Veteran Weston Starts From New
York For San Francisco.
New York, March 15.-From New
York to San Francisco on foot Is the
long tramp planned by Edward Pay
son Weston, the worlds most famous
walker, who began his journey today
at the New York postoffice.
Today is Mr.. Weston's SEVENTEEN
birthday. His age is probably the
most astonishing feature of his ven
ture, since the walk from w York
to the Pacific coast in the time in
which Mr.. Weston promises to do it
is one to tax severely the powers OF
man half his age He expects to
cover the route, more than 1000
miles long, in 100 days, excluding
Sundays. 1t is a matter of principle
with Mr.. Weston never to walk on
Sunday. He devotes the day to rest
and to delivering temperance lee
lures. The expenses Of his trips are
paid from the proceeds of the lee
lures.

Mr.. Weston repeated that walk, but

On his present trip Mr.. Weston
will be accompanied by journalists

Its Cultivation Prof. GOOdG Was UnaoidabV Detained.

The meeting of the Clark County
Farmers Club that was held at the

was one of the most interesting and
instructive that the club has ever

and breeding of hogs but on account
of the State Diarymen's Association
being in session there at that time,
it was impossible for him to come
here.
Mr.. Mae Golf, of Bourbon county,
one of the largest and most success
full growers of alfalfa in the State,
was present, and delivered a most
interesting talk on the cultivation of
alfalfa. In speaking of the soil on
which alfalfa would grow best, Mr..
Golf said that it would grow alright
on land containing plenty of lime
but would not grow on damp and
poorly drained land Mr.. Golf said
alfalfa and corn was the best and
cheapest feeding that could be OBJ
tanned and that in some parts of the
West the leaves were now being used
to make -four Mr.. Golf said that he
had grown as much of five tons to
the acre.
Prof. John L. Bosley spoke of the
experiments that he and Mr.. Thomas
Tucker had been making on corn
seed testing, and also addressed the
meeting on the necessity of having
agricultural instruction in the High
Schools.
Mr.. Lucien Beckner reported as
delegate to the State Institute at
Elizabethtown.
Mr.. A. Renick on request, told of
hisexperiences with alfalfa both in
feeding and growing it.

TWO houses should carry out the pro-
vision of the Chicago platform pledg-
ing the party to tariff law affording
protection to the Industries of the ma
ton equal to the difference between
the cost of production abroad and the
cost of production here" For months
the ways and means committee of the
old house, most of whose members
were reelected, were busy with the
preparation of a bill declared to en-
body that idea.
Speaker Cannon Reelected.
Probably first in interest and i'm
portance among the events of today
in the two houses was the reelection
of Speaker Cannon. The old Republi-
can war horse" has been too strong
for the house insurgents" and his
face wore little smile of triumph as
he assembled the rostrum after the an
nouncement by the clerk of the vote
re-electing him and thanked the men,
bers for the honor. In accordance with
ancient custom the oath of office was
administered to the speaker by the
father of the house" That honor
now belongs to General H. H. Bling
ham, who today began his thirtieth
yearof continuous service in the house.
Speaker Cannon had to share the
honor of the most conspicuous place
in the attention of the crowded gall
leries today with Representative Sc
ropo u Dovpa ohoirn,ar Of fho oo,,,
mittee on ways and means. Mr.. Payne
is the father" of the new tariff bill,
and its unofficial title is "the Payne
bill"
The Committee Hearings.
The committee hearings on the pro-
posed new bill, which is now ready
for the consideration of congress, filed
six weeks and were, according to
Bourke Cochran. one of the Democratic
members of the committee, "the most
extensive and the fairest that were
ever neld for the purpose of revising
the tariff" More than 300 men inter
ested in the revision of the Tariff ap-
peared before the committee. They
embraced importers and exporters,
manufacturers, farmers and others.
Included in their interests were an
exceedingly wide variety Of business
es. Government experts and other
statisticians were also called upon to
furnish information to the committee.
Probably the most interesting witness
was Mr.. Carnegie, who had declared
in magazine article his belief that
the iron and steel industry Of America
no longer needed protection. Judge
