A New Breed of Corn,

Last year small lot of shelled corn
of kind new to this country was
sent to the department of agriculture
from Shanghai. says Scientific Amcri-
can. 1t proved to have qualities that
may make it valuable in breeding IL
corn adapted to the hot and dry con-
ditions of the southwest. The plants
raised in the test averaged less than
six feet in height. with an average of
twelve green leaves at the time of
tasseling. The ears averaged five and
one-half inches in length and four
and one-third inches in greatest cir-a
conference, with sixteen to eighteen
rows of small grains. On the upper
part of the plant the leaves are all
on one side of the stalk instead of be-
ing arranged in two rows on opposite
sides Besides this, the upper leaves
stand erect instead Of dropping. and
the tips of the leaves are therefore
above the top Of the tassel. The silks
of the ear are produced at the point
where the leaf blade is joined to the
leaf sheath, and they appear before
there is any sign of an ear, except a.
slight swelling.

High Prices, Says Manufacturer.
The newspapers comic Sunday sup
plements that picture hayseeds and
birds nests in farmers boards and
make fun Of the horny handed agricul-
turist are responsible for the high
prices of foodstuffs.
So John A. Stewart, New York
manufacturer and founder Of the State
Agricultural school, Morrisville, N. j..
testified the other day before the legis-
lative committee investigating food
prices at Columbus, o. Mr.. Stewart
said the comic supplements ridicule
the farmer and his work and so drive
the farmers sons to the cities. So few
men are left to raise crops that many
farms are being abandoned. Only the
older people remain on the farms, said
Mr.. Stewart, and little food in excess
of what is needed there is being pro-
duced. So it is now comparatively
easy to corner the market Oh many
food commodities. He declared the sit
uation Is alarming and should be
changed by making farm life more at
tractlve.

Panama, via New Orleans.-"Did
Joseph Daniel Mann, of New Or
leans. die from neglect or from cruel
treatment while he was confined in
Santo Tomas Hospital in Panama."
This Is the question that the
American minister in Panama, the
Hon. r. s. Reynolds Hit, has set
about to answer, and with the assis-
lance OF the consul general of the
United States in Panama, the Hon.
A.ban G. Snyder, he is collecting
evidence that will set the agitation
over the death of Mann at rest. or
raise it to the dignity of diplomatic
Qeustion.
Shorn of the points that are in con-
troyersy, the circumstances surround
ing the death of Mann seem to be as
follows:
On the afternoon of May 20 Mann
was in the saloon in Panama run by
an American named Cantor. There
he sustained scalp wound, and
Cantor sent him to Santo Tomas
Hospital. Mann had been drinking,
and the hospital officials say he was
intoxicated. They dressed his wound,
however, and told him to sit down a
while and rest This he refused to
do, and started to leave the hospital.
AS he reached the entrance squad
Of police entered the courtyard, and
they seized him for not obeying or
ders and placed him in the section of
the hospital reserved for prisoners.
He resisted, and they bound him to
the bed assigned to him. That night
he died.
Philip Powledge, an American CT
tizen residing in Cristobal, has made
affidavit to story substantially as
follows:
II was in the prisoners section OF
Santos Tomas Hospital on May 29.
Late in the afternoon my attention
to the entrance to the courtyard, and,
looking, / saw crowd of Panaman
policemen and hospital students
around a white man who was on his
knees on the pavement, swearing an
grily at the police who were jostling
and urging him to get up. Blood was
trickling from a wound in the back
of his head. / could not tell what
his condition was, but he acted half

some other cause. / do not know.
while / was looking several OF
the people took hold of the man and
dragged him into the prison section
and threw him on a cot not far from
mine. Through It all the man was
protesting, now begging for the care
of a doctor, now pleading for gentler
treatment and again cursing the peo-
pie who were handling him so rough
ly. He continued to curse the at
tendants after he was on the bed
and soon some of them came with
sheets and straight jacket. They
put the jacket on him and tied him

