A WINNING COMBINATION.

A friend. a banker living In sec
ton where alfalfa and corn do well
and silos have been built the past
season for the first time states that
some farmers Of his section have some
doubts whether the silo IL advisable
In case Of the man who does not care
to take up dairying. but does want to
raise beef cattle The writer would
suggest that any doubts these farmers
may have along this line be put aside.
for II the extensive feeding expert
ments which have been conducted by
many experiment stations make any
one point clear It Is that the cheapest
as well as the best beef In the world
is produced in those sections where
both corn and alfalfa can be grown
and where the corn crop IL put into
the silo for safe keeping. II Is our
opinion that these fellows are In clover
In very truth AMI the sooner they get
those siios huit The better II will he.

Wall St, New York, Nov. 13.-STOCKS-
Interest in stocks Jagged today with prices
generally lower in London today. With
prices generally lower in London trading
began with a heavy tone, owing to a con-
tinuation of profit taking and lack of out
side damdn- The course Of the market
encouraged bear traders to renew their
operations and they were able to bring
about some recessions.
Prices advanced a bit before noon but
the chief gains were limited to a handful
of stocks such as the coalers and the Hill
group Other stocks improved in a more
sedate fashion and seemed to offer less
resistance to the intermittent profit TAX
ing and bear selling. Lehigh Valley estab-
lished a new high level for the present

HER AFFINITY IN JAIL.
Mrs. Coleman Promises to Be Good
and Is Spared Sentence.

Bert Sutherland's friendship for Mrs.
Anna Coleman, wife of a Rossville farm
er, cost the Topeka man a six months
sentence in the county jail this morning
when he pleaded guilty in Judge Garver's
court. The Coleman woman drew an
equal sentence, but the commitment was
held up on account of sympathy for the
woman's infant child
When Sutherlands wife got a divorce
few weeks ago, the Topeka man promptly
transferred his affections to the wife of
the ROsSville farmer. She brought her
baby to Topeka and lived with Suther-
land in a rOoming house on East Seventh
street Mrs Sutherland heard of her
land and his affinity were arrested on a
state complaint.
It was the plea of the young woman's
uncle and sympathy for an innocent babe
months stay in the county jail Ed
Marker who lives west of Topeka, said
he would give his niece and the badly
good home: and Mrs. Coleman said she
would be good II the court wouldn't send
her to Jail.
Coleman. the womans offended hus-
band. did not appear when the case was
called today The young woman smiled
as she told an assistant county attorney
how her husband became jealous when
she made eyes at other men. Then Cole
man left the farm, took the two older
children and has gone to Della. Kan
Mrs Coleman was of the opinion that he
wouldn't return, but if she had any re
grets she didn't express them IN the
presence of the court.
Then Sutherland was led away to begin
his six months sentence and Mrs. Cole
man and the baby prepared for their long
fhe country But Mrs. Coleman must be
good If she falls from grace. Judge
Carver will enforce the sentence which
has been deferred and she will go to jail

RODGERS IS HURT
Coast to Coast Aviator Meets
With Serious Accident
While Within Sight of the End
of His Journey.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 13--In an
attempted fight from Pasaden to
Long Beach officially to end his Attain
tfc-Pacific journey, Aviator G. p Rodg-
ers met with the worse mishap of his
career, falling with his machine 125
feet into a plowed field, half way be-
tween the two cities and within sight
Of his destination.
Although no bones We're broken,
Rodgers was rendered unconscious.
He was badly shaken up, his face was
scratched and torn, his hands were
burned by his motor and he complains
of a severe pain in his side. His ma
chine was completely wrecked.
Rodgers left Tournament park at
Pasadena, expecting to fly the % miles
to the beach in as many minutes. He
became confused after taking the air
and after circling ainlessly for half an
hour, came down at Covina Junction,
q mile further from Long Beach than
the point from which he started. He
took the air again after getting his
bearings and was following the tracks
of the Pacific Electric railway when
the accident occurred.
This was in an isolated section and
the first learned of the accident by
those interested was when an automo-
bilist who had seen Rodgers fall and

