In all re-
spects the showing is most satisfac-
tory. For that matter the malarial
rate for all of the United States army
posts has been materially reduced, the
indications being that it will not be
much more than-one half Of the pre-
ceding year. an improvement due to
the adoption of the same measures
employed by the army surgeons at
Forts Hunt and Washington.

ruled that burden of proof was on the
relator, Thaw, as he was not on trial
under a criminal charge. This ruling
took Thaw's attorneys by surprise and
Mr.. Graham said that he had not an
ticipated such an opinion from the
court. Recess.
There was a report that if Thaw is
released he will be arrested on account
Of making threats against New York
woman. District Attorney Jerome de-
clined to discuss the report.
Lane, a Poughkeepsie physician of 20
years general practice, who said that
he had seen Thaw four times since
April "A, 1908.
''Thaw told me that he had no en-
nifty toward any one and intended no
harm to any one,'' said the witness. Il
told him that I had seen in the papers
that Mr.. Jerome feared his getting out
and he answered that he had no de-
signs on Mr.. Jerome and he did not be-
lieve that Mr.. Jerome felt any fear of
him. He said that he thought Mr..
Jerome did what he deemed to be his
duty, although he was sometimes err
ratio.
"I found Thaw to be in perfect ply
sical condition. the witness contin-
ued. HE was not irritable. His men,
ory was good. His opinions and judg-
ment as expressed on various general
subjects seemed good. He discussed
one of Mr. Jerome's speeches during
his trial, but without excitement"
Questioned by Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Gra-
ham said that he did not call DR.. Lane
as an expert.
Mr. Jerome moved that all testimony
by the witness save that which re-
counted conversations and conduct be
stricken from the record as incompet-
emit The motion was sustained.

ON THE FLY.
President Ripley VIII Give Testimony
Passing Through Kansas.

President Edward Payson Ripley OF
the Santa Fe railway will pass through
Topeka tonight on No. 6, en- route from
California, where he has been spend
ing the winter, to his office in Chicago.
Between Enporia and Topeka, Mr..
Ripley's private car will be transform
ed into court room, and the Santa
Fe president will give his testimony in
legal form concerning the car shortage
which SO seriously affected the Santa
mony is taken 'en route" so that the
distinguished official will not have to
stop off at Topeka.
Mr.. Ripley's testimony is wanted by
the railway company in a number OF
law suits pending against the Santa
Fe, involving claims for demurrage in
furnishing cars to shippers. Some of
these cases come from Edwards coun-
ty and the plaintiffs against the COM
pany are represented by State Senator
Fred Dumont Smith. Other cases were
brought by E. D. McKeever Of Shaw
nee county, and Mr.. Smith and Mr..
McKeever, accompanied by Judge w.
r. Smith, general solicitor for the
Santa Fe, went to Emporia today to
meet the Ripley train.
Judge W. R. Smith will take Mr..
Ripley's testimony in chief and Sena-
tor Smith and Mr.. McKeever will have
a chance to cross-examine the big man
Of the Santa Fe.
All this is merely incidental to the
fact that Senator Fred Dumont Smith
of Kinsley was in Topeka this morning
waiting for a train to Emporia. Sena-
tor Smith wore his monocle and his
jade jewelry. and talked entertaining
ly of politics, economics, poetry. love
and religion.
"Who are you for for GOVERNOR" was
asked.
"Stubbs," replied Senator Smith.
''And who for United States sena-
tor?'
Long" said Smith. THAT is,'' he
continued, "I think I will eventually
get into the Long camp, but I haven't
fully made UP my mind, I never had
much use for Bristow, and I haven't
much for Long, either. But 1 know
Long better than I do Bristow, and
expect the personal equation will be
strong enough to line me up for Long.
I think Long will carry most Of the
Seventh district. You take it In those
southwestern counties, and Bristow
won't ever have a look in. Just at
present the Bristow stock looks pretty
good in some of the Seventh district,
but there is over two months between
now and the primary. Long has not
commenced his campaign yet. Long
will be able to do lot in that time.
Bristow won't get so very many coun-
ties in the Seventh. I don't think he
can carry Edwards county"
