ed OF purse-snatching. and another
clash between the authorities and the
citizens is feared II the man Is caught.
Feeling is still running high against
the negro, and intensity was added TO
this sentiment Sunday afternoon. when

What the League Wants.

Two things which the newly organ-
lied Southwestern Hard Winter Wheat
Millers' league will try to bring about
in the trade are the abandonment of
long time sales and a shortening of
the credit period extended to some
classes of patrons. The committee
named at Kansas City a short time
ago to draft trade rules will report les
recommendations at another meeting
in two weeks. The rules will not APP
ply to credits extended in local terri
tory where a mill operates, but will be
intended to make shipments to east
ern consignees subject to arrival draft
terms or cash on delivery.

B~lueields, Nicaragua - Americans
took a very active part In the battle
between the insurgents and the Madriz

them, at least, was badly wounded.
They were under Capt. Victor Gordon,

arm aud leg. Another scout, G. T.
Bushby, was bruised when q stone
from behind which he was firing was
shattered by a cannon ball. Bushby
was thrown twenty feet, but he came
back into the fight.
The ~fierceness of the battle is indi.
Gated by the fact that two of Mena's
guns we're disabled. Another was twice
~dismounted. but each time replanted,
doing effective execution. Mena's loss
was twelve wounded. Gordon is of the
opinion that the enemy's loss was
heavy, as their assaults were delivered
across open spaces in the face of ar
tillery.
Five additional Americans under
General Zeledon were placed in COM
mand of forty ~Nicaraguans, with whom
they turned the enemy's flank in a
movement which shortly afterwards
terminated in the enemy's complete

SEED CORN CRUSADE
RAILROADS INTERESTED AS
WELL AS THE FARMERS.
URGE CARE IN THE SELECTION
A Matter OF Great Importance to Aeri.
Observation-Disclosures Capital
Newsisms. ..

Railroads have taken up the cru
sadG for better seed corn in Nebraska.
The Northwestern and Union Pacific
have sent bulletins to all agents to
be posted to call the attention of the
farmers to the crusade for better corn
now being waged by the Commercial
club of Omaha and to- the necessity
of testing the seed corn, especially
this year.
Two hundred samples of corn from
all sections of the state are now in
the tester at the Commercial club
and Chief Tester Campbell is eagerly
watching what the result will be, as
this corn zones from all sections of
the state.
The entire state seems to he
aroused to the necessity Of testing
the seed corn, and while many sam
pies are being sent in the crusade Is
also having its effect In other ways
because farmers in many cases are
preparing to test their own corn. SO
many excellent authorities have shown
the corn Is not good for seed that all
seem to have come to the conclusion
that there is a great deal in the
statement. A bad ear of corn planted
will cost the farmer an average OF
twelve bushels per acre when his crop
Is harvested.
Robertson Bros, of Waterloo, seed
growers, who buy from 250,0 600 to 300.

show that so per cent Of all corn

IL will not grow and that of the corn
which was gathered and cribbed since
that time scarcely any will grow.
George COPELAND. regent of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who has a large
corn acreage at Elgin, says that a
great deal of the corn from his sec
ton was so damp that when it was
gathered and cribbed it froze so solid
that crowbars had to be used to pry
1t apart. He says that he has his
doubts about the terminating quail

early and that the orn which Is still

found in the state, is also in a bad

PUEBLO INDIANS
In REBELLION

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, May 13.-An up
rising of serious proportions has broken
out among the Taos Pueblo Indians at
their village 70 miles northwest of here
and tonight troops are being hurried by
special train from Santa Fe to check a
possible massacre of white ranchers. The
Indians have cut all telephone and tele-
graph wires from Taos, but reports re-
ceved here indicate that the depredations
have been confined to an attack on the
wife and children of L. l.. Myers, home
steader, and the cutting OF fences and the
theft of horses and cattle.
Further attacks are expected by the
ranchers, and Judge John r. McFie, con-
Quoting court at Taos, issued an urgent
national guard, to Taos. The guardsmen
declared a massacre was imminent
The governor Immediately ordered 30
men of Companies D and F, New Mexico
rational guard, to Taos The guardsmen
will arrive at Taos tomorrow morning.
General Brooke. In command of the ma
tional guard has also ordered Com
pany H OF Santa Fe to be in readiness
to march at a moments notice.
The uprising of the Pueblos, which for
years has been a peaceful people, is be-
lieved to have been caused by the pun
ishment of Pueblos by the territorial au-
thorities
For years the Pueblos have governed
themselves, electing their own chiefs and
village councillors, who tried and punished
malefactors of the tribe without appeal
to the territorial authorities. Some months
ago an Indian, Isleta Pueblo who had
been imprisoned by the village authorities,
appealed to the territorial court, and the
chief councillors of the village were put
in Jail. Since then the Indians have
been unruly, and ii is believed the present
outbreak is the result of fear by the
Fueblos that they would lose their in
dependence. For several weeks ranchers
near Taos have found their fences cut
and their stock missing, but the discon-
tent of the Indians eliminated yesterday
in the attack on the Myers household.

Returns from the Corporation Tax

Alabama has 3lS5 corporation that have
already paid into the federal treasury
s144,ess All told the new tax is expected
to yield before July just about s26, 900, 900,
and the fiscal year may be completed at
that time without deficit.
A corporation that has net income
OF $4,000 pays annually ! per cent on it's
net income. This tax was adopted in
order to prevent the levying of a general
income tax, and the hope was entertained
by the representatives of special interests
in Congress that the supreme court would
come to their relief, and thus privilege
would in that way escape both an income
tax and a corporation tax. The supreme
court has not as yet acted on the ques-
ton, although several cases involving the
corpora ton tax are before it.
The tax will no doubt be collected this
year, and possibly It will remain on the
statute book until a general income tax
is adopted under the pending amendment.

RUSSIANS EXPEL
JEWS FROM KEY

kiev, Russia, May 13.-The expulsion OF
Jews residing Illegally in Kiev will be re-
sumed tomorrow. In some instances a
delay has been granted to permit a settle
ment of their affairs, but all of those
marked for expulsion must leave the city
before June IA. The order of expulsion
was issued as a result of an agitation
which began in the duma and originally
provided that the expulsion should take
place on April IS last Subsequently the
order was suspended by Premier Stolypin
to permit further examination of Jewish
claims of residence. The order applied to
other cities and towns where Jews are re-
siding without the pale, and local COM
missions were appointed to revise the list
OF those affected by the order with the
exreca ton that a large proportion would
be allowed to remain undisturbed.
The Kev commission has considered
thus far about 1000 cases, of which 500
have been found TO be subject TO expul-
sion. The governor general has reviewed
the conviction of the commission and con-
1rmed the expulsion of TO of those listed.
The Jews remaining in Kiev will be al
lowed to occupy summer villas outside
the city only through special permission
granted in individual cases.

EPISCOPAL MEETING
COMES TO A CLOSE

Mobile, May 13-(Special.) -After a
session of four days the convention of
the Episcopal diocese of Alabama has
adjourned. The conclusion was marked
by spirited contest to depose Rev.
Gardiner C. Tucker as a member of the
board of trustees of the church home
for orphans of this city.
DR.. Tucker settled the matter by
withdrawing from the position. Here
after there will be no clergyman on the
board except Bishop Beckwith, the 9TH
ers to be laymen.
The principal feature aside from this
was the reading of the report of the
committee on the state of the church
OF the diocese. which shows a healthy
condition financially and numerically,
and that a good number of churches
and chapels had been erected during
the year. An effort was made to take
ST. Paul's, at Decatur, out of the do
cese and make ii a mission but the
matter will go over until next year.
