AN IDEA! TlME-STAMP HENS
Suggestion in Hen Coop, Jersey
Faucier Thinks, Will Work.

WASHINGTON. N J.. July (SpeciaD--A
freak egg found In his hen coop by l. NJ
Davis. of West washington avenue, has
implanted the idea in his mind of perfect
ing q system whereby his hens will be
taught to mark the date and the hour at
which their eggs are laid. He thinks it
can all be worked out on the principle OF
suggestion.
The egg that gave birth TO the idea has
its large end slightly f1attened, and on II
in distinctly traceable lines is a close re-
sembIance to the face OF a clock Two
almost invisible lines radating from its
centre point as would the hands OF a clock
marking the hour of 9. and Davis says he
is sure that is the hour the egg was laid
He thinks the hen must have glanced at
the large clock in the barn just before
laying the egg and transmitted by means
of psychology the impression that the
clock made upon its brain
Davis will have the egg set, and expects
the young chick that is produced will be
taught early to study not only the big
clocn in the barn. but also TO watch the
calendar every day. The calendar, he says.
will be hung in the chicken coop, where the
chick can see it from day to DAY it de-
yelops. Davis declares that his fortune is
made If he can teach the chick and all
its progency to mark the time every
egg they lay.

TO FIGHT THE "OLD GUARD"
Direct Primaries Men Want to

Influential Republican district leaders

file of the Republican organization, and
that the coming convention would show

hands in September when there will be a
selection of delegates TO the state conven-
ton"
Mr.. Woodward who was on the line of
battle in the recent skirmish. said they
would have been able to get fifty-five votes
for a caucus in the Assembly, if it had
been necessary. The killing of the Cobb
bill in the Senate, however, made further
efforts unnecessary.
The fact that they did get some more
names on Friday" said Mr.. Woodward.

the Governor was thinking of calling an
other extra session He said that soon
as the Governor heard that the Senate had
concurred in the resolution for adjourn
ment a O'Clock on Friday he decided not
to press the fight further. At that time
those who were circulating the petition for
an Assembly caucus had thirtythree
names. They got ten the next morning,
not because they would do any good for
the cause, but simply because the men
themselves wanted to show that they were

President Grscom feels that he has
gained much experience in the fight he
made against the "old gtard' bulwarks,

use this experience to good advantage in
the coming fight to eliminate the "Old

RECLAMATION ENGINEER
Secretary Ballinger Appoints
General William L. Marshall.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July 2-Secretary BaIIinser
to-day created the place of consulting en-
sineer TO the Secretary of the Interior in
the Reclamation Service and appointed
Brigadier General William /. Marshall to
the post. General Marshall retired as chief
of engineers of the army last month
1t is known that this is in accord with
the wishes Of the President and in har-
nony with the plan of inspection of ex-
listing projects as directed by the recent act
authorizing the issue of certificates of in
debtedness against the reclamation fund,
not exceeding s20.0oo,op0, to complete exist
ing projects shown to be feasible
General Marshalls appointment, how
ever, does not indicate any change in the
personnel of the field force of the Reclama-
ton Service. inasmuch as he will have no
supervision or control over the operations
of the Reclamation Service or the design
ing of construction works. He will act in
an advisory capacity TO the Secretary of
the Interior in the work of completing
reclamation projects under the provisions
OF the act of June %, 1910. It is understood
that the designation of the officers of the
engineer corps of the army who are TO act
in an advisory capacity is under considera-
ton. Secretary Ballinger is DESTROYS of
completing existing projects as rapidly as
possible, and prompt steps will be taken
in the department to this end.
II was said at the Interior Department
that the new officer will not supplant F.
H Newell. director Of the Reclamat ton
Service. whose fate has been the subject
of much speculation ever since the lines
were sharply drawn between the Garfield
and Ballinger administrations of the de-
partment.
General Marshall, who in his new place
will receive $500 a year, was placed on the
retired list Of the army on June IL, after
a distinguished career as an engineer He
was noted for his discovery of Marshall
Pass across the Rocky Mountains and the
gold placers Of Marshall Basin OF the San
Miguel River. in Colorado He took part
in the construction of levees in MISSISSIPPI
Louisiana and Arkansas and supervised
the work on the Hennepin Canal and on