had dragged him out from under the
wings of his wrecked biplane, carried
him into the Office of a physician at
Compton, two miles away.
Rodgers was still unconscious when
Mrs. Rodgers and his mother, Mrs r.
S. Sweitzer, who had been awaiting
his arrival at Long Beach, reached
Compton. Later he partly regafned
his senses, but was still too dazed to
talk Of his accident. He was put
al GARD the special train which his wife
and mother had chartered for the run
I'D from Long Beach and taken to
his hotel at Pasadena, where two ply
sicians were called in
After an examination tonight his
physicians announced that he would
suffer no permanent injury
While the cause of the accident will
not be known until Rodgers RECEIVERS
sufficiently to explain it, it is believed
that a control wire snapped, inverting
the rudder of his machine and head
ing its nose downward at an angle of
more than As degrees Rodgers COM
planned of engine trouble when he
alighted at Covina Junction, but ac-
cording to the autom obilist, who saw
him fall, he was flying smoothly when
the miShap occurred.

And Their Trial by a Jury oil
Their Peers.
SPECIAL PANEL OF $50
And 100 Witnesses Have Been
Summoned in Case.
Pending Suit Is Against Indi-
vfduaI Members of Trust.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-United States
District Attorney J. H. WilkersOn and
his assistants today practically com
pleted plans for the prosecution of in
dividual meat packers under the Sher-
man antitrust act, which will open
here on Monday. November 20. A spe-
ciaI panel of $50 men from which to
select a jury has been summoned ana
subpoenas have been served on several
hundred witnesses. Mr.. Wilkerson said
he expected that the trial would con-
tfnue at least three months.
Ten Chicago packers will be placed
on trial, charged with monopolizing
and restraining Interstate trade in
fresh meats. The penalty which may
be inflicted if they be found guilty is
a fine Of $1,000 or a sentence of one
year in the county Jail. or both The
defendants are:
Louis F. Swift, president of Swift &
company and director of the National
Packing company.
Edward F. Swift. vice president of
Swift & company and director of the
National Packing company.
Charles H Swift, director of Swift &
company.
Edward TfIden, president of the Ma
tional Packing company.
J. ogden Armour, president of Ar
Arthur Meeker, general manager for
Armour & company.
Edward Morris. president of Morris
& company.
Francis A Fowler. director of Swift
& company.
Thomas ]. Corners. superintendent
of Armour & company.
Louis H. Heyman, manager for Nor
ris & company
The first action against the packers
came in 1903. when Judge Peter S
GrCsseup enjoined them from violat-
ing the sherman act. Investigation of
charges against the packers followed,
and on July II, 1905, 16 packers and
four companies were indicted. Judge
Humphrey granted the defendants i'm
munity in 1906.
a new investigation resulted in
March, 1910. in indictments against
the National Packing company and its
subsidiary concerns and a bill in equity
was filed. asking disintegration of the
National Packing company. These in
dict-lents were quashed by Judge
Lands.
A new grand jury empanelled in
July Il, brought in the indictments
against the 10 packers. Since then
there have been a number of Skin
Ipishes in court; but up to date, the
government has won all of them.
All technicalities have been swept
aside, the defendants have pleaded not
guilty and all that remains is the jury
trial.
Most of the governments efforts
will be directed to show the purpose
of the organization of the National
Packing company. The government
charges that through this organization
the packers were able to control the
meat industry.
United states Senator W. s. Kenyon
will he directed to show the purpose
with United States District Attorney
James H. Wilkerson in the prosecution
Pierce Butler, of st. Paul, Barton Cor
neau, of Washington. James Sheehan
and ElWood Goldman, chief assistant
district attorney, will help in the prose
cution.
