The most important consideration
IL the breed to be kept. 1t all depends
upon the market which will pay the
best. The layers are seldom as good
for raising, frying and broiling al
some Of the larger breeds, as they
usually weigh less at the same age,
though maturing even more quickly In
the matter Of reproducing.
SO. II you wish to keep Wyan-

fectly safe in doing so, no matter
what some one else may say In favor
Of other breeds.

CLERICAL LEADER
 HEADS REICHSTAG
Socialist Elected First Vice President, Defeating Conservative
 Candidate

Berlin, February 9.-Dr. Peter s. Kahn, leader of the cleric center party, was to- day elected president of the reichstag. defea ting August Bebe of the socialist party.
 Philip Schlemann, socialist, was elect ed first vice president of the house, de- feating the conservative candidate, Her mann Christian Dietrich, by 1SS votes to 174.
 Dr. Hermann S. Paasche, the national liberal leader, was chosen second vice president of the reichstag.
 The result of the election of officers of the reichstag shows that the old con- servative alliance with the center is still in operation. It lacks only three votes in order to obtain a majority in full house. The opponents in the alliance composed of the progressive parties are una ble to muster thelr full strength. as a number of national liberals are prov ing unreliable when called upon to choose between a socialist and an anti-socialist
 Efforts to settle upon a generally ap- proved list of presiding officers failed, owing to the refusal of the conservatives and centerists to enter into a combina- ton with the socialists while the national liberals declined to combine with either side.
 Prince Heinrich Zu Schoenaich. the na- tional liberal candidate, was forced out of the contest. for office in the prelim- mary ballot and 24 of his supporters hand ed in blank voting papers or cast their votes for Dr. Span in the final ballot, thus insuring the latter's election.

THE BATH TUB SUIT
 REOPENS TUESDAY
What Acts Constitute a Conspiracy Occupies
 Court

Detroit, February 9.-The question or jurisdiction and what acts constitute a conspiracy featured today's session of suit against the so-called bath tub trust. The case was adjourned tonight until Tuesday morning, when 1t is ex- pected Judge Angel will give definite ruling on the matter.
 It is thecontention of the defense
 that any acts of the defendants toward
 the establishment of the alleged license agreement and resale prices that were not agreed upon unanimously by all of the defendants, do not constitute
 conspiracy. The government argues
 that although the final agreement,
 which it charges was conspiracy in
 restraint of trade, was not signed by
 all of the defendants until May 6, 1910, in New York, the conspiracy was in the process of formation for several months when meetings of several or the defendants were held in Mount Clemens, Mich, Chicago and other cities To substantiate its argument, the government has offered as evidence all legged agreements drawn up at these meetings and signed by different mem bers of the defense. The defendants, however, maintain that prior to the meeting, May 6, none of the so-called agreements was agreed upon by all of
 the manufacturers and was never ef- fective, hence no alleged conspiracy had
 taken place unless it was formed, as
 cha ged by the prosecution, at the meeting, May 6, in New York. There
 fore, 1t argues, the case Is not in the
 jurisdiction of the Michigan court. Edward |. Wayman was on the wit ness stand all of today

TEST CASE OF THE
 HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Anderson Must Serve All His Sen tence Before Being Released,
 Says Judge

Atlanta, February 9.-Despite the fact that his partner in crime secured his freedom by the habeas corpus route, Charles Anderson, convicted of robbing a postoffice at Salwood, Ore. in 1907. must serve his full sentence, This was the ruling of Federal Judge W. T. Newman today in the case brought by the govern ment in behalf of Anderson to test the habeas corpus writ, as construed in va rious federal districts.
 Anderson together with Frank Wayne, was convicted on three counts and given a sentence of seven years. After serv- ing three years on the burglary count, Wayne sought out writ of habeas cor that all the counts were covered in the burglary charge. He secured his free dom in federal district court in the state of Washington.
 The Attorney General was not satisfied with the decision and decided to test it in the case of Anderson, who had been transferred to the federal prison at At lanta. The case which has been in prog ress several months. was brought to a close today. In his decision Judge New man holds that the authorities cited which purported 10 sustain the Wayne release in the Washington court are really against it. fIie holds that each district court Is complete and separate and not bound by the decision of an- other district court.

 NEPHEW RELEASED
 FROM WORKHOUSE

New York, February 9.-Released to- day from the workhouse, where she had been sent month ago on charge of disorderly conduct, Mrs. Adel1ne Crandell, wife of Frederick H. Gran dell, castoff nephew of the late Edwin Hawley, had been unable tonight to find her husband. who comes in to a $2,000.000 share of the estate through the failure of his uncle to make will.
 In his unexplained absence there fore, she sought a lawyer to secure protection for her interest in her hus- bands inheritance, and that of their five children, now In Chatham, N. Y.

