American in England After
Shakespeare CIeW.
Duke Of Beaufort Backing DR.. Orville
Owen Of Detroit in His Search
for Hiding Place of Key to
Ancient Mystery.

London.-During the last three days
general attention has once more been
called to the evergreen Bacon
Shakespeare controversy by the news
that Dr. Orville Owen of Detroit has
begun extensive digging in the bed of
the River Wye at Chepstow.
The doctor is not digging for treas
ures. Besides himself and the Duke
of Beaufort, whom he has succeeded
in interesting in his search, no one
knows exactly the nature of his mys-
ferrous quest The American has de-
clared, however, that he hopes to dis
cover nothing less than undisputable
proofs that Bacon was the real au-
thor of the Shakespearean works.
1t is asserted by some Baconians
that Sir Francis Bacon was son Of
Queen Elizabeth and rightful heir to
the throne, and that he published
things which he dared not publish un-
der his own name, hiding them by
means Of cipher in his plays, which
were issued under the name Of
Shakespeare
1t is this cipher which DR.. Owen
has come from Detroit to England to
find. He had been laying his plans
more than a year, and now has sue
ceeded in obtaining leave to make ex
tensive excavations in the mud Of the
Wye on the property of the Duke of
Beaufort.
The work can only be accomplished
at low tide, and the strenuous efforts
of dozen diggers already have pro-
duced results which the American
doctor considers justify his search.
A few logs of oak and pieces of &C.
ment were raised from one of the
numerous holes dug in the river bed.
Logs float" argues Dr. Owen.
"They could not be imbedded in the
mud unless purposely placed there.
and cement is much the sort of thing
that would be used in walling up
hidden object"
The doctor declared he was under
contract not to divulge the first fruits
of his search to the newspapers, and
refused to tell how he discovered the
exact spot where, according to his be-
lief, lies the key to the great literary
question.
1t has, however transpired that one
clew was given him by line in the
first folio edition, 1923, of Shakes
,seare opposite his portrait.

sir, for true angle at Chepstow."
Owen spent last year searching for
the angle" and explored Chepstow
castle without results. AS soon as he
received the Duke of Beaufort's per-
mission, it is said the doctor, who
never had been at Chepstcw before,
found his way through the woods to q
spot one mile from the castle, to-
wards the Wye. He walked with the
secret of his cipher and without hest
tation directed the workmen to begin
digging at a certain bend in the river
According to an Express correSpon-
dent DR.. Owen showed him the source
of information which enabled him to
locate the precise spot where a manu-
script was hidden. 1t is a long scroll,
35 feet in length and a yard wide,
which at first glance appears nothing
more than a conglomeration of print
ed letters and utterly meaningless
If, however, the words are picked
out in eliptical formation they make
a group and sentences such as Il fill

and beams" II cut down all trees and
turned the course of the river" and
make a triangle of 1923 feet due
north and 33 PAGES" become plainly

PLANT WIZARD Is HOp1RED
Eoston's Great Gardener, jackson T.
Dawson. Is Given George Rob-
ert White Medal.

| Boston-The award by the trustees
Society of the George Robert White
medal of honor to Jackson T. Daw-
son calls the attention Of the public
to one of the great gardeners of the
world
1t is the opinion of Prof c. S. Sar-
gent, the director of the Arnold ar
boretum, the tree garden of Harvard
university, of which Mr.. Dawson is
the superintendent that no man in
his time and probably no man in any
time has ever raised SO many plants
belonging to SO many different spe-
cies of plants and shrubs as has the
winner of this years medal which is
the highest honor the United States
can give such man. A nurseryman
may raise millions of plants of sin
gle species, but TIE abOretum garden
er has raised great numbers of plants
of multitude of species.
AS a result of their twenty-five
years of labor the tree garden is now
within sight of the purpose Of It's d.
rector that it shall contain al the
trees and shrubs of all the countries
of the world that will grow in the eli
mate of eastern Massachusetts. Yet
all these trees. with very few excep-
tions, have been planted and raised
from the seed by Mr.. Dawson.

SACKS and pile them in his ware
house, according to sizes.
Several large potato growers OF
Minnesota have seen model and
drawing of the machine, an illustration
of which is shown above, and are en-
thusiastic over its promise to tighten
the burden of the potato grower and
enable him to produce an increased
acreage.
The machine is light, compact in
construction and can be operated by
two horses. The pillow, which occu-
pies a position directly between the
drive wheels, is so constructed that
it can be pitched at any desired angle,
can be operated at almost any desired
depth Or raised entirely above the
ground. An ingenious device removes
all weeds and vines in the pathway
of the machine The potatoes are car
ried back from the pillow to a grating,
from which they are lifted by IN
endless chain elevator to the sorting
shakers, from which they run BY
gravitation through spouts to the sack
ing devices. The machine can be
turned short around, while the plow
is in the ground. The machine will
be manufactured in ST. Paul, and will
be demonstrated at the state fair
grounds this fall.

