JOYNER HAD TRIED
TO SHOOT GOODMAN
Father of Murdered Indian
apolis Girl Tells of the
Mexican's Actions.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, April 2S.-Armed
with loaded revolver and steeled by
hatred and a resolve to take the law
in his own hand, Isaac Joyner, father
of Miss Nellie Joyner, who was MUIR
dered Saturday night in Northeast
street by Carlos Goozman, the Mexi-
can dental student, sought for months
for the opportunity to take the life of
the dusky lover of his daughter. Mr..
Joyner told today of his determination
months ago to end the life of the Mexi-
can.
j Il grew tired of having my wife and
daughter bothered by this fiend," he
said, land decided that the only way
to get rid of the man was to kill him.
While l was at home the family was
not bothered. l bought a revolver sew
eral months ago and always carried
it with me in the hope | would meet
the Mexican. l was particularly anx-
ious to catch him about the house with
his flashlight which he would sneak
along the alley with and flash into
the dining room and kitchen windows.
Had l met him my daughter would not
now be dead and my wife wounded"
The two bullets have been extracted
from Mrs. Joyners body and her condi-
ton was somewhat improved today.
Charles GooZman, Mexican, a for
t~Jo h
operator, shot and killed Miss Nellie
Joyner, twenty-five years old, shot and
wounded her mother, Mrs. Sarah JOY
ner, and after being arrested and pIac-
ed in the Jail took poison, ending his
own life. Goozman, who had boarded
at the Joyner home, told the police
he was in love with the girl and that
she had repulsed him, refusing to
meet him.
GooZman Saturday night waited
across the street from the Joyner
home and when the girl started across
the street he opened fire upon her
with an automatic pistol. Mrs. Joyner
ran to the rescue of her daughter and
was herself shot down by the Mexican.
When pedestrians reached Miss JOY
ner she was alive, but died within a
few minutes. Goozman was overpow-
cred and taken to the city Jail, where
three hours later he took poison, dy-
ing in short time.
Goozman, whose home is in Bartoto,
Mexico, once lured Miss Joyner to a
room and there threatened to kill her
if she did not marry him. She escaped
by crawling through a window and
caused the Mexiean's arrest. Since
then he had been living in boarding
house across the street from the JOY
ner family and, according to friends
had annoyed Miss Joyner almost con-
stantly with his attentions. He said
that she had been engaged to him and
had refused to marry him.

SACRAMENTO, April 2S.-
Intense excitement prevails here
today following the arrival of
Secretary of State Bryan on a
diplomatic mission from Presi-
dent Wilson in connection with
the international difficulty SUBJ
sequent to the introduction of an
anti-alien land bill in the Califor-
mia legislature aimed against
Japan. A war scare arrived with
Mr.. Bryan. Senators and assem-
blymen refused to comment OPP
emily on the message brought by
the Secretary of State.
Unofficially and in the gossip
not only about the state house,
but throughout Sacramento it
was rumored that Japan had vir-
tually made threats against the
United States and that for this
reason Secretary Bryan had
been rushed to the Pacific coast
by his superior.
That this was the real message car
ried by Mr.. Bryan was generally ac-
cepted here. The nearest official con-
firmation came from Assemblyman
Benedict OF Los Angeles. who said: Il
am of the firm conviction that Japan
is straining a point so that it can GO
to war against the United States The
question then is, shall 3 per cent OF
the people of the nation plunge the
other 81 per cent into a war?
No legislator would permit himself
to be quoted on what he had heard
from anything that might appear TO
be from an official source. One legis-
lator. who would not permit his name
to be used, said that the report that
Mr.. Bryan's visit relates directly 10
the question of war is only a rumoT.
I'VE must wait TO hear his statement
directly from his own lips before we
can talk" he concluded.
Secretary Bryan reached the capi-
tol shortly after s o'clock accompan-
led by Governor Johnson They imme-
diately entered the governors office
and the governor sent out messengers
10 round up state leaders. As soon as
several Progressive senators and as
semblymen arrived they went into
conference with Secretary Bryan and
Governor Johnson

OF
MORNING GL0RIES
Cutting Tops Does Little Good
and PIoW Serves to Spread
the Roots.