numerous other engineering projects con-

LESLIE BACK IN PITTSBURG
Not Likely To Be Called Before Grand
Jury

Pittsburg July MAX G. Leslie, de-
linuuent county tax collector who is
under indictment in connection with the
councilnnanic bribery cases, returned to
this CITY to-day from New York. where he
had been temporarily living pending ac-
ton by the State Supreme Court on an ap-
plication for a change of venue in his case
The court yesterday refused to grant a
change of venue and to-day Leslie refused
TO comment on the decision. Whether he
will now be called before a grand jury is
problematical. ANY testimony he might
give would be useless, as the cases IN
which he was regarded as an important
witness are outlawed by the statute OF
limitations

taken up by the report of the committee on
exceptional children and on the Economic
Use of Education Plants"
Discussing the value of the work of the
council, DR.. Swain pointed out that that of
the committee on exceptional children re-
suited in the appointment of its chairman
as head of q committee to prepare report
for publication by the United States Bureau
of Education. He directed the attention Of
the council to needed reforms in the public
school system in order to adjust it to the
changing conditions of our civilization.
Declaring that the use of a public school
building only from to 5 o'clock, five days
week. nine months in the year, was II
waste of the peoples money, Superintendent
William II. Maxwell, of New York City,
among other things, urged its continuance
during the summer vacation for students
who failed of promotion in June.
The need of comprehensive and stimu-
lative courses in manual training in the
elementary schools to influence boys of four
teen toward industrial careers was dwelt
on by Charles R Richard, director of
Cooper Union. New York City. discussing
the report of the committee on industries an

WANT THEIR FOES OUSTED
Ask President to Remove Cab
met Members Who Tried to
Read Them Out of Party.

Des Moines. Iowa, July 2.-Pleadng for a
united party. and urging the elimination of
rancor and strife. many Republican county
conventions in Iowa to-day adopted resolu-
tons calling on President Taft to remove
from his Cabinet those who have attempted
to read the insurgents out of the party.
These resolutions, which were adopted by
a large number of the Progressive coun-
ties. contain a hearty Endorsement of Sen
ators DoIliver and Cummins and the other
Iowa Congressman who opposed the Payne
tariff bill.
In these same resolutions President Taft
is Endorsed only in so far as he has made
efforts to carry out Progressive princi-
pies Concerning the removal of Cabinet
members the resolutions say:
We urge the President to remove from
the Cabinet those members who have at
tempted TO read out of the party other
Republicans whose only crime has been to
insist that Congress redeem the pledges
made at the last national convention.
The principles of conservation as laid
down by Theodore Roosevelt and as ex-
pressed by Clifford Pinchot were Endorsed
According to returns received in Des
MONIES tonight from the ninety-nine coun-
ties in Iowa which held conventions to-
day to select delegates to the state con-
vention, the progressives will control that
gathering by majority of 155. The pro-
gressives returned solid delegations from
fifty-eight counties and the regulars from
thirty-six. while FIVE divided their dele
cations.
The tenor of the resolutions referred to
indicates that the same programme will be
followed at the Iowa convention on August
IS as was followed at the Indiana gathering.
President Taft will be indorsed, but Sena-
tors Dolliver and Cummins will receive
special mention
Senator Dolliyer addressed the convention
in Webster County, his home. He declared
that he had nothing personal against Presi-
dent Taft. He referred to the Rubber
Trust, and declared that Senator Aldrich.
the Guggenheims and Senator Penrose were
interested in it, and. therefore in the tariff
bill.

vention is 1888
