DISTRICT COURT

The cross-examination of Sheriff
Harris was finished Thursday
afternoon and court adjourned
until Friday morning at 10
o'clock.
When court convened this morn
ing, z. F. Wheeler was called to
identify and explain a drawing of
the room in which the defendants
were arrested and it was admitted
in evidence. He gave the dimen-
sions of the room II feet 5 inches
ny II feet 8 inches.
Jailer McMullen was the next
witness. He told about going to
the room with the sheriff's party
on the night of July 28th. He
detailed what took place in the
room and corroborated Sheriff
Harris on all the main facts. He
saw johnson give the sheriff
money, but did not hear the con-
versation. His attention was
mo silly directed to the roule tie
wheel. His REORGANIZATION did
not shake his direct evidence.
District Attorney Dysart was the
next witness. He told about going
to the room with The sheriff S
party and fixed the time about II
o'clock. He said there was no
way to see into the room except
through the doors and Skylight.
There were no windows in the
room. He saw a faro table, but
could not qualify as an expert on
the tablet o the satisfaction Of Mr..
Dorsey. He also saw q roulette
wheel and his knowledge Of that,
gained by experience, was such
that he was permitted to call it by
it's correct name. He busted
himself at first with getting the
names of the persons present. He
was still on the stand when the
noon recess was taken.
At the afternoon ses, ion, the
examination Of Mr.. Dysart was
continued. He was under cross
examination when this report
closed.
As Deputy Sheriff Critchley is
the only one of the States prime
ipal witnesses yet to testify, the
prosecution will probably rest this
afternoon or early tomorrow fore
noon. 1t now looks as IL the jury
would get the case sometime
tomorrow afternoon.

EDISON PROPOSES
CONCRETE CHAIRS

Thomas A. Edison, who recently
startled the world by saying he
would make it possible TO build
concrete house for $1,000, went
further today and declared that
in the near future he would put
on the market concrete furniture.
The inventor already has made a
reinforced concrete cabinet for
one of his inventions and pieces
of furniture made in the new way
are enroute to Chicago and back
to show what they can stand in the
way of resisting handling by
freight men.
At present the weight of the
furniture is about thirty.three and
one-third per cent. greater than
wood, but Edison expects to
reduce the excess to TWENTY-FIVE
per cent.

THE NATIONAL SOIL
FERTILITY LEAGUE
ANO ITS WORK

Modern scientific methods of
farm ing evolved and perfected by
agriculture! colleges and state and
national departments of agricul-
ture are far in advance of the
practice Of the great mass of
farmers.
This is, Of course a situation
that needs to be remedied as
rapidly a possible. The knowledg.
g aimed at the experiment stations
throughout the coun'r, at vast out
lay of time and money must be
brought not merely into occasional
but into general adoption.
Many ways of doing this are
already being employed-the
distribution of pamphlets and
bulletins, the operation of special
trains, and the holding of lectures
and Institutes. All of these have
proved highly valuable, and each
year their use is to be extended
and their scope enlarged.
But no methud is so directly
successful as that of actual
demonstration on the land itself.
In every department of activity
actual practice, supplemented of
course, by other methods of
instruction, is the best way for
knowledge 10 be acquired and
its benefits retained and turned to
account.
Every state now has it's quota
of farm demonstrators. who are
working out the problems of
agriculture right before the eyes
of the farmer but there are still
not enough of these experts. One
is needed at least for every county
in every state of the Union.
To have this need supplied is the
chief purpose of the National Soil
Fertility league-an organization
made up of some of the most
noted public men and progress
makers of the United States such
men as Champ Clark, James j.
Hill, William J. Bryan, President
Taft, B. F. Yoakum end Franklin
McFeagh. Georgia is represented
on the advisory committee by j. s.
B. Thompson of Atlanta.
The league is just now centering
its efforts on having cong ress ap-
propriste fund of 81, 900, 900 to
be distributed among the states
according to the proportion of
farm population. The states are
themselves to appropriate a sum
equal to the amour, received from
the Federal government and the
whole is to be used by the state
colleges Of agriculture to provide
farm demonstrators. 1t is planned
that this fund shall be increased
$500.00 a year until it shall reach
Sd. 100000 and every township
in the United State shall get the
benefit of demonstration work.
In this 40 well as in it's other
plans Of conserving the fertility If
the soil and making it produce t6
the limit of its possibilities the
National Soil Fertility league should
have the active support and en-
enlargement Of the people every

DANA GIVES WARNING.
Tells Jointists They Will Draw Lansing
transportation If Not Careful.

