Showing on Stand.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Dec. 2-Joseph
Vending. charged with the murder OF s.
year-old Alma Kellner, went on the stand
for cross-eXaminaton today
Vending appeared haggard and pale
and showed plainly the effects OF a sleep
less night His nervousness increased as
the cross-examination progressed, and al
one time it appeared that he would be un-
able even to reply to the questions which
we're fired at him by the states attorneys.
Continually he reached forward and with
shaking hand poured out a glass OF
water from a pitcher near the witness
stand and gulped down the contents.
Vending was urable 70 explain why he
had left Louisville. He admitted that the
position he held at St. Johns church was
better than any he had after he suddenly
departed from this city, and confirmed
his wtfs's statement that their relationship
was a happy one while he was working
here.

but declared he could not account for the
blood stains.
The trunks were found in the same eel

was discovered.

FREE TRADE WILL
NOT HELP, SAYS WILSON

Philadelphia, Jan. AIT costs more
to get the common necessities Of life In
the United States to-day than IN any
other country in the world declared
James Wilson, secretary Of agriculture
in an address delivered before the Manu-
facturers' club OF this city tonight.
Some people," he said. tell us that
If we repeal the present tariff law 10
let In foreign products free Of duty, the
present difficulty will cease. do not
believe it. Eggs are IS cents a dozen In
Canadian cities and 60 cents a dozen in
some American cities. The duty is three
cents a dozen. what difference would
it make whether you took of the three
cents or not?"
The secretary said he believed the
American people are suffering at present
not SO much from the high cost OF
living as from the cost Of high living.
His statement was.
1T has been said that the American
is the best fed. best clothed. best edu-
Gated and best house man upon earth.
We shall have to add now that he is
the most extensively fed"
Secretary Wilson pointed out that the
fundamental difficulty was that the PEG.
pie are leaving the farms to such an
extent that there are not enough re-
naming to produce food for the In
creasng population.
The boys and girls OF the farm, ne
asserted. are being lured away to the
cities, to the factories and to the
mines, and to too great an extent the
agricultural resources Of the country
are being neglected. lie said he was
con WINGED that the combinations of
were responsible in great measure for
the keeping up OF prices and that that
same influence would be sufficient to
control the prices Of products brought
from other countries. even though the
tariff were removed.
Secretary Wilson said the record made
by the manufacturers OF the United
States is good one but the education
OF the farmer has been overlooked. Manu-
featuring industries have BUILT up cities.
towns and villages. but the growth OF
knowledge OF the soil. the plant and the
animal has not been fostered. The young
farmer has been educated away from the
farm and from the production Of docs
for the people. The school. the college
and tho university. which admirably pre-
pare young men and women for their life
work in all other directions, have forgot
ten the farmer"
The secretary closed his plea for the
agricultural education Of the young with
the declaration that the worst farming is
being done east OF the Allegheny noun
tains.
