PLAN TO MAKE A
STUDY OF SOIL
Members of Y. M. G. A. Con-
sidering Organization OF
Back to Farm" Club.
LOOK FOR AN INSTRUCTOR
Idea Is to Hold Weekly Glasses at
Which Experiments In Enrich
ing Ground Will Be Made.

"A Back TO the Farm" club, having
as its purpose the study of scientific
farming is TO be formed, if plans of
certain members OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
materialize. An effort will be made
to secure an instructor who will con-
duct the class weekly. A number are
in favor of trying TO secure one OF the
soil experts with Deere & Co. Instruc-
tors at Augustana have also been spoN
ken Of as possible leaders for the
class. The Y. NJ. c. A. library Of 400
volumes has one section devoted en-
tirely TO congressional records, year
books of the various departments and
bulletins OF the agricultural depart
ment and the latter has had strong
run of late.
USE BOWLING ALLEYS.
This club can be continued through
out the entire winter. and actual soil
experiments can be conducted in the
bowling alleys which are no longer
used. Agricultural clubs have been or
ganized in a great many associations
throughout the country and have met
with unqualified success wherever at
tempted Secretary Smedley this
morning expressed himself as strongly
in favor of organizing such a club, and
if the interest manifested by certain
of the Y. NJ. C. A. men in the subject
thus far can be taken as a criterion.
the study of enriching depleted soil
areas and of proper seeding and plant
ing will be in full blast in the very
near future.

PLANS FOR PARK
RECEIVE SETBACK
Commissioner Bear VIII Not
Allow Games to Be Played
at Reservoir.
UNTIL FENCE is BUILT
As Place Is Vow There Is Too Much
Danger Both to Spectators and
TO Filter.

Unless fences are built around the
athletic field east Of the reservoir park
at once, no games or contests will be
played there, was the statement OF
Commissioner Bear this morning. who
Is in charge OF the field. Mr.. Bear is
not DESTROYS of opposing the PROPOSE
ton now that the city has granted 70
the board of education the right TO use
the tract of land for an athletic park,
but he is safe guarding the city's in
berests, he maintains when he refuses
70 grant the right 10 stage games on
the site without having a fence
around the park and the reservoir
plant
BOYS ABUSE RIGHTS.
Within the last week, the high
school boys have used the park
for football practice. Spectators
have been attracted TO the field
They have walked over the walls
of the filter plant despite the objec-
tons of the city employees. Their re-
plies to some of the men have been
unbecoming. Their actions have been
bothersome Not wishing to thwart
the plans of the boys or their sport,
the city is simply demanding that
there be a consideration of others
rights L. l. Brdsall. superintendent
of filtration. took the matter to Com
missioner Bear this morning and stat
ed that the danger to the filter plant
and 10 the boys, too. is great. When
games are TO be staged. large crowds
will congregate. There IS no fence TO
confine them 10 the portion of the field
assigned to the athletes. There is dan
ger that the banks Of the reservoir
basins will be crowded with specta-
tors. Commissioner Bear upholds Mr.
BirdsaH in his contention. and until
the fences are built insists that the
games be played elsewhere, though
the field may be used for practice with
the understanding that the boys stay
away from the filter plant.
Some trees have been cut down on
the city property. and today. the high
school boys wanted 10 cut down an
other tree and trim still another tree
that they say infringes on the park.
This will not be allowed
DELAY OF MONTH.
The city commission viii ask that
the board OF education try TO find an
other site for the staging of contests
this fall. and that the park be arrang-
cd in the spring. Plans TO dedicate
the park at one Of the games this fail.
will probably be dropped, and the
celebration delayed. It is almost i'm
possible to build a fence around the
park in less than a few weeks. and ar
a contract will still have 10 be award

