Test Alcohol.

routine of the all night court was bro
ken when one Of several prisoners ar
raigned on charges Of intoxication
begged to be excused because his
drunkenness was part of a scientific
experiment he was making to ascer-
tain the effects OF alcohol. The pris-
oner was George L. Dolbert, who said
he was a physician. Il have been a
student OF alcoholism for the last
twenty years" he told the court, land
I did this just to ascertain what the
feelings are that accompany a state
of intoxication." Magistrate Breen &C.
.cepted the plea and discharged the
prisoner on condition that he should

More Butter Produced.

With fewer dairy cows, Iowa dur
ing the last year has produced nearly
100000 pounds more butter than
the year before. That Is one of the
surprising facts that will be brought
out in the annual report Of w. b.
Barney, dairy and food commissioner,
to the governor. The increase, ac.
Icording to Mr.. Barney. Is one result
of the growing use OF dairy sires In
breeding. Four or five years ago
dairynen began TO purchase dairy
sires. The result OF that move is Just
beginning to show itself in the total
Of the butter production. The last
years butter was also better In quail
ity than that of the year before and
sold at higher price.

playing solitaire and nearly always, when the public glimpsed him, with cigar in his mouth. His physicians, still baffIed by his ailment, put him on a diet of barley soup and chopped meat and tried to limit the cigars.
 The sun of Rome, the diet and the doctors seemed to have started him back to health when he attended the Easter services at the American Pro- testant Episcopal church at Rome. He appeared to walk with difficulty, however, and left the church before the service ended. He grew rapidly worse and for several days lay in a practically comatose state.
 Please don't speak to me now" was the request of J. Pierpont Mor- gan, Jr., of the small army of news papermen who greeted him when he left his home in Madison avenue, this morning. MT. Morgan was bound for the home of his mother, a. few doors away. Before he entered her door, however, he added:
 Two cablegraIns have been recciv- ed from Rome. One was received at 8:15 and the other at 8:30. They have not yet been transmitted. A statement will be given out, later at the offices of J. P. Morgan & Com pany.''

 A belated telegram to Fred Enos, President of the Bridgeport Board of Trade, reached this city today from Dayton. It follows:
 F'redr Enos, President Board of
 Trade,
 Bridgeport, Conn, Telegram received Situation ap- paIling. Relief can best be given us Citizens Relief Committee. w. F. Bip- pus, secretary and treasurer
 This wire was in response to three te1egrams sent by MT. Enos. last Wednesday,, to the Mayor, President of Chamber of Commerce, and J. H. Patterson, President of the National Cash Register Co.,. MT. Enos' wires were as follows: ,e'What can Bridgeport do to give quick relief to your stricken city? We are ready to act.
 Fred Enos, President, Bridgeport Board of Trade.''
 S. Driver, local agent of the Adams Express Company issued to The Farmer today, the following state ment:
 ''In order to have the general public the offer of our Company, I wish you would make them acquainted with it through your press. Our Company will pick up and deliver free of charge any amount of shipment from Charity Leagues to Relief Stations in the flood regions. Up to the present time we have received and forwarded from the Women's Franchise League 1856 lbs. of clothing for Dayton and Columbus, Ohio.

seemed nothing that could stop the outpour of stock. Then it was that MT. Morgan poured $25, 100000 of pool money into the exchange. Call money broke to six per cent. and MT. Mor- gan, with supporting orders of United States Steel stocks, made such 8 show of strength that the leading issues rushed upward five to six points and the panic was averted.
 In finance MT. Morgan had his fail ures as well as his successes. He or ganized the Northern Securities Com pany which was dissolved by the United States government as an a1- legged combination in restraint of trade. The underwriting of the "In- ternational Steamship Trust by the Morgan firm was a complete failure. The business coup that marked the climax of his career, as a captain of industry, was the organization of the organization of the United States Steel Corporation, one of the largest indus trial institutions of the world.
 MT. Morgan's collection of art works probably is the most valuable in- dividual one in the world. Once MT. Morgan kept abroad a collection of objects of art valued at $3,O0O,000 rather than pay the duty on them de- manded by the United States govern ment.
 It was alone for his own satisfac- tion that MT. Morgan spent millions in his collection of art, books and anti ques. He gave away his treasures al- most as fast as he bought them, many of them to public institutions.
 A romantic incident in MT. Morgan's life an art collector was his pur- chase of the famous Cope of the As coli which was presented by Pope Nicholas to the city of Oseo1i in Italy. The Cope had been stolen and MT. Morgan returned it to the Italian gov ernment. King Victor Emmanuel de- corated MT. Morgan for this act.
 MT. Morgan's magnificent museum and private library stands in 18th street, near his Madison avenue home, in New York. It is filled with rare manuscripts and works of art. In this museum, MT. Morgan spent much of the last years of his life.
 Mir Morgan paid his last visit to the financial district the day before he sailed for the Mediterranean and Egypt. On that occasion he was at his office for several hours and it was said that he also visited the sumptu- ous private offices fitted up for him on one of the topmost floors of the Bankers Trust Company, diagonally opposite his present offices. To those who. then saw MT. Morgan, it was evil dent his health was failing. This was attributed in part to the strain he had undergone only 9, few days, previous when he appeared before the Pujo money trust investigation committee. It was the first experience of this kind for the inancier and although he testified with all frankness the soli- citude then shown by members of his family and associates who were at his side indicated that they were fearful of the effect on his health.
 All knew MT: Morgan for his demo- cracy. In the days of his greatest power it was his custom to appear at his banking house some time around noon. Often he rode from his resi- dence or the Union Club in an old fashioned brOugham. It was not un- til a year ago that he began to use a motor car. Frequently he rode downtown in the subway or on one of the surface cars.
