mas been suffering from a nervous in
digestion and IN an interview with the
Associated Press yesterday, Mr.. Haw-
icy said the reports of his condition
were greatly exaggerated" He said
this in answer to a question from a
reporter who asked him If he had
heard the report that he was dying.
HaWIey's answer was like the answer
given by Mark Twain when he was in
tervleWed before his death.
Edwin Hawley was only 81 years
ola at the time OF his death. He was
born in Chatham. New York, in 1850.
Mr.. Hawley was connected with va
rious railway systems over the United
states. He was president of the Min
neapol1s & St Louis railway. President
of the Iowa Central President of the
Iowa Central 6 Western road. He
was president also of the Des Moines
& Fort Dodge railroad and the Great
western Power company.
Mr.. Hawley was a director of the
Colorado & Southern railway; the
Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek
road; the Toledo, st. Louis & Western
railway; the Western Pacific railway;
the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry
Dock company; the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company; the American Ex-

with seed wheat. is feeling differently
about the matter today. His section of
the state got all the seed wheat it need
ed without a special session. Sheridan
county, according to Mr.. Schlicher, has
1916, 600 acres planted to wheat. many
thousands more than the average area,
and expects to raise two million bush
els this year. The wheat is in fine
shape, the heavy fall of snow doing a
world of good.
There is six inches of snow now lying
on the ground in Sheridan county. The
Union Pacific railway helped in the
seed wheat business and so did many
people. Some of the farmers had to
leave the county but those who re-
manned expect double returns on every
thing this year. Mr.. Schlicher called
at the governors office today and he
is an optimist from the headwaters Of
South Fork river.

Publicity Through State Jour-
nal Aroused Dairymen.
Customers Demanded Cleaner
Milk and They Got 1t.
GOOD REPORT FOR JANUARY
Very Little Sediment Is Found
in Tests by DR.. Babb.
City Milk Inspector Makes
Statement of Conditions.

The milk dealers and dairymen in
Topeka and vicinity have adopted a
general 'tclean-up' in their methods
of dealing out milk to the patrons in
this city This has been due to the
publicity given the condition of their
milk through the office of DR.. G. F.
Babb, city milk inspector, in the State
journal the first of every month.
The first report given out a few
months ago caused CONSERVATION in
the ranks Of the dairymen. They COM
planned that the state Journal in max
ing public the rating of their milk had
lost them scores of customers One
dairyman alone lost nearly one hun
bred patrons because of an unfavCr-
able report given of his milk through
the columns of the State Journal.
Today DR.. Babb gives out the re-
port for January. It is the best re-
port since the plan was started a few
months ago. Dr. Babb is not back
ward in declaring that it is through
the publicity given the diaries that the
milk has improved.
The public has demanded better
milk and the dairymen and dealers
know that unless they keep their milk
in good condition it will be made pub
lie through the State Journal and their
customers will seek other dealers.
DR.. Babb has done wonderful work
IN cleaning up. The diaries are as
clean as can be found in the country.
DR.. Babb's Report.
DR.. Babb's report for the first month
in 1912 follows:
1T is with considerable satisfaction
that the following report for the month
of January, 1912, is offered to the pub
lie by the city milk and dairy inspec-
tor of Topeka The satisfaction arises
from a comparison with previous re-
ports with regard to the item of clean
illness. It is believed that the general
Improvement shown in this respect IN
the samples taken this month. Is due
in very large measure to the publicity
given through these reports.
MANY dairymen have complained to
me that they have lost customers be-
cause of unfavorable rating, but the
only answer that could be given was
sclaen up, and they have evidently
done so. It is only when the public
becomes Interested and demands clean
milk that the best results can be Sc
cured.
"a slight change in the classification
for cleanliness has been made so that
now there will be recognized three
sgrades: l. clean; 2. slight sediment;
g. dirty. There should be none in class
and there will be none if the public

the Severest Ever Felt in
That Territory.

