Washington. March 1.-The unrest in
the ranks OF the Democratic Senators
gave way to open resentment TO-DAY
when the caucus. by what is charged Il,
be "frame-up" by coterle Of Pro.
gressives. again upset tradition and the
rule of seniority by defeating Senator
Bacon as the majority candidate for
President pro tempore of the Senate ana
electing TO that post Senator Clark. NJ
Arkansas.
The Senator from Georgia. who conf.
IDENTIFY expected that he would be chosen
without objection. was defeated by a vote
OF IA to q. So closely was the plan Of IN,
Progressive combination guarded that
Mr. Bacon had no inkling of its purpose
until the blow fell. The Senators who
stood by him declared II was an outrage
perpetrated through deceit. and the dis.
sension that prevails In tho majority
ranks was displayed in the open.
Democrats exercised the control which
has passed into their hands by first
bouncing on the chaplain q the Senate
the Rev. u. c. y. Pierce. whose head will
be the first TO fall beneath the axe The
Rev Forest J. Prettyman, pastor OF the
Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal
Church. OF Washington, was selected u
succeed him. Charles Z. Higgins, of 81
Louis. formerly Excise Commissioner o.,
Missouri, was selected for sergeant.at-
arms OF the Senate. His name was pre-.
sented by Senator Stone.
Keller Leading for Secretary.
The selection of secretary to succeed
Charles g. Bennett. of New York. seems
TO have narrowed down to Robert Gates
Washington correspondent. and John
". Keller, of New York. Senator OGor-
mans candidate. with the chances de-
cidedly in favor OF the latter.
The Democrats have extended open

Chairman McCombs Of the national
committee is also In the city. and was IN
his Office yesterday talking over various
questions OF patronage. In regard to the

McCombs said:
There is not any friction. and there
will he none. | am perfectly satisfied ana

Mr.. McCombs has made many sugges'
tons. but has never attempted To dictate

There was one thing. however. that

Wilson this afternoon in the Green Room

MIR Wilson snubbed the Tammany chief

luncheon table--Murphy being among
those at it-before the meal had been
served That was the day that Mr.. Will
son put an end to Murphy's aspirations
10 renominate Mr.. Dix.
The apparent purpose of the meeting
between the President and Murphy to-day
was TO have the news spread broadcast

CARING FOR DWARF APPLES
Four. Orchards In Different
Parts Of the Empire State.

The New York experiment station
has four dwarf apple orchards in diff
ferent parts of the state. three of
which were planted to test the claims
made for dwarf apples. These are
that dwarf trees come in bearing
earlier than standards: that orchard
operations are more easily performed,
and that the fruit is of higher color
and better quality from dwarf trees
The three orchards have been planted
five years, giving ample opportunity
to find out whether these advantages
are real in New York. The dwarfs
do come in bearing somewhat earlier
than the standards. but the difference
is not appreciahle from a financial
standpoint. Instead of the cost Of
care being less for the dwarfs. 1t has
been found to be considerably more
in all of the orchards. and the most
OF dwarf trees is greater. There is
no difference in color. size or flavor
between the trees on dwarf and stand

ROADS SHOULD BE DRAGGED
Systematic and Persistent Use Of rras
VIII Result in Very Great
Amount OF improvement.

The great benefit 10 dirt roads
from the systematic and persistent
use of the road drag is certainly so
plain in Illinois and other states
this year that no sensible person
can doubt that the use of the road
drag should be provided for by law,
says the Illinois Farmer. The sys-
tematic dragging of earth roads will
result in much greater Improvement
than any other work on them costing
the same. The road drag makes a very
great improvement on all roads except
those that are quite sandy. This year
has demonstrated that nine-tenths or
the roads of Illinois. Iowa. etc, can
be made. by systematic dragging. as
good as could well be desired for at
least nine months of the year. Roads
in Illinois and neighboring states that
have been well dargged for three or
four years past have been this
summer better for both heavy traffic
and automobiles than the brick or
stone paved streets OF the cities. IL
takes several years of systematic drag
ging to make earth roads as good as
they can be made with the drag. Each
year toughens and hardens the road
and also lessers the necessary work
with the drag.
Certainly every state with soil SINH,
lar to that of Illinois. should have a
law requiring road officials to have
the roads dragged whenever needed
OF course providing for the payment
for this work out of the road taxes
Both farmers and town people should
begin work at once to secure such a
law. II VII take real work to get such
a law for It will not make necessary
high-priced engineers and commits
sions, or give room for big graft in
any one spot. Fortunately the roads
can be properly dragged by farmers
and others and this road improvement,
can be made without taking ii out oi
the hands OF local officials who can be
watched close ly.
