j. S. DEMANDS QUICK
RELEASE OF W. c. NICHOLS
American Fruit Grower Held
UnjustIy IN Filthy, Crowded
Mexican Jail
tBy Associated Press.l

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21.-Ignor1ng
the usual channels of diplomatic inter-
course, the American ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson, has made a peremptory
demand on Gov. Matias Guerra, of the
state Of Tamaulipae, for the immediate
release from the jail at Tampico of W.
C. Nichols, an American fruit grower.
Nichols was arrested six months ago
on a charge of having killed a bandit,
Caballos, whose apprehension the au-
thorities had attempted for many
months.
The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to en-
ploy whatever means he considered
necessary to bring about an anelioration
of Nichols condition. Ambassador Will
son says he will gain his release even
If it is necessary to land marines from
the United States cruiser Des Moines,
now at Tampico.
The American Ambassador regards
the treatment accorded Nichols by the
Mexican authorities as persecution and
has so stated in his message to the gov
ernor. In support of this belief he
points to the fact that a Mexican has
confessed in court to being the slayer
Of Caba1los. This confession was dis
regarded by the court. The Merioan
was not arrested and the, process
NlCnOlS was GOAlAAAEA OA al
appeal from the sentence of eight
years Imprisonment The appeal is be-
ing heard before the court at Ciudad
Victoria, the state capital.
IN FILTHY JAIL.
The Jail in which Nichols is confined
is filthy and overcrowded. Ambassador
Wilson has been treating the matter for
several months diplomatically, but has
accomplished little. In his note TO the
governor the ambassador reminded him
that his message was not official, but
that IL was to be considered none the
less authoritative. He demanded that
Nichols be placed "in surroundings
more sanitary and in keeping with the
usage of civilized countries" pending
proceedings against him, which AM
bassador Wilson suggested be fastened
The killing of Caballos occurred near
Tempico. Nichols had been vested with
authority to arrest the desperado which
he did He was taking him to Tampico
on train when in the confusion at a
crowded station the captive escaped.
Nichols and a big crowd pursued him
Nichols admits firing, but the evidence
showed that he fired in the air. The
body of Caballos was found later sew
eral hundred yards from the spot with
bullet through the heart.
Nichols high character has been tes-
titled to by a petition signed by hum
dred American residents of Tampauli-
pas, which was sent to the embassy be-
ginning intercession.

HUNTER DENIES HE
SHOT SUMMER DUCKS
Ward AIIenI of Savannah
Says Officers Made
Mistake
fspecial pispatch 10 The Journal.)


SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 21.-Mr.
Ward Allen, q well known hunter,
against whom warrants were sworn out
yesterday charging a violation of game
laws when NJ. c. Wescott, deputy state
game warden, and j. A. Waters, county
game warden, found a number Of ducks
which they claim are summer ducks,
returned to the city this morning and
gave bond for his appearance.
Mr.. Allen discussed the case pictur-
esquely and with characteristic vigor,
saying: Returning TO the city this
morning was surprised to learn OF
a lot of 'rumpus made by some con-
stitutional Observation-Disclosures that pass
by the euphoniOus title Of rubber heel
minions of the law
Several days ago I made trip on
the river to see how many blue winged
tear and other early flight migratory
ducks had shown up among the rice
fields and found several varieties-big
blue wing teal, 'widgeon' and spoon
bills, all migratory ducks with no re-
strictions whatever upon them in sea-
son, and the season has been open
since Sept /.
"I found quite a large bunch Of the
latter species (spoon bills) in an olo
abandoned rice field and shot some of a
few blue wing teal; the spoon bills be-
long to the teal family OF ducks, but
are almost twice the size, and doubtless
it was these spoon bills that the
'over-zealous' deputy game warden con-
founded with summer ducks"

MIDWAY At STATE FAIR
WILL Be BEST IN YEARS
Nat ReiSs viii Have Forty
Shows and Many Free
Acts
1snecia1 piapatch to The Journal)

