Wheeling w. Va, Jan. 14.-Testi~

The attempt to induce the nurse

ness testified, was made while the two
were riding in Mrs. Schenk's automo
bile. Mrs. Schenk, declared Miss
IoeckIer, said to her: "John treat me

or nurse in the Schenk case) calls up

Mrs. Schenk promised to give me
the money, but objected to giving me
any written promise. She said that
would be dangerous. She also said
that she would get the stuff and
would bring it up to the hospital Oh
the mex morning.
W agreed on the plan and she
said as soon as John is dead, call me

FERTILIZER RESOURCES
OF UNITED STATES.

At the last session Of congress an
the department Of agriculture for the
purpose Of investigating the fertiliz-
err resources Of this country. At the
same time $4,000 was given to the
geological survey who are drilling at
Fallon, New. The report of Secretary
Wilson has just been transmitted to
congress by the president In special
message.
Both appropriations were the OUT
come of desire on the part of con-
gress at the last session, to become, IL
possible, independent of foreign sourc-
es of supply. The United States pos
sesses the largest phosphate fields in
the world and not only supplies all
that is required for home consumption
but also exports large quantities to for
eign countries. All of the potash,
however, required for our fertilizers
is imported from Germany, the annual
importation being about SIS, 1000, 900.
Germany has shown disposition to
limit the amount sent to this country
and as the use of fertilizers is increas-
ing rapidly, the need for home supply
becomes every year more apparent.
The present report shows that the
department Of agriculture has been
successful in its search and this coun-
try should shortly not only be able to
supply it's own needs of potash salts,
but even possibly export to foreign
markets. A few dif1culties Of an en-
gineering character are still to be ov-
ercome, but they are not of serious
nature. A new industry will be estab-
lished and If by-products are wisely
used many millions per annum should
be added to the wealth Of the country.
The department experts have cover
ed q wide range in their investigation.
Some of the desert basins were exam
ineds brines and the mother liquors
from salt wells we're tested and exper
imenta have been carried on with the
object of extracting potash from sill
cate rocks, and minerals, such as 81
unite. which contains 1t. The work is
still under way and potash in limited
amounts undoubtedly will be derived
from some Of these sources. Up to-
the present none of them give prom

He has attacked every big institution
OF his own state and nation, and
while he has accomplished some good
he has accomplished more harm by
continually keeping things stirred

But this is not the worst OF his sins
The worst OF 1t Is that his successful
career as a disturber will cause mil
lions of other men to follow in his
footsteps and become disturbers. And
many Of these imitators will not be
as honest as LaFollette. The old and
false cry OF Colonel Buddha and his
followers that there is something to

lazy beggars. There is nothing to be
given away. Whatever you get you
must earn.

overdone. The man who demands

dishonest, and that's the long and
short OF it; in addition to the middle

ter and on drying these salts are very
largely exuded on the surface The
dried plants contain from 25 to 35 per
cent Of their weight af potassium
chloride, and the latter an very read
lily be extracted. The KEEPS also con-
tain iodine and many other by pro-
ducts can be obtained from them. 1t
is possible that these by-products will
more than pay the manufacturing ex-
penses leaving the potassium chloride
free from cost. The Japanese have al
ready shown considerable ingenuity in
working up these by-products. Not
only do they use some OF the waste
material for cattle food but the Jap
anese themselves use 1t as staple
article Of diet. Glue. shellac, paper
and other useful products can also be
made.
Some OF the Pacific groves are Ave
miles long and two miles wide, and the
growth in these groves is exceedingly
dense. The two principal species that
would be available are nereocystis
luet keana in the north and nacroc-
ystis in the south Both these plants
reach a length OF 100 feet or more and
grow in strong tideways or where they
are exposed to the full force OF the
open sea. All of the groves are with
in the three mile limit and should be
easily harvested. The heaviest groves
are south Of Point Sur but large ones
extend as far north as Seattle. III
properly harvested and protected these
groves will yield an annual harvest in
definitely; it is even possible that in
the case of macrocystis two such har-
vests may be obtained. On conserva-
tive basis upwards of 100000 tons OF
potassium chloride, worth nearly 40
100000 should be obtained each year.
No estimates can be given at the pres
ent time Of the value OF the by-pro-
ducts.
