On February 9th the governor neld
conference with a number of seed
dealers, the assistant attorney general
and the state botanist. 1t was the I'M
animous opinion of those present that
certain parts of the seed law, if en-
forced to the letter, will work great
hardships on seed dealers and plant
tiers alike. 1t was, therefore, decided
that a liberal Interpretation should
be put on the law so that the home
grown seed can be marketed and so
that the planter can get all the seeds
required by him. In accordance with
this principle the attorney general and
the director of the experiment station
have concurred in the following for
the year, 1912:
Section l. That this section shall
refer only to field and grass seeds,
thus allowing the sale of flower and
garden seeds only the usual labels.
Sec. 3. That no certificate of guar
antee shall be required from the re-
tail seed dealer, but a retail seed lie
ense must be obtained.
Sec. 4. That less than one ounce
of rare and valuable seeds will be ac

PARIS, Feb. PA young woman
the wife of a captain stationed a
Bernay, in the Eure, was SO alarmed
the other night, as she was travelling
up to Paris, by the strange conduct O.
three men, that she opened the door O.
the compartment ard threw herself
onto the track, as being the lesser Of
two evils.
| She was badly bruised, and tainted
| but when she revived she was able
| to walk along the line to a little sta
| ton, where she related her adventure
| A goods train, which approached a
few minutes afterwards was stopped.
She was put into van, and so reach
ed Breval, where doctor, to whom a
telegram had been forwarded, was
awaiting her arrival. He found that
the poor woman was not seriously
hurt, and she was able to continue
in another train, which soon came
along. In this she resumed her jour-
ney to Paris, where she was met by
her husband, who had been very anx-
ious about her.
Madame Valiant gives a graphic ac
count of her adventure. She explains
that ever since the horrible murder in
q first-class carriage of Madame
Goulin, who was travelling from Fon-
tainebleau to Paris, and with whom
she was acquainted, she had trav-
eled third-class in the hope that no
one would think of molesting her.
She had been alone in her compart-
ment little while when three individ-
uals approached from the next car
riage. One of them lowered the cur
tain of the lamp which illumined the
corridor of her carriage, and another,
who had been staring fixedly at her,
vent to the alarm signal as if to pre-
vent her from using it.
With the murder of poor Madame
Iouin still fresh in her memory she
became greatly alarmed, and, scarce
y able to get out the words, she said
O the man who had darkened the
amp, "Why are you doing that, if you
lease?" He answered rudely, using
he second person singular, which is
insulting except in the case of re1a-
ives, comrades or very intimate
riends, You will understand why
resently'' This had the effect of
frightening her still more.

.. ~ eHpHaslZeu IN the 5resolu-

public and everyone who called was
given hearing. The result was uni.
que. There is not a problem that has
Deen publicly aired in the last twenty
years that was not brought to the at.
tentlon OF the committee, one man go.
ing SO far as to demand that the com.
mlttee go on record as favoring re.
searches by government doctors tc
ind a perfect corn cure. But all who
came were given a courteous hearing
and the committee ignored the absurd
suggestions.
1t was generally hoped that the
Platform would be short, although 4
was also realized that as it was 70 be
modelled on the declaration Of Colonel
Roosevelt, made today, it would be
impossible to make it the one thous.
and word document that many of the
leaders would like to have. 1t was
certain, however, that it would declare
for scientific revision of the tariff,
the Roosevelt plan of trust regulation,
an honest enforcible plan Of en-
ployers' liability and workingmans
compensation, radical conservation Of
natural resources, the settlement by
the adult men and women of each
state of the suffrage question, a
strong army and navy reform and
laws everywhere which would make
more easy the rule of the people. The
minimum wage child labor, workmen' i
insurance and old age pensions were
also to have attention 1t was expect
ed that the committee would confer
with Roosevelt tonight regarding the
platform and at that conference the
final touches would be placed on the
document.
The vice presidential situation
loomed large in today's developments.
The real candidates are Governor
johnson of California; backed by most
of the leaders, who would like to have
a hard campaigner put in second place
on the ticket; Judge Ben Lindsey
who turned down the overtures to
make him United States senator from
Colorado il he would remain in the
democracy, and John M. Parker of
New Orleans. In addition there are
several compromise candidates who
have rods up and are hoping that the
lightning will strike.
In an attempt to get Lindsey out OF
the running his name was suggested
to the committee on permanent or
ganization as the choice of the major
ity of the leaders for permanent chair
man. The judge, however, refused to
take the honor He told the commit
tee that they did not have time to lis
ten to another Keynote" speech and
suggested that the temporary organi-
cation be made permanent. Lindsey's
friends were very active in his be-
half today and delegation of the
Colorado delegates called on Colonel
Roosevelt in his behalf. Roosevelt un-
doubtedly has a preference but up to
the present he has refused to let It
become known, simply saying that he
wants strong candidate who can ap-
peal to the people as a real reformer.
