SHIPS OFFICERS
 ARE ALL ARRESTED

New York, February 26.-Federal of- dcers swept aboard a transatlantic liner when she made her pier this afternoon and arrested every man in authority rom captain down. All are charged with con spiracy to violate the United States immi- grafton laws.
 The steamship is the Animal of the Hell lenic Transatlantic Steamship company, whose general agent here also was ar rested The government charges that the company has been smuggling in aliens for more than a year, some of them disguised as members of the crew, others hidden about the ship until there was no danger of search.
 Nikolas A. Galanos. the agent, was re- leased under $20, 900 bond, and his confden- tial secretary on $15,O00. Capt. kekas Klouras was released in S10,O00, as were his first officer, chief engineer and LIT. Gerasimos Diakovatos, the ships surgeon. Three others officers were held in Sl0ooo bai, each, and each of the IS members ol inc crew in $50OO each. In all the govern ment required sl950oO bail. Judge Chat field. sitting in the United States circuit court, before whom the indictments were read, set trial for March 1. The penalty for conspiracy is $10,OOO fine and two years imprisonment, either or both, and TOT violating section of the immigration laws s5OOO and two years, either or both.
 A field agent of the immigration bureau at Washington who worked up the case had 76 names on his list but only % of them could be found on the Athinai when he boarded her at Quarantine. No arrests were made until the ship moored in.
 The passengers were taken off without confusion and federal officers then searched the ship. arresting those wanted who could be found.
 The government expects to prove that when aliens were rejected at Ellis island it was possible for many of them by payment of some $40 to $50 to enlist as members of the crew or else to take pass age and when the ship arrived to evade inspection, either by hiding or appearing on the ships muster.
 Women werespassed off, it is charged, as stewardesses.
 The Hellenic Steamship company has been in trouble on similar charges be- fore A. c. Cass, counsel for the com many, said tonight that out of a msun- derstanding of the previous case grows the present prosecution
 we shall show" he said, that this whole case is piece of spite work and an attempt on the part of the district at torney's office to bolster up legislation now pending at Washington There un- doultedly have been assertions from our ships but that is a trouble with which all steamship companies have to contend
 We shall also show that man dis missed from the service of the company, on recommendation of Commissioner Will Hams of the immigration bureau for swindling immigrants, has been employed by the government to furnish much of their evidence in this case.

sufficient to explain the conditions vou see. '
 Al the beginning of last season this man had enough barnyard manure that had accumulated on the place during the past two years to fertiize the entire place. This barnyard and stable manure is the finest fertilizer in the world. Yet this man allowed the manure to waste and continue to accumulate while he went to town and bought something like $50 worth of inferior commercial fertilizer on credit. He did not even buy high grade stuff. The result was that at the end of the year this man did not make as good crop as most of his neighbors and was not only in debt for his supplies, but owed for the fertilizer
 The farmer who is guilty of such meth eds as this, of course violates many of the other good rules of judgment in the management of his farm. He decreases rather than builds up the quality of his land. lie has no regard for the washing of his soil and welcomes wet or dry sea- sons that give him an opportunity to take a rest
 
 move on, find another landlord that was not familiar with his methods and to where he could get new credit.
 High grade commercial fertilizers are beneficial and the wise farmer uses them, but not in preference to his barnyard ma nures. The man who buys commercial goods should know exactly what his soil needs and then he should know just what hd Is buying. One certain grade of fer tilizer may be just exactly what his soil does not demand and it's application may have the opposite effect to that desired. The intelligent farmer knows the an- alysis of the stuff he buys and can figure to certainty what it will do on the par ticular soils he has and under the par tcular products he is growing. "A fertilizer of any kind that does not more than pay for itself is worthless and is money thrown away.
 Tt is well for this country that the far mer of whom I have just told you is rap idly disappearing. He is either learning better of his own volition or he is imi- tating his more progressive neighbor."

New York, July 6.-Handicapped
by the laws limiting the activities of
national banks, especially in prohib-
iticg to them certain classes of in
vestments, the directors of the Ma
tional city bank of New York are go
ing into business for themselves and
have formed a combination which
will more closely approach a money
trust than any previously conceived
This, to it's amazement, Wall street
today discovered is the solution of
the mystery surrounding the recent
organization of tie $10,O00,00O Ma
tional City company here. Finan-
ciers say this action is practically
the money trust arrived at last.
The new company will be absolute
ly and perpetually controlled by
three trustees, who must be officers
of the National City bank. The pres
ent trustees will be James tillman,
president; Frank A. Vanderlip, vice.
president, and Stephen Palmer, direc-
tor Of the bank.
AS the laws prohibit banks operat-
ing in miscellaneous stocks or their
holding stock in another national
bank, the chief field of the new con-
cern will be the financing Of new en-
terprises and the aiding of those al
ready organized.
Fearing no government interfer-

ence, it will furnish the needed funds
for railroad and industrial enter
prises, thus practically dominating
the whole business field.
Under the plans of its projectors it
will be possible for the company to
prevent the building of railroads or
the formation of companies which
are not sure revenue producers and
can, by the weight of its capital and
connections, prevent other capitalists
extending aid which 1t refuses. 1t is
believed the company will be able to
prevent the building of any railroad
or the establishment of competing
concerns which might reduce the
dividends of existing corporations"
In it's explanation of its organiza-
ton, the company says:
This new company is formed for
the purpose, in part, of transacting
for its patrons certain lines of pro-
fitable business not expressly includ-
ed in the corporate powers of ma
tional banks"
