Fleet Complete October II.

Many Of the warships will remain longer
In New York Harbor than last year.
While Secretary Meyer denied the request
that the fleet remain until October 2i,
Admiral Osterhaus notified members Of
the Mayors committee that. as many or
tse ships would complete their summer
programmes earlier than the time set for
mobilization he expected TO arrive with
sixteen battleships on october 8. The re-
serve fleet, including eleven more battle
ships and four armored cruisers, will ar
rive on October 10 and the destroyers the
following day, by which time the assem-
blage will be complete.
When the fleet is in readiness for re-
view. on October IL, there will be on board
about 1000 commissioned officers. 800
warrant officers and $1,000 enlisted men.
With Secretary Meyer on board the yacht
Dolphin for the review will be members
Of the Senate and House committees on
Naval Affairs. diplomats and other dis
tingushed guests.
After Secretary Meyer has received
Rear Admiral Osterhaus. the commander
in chief. and the division commanders on
the Dolphin. he will set out in a launch
10 pay visits to the iagshps. As he leaves
her side the Dolphin will fire salute OF
nineteen guns, and. this salute will be re-
peated as his launch comes TO the flag
ship OF each division.

return to the Dolphin, and members OF
the Senate and House Naval committees

will be honored with salute OF seventeen
guns. Every ship Mr. Meyer visits Will

field. white anchor and four stars.

LAWRENCE SOLDIERS AND POLICE CALLED MORE
BRUTAL THAN RUSSIAN COSSACKS

=
Washington, March 4.-The
chambers of the house rules COM
mittee were crowded to overflow
ing when Samuel Lipson, striker,
resumed the stand today to tell
of the clubbing and bayonetting
of men and women and little chill
dren at Lawrence.
Fashionabiy dressed women,
sparkling with gems, well-dress-
ed weIl-fed looking congressman,
formed a strange contrast to the
little group of pinched, hungry
looking strikers in the center of
the room.
So apparent was the nervous
tension in the room, that Chair
man Henry of the committee,
warned the audience against
making any outbreak.
There was some unseemly be-
havior here Saturday" he said,
referring to the clash between
Victor Berger and Robert Nc
Cartney, of the Lawrence citi-
zens' committee. "At the first
instance of anything of the kind
today the committee will have
the room cleared and the guilty
ones punished"
Then letter from Governor
Foss, of Massachusetts,, was read.
1t was signed by Foss' secretary.
1t said that reports of conditions
at Lawrence chad been exagger-
ated.' 1t defended the police and
militia for preventing the sending
of children from Lawrence.

EDO you know of many in

II was in Russia during the
revolution" said Lipson, "and I
never saw Russian Cossacks, the
widest soldiers in the world be-
have toward women and children
as the soldiers in Lawrence did
"I know that little children,
whenever they have been met by
soldiers in the street, have been.
pushed about and struck with
clubs and the butt ends of guns.
Never IN Russia were little seven
year-old boys and girls struck by
soldiers.
"I know of a little boy who
was held down on the floor by a
soldier who had his knee on the
boys chest. The boy could not
get up because the knee was
stronger than he. There are. 400
Russian peasants in Lawrence,

With this amount, however, diar-

Little Significance was attached to

twice as many eggs were obtained
from the salt-fed hens as from the
others SO there was no indication OF

Searching Inquiry by the Con-
gressiOnaI Committee.
]. BRUCE IsMAY ON GRILL
Managing o rector Of International
Marine and a Dozen OF ers
Are Held BY Congregational

New York.-The seriousness of the
inquiry by the Senate investigating
committee into the Titanic disaster
was disclosed when Senator Smith, OF
Michigan, the chairman, at first fatty
refused to let any of the officers or
the 200 odd members of the crew of
the sunken steamship get beyond the
Jurisdiction of the United States gov
eminent. The men were all to have
sailed Saturday on the steamer Lap
land. Later it was settled that the
greater part of the crew would be per-
mited to sail on this steamer, but that
the twelve men and four officers
among the survivors now under sub
poena, together with Mr.. Ismay, would
not be allowed to depart.
The first days testimony brought
to the front the apparent conclusion
that the biggest ship which was ever
built, "a lifeboat in ITSELF" according
to the views of modern shipbuilders,
sank in midocean with more than ], 800
human beings because she was being
rushed across the ocean almost, at top
speed and crashed into field of ice
bergs after warnings had been given
to look out.
That SO few were saved from watery
graves was because there were not
enough lifeboats on board to accom-
modate the passengers. There were
only 20 lifeboats because the Titanic
was believed to be unsuitable. This
state of affairs appeared after the
committee had examined ]. Bruce Is
may, managing director of the White
Star Line; Arthur Henry Rostrom,
captain of the rescue ship Carpathia,
and Second officer Lightholder, of the
Titanic, who went down with the ship,
but later was rescued.
It was explained to the committee
at a conference over the question of
holding the crew that Mr.. Ismay was
very anxious to leave at once for Eu-
rope, as he had been worn out by his
experiences and felt the need of re
turning quickly to his English home
for a rest. His pleas, however, were
unavailing.
Because they made public informa-
tion the company wanted kept secret,
the survivors of the crew of the I'll
tanic were transferred to the Red Star
liner Laplander and kept under cover.
Director Ismay ordered Vice-President
Franklin to segergate the men soon as
they arrived.
Even after all that has now been
told Of the disaster, the death list is
only approximate. Exactly how many
died will never be known It has been
established officially, however, that
the Titanic was travelling 81 knots an
hour when she struck the berg.
Notwithstanding this, however, none
of the survivors from steerage to
saloon has as yet condemned Captain
Smith, who went down with his ship.

