LANE MUST BE KEPT QUIET
"Any Little lndiscretion" May Be
Serious for Secretary.

Berkeley, Cal.-The condition OF
Secretary of the Interior Lane was
such Wednesday that lis physicians
saw fit to order his removal from the
home of his brother, DR.. Frederic
Lane, where he has been cared for
since his collapse in Oakland Septem-
Der 9, to a quieter portion of the city.
He was taken to the home Of Assis-
tant Secretary of the Interior Miller,
who is resident here. The Miller
home, in North Berkeley, is remote
from traffic noises Of the business
district.
Secretary Lanes physicians said
that absolute rest in the Miller home
for a period Of at least two weeks Is
essential to warrant his recovery. He
will be permitted to receive only
members of his family and intimate
friends and may not discuss any OF
the matters pertaining to his public
duties.
"Any little indiscretion may bring
about serious complications" one Of
the doctors said.

INCREASE ALFALFA i ACREAGE
incoin County Agriculturist Urges
Farmers TO Plant More.

f.
Dayenport--In line with efforts OF
+be Spokane Chamber Of Commerce.
County Agriculturist w. ]. Jones OF
davenport is using his influence 70
secure for Lincoln county more acres
If alfalfa. for which he believes after
a careful survey of the county hun
dreds of acres are adapted.
For planting in the Big Bend coun.
trv Mr.. Jones advises as follows:
"Plow deep if fall plowed land is
IN he used and do not work the SOIL
after the pillow so that the moisture
NAV be retained during the winter.
In the spring the land should be thor
oughly cultivated again to kill weeds
and the seed sown Immediately. Sow
not to exceed six pounds Of choice
seed to the acre, it being essential to
have a thin even stand in this part
of the country. Too much seed is
one of the principal reasons some OF
the farmers have failed to get salts
factory stands. Use a drill in seed
ing and put the seed about one and
one-half inches deep and supply the
land with bacteria, so necessary for
successful growth, by scattering q few
hundred pounds of soil taken from
an old alfalfa field. Do this on a
cloudy day and drag the soil 1mme-
diately, for direct rays of the sun kill
the bacteria. II farmers will follow
out this method there will be little
complaint from poor stands and Lin
coin county will ultimately raise alfal-
ia from thousands Of acres where hun
dreds are now planted"

New York-The arbitrators who will
decide the wage dispute of the eastern
railroads and the trainmen received
statistics Tuesday indicating that the
roads have increased the size and ca
ing the cost of operation. The wit
ness was DR.. Frank J. Warne Of Penn

figures to argue that either train

wages raised. DR.. Warne admitted
that he had had no practical expert
ence in railroading and that his testi-
mony was based wholly upon statis-
tics in which he claimed to be an
expert.

GENERAL OTIS GETS BOMB
Attempt Made on Life OF Los Angeles
Times Publisher.

Los Angeles For the second time
within three years g bomb Wednesday
placed In jeopardy the life Of General
Harrison Gray Otis, owner Of the Los
Angeles Times building, which was
destroyed by dynamite October 10,
1910. That he was not blown to pieces
was probably due to the watchful eye
of his Japanese servant, who received
from the postman an internal machine
mailed in this city, and called his en-
ployer's attention to it.
The first Internal machine directed
at the life of General Otis was found
at his residence few hours after his
newspaper plant had been DESTROYED
through the efforts Of the McNamara
conspirators.
The attempt on his life Wednesday
was attributed by the general to agen-
cies friendly to those for and whose
conspiracy eventuated in the deStruc-
ton of his newspaper plant and the
killing of 20 men three years ago. But
the police and postal authorities be
lieved something might be developed
from the theory that the Mexican
question had an impelling part in it.
General Otis is heavily interested
in lands in. the Mexican territory OF
Lower California, where two years ago
Industrial Workers of the World joined
the "direct action" element of Mexi-
cans in an effort to establish social
istic commonwealth.
A few weeks ago there was another
outbreak caused, according to report,
by the employment Of Chinese in the
places of Mexican laborers by ranch
ers in Lower California, but General
Otis asserted at the time that none
were employed by him.

CURRENCY BILL PROGRESSES
Passagei in House Greatly Aided by
Republican Votes.

