INCREASE VEGETATION
OR We WILL STARVE"
Prof. de vries of Holland Ex
plains New Theory to b.
tanical Society.

new theory for increasing the weld
of vegetation to the acre was explained
to members of the Botanical Society of
Washington last night by Prof. Hugo de
Vries. director of the botanical gardens
of Amsterdam, Holland, at a special
meeting held in his honor at the Cosmos
Club.
Prof. de Eries spoke Of the increasing
population of the world, and of the rapid
exhaustion of the fields. and declared
that only great strides by science could
save the world of the future from starva-
ton.
Some means must be found" he said,
'of obtaining a greater yield from each
acre than is possible today. Science has
done much to aid in this. but the work
which has been accomplished SO far is
but the laying of foundation for the
work which must follow.
Says New Plant Life Is Needed.
"Ui to this time it has been possible
to maintain the increase of production
with the increase of population. But
what are now needed are entirely new
forms of plant life, as the present posi-
bilities Of selecting and combining the
best strains are being rapidly exhausted
Experiments are now laying OF firm
foundation for producing new forms Of
plant life.
II have nothing better than Theory at
present, but l hope to prove il practi-
cable. WhaII propose to do is to study
each form of plant life, and find ways in
which nature combines the best in strains
TO reach the perfect production Then by
experiments which would be made to pro-
uce the very highest life, II may be able
TO breed plant which will produce much
more than the form of life nature
achieves"
Prof de Vries was followed by Willet
NJ. Hays, assistant secretary of agri-
culture; DIR. Edwin +. Smith OF the bu-
Ieau of plant industry of the Department
of Agriculture, who gave an appreciation
OF Prof. de Vr;es. in which he declared
Prof de VrieS to be the greatest author
sty on plant and animal breeding which
the world had ever known; Prof. w. j.
Spillman chief of the bureau of plant in
dustry, who declared that Prof de Vries
had been the stimulant to modern thought
and advancement in science dealing y. l..
plant life, and by Prof. +. V. Coville,
botanist of the Department of AgricLl-
ture, who called upon Prof. de Vries to
explain his method of discovering how
nature reached the highest in the o.
duction of the evening primrose. Prof. de
Eries then gave a technical talk in which
he explained his steps.
Much Honored by Royalty.
Prof. de Vries< is called the father of
modern thought in plant and animal
breeding and is recognized authority on
tuch matters. He bears honorary degrees
rom practically every large university of
Europe and the United States and has

HILLSvILLE. Va, March 21.-Sid-
na Allen and his gang today apparently

edy that blotted out. the circuit court

Posses have surrounded three diner

either had escaped or had not been
there at all. -
Nothing had been heard early today
from the detectives who were in the
field yesterday and last night. The
town is excited over a report that a
party OF the Aliens or their sympathi5-
ers rode to a point within three miles
OF HillsviIle last night and placed a
notice of their own beside the COVER

wards for the fugitive clansmen, dead

the family by The Atlanta Journal

For a moment the aged woman did

ment the words, she has left for
home" her face frightened up and the
pronounced signs of age that the wor-
ry and sorrow of the past two weeks
have seemed to accentuate almost COM

exclammations followed each other in
rapid succession from Mrs. Ulrich and
the other members of the family. None
of whom took pains to conceal their

Mrs. Grace is due to arrive in Phila-

results of her husbands injuries. she
will continue the prosecution of law

the amount of $4,000.
Mrs. Grace's' suit is the eutgrowth
of an accident that happened while she

Lebanon in 1910. This case was to
have been called yesterday. but owing
to Mrs Graces enforced absence from

MAINE AND KANSAS
DELEGATIONS ARE
SAFE FOR WILSON
Maine Did Not Instruct Out
right Simply Because Maine
Democrats Never Have In
StruCted Delegations

