nation IS CALLED To
arms IN HOGS Behalf
Insidious Workings of New Lobby
Pointed Out to Representative
White by Editor.
HIS PLEA WILL BE HEARD

Representative George Deacon White.
of Ohio. is showing his friends in the
House Just how the hog cholera lobby is
working for the bill now pending de-
signed to give the Department of Agri-
culture complete authority to stamp out
the plague among the porkers. Mr..
White has a constituent out in Ohio and
an editor who stands close to him in
many ways. To this editor came PUT
Sandles. most ardent exponent of the pro-
jected law, with the plea that he Get
George busy for the hawg cholera bill I"
The editor is a friend of the Repre-
sentative so this is. in part. the form
which his letter took:
Dear George: Put Sandles has be-
come all het up over this hog cholera
matter and after reading one Of his full

II had n sort of an idea that the white
plague that is killing OF a few million
people a year or a month, which ever II
is, was about the worst thing We had to
contend with in this country, but no, a
thousand times no. Make 1t two thou
sand IL you want to. For frightful de-
struction and stupendous havoc and gi-
gantic loss-of money-the hog cholera

because there are plenty more where they
came from. Not SO with the hogs. They
are bringing from 91-2 to l01-4 cents in
Pittsburgh today and the visible supply
is limited.
Conservation of our national re-
sources, currency tariff. flood protec-
ton and the nations health pale be-

Mr.. White said last night he would
probably vote for the bill when IL came
to his attention, but he feared his edi-
torial friend was disposed TO be some
what insincere in his Endorsement OF
the hog cholera measure.

H. PARKER WILLIS, WHO WILL REVISE RURAL
CREDITS LAW, SILENT ON OWN ACHIEVEMENTS

especially impressed by the land banks Of
Germany and the cooperative societies Of
France and Italy, and reported in favor
OF the rural credit idea.
1t is possible under the new bill for
the farmers to combine their spare
money and form a small company or
bank with a limited capital, of. say s10.-
900. This society is authorized to deal
in mortgages up to fifteen times its paid
up capital and to issue bonds on the
mortgages. The security is the land.
No money is to be loaned to farmers
merely for the purchase of buzz wag-
ons," or for sending Henry to College.
II must be shown that the money loaned
actually goes back to the land in form
of fertilization. or of drainage, or build
ings or some permanent improvement.
With the agricultural part of the meas
ure Mr.. Willis has had nothing to do,
as men who are familiar with practical
farming have gone over that ground
with thoroughness. He will be expected
to devise a system by which the small
companies can be handled to the best
advantage, and their bonds placed on
the market. He Is now preparing to take
up this task and has the appearance of
man who has discovered some espe-
cially interesting nut to crack and is
looking forward to the encounter with
enthusiasm.
Made Study of Finance.
Mr.. Willis is forty years old. He is a
native Of Weymouth, Mass, but has
Travelled far and wide since he did his
first sums in the schools of the Old Bay
State. He was graduated from the West
ern Reserve University at Cleveland,
Ohio. and also studied at the University
of Chicago. He had special courses in
the University of Leipzig and the Univer-
sity of Vienna. where he was interested
in history and economics.
On his return to this country he spent
several years as a professor of economics
at Washington and Lee University. His
attention was attracted by the more
vigorous atmosphere of newspaper work.
and for time he was an editorial writer
on the Evening Post and later went to
the Journal OF Commerce. While in
Washington he was professor OF finance
at George Washington University and at
the same time attended to his duties as
financial correspondent.
He now makes his headquarters on
Staten Island, where large quantities OF
chickens and appropriations are raised.
He retails his interest in academic af-
fairs by being a professor of economics
at Columbia University, where his lectures
are popular with students who contem-
plate a business career. Mr.. Willis is
the author of several standard books on
finance, among which are 1.-THE Report
of the Monetary Commission" THE His
tory of the Latin-American Monetary
Union" and THE Principles Of Modern
Banking"

of corn and wheat. better vegetables.
more stock feed and lower prices.
For a number of years past the coun-
try At large has not enjoyed such
general SHOWS as have whitened the
countryside during the months of Feb
ruary and March Of this year.
DR.. Jay A. Bonesteel. Of the Bureau
Of Soils. said tonight:
IF this snow blanket will only take
its time In departing we will have .
better crop start this year than for
several seasons. To date conditions
could be hardly more ideal
In the corn belt where there was con-
siderable depletion of the crop through
too persistent drought last season the
snow will prove Of Incaluable benefit
The corn belt ought to have a splendid
start Snow Is a splendid insurance
against drought, not complete, of course.
but immensely valuable.

