The Everglades Scandal.
Washington, D. c.. April 3.-Secre
tary Wilson testified before the Hou 5t
committee on expenditures in the agri
cultural department today in answe
to critics of his conduct in connection
with reports on the drainage Of tn,
Florida Everglades. Mr.. Wilson hat
been attacked, first for permitting t.
be published departmental report
which doomed the Everglades land
and then because he suppressed tn,
information.
Mr.. Wilson denied that the origina
excerpt of the report of Major ]. o
Wright on the Everglades was give,
out with his consent. This excerp
was used for advertising in Florida.
It was obtained in the department
by Henry Clay Hall. Later, Mr. vii
son said, he wrote former Governo
Gilchrist of Florida and authorized
the publication of parts of his lette1
in relation to the Everglades.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that the department had not made {
complete investigation of the Ever
glades project on any of the features
covered in the reports in controversy
The secretary explained that the
function of publishing bulletins was
regarded as important in the de
partment.
I'VE take pride in these publica
tions and try to make them as nearly
accurate as possible" said the secre
tary. The secretary denied any per
sonal knowledge about land sharks
but he was unable to say to what ex
tent stories of their operation had ir
fluenced him.
Mr.. Wilson was asked to repudiate
the excerpt of the Everglades report
sent to the governor of Florida, but
he said it was still valuable as fal
as it is useful"
Hearings Are Over.
Washington, D. c., April 3.-Secre
tary Wilson defended the department
actions in connection with reports or
the Everglades. He denied categoric
ally and in detail that any one had
approached him either directly or in
directly with any proposal to suppress
any department information on the
subject with an improper motive. Al
the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson's testi
mony, the Everglades investigation
hearings were adjourned. The com
m!ttee now will formulate its report.

GOVERNOR HOCH
TO MAKE ADDRESS
Kansas Statesman VIII BE the At.
traction on Lecture Course for
Tuesday, January

The third number of the COLLEGE
lecture course will be given in the
auditorium of the college Tuesday
evening, January Z, 1913 at SIZE.
AL that time the students and towns
people will have the opportunity of
nearing one of Americas foremost
speakers, and one of her most prom
lheht statesmen, Hon. f. w. Hoch.
VINO, for two terms served as COVER
nor OF Kansas. AS governor of this
great state, Mr.. Hoch accomplished
probably what no governor of anv
state has been able to accomnlish
WITHIN the same period. Legislation
OF momentous Importance. affecting
not only his own state but having an
influence as well upon other states.
LOT the cause of good government.
was brought about during the adj
mlnistration of Governor Hoch. He
was immensely popular, not only
with the people of Kansas. but with
people throughout the United States.
Wherever he met them on either the
lyceum or the chautauqua platforms
he was delighted and instructed his
andinces by his messages.
During his administration many OF
the things which he championed were
erystallized into law. A few of these
may be summed up as follows:
First.-Oil legislation which has
made possible in three years the es-
tablishment OF nineteen successful In

TALKS ON MARKETING.
Wien Who Have Had Experience in
Marketing Address Students
Interested in the Problem

Inc question of the proper market
ing of the products of the Northwest
mas now become so acute that the sit
uation is we'll expressed in the words
OF Former President Cleveland. that
IT Is not theory, but situation. In
order that the student may thorough
~ understand the situation, Prof. Tay
Tor, who has charge of the course in
markets and marketing has arrang-
ed Tor a series of talks by men who
understand the various phases of the
situation because of their active par.
ticipation in the industries. Before
Thanksgiving recess Mr.. J. l.. Dumas,
discussed the apple situation, show
ing how the apple merchant was at
the mercy of the eastern commission
man and that his only avenue of
escape was through cooperation. His
talk was well substantiated by refer
ence to personal experience. His
opinion is that not only will the pro-
Queer receive benefit from cooper
alive alliance but that the consumer
Will also receive the same product at
a cheaper price and thus stands ready
to aid the producer to destroy the
middleman profit.
Following this, series of talks
were given by Professor Green, who
! explained briefly the methods of buy
ing and selling on the Chicago Board
of Trade and showed that the dealing
| IN speculative contracts had no great
influence on the price that the farmer
| received for his wheat, but that at
times he stood liable to receive more
than he could otherwise obtain Ex-
PLANTATION was made of how farmer,
miller or exporter could assure him
self an expected profit and the reason
why the consumer was never con-
cerned about his daily bread supply.
On Monday of this week, Mr.. l.. C.
Crow president of the Farmers
Union of this state gave an extended
discourse on the work that had been
accomplished by the Farmers Union
of this state in the marketing OF
wheat by farmers associations. He
showed how the farmer formerly re-
ceived a price that was made by the
purchaser and contrasted it with tho
price now received, which averaged
about six cents more per bushei. The
N ethod and extent of the farmers
warehouses, was defined as we'll as
their relation to the farmer. Mr.. Crow
pointed out that the conservatism of
the farmer often was repugnant to
his own best interests and has retard-
ed the growth of farmers associa-
tions, and also caused him to adhere
to the customary method of market
ing his wheat in sacks, although. as
he presented it, the farmer was in the
hands of a sack trust" and it was
better to market his grain in bulk
Mr.. Crow figured that the association
of this state in the past five years
has saved about s2,500,OOO to the
farmers.
This series of discussions is but a
part of the work to make the class
room an aid to the community and
to have representative men who are
in close touch with actual conditions
discuss the problems that are now
confronting the Northwest farmer.

George Pickering, a carpenter
and cabinet maker of Dover, has
invented an automobile wheel for
which he has already received an
offer of 81. 900 if he will sell the
patent rights. Mr.. Pickering's
wheel disposes of the problem of
blow-outs and broken shoes. and
dispenses with the pneumatic or
blown-up tire. By a solid tire,
with double edges and rugged in
"traction" pattern that it will not
skid, the spokes are connected with
fixed springs. The device is guar
anteed to insure all the comfort of a
pneumatic tire and yet saves SIS
in first cost per wheel and saves
much in the upkeep. The wheel
includes an inner felloe carrying
the annular plate extending out.
wardly from its periphery, an out
er felloe spaced from the inner fell
lOe and carrying an annular plate
extending inwardly from its peri
phery, recurved interlocking f1anges
formed respectively on the outer
edge of the inner ring and on the
inner edge of the outer ring. and
springs having tension radial to the
center of the wheel and mounted
between said inner and said outer
felloe.
