COURT DEGREES IN VAIN.
Attorney General Inveighs Against
Denial of Right to Follow q Trade.

PROVIDENCE r. l., April 1.-The
formation of trade associations and trusts
was the subject discussed by United
States Attorney General George W. Wick
erstam at the annual banquet OF the New
England Manufacturing jewelers. and
Silversmiths' Association tonight. In part
he said:
1T is in vain that courts have decid-
eddy declared the right to labor is right
of property. vested in all. which the leg
islature may not take away. On one pre-
text or another. under the exercise of the
indefinite and indefinable police power.
or through the operations of organizations
of workers, the right of a free man to
pursue any known mode of livelihood for
which his abilities fit him and to which
his fancy may direct him is substantially
thing of the past.
NO lasting prosperity can be estab-
iished or maintained when the trade ami
commerce of a nation is subjected to
rules and restrictions devised merely for
the selfish interests OF those engaged in
carrying them on"

Prize Winners Brought Here.

These competitions have been running
for four years. and last winter the prize
winning boys from twelve states were
given a trip to Washington as a reward
for their work The same sort Of COM
petitive work had been started among the
girls of the south, but DR.. Knapp was not
quite ready to nave the fact announced,
as he wanted to first smooth out any prac-
teal defects that showed themselves IN
working the scheme in the field.
Officials of the department consider the
farm demonstration work and the corn
club work among the most important
things the department has ever under
taken Much OF their success was at
tributed to DR.. Knapp personally because
Of his high agricultural attachments and
keen practical method of work AS one
of his associates in the department said:
He was a man who thoroughly apprecl-
ated science and could talk IT to the
farmer in words Of one syllable
The members of his family surviving

LAS VEGAS. y. NJ. April las a re-
suit of the rigid investigation here today
by Capt. Fred Fornoff and Lieut. John
W. Collier. sensational developments are
expected before morning in the Rogers
kidnapping case. Late this evening il
was stated arrests were likely to occur
before morning. 1t is now believed that
the crime was committed by persons in
or about Las Vegas. and Capt Fornoff
has been running down every possible
clue.
Capt. Fornoff and Lieut. Collier on
arrival here from Santa Fe. took active
charge of the work of unraveIing the
mystery of the disappearance Of the men
who stole from his parents little Waldo
Rogers, and later surrendered the child
on payment OF $4,000 ransom. The Of
ficers and horde of private detectives de-
voted the greater part of their time to
working in and about Las Vegas.
May Be in Hiding.
The significant fact is that each of
the man-hunting parties that left Las
Vegas yesterday has reported by tele-
phone that it has been unable TO pick
up the trail of the kidnapers. and is re-
turning under the belief that the men are
in hiding near LAS Vegas. Possibly they
never left the city, but went at once into
hiding after receiving the ransom.
Working on this assumption, the officers
are making a careful investigation. They
believe they have found the source
through which the kidnapers obta ined the
key 10 Rogers house. Following this,
they believe they will eventually discover
the identity Of the men who did the kid
napinE.
That the gang Of kidnapers was COM
posed OF five men and possibly one won-
an is the belief of the officers. IL is be-
Ieved the child was cared for by a
woman during its absence from home.
1t Ia thought that If one of the members
OF the gang, especially the woman, can
be captured; 1t Will require but little
work on the part of the detectives to
learn the identity of the others.
A. T. Rogers. jr., the father OF the
child today offered a reward Of So
OOO for the capture of the bandits.
Today a report to the effect that
Thomas Breene and Walter Naylor COW
punc,ers and ranchers residing near Min
eral Hill, had been arrested and charged
with completely in the KIDNAPPING gained
circulation. 1t was authoritatively as
serted tonight by officers. however. that
this rlInor had no foundation in fact.
Feeling in Las Vegas against the kid
napers is growing strong, and knots of
men gathered in the streets are express
ing the belief that the men will be lynch
ed il caught alive.

Introduced Scientific Methods.

There were score of details about this
practical farm work, but the gist OF it all
was to use the most up-to-date and scien-
tific methods, and TO make the small
farmer use them himself, so he would
know exactly how they We're applied. The
result was remarkable. The work spread
until ii covered twelve of the southern
states The crops raised on the demon
stration farms were on the average twice
as valuable as the adjoining farms that
had not yet adopted government meth
DDS as they have come to be known.
Farmers who saw their neighbors pros
perine by these methods adopted them
themselves and for the first time in mis-
tory the small farmer really began to reap
the benefit Of the scientific work the gov
eminent was doing for him. One feature
Of the demonstration work was insisted
on by DR.. Knapp, and that was that the
farmer should be made to spend no more
money on his crop under government
meth ods than he had spent before.
Then the doctor began to take hold OF
the boys and organized boys corn Clubs
where each member had a measured acre
of ground and raised a crop OF corn under
the direction OF the field agent. These
competitions were scored as carefully as
an athletic event. and the result was
Judged not only by the size OF the crop
raised, but by the small amount OF money
Spent in raising il.

Had Difficulty Reaching Farmer.

The start of the farm demonstration
work was due to the difficulty the de-
partment had in really getting hold of
the farmer, especially the poorer and
smaller farmer, and making him I'M
derstaRd the work the department was
doing for his benefit. The department
was doing very important laboratory
work, and was printing millions of
pages of matter on its researches but
this did not appeal to the man who was
fighting the boil weevil on a small cot
ton patch. and staggering along with
a perpetual mortgage on his crop in
the ground.
