Mexico is contained In the following
telegram from President Madero,
which will be printed in The Times
tomorrow:
Presidents Palace. City Of Mexi-
co, Feb. 2S.-lt must be understood
by every one that have not the
slightest intention OF resigning the
presidency of Mexico. The situa-
tion Is delicate in many parts of the
state of Chihuahua, in the environs
of Torreon, the regions south of
Toahuila and certain sections Of Du-
range and Zacatecas, but the gov
ernment has a sufficient force to
dominate the situation in very
short time because public opinion is
generally with the government and
is resulting in the offering of many
volunteers. 1t is believed that in
two or three weeks Chihuahua will
be relatively pacified. Moreover, the
government is organizing many
\ forces of volunteers under expert
enced military leaders, who will
take commaIMa in the zones of. dis
turbanfes and make more rabid and

Former Sheriffs NelIis and Davis
Settle Disputed Accounts Aft
er Two Years
Compromise Made and County Gets
$1,000 Case up 70 Sup Il
RENE Court

Two ex-sheriffs of Alexander
couaty paid over, yesterday to Coun-
ty Assessor and Treasurer w K.
Lippitt nearly $.',n0o in cash, mich
they had been holding in their pos
session for over two years iii one
instance and yaar In the other.
Frank E. Davis, who was deposed by
Gov. Deneen, he'll hts money two
years, and Fred u. Nellis, who sue
ceeded Davis he'd the funds year
Both men have l,,en ready to turn
over the MONEY ftcm the time they
relinquished their Offices. but each
claimed the county commissioners
would not give them clear receipt.
The two men have been advised
by their attorneys not to make their
final settlement unless such receipts
were given them. Their accounts
were not checked up completely, by
the commissioners until recently.
The settlement was a compromise.
The claims of the sheriffs were
much in excess of what they really
obtained, according to one Of the
commissioners.
"~ Trouble Over 0usting.
The trouble was brought about
lby the ousting OF Frank E.. Davis. by
Governor Deneen, as the result of
the lynching of "Froggy" James in
November, 1909. The taking over of
the office of sheriff and collector by
Coroner McManus and the appoint
ment of Fred d. Nellis as sheriff for
the unexpired term.
Davis contends that he is entitled
to the fees of the office for his full
term and has entered suit to recover.
The case is now UP to the United
States Supreme court.
Coroner McManus, not long after
Nellis was appointed by the county
commissioners, made demand upon
Nellis for the office, owing to a
court decision that the county COM
missioners should have ordered an
election instead of making an ap-
pointment. The law requires that,
whore the unexpired term is for a
full year or more an election must
be ordered to fill the vacancy.

Washington, Feb. 81 1.-THE House
steel trust Investigating COMMITTEES
today made public the result OF the
inquiry into the books and minutef
Of the United States. Steel Corpora.
tiop. conducted by Farquhar I Nc.
Rae, an expert accountant.
The McRae report reaches the
conclusion that the Steel Corpora
tion operates in restraint OF trade
and prevents competition through a
manipulation Of prices, through the
influence of the so-called Gary din
ners,' byIicontrol Of raw materials
and through a system of interlock-
Ing directors in various companies.
1t also tends to contradict some Of
the testimony given by steel trust Of
ficials.
Morgan Got Big Sum.
Some OF the figures dealt with In
the report are startling. 1t Is shown
that j. P. Morgan G. Co. received ap-
proximately $70,o00.000 in cash
profits for organizing the big steel
combine, and that the net profits OF
the concern for the first nine years
of its existence were more than a
billion dollars.
Steel Corporation officials object
ed to producing their books before
the Committee in this city,. but con-
sented to place them freely at the
disposal OF an expert to be named
by the committee Mr. McRae made
a thorough study OF the books and
| minutes, and in his report to the
committee he pointed out these ga
lient features:
That J. p. Morgan & Co, heading
the syndicate which organized the
steel corporation, received cash
profit of $50 300, 900, of which S62,-
$500 900 was for promotion,
That the net earnings of the cor
poration for period OF nine years
were 1929 ,6S5,3S9, or an equiva-
lent of approximately $13 ton on
finished product, instead OF $780,
! O00,311 as claimed by the Corpora
tion in its report.
Trust Controls 80 Per Cent.
That the steel corporation, con-
trary to the statement made by
Judge Gary and II. G, Frick to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1907 that II did
not control more than so per cent OF
steel properties In the country. con-
trolls about so per cent of the steel
holdings.

vaseline or something of similar
nature. The uterus and particularly
the outer parts around the vagina
should be disinfected with two
percent solution of carbolic acid.
The easiest way to disinfect the
uterus is to attach a small piece of
rubber tubing to a funnel and pour
the disinfecting solution in the fun
mel, the latter being held in a raised
position. Other methods such as
isolation of animals infected, disin-
lection of the sheath of the bull and
the bull pen, should be practiced. Ii
a new animal is brought into the
herd, care should be taken to have
her examined for any discharges, and
il same is'notIced, the uterus should
be disinfected according to the direc-
tions given.
FEEDING FAT INTO MILK.
q CHURNING TEMPERATURE.
Question: When is a cows milk
richer, just after coming fresh or a
few weeks beforeY Does the different
kinds of feed make any difference in
the quality ~of the milk? At what
temperature should cream be churn-
ed?
Answer: Cows milk is much
richer in fat before she freshens than
afterward. There is frequently as
much difference as five per cent The
kind of feed that you use does not,
as rule, make any difference in the
quality of the milk. That is to say,
you cannot feed fat into milk. If,
however, COW has been under fed
and has not had the proper care, and
then change to better feed and care
is made, a slight increase in per cent
of fat may be noticed. until she has
reached her maximum, but it cannot
go beyond this regardless of the
nature of the feed. The temperature
at which to churn cream will depend
upon the conditions under which you
are working. If cream is properly
soured and from a mixed herd getting
normal feed, the temperature of
churning should range between SO
degrees in the summer to 60 in the
winter
STRONG AND BITTER MILK.
Question: [ would like to know
what is wrong with my COW? She
will not come fresh for four months,
yet the milk is strong and has Bit
ter taste, as does the butter made
from the milk. She has never been
dry since she began milking three
years ago. Any information will be
much appreciated. W. j. Bellevue,
Wash.
Answer: There are usually two
principle causes of bitter milk and
cream. One is where the germ caus
ing the fermentation gains entrance
to the milk during the process of
milking or in the subsequent cooling
and storing in contaminated utensils.
When this is the cause the bitter
taste is rarely noticeable until the
milk is II hours old. The only course
to pursue is to thoroughly sterilize
the utensils and keep the barn air
pure.

to know how to prevent it from get
ting to the rest of my herd. +. b.
Sherlock, Wash.
Answer: This is a disease that de-
mands the most stringent methods of
disinfection if it is to be controlled.
AS soon as the COW has aborted the
foetus and all discharge should be
burned and the premises where the
abortion took place should be thor
oughly disinfected with a five percent
solution of carbolic acid. 1t usually
follows that the after birth is retained
in cases OF abortion and this must be
