The International Swimming Fed
Grafton does not include so yards
among the distances of worlds rec
ords. the shortest distance being 100
yards. Furthermore, the federation
allows records made in baths of at
least 25 yards length at the following
distances: 100, 220. 300. 44O and 500
yards and 100, 200, 300. 400 and 500
meters; at longer distances open wa
ter course of at least 100 meters
length is made conditional
Duke Kahanamoku's S. 2-5 sec. was
not listed as a worlds record because
it only equaled the previous record
and at the last meeting it was de-
cided that equaling a record is not
breaking il, and a record has to be
broken to be listed. IL his So Is as
reported by cable should prove cor

The fastest time for SO yards
straightaway in open water is url-
deubtedly WIckham's, which has been
acknowledged as an Australian rec
ord. Regarding the 220 yards time of
Longworth, 2:27 3-5, established in
the championship of New South
Wales, have been informed that this
performance has been rejected as a
record because Longworth anticipat-
ed the start, The best times on rec
ord are therefore 2.28,2-5 made by
Keran in Brisbane, 1905, and Beaure-
paire in Melbourne. 1910; both are
made in open water baths of 33 1-3'
yards length. This distance is. hardly
ever swum in open water in the u,

are therefore no criterion. While j

Into the greenhouses of James ].
Hill in the rear of his residence in
st. Paul, where the railroad man,
without the knowledge of the world,
has been carrying on for the last
two months an experiment expected
to revolutionize agriculture, six men
representing commercial and financial
Minneapolis were guided to witness
astonishing results in wheat, oats and
barley culture, achieved by new
chemical soil analysis and its practical
application.
Phosphorus has been found to be
the great essential plant food lacking
in the soil of the northwest. Mr.. Hill
has found the way, he told the Mime
apolis men, to increase soil fertility.
A trainload of dirt was brought into
st. Paul in November. Only F. r.
Crane, agricultural expert in the
Great Northern road employ, who col
lected soil from 3S7 Minnesota and
North Dakota farms, and few others
concerned with the work knew what
was going on. Small experimental
farms were then prepared,
This is what we have done by ex.
perimenting on farms in the north
west" said Mr.. Hill, handing type
written sheet showing that 1,141 bush
els more grain was grown on the ex-
pertinent farms operated scientifically
as compared with the number of bush
els obtained by the farmers from the
farms indicated.

GIVEN CHANCE
FOR FREEDOM
Bail For IronWorkers Placed
at SL,IOO,OOO
SUPERSEOEAS WRIT ALLOWED

Court Of Appeals Fixes Bond at $1o,-
900 For Each Year Of Sentence I'M
posed-Amount Too High TO Free All.
Bonds aggregating $1,1OO,O00 must
be given If the labor leaders convicted
OF conspiracy to transport dynamite
are to take advantage of the granting
of writ of supersedeas by the United
States circuit court of appeals in Chi
cago. /
Whether this sum can be obtained
was admitted by counsel for the de-
PENDANTS to be matter of doubt, but
they expressed belief that at least
some of it could be rocured-enough
to accomplish the liberty OF President
Frank NJ. Ryan and a few others until
decision has been reached on an ap-
peal, for the filing of which the court
granted sixty days.
The decision involves only thirty
two Of the thirty-three men in the
penitentiary, as Herbert s. Hockin
will not appeal
Judges Baker and Herman heard the
arguments and the decision was given
orally by Judge Baker He took oc-
casion to intimate that undue haste
was manifested in indianapolis in COM
mitting the defendants to prison.
The writ was issued largely on the
point raised by the defense that the
ironworkers were convicted of a con.
tinuing offense, conspiracy to commit
offenses continuously. In fixing the
amount of bail, the court was in
fluenced by the fact that the offenses
involved are not extraditable.
A basis of 10000 for each years
sentence was used by the court in
fixing the bond AS Ryan was sen.
fenced to serve seven years. his bond
was fixed at $4,000 and the same
ratio was preserved throughout.
Peeling potatoes in the kitchen, car
pentering and constructing steel
buildings in the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth Kan, were some
thirty-three labor union officials con-
victed in the dynamite conspiracy.
Olaf A. Tveitmoe was assigned to
do kitchen work, among his first duties
being the peeling OF potatoes. Frank
NJ. Ryan, president of the union. was
assigned to work in the carpenter
shop. Peter ]. Smith of Cleveland also
was assigned to the carpenter shop.
Because Of his feeble condition
Henry w. Legleitner of Denver, one
of the ironworkers' executive board
members, was given outdoor work. He
will assist in the manufacture of
bricks for new prison buildings.
Another ironworkers' official who
was taken off his trade was Eugene
Clancy of San Francisco. AS Clancy's
health is not good it was decided to
allow him to work in the storeroom.
Other prisoners were given jobs on
steel construction work.

Granite of the South.

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
Is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be ac-
knowedged to the credit of the South
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the South a place in
the market at any rate The annual
output is now worth about $3,500,000
and the industry is growing. 1t may
be of comparative interest to know
that New England's output is about
S9,OoO,0O0 worth of stone annually

Speed and cleverness won Luther
Mccarthy the title Of heavyweight
champion of the world when he de-
feated Al Palzer in the Vernon (Cal)

The fight was so one sided that
Referee Eyton stopped 10 IN the
eighteenth round to save the reeling
Palzer from further punishment Nc
Carly, Palzers curly haired superior,
was smiling and scarcely scratched
when the fight ended
Palzer's eyes were almost closed,
his mouth, nose, cheek and ears cut
and he presented a bloody and bat
tered appearance. Only his capacity
for standing punishment saved him
from being knocked out, for McCarty
landed on his jaw repeatedly.

