House to investigate the steel trust. has
decided to subpoena Andrew Carnegie as

clined last night to say anything about

ready has been sent to New York to
serve Mr.. Carnegie with a subpoena be-
fore he leaves this country on his usual
summer "Trip to Scotland. The House

HAD PEARLS WORTH $4,000
Laborcr's Wife Unconccrnedly PIT /.
Valuable Necklace in Pocket
New York WorldI

N1$eW 1OIk WOTlU)
While Mrs. Henry Vaughan of 4S
Reynolds terrace. Orange, for two days
mourned the loss of Il $4,000 necklace
and the police were busy on the case,
all but five of the smaller pearls of the
string were in the pocket OF Il bingham
apron worn by Mrs. Salvatore Steppan-
clio OF 1871 South efferson street, Or
ange.
S%toppenello. who is a railroad la
borer. picked up the broken string of
pearls near the Orange station of the
l4ackawanna. He took them home to
MS wire. who was not at all impressed
with the find. She dropped them un-
concernedly into the pocket of her
apron. where they reposed until De-
tective John Draboli called.
The presumption is that the string
broke as Mrs. Vaughan got aboard the
1l:45 Il. m., train for New York and
that the necklace lay u%nnoticcd on the
car steps until Jared off after the train
started. 1t is remarkable that ONLY
five and they the smaller of the sew
enty-seVen pearls, should have been
lost. IL they too. fell from the steps
OF the car. they arc now beneath a COW
ering OF snow. The police may make
an effort to find them.
Draboli said he withheld the name
OF his informant art the latter's own
request. The information came
through some one who knew that stop
panello had the pearls and suspected
they were of the missing necklace. He
gave the tip to Draboli's informant and
the latter probably will receive Il re-
ward Of $1,000 offered by Mrs.
Vaughan.

SHADY BENDS SHADY
REPUTATION.

The reports from Shady Bend,
Kansas. are hat the prominent citi-
zens who INDUCED in the tarring of !;
woman school teacher, will pay well
for their fun. 1t is said the victim
of the outrage will accept $4,000 i'll
settlement of her claims for damages
against the parties who either plead
ed guilty or were found guilty of the
crime. The amount is not enough
for the outrage. hui ever at that, it
makes the tar party a rather eXpen-
sive affair.
The interesting thing about the re-
suits of the party is that there is a
public demand on the part Of the peo-
pie that those who participated in the
outrage should leave the town. An
effort will be made to change the
name in order to blot out. if possible.
the stigma that has become attached
to it.
Before the trial of the accused
began. an appeal was sent out
to the press of the ountry asking
that nothing be published concerning
the trial. so that the town would not
be disgraced. But the press refused
to be silenced. and the details OF the
crime as they developed in court
were "headlined" in every paper car
fyine news service from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Shady BEND held
front page. top of column position for
days. and the reputation made for it
in those reports was not flattering.
The man who lured Miss Chamber
lain to the spot where the tarrins
took place, by inviting her to accom-
pany him to a dance. an invitation
which she accepted from him as a
gentleman, has been held up to uni
versal odiuln. 1t is doubtful If he
could go into any strange city and
under his real identity find a woman
who would accept him as an escort.
He has been characterized as a con-
temptible scoundrel and a cowardly
ave No wonder the good people
there demand that he find another
location and that they seek to blot
nut the disgrace he brought upon the
town by changing its name.

Result of Five Sea.
sons on the Foster
Demonstration Farm
(By Supt. W. r. Porter.)