Washington, D. C.-The complete
revision of American banking and cur
rency methods proposed in the Demo
cratic currency bill was started on its
way to the statute books Monday
By vote of 286 to "a the house
passed the bill in practically the
same form in which it was originally
proposed, Twenty-four Republicans
and IA Progressives joined with the
Democrats in voting for the bill.
With this overwhelming house ma
jority and the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Wilson behind it, the measure
was sent over to the senate. There it
was referred to the banking and cur
rency committee, before which hear
ings on the subject were already in
progress. The committee may not be
ready to report for several weeks.
The measure would eliminate the
present American bank note system,
under which banks issue currency
against government bonds and estab-
lish a currency, to be issued by IL
Federal reserve banks based on sound
commercial paper, which the govern
ment assumes the responsibility of re-
deeming in gold or legal money.
1t would place practically every
phase of banking under control of a
Federal reserve board of seven MEM
bers to be appointed by the President,
advised by council Of bankers. The
system would be administered through
the reserve banks, situated in IL geo
graphical divisions of the country,
capitalized at about S., 000, 900, which
capital must be subscribed by the
banks in the reserve district.

HUERTA ORDERS DIAZ HOME
Believed He Will Support Latter
for Presidency.

Mexico City-Instructions have been
sent by President Huerta to General
Felix Diaz, who now is in Europe, to
return to Mexico Immediately. 1t is
expected that he will sail within few
days.
This fact is learned on high author
ity, and it is regarded here as indicat-
ing that General Huerta intends to
abide by the pact signed at the Amer
lean embassy last February to place
no obstacle in the path of General
Diaz in his candidacy for the presi-
dency.
It is considered possible that Cen
eral Huerta will throw his influence to
Diaz, which practically would insure
his election.
The partisans of Diaz have not
ceased to labor in his behalf, and
assert that they have organized up
ward of 5000 "clubs" throughout the
republic. Up to the present General
Diaz is the only candidate in the field.
The Catholic party, which is the
only big organization likely to put for
ward a candidate in opposition, held a
convention several weeks ago and adj
journed without naming candidate.
The leaders of that party have called
another convention. 1t is no secret
that they favor Huerta, and in the
previous convention they decided to
support the present president should
he decide to become candidate.
General Huerta, however, has given
no intimation of such intention.
Much comment has been caused by
President Huerta's selection of Edu-
ardo Tamariz, one of the most promi-
nent among the younger leaders of the
Catholic party, for the portfolio of
public instruction in his cabinet, va
Gated by Jose Maria Lozano, who has
been transferred to the department of
communications and public works.
Tamariz has never held an important
public office, although for several
years he has been closely identified
with political affairs.

Plans Made to Increase Its Scope
and Usefulness.


Spokane-Ten thousand dollars in
cash prizes and premiums will be dis
tributed among winners at the Sixth
National Apple Show and Fruit Prod
ucts conference to be held in Spokane
this fall. The foregoing name has
been selected officially for the annual
apple exposition, as it covers more
fully the educational and conference
side of the show, which really is the
principal purpose back of the institu-
ton.
The board Of trustees has selected
the week of November II to % as
dates Of the show, and negotiations
now are under way relative to secur-
ing a suitable shelter. The lower
floor of the palatial Davenport hotel,
now being erected at cost of 81, 600,
600, is being sought. The hotel has
the advantage of central location,
accessible to all street cars and con-
venient to all depots. It's modern
steel and concrete construction, would
provide the most comfortable quarters
ever occupied by the apple show.
Efforts will be made to have grow
ers' conference cover broad field.
H. C. Sampson, manager Of last year s
show and a trustee this year, is ar
ranging this feature. He is trying to
secure the participation Of number
of men of more than national reputa-
ton in matters pertaining to fruit,
among them the following:
T. E. Carver, head of the new mar
keting division of the United States
department of agriculture; A. E.
Powell, president of the California
Citrus growers, and B. F. Yoakum,
president of the Frisco system.
Paul H. Weyrauch, manager of the
Blalock ranch near Walla Walla and
trustee of the apple show, attended
the last board meeting. M. Wey-
rauch expressed approval of the plans
and cope of the exposition, saying
"This institution is on the right track
when it endeavors to help the grower
to grow good fruit, to dispose Of it a
profit and to utilize the by-products.
l believe the National apple show has
done much toward bringing about the
present approach of perfection of the
northwestern apple"