MERCY ME, A CABLEGRAM!
Midnight Message from Yellow Sea
Asks for -s.Baby Things"

Mrs. John r. Williams, wife of Col.
Williams, u. S A., will leave her apart
ments in the Connecticut this morning
for a shopping tour that is to be devoted
entirely to the purchase of baby things"
for her grandchildren now on the yacht
Niagara somewhere in the Yellow Sea
Mrs. Williams has just received a cable
gram from her daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Letter, who declares she simply must"
have the articles listed. The purchases
are to be carried to Mrs. Letter by Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine Elkins, who soon will
join the Letters on their tour around the
world.
Before leaving Washington several
months ago. Mrs. Letter bought what
she considered a sufficient supply of
baby things" but her estimate was not
accurate. She found herself in need OF
about S worth Of ribbons, powders,
salves, etc, and spent SIS in a cablegram
to get them. The cablegram was delivered
in the middle Of the night and badly
frightened Mrs. Williams, who is fearful
Of the typhoons OF the Yellow Sea.

Lose Faith in FederaIs.

Belief in the ability of the federaIs to
hold the city OF Torreon has been some
what shaken here by the rapidity with
which Villa has driven back the federal
outposts In the vicinity Of the besieged
city. Military observers have been pre-
dieting that the rebel advance to Tor
reon would be resisted vigorously by the
federal forces pushed out far from Tor
reon, but these prophecies already have
failed OF fulfiillment.
Rebel agents here last night were say
ing 81 told you So" In reference to re-
ports OF the preliminary fighting at Tor
reon. They assert that the city itself
will fall in a few days more, pointing
out that Villa has 1900 men, trained by
long experience with him. perfectly
equipped, while the federal forces they
assert, are made up largely OF laborers
drafted from the fields who have never
carried rifles before and who don't want
to fight.
Secretary Bryan last night said that
the day had brought no new development
in the Mexican situation. so far as this
government is concerned. He did not go
to his office at all yesterday to read
the usual grist OF dispatches. The de-
partment has not yet received from
George C.. Carothers. its representative
with Villa, any report on the military
situation before Torreon. Caruthers'
chief task Is to look out for the safety
OF foreigners in tn vicinity of Torreon.
but II had been expected that he would
report daily on the progress of the
fighting as might occur.
Action upon the proposals emanating
from the Huerta government. transmitted
through John lind following his con-
ference with Minister Portillo. will await
the result OF the fighting at Torreon.
Dispatches from Mexico City containing
the statement that Portillo's conference
with Lind would not result in Huerta's
resignation were regarded as significant.
It is believed that Lind must have thrown
cold water upon suggestions that Huerta
turn over the provisional presidency tc
PortiIlo so he could acquire eligibility to
run for election to the presidency.

Education, at the Hudson Theater yes

would, IL successful bring upon the
world an era of "tomcatism."

Mrs Martin. will be reduced to the sur

Under the new order. man is to lead
a furtive existence with no organic re-
lation to homes. He will be like the male
drone in the beehive.
In its extreme form feminism demands
for woman sexual independence. 1t would

Financial Systems Made to Order.

Mr.. willis received official notification
from Washington yesterday that he is ex-
pected to revise the rural credits bill 50
that the bonds which the banks are to
issue can be put up in a way that viii be
attractive to the investors. In other
words, his expert advice is sought on
how to make the new system work
His last task. was the drafting OF the
administration currency bill, and not long
ago he was before the Committee on
Banks and Currency to tell all about II
He is associate editor of the Journal Of
Commerce, a professor OF economics at
Columbia University, and the writer OF
books on finance.
Mr.. Willis was astonished when he
found himself in the vortex of questions
from which he did not escape until he
told all about himself. He makes financial
systems of the best quality, all guaran-
teed to work. Some are for classs room
consumption and some are taken on his
hands by the Wilson administration. He
does not care, for he is busy all the time
writing for the paper or finishing up
books.
Quiet and Unassumfng.
Mr.. willis is SO quiet and unassuming
that it was only the other day that his
colleagues realized that he was an ex-
pert advising the government on finance

however, recognize his verbiage all
through II.
That the national legislators regarded
his motives disinterested is shown by the
fact that after putting him on the inter-
rogation drill for a long time on the cur
rency bill they now have asked him to
aid in making the rural credits idea prac-
tical. 1t has been a theory of lawmak
ers for years that agriculture was not
sufficiently encouraged in this country,
and that the farmer often found it hard
to get the necessary money to improve
his land and move his crops.
