Secretary Houston Tells Grangers of
Their Shortcomings.

Manchester, N. H, Nov. 14.-Less
than 40 per cent of the cultivated land
in the United States is reasonably well
cultivated and less than IL per cent is
yielding maximum returns Secretary
Houston of the department of agricul-
ture told the National Grange of Pa
irons of Husbandry in forty seventh
annual convention here today that the
best figures he could procure led to
such a conclusion and that only in a
very few localities had conditions been
developed to insure maximum returns.
Secretary Houston spoke of ''manipu-
lations of those middlemen who per-
form no useful or necessary service as
one of the causes Of soaring prices. "I
do not entertain the thought for Sec
ond that we have approximated the
limit Of our output from the soil,'' said
he. I'VE have not even reached the
end of the pioneering stage. We had
better frankly face the fact that we
are relatively inefficient. take stock of
our shortcomings and earnstly seek
the remedy. That we have practically
reached the stage where we have
ceased to be an exporting nation Of
food products and are becoming de-
pendent on foreign nations for the
necessaries of life is sad commentary
upon our use of the opportunities be-
slowed upon u.s."

cabinet who are attempting to induce
him to yield have been informed thsd!
there are certain measures congress
might adopt to which the Onite9
States would be unalterably opposed
and that if any plan devised by them
involves the convening of congress It
would be well to sign papers in which
should be set forth exactly what
measures this new lawmaking BODY
expects to pass upon and to see to It
that such measures ar are regarded by
Washington as Objectionable are ex-
cluded.
Rebels A Cheerful.
Nogales. Nov. 14.-An air Of cheerful
expectation was noticeable today about
headquarters of the constitutional
movement led by Venustiano Carranza.
The latter's adherents believed the
plans of the American administration
when fully revealed could not fail to be
of advantage to the cOnstitutiOnalist
cause. 1t was deemed virtually certain
that the embargo against the shipment
of arms and ammunition across the
border would be lifted soon.
In Touch With England.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Satisfaction
over the attitude Of Great Britain
was the chief basis for a feeling Of
optimism that eveloped the Mexican
situation in official circles today. 1t
became known that there had been
the frankest interchange of views be-
tween the United States and England
not only through Ambassador Page
abroad but in Washington as we'll.
Sir Edward Tyrell, private secre-
tary to Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary has during the ILL
ness of the British ambassador, Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, been active in get
ting the American viewpoint and 1t
is believed to have been largely in
strumental in the promotion of q
friendly understanding between
Washington and London. 1t is
thought also the interchange of views
with the United States has been made
known to the British representative
in Mexico City.

HE HAS THE GOODS.
Whitman Possesses Evidence Regard
ing Wire Tapping Graft.

New York, Nov. 14.-District Attor-
ney Whitman today confirmed the re-
port that he had obtained from a gang
of wire tappers confessions involving
the payment of graft for police protec-
ton to civilian in high authority at
police headquarters, police inspector
and at least two lieutenants. Many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, Mr..
Whitman said, had been obtained by
the swindlers under police protection.
Ten per cent of this sum and a fixed
retainer of 81, 500 a month, according to
the confessions, had been divided
among the police officials involved.
George McRae, confessor in chief of
the gang of five who have barred their
records to Mr. Whitman. is authority
for the statement that a Chicago wom-
an whose identity is known to the dis
trict attorney was fleeced out $4OO, 600
during several months by the gang in
this city and that the police received
10 per cent of this sum. McRae's con-
fession, Mr.. Whitman said, has been
corroborated in many essential details
by the other wire tappers, all of whom
are under Indictment for grand larceny.
Still more startling revelations are ex-
pected today in the confession of two
other wire tapperS.

MESSAGE TO Be SHORT
President Wilson Will Deliver 1t tt
Congress in Person.

Washington, Nov. 14-President Will
son has announced he will read in per-
son his first annual message to con-
gress. The president thus far has read
three brief addresses tariff, curren-
cy and the Mexican anairs-but 1t was
not definitely known whether his first
communication to the regular session
of congress would be in accordance
with the century-old precedent which
he revived last March.
Mr.. Wilson told inQuirers he had just
begun to work on the address and had
not decided just how many of the top
les dealt with in the annual reports
of cabinet members he would weave
into the document. He indicated that
no such long and voluminous message
as those heretofore sent by presidents
to congress will be prepared by him.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 14.-It is

Professor W. A. McKeever. head OF
the new department of child welfare
in the University of Kansas, who to-
day addressed the second days session
of the joint meeting here of the Kan

rections, the Kansas state society of
criminal law and criminology and the
association of probate judges.
Professor McKeever declared it
was "the clear and distinct duty OF
the community to supervise and CO.
ordinate the work of guiding and de-
veloping the youthful mind in the
home, the school, the church and
other institutions. AS a long step to-
ward the proper care of children he

nearly all may be developed into
worthy citizens.
among the duties Of the community
to the growing child are: The estab-
lishment of municipal Fairgrounds, the
censoring of picture shows and thea
ters, the clearing out of centers OF
vice.
THE community also must make
definite provision whereby every grow
ing child shall participate actively in
some form of industry, especially dur
ing vacations between school terms.
ITO show that the throwing of such
safeguards about the development Of
children is not a mere charitable work
but an economical asset it can be dem
onstrated beyond question that this
community activity exercises a marked
tendency toward advancing the price

DR.. ELI07'S Plan.
Profit Sharing the Only Solution to
Labor Problem, He Says.

Boston, Nov. 14.-"Profit sharing
seems to afford the only way out of
an intolerable condition of industrial
strife" is the opinion of President
Emeritus Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
university.
Democracy, plus the wage system,
has produced state of affairs in this
country which is into1erable," said DR..
Eliot in addressing the club of print
ing house craftsmen today.
1.-The two great forces of capital and
labor are organized into hostile camps,
both grown strong Something funda-
mental in it's nature must be done to
relieve the situation. The only way to
bring efficiency is to give the same
motives to both capital and labor. Pro-
fit sharing will make every man take
an interest in his work.

Sir Rufus Isaacs is very popular
with all classes throughout England,
all political factions with qualification.

lord chief justice:

on the bench, when it comes to be
reckoned, will be no less distinguished
than his astonishing career at the

The new lord chief justice is son
of the late Joseph Isaacs, one time
lord mayor Of London. After receiv-
ing fairly good education he went to
sea. Not liking this life, he became
broker on the stock exchange. Fail
ing here also he determined to be-
four.
Beginning the practice of law in
1887, his experience Of life, his keen
intelligence and his amiable character
soon won MIN success Work came to
him for which his knowledge and
abilities fitted him pre-eminently, and
his handling of commercial and finan-
clal cases earned for him a quickly
widespread reputation.
His mastery of stock exchange mat
ters and of figures made his prosecu-
ton of Whitaker Weight memorable.
Other cases in which he took part
were the trial of DR.. Krause, in which
he appeared for the defense, and the
Crippen trial.
