but even these ravagers of beauty
could not rob her features of their
loveliness. Great blue eyes and gold
en- curls enhanced the fairy-like deli
cacy Of her face. and though III clad
she possessed the bearing OF prin-

post at the window and, opening the
door, listened ~ II expecting to hear
familiar footsteps ascending the
stairs.
When 1t was almost dark and lights

meath the hook driven In the closet
door from which an exceedingly
shabby coat and weather.beaten hat
were suspended. BY this means she
was able to reach the garments and
was soon attired for the street. Run

the city and the heavens. Just above
the horizon cleaned single star Of
wondrous brilliancy. and the child. en-
raptured by its beauty, forgot that

whispered: 1T is the star Of Bethle-

Hearings on Habeas Corpus and His
Right to Bail

Concord. n. H.. Feb. 20.-Harry K
Thaw's fight for liberty was renewed
before Federal Judge Edgar Aldrich
today.
There were two points at issue
the discharge Of the prisoner on q writ
Of habeas corpus. thus preventing his
extradition to New York state as q
fugitive from Justice, the alleged Of
fense being conspiracy to escape from
the insane asylum at Matteawan-and
the right Of Thaw to bail pending the
disposition OF his case by the federal
courts.
The opening argument on the
habeas corpus petition was made by
former Governor Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, who held that his client was
not subject to extraditfOn ON the
charge In the indictment found against
him in New York. ThaW appeared at
the hearing In company with his
mother. Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw: his
sister. Mrs Whitney, the latter's hus-
band, ana the two officers who are
responsible for his safekeeping.

Town in Oregon.

Salem. Ore, Feb. 20.-Governor West
will send Miss Fern Hobbs, his secre-
tary, to Cove. q small town In eastern
Oregon. to clean up" the place as Cop
perfield was cleaned up" according to
announcement which he made today.
Governor West says that at recent
election Cove was voted dry but that
the saloons continue business because
officials have refused to declare the
result of the election.
"I have had my eye on Cove for some
time," the governor said. but the
thing which decided me to act was the
receipt of a letter from a woman who
lives there and whose husband il being
ruined by drink Notwithstanding her
appeals to the saloon men not to sell
him liquor"
Conditions in Copperfield were SINH
lar to those said to exist in Cove. Sa-
looms were closed as a result Of recent
visit Of Miss Hobbs For a time Cop
perfield virtually was under martial
law and Governor West has been made
defendant in damage suits filed by the
dispossessed saloon men.

Secretary Daniels Takes Pity ON Ad-

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Secretary
Daniels took cognizance today Of the
domestic hardship Of naval officers
who are away from home for a pro-
longed period. The secretary sent a
wireless to Rear Admiral Fletcher, at
Vera Cruz, asking him If he would
like to see his family and when the
admiral replied, Mrs. Fletcher and
her two daughters with only a few
hours preparation, left on the presi-
Dental yacht Mayf1ower, which sailed
today for Mexican waters.
Both President Wilson and Secre-

attorney for the Kansas City Gas COM
pary and the Kansas City Pipe Line
company, asked Judge Smith McPher-
son in the federal court here today
that the Kansas City Gas company he
permitted to pay for gas consumed
not the Kansas State receivers, put

the case under advisement.
Judge Mcpherson, January "a, had
ordered the discharge of all except
one of the federal receivers of the
Kansas Natural and the affairs OF the
company in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Missouri turned over to the state re-
ceivers appointed by the Montgomery

TooM MUCH I Ou|shNESS |!
Ihes + suase roll IS sharp Reproof
oa Badne}s Case.

