TAFT TO SET At REST
BUNCH OF IDLE YARNS
Will Answer Stories About the
Japanese Naval Base.

washington. April 5.-President
Taft's answer to the Lodge resolution
calling fer information as to the re
ported establishment by Japan of a
naval base on Magdslena bay in Mex
icofwill be designed to set at rest the
constant rumors of Japanese colonial
ton in North America and will be a
distinct blow at the bugaboo of war
with Japan.
The presidents answer may be sent
to the senate today. Although it was
denied that Senator Lodge was act.
ing in sympathy with the administra.
ton it was admitted that the presi.
dent will make use of bis resolution
to set at rest recurrent reports of
friction with friendly power.
Chairman Sulzer OF the house for.
eign affairs committee. after a talk
with President Taft. declared the
Lodge resolution was the merest
buncombe" and that Japan had ac-
quired no rights for q naval station
from Mexico.
Huntington Wilson, acting secre-
tary of state, had q short conference
with the president about the reply to
the resolution. lie became known that
the answer will be lacking in sensa-
tional features and at the state de.
partment it was said the response
would tend generally to sdiscredit re-
ports of Japanese designs on Mexican
territory.
THE story that Japan" said Mr..
Sulzer, cor any syndicate acting for
Japan, has acquired rights, directly or
Indirectly, at Magdalena bay, or else
where in Mexico, has no foundation in
fact. speak advisedly. In view Of
our well settled policy the assertion
that Japan has acquired base on the
Pacific coast of Mexico refutes itself
and is too absurd for serious contra
tiiction by Mexico or Japan.
THE Lodge resolution is well under
stood by those on the inside, however
1t will do NO harm and when the an
swer is officially filed the atmosphere
will be cleared and we will hear no
more of Mexico ceding to Japan q
naval base on the Pacific"

cry to take the place OF a 1920
horsepower steam engine. The fif-
teen horsepower motor now does
the work and does il better and
cheaper than the Steam engine, which
at eighty pounds pressure, could de-
yelOp twenty horsepower.
Motor Takes Up Little Space.
The new motor has been placed
just above the steam engine off the
cement floor a few feet, thus being
entirely out of the way and taking
up a minimum of space. 1t has been
connected with the shafting so that
now it turns all the churns, coolers
and other machinery. Not only this,
it also makes a saving in one half
the fuel, and lessons the labor of
handling coal.
Steam Still Used. '
However, some steam is still used
to pasteuriZe the cream and milk and
for heating purposes. The Consum-
ers Power company which gets its
main power from the big dam at
Rapidan has several other contracts
TO put motors in creameries and
other places in the city which will
be completed in few days.
Work on Gas Holder.
A crew of men is at work ham,
mering in the rivets on the bottom
of the large new gas holder at the
gas plant, and expects to finish the
work in about six weeks. This will
be much larger than either Of the
two other holders and built i'm
more modern way.
Beginning next Monday crew of
men will start laying large gas
main from the plant and Front
street on Elm to Fourth street and
then running along Fourth street
TO Lincoln.

SUGAR BtEIs vs.. king
CORN FOR LIVE STOCK
Montana Steer Was Made Fat BY
Feeding On Vegetable.
Especial to rne Free rress.I


Chicago, April with the arrival
at the Chicago stock yards last
week of the largest range-fattened
steer ever received there, another
of the many laurels long worn by
King Corn without successful
rival has been snatched away by the
humble sugar beet. Recently an
investigation conducted in Iowa
showed that the net profit to the
farmer from the growing of beets
was far in excess of the yield Sc
cured from the same land in corn.
Food For the Stock.
Now it appears that the tops and
pulp of tubers are superior to the
great western staple as food fol
livestock for the giant steer that
tipped the stock yard scales at a
higher figure than any previously
recorded there for an animal com
ing direct from the range was fat
tened on the by-products of sugar
beets.
Weight Over $500.
His weight was over $500 pounds
and he came from Montana, from
the near vicinity of one of the beet
sugar factories recently established
in that state. The tops of the beets
and the pulp after the sugar had
been extracted were thrown out to
the steers grazing on the neighbor
ing range and it was on this food
that the latest prize steer waxed
to hitherto unrivalled avoirdupois.
Beef Making Qualities.
Not only was the size of this
Montana steer of accommodating
proportions but on the basis OF
equality he commanded fancy price
AS a result of the discovery OF the
beef-making qualities of beets a
new field of possibilities is opened
up for this industry which bids fair
to expand very rapidly unless the
tariff readjustment at present being
attempted prevents its natural de-
velopment.
