nitrogen in all commercial fertilizers which it analyses. The increased cost os "amm oniates" has led to the attempt u use all kinds of nitrogenous wastes in mixed fertilizers, such as hair, bone and hoof. leather chips, grape pomace, dried garbage and certain wastes of chemical industry. Peat is also used. Some, if not all these things, may act as "condi- tioners" to keep the fertilizer mixtures iu fine condition, but they also add cheap forms of nitro zen whose value to the farmer is quite questionable.
 The actual fertilizer value of these must be determined by the station. Un- til thus determined, most of them are to be looked upon with suspicion at least. It is quite likely that some of them at least can be cheaply converted into qulck-acting fertilizers, others probably cannot.
 This fertilizer report is sent free to all citizens of the state who apply for it to the Connecticut Agricultural station, New Haven.

VOTE PERJURY BILL
DETECTIVE KELLEY, FORMER
STATES ATTORNEY AID HELD
BY GRAND JURY.
TELLS OF NEW BRIBERY FUND
Charles A. White Creates Sensation in
Browne Bribery Trial When He
Names Peoria Man-Defense
Closes Case.

Chicago.-The naming of Edward
Hull of Peoria in connection with an
alleged request telegraphed from
Springfield, for 100000, two days be-
fore the election of Senator William
Lorimer, caused sensation at the
trial of Lee O'Neil Browne Wednes-
day.
Charles A. White, recalled by the
state in rebuttal, made the statement
concerning Hull and the 100000 fund.
White testified that the information
was given him by William Rossell, an
important witness for the defense.
He told of meeting Rossell and of a
conversation they had in which White
asked Rossell where the money came
from that is alleged to have been
used to bride legislators to vote for
Lorimer. 4
"Rossell told me-" testified White.
that while in Springfield he had
heard of a telegram being sent to
Edward Hull of Peoria two days be-
fore the election of Senator Lorimer
requesting Hull to start at once for
Springfield with 100000"
Attorneys for the defense started
from their chairs at these words and
a commotion in court followed.
Patrick ]. Kelley, suspended detec-
tive, former aid who turned against
States Attorney Wayman, was in
dicted on a charge of perjury by the
special grand jury called by the
prosecutor to investigate perjury
charges in the Browne case.
Rumors were rife that before the
case of Browne could go to the jury
half dozen more indictments, involv-
ing persons closely connected with
the trial would be voted. The indict-
ment of Keeley came just as the
Browne defense had closed it's case.
After Browne closed his defense
States Attorney Wayman attacked his
case. Residents of East ST. Louis
were placed on the stand beforelJudge
Kersten to impeach the testimony
given by George Gloss, motorman,
who was one of the most important
witnesses for the defense. The
states witnesses swore they would
not believe Gloss under oath.
A fist fight between States Attor-
ney Wayman and Attorney Erbstein
was narrowly averted in the trial.
The states attorney was called a
trickster by the attorney for the de-
tense. He retorted holly.
In moment Attorneys O'Donnell
and Forrest were on their feet to sup
port their colleague, while the states
attorneys force joined in the hub
bub, the noise of which drowned
Judge Kersten's raps for. silence.
Finally the Judge made himself heard
and threatened to send all the attor-
neys in the case to Jail in contempt
which quelled the disorder
The case will go to the jury Satur-
day or Monday.

BIG CUT in. EXPRESS RATES
illinois Railroad Commission Demands
That Charges Be Reduced and
Made Uniform.

Springfield, Ill.-Sweeping redpc-
tions in express rates within the state
of Illinois were made here Saturday by
the Illinois railroad and warehouse
commission. Existing tariffs were
slashed In two in many instances and
on small packages the reduction is in
excess of so per cent.
The PRONUNCIATION of express tariff
No. 1" by the commission brings the
fight of the state against the express
companies to crisis. The reduction
is made effective October is, and the
companies are preparing for finish
fight. They dispute the authority of
the commission to regulate their bust
ness within the state and assert that
either they will ignore the new tariff
schedule or go into court and get an
injunction restraining the commission
from carrying its order into eff
feet.
In lengthy statement which the
commission hands down with its tariff
schedule the business methods of the
express companies are severely ar
raigned. The existing rates are de-
clared to be unreasonable and ex.
or5itant as well as discriminatory in
character.
Unlike the reductions which have
been made in some states of fiat
rate of 10 or 20 per cent, the Illinois
commission has prepared complete
graduated tariff schedule, based on
the weight of packages and on the
! distance they are carried within the
state.

