of the House Of Representative es-
tablished the same facts on the
sworn testimony of scores Of bank
ers and business men.
Out of many instances proven in
the Pujo investigation, it is shown
that the firm members or directors of
two banks and trust companies, con-
trolled by Morgan and Standard Oil,
together hold one hundred and
eighteen directorships in thirty four
banks, and thirty directorships in
ten insurance companies with re-
sources, deposits, and assets aggre-
eating nearly seven thousand million
dollars.
When the Owen-Glass bill was
pending in the Senate I offered the
following amendment:
No member of the federal reserve
board, and no director of federal
reserve hank, and no officer or direc-
ter O. any fuemDer bank shall be an
officer, director, or stakeholder Of
any other bank, trust company or in
surance company"
1t was defeated by the combined
votes of fOrty-three Democratic and
eight Republican Senators. 1t was
supported by twenty-eight Republi-
can and by two Democratic Senator's.
This amendment, if adopted,
would have freed the new banking
law from the vice of interlocking
directors.

Legalizing the Money Power"

CO HE President, in his message
of December second, urging
prompt action on the Curren-
cs Bill, described the country
as waiting with Impotence
"for something fundamental to it's
whole business life and necessary to
set credit free from arbitrary and
artificial restraints
The thing that the President urged
has been done, and he now offers his
new currency law as the great Act
of Emancipation, which is to liberate
business and free credit from the
slavery of this arbitrary and artiff-
cial power.
The law as enacted sets up an
elaborate scheme, the central pur-
pose of which is to provide an ele-

TREATMENT FOR
GAPES IN CHICKS
To Eradicate Disease, Affected
Birds Should Be Isolated
Burn All Dead Fowls.
CBy Fl. L. KEMPSTER. Missouri Expert
ment Station.)

(By Fl. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Expert
ment Station.)
Gapes is disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. 1t is caused by
a small worm, called the cape worm,
which attaches itself to the windpipe
of it's victim.
The SYMPTOMS are frequent gaping,
sneezing, a whistling cough, with dis
charge of mucus and worms, dumpish-
ness, weakness and dropping of wings.
Dead birds will show forked worms at
tached to the windpipe.
The adult female cape worm is much
larger than the male, her body being
filled with eggs and embryos. These
embroys appear in the droppings OF
are coughed up. So the trouble is
spread by contamination of runs, feed
and drinking water. Embroyos are
often found in earthworms.
To eradicate the disease, isolate af
fected birds, treat drinking water with
potassium permanganate; burn dead
birds and remove chicks to fresh
ground which is not infected. Cultiva.
ton of infected ground is said to eradi
cate the worms in three years.
Individual cases may be treated in
one of three ways:
By combining the chick for short
time in box which has air-slaked lime
on the floor. The lime is said to cause
the worm to release it's grip and the
chick to sneeze it out.
Stripping a feather, leaving small
tuft, moistening with turpentine AND
introducing into the windpipe, care be
ing taken not to lacerate the windpipe
or suffocate the chick.
Two horse hairs tied together, the
knot trimmed, run down the chickens
throat and removing in twisting man
ner will also remove the worms. Cape
worm extractors are also on the mar.
ket.

Federal Troops Defending Tampico.
towards the north, closely pursued by
the federal cavalry and how when
night fell December Is, fully 1,S0O
rebels lay dead along the route of
their flight. One account, sent out by
a gullible correspondent, stated that
the buzzards which inhabit the Mexi-
can coast and which for generations
have been protected by law, floated
today over the battlefields in numbers
so great as to present the appearance
of low-lying black clouds" Which
prompted another correspondent to re-
mark that the ''low-lying' was all
right, but he doubted the buzzards and
the black clouds, for as matter OF
fact, it is we'll known that the buzz
yards won't eat dead Mexicans, and
you can hardly blame them.
General Arzamendi, one of the fed
eral commanders at Tampico, said
later that the reports placing the num-
Der of rebels killed in the attack at
more than 1000 were not exaggerated.
as he saw piles of SO and more rebel
corpses in many places on the battle
field and that at least 1900 were
wounded. These statements were
made for the newspapers and we're
published with big headlines here.
From several Americans who were
within the rebel lines, during the bat
tie, but who took no part in the en-
gagement, and had no interest in it
except as spectators, another story is
obtained. These Americans are con-
nected with various oil companies in
Tampico and may be considered i'm
partial witnesses. Their stories were
obtained at different times and agreed
wonderfully well.

