MlssouRIs CUSTER STANDS
Superme Court of State Upholds Orig
inal Order.

Jefferson City, Mo.--The Missouri SUI
preme court refused to modify the j'idg-
ment of custer against the Standard Oil
Company and the original order ousting
the company from the state now stands.
The original order was issued more than
four years ago.
The opinion Of the court was not
unanimous, however, Chief Justice Lamm
and Judge Woodson dissenting. The
decision was concurred in by five judges.
The dissenting judges held that to
oust the Standard Oil Company from
the state would leave the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company in control Of the business
in Missouri. Henry Clay Pierce recently
purchased all the holdings of the Rookie
feller interests in the Waters-Pierce
Company.
The petition to modify the custer or
der of four years ago was oyerruled be-
cause the time limit for such action has
expired. The custer Judgment has been
affirmed by the supreme court OF the
United States. The company paid . fns
Of $4,000, but asked to be allowed TO
do business in the state on condition
that it comply with the laws.

DIARY FEATURE OF TRIAL
May Solve Mystery in Death of Wealthy
Soap Maker.

Salem, Mass.-A diary, alleged % con-
tain record of the death of George
E. Marsh, written some hours before the
body of the wealthy soap manufactures
of Lynn was found on the West Lynn
marshes, April IL, 1912, will figure in
the trial of William A. Dorr.
The state viii attempt to show that
Dorr mailed this journal to an aunt in
California, and that through this action
the police obtained the first clew to the
alleged perpetrator of the crime. Other
circumstances, including a legacy Of
$1OO,O which was to go to this aunt
in 1914 or earlier, in event Of Marsh's
death, lend peculiar interest to the
mysterious affair.
Over 100 witnesses have been sum-
moned and the prosecutions case, built
largely on crcumstantial evidence, wiD
be stoutly contested.

S. Merely Taking Pre-
cautions.

Washington.-As a result of an early
Wednesday morning conference at the
White House, three additional battle
ships will be sent to the east coast Of
Mexico and orders will be issued at once
for the immediate placing in commission
of two army transports for the transport
of troops to Mexico City for the pro-
lection of the lives of Americans and
foreigners, should the situation there
grow any worse.
'At a conference held by the presi-
dent with the three secretaries, secre-
taries of state, war and navy, il was not
believed that the news from tho City of
Mexico required any action Of an af-
firmative character other than to order
thres more battleships to Vera Cruz.
These, including the one ordered to Tam

gulf side of Mexico or one division of
the fleet under the command of an adj

The first brigade of the First Army

ANNOUNCE CABINET MARCH 4
President-elect Wilson Follows 0ld-Fash-
ioned Method.

Princeton, N. J.--President-elect Viii
son announced definitely Wednesday
that he would not make public the
names of his cabinet until he sent them
to the senate for confirmation March 4.
'I will follow the good old-fashioned
method" he said, "and not make any
announcement until the names OF the
cabinet members are sent to the senate. "
Mr.. Wilson's remarks were occasioned
by the publication of reports from Wash
ington that he would announce his cab
met. He said there was absolutely no
truth or authority for the reportss
Mr.. Wilson, it is indicated, will ask
the men to whom portfolios are offered,
to regard the information as confiden-
tial. He believes also, it is said, that ne
ought not make any important announce
ments until he is actually president. A
premature announcement from outside
sources, however, it was admitted, may
upset the governors plans.

ON COTTON PLANTING.
Prof. Kicks of Agricultural College Gives
Results of Experiments.

Agricultural College-Prof. Ricks, of
the College Experiment Station, has
been doing some interesting work in de-
termining the width of rows for cotton.
The general idea that has prevailed Is
that the rows should be very wide apart,
especially under boil weevll conditions.
ne found in 1911 that the cotton
planted in three-foot rows made the lar
gest yield. In 1912 the yield is slightly
in favor of she three and one-half- foot
rows. In 1911 the yield in three-foot
rows was 1925. Three and one-half-foot
rows 1,4ss, four and one-half-foot rows
1,346, and fve-foot rows 1921. In 1912
the fields had a few weevils.
Earliness plays an important part now
in the production of cotton. He finds in
his plot work that three-foot rows gave
the heaviest yield on the first picking.
Almost the same results have been
found at the DsIta Experiment Station
and the work of the Louisiana and Texas
Experiment Stations practically confirm
these tests.