Ten state prisoners were sentenced
today by Judge Dana of the first di-
vision of the district court. Judge
Dana was severe on two of the old
offenders against the prohibitory law
and gave a general warning that if
they were again caught in the drag
net, they would draw free transporta-
ton to the penitentiary at Lansing.
BoruS Fabricand, convicted of for
gerry in the second degree, was given
a sentence in the state reformatory of
from one to ten years. j. Robinson
Miller, formerly telegraph operator at
Elmont, was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for a term of from one to seven
years for larceny from a railway.
Antoine Miller, convicted of assault
with intent to kill George Kaler in a
ter, was given term of from one to
five years in the state penitentiary.
Thornton Scales and Orda Steele, who
pleaded guilty on a charge of stealing
wheat from a Santa Fe freight car,
were sent to the reformatory on indie
terminate sentences of from one to
five years.
There were five sentences of persons
convicted of selling liquor in Shawnee
county. Judge Dana denied paroles
for James Jordan and Robert Camp
bell, old offenders, and each was given
a sentence of so days in the county
Jail and assessed 500 in fines. The
men, as we'll as their associates, were
warned not to return and Judge Dana
specified that the next dose would be
a term in the penitentiary. Then he
hoped the, prisoners would take warn
ing and profit thereby. Felix DodSon,
A. McGintis and Laura Wisdom were
each sentenced to 80 days in Jail and
fined 500.

NAVARRO CROSSES OVER
Mexican General Seeks Safety on the
American Side.

Juarez, May 13-General Navarro, lead
er of the defeated federal forces at Juarez
against whose life threats were made this
morning by angry insurrectos, was per-
sonally escorted to the river shortly be-
fore u o'clock by Provisional President
Madero and forded the river to the Amer
lean side on horse.
Navarro was followed into the river at
a point above Washington Park by a
mounted ranchman as his only escort and
they disappeared from sight on the Amer
lean side. 1t is not known in what part
of Ell Paso the federal leader has taken
refuge.
Threats against the life of Navarro had
been made all morning by angry insur-
rectos, who had gathered in the streets
in hundreds. General Navarro had been
given quarters at the residence of Fran
cisco L. Madero, jr. Word OF the threats
against the life of the captured leader was
quickly communicated to Senior Madero.
The latter quickly called his automobile
and he and Navarro were whirled off to-
ward the river at top speed. At the river
horses were procured, and with the
ranchman as his sole escort, Navarro
plunged into the muddy river, which at
that point is very treacherous and full of
QuickSand.

this afternoon on the Central Park
courts at the corner of Huntoon and

Washburn, Kansas, Normal, Bethany,
Baker and Southwestern entered both
singles and doubles. This is only the

The best tennis of the meet was
the singles match between Bishop or
Washburn, and Hopper of Baker, in
the second round this morning Both
are old hands on the courts and play
much the same sort of game. Hopper
is a left handler. Both were especial
" strong when serving and many
deuce games resulted. The third set
which Bishop won to 6 grew to be
test of nerve, the closing games being
long drawn deuce contests. The last
game threw out Hopper He was con-
sidered the hardest rival for Bishop,
though Nees, with whom Bishop Will
play the finals, is steady man. He
plays style of tennis directly opposite
to Bishop, using easy strokes and plac-
ir~ the ball.

the country.
The ninety acres on the west is a
part of the old original Gage tract.
The grounds this side of the old tract
IS now owned by the city. It was do
mated by the late G. G. Gage.
In the last few years public interest
has been conferred on Gage park. A
zoo, including a herd of seven buffalo,
deer and other animals, has been
started. Lakes are scattered through
out the park and the most beautiful
trees and shrubbery grow in every
part.
With the additional ninety acres
which the city will procure in a few
days 1t will be possible to enlarge the
park system and carry out the original
scheme of making Gage park a NAM
moth 160-acre tract of public interest
and recreation.