WASHINGTON. ID. C, March IL
The Democratic state convention Of
Maine selected delegates TO the Balu-
more convention yesterday and at least
OF the IL favor the nomination of
Gov. woodrow Wilson for the presi-
dency. Never in their history have
Maine Democrats instructed delegates
TO national conventions and IL was this
fact alone that prevented resolutions
OF instructions in favor of the New
Jersey executive at yesterdays conven-
ton
This action was forecasted in an in
terview by Representative McGilltcud-
dy, a strong Wilson champion, which
was issued from the Washington head
quarters of the New Jersey executive
some time ago. Mr.. McGillicuddy said
at the time:
Maine will not instruct its delega-
ton, but Governor Wilson's friends can
count on Names vote when the bal
loting begins"
Despite denials by Speaker Clarl's
congressional majors. there is over
whelming evidence from Kansas cor
roborating the statement that IA of the
DELEGATES elected from that state to
the Baltimore convention favor the nomi-
nation OF Governor Wilson. Certainly
the delegates themselves know more
about the situation than congressional
managers in Washington. And here is
what James w. Orr the delegate from
the First Kansas congressional district
to the Baltimore convention, has to say
on this subject:
IF left to an unbranded choice.
there was at least 75 majority for Gov
ernor Wilson in the Hutchinson (state)
convention. as is evidenced by the fact
N = IL asaH. "a
avowed Wilson men.
at was the understanding of the
convention that the delegation to Balti-
more should vote for Champ Clark as
a first choice and for Governor Wilson
as a second choice, but that the delega-
ton might, at any time when 1t was
deemed by two-thirds of it's members
to be expedient so to do. change it's
vote from Clark to Wilson or to any
other candidate.
This is my understanding, and l
know 1t is the general understanding"
There is no disposition on the part
OF Governor wilson's supporters to
have the Kansas delegation violate its
instructions, but, nevertheless and not
wfthstanding, II is fact two-thirds of the
deIeEation favor the nomination Of the
New Jersey executives
Many letters and kilograms reached
Wilson headquarters today, setting
forth the facts. Paul A. Jones, the edi-
tor OF the Coffeyville Sun, wrote as fol-
lows:
~Of the 20 delegates from Kansas.
Mr.. Wilson has IA and Mr.. Clark s. In
the state convention the speaker had
majority OF % delegates, which &C
counts for instructions. BY districts
Governor Wilson had a majority, which
accounts for his majority of the dele
gates. Governor Wilson's supporters
controlled six OF the eight districts"

DEMOCRATS IN INDIANA
TO ENDORSE MARSHALL
Governor of That State Put
Forward by His Friends in

INDIANAPOLIS, March 21.-Instruc-
ton OF Indianas delegation to the
Democratic national convention to vote
for Governor Marshall as candidate for
the presidential nomination is one of
the principal planks of the platform 70
be submitted to the state convention to-
day. Party Leaders declared the reso-
luton would De auopred without oppo-
sition. Gov. Thomas r. Marshall, of
Indiana, temporary chairman of the In
diana state Democratic convention, in
his address urged Democrats to go this
year to the people upon a platform the
cardinal principle of which is opposi-
ton to special privilege.
Governor Marshall said in part:
Ethics deny the dragging of a per-
sonal opponent into a public speech
unless thereby a sharp distinction be-
tween views can be drawn. With Re
publican quarrels and controversies we
have nothing to do. We must appeal
to the people of Indiana on the strength
of our principles and the integrity Of
our candidates We dare not rely upon
the weakness of our opposition and IL
would be cowardly to do so did We
dare. Sixty years is but point in the
circle OF c1NlllZdIlOns yet the last oO
have produced two men whose views
will leave an impress upon all time. No
liberty lover Will ever have cause to
forget the name of Lincoln, and none
will be able to forget the name Of
Roosevelt.
Lincoln held it to be the inaIienable
right of an unsuccessful litigant to so
down to the tavern and cuss the court.
1t is the theory of Roosevelt that 1T as
the right of an unsuccessful htigant to
go down to the tavern and override
the court. Bitterness of spirit and in
dignation at what deem to be judicial
iniustices seize me. Even now, I am
chatting under what l conceive to be
the unwarranted interference Of the
courts with my prerogatives. But my
sober judgment. looking to the permu-
nent good of the people impels me to
insist that the courts must remain free
and untrammeled, that we must first
seek relief through the remedy we now
have and patiently abide the lawful
reversal of judicial injustice.