HOP PILLOWS.
Their Efficacy as a Sleep Induoer as
Shown on An Elevated Train.

SHOWN on An Elevated Train.
a man who suffered from sleepless-
ness picked up in Austria recently
what seemed to him to be the best
remedy he had ever found. 1t was
nothing more or less than pillow
stuffed with hops, An Austrian peas
ant woman recommended 1t not alone
as sleep producer but as beauti-
fer as well.
Returning to this country the man
bought some New York State hops,
famous for their beer making quail
ties. but to his surprise they did not
work as well as the hops he had tried
abroad. He found out by experiment
that hops that made good beer didn't
necessarily produce good sleep.
After he had sampled lot OF diff
ferent kinds of hops he found that by
mixing hops grown in Bohemia with
hops grown in California and Oregon
he got a combination which seemed
to answer all purposes in the sleep
producing line.
He decided that he had hit it right
when he took a couple of pillows he
had stuffed with this combination in
his Office downtown home with him
on the elevated He got in at Rector
street carrying the pillow and sat in
one of the double seats. Two men
and messenger boy sat with him.
At Fifty-ninth street all three were
in profound slumber. Several other
persons who had been reading news
papers near him were in evident dis
tress in their efforts to keep awake.
Inquiry at different drug stores
seemed to indicate that the hop pill
low idea was a new one, though hops
have long been known to have sleep
inducing qualities, as shown particu-
larly in the case Of beer. According
to those who have tried hop pillows,
you get all the soporific qualities of
the hops in this way without break
ing any temperance pledges orlsuffer-
ing any harmful effects.-New York

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Bank cIearings For Week Show
Falling of.

Duns Review of Trade says this
week:
This weeks statement of bank
clearings at the leading cities of the
United States displays considerable
contraction as compared with the two
preceding years, the total aggregation
being only $2,743,722,616, loss of 6.S
per cent compared with the same
week last year, and rs per cent com
pared with the corresponding week in
1911.
These decreases, however, are al
most, if not wholly, due to the fact
that the week in the two previous
years included heavy payments
through the banks of the first three
and four days, respectively, in Janu-
airy, whereas this year there was only
one day"

SEVEN KILLED ON
HOODOO BRIDGE
Engine Goes Through Structure
For Third Disaster
HIGH WATER WEAKENED PILING
Six Men Seriously InJured-FinanciaI
Loss Half a Million and Chesapeake
and ohio's Service Badly Crippled.

A Chesapeake and Ohio engine Of
the heaviest type pulling Westbound
freight train No. SO plunged through
a temporary bridge spanning the
Guyan river at Guyandotte on the
eastern edge of Huntington, w. Va.
Seven men were hurled to death
and half dozen more seriously hurt
The dead are:
F. f. Webber, engineer.
Henry White, watchman
Charles Haddie, bridge worker
Emmett Wood bridge worker.
James Crawford, bridge worker
Charles Coyner, bridge worker
j. G. Wheeler, bridge worker.
The financial loss, it is estimated,
will reach a half million dollars.
Freight traffic on the road has been
completely tied up and passenger traf-
fic was resumed after delay of sew
eral hours by the use OF tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The Guyandotte bridge, the scene
of the disaster, was known to railroad
men as a hoodoo bridge, this accident
making the third fatal accident on
this structure. The railroad officials
claim that the collapse of the bridge
was due to the piing being under
mined by the high stage of water now
prevailing in Guyan river
Fifteen men were working on the
bridge and eleven of them went down,
five being rescued from the river. The
others fell under the engine and cars.
So far it has been impossible to re-
cover the bodies Of any of the victims.
A passenger train had passed safely
over the bridge few minutes before
the crash, but the fireman and brake
man of the freight train seemed to
have a premonition of danger and
walked across the bridge in advance.
To this they owe their lives.
The break came as the engine
reached the middle span and one car
plunged fifty feet into the swollen
stream with it.
The ironwork Of the bridge is
total loss and it will require several
weeks to replace the structure so that
direct traffic may be resumed.

351O Perrysville avenue, Pittsburg.
The girl had stolen the jewels and
then for six hours, suffering all the

she repeated over and over to de-
tectives the story of how a negro had
committed the theft after he had
thrown the acid in her face.

In Farewell Speech Texan Roasts

anu anu Ne
Senator Bailey of Texas in his fare
well speech in the senate referred to
w. r. Hearst as a moral pervert, a
political degenerate and a political
coward"
When Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
jumped to his feet to protest against
this attack upon a friend of his Mr..
Bailey waved him aside with the
declaration that he would not tolerate
any interruption in the defense OF
that miserable dog"
Altogether Senator Bailey's attack
on Hearst was the most bitter that
has been heard on any man in the
senate in a long time. 1t was only one
of many spectacular features of the
Texas senator's swan song, The speech
itself, which lasted for almost four
hours, was final attack by Senator