Valdez, Alaska, Feb. IA violent
earthquake shock was felt here at
1912 Wednesday, continuing so sec
onds. The movement was from north
east to southwest, with an oscillation
of six degrees The earthquake was
the severest ever experienced here.
Three more shocks were felt at in
tervals of about an hour. The second
shock was of ten seconds duration,
and was strong, although not as vio-
lent as the first one. The others were
light.
The tremor was of sufficient vio-
lence to shake goods off the shelves
in the stores and to stop clocks in all
parts of the town.
Caused Buildings to Rock.
Cordova, Alaska, Feb. -Four
shocks were felt at Cordova, the first
and most severe coming at 1872
o'clock in the morning. Three lighter
shocks followed at intervals of about
an hour.
The first shock lasted ten seconds
and caused buildings to sway alarm
ingly. Everyone rushed into the street
for safety, but no damage was done.
A wireless message from St. Paul
island says all are we'll on the Priby-
loft islands. Two weeks ago com
munication with the island was lost
and it was feared severe earth
quake was responsible, but the mes
sage said a severe gale wrecked the
aerial at that time.
Quake Caught at Lawrence.
Lawrence, Kan. Feb. IA violent
earthquake shock supposed to have it's
center in the northern part of South
America, was recorded on the seis-
mograph at the University of Kansas
Wednesday afternoon. The disturb
ance lasted one hour.
The preliminary tremors began at
2:19:3O O'Clock and lasted thirteen
minutes. The most violent part of the
disturbance lasted five and one-halt
minutes. The motion was stronger IN
the north and south than in the east
and west University officials esti-
mated the scene of the shock as being

FIGHT ON WILSON.


Tactics of this kind which were sue
cessful with Blaine in 1875 and 1880
are now being directed with great
ability against the candidacy of Gov
ernor Wilson In this city there is
today much doubt whether the Har-
vey incident, followed, as it was, by
Colonel Watterson's explanation, is
likely seriously to affect Governor
Wilson'S candidacy for the nomination
The adroit utilization of the name of
Thomas F. Ryan, whose contribution
to the Wilson campaign fund, which
was tentatively offered by Colonel
Watterson, was spurned, will, it is
thought, greatly strengthen Governor
Wilson's candidacy in many parts of
the country, for the people will be
easily persuaded that If Governor Will
sons managers were suspicious lest
Colonel Harvey'S earlier relations with
Thomas F. Ryan might caught great
embarrassment to the Wilson presi-
Dental nomination campaign. then
Governor Wilson would do nothing
else than say to Colonel Harvey that
the support given to him by Harper's
Weekly, of which Colonel Harvey is
the editor, was an embarrassment.
Three Attacks to Come.
As soon as this attack upon Governor
Wilson has spent its force at least
three others are to follow, not in one
bros disde, but in sequence. There are
irtimations that either letters or YER
bal communications or something in
easily construed into a sentiment of
suspicion or Of dislike respecting the
alleged influence which the Roman
Catholics of the United States are gain
ing in politics and in the administration
OF public affairs. There are at present
no details obtainable respecting thus
contemplated attack upon Governor
Wilson.
If this attack be made, plenty of time
viii be given for the full effect Of it to
be felt upon that portion of the Amerl-
can people which is of the Roman Cath
ole faith. Then. when this assault has
had its day, a second one is to be made.
presumably the choice between the two
remaining ones being the disclosure of
the relations which the late Grover
Cleveland had with Governor Wilson
whsn Wilson was president of Prince
ton and Cleveland was trustee of the
institution.
Mr. Cleveland always felt that he
was in some measure responsible for
the election of Professor Wilson, as he
then was. to the presidency of Prince
ton. Not until after Mr. Cleveland and
President Wilson were brought into
close official relations at Princeton did
friction begin There is no doubt that
serious friction characterized their re-
lations as-long as Mr. Cleveland lived.