Hammond, at Gloucester. at which
were present. besides Mr.. Ham
mond, Daniel J. Sully, the New York
cotton, operator. and Scott Dalgleish,
OF Cairo, Egypt, the representative OF
the Hirsch syndicate OF London.
Briefly the idea Is to establish
warehouses in all parts of the cot
ton producing districts Of this coun-
try as well as In the manufacturing
centers for storing the cotton crop SO
that, instead of selling 1t from hand
to mouth as has been the practice
heretofore 1t will be marketed

for its object the establishment of
warehouses for the storing of cotton
looking to the holding of this staple
without financial Inconvenience by
the farmers Until it's sale could be
most advantageously effected, was
received with much interest not un-
ton producers and operators OF the
South. The fact that such a move
ment inaugurated several years ago
by the National Farmers Union is
already we'll under way, with tenta-
tive plans made for the erection Of
several large warehouses of the kind
at leading cotton centers will prob
ably influence very largely Southern
cotton interests in their views con-
corning the Boston organization. Re-
ceiving hearty legislative support in
Southern states the so-called public
warehouse idea advanced by the
Farmers Union and other factors OF
the cotton trade has now reached
point of near realization. 1t is
planned to establish warehouses in
Houston, Memphis New Orleans and
other cities.
At the recent session of the Louis
lana general assembly a resolution
was adopted providing for the SUBJ
mission of a constitutional amend
ment for the Issuance Of bonds to es-
tablish a public warehouse at New
Orleans. 1t is proposed under the
terms of this measure to issue nego-
table receipts to farmers storing
their cotton in this warehouse.

woMEN's CLUB ON DEFENSE.
Claim Their Sex IL Equally Entitled
too Invoke Unwritten Law.

New Orleans. Era Club,
though not condoning the taking of
human life, nor setting itself up as
an advocate of the unwritten law,
nevertheless feels that in the case OF
Mamie Mclaughlin the same justice
should be accorded to her as would
be accorded to man who would
slay the one who had stolen his
wife's honor, or the father or brother
who had avenged a daughters or
sisters dishonor. Resolutions were
passed at meeting of the board of
directors Of the club asking all wo-
mems organizations to lend their aid
In securing the exoneration of Mamie
Mclaughlin for the killing of Hugh
Smith, the man who had first sed-
uced and then deserted her.
There were many pitiable presen-
tations Of the case of Miss Nc
Laughlin and these came from diff
ferent and various sources. It was
said that Smith had seduced her
when she was girl of 16, three
years ago. Up to accomplishing his
purpose he had pursued her con-
stantly. He had bedazzled her with
his show of wealth. his diamonds,
and smooth and honeyed words.
The girl was poor, and lacked the
training that should have strength
ened her in her hour of temptation,
and gradually became infatuated
with the man, who later abandoned
her for others.
1t was shown that after Smith
tired of Mamie Mclaughlin he torn
ented her and endeavored in every
way to arouse her jealous passions
by bringing his new-found loves
where she would be likely to meet
them.
The object of the club in TAX
ing the case not to make hero
inc of the girl, or to condone her
wrongdoing, but to endeayor to OBJ
tain for her justice. The state throws
no safeguards around a young girls
morals, it was shown. 1t will care
for her properly until she Is of the
legal age, which is IS, but it takes
no care for her best asset-the virtue
without which she Is looked upon
as an outcast of society. Had Mamie
Mclaughlin, one of the members
says, gone to the law when she
found herself deceived and betrayed.
she would have found no redress. AT
best she would have been committed
to reformatory, while Smith would
have walked the streets a free man.

San Francisco.-Dragged from be-
meath sink in the wash room of a
lodging house in this city where he
had been hiding for twenty-four
hours, Joseph Vending, accused of
the murder of little Alma Kellner in
Louisville, KY, the man whose
twisting and turnings have baffed the
police for two months was arrested
by Detectives Berk and Ryan of the
local police department. Vending
admitted his identity but protested
his innocence of the crime.
A few hours after the arrest, Capt.
of Detectives j. P. Carney of Louis
vile, arrived to learn that his IL 900
mile search for Vending had been
crowned with success. 1t was the
final telegraphic tip from the Ken
lucky detective which led to the cap
ture
In his relentless pursuit of Wend-
ting, Carney many times lost the
trail, but the secret of the where
abouts of his quarry always lay with
Mrs. Cora Muena a milliner of Hume,
Mo. 1t was from Hume that Carney
flashed the information that caused
the arrest.
Mrs. Muena met Vending at the
home of her aunt in Houston. Tex,
and before she returned to Hume.
she was engaged to the dashing
young Frenchman, who dazzled the
aunt with tales of his wealth in
France, which would come to him
with the death of his aged father.
Before Mrs. Muena left Houston
she grew to fear Vending, and af-
ter her return to Hume she broke
the engagement.

that Vending was working for
grocer in Houston the. detective be-

every county seat in Texas. At
Houston he found that Vending had
fled to San Antonio, where he had
obtained a position on a ranch TWEEN
ty-two miles from town. A trip to
the ranch proved abortive, as he had
fed leaving some of his effects be-
hind. Here Carney lost the trail.
Returning to Houston he sent a
decoy letter ostensibly written by

the address of Renry Jacquemin, the