On our lowland farms we find four
varieties of morning glories. The
field morning glory resembles the cult
tivated kind, and unlike the bind-weed,
grows only from the seed, so the only
remedy is to prevent the seeding.
The field bind-weed is morning
glory with small flowers and vine-like
stems that ertwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the plow or cultivator, form
new plants, until in a short time the
corn field is completely covered.
They start so early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough
to cultivate the rows are so hidden
that they must be cleaned out with
hoe before cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pea vine, morning glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a
more slender vine than the other va
rieties.
In the central states we find still
another of the prolific pests. This is
the wild sweet-potato or man-of-the-
earth vine It's roots resemble in shape
the cultivated sweet potato, but are
much longer and penetrate far below
tho plowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good, and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines, as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet po-
tato.
The plow only serves as a means of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
Of roots which grow new plants. Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which, for
tunately, is not so common as the 9TH
er varieties of the morning glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots,
and are a great help in clearing up
badly infested ground. Flowing dur
ing July and August prevents the
plants from growing again in the same
season, and will make them much less
plentiful next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
FULLY well, and few will be left in the
fall if they are turned on before the
bind-weeds go to seed

work, has little time for else than
quietly handling his team and imple-
ment at one and the same time.
This man will not get much salts
faction out of days work if he has
to worry with a green, restive colt,
who, chaflng at the unexpected misery
OF heavy work in hot weather, starts
up a little too soon or not soon
enough, protests at having to walk in
straight line at a slow gait, etc.
1t is not possible that he will balk,
kick or rear upon what might be con-
sidered very slight provocation, or
no provocation at all to broken mid
dle-aged farm horse.
In that section of Virginia known as
THE Valley" famous for it's notably
heavy draft horses, and their rule is
to break these big colts at two years
old, never working them over half
day at time, and beginning the pro-
cess in the late winter and early
spring.

steady team and with a quiet teamster,

The writer visited that section re-
Gently and while the quest of we'll
known horse breeder, saw four full
blooded Percherons working to a ma
nure spreader, nine-year-old mare
under the saddle, three-year-old stall
lion in the off lead and young mare
under the line.
The average weight of these splen-
did horses was about 1900 pounds
each, but the remarkable part of the
business was that these two young,
vigorous stations were working quiet
ly with mares Their teamster had
them under perfect control, but they
had been worked the same as the
two-year-olds, and had become used
to farm labor by degrees.
Of course advice is cheap and farm
ers get lots of it, and in the matter Of
working colts and green horses in the
summer time they have heard it all
fitting on the harness, scraping the col
lars at night, washing off the shoul-
.ders, and sparing the lash.
l have only to say this, and l speak
from experience: if the farmer does
not go easy with the three and four
year-olds at this season they will be
old and sluggish before their time.

(By j. NJ. BELL.)
Try to be patient with your colt, Mr..
Farmer. Remember that he is green
yes, as green as the grass he eats
SO peacefully when you turn him out
to Craze, and the harness no longer
chafes his soft young body.
All farmers know that a four-year
colt will stand more than three-year
old. Bone and muscle are better ma
tured and generally of better size;
therefore, he is better able to stand a
days work. But when it comes to
that no green, unbroken colt should be
expected to do full days work in the
team of well seasoned farm or road
horses.
So many good colts have been aged
and made dull by this foolish habit
of letting them run absolutely unbrok-
en- into the spring when they are three
or four years old, and then catching
them and putting them at hard, steady
work just as the busy season comes

Our experience with bind-weeds is
that spring plowing and persistent use
Of the cultivator only serve to spread
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bind-wed
dourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings Of
alfalfa the bind-weed has no opportu
nifty to seed, and in few years a
plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field.
The bind-weed, when once establish
ed in a field, is there to stay or put
up strenuous fight, and no halfway
methods will accomplish anything in
the way of getting rid of this pest.
When plowing or cultivating through
small spots of morning glory, it pays
to clean the plow or cultivator of all
roots to prevent the spreading of the
growth of new plants.
The use of the disk harrows and
disk cultivators will help to prevent
the spread of this pest.

CHECK ROW CORN
PLANTER ESSENTIAL
If Seed Is Substantially Same
Size Machine Will Drop Same
Number of Kernels.
CBy WALTER B. LEUTz.)

On all farms where the fields are of
sufficient size the check row corn
planter is almost necessity. If the
seed is substantially of the same size
and shape the machine will drop pre-
cisely the same number Of kernels to
the hill. If on the other hand, the
grain from the tips and butts Of the
ears is included the number of kernels
in the hill will vary considerable.
The distance between the hills and
the number of plants to the hill will
vary more or less according to the va
riety that is planted and the climate
of the locality in which the field Is
being planted.
Under ordinary conditions believe
in planting four kernels to the hill
and planting the hills about three
feet six inches apart both ways. AS
a general rule nothing is gained by
planting the field until the cold spring
rains are over. None but good seed
that possesses a strong terminating
power should be planted.
