graph company and the senders of mes
sages. The government asked that the
defendants be enjoined from obstructing
Interstate and government messages over
the Postal, from cutting, burning or other
wise injuring its telegraph lines and from
Interfering by threats, intimidation, per-
suason or force with employees or pros
peetire employees of the company. Pending

FUMIGATION OF
CAPITOL URGED

Washington, February 24.-Suggesting
that the ''heavy, germ laden atmosphere"
of the capitol was in part responsible
for the unusual death rate of the Sixty
second Congress, Representative Moore of
Pennsylvania today introduced a resolu-
ton to authorize a thorough fumigation
of the capitol and the installation of an
effective system of ventilation before the
beginning of the extra session on April
/. The preamble recites that seven sem
ators and 1S representatives died during
the Sxty-second Congress.
Plans for providing better ventilation
for the capitol have been under consid-
GRAFTON for years, but it has been con-
tended that it was impossible to carry
them into effect owing to the short time
between sessions. Less than 80 days will
elapse between the adjournment of the
present session and the convening of the
extra session, but Representative Moore
will undertake at least to have temporary
changes made in the interim.

damaged

Traders Worried

New York, February 24.-Exporters and
importers with Mexican connections
awaited with anxiety today further adj
vices of the situation in Mexico. Ship
ments and contracts aggregating millions
of dollars are held up, pending restora-
ton of order. Much of this business is
foreign account chiefly French and Ger
man. 1t is understood that a contract
recently made by the Madero government
with a big electrical concern here has
been cancelled.
Wall street heard today that scores
of American and foreign corporations
were preparing to file claims against the
Mexican government. These are in addi-
tion to damages sustained by the South
ern Pacific company during the recent
revolution and range from a few thou
sand dollars to sizable fractions of mil
lions. They probably will be presented
to the state department at Washington
Bankers identified with the Mexican
government during the Diaz regime took
occasion to deny all knowledge of re-
ported loan to the new administration.
Elsewhere the report was secuted.

HAS eEsT JERSEY COW
z. L. Brewer, Satsop Dairyman, Re-
ceives Gold Medal for Best Jer-
sey in the United States

E. L. Brewer of Satsop has receiv-
ed the fine gold medal from the Amer
lean Jersey Cattle club certifying the
fact that his COW, Olympia's Fern, Is
the best COW for her age among the
Jerseys of the United States. His COW
under tests conducted by the state
college, produced COG pounds of but
ter fat for one year and carried a calf
during the time. In the class of her
age this was the best record made.
This is the first time such an honor
has come to this state. This same
cow has produced about 900 pounds
of butter fat the last year. and if this
record stands she will probably lead
the Jerseys of the entire nation ir-
respective of age. Mr.. Brewer states
that there is some trouble with the
figures though the State College had
entire charge of the tests at all times.
The Brewer herd of Jerseys is one
of the best known in the state. At
the King county fair last week Mr..
Brewer took grand championship with
his fine COW, and in addition got 16
firsts and 3 seconds on his herd. His
total prize money was 1922. He also
won the Northern Pacific clock for the
best cattle shown.
