thrashed out thoroughly in connection
with the barley and hop exhibition
which will be held in Chicago Oct.
1922. As in the case of other arOmat-
ic plants. the sources of the aroma are
not we'll understood. Aroma usually
depends upon such minute particles
of substance that even the delicate re-
actions in the chemical laboratory are
frequently inadequate to discover
them. The high prices which are paid,
for instance, for certain wines are
based upon their flavor or aroma, and
discovered by chemical analysis. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that the
substances which contain the flavor
or aroma of hops have never been as
certained with certainty. There is a
theory that they are closely associ-
ated with the soft resins contained in
the lupulin, or the hop -four, which is
found between the bracts of the cone
and which is really the essential part
of the hop plant.
AS for the color Of the hops, various
preferences prevail, some preferring
the varieties which are entirely green,
while others think the yellowish green
is preferable. In this country the vel
lowish kinds are usually preferred,
while in Germany the green ones have
the call.
Inasmuch as the brewing value of
hops depends largely upon the lupulin-
fc acid and the soft resins and the
American hops are unusually rich in
soft resins, American hop growers
need have no fear of entering the prize
competition at Chicago under the rules
which have been adopted for the jury
which is to judge the hops.

REASONS FOR USING
HOPS IN BEVERAGES
Taste and Aroma as Well as Pre-
sentative Quality Are Desired.


Some American growers claim that,
inasmuch as American hops in many
cases are just as rich in the soft resins
as the best European hops, their brew
ing value ought to be equal to that of
the Europeans. They have not, how
ever, been able to convince American
brewers of the accuracy of this view.
They will try to do so at the barley
and hop exhibition in Chicago in Oc-
tober, 1911. The principal trouble,
however, with American hops as they
reach the market is that they are pick
ed carelessly. The only part that is of
value to the consumer is the cone, and
everything in the shape Of stems and
leaves that is mixed with the grains
not only diminishes the amount of
available material, but introduces a
decidedly injurious element, the leaves
and cones being rich in fannie acid,
which imparts stringent and harsh
taste.
In the international barley and hop
exhibition, which will be held in Chi
cago in October 1911, the item of

Six Rowed Barley.-Through several
years experimentation at the Wiscon-
sin agricultural experiment station it
has been found that the six rowed bar
ley Is preferable to other varieties and
more profitable for the average farmer
to grow. The yield far surpasses that
of the other varieties, and the market
demands for the six rowed class far
surpass those Of all other varieties COM
bined. At conservative estimate SO
per cent of all the barley now grown
In Wisconsin is six rowed barley. This
being the type of barley most COM
monty used for mailing in the United
States, 1t Is likely that most of the
samples that will be shown at the bar
ley and hop exhibition in Chicago in
October, 1911, will be Of that type.
The experiments with two rowed
barley through eight years continuous
breeding work clearly prove that In
most regions the farmer cannot get
the returns from this crop that can be
secured with the six rowed variety.
The straw seems to be very frail and
lodges easily. thereby injuring the
quality Of the grain and reducing the
yield.

To Ascertain at What Points Along

WASHINGTON. March 6.-(special Tele-
gram.)-The entire Pacific fleet which has
been maneuvering off the coast of Cali
fornia during the winter, is to proceed to
the Hawaiian islands at once, 1t is an
nounced, TO carry out plans for a demon
stration to ascertain where successful at
tack might be made on the Hawaiian
coast
The ships will cooperate with the army
and the photographic office in the maneuv-
ers 1t is believed the aim of the DEMON
stration will be to experiment with a view
to recommending locations for fortified
lions of the island group.
This is regarded the most strategic point
for fertilization. 1t Is claimed by many, in
planning defense Of the Pacific coast.
Carrying out the plans of the maneuvers,
II is said, four or five cruisers of the Pa
cific fleet will attempt to make landings
in places from which the department has
reports from the photographic officers that
landings might be made by vessels OF
heavy displacement
In addition TO this practical experiment
the war and navy officials will succeed ir
having necessarily at Honolulu, four or

Land Show Brings

Federal Office Does Heavy Business
at Salt Lake City as Result
of Exhibit.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 5.-(Special
Telegram. AS a direct result of the land
show held in Omaha recently and through
literature distributed In Nebraska the local
United States land office reports exceed
ingly heavy business. The report for Feb
ruary as just completed shows the amount
of government land taken in Utah during
the month to have been 80 per cent greater
than the amount taken in any one month
before in the history of the state.
Fully a third of the homesteaders were
from Nebraska and many from Omaha.
The land taken consists principally OF land
designated under the enlarged homestead
act OF February 10, 1903, which grants to
the homesteader 500 acres of semi-arid
land and does not require residence This
means that the Nebraska homesteaders
will hold their Utah lands and reside still
in Nebraska.
The outlook is that the coming spring
months will be the greatest in history in
point of business for the land office.
The Commercial club attributes the land
rush to the successful advertising at
Omaha.

