Judge Glass stands as the equal of
any lawyer in Kansas. His knowledge
OF taxation matter is conceded by all
who have any knowledge of such mat
ters as being equal to, if not greater,
than any other lawyer in Kansas. His
services have been faithful and pains
taking, but the governor attempts to
humIliate him by a violation of a
verbal promise and a written commits
sion, all of which was without cause
or justification. Is this the governors
idea of decency in politics? Is
this what is known as the Square
Deal he has talked so much about :?
Is this all the respect he has for his
sacred obligation, both verbal and
written? Does the governor think he
can strengthen himself politically by
breaking faith with one of the ablest
cleanest and most respected members
of the bar and of the Democratic par
ty of the state? In private life or in
the commercial world, to be guilty of
such an act of perfidy and deceit
would bar the perpetrator from the
respect and confidence of the public"

for murder held the lively interest OF
the crowd that occupied every avail
able square foot in the old Church of
San Francisco.
When court opened the clerk re-
sumed the reading of the long indict-
ment of the thirty-six prisoners and
this took up the whole forenoon, the
monotony of the recital, however, be-
ing broken by Interruptions from the
prisoners cage or by others in the
room whose interests were in some
manner involved.
When the clerk read the passage re-
ferring to the priest, Giro Vitozzi, the
aged prisoner was visibly affected, and
at the words, although never con-
demned, Vitozzi morally is a crimi-
nal,'' he raised his eyes and MUIR

of the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo
and his wife. Maria. '-the beautiful
Sorrentina," Mariana de Gennaro, who
is charged with having been one of
the actual assassins, rose from his
place in the steel pen greatly agitated-
The reading clerk paused a moment
and the prisoner, placing his hand over
his heart and addressing his wife, who
was among the spectators, said:
Il swear to you 1 am innocent"
With the words he burst into tears.
On another occasion De Angels and
Amodeo protested their innocence and
, demanded redress for having been
falsely involved by the priest vitozzi.
Their arrest was due to a declaration
to the police by the priest and in aid
of Erricone, the alleged brains of the
Camorra-
When Erricone was first arrested.
VitoZzi, who is his godfather, went to
the authorities and with a great show
of secrecy, confided to them that he
knew Erricone to be innocent for the
reason that another, one Ascrittoro,
had confessed to him that he COM
mitted the double crime.
Ascrittoro was found to be a mem
Der of the Camorra and when pressed
he denounced as the authors of the
murders De Angels and Amodeo,
both criminals and then fugitives
from justice. After long search
they were arrested. De Angels seem
ed more upset by the accusation than
Amodeo did as the former already had
been condemned for crimes of blood,
and it so happened that at the tima
of the murder of the Cuoccolos he had
fresh knife cut on the hand and at
his home bloodstained garments were
found These three men were able
to prove that the priest had sworn,

STEEL TRUST FAVORED.
Portland Cement Company Complains
of Discrimination in Freight Rates.

Washington, March 16.-A1leging
that gross discrimination is shown by
railroads in favor of the Universal
Portland Cement company both in the
matter of rate and in reguIa-
tions for shipments, the Alpha Port
land Cement company of Jersey City,
N. J., which operates cement plants in
various places in the country, insti-
tuted today a complaint against the
Baltimore & Ohio and practically all
other carriers in the territory east Of
Chicago and in the northwest.
The complaint AYERS that the UNI
versal Portland Cement company is
controlled by the United States Steel
corporation and through that affilia-
ton obtains freight rates which are
materially lower than those granted to
the Alpha Portland Cement company
1t is asserted that the discrimination
prevents the Alpha company from
competing in certain markets, with
the Universal company. The commits
sion is asked to adjust equitably the
rates and order new rates that will be
materially lower than those existing
and grant the complainant reparation
on shipment made under present con-
ditionS.

Richard Evers Lee for 80 years with
the privilege of renewal. AS rent,
there was to be paid annually six
pounds and Is shillings" and in addi-
ton, 1.-The public taxes which shall be-
come due on said land.'
The lease was renewed about 1895, the
property having passed into the hands
Of J. w. Perry company, and John l..
Roper, who have erected valuable
buildings on the property. Payment of
state taxes was simple matter, but
since the city of Norfolk itself levied a
tax on the property in 1906, which it
asked the occupants of the property
to pay, legal controversy arose which
the supreme court has been called upon
to decide. The occupants of the lot
claim that they are under obligations
to pay only such taxes as the city of
Norfolk itself would be required to pay
and not to pay taxes which "the city
of Norfolk is assessing itself on its
own property and endeavoring to make
the lessees pay"
The city takes the position that the
occupants of the land are virtually the
owners of the property and that no ex-
emption from the city taxes was ever
granted to them.

New York, March 16.-Columbia uni

of a school for municipal adninistra-

it is announced, and she is expected
to provide the necessary financial back

FARMER GETS THIRD.
Milk Sold in Chicago Averages Two
and Five-Eighths Cents Quart.

Chicago, March 16.-The farmer who
produces milk will get on average of
25s cents a quart for the milk sold in
Chicago for cents a quart during the
coming summer. This is shown by the
schedule of prices posted yesterday.
The prices to be patd per hundred
weight are:
April, $1.30.
May $1.20.
June 81.
July S1.30.
August S1.45.
September $145.
That means that the farmer will
get just one-third of the price the Chi
cago consumer pays for his milk" said
Secretary Greer, of the Milk Producers
association. 1T also means that the

abandon the business for the simple
reason that he can't get enough out
of it.
There will be another scarcity of

judged by the development of the ear.
but attention should be given also to
the character Of the plant on which
the ear grew. The desirable plant is
the one that has a strong stalk OF mod
crate height, with plenty of thickness
at the base and abundant supply of
leaves that show resistance to rusts
and blights. Exceptionally tall stalks
are undesirable and should be elm
mated. The ear itself should be as
perfect In development as can be had

care in the selection of seed the strain

run down. The introduction of seed
corn from another state, particularly
one located far north, should be done
with caution. In the first place we
should know whether the variety in

for this state, and, secondly, we should

When we have found what we regard

uon rather than to again introduce

strain will improve it year by year
and make it better adapted to the To-
cality In which it Is grown.