MULF0RD IS VICTOR
PILOT OF LozlER DRIVES At e..
GIN MOST SPECTACULAR
AUTO RACE.
ONLY FOUR CROSS THE TAPE
Livingstone Is Second, ereiner Third
Winner Averages 62.5 Miles an
Hour, Comes Close to Vanderbilt
Cup Contest Time.

Elgin, Ill.-Ralph Milford, driving a
Lozier car, won the Elgin national
trophy in race of 305. O3 Miles Satur-
day at an average speed of 62.5 miles
an hour before crowd of 100000 peo-
pie. His driving was of the spectacu-
lar kind and when he finished he was
cheered for fully five minutes.
Thirty-six times the blond driver
circuited the rough course of country
roads-a course Of eight miles 2,499
fee. or. roughly, eight and one-half
miles-with but a single stop.
The remarkable feature Of Null
ford's run lies in the fact that he
approached within three-tenths Of a
mile the maximum average in the
classic Vanderbilt cup event of a
year ago. That such run could be
made on country roads, with prac-
tically no preparation and for much
greater distance than that Of the
Vanderbilt cup race, is looked upon
by experts as little short of mar.
velous.
Close behind the victorious Lozier
was "Al" Livingstone, driver of q
National, who broke another record in
that his achievement was that of one
man and one car in two successive
races run at more than mile min
ute, in the first Of which he was vic
tor, and totaling more than 500 miles
Livingstone's record as second a,
the goal was 60.2 miles an hour fol
the entire run of 3O5.03 miles.
The third man, another driver Of q
National. was A. w. Greiner. His av
erage time was 54.4 miles an hour
reduced far below those of the other
two winners because Of numerous
stops for repairs and gasoline.
In addition to the numerous unex
pected obstacles that were met in full
view Of the great throng Of motor
fans. demanding cool handling of cars
and quick work on the part of the
pilots, Livingstone was menaced by 8
danger Of which none save his mech
anician and himself was aware. He
entered the race in a machine which
carried two big cracks in its frame.
Only four machines crossed the tape
before the judges stand the required
number of times. All of the others
except two-either machines or men
met with accidents that threw them
out of the running before the entire
distance had been covered.

A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes

Il had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years Of
stomach trouble. Lately l called on
another who told me he could not cure

ach. Then went to a specialist who

and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. could not raise the

was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
SO stopped coffee and gave Post

TAFT PLEADS FOR HARMONY
In Campaign Letter III Applaud.
Work Of Congress and Tells Plan
Of Fixing Tariff.

New York. President Taft's
keynote letter addressed to Will
liam B. Mckinley of Illinois, chair.
man Of the Republican congressional
committee, and was given out by the
New York headquarters Of the COM
mittee.
In it the president defends the
Payne tariff law, but acknowledges
that there are parts of 1t which may
be amenable to change.
His plan for getting at the inequali.
ties of the law is investigation by the
tariff commission, and then revision
by individual schedules. He thinks
that by this means the statute may
be adjusted properly without causing
uneasiness in the business world.
ut seems to me-" says Mr.. Taft,
that all ns-conservative,
progressive and radical-may well
abide the situation with respect to the
tariff until evidence now being &C.
cumulated shall Justify changes in the
rates."
The letter is straight from the
shoulder defense of his administration
and of the congress that aided him in
the formation of the laws recently
passed. These are termed the most
progressive legislation in history.
Mr.. Taft pleads for harmony in the
Republican party and urges all fac.
tons to drop their differences and get
together for defense against the com
mon enemy. If this is not done, he
says, the only alternative is Demo.
cratic success in the congressional
campaign this fall. and he points to
the difficulties which would be at.
tendant upon an administration handi.
capped by an opposing legislative
branch in its efforts to further redeem
the pledges of its platform.
The president admits there are 9th.
er promises to keep, but at the same
time he asserts that the party has
gone far for, good under his guidance.
He outlines the economies which
have been practised during his admin.
istration and in this connection de.
clares that the present tariff, In con
junction with other economies, has
turned deficit of $5S,OOO.OO0 into a
surplus of s26.00O,0O0 in little over
a years time.
