drugging and robbing Y. j. Vowel, a
well-known business man Of Tulsa IN

torney u. NJ. Martindale, attorney for
Carr, did not materiali2e yesterday,
and il is understood that the county
attorneys office is awaiting the re-
turn Of Detective l.. l.. Hall. who
worked up the case. Mr.. Hall left
for Oklahoma City yesterday morning
to deliver Frank Manning, convicted
murderer, to his bondsmen in that
city.
The statement was given out by the
county attorneys office that further
developments might be expected at
any time.

The statement of the chairman of
the grievance committee of the Tulsa
County Bar association, that the griev-
ance committee would immed ately
make an investigation of the charges
made against Martindale.
Martindale says he courts investiga-
tion of any kind, and is confident that
his record is clean.
Martindalc Takes Stand.
"Over County Attorney Malloy's OBJ
jections. Mr.. Martindale took the Wit
ness stand when the case was resumed
yesterday morning, and told the court
Of his transactions with the Coleman
woman. He denied that he had any
thing to do with the giving of s35 to
Sadie johnson, the negro, and made
substantially the same statement that
he made to the press at the conclusion
OF Wednesdays developments.
The two defendants then took the
stand and denied the charges made
against them. Little reference was
made during yesterdays session to the
alleged bribery or collection Of

The argument for both sides, which
lasted about three hours, were some
of the finest examples of oratory ever
heard in Tulsa court.
The climax of the closing harangue

came when County Attorney Malloy
declared that the action Of the Miller
girl In associatlng with such a person
as Sadie johnson al negro roadhouso
was sufficient TO place her on a lower
moral plane than that of the john
SON woman herself. During the severe
arrplgnment of herself the young girl
sat with half defiant smile on her
face

When the county attorney closed
his argument Judge Slack without
hesitation, said:
There is no evidence here to hold

Malloy

was the response.

Ethel Miller laughed outright, and
jumping to her feet, clapped her
hands with glee. she walked over to
where Sheriff Mccullough sat ana eX-

Thus was closed what was prob
ably the most sensational preliminary
hearing ever held in Tulsa county,
and one th3t may result in The arrest
Of prominent attorney and possibly
other persons.
Another Failure Recorded.
For months the county attorneys
and sherfrs offices have been en-

ticular ease r. j. Vowel went to a
roadhouse and was drusged and
was robbed Of $50. He did not want
to prosecute the case, but was finally
persuaded to. The Miller woman was
arrested in Muskogee, where she fled
Immediately following the alleged
robbery. Carr was arrested In Tulsa.
Both had been held in Jail awaiting
the result of their preliminary trial.
The county offcicls have worked

ers. Many kinds of traps have been
invented, but success with them de-
ponds as much, says an Iowa Exper-
iment Station bulletin, on the skill
of the operator as on the merits of
the trap itself. The station suggests
poisoning as the best remedy and
recommends the following formula,
which has been tried out in Kansas:
One ounce strychnia sulphate
(powderedl.
One and one-half ounce alcohol.
One pint syrup.
One ounce of green coffee berries
is mixed with the whites of two eggs
and allowed to stand at least four
teen hours. The strychnia is dis
solved in half pint Of boiling
water. Add q little warm water to
the mixture Of coffee and eggs. TLen
strain this mixture through a coarse
sieve into the mixing vessel and add
it to the ether mixture. Stir all
thoroughly. Put the berries in the
holes, where the gophers will get
them.

WINTER STORAGE.

By G. r. Bliss, Iowa State College.
Successful storage of vegetables
through the winter means an appe-
thing and varied bill of fare for the
home table and smaller grocery
bill. It is worth while, then, to take
care in putting vegetables away for
winters use. These suggestions
which the writer prepared for the
Iowa Agriculturist may be of value:
Most of the root crops, especially
turnips, beets, carrots, parsnips, and
satisfy, wither badly in the cellar.
This can be prevented by packing
them in dirt or sand. Sweet pota-
Toes and celery especially should be
kept in this way. Mushmelons and
watermelons will keep for some time
if picked iust before ripe and stored
in cool, dry, dark cellar. Water
melons IAN be eaten at Christmas
in this way. Squashes and pumpkins
should be i'll good condition the fol-
lowing spring. The writer ate squash
in July which was put in the cellar
in November.
Cabbage may be kept in the cellar,
but will be fresh and crisp if buried
in damp earth. 1t is still better to
Zig trench outside and place the
cabbage head downward i'll it, then
over with dirt and straw. Cauli-
(. over should be packed in earth in
cool cellar. Beets and carrots may
be treated in the same way.
The tops should be cut off the tur-
nip and they may he piled outside.
The piles should be covered with
straw until cold weather and then a
layer of earth six to ten inches thick
may be put on. Another layer of
straw and dirt will make them safer.
Turnips will wither badly in cellar
unless buried in dirt.
Winter radishes, parsnips and sal
sify may be stored in earth in the
cellar for winter use. For early
spring use the latter two vegetables
should not be dug until the ground
!haws. They will stand freezing.
Many vegetables will stand certain
amount Of freezing, but the contin-
nal freezing and thawing will usual
" destroy them all if happening too

A SURVEY OF IOWA SOILS.

The soils section of the Iowa Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has start
ed an extended study of the plant
food supply in the principal soil
types of the state to secure absolute
facts about the fertility of Iowa's
great farming areas.
During the next six weeks trained
men will take several hundred sam
pies of soil from practically every
section of Iowa. Each sample will
be taken to depth of forty inches
and will be labelled and shipped to
the soils laboratories Of Iowa State
College at Ames. There it will be
carefully analysed to determine just
how mucn nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium, calcium and organic mat
ter is present-in other words, just
how rich or poor it is. When the
work is completed, the results will
be used by the experiment station to
show Iowa farmers how to increase
the productivity of their soils and
maintain their fertility.
This plant food survey will be fol-
lowed Immediately by an extended
series of field experiments in all
parts of the state to determine prac-
tically how much manure and fertil-
izers are needed by different soils to
put them in best possible condition.
This important work of the ex-
pertinent station has been delayed
because Of lack Of funds and there is
now not enough money available to
cover Iowa thoroughly. Iowa appro-
pirates only one-thirty-fifth as much
money for this sort Of experimental
ton as Illinois, for instance. Every
day Iowa farmers ask the station for
information about their soils which
cannot be secured because the sta
ton is unable to make the soil sur
vey necessary.
