Washington, D. c., Oct. 3-Presi-
dent Wilson began work today with
the prospect of signing before morn
ing the great reform passage OF
his administration, and the first
democratic tariff revision bill passed
in nearly a score of years.
Embraced in the legislation which
has been pending in congress since
April is a complete revision and a
general reduction of nearly all the
import duties levied by this govern
ment on foreign merchandise; new
income tax that will strike every per-
son having a net income above $4,000
and an array of important changes in
customs laws and internal revenue
regulations which will keep treasury
department officials busy for months
in adjusting administrative affairs
and which will have an important
bearing on all trade developments of
the country for the next year or two.
No differences on the tariff bill re-
mained to be settled in congress when
the two houses met at noon except the

Clark overruled the point of order,
holding that unless the house in turn

Formal Ceremony.

President Wilson, after a confer
ence with administration leaders early
today, planned to sign the tariff bill
at 8 o'clock tonight Arrangements
for ceremonies to attend the final act
in the prolonged legislation were made
by the president as soon as it seemed
assured that the measure would reach
him some time today
Invited by the president to witness
the signing of the measure were
Chairman Underwood and members Of
the house ways and means committee.
Chairman Simmons and members of
the senate finance committee, Vice
President Marshall. President Pro-
tempore Clarke, and Majority Leader
Kern, of the senate Speaker Clark,
members of the cabinet and newspaper
correspondents.
President Wilson looked forward
with eagerness to the moment when
the engrossed bill, the fruits of many
months of endeavor to enact tariff re-
form in accordance with the declara-
ton of the party platform, would be
placed upon his desk Having follow
ed every detail of the action in
conference and since the time in the
senate and house, he was thoroughly
familiar with the bill and ready to
affix the signature which would trans
form it into law.

years Declare That The Girls
Charges Are RidicuIIus.

New York, Oct 3.--HermaRn Oel-
richs, the young millionaire, remainei
in seclusion today, declining to dis
cuss the charge made by Lucille Sin
gleton, daughter of a Texas mining
man, that he had stabbed her on last
Tuesday night just before the auto
mobile in which they were riding
crashed into a tree. He referrel all in
quirers to his lawyers, who repeated
what they had said yesterday and
last night, that the stabbing charge
was ridiculous. They were equally en-
phatic in stating that no attempts
had been made to hush the matter
up" and that no offers of money set
tlement to the girl had been or would
be made.
The girl kept to her room today,
awaiting the arrival OF her father from
Dallas, Texas. She is still suffering
from shock and from the wounds in
her breast, which Oelrich's lawyers
say were sustained when she was
flung through the windshield of the
automobile. - ~ Il
The Columbia University authort-
ties, it was understood, began an in
vestigation of the affair today to de-
termine whether the facts warranted
Oelrich's dismissal as a student at
the institution.
On Tuesday next the case will come
up in court when Oelrichs will be ar
raigned on a charge of felonious as
sault. In the meantime he is under
a $1,000 bond.

The first thing that is worn out in
soils is the vegetable matter or hui
mus. The longer soils are titled and
the longer they are cultivated, the
more rapidly will the humus be ex-
hausted. Unfortunately, most of the
methods of handling soils, as com
monty practiced, deplete the humus
content very fast. The continued
growing of grain crops, especially
those that require considerable stir

toes, rapidly reduces the humus sup

quently the conditions are favorable
for its most rapid decay. Naturally,
In this decay considerable quantities
of plant food are set free, and this is
one of the immediate benefits from
cultivating corn. When this practice
is continued year after year on the
same land, the supply of humus ulti
mateIy becomes so low as to reduce
the productiveness below a profitable
basis.
It is, of course, true that the con

rotation the yield is IT'S bushels per

Growing Legumlnous Crops.
Crop rotation alone, however, will
not maintain the humus supply, nor
the fertility indefinitely. This is only
the first essential. The rotation must
include a wide use of leguminous
crops, both as regular and as catch
crops thrown in for pasture or green
manure. Such crops are usually
known as humus-building crops, be-
cause in order to build up humus in
a soil nitrogen is necessary, and these
plants have the ability to secure it
from the air. They do not depend
upon the soil nitrogen for making the
vegetable matter of which they are
composed. If these crops are removed
from the land, however, the humus
actually added to the soil is small, al
though since the soil is not stirred
while these crops are on the land
they tend to maintain it.
To build up the humus rapidly in a
soil, it is necessary that these crops
be pastured or fed and the manure
returned; or, better still, that occa.
sionally crops be turned under. 1t is
seldom advisable to turn under a reg
ular crop of green manure, but catch
crops should be used for this purpose
Cowpeas or sofa beans may be sowr
in the corn at the last cultivation, OF
sown after a regular crop of oats Of
wheat, and either pastured off OF
turned under to add hunius. Peas
may also be planted with the corr

From these results 1t will be seen
that where corn is grown continually
for II years, without manure, the
yield has been reduced to lis bush
els per acre. Where the land has
been simply rotated to corn, wheat
and clover the yield stands at 5O.7
bushels per acre. The increase is
due first to the fact that the ground
is cultivated but once in three years
thus being less exhaustive than where
cultivated each year; and to the FACT
that clover, being a humus and nitro
gen-building crop, is inserted. Where
the rotation has been the less ex