Especial Dispatch TO The Journal
MACON, Ca, Sept. A.-The directors
of the Georgia state fair, determined to
give the MISUNDERSTANDING public the
very best that money could procure in
the way of amusements and to this end
they secured the country for the top
liners OF all amusement resorts at last
they have secured the very best the
United States and Europe could produce.
Nor did they stop at these two coun-
tries for they have secured direct from
Yokahoma, Japan, the great royal troupe
known as Royal Wakahama Japanese
Jugglers and Actors" This troupe has
reputation that has preceded them all
over the continents.
When the state fair directors made a
contract with Nat Reiss to bring his en-
tire aggregation Of forty shows and
riding devices for the midway attrac-
ton, they did the wise thing for Mats
shows wherever played have been found
to be of the choicest and most moral on
the road. He personally conducts the
entire shows from the time that they
start to the close of the last show.
His shows are very refined and the
most fastidious patron can take the
ladies and children in each one. They
are all strictly moral and clean.
FREE ACTS.
The free actr that accompany this
great carnival company are of the high
est class of performers and comprise
such attractions as Mat Gray, the world
record breaker as a high diver; Phil d.
Green, the greatest man of the age on
the spiral hall who goes up an incline
seventy-five feet high mounted on his
huge ball as easy as a man can walk
up hill, and ne comes down as easy as he
goes up, without losing his balance on
it; Maxine, the wonderful renowned dog
that dives from lofty heights as easy
as a man into a tank Of water, and other
surprises of a like character
The fronts of Nat Reiss' shows are
beautiful for they are carved from wood
and all brightly gilded and resemble one
of the big travelling circus. The mid
way will be brilliantly lighted up from
one end to the other and there is no
doubt that this will be a favorite place
for the young and old
Macon will be in holiday attire to re-
ceive her guests when they come to the
state fair for each citizen is trying to
outdo the other in getting ready for the
big crowd expected.

FARM FINANCE SYSTEM
SHOULD Be LIKE EUROPE'S
Ambassador to France Recon-
mendS Sweeping Changes in
American Methods
tBy Associated PreSs.)

PARIS, Sept 2.-sweeping recommen-
dations for legislation designed to help
development of agriculture in the United
States are contained in an elaborate
report forwarded to Washington by the
American ambassador, Myron t. Her
rick, who has completed an exhaustive
Investigation Of the systems of agricul-
tural credit facilities In operation In
Europe The ambassador wrote the doc
ument after receiving reports from 9TH
er American diplomatic representatives In
Europe and comforting with others.
The work OF gathering and compiling
material for the formulation of the plans
of efficient land and agricultural sys-
tenn has been carried on under instruc-
ton from President Taft, and Ambas-
sador Herrick has been assisted by q
commission which reached here from the
United States in July. Edwin Chamber
lain. of San Antonio, one of the COM
mission, who represents the American
Bankers association, will report to that
organization.
COOPERATIVE CREDIT.
The ambassadors report recommends
the adoption by the United States Of the
reiffeissen system of agricultural CO.
operative credit societies. This system
has been particularly successful in Ger
many, where it's operations represent
half the business Of the commercial
banks. 1t includes organizations COM
posed of small cooperative societies,
where farmers are able to borrow mon
ey for a short time on their collective
guarantee. These societies have become
the nucleus OF a series of central CO.
operate banks.
The report also ecommends that pc
sons interested in the welfare of the
farmer should form a general committee
to direct a movement for the loaning Of
money to fa-mers for a long period at
lower rates than they now obtain.
The report urges the president to place
the matter before the people and sug-
gests holding state conventions and then
a national convention, at which a per-
manent committee should be appointed.
TO EDUCATE PUBLIC.
In this way the people would gradually
become educated to realizing the neces-
sit yof adopting uniform state laws au-
thorizing the establishment. of new bank
ing credit institutions whose sole pur-
pose would be to loan money to farmers
under conditions which would permit the
complete wiping out OF the loan through
the payment Of interest over long pc
Rod. This is the essence of the Euro
pean system.
These credit banks should be compile
mentary to the cooperative loan soci-
cites, which the ambassador favors as a
first step in the financial relief of the
farmers. AS In the case of cooperative
societies, these new loan Institutions in
the various states would make establish
ment Of credit banks in large commercial
centetrs necessary.
The central banks could handle the Sc
curities Of the state loan institutions and
sell the in the international market.
Such banks have better prestige If pos
sessed Of a federal charter, and the re-
port recommends the enactment Of legis-
lation to that effect.