on the ground and saw ell that went
on, not more than 500 Carranzistas
were engaged in the attack on Tam
pico from start to finish. Their losses
for the three days were seven men
killed and 43 wounded! The federal
losses were SO killed and 21I
wounded.
Il was at one of the oil refineries
in Dona Cecilia on the morning of De-
cember 10, when the attack began"
said one of the oil men to the writer.
Two hundred and fifty cavalrymen
rode out from Tampico that morning
and stopped at the refinery to eat
their breakfast. 1t was about nine
o'clock when they were eating and
they were about half through break
fast when two of their men who had
been sent out to watch for rebels
that the rebels were coming. The
two men never stopped moment,
but dashed on towards Tampico. In
stantly those ESQ cavalrymen were
going for their horses and mounting
and as fast as they mounted they
went off helter-skelter for Tampico
In less than two minutes not one was
left at the refinery.
Fifteen minutes later 20 Carranzis-
tas under General Castro came rid
ing in. They had their carbines rest
ing over the pommels of their saddles
and were looking about keenly for
federals, but they were not in any
formation. They simply struggled in.
When they reached the refinery they
asked if any federals were about. We
told them that the federals had gone
to Tampico. So they dismounted and
ate their breakfast, using some of
the food which the federals had left
behind in their haste to get away.
while they were eating they heard
the whistle of locomotive and saw

germs to be spread by buzzards, dogs
and other carrion eaters.
Burial of the bodies is satisfactory
only when the are sprinkled with
quicklime and buried at depth or
three to four feet. Many herds have
been wiped out by disease carried
into their ranges by proving dogs
through the fields.
There are no breeds of hogs that
are immune from the cholera. There
are certain individuals among a herd
that show great resistance to the dis
ease, but they are few in number
So far the efforts of breeders to pro-
duce such strain have been failures.
AS to rearing, feeding and caring for
a herd so farefully that cholera germs
cannot hurt them, it is impossible.
Anything moved from an infected
farm to a place that is not infected
may carry the seeds of the disease
Of course hogs are most apt carry
it, but the utmost precautions should
be taken that no animals, implements
or foodstuffs should be brought from
an infected place and left where the
hogs might be exposed to contact
with them. Sick hogs are the most
common of disease carriers.
State veterinarians are always
anxious to be informed Of the out
breaks of cholera. The sooner they
know of it the better chance they
have of keeping it isolated in one com
munity. 1t is a duty that every hog
raiser owes to himself and neighbors,
to get word to the proper authorities
as soon as possible that the necessary
steps may be taken.

of Police Alcala of Dona Cecilia. He
had been very active in arresting
rebel sympathizers and so when the
rebels came. they took him and exc
cuted him as warning to others.
General Castro sent that same little
dried up Texas-Mexican to take the
chief of police. The little rebel went
to the chiefs house and found 1t
locked. The chief was rolled up In
mattress. The little rebel had to hit
him over the head with the handle of
six-shooter, for the chief made
little resistance, but he was taken
easily enough. That night he was
shot on the plaza.

No., he said, we haven't even had
a real fight; but we have all we came
for and so we are going away. We
may come back again before a long
time and take the city, if we want it,
but that depends on orders from Car
rama
1.-TWO messengers came to General
Castro while the shooting was going
on. They were sent by Admiral
Fletcher with a letter. The letter
quoted clause from The Hague arbi-
tration tribunal agreement that "a
hours notice must be given before n
city may be bombarded according to
civilized warfare. 1t also said that
there must be neutral ground where
the non-combatants could gather In
safety, and suggested that the main
plaza of Tampico and radius of two
blocks from 1t be considered such
ground. 1t further said that foreign
property must be respected and not
fired upon.
General Castro had the letter trans
lated, although he can read English.
Then he answered it, saying that as
the United States did not recognize
the revolution, he did not feel bound
by rules of civilized warfare and
would use his own judgment what to
do He added, however, that Carranza
had given instructions to respect for
eign property as much as possible, and
that he would respect those orders"
After story like the above, told in
plain, direct fashion by an impartial
witness, and backed I'D by others who
were on the ground. it is pretty hard
to picture that battlefield strewn with
a thousand rebel corpses and with
"low-lying black clouds of vultures
lowering over it."

Using Their Old Stamps.

At all seasons of the year, but more
particularly at holiday time, letters
are held up by the postal authorities
because they have been stamped with
foreign postage. Apparently many
newcomers bring a supply of their
own country's stamps to America, and
either through ignorance or careless
ness they stick them on the first let
tiers they write.
Naturally these letters travel no
further than the first postal station.
After that they suffer the delay of all
mail held up for insufficient postage.
The addressee is notified that mail
is lying in the New York postoffice
and that it will be forwarded upon
receipt of the required postage. In
case of foreign-bound letters a tedious
and expensive process is necessary to
get them to their destination.

