Get a Goat" He Advises.

Washington, D. c., July 24.-"Get
goat" is the advice of Health Of
ficer Woodward of Washington to
those who would solve the milk
problem. In the care of infants, Doc
tor Woodward is of the opinion that
many advantages are to be derived
from keeping goat.
"While the milk, in my opinion, is
not superior to cows milk itself, the
principal argument in favor of keep
ing a goat lies in the fact that the
owner is in entire command of the
situation and is not dependent upon
the producer, middleman or vender, "

HOW MRS. MUENA
GAVE CLEW
Hume, Mo-, Woman Tells of
Knowing Vending in Texas.

Hume, Mo-, Aug. In an inter-
view at her home here, Mrs. Clark
A. Muena, who brought about the
capture in San Francisco of Joseph
Wennling, of Louisville, told how and
when she first met him under the
alias of Henry Jacquemin, a cotton
buyer of New Orleans.
81 knew nothing about the murder
until | was told of it by detective,
who was in search of Vending, she
said.
Mrs. Muena said that early in
January, while she and her daughter,
Helen, were at the home of Mrs.
Muena's uncle in Houston, Tex, she
meta Frenchman, who gave his name
as Henry Jacquemin. He was an
intimate friend of the family on ae-
count of his speaking the same Ian
guage. During her stay in Texas
Mrs. Muena says he never proposed
to her directly, but showed her part.
cular favor and asked her uncle to
make the match.
AT this time he said he was on his
way to California, but would remain
in Texas # his plans were carried out.
He left the latter part of January fol-
San Francisco and was not heard Of
for some time later. Mrs. Muens
and her daughter moved to Hume,
where she is a milliner.
When she first met Vending he
talked much Of his parents, who livec
in France, but, according to Mrs.
Muena, he never revealed thing
that connected him with Louisville
and never mentioned any Of his pri
vate affairs to her.
Chief Of Detectives j. P. Carney

he was directed to Hume for infor

Shade For Sheep.

Even the boys on the farm must
have noticed that in midsummer sheep
are very fond Of shade, and as dark
shade as possible. 1t is not the cool
ness of the shade they seek, but the
darkness. Why? To protect them
selves from the fly which lays the
egg which afterwards becomes the
grub in the head. Now, no farmer
cares to feed good grain and hay, at
the prices prevailing this year, to a
lot of measly grubs in the head or
anywhere else.
Therefore, both humanity and the
welfare of the pocketbook suggest
that if there is no natural shade in the
field, the sheep should have artificial
shade, as dark as possible, something
Into which they can retire in the mid
die of the day, when the fly is a bur-
den, and put their noses where the
fly cannot reach them. Where this
cannot be done, daub the sleeps
noStrils with tar, and thus save feed
next winter.
Sheep seldom die from grub in the
head. More of them become weak
and perish from disease because of
lack of grub in the stomach; butone
Of the best ways of preventing suf-
fering of the sheep, and "swinny" of
the farmers pocketbook, is to pro-
vide shade in the sheep pasture. -

live stock is so great that such an ex-
hibit will be very profitable advertis-
ing. The breeders and importers
who are the first in this field will be
the men to nap the profits from such

met by either breeders and importers
within the state of Missouri or those
from other states. Here is an oppor-

cure high class advertising, and
doubly valuable for the smaller

gressional Investigation of Re-
ported Abuse of Authority.

Stories Of alleged prosecutions OF po-

sentative Wilson (dem) of Pennsyl-
vania, before the rules committee OF

ton Of his resolution providing for a

Mexican political refugees who had op-
posed the administration of President

across the border into this country.
Mr.. Wilson related the case of three
prominent Mexicans-Magon, Rivera and
VHlarcal-who were tried in Arizona fed
eral courts and sentenced to eighteen
months Imprisonment for a violation of
the neutrality laws. Another Mexican
jailed on alleged trumped-up charges ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilson's statements. was
an attorney named De Lara, who finally
secured his release through the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
1t Is larged that the Mexican govern
ment maintains system Of espionage on
refugees in the United States and that
they are arrested by American officers
and jailed on pretexts.