There has been Zoo much foolish
neso In this case" Ndge John c. Pol
lock told the lawyer& in the George s.
Badders Bankruptcy ease today, as he
indicated that he W4uld himself bring
the case to q snd91n termination il
further delays occu&1d. Judge Pollock
stated that BaddsxN must testify and
he gave attorneys "a the case until
Saturday noon to zach an amicable
agreement before iqling q final order
on Judge SloneckeFX citation in con-
tempt.
According to repats received from
Kansas City today, 3udge Pollock in
sisted that he wou1 not tolerate fur
ther technical delays In the involun-
tary bankruptcy pr4ceedings against
Badders. He adviao& the lawyers that
he was a busy MAJ and had already
heard too much abGqt the case. that
the delays were caNpfna criticisms OF
the federal court procedures and con-
cluded with the remark that there has
been too much fooliaIness In this case.''
Badders must testify before Judge
SlOnecker regarding his financial at
fairs, Judge Pollock held. II further
delays are insisted upon. the federal
judge indicated that he would bring the
case to speedy terninafion. -,
Just what action 3udge Pollock will
take If another delay IL sought by Bad
ders' attorneys. was not Indicated. In
Topeka this afternoon 1t is believed
that there Is q possibility that Judge
Pollock may call special jury to try
out the merits Of the Bankruptcy pro-
ceedings and to gather facts as to Bad
ders' financial standinE and disposition
Of his assets.
The court did not Indicate a desire
or tendency to interfere in the existing
receivership and told Badders' attor-
neys that additional bond would be re-
Quired of creditors IL there was dissat-
isfaction on the part Of the alleged
bankrupt.
1t is probable that an agreement will
be reached between the attorneys some
time today and that Badders Will be
called to the witness stand In Judge
Sloneckcr's bankruptcy court early

CANAL IS SAFE.
Col. Goethals Says No Enemy Could
Harm the Big Ditch.

Washington. Feb. 20.-Colonel Goeth-
ais said today that barring unforeseen
accidents the Panama canal will be
open for merchant ships July 1. The
colonel added that he had always been
opposed to the exemption of American
coastwise shipping from the payment of
tolls. because that would decrease the
revenue Of the canal and in his opinion
would not accrue to the benefit of con-
sumers, but hereby increase profits of
the ship owners. The colonel declined
to discuss its legal aspect or its bear
ing on treaty relations.
1.-The canal fortifications are entirely
adequate" said the canal builder, 'and
do not think there is the slightest
danger of the canals being captured
by any enemy. for 1t would not be pos
sible for such a force to get near
enough.
II am not in politics and do not in
tend to dabble in it," said the colonel.
when 1t was suggested that some Of his
friends were booming him for the gov
ernorship of New York. He was non
committal when questioned concerning
his acceptance Of the much discussed
New York police commissionership.
IT have nothing to say on that SUBJ
ject," was his only comment.

harmony between him and Louis w.
Hill. son OF James J. Hil, regarding
the railroads policies Gray formerly
was vice president of the Frisco In

president of tho Great Northern IN
1912.
1t Is believed by those who have
been watching the Frisco's finances
that the road will be out of the hands
OF receivers not later than the end Of
this year and possibly much sooner.
The Frisco is now without a president.

WARNING IS SENT
Rock Island Advises Against
Kansas Seed Corn.
Message to All Kansas From
Topeka Today.

A warning is issued from Topeka b.
H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commits
sioner Of the Rock Island Lines to Kan
sas farmers against the use OF local
seed corn in the state. A large PAM
phlet has been printed and distributed
in towns all along the Rock Island
Lines.
The warning is the result of a con-
ference between Rock Island officials
in Topeka, the state bankers associa-
tfon and the state bank commissioner.
1t follows:
The condition Of the farm seeds is
bad. There Is little good seed in south
ern Nebraska, in Kansas. Missouri.
Oklahoma or northern Texas. Corn
raised in 1913 in Kansas and Missouri
is generally unsafe to plant and much
Of the 1912 crop shows weak germina-
ton. Along the east and west line of
the Rock Island in Oklahoma there Is
considerable good seed corn, but none
at all in many counties both north and
south. Thousands of bushels Of kafir
were allowed to rot in shock and stack
and there is not enough kafir seed to
shortage of milo. Cotton seed is more
scarce in Oklahoma than any other
seed. Spanish peanut seed is SO scarce
that not over half of the usual acreage
can be planted.
"A search for good seed should be

Often a crop matured in 1913 on q field
OF bottom land or on field that has
had shower at the right time. Farm
ers and business men should join ir
finding sufficient good seed and inform
ing those who need seed where they car

Every man who expects to plant
seed this year should arrange for good
seed now.
The nearer good seed has been
grown to the field where it is planted
the better will be the yield. Secure

possible; If not, then get seed grown in
your part of the state. Never plant
seed grown farther south than your
own farm. In Iowa, seed corn secured
from another county yielded IL bushels
an acre lesi than home grown seed. In
Nebraska choice seed from another
state yielded nine bushels of corn an
acre less than home grown seed. In
Texas home grown seed corn yielded
IL bushels an acre more than good seed
