ADVISES NEW CONSTITUTION.
State Document Declared Inadequate
to Present Day Needs.

st. Louis.-Prof. Isidor Loeb, dean
of the Missouri university law school,
advised the adoption of a new state
constitution in a speech at the City
club.
He declared the constitution is
shown to be totally inadequate for
present day needs by the fact that
sixty-three amendments have been
proposed and that innumerable clubs
and organizations have advocated a
constitutional revision for various
reasons.
He recommended a public utilities
commission to replace the present rail-
road and warehouse commission, as
well as to deal with other similar
problems which were not contemplate
ed when the constitution of 1875 was
made.
A tax commission, home rule for
| cities, prompt administration of JUS
tice, voting machines, the short ball
lot and civil service reform were some
Of the principal needs of the state
which, he said, were impossible to OBJ
tain under the present wording of the
constitution. He thought all the large
cities should have the right to govern
themselves as they saw fit, unless spe-
cial provision is made in the statutes
which will restrict them in certain in
stances.

POLITICIANS ARE BLAMED

Had They Done Their Duty, McNa'

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 19.-"Politi-
clans standing between labor unions
and the courts" were blamed for the
Mcnamara dynamite plots at the out
set of the governments argument to
the jury at the trial of the 40 accused
bomb plotters."
Pronouncing the series of explosions
scattered over the country as a con-
spiracy more dastardly and more
threatening to society than the crime
of an individual" James w. Noel, spe-
cial assistant district attorney, told
the Jurors they were called on to re-
turn verdicts in the most important
trial in recent years.
Organized crime has here appeared
to an amazing degree" said Noel,
and it was carried on and it grew be-
cause locally the arm Of the law
failed. Had local authorizes done their
duty this conspiracy could not have
spread, but it appears that politicians,
for obvious reasons, stood between Ia
Dor unions and criminals and the To-
cal courts.
"a strike of the iron workers was
called. Plain assaults became mur,
derous assaults. Then, unchecked by
the local courts and favored by politi'
clans, the criminals grew holder and
fought with dynamite and nitroglyce
rim.

WOULD REVISE LAND LAWS
TAFT'E MESSAGE APPEALS FOR
CONSERVATION.
Also Asks for Pure Food Law Appeals
Court-Declares Trust Problem
Is Being Solved.

Washington, D. C.-Presldent
Taft submitted to congress the idea
he advanced at a recent banquet of
the Lotus club in New York-that
cabinet officers be given places in
congress. The recommendation was
included in the presidents third mes
sage to the national legislature this
session, dealing with affairs in the in
terror, agriculture, ~postoffice and COM
merce and labor departments. In it
he also strongly outlined his stand on
the trust question.
"A commission which looks to the
fixing of prices is altogether imprac-
tical and ought not for a moment to
be considered as a possible solution of
the trust question:" he asserted.
1.-THE trust question in the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law is
gradually solving itself; is maintain
Ing the principle and restoring the
practice of competition, and if the law
is quietly but firmly enforced, bust
ness will adjust itself to the statutory
requirement and the unrest in COM
mercial circles, provoked by the trust
discussion, will disappear"
Other recommendations to congress
urged by the president were for a
special court to hear appeals in the
enforcement of the pure food law;
that land laws be completely revived
to bring about proper conservation
and yet permit development; that pay
to railroads for carrying the mail be
readjusted; for a public utilities com
mission in the District Of Columbia.

erection of buildings and installing OF

The presidents plan for seating cab
met members in congress apparently
is modelled after the system now in
vogue in the British parliament. The
executive plans for them to take par
in the debate and "to answer ques
tons of which they have had due no
tice."

authorities.
1t is now in possession of United
States Assistant District Attorney
Lindabury at Newark, who declined to

The receipt of the second threat

having sent Gov. Wilson, November

The hearing was not completed, but
United States Commissioner Stockton
dismissed the case against Warren
Dunn and took under advisement a
motion to make a similar ruling In

Trenton, N. Whether William J.
Bryan or any Of the other prominent
Democrats being mentioned by politi-
clans generally for places in the cabi-
net of P~resident-elect Wilson will be
appointed to portfolios probably will
not be definitely known until a few
days before Inauguration day. Gov.
Wilson said that very likely he would
not make a single announcement or
Importance until about March first.
Before New Years he expects to
see Mr.. Bryan, Speaker Clark, Repre-
sentative Underwood, Senators O'Gor-
man, Hoke Smith, Gore and other
prominent Democratic leaders; but he
indicated that he meant to keep strict
silence about appointments until
ready to make a general statement on
the subject.
Scattering announcements would be
foolish" he said, "even if l had them
to make. I'll wait until pretty late.
The time will depend somewhat on
the number of written communica-
tions received. All these letters rec.
ommending individuals for office are
being grouped and will be taken up
separately"
Mr.. Wilson indicated that he would
not feel at liberty to make final de-

candidates had been set forth to him.
What l am sincerely trying to do"
he added, sis to see the field Of choice
and to try to get as many opinions
as possible that are worth while"
The pr~esident-elect likewise made
it clear that, though gossip may be
heard far and wide, he would maintain
a policy of silence, and nothing would
be definitely established until he
made the announcement over his
own signature.
Mr.. Wilson was asked if he be.

attorney generalship noted lawyers
often had been reluctant to leave theil

friends.

NEWSg MISSOURI
APPLES GET FAN TREATMENT.
Saves $4,000 In Season by Adopting
Air Circulation as Refrigeration.


Fulton.-Secretary Ashleigh P. Boles
of the state board Of horticulture, says
successful orchard men are cutting
Down their cold storage bills on their
apple crop by using ventilated stor.
age.
He says one man saved $4,000 on
storage in one year. w. T. Flournoy
of Marionville, he says, is having great
success in storing the fruit at his
home.
He built a cold storage plant on his
farm several years ago and used the
ammonia system of cold storage. This
method is expensive, and he tried to
find a method to cut out this expense.
He decided to try storage without
artificial refrigeration by forcing the
cold night air through the apples
when the outside temperature was
lower than that in the storage room.
He cut a hole just above the floor
line in the wall of the storage
and put in a suction fan. This fan
draws the stale air out of the o
and cold, fresh air pours in through
openings on. the north side of the
building.
AS the house was built for a cold
storage plant the walls and floors are
well insulated. When the doors and
vent holes are closed the temperature
is held at a low point for a consider
able length of time before it begins to
rise.
A false floor is built from six to
eight inches above the concrete floor,
and the fruit is stored in bins built
upon this false floor.
The fruit is piled from three to
four feet high and Flournoy says that
he gets a good circulation of the cold
air to all parts of the bin.
The efficiency Of the system was
put to a test by storing a bin of Gull
apples. After two months of storage
these culls looked to be in almost as
good condition as when they were put
in.