Retiring Secretary of President Goes
Into First National of
New York

WASHINGTON. March 5,-Official an
nouncement was made today that Charles
ID. HHles, assistant secretary Of the treas
ury. is to succeed Charles ID. Norton as
secretary to the president on April g. The
announcement came from the White House
and was made public at a luncheon in
honor Of Mr.. Hules by Mr.. Norton at the
latter's home President Taft stopped in
at the reception which followed.
Mr.. Norton on April 8. will become vice
president of the First National bank Of
New York
From the moment that It became known
that Mr.. Norton was TO retire from sec
retaryship at the White House, the report
had been current that Mr.. Hiles, II he
could be induced to do so, would be the
next secretary. Several months ago, how
ever, Mr. Hilles had made arrangements
to retire from public life and had entered
into a partnership agreement with I'd
mund Dwight of New York to act as gem
eral agent for an assurance company Of
London.
When President Taft urged Mr. Hilles to
accept the office Of secretary, this partner
ship agreement stood in the way Mr..
Iilles said he was definitely committed
and saw no way out of It. Leaders Of the
republican party brought their influence
to bear upon Mr.. Hiles to accept the post
at the White House.
Matters were at a standstill until Presi-
dent Taft sent for Mr.. Dwight, explained
the situation to him, and secured his con-
sent TO the dissolution of the partnership
agreement This left Mr.. Hnles free to
eccept and the formal announcement fol-
lowed today.

while not a party pledge, is a question
upon which a great many members OF
both houses consider themselves promised
and since there is a bill up in each house
several more fights can be expected 1t
is the general opinion now that the bill
will not get through both houses,
The most important matter left for the
majority to settle~is the legislative redis-
tricting of the state. Several bills for
this reapportionment work have appeared,
but none Of them have been acted upon.
The fight upon the question cannot be
long because the session is now reaching

and speedily carried out. but 1t will prob
ably line up different sections Of the state

Flirt with Women
and Then Rob Them
Sheppard and Gilmore Work Scheme
that Brings Them to Grief in
New York.

NEW TX, March 5.-(special Tele-
gram -Charged with victmTzing fashion
able women by flirting with them and then
robbing them OF their jewels, Harry IL.
Sheppard and John Gilmore were ar
raigned in the jefferson market police
court today. Two well dressed women ap-
peared as compliments against them. One
was Miss Glare Plant and the other Miss
Nellie Sinclair.
Sheppard was held for general sessions
in bonds of $1,000 and Gilmore, against
whom there were two charges of larceny
was held in 5000. Sheppard is well known
to the police. He has served time on Black
wells Island and his picture is I'm the
rogues gallery.
According to the police, Sheppard and
Gilmore frequented fashionable restaurants
in Broadway and Fifth avenue. They
dressed in immaculate suits and Sheppard
represented himself as an Englishman. The
men would keep lookout for women with
out escorts and then, under the pretense
OF picking up a napkin or doing some
little service would manage TO start a
conversation. Sheppard is a fine-looklng
fellow and so is Gilmore. BY calling them
selves stock brokers and making a lavish
display of supposed opulence the men APP
parently never had trouble in making
aoduaintsnces among women They always
picked out the ones with plenty of jewelry.
The police say that after striking up an
acquaintance Sheppard and Gilmore would
have paste duplicate made of one par
icular ring worn by their victim Then,
at another meeting, one Of them would ad-
mire the ring and ask the woman to let
him inspect it. After the inspection the
woman would receive the paste one In
place Of the real one, the officers say
More than fifteen women of fashion have
complained to the detective bureau that
they have been robbed in this way.

HIGH FINANCE GETS A SCARE
Report that Robin Has Told All is

MANY INDICTMENTS PREDICTED
District Attorney whitman of New
York starts a Probe that a.
Expected 20 Produce
some Results,


NEW YORK, March 5--Cspeclal Tele-
gram.)-High finance has had bad at
tack of the shivers and it is feared in
Wall street that financial scandals. such as
has not been seen for many years, are
about to break.
Tho word has gone out that Joseph c..
Robin. the banker whose sensational
failure led also to the collapse of the
Carnegie Trust company, has "squealed;"
that he has told everything hc knows or
suspects Of crookedncss and irregulaIig
in the banking business in New York and
that he has turned over to District At
torney Whitman books and documents
duplicating many men who stand high In
financial affairs.
Unlike Charles w. Morse Robin, It is
understood, does not propose to be made
a scapegoat to save bigger men, but is
determined to tighten his own punishment
by duplicating others.
Mr. whitman is known TO have been
in constant telephone communication all
through the day, with his office where
Joseph q. Robin, who has pleaded guilty TO
indictment OF larceny of $4,000 from the
Washington Savings bank, and his sister,
Dr. Louise g. Robinovitch, were In con
ference with District Attorney Clark,
Robin before leaving to walk over to the
district attorneys office this morning, sent
word TO an inquirer that he expected TO
be busy with Mr.. Clark all day.
That Robin has been of valuable as
sistance to the state was Indicated by his
confident attitude, as to the final dis
position Of the additional indictments which
are still pending against him. Already the
district attorney has announced that the
| indictment for perjury against Robin s
sister will be dismissed. As the basis upon
which Robin pleaded guilty was to save
the county the expense OF a trial, II will
have to recommend that the additional in
! dictments be dismissed.
! 1t was learned today that an important
! witness needed to testify is out of the
state. This witness is expected to return
not later than Monday. In event he does
not return by then It is understood Mr.
Whitman will act independently. The dis
trict attorney is determined to let no per-
son guilty of wrongdoing escape from
punishment.
! The investigation by Mr. whitman into
the methods of high finance, which resulted
/ in the crash of two banks and a trust com
! pany has been most thorough For more
than a month Assistant District Attorney
Clark has been in the possession OF the
books Of the Carnegie company.
Examiners of the state banking depart.
ment have been called upon for additional
evidence and both state and United States
bank examiners have been in consultation
with the district attorney.
Before the district attorney has completed
his probe, it Is expected that many in.
dictments will be found.