The Foster county demonstration
farm was located in the spring OF
1907. consequently five crops have
now been harvested from that farm,
Three of these years have been decfd-
eddy ~unfavorable to crop production
In 1907 a severe hail storm cut down
the crops on July 4.
The season of 1910 was exceptional
ly dry and hot winds did much dam
age. In the summer Of 1908 the same
was true to a lesser extent and the
past season was not above the aver.
age in favoring the development of
field crops.
In all there have been twelve fields
of macaroni wheat grown on this farm
during the past five years and the av-
erage yield has been 1895 bushels per
acre. the lowest. yield being 6.25 per
acre in 1910 and the highest 1887 in
1909. Under the circumstances an av-
erage yield of practically sixteen BUSH
els of wheat per acre for the past five
years is decidedly satisfactory.
Five plots of pats and peas for
hay have been grown on this farm.
one ZACH season, the average yield
has been 1904 pounds of air dry hay
per acre. the lowest yield of this hay
the highest was 1925 pounds per acre
n past season. An average yield of
one and one-fourth IONS Of the bcs:
grade of hay per acre is the record of
this farm for the past five years.
Corn has been grown in drill rows
on ten fields during this period. the
corn would have been check-rowcd
had the field not been very narrow
(eight rods) and the results would
doubtless have been much better, If it
had been check-rowed. The corn on
this farm has been grown for fodder.
the average yield being 4706 pounds
of air dry fodder per acre on the av-
erage.
Flax was tried three times but has
always been a oOr % as the land on
this particular farm was badly infest-
ed with flax wilt before being selected
for q demonstration farm.
There is 81 six year rotation on this
farm. six fields of Jour acres each be-
ing used. In this three marketable
grain crops are grown each year and
three feed crops. W being corn and
II oats and peas for hay. In 1911

were produced the past season, the
yield was 1900 pounds of hay the first
cutting and 1000 pounds at the sec
ond cutting or nearly two tons of cN-
cellent hay per acre. The soil on this
farm needed incubation before alfal-
IA would do its best.
a couple of acres was planted with
medium red clover in the spring or
1909 without a nurse crop. The Glow
er did fairly we'll that season. In 1910
It did no produce anything that year.
The past season the clover ON this field
produced 500 pounds of hay or the
two acres or approximately one and
o~nc-fourth tons per acre. which is not
a bad yield when the dryness of the
season is considered.
The rainfall at Darlington for the
growing season in 1911 was as follows:
April OBS; May 2.95; June 2.4S; July
2.21 and August $50 inches, a total
of 1919 inches of rainfall for the five
months when the crops were grow
ing.

1T was seeded with Arnautka macaroni

Pho No. 4 was in golden dent corn
and was treated in exactly the same
manner as plot No. /. The yield of
golden dent corn was 5000 pounds of

involved. Even if that were the case
those interests would imperatively de.
mand protection. But it is not the
case. The interests of the whole pop.
uiation are directly concerned. The
treaty of 1892 was not made by or fol
a part of this nation, but by and fol
the whole nation. and a violation OF
n provision of it is a grievance and
a wrong to the whole nation. No,
merely the convenience and advantage
81 four per cent arc involved, but the
honor and dignity and rights of the
whole.
F%ittsburg Dispatch: The situation
admits of but one of two solutions
Elther Russia must abandon it's dis
elimination against American citizens
or the treaty thus proved worthless
must he torn up. A treaty observed
ny us alone and r%epudiated at pleasure
by the other party had better be an
nullcd.
New York Evening Post: In behalf
OF the Russian governments attitude
on the passport question, the argu-
mcnt is advanced that no government
can submit to outside dictation in mat
tiers of internal policy. But it is hard
TO see how the problem of passport
regulation falls under the head of in
ternal policy. If Russia refuses to dis.
cuSs Win any other government the
terms under which foreign travellers
shall be admitted into the empire.
What subject is there that dOes fall
properly within the field Of interna-
tionai diplomacy?
Kansas City Star: 1t isn't "Ameri-
can Jews" who arc to be satisfied. 1t
Is American citizens. Russia refuses
to permit the United States to grant ia
all its citizens the fundamental Ameri-
can right of equal protection of the
laws. That has produced a situation
n Il concerns all Americans. whatever
their religious faith. No discrimina-
ton on account of religion is a foun-
dati0n principle of this republic. TO
uphold 1t is an American, not 81 lew
ish. duty.
New York Globe: Russia saws that
when this treaty was ratified her laws
nrhade the entry of foreign Jews into
ltussia and that the treaty in its last
few lines OF the foregoing article
recognized Russia's right thus to ex-
clude. h United States has always
argued against this Interpretation,
claiming that such construction was
directly in conflict with the obvious
purpose and spirit Of The treaty. The
question at issue is essentially the So
luton to be adopted when Il local law
conflicts with the provisions Of a
treaty. 1t is q we'll established rule
OF international law hat a local law
cannot override the obligations Of a
treaty"