FEW PRINCIPLES
OF BEE-KEEPING
Essence of All Profitable Work Is
to Keep the Colonies Strong
and Vigorous.

The Importance of scientific aplcul-
ture is being slowly but surely recog-
nized With wider knowledge OF the
part bees play in the pOllination OF
fruit blossoms and the spread of rural
education generally, Bookkeeping can
not any longer be regarded as merely
a hobby, but as one of the most I'M
portant of the minor branches of the
science of agriculture.
Although conditions differ, the pr1n-
ciples of Bookkeeping are the same the
world over. The following axioms
should be noted
1. Bees gorged with honey never
volunteer an attack.
2. Bees may always be made
peaceable by inducing them to accept
liquid sweets.
8. Bees when frightened by smoke
fill themselves with honey and lose
all disposition to sting, unless they
are hurt.
4. Bees dislike any quick move
ments about their hive, especially any
motion which jars their combs.
5. In districts where forage is
abundant only for a short period, the
largest yield of honey will be secured
by a very moderate increase of colo
MES.
6. A moderate increase in colonies
in any one season will, in the long
run prove to be the easiest, safest and
cheapest mode of managing bees.
z. A queenless colony, unless sup
piled with queen, will inevitably
dwindle away or be destroyed by the
wax moth or by robber bees.
8. The formation of new colonies
should ordinarily be confined to the
season when bees are accommodating
honey, and if this or any other opera
ton must be performed when forage
is scarce the greatest precautions
should be used to prevent robbing.
The essence of all profitable bee
keeping is contained in the one golden
rule: Keep the colonies strong" II
anyone cannot succeed in doing this
the more money he invests in bees the
heavier will be his losses, while If his
colonies are strong he will prove
bee-master as we'll as a bee-keeper,
and may safely calculate on a gener-
GUS return from his industrious sub
jects.

No matter how healthy and vigor-
watch for news of a possible out
break of the cholera anywhere in
your neighborhood.
The sturdiest hogs will curl up and
die when the germs of this hog pest
are introduced into their system.
Clean quarters, pure water, dry quar-
ters and good breeding are worth
while for themselves, but they will not
keep cholera out of herd.
The only preventive of cholera is
the serum treatment. Most states
are preparing a serum for their farm
ers, says an Illinois writer in the
Farm Progress. All should do So
The state veterinarian is the man you
should appeal to as soon as the
cholera appears in your neighborhood
It makes no difference whether the
disease is among your hogs or not
It may be, and that very soon, unless
1t is checked.
When cholera gets among hogs on
my place l separate the healthy from
those that are ailing just as quickly
as l can. The next move is to notify
the state agricultural college, or its
nearest experiment station.
While waiting for expert relief,
either at the hands of the state ex-
perts or some local veterinarian, the
hogs should be watched, and any new
cases that develop should cause the
well part of the herd to be moved
once more.
OF course. all animals that die of
cholera should be burned as quickly
as is convenient. Leaving them lying

Senator each" Chandler.

One hundred years ago Zacharlah
Chandler. a conspicuous figure in pub
lie life a generation ago, was born
in Bedford, N. H. At the age OF
twenty he moved to Detroit, where
he amassed fortune in the dry goods
business. He helped to organize the
Republican party in 1854 and three
years later was elected to the United
States senate to succeed Gen. Lewis
Cass. In the senate he became con-
spicuously identified with the anti
slavery cause, and with Simon Cam
eron and Benjamin F. Wade, drew
up a secret agreement for each OF
these three personally to resent any
attack by a southern senator on
northern member for words spoken IN
debate. Mr.. Chandler remained in the
senate 10 years. From 1875 to 1871
he was in President Grants cabinet as
secretary of the interior. In Chicago,

litieal speech, he was found dead III

Castro called to one of his men, a
little fellow about five feet tall,
dried up little Mexican who 1 learned
later was from Texas, and told him
to go over to the station and stop the
train. The station was about 500 feet
away. The little Texas-Mexican
jumped on his horse and trotted to
the station. He reached there just as
the train was pulling in. He pointed
his rifle at the engineer and told him
to stop. The engineer stopped and
started to back the train, but the lit
tie rebel wouldn't have that. He
made the engineer stop the engine
and get out of the cab. BY that time
all the passengers were piling out of
the train and getting away as fast
as they could in every direction.
There were nine federal volunteer
guards on that train, but they left
their rifles and cartridge belts and
their uniform caps in the cars and
got away with the passengers as fast
as they could. The conductor and 9TH
er trainmen escaped, too. Finally
General Castro sent two or three 9th
er men over to the station and they
