the largest ever given governor in
this state. And this plurality be re-
oeived was not according to "dope"
to use baseball phrase. The demo-
cratic candidate was supposedly 10
favor of prohibition, and this being
the case, ii was naturally supposed
that the "drys" in the republican
ranks would support Smith. But
they didn't. The returns show that

Another Murder Mystery in New
York.

New York, Nov. 25.-The assassi--
nation of Barnet Baff, characterized
by Coroner Feinberg as the culmina-
ton of the greatest conspiracy since
the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
| placed a real murder mystery in the
central Office today for solution.
Clews pointed many ways. The au-
thorities declared that the mystery
had so many ramifications that 1t
took on the aspects of Chinese puz-
zle.
The victim. well-to-do independ-
ent poultry dealer, was lured to his
death by decoy message given him
at s o'clock last night by young
man who entered his place Of bust
ness in Washington market. Two
shots. fired in the street, killed him.
Two men departed away to an auto
mobile and made off. The car had
not been located nor the men identi-
fled this afternoon. d:
Going over Bats past life in o
uest for clews, detectives learned that
he had been threatened many times
with violent death since he had testi-
fed for the State in a trial that sent
members of New York City's poultry
trust to prison several years ago.
In the relentless campaign waged
by his enemies, fires had been light
ed, bombs exploded, his horses pois-
oned, his son attacked and his chain,
of stores robbed.
One Of his neighbors was killed
by gunman, in mistake. 1t was be-
lieved, for Baff. Baff himself had
been SCARED for life by an assault
made on him by a thug armed with
a bottle.
The police worked on the theory
emies. One of these consisted of
those he made while warning against
the poultry trust; another of MEM
bers of the gang that robbed his
Harlem market, fve or whom were
sent to Sing Sing; third grew out
Of his differences with certain whole
sale dealers. who charged Baff had
tricked them by selling poultry at
wholesale and then underselling them
to retailers.
The fourth was of more recent
origin. Not long ago a number of
fowls shipped to New York for other
dealers were seized and condemned
because it was charged their crops
had been filled with gravel to add to
their weight. AS result of this a
numbed of men were thrown out Of

GREAT wheat
AREA FOR 1915
War Brings Need of Food
stuff Supply.
Largest Acreage In Worlds His
tory Predicted for Next
Year.

Washington, Nov. 2i.-The great
est wheat area in the worlds history
will be planted for the 1915 harvest
as result of the European war. is
the opinion of Charles NJ. Daugherty,
statistical expert of the Department
of Agriculture. In a report made
public to-day Mr.. Daugherty says:
LAS a result of the war in Europe.
worldwide tendency exists to in
crease the acreage of wheat. Doubt
less the most extensive area in the
history of the world will be seeded
during the present autumn and COM
ing spring. A prospective heavy de-
mand for this important food grain
by the importing countries of West
ern Europe is likely, If seeding con-
ditions favor. to give extraordinary
stimulus to sowing of both winter
and spring varieties in the two great
exporting countries of North America
and to those sowings now being fur
nished under auspicious circumstan-
ces in British India.
In the Southern Hemisphere seed
ing was completed before the war be-
gan. and the effect of economic condi-
tons upon extension of areas there
will be manifest only in the spring
and summer of 1915.
in Europe. where ordinarily over
half the worlds wheat is produced,
the indications are that all available
labor resources, in both neutral and
contendine nations, will be utilized
to the utmost for getting in full or
increased areas. In Italy. where
wheat acreage is ordinarily second
in extent to that of no State in Eu-
rope. excepting Russia. 100000
acres. 1T is said will be added to crop.
In the contending countries extra
ordinary efforts are being exerted in
autumn seeding. The services of
women and children, men exempt
from military service. refugees, pris-
oners of war and soldiers temporari-
ly relieved from the ranks are being
utilized in the fields as occasions per-
init and require. Because of strain
ed labor conditions and of the occu-
patton of certain territory during
seed time by contending troops, some
local contractions of area seem inc
vitable. The reduction, however. is
likely to be compensated by increas-
ed sowings in neutral nations.
I'm Western Europe, particularly
in England and France. the autumn
sowings of wheat are somewhat in
arrears, but as large part of these
countries is favored with a mild eli
mate, making sowing operations pos
sible at times during the entire win
ter. little anxiety is expressed over
the present delay. Reports from
Germany and other countries of Cen
trail Europe indicate that seeding OPP
erations have been carried on with
activity"

the utmost possible as to the availa-
bility OF the militia.
In case of foreign invasion by a
first-class power the minimum force
required for the support of our per-
manent coast defenses would be
three hundred thousand men. Our
available force of regulars amounts
to only six per cent of the army re-
quired for the early stages of a de-
fensive war. In respect of regulars
our military preparedness is as s to
100. Adding to the six per cent of
regulars a possible nineteen per cent
of militiamen our available strength
at the outset of such a war would be
to the necessary force as 25 is to 100
That is to say we are one-quarter
prepared.
This impressive warning does not
come from any alarmist. any ire
sponsible agitator. any interested

Plans to Test Anti-Pass Law.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 24.-The
mooted question whether the consti-
tutional provision that public officers
who ride on free passes shall forfeit
their Office is self-operative will be
presented before the court OF appeals
from Pike county before the next en-
eral Assembly meets.
Judge ]. NJ. Robertson, of Pike
Vile, who presides over the Pike
Letcher Circuit Court, was in Frank
fort Monday and said that FIVE Off
GERS in Pike have been indicted for
riding on passes. The Constitution
directed the General Assembly to en-
act law fixing penalty and says
those guilty of the offense shall for
felt their offices. The General AS
sembly never has enacted law car
rying it into effect.
/ Interest was aroused in the pro-
vision last winter when at the reun-
ion of the members of the last con-
stitutional convention Judge Carroll,
of the Court of Appeals. sounded a
warning to public officers that they
might find to their dismay that the
provision is self-operative and re-
quires no statutory enactment to
make it possible to remove anyone
from Office for this offense, though
he added that he was not expressing
an opinion on the subject.