Before either Of the above are
used, however, the farmer should
study their peculiar characteristics
and use the one best suited to his
purpose. Violent poison should not
be used unless the user of the dis
infectant is familiar with it and its
results.
In the practical work of disinfec-
tor there are three essentials:
l. A preparation of the building
that will facilitate reaching organisms
OF disease.
2. A disinfectan which upon con-
tact can be depended upon to destroy
such organisms.
! 8. A method of applying the dis
infectant that will assure the most
thorough contact with the bacteria.

Care Of the Brooder.

day, changing the material used in

wash the brooder choose warm. sun

fore returning them at night. If these
conditions cannot be complied with a
temporary brooder may be used for the
day by means of box and one or
two jugs of hot water well wrapped
in flannel, the latter serving the double
purpose of holding in the heat and
preventing chick being crowded up
and burnt.

1t has been found that the average
stockman and farmer does not real.
ize the Importance of thoroughly dis
injecting his premises following an
outbreak OF contagious disease. There
is apparently a widespread lack OF
information regarding the germicidai
power OF various substances, COM
monty termed disinfectants. There is
also lack OF knowledge concerning
practical and economical methods OF
proceeding with the work Of disinfec-
ton. Moreover, the temperance OF
contagious disease on premises from
which it was believed to have been
eradicated may frequently be traced
to careless or imperfect work in con-
nection with the cleaning and disin-
lection OF the place.
1t Is but natural to acknowledge the
presence Of only such objects as can
be sean with the unaided eye. Sci
ence, however, by means OF the high
power microscope, has clearly proved
the existence OF numerous minute AMI
NAL and vegetable organisms-and 1t
is a matter of common knowledge
that many of these organisms fire.
quently find their way into the AMI
NAL body and produce disease. 1t is
also well known that these germs
vary in form and other characteristics
and that for each disease of an in
fictitious nature there Is specific
germ
II these germs could be confined to
the animal body and die with it there
would be no such thing as an infec-
tious disease. Unfortunately, how
ever. they are thrown off by the ami
NAL through the excretions and lie in
the earth, in the litter Of stables, up
on the floor and walls, and in cracks
and crevices. Here they may remain
and maintain their virulence for an
indefinite period, ready at any time to
be gathered up by an animal in its
feed or TO be blown about in dust and
drawn into the lungs.
The work, of disinfection is based
upon our recognition Of the presence
of disease germs, and disinfection
means the act OF destroying the
cause of the infection. In other words,
disinfection is a removal Of the cause,
and 1t will be clear to any practical
man that In 4dealing with disease any
effort which stops short OF COM

INCREASING THE
YIELD OF GRASS

(By r. B. RUsEIING.)

Farmers who content themselves
with two tons or less cannot under
stand how yields Of three or four tons
even more are obtained. There are,
however, four chief essentials; a
smooth surface, with even, steady
grade, thorough preparation of the
soil, and abundance Of good, healthy
seed and plenty Of fertility and to
which might be added the proper
amount of moisture.
Where land is stumpy or rocky. it
may be considerable expense to re-
move them, but to obtain the greatest
amount of grass 1t must be done. The
rocks must either be sunk or hauled
away and the surface smoothed so as
to give a gentle grade. A little de-
preston where the water can stand
may cause a patch of grahss to die.
out and few patches will kill
hundred pounds of hay.
After this thorough grading the
land is thoroughly fitted. This does
not mean just plowed and narrowed

over with the cut-away and the.
smoothing harrow many times. not
all at once, but continued through
July and August. IN this way, when
ready to seed the soil is certainly as
fine as an ash heap.
The seed then should be put on
carefully and accurately, SO as to have
every square inch Of surface covered,
thus having two blades of grass where
one formerly was.
The question frequently asked is:
Why is this large amount Of potash
necessary? No one who has ever
used fertilizers on grass need be told
that nitrogen gives the grass rich,
green color and makes it grow very,
rapidly.
