Washington.-The house commit

quiry into the charges preferred
against DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
chemist of the department of agricul-
ture has given the food expert a clean
bill of health, generating him from
almost all of the accusations laid
against him.
The Republican members of the com
mittee joined with the Democrats in
making the report unanimous.
There is no politics in the report.

gether with compromises on some of
the matters about which the members
had differences Of view, permitted

In the course Of the hearings DR..
Wiley told how most of his rulings
were arbitrarily overruled. that there
were few cases of drug law violations
prepared because many lines Of in
quiry were taken out of his hands and
turned over to the Remsen referee
board for investigation
He said his hands were thus "abso-
lUtely paralyzed."
DR.. Wiley told the committee five
months ago that he had found it use

BILL WILL HELP FARMERS
Joint Measure Aiding Agricultural
Colleges introduced in Congress.

Washington. A bill of great
import was introduced in the
house of representatives by
Representative Lever of South Caro-
lima, and in the senate jointly by Sen
ators Hoke Smith and Page. The bill
provides for the further endowme nt
and support of agricultural colleges to
enable them to assist in getting into
practice the best methods of agricul-
ture.
This measure is the joint work OF
the National Soil Fertility league, the
executive committee OF the colleges
of agricu lture and the statesmen
above named. 1t is in line with the
presidents recommendation in his ad-
dress at the National Conservation
congress at Kansas City, September
rs, 1911, it has the support of the
house leaders of both parties, and 1t
may be regarded as an omni-part1san
measure. In plain terms, il will as
rapidly as possible, place a trained,
practical man, selected and directed
by the respective state agricultural
colleges, permanently In each agricul-
tural county of the United States, and
enables the farmer to become master
of his calling aided by the best serv-
ices the country can furnish, and sup.

FINDS NEW LORIMER LEAD.
Detective Burns Has Evidence Wit
ness Was Brjbed

Washington.-Whe the senate com
mittee inquiring into the election of
Senator William Lorimer of Illinois
resumes its session the allegation will
be made that Charles MCGOWAN, a
contractor living at Regina, Canada,
had received $1,000 for his testimony
in behalf of the senator
Mr.. MCGOWAN appeared before the
committee on July Is, last, and testi-
fed that he was a passenger on a
train running from Duluth to Virginia,
Mimi. On the same train were G. F.
Wiehe and Edward Hines. 1t was on
this train that Wiehe, brother-in-law
of Hines, is supposed to have said that
Jackpot" fund of 100000 had been
subscribed by the friends of Senator
Lorimer to buy his election to the
senate.
For over three months representa-
tives of William J. Burns, the de-
tective, were employed to gather in
formation bearing on the Lorimer
case. They were acting under the di-
rection of ]. ]. Healy, the special coun-
sci employed by the senate commit
tee.
During this time the detectives Sc
cured photographic confession from
MCGOWAN, which recorded that he had
been paid by the Lorimer people to
refute the testimony of c. F. Wiehe.

SMALL FARMS FOR MEXlCANS
They Are to Be Made From Large
Tracts Purchased by the
Government.

The first move of the government
toward buying large tracts of land for
the purpose of cutting them up into
tlement by Mexican agriculturists
seems about to be undertaken.
The Sautena hacienda, an enormous
property owned by lingo Noriega, Bar
ron Zayas and Gen Porfirio Di2z and
situated in the northern part of the
republic, will be acquired.
Gustayo Madero and Gen. Manuel
Garcia Cuellar are at the head of the
syndicate which will make the pur-
chase and begin the irrigation of the
land at once. The purchase price and
the cost of irrigation will be, it is as
serted, not less than 100000.
Gen. Diaz had a similar plan In view
and had arranged for the government
to pay to the owners the sum Of S.
100000 for the purpose of irrigating
the property, with the understanding
that it was to be sold to the govern
ment to be parcelled out among small
farmers on easy payment terms. The
$5,O00,000 was deposited in the Cen
trail bank in this city In furtherance
Of the plan, and the money is still
there for such purpose.
As soon as the irrigation develop
ment is well under way the hacienda
will pass into the hands of the govern
ment and then all Mexicans who are
living in Texas will be invited to &C re
TO Mexico and take up the lands for
settlement and cultivation.
In the middle of the big hacienda
there is small ranch called Colon
bres. 1t is intended to cut this ranch
up into building lots and build town
there as the center of the farming

EX-BANk MAN Is ARRESTED
Henry w. Richardson Is Charged Witt
Making False Entries.

Kansas City, Mo.-The first step
toward criminal prosecution in con-
connection with the American Union
Trust company, now in the hands of
the state bank examiner, was taken
when warrant charging false entry
on the company's books was issued
for Henry w. Richardson, and the au-
thorities in Shreveport, La, have been
asked to take Richardson into GUS
tody.
The state will endeavor to prove
that Richardson at the time he was
president of the American Union
Trust company, which took over the
All Night and Day bank, made a deal
with John L. Laughlin, president of
the American, fraternal insurance or
der of Denver, whereby stock in the
trust company was changed for worth
less debenture bonds in the insurance
company, the transaction being en-
tered upon the trust company's books
as an actual stock sale.

Finqers and Toes.

DR.. Lucas Lucas, an eminent Lon
don anatomist, predicts that in the
course Of time, say in 100000 years
or so, man will become a one-toed
animal. His theory is that the outer
toes, being less and less employed,
will gradually disappear.
This recalls a curious though quite
different thing. There lives in a
certain region of Pennsylvania a
wealthy family the male members of
which all have five fingers on each
hand, the fifth one appearing just
back of the fourth finger on the nor
NAL hand, the extra member being as
well developed and serviceable as the
others.
This popularity has been inherited
by the males of the family from gen
GRAFTON to generation, and so far
from being regarded by them as a
deformity, the chances are that If a
son with only four fingers on each
hand were born to any of them he
would be looked upon as a defective.