DEMOCRATS CAUCUS
ON WOOL TARIFF
Fail to Reach Decision and
Action on Bill Was Post
pOned.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-After more
than three hours In caucus. Democratic
senator's tonight got no nearer decision
as TO their party action on the mousse
wool tarifr revision bill, now In The SEN
ate AS a result the caucus VIII be re-
sumed tomorrow night
1t has developed that the senate Demo =
Gratis are practically unanimous In sup
port OF the house measure. The diner :
ence in opinion exists on a question OF
Democratic attitude toward the La Fol-
lette bill in case Il Is offered as sub
stitute after the house wool measure is
defeated.
Probably the most startling develop
nrent OF the day was the discovery In the
carly afternoon that there was pos
sibility OF the passage OF the house wool
bill through the aid OF insureent Repub-
lican votes. This report became cur
rent through expression OF Senator
Poindexter OF Washington, an insurgent
who is friendly TO the house bin.
The fact that at least few insur-
gents may vote for the house bill has
stirred the Democrats to make
general counting Of noses, Ihey nav
only forty Democratic votes, rendering II
necessary to get six more In order tt
affect legislation. They have therefore
telegraphed Senator Hoke Smith OF Geor-
gia urging him to come Immediately tc
Washington to qualify in order TO be II
position to vote Thursday.
Not voice has been raisod in debate
though the house bill has been the un
finished" business since yesterday and tht
vote on wool Is to CONS Thursday wner
the debate ends on that day

HEAVY FINES FOR
MEMBERS OF TRUST
Pleas of Not Guilty Withdrawn and
Defendants Given Large
Penalties.

NEW YORK. July 25.-Forty defend
ants recently indicted In the govern
meut's prosecution OF the alleged wire
trust withdrew their pleas OF not guilty
today and entered pleas of ''nolo con-
tendere." United States District Attor-
ney Wise opposed the acceptance Of such
pleas, but Judge Archbold, who was pre-
siding in the United States circuit court
accepted It
When the pleas had been recorded and
1t came to passing sentence, District At
torney Wise urged that there were nine
distinct violations charged against all of
the defendants and that in his opinion In
stead OF the imposition OF a fine OF $1,000
against each OF the defendants, they
might be fined $1,000 apiece. one for each
violation
Judge Archbold replied that he could
not bring himself TO see IL that way. and
in the cases OF the Rubber Covered Wire
association members he imposed n fine
OF $1,000 for the first violation and 500
for each OF the other violations.
The cases of the other defendants who
had changed their pleas were taken UP
and other fines were imposed of $1,000.
Judge Archbold explained that he had i'm
posed these light sentences on the dis
tinct understanding that all efforts to
control prices and output would be aban-
done6.

SENATE MAY ADOPT
HOUSE WOOL BILL
Branch VIII Refuse La Follette's
Measure.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-As the re-
suit OF a series OF conferences held today
the prediction was freely made In the
senate that the upper house OF congress
on Thursday would adopt the house wool
bill This will put the wool issue square
ly UP to President Taft. Democratic
Leader Underwood today served notice
that the house would not accept the La
Toilette bill
While President Taft In a. recent speech
denounced schedule K. wool and woolens,
OF the Pnyne-Aldrich law as "indefen-
sible," he also indicated that he would
prefer TO have revision OF the schedule
await the report OF the tnriff board prom
ised In December. The president has not
definitely indicated. however. that he
would use the veto power.
The positive statement was made this
afternoon by senators protesting to know
that at least Ave insurgent Republicans
and one regular Republican would take
the house measure II they could not
get the La Fcllette bill, insur!ng a ma
jority for that measure
Senator Poindexter predicted that the
house bill would In the end be accepted
He said he would vote for the La Fol-
lette measure as q substitute, but in case
Of Its failure he would cast his ballot for
the house bill He said Senators Clapp.

BULLS At SAL TA|R
TAKE A DAY OFF
However, the Exhibition as
Given Fairly Well Pleases
Large Crowd.

The Spanish bull fight at Saltair last
evening wss witnessed by a large crowd
but the bulls appeared slightly weary
SeDor Velas pleased the audience by his
graceful work and his agility and he
fairly divided the honors with Governor
William Spry, who was the president OF
the evening and who received some
hearty applause,
Three bulls were turned into the arena
and were duly KILLED" with all ceremony
and with very little difficulty. The feats
of the toreadors in vaulting over the ami
mails from head TO tall received hearty
applause, as did the matador who per
sopated the statue OF Don Tancredo. In
this act the living statue is usually
draped In white. but the matador on this
occasion posed In his ring costume. a
supposedly more difficult feat.
The audience was well satisfied with
matadors and toreadors. but the support
given them by the bulls was not at all
to Its satisfaction.
The pantomlrne which follows the arena
performances was styled The Fisherman
and the Indian" and the star was in
Iroduced as Jack Silver. supposed TO be
an original American. The bull selected
for this part of the entertainment re-
fused duty at first. but after little coax
ing was induced 10 do some tossing.
