GRAND JURY INQUIRY ON
Abraham White, Postage Stamp"
Bond Bidder and Former Prssi-
to Furnish More Evidence for Big
Federal Investigation just Begun.

New York. June 1.-THE Federal grand
jury to-day began its consideration Of
the cases of c. c. Wilson and Samuel
S. Bogart, president and vice president
OF the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany. and William ". Tompkins. presi-
dent Of the New York Selling Agency,
who were arrested on Wednesday
charged with uaIng the mails TO pro-
mote a scheme TO defraud by selling the
stock Of the wireless company at many
times its value.
Abraham White. the postage stamp
bond bidder and former president of the
United Wireless Company, was ar the
Federal building under subpoena, but
was not called before the grand jury.
Met POst-offIce Inspector.
White had a long conference with
Post-offlce Inspector Mayer. who has
been working up the case against the
officers OF the two companies he has
Been giving information to the govern
ment officers for four months.
A statement is given out by the CON-
pany which Is a general denial Of most
Of the things charged by Inspector
Mayer. To the charge that Wilson and
others boosted" the price OF United
without reason and sold thousands of
shares Of stock which they had marked
''Nontransferable until February 5, 1911"
in order to keep the game In their own
hands, the statement says:
Cause of stock Advance.
AT intervals the market value Of the
stock was advanced, but this was thor
oughly known and justified in view OF
the Increase Of business. II isn't true, as
to Mr.. Mayer. that while the
inside officers of the company were privi-
legged to sell their stock, all Of the out
side purchasers were required TO accept
stock certificates stamped nontransfera-
bic. The fact is that all purchasers re-
celved stock which was transferable on
the books at any time. and a large
amount of this stock has been transferred
by holders from time TO time"
1t is explained in the statement that the
stock marked nontransferable was that
issued in exchange for American De For
est stock.
The statement concludes: 1.-THE United
Company has more land and boat sta
tons than all the other wireless COM
panies of the world combined, and the
equipment of the United Wireless does
by far the largest percentage Of the
worlds wireless telegraph business"

San Francisco. June 16,-"Tex'
Richard, Jack Gleason, and other
fight promoters are all up in the
air in regard to holding the big
fight in Frisco on the Fourth.
This morning Richard was very
belligerent and declared that if the
attorney general secured an injunc-
ton tomorrow he would fight the
case in the courts, and would also
bring suit Tor heavy damages
against Gov. Gillett.
He was braced up by the advice
of his attorneys, who declared
there was no legal way fof the gov
ernor or the attorney general to
stop the fight.
His lawyers advised him that
the court will not grant an injunc-
ion against the contest, for the
simple reason that all provisions
have been complied with.
"T1x~ RICHARD GLOOMY.
This afternoon, however. Richard had
a change of heart The iron had evident
" entered his soul. and he feels a pre-
montion of defeat. He said, very gloom
lily. that he would abide by the decision
Of the court tomorrow. If an Injunction
against holding the Langford- Kaufman
fight was granted. Them he would make
immediate arrangements to remove the
scene Of the big fight to Nevada.
Salt Lake is out of the question because
Gov. Spry, Of Utah. Is strongly opposed
TO fights, and to-day he reiterated his
previous statement that the fight should
not take place in Utah. The proposition
TO hold the fight just over the border line
ia Nevada, 10 miles from salt Lake, is
also absurd. as that would mean a te-
dious ride Of three or four hours TO the
scene of the battle and return at night,
with a possible congestion of the railroad
line that would prevent half the visitors
from ever reaching the ringside.
The, governors attitude on the fight is
the most important consideration, and
that is uncOmpromising. Gov Ginett said
to-day that he had not changed his opin-
ion since ne issued his letter 10 the at
torney general. and all arguments of pro-
'moters, hotelkeepers, and others had no
weight with him. He declares absolutely
it is a question of principle. and no mon
etary interest should be allowed 10 in
trude.
Refuses to Give Plans.
The governor was told that the fight
promoters were laboring under the i'm
preston that If the courts did not pre-
vent the fight arrests would not be made
until after the pugilistic battle was over.
He was asked II it would not be his
duty, as he CONSTITUTES it under the law.

Editorial Answer.-To advise re-
garding the use of fertilizers, a full
knowledge Of the condition of the
soil Is important. II this bottom
land had grown crops OF cowpeas
last year and the years before, nc
materials containing nitrogen would
be necessary in the fertilizer. Since
nothing is stated regarding this We
snail assume that this land needs
nitrogen and phosphoric acid, as
most of our soils do.
For cotton we advise from 900 TO
400 pounds per acre of fertilizer
containing 500 pounds of cottonseed
meal, and 1900 pounds Of 1s per
cent acid phosphate This may be
put in two weeks before planting tn
crop II desired. In case the fertilizer
is put in at the time OF planting we
suggest 300 to 400 pounds per acre
OF the following mixture: coo
pounds OF cottonseed meal; 125
pounds or nitrate of soda; 1.275
pounds of 16 per cent acid phos-
plate.
The reason for introducing the
nitrate of soda when the fertilizer IS
put in with the seed is apparent. Il
is Immediately soluble in the soil
water and will begin feeding the
plants at once; whereas cottonseed
meal must decay so that IL will dis
solve in the soil water before the
nitrogen Ii contains will be in condi-
ton for use by the crop.
For corn we suggest from 200 10
800 pounds per acre of a mixture
consisting Of equal weights of cot
tonseed meal and 16 per cent acid
If the fertilizer is put In

ten days or two weeks before the
corn is planted; but II the fertilizer
IS distributed and the corn planted
1T the same time. then We suggest
200 TO 800 pounds per acre OF the
following mixture: Cottonseed meal.
500 pounds; nitrate OF soda, 1875
pounds; acid phosphate, 16 per cent.
LOIS pounds.
III the land Is very poor probably
little lighter application should be
made.
We further believe that where the
crops are we'll cultivated and kept
clean, but still show insufficient
srowth of stalk or weed" accom-
panied by lack OF that dark green
color so indicative OF good growth
md sufficient nitrogen, that a side
or top dressing OF from so TO 100
pounds OF nitrate OF soda to the acre
viii usually prove profitable. This
should be applied whenever the con-
iitions described above begin TO ap-
oear. and not after the plants have
practically completed their growth
On bottom land this side dressing
II nitrate Of soda should not be
necessary, but in reality the best In.
iication for its use Is the condition

The best place to buy these ma

Usually through your local fertilizer
iealers. II number OF farmers
unite TO buy in larger quantities
they may still buy from the local
iealers, or II better prices can be
obtained, direct from the fertilizer
companies, which advertise from
line to time In The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette. The cottonseed
meal is usually best purchased OF the
nearest oil mill. and those purchas-
ing should see that the tag attach
ed TO the sack guarantees not less
than els per cent OF nitrogen or
$50 per cent OF ammonia.
