Special Messages on Trust Situation
VIII Be Sent to Congress Immediate
ly After Holiday Recess

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10-Presi-
dent Wilson's trust legislation pro-
gram was discussed at a conference
at the white house today between
the president and Chairman Clayton
of the house judiciary committee, and
several of its members. The commit
tee. already has begun hearings on a
number of bills and the president will
later send to congress a special mes
sage on the subject. Today's confer
ence was intended to be an informal
discussion for development of views
1t was the first conference the presi-
dent had mad with any considerable
number of members of congress on
the trust question and was taken to
indicate that as with the tariff and
currency questions, the trust problem
would be handled through the close
, cooperation of the president and
members of the congressional COM
mittees.
1t has not been determined whether
all the antitrust bills in the house
will be handled by the judiciary COM
mittee OF whether some will be taken
in hand by the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce. In the senate
the legislation will be in charge o.
Senator Newlands, of Nevada, chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mittee.
Conferences thus far on the trust
question have been held by the presi-
dent with Chairmen Newlands AMI
Clayton, Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, Secretary Redfield and
Commissioner Joseph E. Davies of the
bureau of corporations. Samuel I'm
tcrmeyer, counsel for the Pujo money
trust investigation committee. is
drafting some bills as a result of that
committees Investigations and will
present them to the house committee.
Today's conference between Prest'
dent Wilson and the judiciary com
mittee majority was preliminary one
to survey the field and while the COM
mittee has already begun work on the
question, it is likely that measures
will not be launched in earnest until
after President Wilson has delivered
an address to congress on the subject
S'h'ch is likely to be after the holi-
days.

READY To FIGHT
AMERICAN CONSUL WIRES WASH
INGTON OF PENDING ATTACK ON
THAT CITY
1000 REBELS READY
TO ATTACK THE CITY
General villa Has Instructed His
Troops to Refrain From Destroying
Amy Property As Far As Possible.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Dec. 10.-An over
whelming force of rebels threatens t''
attack Tamrico at any moment, ac-
cording to advices received by wira-
less telegraphy this morning from
Clarence A. Miller, American ocnsul at
that seaport
A messenger fom General Villa
real, the rebel commander, reached
the American consulate at Tampico
last night, with the information that
1000 rebels, commanded by Generals
villareal and Castro, were approach
ing the city. The rebel advance, guard.
i. was said, was at La Guna Puerite,
nine miles from Tampico.
General villareal declared his in
tention of assaulting the city with
the least possibley delay. He said he
had given his followers strict orders
to refrain, as far as possible, from
the destruction of property, and to
protect the lives of foreigners, but
he feared that they would be grave
ly imperilled in the attack on the city
and the consequent fighting in the
streets. For this reason he earnestly
requested the American authorities Ic
take immediate steps to remove all
foreign residents from the place.
Up to the time of the dispatch cs
Consul Miller's advices, no definite
action had been taken on this request,
but Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher,
commander of the United States
feet, had made preparations to take
all foreigners on board his vessels
at moments notice, and to land the
marines, if it appeared advisable.
| 1t is understood that the captain
of the German cruiser Bremen con-
| ferred with Rear Admiral Fletcher
on the question of landing marines.
and courteously assured the Ameri-
can admiral that he would act in
harmony with his desires.

In an experiment recently finished
these important points were proved;
they will be OF value TO Kansas farm
ers:
Silage, which is made from mature
corn, is free from mould, has not been
exposed to air too long before feeding
and is properly supplemented with
other feeds which will make up the
deficiency in protein, can be fed to
horses with safety when care is used
to have them become gradually accus-
toned to it.
Horses fed sflage as a portion OF
their ration consumed less grain,
made their gains at lesser cost per
pound, were sIeeker and better fin
fshed than when fed on rations not
containing silage.
Using cottonseed meal to replace
oats resulted in cheaper ration, a
larger gain, smaller cost OF gain and
a higher finish in fartennig horses.
The cost of gains varied from 1S to
II cents 4 pound; the rate OF gain.

ConstantinopIe-Th religion OF the

Dervishes, the regular religious order
in Turkey. recognize no authority but
that Of Allah, and, in consequence,
have been prosecuted not a little by
the jealous Sultans. Although the lay
men who profess this faith have but
to repeat one or two short prayers
and wear the sacred cap for a few min
utes every day, those who take the
VOWS OF poverty, abstinence from
wine, and celibacy. from time to time
perform strange rites in their worship

FEEDING DRAFT HORSES FOR THE MARKET

from y pounds to 2 pounds head

The most profitable horse for feed
ing purposes is one that shows every

There is little change in depth OF

In feeding horses for market, the
cost OF gains IS not the only factor
which determines the profit or loss
from the operation Market values
fuctuate quite widely during the time
necessary for feeding, hence there may
be a considerable profit or loss due
entirely TO this factor. Horses that

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that a number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session Of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, OF considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort

by one the Dervishes leave their place
and begin to leap high in the air, nod

their hands on each others shoulders,

implements from the walls. They han

burning charcoal, drive a spit right