Mexico Sity.--Hostilities were re-
sumed with redoubled iereeness in the
Mexican capital after q truce which
lasted only a few hours.
The armistice signed at 2 o'clock Sum
day morning by the representatives of
both sides agreeing to suspend opera
tions for "a hours, was broken before
noon. Soon the sound of heavy cannon
aiding and the whirr of machine guns
announced the return of the federal
troops to their posts in front Of the ar
senal.
It appeared as if the words OF Madero
and Diaz might prove prophetic, and
that this time the battle would be to o
finish.
President Madero reiterated his re-
fusal to comply with the suggestion of
the senators that he resign. He declared
that he was still able to dominate and
that, if given time, he would crush the
rebel forces.
The strongest censorship on all dis
patches has been established here. Gov

their papers.
Code messages and all messages con-
tanning any expressions whatever that
might be construed into suggestion OF
the important happenings in the capital
came under the ban and were promptly
confiscated by the censor and his assist
ants.
Nevertheless, sWcIal dispatches of q
somewhat detached nature escaped tbs
vigilance of the censorship and an early
bulletin was flashed through that the
armistice, signed at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning, had been broken, and that both
sides were lighting sayageiy.
The Mexican government was unable,
however, to shut off the official dis
patches OF the diplomatic represents
siyes, but as these are sent in cipher,
considerable delay is being experienced
because of the time. occupied in transla-
ton.
British minister Francis w. Stronge
had remarkable escape from federal
bullets while on his way TO 9 conference
at the American embassy on Saturday.
The automobile in which Mr.. Stronge
was riding, escorted by federal guard,

Jackson.-Toney Higgins, the first
white man sentenced to die on the gal

solely because Of the provisions which
would lock the doors of the United

retary Nagel denodncing the literacy
test as radical provision "based upon

which is not calculated to reach the
truth and to find relief from a danger
which really does not exist"

weevils Damags cgtton in pelts.


Jackson.-There is no prospect that
the boil weevil depredations in the
Delta will not equal those in other sec
tions of the cotton belt, according TO
DR.. w. D. Hunter, entomologist of the
United States department of agricult-
ure, in charge of Southern field crop in
vestigations.
DR.. Hunter attaches little seriousness
to the thtory that cold weather will min
imize the ravages of the pest; that the
weevil has advanced to a northward
stage where its work win be lessened be-
cause of climatic conditions. He says
that for the past three seasons the wee
vii has been checked by low tempera-
lures, and the insects are having hard
time adapting themselves SO that they
will be able to breed in considerable
numbers north of Vicksburg, but at the
same time it is evident that process
of adaptation is going on, and more
hardy weevils are being developed each
season. This naturally will result in a
race of weeyils which will be able to
undergo lower temperatures than the In
sect has hitherto experienced.
1t is also the belief of DIR. Hunter
that the humidity of the Delta coun-
try viii act as an advantage to the wee
vii rather than as detriment.
The humidity prevents the drying out
of the squares when they fall to the
ground, and it is through the rapid dry
ing Of fallen squares that millions Of
weevils are killed each year.

snow is an excellent substitute for
eggs either In puddings or pancakes.
Two large spoonfuls viii supply the
Dlace of one egg. and the article It is
used in will be equally good. This is
useful. as snow often falls at the
season when eggs are the highest in
price. The snow may be taken up
from any clean spot before 1t is want
ed. and will not lose its virtue. though
the sooner it is used the better. The
yolks and whites Of eggs beaten long
and separately make the article they
are put into much lighter.