Columbia Instructor Explains That

NEW YORK, June S.-Prof Harry
Thurston Peck of Columbia University
broke his silence yesterday in the matter
of the breach Of promise suit brought
against him by Miss Esther Quinn OF
Cambridge, Mass, formerly on the staff
of the Smart Set Magazine.
Prof. Peck, besides being the chief
Latin instructor at Columbia, has figured
as an editor. a prolific essayist and critic;
has written criticisms Of the new wom-

fumes in their relation to pulchritude in
moral character or the reverse.
His first wife divorced him in 1905 and
he remarked in 1909. Miss Esther Quinn,
who sues him for breach of promise of
marriage, alleges that he asked her to
marry him just about the time his first
wife divorced him, and that she suffered
grev1ous shock some months later on
discovering that he had married sweet
heart of his youthful days. Prof. Peck
is now about f1fty-four years old

.P|NCHOT CR|1|C|SES BILL
FINDS JOKER" IN LAND WITH
DRAWAL MEASURE.
Declares Section Two Is in Interest
of the Water Power
Monopoly.

Declaring that section of the admins
tration land withdrawal bill drafted by
the Senate committee on public lands and
now being discussed in the Senate is indie
feasible and in the interest of the water
power monopoly, Clifford Pinchot, presi-
dent of the National Conservation Asso-
citation, has fired broadside against the
bill in its present form in public state
ment.
Section ." he says. provides that if
minerals other than coal, oil. gas or phos-
plate can be found upon any land
Withdrawn for public uses it shall be open
to private appropria ton If passed. the
bill will operate directly for the benefit of
the water-power interests and directly
against the interest of the people
Should be Leased.
THE people still own enormously valu-
able waterpower sites on the public lands
and national forests. These sites should
never be sold, but should be held by the
government and leased to men who will
develop and operate them. The with
drawal bill. in section 1. gives the Presi-
dent the right to protect these sites for
the people by withdrawing them from
disposal, and this is a good provision.
But section provides that if certain
minerals can be found upon them these
sites can be taken away from the people.
Even If false claims are made that min
eral has been found, then the burden of
proof is upon the government. which
must go to the trouble and expense Of
defending the rights which it is the OBJ
ject of the bill to secure
Mr.. Finchot urges. however. in conclu-
sion that proper bill be passed to au-
thorize the President to make withdraw
ais of public lands.
Mr. Pinchot visited the Capitol yester-
day afternoon and had a lively clash
with Senator SmoOt, the chief supporter
OF the present land withdrawal bill. Mr.
Pinchot took the same view that he later
set forth in his statement, and Senator
Smoot disagreed with him.

and there may have been more. But there
was nothing in any Of those letters that
could possibly furnish a foundation foY
the suit that has been brought
Prof. Peck exhibited the pale gray vol
ume Of poetry of his writing entitled
"Greystone and Porphyry." Miss Quinn
declared three poens--"Al for the Pro-
fessor.' Verses of Passion and when
Love Becomes Despair'-were sent to her
by him.
The Columbia scholar declared that the
entire collection Of poems contained IN
the book were published fully a year be-
fore he ever met Miss Quinn. He said,
moreover. that he held the copyright,
and that he would take the matter of the
publication of any Of the poems to law.
"Rudyard Kipling permits newspapers
to publish only five lines of any of his
POEMS" said Prof. Peck.

At first Prof. Peck said that he did not
intend to discuss the matter of Miss

he said. to give the newspapers a little
lesson in journalism.

this: If such charges are made and a

Element is made--if the charges ar, not
true-that would be blackmai, wouldn't

In answer to other questions Prof. Peck
said:
MY friendship with Miss Quinn was
tenuous. / met the young woman several
times, but always our meetings we're most
matter-of-fact in character-meetings on
business.
Were there no dinner parties at the
Cadillac Hotel and other places-no pure

Prof Peck smiled anew and shook his
head firmly in the negative.
You did write her some letterS?''