BEGIN TO FORTIFY
 THE PANAMA CANAL
War Department Issues Orders to
 Begin Work on Flamenco Fortress

Washington, February 9.-Work on the great fortress of Flamenco island, which will guard the Pacific entrance to the Panama canal is to begin at once, under orders issued by the war department to- day. This island lies directly in front of the canal entrance and as the nearest lock- the injury or destruction of which would prevent the operation of the canal, lies eight miles inland, the Flamenco island defenses will insure safety for the great waterway on that side as no hostile ship could get within striking distance of the lock without fatal exposure to the guns of the fort.
 The defenses will be of the most mod ern type, comprising IA inch guns and the heaviest type of seacoast mortars in pits.
 Within short time the engineers will be ready 10 begin the work of construct ing similar defenses on the Atlantic side of the island. Owing to the low and marshy character of the ground, however, the difficulties will be much greater than on the Pacific side

CHURCHILL SPEAKS
 ON BRITISH NAVY
Will Be Prepared to Meet All Eventu- alities-German Navy
 Luxury

Glasgow, Scotland, February 9.-Speak- ing here today, Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, declared in positive terms that the British navy is prepared to meet all eventualities. In referring to Germany he declared that while navy prowess was necessary to England it was a luxury for Germany.
 Referring to the prospect of naval in- creases in the two countries, MT. Churchill said there was no need for ex- citement or panic. Great Britain had the situation we'll in hand and there was no chance whatever of her being overtaken in naval strength. Whatever happened abroad there would be no whining in the British isles, no signals of distress woul be hoisted and there would be no cries for help. All the money, all the ships and all the men that were necessary could be supplied by Great Britain.
 Mir Churchill said he would welcome a retardation of naval construction. but if there was to be an increase of naval strength on the continent 1t would only result in foreign powers being further outdstanced by the measures which the British government was ready to take, which would enable Great Britain to pllr- sue her path through the world not seek ing a quarrel and fearing none.

WILSON TALKS ID
 KENTUCKY S0L0NS
Governor Gives What He Terms Straight Demo-
 cratic Talk"

Frankfort. Ky, February 9.-Woodrov Wilson expanded his views of democracy to the Kentucky legislature late this aft ernoon, giving what he termed . straight democratic talk'' He gave his definition of insurgency" said represen' tative rule was a system of trusteeship and gave his ideas of the remedy for al legged Irregularities of "bg business"
 Tonight he spoke at a banquet given by the Woodrow Wilson league of Ken lucky at local hotel.
 Early in his speech before the legsla- ture MT. Wilson brought out his idea of "a system of trusteeship," which he said grew out of the power wielded by the big interests, ''by the men who could not see farther than across the directors table"
 Charging representative officeholdera were guided by these men he said the government virtually resolved itself into trusteeship.
 These men consider themselves guar dians of the country" he said. "They do not believe the judgment of the people is sound. hence the guardianship At times it is necessary in furthering these interests to prompt artificial prosperity or it's reverse. We should not be afraid of threats of the reverse but combat them with facts gained only by as sensitive q knowledge of business as these men have themselves. Privilege has captured busi- ness in this country. No business is free and the whole situation shows an artifi- cial advantage. Business men are afraid to talk and this tremor clutching business Is proof of the grip of private fear of it.
 "Our laws of 20 years ago do not fit conditions as they are today. We stand in the presence of a new order of things Formerly the people were against a change but now they know 1t Is neces- sary.''
 MT. Wilson said he woudl not attempt to revolutionize the entire business fabric at one upheaval but would try to "clear the channel" give big business interests a chance to readjust themselves on the theory that "big business with privilege is bad but big business properly operated is good.''
 Mir Wilson barely touched upon the tariff and that was when defining ''insur- gents.' He said 1t was very difficult to see the difference between their position and ours except on the question of pro tective tariff. "They have swung around and around until their principles are ours with the exception of the tariff, and l have come to believe they would consider themselves impious If they go away from the idea
 MT. Wilson arrived here this morning and was in conference with Kentucky democrats of prominent a great part or tile day.

INSANITY PLEA IN
 THE SNEAD TRIAL
Will Contend That Snead Was Men
 tally Irresponsible When He Shot BOyce

Fort Worth, Tex. February s.-That the defense will contend that John Beal Sread, Amarillo, Tex, banker, was men, tally irresponsible when he shot A. G. Boyce, Sr., to death, developed today in the trial of Snead, who is charged with having murdered Boyce. The elope- ment of his wife and A. G. Boyce, Jr., rendered tile man insance, counsel for Snead argued, in an effort to have read to the jury letter written by Snead to W. H. Fuqua of Amarillo, after the departure of Mrs. Snead and the younger Boyce from Fort Worth.
 Attorneys for the prosecution vigorous ly opposed the reading of the letter. but later. when 1t was explained that the letter was intended as the groundwork of an effort to prove Snead insane, the objection was withdrawn. The letter told of Sneads love for his wife, of his hu- and of the effect of their moth CTS action on the future of their chill dren.
 Several witnesses testified this after noon that the slain man had made re- marks derogatory to Mir. Snead.
