British Legislators Meeting
With Rroble len1s That May
Influence Retention Of
Power Of Party Leaders.

London, Jan. 3-The project of i'm
posing taxes on food imported into the
British isles, put forward by some OF
the leaders Of the opposition in the
house of commons has created such
hopeless dissensions in the Unionist
party as to render almost certain the
retention of power by the liberal gov
ernment for the two years necessary
to over come the resistance of the
house of lords to the home rule bill
On the other hand, the wrangles
among the Unionists afford some
temptation to the government to make
an appeal to the country on the
an increased majority.
Irish May 6alk.
p This, however, is course of action
which has little likelihood of being
sanctioned by the members of the
Irish nationalist party, because 1t
would delay the passage of the home
rule bill and would even risk the re-
turn Of the unionists to Office, thus
shelving home rule altogether.
On the whole, therefore. the chances
now appear to be that the ministers
parliament and will push on their leg
islative program especially as David
Lloyd George, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer has practically overcome his
difficulties with the medical profession
and has secured almost enough doc
tors to work the new insurance act.
Split is Large.
According to one of the leading
morning papers 265 members of the
unionists party in the house of COM
mons have abandoned the idea of tax
ing food, leaving only seventeen ad-
vocates Of food taxes under the leader
ship of Austin Chamberlain. If this
estimate is correct one the recent
campaign against food taxes had been
extraordinarily successful and Andrew
Bonar Laws position as leader of the
party has become somewhat
difficult as he advocates a policy
abandoned by the bulk Of his party.

Dynamiters Sent to Leav-
enworth Will be Admit
ted to Bail Based on Term
at $4,000 for Each Year.
COUNSEL ARGUED. IN
COURT OF APPEALS
Krum Claimed Judge An
derson Erred in Permit
ting Jury to Consider
Cause Of Transportation.

Chicago, Jan. "a writ Of super
sedeas staying execution of the sen.
tences imposed upon the dynamite
conspirators recently convicted at In.
dianapolis was issued by the United
States circuit court of appeals here
today. Bail was based on the mum
ber of years which the prisoners have
been sentenced to serve-$1O, 900 for
each year.
Thus Ryan's bail was fixed at $7O,-
600 or $4,000 for each of the seven
years Of his sentence. Thos who re.
ceived sentences of six years must
furnish 100000; four years $4,000,
and so on down to $4,000 for the one
year sentences, according to defense
lawyers the court, Judges Seaman and
Baker sitting. Defense lawyers stat.
ed that money enough to admit all to
bail would be forthcoming.
The convicted leaders Of the iron
workers union through their counsel,
z. N. Zoline and P. H. O'Donnell OF
Chicago; Milton Harding Of Indian
apolis, and Chester e. Krum Of st.
Louis, appeared in court to argue for
q writ of supersedeas to stay execu-
ton OF the sentence inflicted by the
United States district court and for
the admission to bail Of the prison ers
pending fugtAers aeston hy. the court 81
appeals. s I. sss ,,s
Called Cases Vague.
Attorney Zoline presented the peti-
tion in behalf of the convicted iron
workers, and argued in support OF 1t
as did Attorney Krum Zoline de-
clared that in cases such as the pres
ent one the prisoners have the right
Of bail. particularly as the defendants
were sentenced and sent to Leaven-
worth before a hearing on a writ of
error had been held.
"DO you mean to tell me that writ
of supersedeas should issue as mat
ter of right?" inquired Judge Baker.
That Is my understanding" replied
Zoline, who then began quoting su-
preme court decisions which he said
bore on the point.
Judge Baker stated that the point of
the writ of error was not well taken.
He added that there was no occasion
for the court of appeals to supervene
in any case unless 1t is shown that the
procedure of the lower court was
questionable at law.
8
the evidence on which convictions
were secured at indianapolis was
vague and inadequate" and that the
Judge of the lower court should not
have allowed the case of many of the
defendants to go to the jury at all.
Krum argued that there was no evil
dence adduced at Indianapolis to show
that the defendants conspired to car
ry dynamite on passenger trains.
Said Anderson Erred.
"If dynamite had been carried from
Detroit to Tiffin, Ohio, by automobile
there would have been no offense and
consequently there could have been no
charge of conspiracy" said the lawyer.
He said that the statute denounces the
carrying of dynamite on an individual
occasion, and that when the parties
combine to commit that one act the
conspiracy is complete.

Des Moines, Jan. Especially -
The annual "car shortage" for Iowa,
which makes it's appearance along

terra on their roots
The great value of alfalfa, clovers,
vetches, peas and beans depends largely
on their power to utilize gaseous nitro
gen. They posses this power, however,
only when they have these nodules on
the roots. When these plants have
been grown successfully, the nodule
forming bacteria may be present in
sufficient plumbers to inoculate a new
seeding. In casa of alfalfa in Michi-
gan. 1t is not safe to depend on the
notwithstanding bacteria being already
present in the soil.
While inoculated soil may be obtain.
ed in some localities and may be used
to advantage, it has certain disadvan.
tages. Pure cultures of the nodule-
forming bacteria for alfalfa, red clover,
alsike clover, white clover, soy beans,
peas, COW peas and vetches can be pur-
chased from the Agricultural Expert
ment Station. These cultures are sold
at 25 cents for enough to inoculate a
bushel of seed. There is practically no
difference in the cultures put out by the
Experiment Station and those widely
advertised by certain commercial firms.
One great difference is found in the
price. Extravagant statements are also
apt to be made by these firms.

Fruit stains Of any kind may be re-
moved by placing the stained portion
Of the cloth over a bowl and pouring
boiling hot water over the stain. It

Coffee, tea or cocoa stains should
be soaked In cold water for an hour,
then wiring dry and proceed as for
fruit stains, pouring boiling water
through the stained portion.
When leaving wood pals and tubs
for some time. lay t~hicknesses Of
newspaper in the bottom and around
