SNOW SAVES BERRIES,
State Board of Agriculture's Monthly
Report Gives Summary of Cold
Spells Effect on Crop.

MADISON, Wis, May 4-The month
ly farm report Of the state board of agri-
culture says:
From agricultural point of view the
early part of the present year has been
full of perpleXity and disappointment.
The snowfall of the past winter gave am
pie protection to growing crops, and with
the apparent opening of spring early in
March. grasses and grains at once com
menced growth at least one month in ad-
vance of average seasons.
Favorable conditions continued until the
middle of April, when grasses and grains
had reached ordinary June standards and
tree fruits were ii: eUil bloom. The disas-
trous freeze of April II and 23-when the
thermometer showed the respective records
of 80 degrees and "a degrees above zero
killed nearly all fully matured blossoms Of
apples. cherries and plums, seriously in
iured the chances Of crops of brush fruits
and strawberries, and killed the leaves and
young shoots upon forest trees. In ex-
posed locations spring grains and young
clover were killed back, but were not per
manently injured
The fall of snow about the time of this
freezing weather did much to prevent loss
to strawberries and spring grain crops. We
estimate the loss to apples at 80 per cent.
cherries and plums at 80 per cent, brush
fruits at 65 per cent, and Strawberries at
so per cent Notwithstanding these unfa-
vora Bile conditions. the present report
shows farm crops to be In better than usual

MAY AVERT RATE WAR.
Eastern Commercial Bodies Try to
Avert Freight Trouble Between
Various Railways. IT,

NEW YORK, May 4.-Another effort
to avert the impending freight rate war
due to differences between eastern rail
roads over the import differential to Chi
cago was made today when representa-
tives of commercial bodies of PhiladeI-
phia, Boston and Baltimore met officials
of various railways at a conference in
the offices of the trunk line association
here.
After failure of a similar conference
held Thursday last to arrive at an
agreement, the Pennsylvania railroad an
nounced that, firing of the fruitless eff
forts to bring about an amicable adjust
ment of the controversy, it would On June
II, cut the 69-cent import rate to Chi
cago to 81 cents, 6 cents below the pres
ent Boston rate. At the same time it
was declared the Philadelphia & Read
ing and the Baltimore & Ohio would
join the Pennsylvania railway.
Today's conference was held at the
request of the Boston & Maine railway,
which refused to advance its rate from
81 to 70 cents per 100 pounds to equal
ize the charge in comparison with the
69-cent rate from Philadelphia, which is
300 miles nearer Chicago than Boston.

On April II the store Of John Pietz

chased the store from TurnbulI, wanted
his arrest, charging him with intent to
rob. After an investigation, during

the charges were proved insufficient to

Gossip has since become so offensive
and charges of buying the officers in or
der to secure his release SO numerous
that Mr. Turnbull now demands a trial

LIME SHROUDS CORPSE
TRENCH DIGGERS MAKE CHASTITY
DISCOVERY UNDER HOUSE.
Police Are Without Clues and Body Is
Not Identifed-Murder Is Indi-
Gated by Wound.
kENOSHA. Wis, May 4 i Special. |

hENOSHA. Wis, May 4 i Special
-Shrouded in quicklime and so badly
decomposed as to make identification i'm
possible. the corpse of a man was I'M
earthed by trench diggers Tuesday when
they began excavating under an old
house. There was a large hole in the
top of the skull, made apparently by
knife. A little silver cross hanging
from the neck by a piece of tape is an
article by which the police hope to iden-
Ufy the body.
The body was buried in a hole less
than feet deep. Coroner Andre thinks
1t may have been placed there within
few weeks. Various families have oc-
cupied the old house from time to time.
1t is thought possible that the body
was shipped here from Milwaukee or
Chicago to be disposed of.
More than a score of clues are being
followed by Chief of Police O'Hare and
the police in an effort to untangle the
mystery. 1t seems certain that the muir
der of the man was deliberate and that
cunning schemes were carried out for the
disposal of the body.
1t is thought possible that the dead
man was John Pachkowski, who came
to kenosha from one of the European
countries SIX or seven months ago. He
brought a small fortune with him and
for a time lived in the house where
the body was found. 1t is declared
that man and a woman who had ap-
peared as the friends of this man dis
appeared a short time after he did, and
the police declare that they have found
that these people went to the old coun-
try without even leaving their names be-
hind.
The coroner's jury met this morning
but returned no verdict and the jurors
were excused subject to the call OF the
coroner, who says:
1--WE are without any information in
regard to this crime. more than the
knowledge that the man was murdered
some time last winter This is shown
by the fact that he wore winter under
wear. The Pachkowski disappearance
story furnished a little clue but we have
found it very hard to find anything in
regard to this man or the people whom
he lived with

ing the Withdrawn lands but to do so
slowly in order not to attract public at

Mr.. Ballinger said that while he had
no desire to reflect the previous adj
ministration. which had Withdrawn the
lands unlawfully, he believed, he had
issued no such order and that all the
lands actually had been restored within
the period of three weeks
Another statement in the same letter
was disputed by Mr.. Ballinger. Near
the end of his letter. Mr. Garfield said
the plan of the reclamation service for
the issuance of cooperative certificates
had been approved by the Senate com
mittee on irrigation. Mr. Ballinger read
an affidavit from the secretary of that
committee to the effect that he had
failed to find any such approval III the
records of the committee for the past
seven years.
As the reason for his having with
drawn power sites he had previously re-
stored. Mr.. Ballinger said he feared they
might be taken up pending action by
Congress giving the President the power
to withdraw them. He admitted that
he had no more legal authority for his
action than Mr.. Garfield had had.
Secretary Ballinger read to the com
mittee this afternoon a letter received
from the President last September i'll
which Mr.. Taft said the weakness of
Pinchot lay in his inability to credit
high and honorable motives to those who
differ with him as to his method of do

the policy of the forestry bureau which

MADISON, Wis, May 4-Wisconsin
in July will offer at public sale Ill 900
acres of timber, grazing and agricultural
land in fourteen counties in the northern
part of the state which is expected to

praised at from ST to $50 an acre, but

braska, and other purely agricultural
states.
The largest acreage of these lands lies

county, 10000 acres, and Sawyer coun-
ty, $4,000. Large tracts lie in other coun-
ties near these three.
