to the telephone and he was called
so frequently that this means Of COM
munication was finally stopped by
him.. She then sent her chauffeur,
Lundy Wilson, with notes, according
to Phillips, or had the chauffeur call
up Phillips to make arrangements for
their automobile rides. He told of
meeting the accused at Martins Fer
~ and other Ohio points. Beer, wine
and sandwiches, he said, were always
taken on these rides.
Phillips, admitted further under the
rain Of questions from the prosecutor
that upon arriving at their destina-
ton, point near smithfield, Ohio,
the refreshments ,wnuld be disposed
of, the chauffeur dismissed and that
he and Mrs. Schenk would remain in
the car. When they desired to return
to the city, Wilson would be sum-
moned by q certain signal on the
automobile horn. The witness exhib-
tied much nervousness on the stand
and hesitated in his replies; Mrs.
Schenk was agitated more than at
any time during the trial, keeping her
head lowered and fumbling with pa
pers on the table before her. The
defense refused to cross-examine the
witness, and after the grilling at the
hands Of Mr.. Randlan, he almost fed
from the court room.
Throughout the direct examination
the attorneys Of the defense fought
bitterly against allowing the witness
to answer questions of the states at
torney, but were overruled on every
objection. Judge Jordan said that the
full facts should be presented to the
jury. Just before leaving the stand,
the witness admitted that Immediate
ly after Mrs. Schenks arrest he had
called up Prosecuting Attorney Hand
Ian and offered to make clean
breast of the affair.

HYPOTHETICAL
QUESTION IN
SCHENK CASE
Covers All the Facts Proven
Showing Attempt to Poison
Husband
W0MANS RELATION WITH
PIANO SALESMAN SHOWN
Had Been Taking Automobile Drives
With Him ut Her Solicitation For
More Than Year and She Talked
About Methods of Securing Divorce.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 14.-As
early as o'clock this morning
crowds began to gather for admission
to the Schenk trial. The effort of
Prosecutor Handlan to prove that
Mrs. Schenk attempted to poison her
husband last fall was developed at
the morning session in an hypothical
question covering all the facts as
proven. The question was begun yes
terday while DR.. ]. T. Thornton, who
was called to attend Schenk, was on
the stand. 1t was intimated that
Daniel Phillips, local piano salesman,
might be recalled today for a further
questioning as to his relations with
Mrs. Schenk. Yesterday he testified
that he and Mrs. Schenk had taken
night rides in her limousine car for
q year or more.
Before court opened Juror Lasch
had been informed that a little
stranger had arrived at his home dur
ing the night and he asked permission
Of the court to visit it, but the court
would not permit it.
Ever since the arrest of Mrs.
Schenk last November, there have
been. intimations and actual state
ments from the prosecuting attorney
that "a we'll known young man Of
Wheeling would be called by the
state to show probable motive for
the alleged poisoning, and when Dam
lei Phillips was called it created more
than the usual murmur about the
court room.
Phillips. who Is a member of a
prominent Wheeling family, is a piano
salesman. His name has been guard
ed from publicity from the first.
He told Of long. automobile rides
with the accused, at her invitation,
for q period extending over eighteen
months. previous to her arrest. Dur
ing the last year, he said, Mrs.
Schenk had talked to him about plans
to secure divorce and later talked
almost constantly of the strong
probabilities of her husbands death.
Phillips admitted that Mrs. schenk
on various occasions had given him
many costly presents, among them a
diamond pin, and smoking jacket,
but denied knowledge of the purchase
for him OF a $500 fur overcoat. which,
It has been alleged, he was to have
received the day she was arrested
and lodged in jail.
The state attempted several times,
through queries, to elicit an admis-
sion that undue intimacy existed be-
tween the witness and the defendant.
but to all questions along this line
Phillips refused to answer, on the
ground that he would incriminate
himself and he was sustained by the
court in his position.
Phillips testified that after he be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Schenk
she visited his place of business SO
often that he was forced to ask her
to stop coming. She then resorted

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE
abolishment Of the Office of hotel in
spector is proposed by Representative
Gardiner of Nelson county in a bill
introduced yesterday afternoon, and
SO firm is he in his belief that the law
is unnecessary, that he had added an
emergency clause which would make
1t effective Immediately upon passage
and approval. Another bill introduced
yesterday, particularly interesting to
Grand Forks county, was the one by
Representative Edwards of Pembina
county, covering the question of the
collection Of taxes. 1t provides that
the penalty and interest collected by
the county by special assessments
to the city instead of being retained
by the county, as has been the custom
In Grand Forks.
Representative Davis of Larimore
introduced a bill providing for the es-
tablishment Of a system of agricul-
tural, manual training and domestic
science high schools, ten of them to
be established in the next two years.
The bill is intended to meet the pro-
visions of the Dolliver bill in con-
gress which, IL it becomes a law,
grants to the state an amount double
that given by the state in support of
such institutions.
Another anti-pass bill was intro
duced in the house yesterday, s. j. A.

In the senate a number of import

GOOD QUALITIES or
RED POLLED CATTLE

AS early as the year ITS In the
counties Of Norfolk and Suffolk, Eng
land, there were whole diaries of Red
Polled cattle. The breed was then uni.
versally polled-that is, without horns
and at about that time a number Of
men farming in those counties whose
farms were near together cO-operated
to improve their Red Polls by careful
selection, writes p. G. Henderson in
the Breeders Gazette.
The year 1916 may be taken as The
date from which the Norfolk and Suf-
folk Red Polls merged into each other,
and it was at this time that the East
Norfolk Agricultural association estab-
lished classes for Norfolk POlled cat
tie.
The first importation of these red
and hOrnless milk and meat producers
was made to the United States in 1879,
consisting Of one bull and three cows.
The date of their introduction into the
United States in any considerable
numbers, however, can be placed at
about twenty-five years ago. At that
time these docile hornless and uni
fOrmly red cattle were making their
first appearance before the American
public.
The introduction into the field of ami
NAL husbandry in America Of breed
of cattle purporting to be profitable
milk producers and also good on the
block was naturally resented by tie
advocates of special purpose cattle Vi
both beef and milk type. Evidently,
then, if the Red Polls have won thfr
way to any marked degree of pubic
favor they must have done 1t in tie
face of the most severe CRITICS p
While the breeders of strictly beef b
dairy cattle freely concede place
the other, they do not concede a ~
die ground and have persistently col !

Corn As a Horse Feed.

Is but Ill adapted to livery or trotting