A Plea for the Slave Overseer.

The unfortunate Overseer must not
be condemned without due allowance.
He had to contend with the mean
status among his own race that his
employment too frequently involved.
He had to cope with fire and food; =
with drought and crop failure; with
the frequent ravages Of fatal epidem-
les, especially cholera, among his
hands. More veXatious than all else,
and more trying to nerves and temper,
was the task of exciting unwilling Ia
Dor from the blacks. Their incorrigi-
BILE tendency to eye service, to lazi-
ness, lying, petty thieving, quarrel
someness and malingering, would have
taxed the patience of far better men
than overseers for the most part were.
Besides, salary of $500 to $500 year
was not likely to command the COM
bined virtues of a Moses and Nnma.

NEW POTATO HARVESTER
st. FsuI Man lnvents Machine That
Will Revoutionize Potato
Industry. !

0. A. Gilmore of st. Paul. Mimi,
has just received notification from
Washington of the approval by the
patent office of a potato harvesting
machine, which, those who have seen
his plans and drawings believe, will
revoutionize the potato industry OF
the country. One of the greatest
drawbacks to the development and in
crease in production Of potatoes lies
in the difficulty of digging and gather
ing the tubers. Potato acreage is
necessarily restricted because of these
reasons. Mr.. Gilmore's machine not
only digs potatoes by new and inn
proved method, but it gathers, frees
from dirt, sorts and sacks them, SO
that all the farmer has tC do is to go
along with a wagon and pick up the

Madison Stirred by "Dry" Debate.

All Madison turned out to hear the
debate on the Axel Johnson bill,
which, If passed, would make Madison
a dry" town. The bill provides that
all cities containing state university
shall be dry" territory, and that the
area within a mile of each normal
school shall be dry"
Merlin Hull and Senator Henry
Krumroy conducted the hearing on
behalf of the senate committee on
state affairs and the assembly excise
committee. The proponents of the
bill were given the first chance, then
came the representatives of the liquor
and other interests opposing. At the
end the proponents were given fifteen
minues for rebuttal.
Professor Gilmore of the college of
law led off the discussion in favor OF
the bill, giving the reasons why
the city should eliminate saloons and
take temptation out of the way OF the
1900 young men here, about two
thirds of which are minors.
Emerson Ella, local att icy. said
that the loss of license money to the
city was a trivial consideration. He
took the attitude that the good that
would result to the city could not be
measured In dollars. Joseph NJ Boyd
banker, said that he knew Of several
saloon keepers who wanted to quit

timent against liquor drinking.

sembly killed the two bills by Simon
Smith appropriating $4,000 to each OF
the organizations. The money was to
have been used for extra equipment

hearings on both bills that the money
was needed The execution of the
bills was another exhibition of the as.
sembly's independence of committee
recommendations, both these bills
having been recommended for pas
sage 1t was also a popularity that
the assembly did not hold any debate
on the two bills. They were simply
put to death without a mourning note
or a protest from the supporters,
After the session it was explained by
against the bills according to the So
cialist policy of not furthering any
movement for the furtherance of war
or the charging of the equipment OF
warfare
DR.. C. a. Harper, local member of
the assembly, secured further consid-
Grafton of his bills calling upon the
state to pay part of the cost of pave
ments around state property. All
these bills were resurrected for re-
will vote on them again. DR.. Harper
offered an amendment under which
the cost of the pavement would come
out of the university fund income and
not the general state funds. The
third bill for pavement around the cap
itOl heating plant remains unchanged,
Since the action of the assembly In
killing the bills last week, there has
been a change Of sentiment. Mr..
Hull, who opposed the passage of the
bills recently, is said to be satisfied
with the proposition of taking the
money from the university funds. In
cidentally, Mr.. Hull secured passage
of his bill placing further restrictions
upon sales of liquor to IndiarA
After a short debate the assembly
sent to engrossment the French bill
which makes the possession of gov
eminent license prima facie evidence.
Gen F. G. Winkler's bill making it
possible for all Wisconsin survivors
of the three-day battle in Gettysburg
in 1863 to attend the coming battle

for engrossment. The bill was intro
duced in the assembly by Mr.. Stern
and in the senate by Mr.. KlecZka.
When the bill came up question was
raised and it was re-referred to COM
mittee.
Assemblyman Gilbertson's bill pro
viding for the commission form OF
government in cities of the second
third and fourth classes, was passed
and sent to the senate. The assembly
also passed the Social Democratic