WILL EXPERIMENT ON
MONKEYS FOR PELLAGRA

SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept. 2.-Dr. c. H.
Lavinder, of the United States army,
has brought a colony of monkeys to
Savannah for the purpose of studying
pellagra and it's effect upon them.
The colony Of Simians is now very
happily situated in the marine hospital
and they do not seem at all worried over
the fact that they are to be inoculated
with any germ or anything else that may
give them pellagra.
DR.. Lavinder is now in Washington on
business, but as soon, as he returns the
experiment will begin on the monkeys.
DR.. Lavinder and Or. r. M. Grimm. who
are pellagra experts. viii attend pella-
gra conference at Columbia, s. c., next
month, and II is expected that at that
time some OF the results of the Simian
experiments will be reported upon.

dinner given here tonight by members of

Responding to toast the secretary
reviewed the. accomplishments of the
reign just closed. saying that Japan's
grief might be assuaged by a proud
contemplation of the inestimable bless
ings of the Meiji era during which the
empire had extended and been perma-

celled by any other chapter of human

Patches az alfalfa have been raised
here and there throughout the state, but
II has never become a commercial crop
Of any extent or Importance up to this
time This crop has given wonderful re-
suits in the west on irrigated lands and
on soils that are naturally better drained
apparently than ours, and also deeper
and richer. We would not advise you,
therefore, to attempt to lay down a
twenty-acre field of this crop all at once.
1t would be better for you to experiment
with a smaller area and to ascertain the
conditions under which 1t is best likely
to succeed. 1t is quite certain that soils
must be abundantly supplied with lime
for this crop, and we would not think
of putting It down before lining the
soil at the rate of one ton per acre II
caustic lime be used. and not less than
three to Ave tons per acre where the
finely ground lime rock is used. 1t would
also be necessary to enrich the land
with reference to its supply of vegetable
matter. This could be done by seeding
vetch this fall, and following with cow
peas or velvet beans next summer, both
crops to be plowed down. In the autumn
the land should be deeply broken and
thoroughly subsoiled and fine seed bed
prepared. Do this as near to the 18th of
September as possible. and then seed to
alfalfa at the rate of twenty pounds per
acre, using recleaned American grown
seed You should apply at the time Of
seeding the alfalfa not less than 500 to
1000 pounds of a high-grade fertilizer
One containing 8 to 4 per cent Of nitro
gen, 10 to u per cent of phosphoric acid
and to 8 per cent of potash will be
found about right The frequent clip
ping of alfalfa when it Is young is es-
sential, and additional applications of
lime and fertilizer will be found neces-
sary from time to time.
We have seen many beautiful stands of
alfalfa which promised well for the flu
ture, but in a large number of instances
the crop seems TO have died out. Just
what the cause of this might be is an
uncertainty, but the writer is disposed
to think that in many instances the soils
were not sufficiently well drained and
ventilated to meet the needs OF this crop.
1t is a wonderful crop, however, produc-
ing a hay almost as rich, according to
chemical analysis, as wheat bran, and
yielding several tons per acre under ia
! Vorable conditions.

SOME REASONS WHY HOG BREED
ING SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

stands next to the Berkshire in popu-
larity but IL lies between the Poland
China and Duroc-Jersey. In some local
titles the Duroc-Jersey is the favOrite,
and in others the Poland-China. While
the Poland-China is an excellent breed
for corn belt conditions, IL is not quiGe
so well adapted to the south as some
others on account of it's greater ten
dency TO lay on flesh, and the hogs
adapted 20 this section must be rela-
lively speaying, good grazers and have
a considerable degree Of activity. While
the Duroc-Jersey would not be classed
as a breed showing excellence for
grazing purposes, they are fairly well
adapted for this purpose and are popu-
lar where known on account OF their
prolificacy. Both of these breeds cross
very well with native animals and this
has helped to win them favorable con-
sideration at the hands OF breeders.
Essex hogs are bred TO some extent
but could not be regarded as great IA
vorites. Their smallness and COM
pactness probably recommend them to
some. but to the average breeder they
would not appeal. and so far as the
writer can learn, they are decreasing
rather than increasing in popularity.
The Tamworth is a comparatively
new breed in the south. its introduce
ton having some within recent years.
IL Is now known in many localities, and
seems TO be increasing in favor, espe-
cially in those sections where more
and more effort is being made to pro-
duce pork under grazing conditions.
The breed has been developed to a large
extent with this end in view. II is
hardy. prolific. takes kindly to climatic
conditions prevailing in the south, and
because of its rustling qualities is like
~ TO prove a favorite wherever IL be-
comes well established. 1t appears
that the Berkshire and Tamworth are
likely to be the two breeds most gem
orally utilized in the campaign now in
progress for the development of a hog
industry capable not only OF supplying
home markets with an abundance of
choice hams and bacon, but affording a
surplus Tor export to other sections not
so favorably situated for the produc-
ton OF pork in a cheap and efficient
manner as the southern states offer at
the present time.
