With Dreyfus Affair

Amiens, France, January 19.-Gen. Marie
Georgs Picquart. 60 years old, commander
of the second French army corps. who
was a prominent figure in the Dreyfus
case, died here today
General Picquart regarded corr ectly a.,
one of the most brilliant officers of tas
French army and rose to high rank at a
very early age.
He was an Alsatian by birth. His skin
as a linguist coupled with his ability as
soldier led to his appointment to the
general staff
1t was while serving there that Pic
quart discovered the unwise forgery which
had brought about the condemnation of
Dreyfus to the horrors of Devils Island
Picquart thereupon became one of the
most enthusiastic appellants for a re-
vision of the judgment on Dreyfus
His zeal in this respect led to his arrest

evidence.
In spite of the court decision in his

unjustly condemned.

AGRICULTURAL BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Leader Underwood Sup
ports Measure in Wig
OrOus Speech

Washington, January 19-(Special.) }
The Lever agricultural extension bill
passed the House this afternoon by
a big majority. Mr.. Underwood threw
his support to the bill and declared
in a three minute speech "the agri-
cultural department had been perform
ing wonders for the farmers of the
country in past years through teaching
scientific methods of the cultivation of
the soil. but that it was getting time
that they get the full benefit of the
methods by a practical application oi
them and demonstrations given by ex-
perts.
THE carrying out of the provisions
of the bill" he declared, would be
an esteemable value to the agricultural
interests of the United States"
Both Representatives Blackmon and
Dent were ready to offer resistance to
the passage of the Lever agricultural
extension bill today 1t was the pur-
pose of Mr.. Blackmon to make speech
In opposition to the BILL but before do
ing so he had a conference with Rep
resentative Lever and a compromise
was agreed to.
Mr.. Lever and his associates on the
committee agreed to an amendment that
was satisfactory to Mr.. Blackmon and
those who agreed with him.
The amendment provided that moth
ing in the bill shall be construed to
discontinue or interfere with the farm
cooperation demonstration work as
now conducted by the department of
agriculture through the bureau of plant
industry.
Mr.. Blackmon succeeded in defeating
a similar bill in the last Congress by
offering substantially the same amend
ment he succeeded in getting inserted
in the bill passed today. His contention
was that the bill unamended as above
would materially hamper the farm dem
onstratfons work as now being con-
Quoted. Mr. Blackmon declared that the
late Dr. Knapp was the greatest friend
the farmer ever had. and that his poll
cies ought to be continued"
As 1t passed the House the bill would
provide for an immediate appropria-
tion of $4S0,000, of which $4,000 would
go to each state complying with the
requirements of the law This appro-
priation would be increased by 100000
each year for nine years, and after
ten-year period would become a per-
manent annual appropriation of $4,000
600
The bill was called up by Representa-
tive Lever of South Carolina and with
more than an hours debate was rushed
through.
