Declares Nearly All Of Prospective
= Jurors IN Browne Case Were
Approached.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Declaring
that nearly all the veniremen had
been approached In connection
with the re-trial OF Lee o'Neii
Browne, Judge Kersten yesterday dis
missed a panel OF ~ who had been
subpenaed for the selection OF jury
TO try Browne, Democratic minority
leader OF the Illinois legislature, for
giving Rep. Charles A. White bride
TO vote for William A. Lorimer for
United States senator.
Judge Kersten pronounced the stu
alton "deplorable.'
The veniremen were Immediately
taken to the Office OF States Attorney
Wayman, where Judge Kersten asked
each man by name IL he had been
called on by anyone In connection
with his possible services as a juror.
Nearly all answer in the Affirmative.
They were instructed TO report In
court today for further investigation.
The situation reached a crisis when
Swan Dahlberg, member OF the panel,
stated that he had been seen" by
some agent, whose real purpose he
did not know. Dahlberg said this
agent told him after questioning him
closely as TO hts belief In the guilt or
innocence Of Browne, that he need
not answer the subjena- Dahlberg
acted on this advice and was in con-
sequence brought before the judge TO
day To explain why he should not be
adjudged In contempt Of court. Then
| he told his story. Judge Kersten
leaned over his desk and said solemn
by:
"The court wants TO know X this
is going to be fair trial or traves-
Nv OF Justice. The situation has reach
ed a point where an investigation Is
necessary. I don't want TO blame
either the state or the defense, but
someone Is doing crooked work, ana
I am loathe to go on with the case.
When q Juror is subpenaed no one
has a right TO talk TO him. AS II Is.
probably every man on this jury has
been approached"
At this point Mr.. O'Donnell made
his accusation against some third
party" Then Mr.. Wayman jumped
TO his feet and said:
.I can prove that the defense has
been Systematically calling on all
yeniremen. Man after man has been
excused from service on this jury and
has been taken to my office, where
they told me they had been approach.
directly through members OF
their various households"
Attorney Eberstein, OF the defense.
told reporters that the defense had
nothing to fear: that he would show
that the agents seeing veniremen
were working for the prosecution.

MINE WORKERS OFFICIAL
MAKES REPLY TO CRITICS
President Lewis Declares Sometn'ns
should BE Done Immediately TO
End Illinois Strike.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. H.
President Tom l.. Lewis defended
himself against his critics In q
speech Tuesday before the min
ers, special Naional convention. He
declared that he never had contendeo
that shot-frers should be paid by the
miners. despite the efforts OF Illinois
miners to create that impression.
THE law requiring the operators
IN nav shot-firers was enacted
through the efforts Of the Illinois
miners" Lewis said. and did not
propose that the miners should pay
for legislation they had obtained.
Lewis said John Mitchell, John H.
Walker and w. ID. Ryan were mem
bers of a committee that agreed IL
linois miners and operators should
divide the wages OF shot-frers, be-
fore such decision by Judge Gray.
Reviewing events In Illinois wnien
led to the joint conference petWeen
the executive council and Illinois
miners and operators, President Lew
is declared something should be done
Immediately to end the Illinois
strike.
II understand the duties OF the
president of this organization to be
not to pay attention to the whims OF
any set of officers or men but to seek
to do the best he can for the success
OF the United Mine Workers."
John T. Dempsey OF District No.
1. anthracite field denied to the con-
vention a statement credited to a
national organizer that 10000 an
thracite miners will not pay their as
sessments because they are John
Mitchell men.
"Our men are not Mitchell, Lewis
OF anybody else's men,"
They are union men" he de-
clared.
Dempsey said his district would
try to meet any assessment imposed.
II is expected that the special COM
mittee win not report until tomor-
row.
Reports from districts will occupy
the convention until then.

Editorial Answer.-Generall we
think 1t best to plant cowpeas and
soy beans separately, but many re-
commend growing the two together
for hay. II sown together they are
usually put In broadcast or with grain
drill. There should be more soy
bean seed used than cowpeas. The
soy beans, having erect stalks, will
then hold up the pea vines. The
Mammoth varieties of soy beans and
the Whippoorwill cowpea are good
varieties to sow together for hay.
II the soy beans are planted alone
1t Is best to plant in drills 80 to SO
inches apart. When planting with
cowpeas care must be taken not to
cover the soy beans too deeply or a
good stand will not be obtained.
About inches Is as deep as they
should be covered. Both cowpeas
and soy beans do best If not planted
until the soil and the weather are
warm, preferably not before the mid
die OF May.

(Answer by Prof. w. F. Massey.)
No soaking in poison will damage
the billbugs, for they winter in the
grass stalks and old corn stalks.
Where the land is infested with them
the best thing is to burn the grass
and old stalks about the ground. The
billbugs are sucking insects and can
not be poisoned.

BEE KEEPING FOR FARMERS.
vl.-Putting on Supers.

In these short articles we can
touch only upon leading principles
and must necessarily leave out much
that would interest and help the
beginner In bee keeping who for full
particulars must have recourse to his
bee keepers guide and good peri
odical on this subject. Subjects of
timely Importance must have the
precedence.
When shall | put on supers?" is a
on just as soon after the honey flow
begins as your colonies are strong
and have packed In the broodcham-
ber all the stores necessary for brood
rearing and subsistence. Hefting the
hive at the rear will give you some
idea. IL the weight of the hive does
not satisfy you, take of the cover.
II you find the combs whitened near
tho tops and we'll filled with brood
and honey, you may feel sure 1t is
time TO put the supers on.
Some bee keepers think it pays
better To put on extracting frames
first even when the ultimate aim is
comb honey in pound sections. The
bees enter the open frames and go
To work more readily than in the
closed sections. After they make a
start In the shallow frames these
may be lifted up and super Of sec
tions placed under them. BY having
the sections we'll equipped with start
ers, or full foundations, the work will
continue rapidly and at taking of in
the fall the extracting frame Is
kclaimed to be so much extra.
Another plan for starting work
rapidly in the super is to substitute
extracting frames for one row OF
sections on each side Of the super.
And, again. some keepers place a
section or two Of last years honey
In the middle of the super This
acts as bait to draw the bees up to
immediate work. Empty comb even

What Causes Watermelon Vines to
Wilt?

Tho wilt In watermelons. like the
wilt In cotton and tomatoes, Is
caused by low fungus which In
tests the soil. The only thing that
has had any effect with cotton and
other plants is selecting seed from
plants that have resisted the wilt
while others died around them.

ease exists. There Is no known

The amount OF fertilizer per row
Will. OF course. depend on the dis
tance the rows are apart. Potato
rows three feet apart would have,
roughly, $500 feet in an acre, and
applying 35 pounds per 100 yards
you would be putting in LIS
pounds per acre. In three-foot
rows. with Is pounds per 100 feet,
you will be applying 735 pounds per
acre. This is estimating an acre 10
