TAFT SAYS OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM is
TOO COMPLEX
Urges Clayton Bill Passage Before the
House Committee on Judi
ciary.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Ex- President
William Howard Taft appeared yester-
day before the House committee on the
Judiciary to recommend and urge the
speedy passage of the Clayton bill, which
extends to the supreme court of the
United States the right to make rules
for the conduct of cases on the commits
sion law side of the federal courts with
a view to the expedition of justice.
mo other country in the world" said
Mr.. Taft, "has made such progress along
the line of the simplifcation of judicial
practice as has England. The despatch
of business in the English courts finds
no comparison on this side of the At
lantie. Even in murder trials four or
five days suffice at most, whereas, in
America, trials of four or five weeks
are by no means infrequent.
"And on the other hand, there is no
suggestion that ends of justice are not
observed with equal precision under the
simpler methods of practice in England
as in America.
''lf | thought that | might not be
suggesting stumbling block TO the
speedy passage of this most highly i'm
portant bill, ! would suggest an addi-
tional section carrying an appropriation
for the creation of a commission under
the supervision of the supreme court
which should assume the burden of de-
tail work incident to the carrying out
of the purposes of this bill. The inn
portant thing is to pass the bill. The
appropriation might create diversion,
so let us pass the bill and then deal with
brother Fitzgerald later on
The recall of federal judges and ju.
dicial decisions were denounced by Taft
when he went before the Judiciary COM
mittee.
Both would tend to break down the
courts" he said.

HUMUS IN THE SOIL.
Fifty Years Needed for Its Growth and
Possibly a Longer Time.

This is one of the greatest factors in
the production of crops, and for holding
soil moisture, observes the Indiana
Farmer. It is the humus and moisture
in connection that make soluble the ele.
ments of production and plant growth.
1t is very long process in securing
humus in the soil for the growth of
plants, and once exhausted it is hard to
restore. Prof. Osborne, touching this
matter, says: "Men are likely to con-
clude that they can, within few years
build up large humus content in the
soil. On the contrary, it can be seen by
the following figures that this is not an
easy thing to do. 1t has been found
that not over 10 per cent of the organic
matter plowed under can be figured on
al being converted into humus. The sur
face, eight inches of the average clay
loan, weighs approximately about 2,000,-
900 pounds. Taking the humus content
as five per cent you would have 100000
pounds to the acre. If the farmer should
ever turn under four tons of organic
matter per acre annually, it would take
very long time to build up a large
humus content.
Fifty years would be short time IN
which to accumulate humus to any ex-
tent, and even longer time would be
required if one removes the crop from
time to time. From these figures one
should not conclude that the addition of
humus to the soil is not highly desir-
able, for it is. 1t can be seen, however,
that at the most we can do but little
more within our short lives than main
tain the humus at constant percentage
by frequent green manuring.

Potatoes in Tissue.

A few years ago there was consterna-
ton and some degree of disgust among
eastern apple growers when the orchard
lists of the Northwest began to send
crates of carefully wrapped, sorted, and
packed apples to the large eastern cities
and get fancy prices for the same. They
were used to tumbling their apples, with
little sorting or care, into second hand
barrels and sending them to the city
dealers. If they took any pains with
the packing it was, in too many in
stances, confined to putting the big APP
pies on top and the smaller and wormy
apples in the middle OF the barrel. They
sneered that the city people who paid
much higher prices for the northwestern
apples were paying dear for tissue paper
and boxes for kindling wood, and that
they were getting no better apples. 1t
was all true enough about the quality
of the apples, for no apples are better
than those of the states in this section,
but the northwestern growers had
taught them something about the tastes
of city people in the east or elsewhere.
And now the progressive northwest is
putting frills on the prosaic and demo-
cratic potato. Montana growers are
shipping to New York boxes OF potatoes
in assorted sizes, each potato carefully
wrapped in tissue. Each box is of 60
pounds, but the potatoes are packed ac
cording to size, so that the boxes con-
tain 25, 30, 40, 80, 60 or 20 potatoes
each. And the New York people, who
like the smell of burning money, are
paying 50 a box for these potatoes
two or three times as much as for
Aroostook potatoes, which are un-
of better quality. The po
tato growers of Aroostook are not de-
void of enterprise themselves and they
are likely to take the hint. 1t was dis
cussed at the potato day convention re-
Gently held at Bangor, but what will be
the effect on the great bulk of eonsum
ers if Aroostook takes to sending out its
25,000,000 bushels of potatoes wrapped
in tissue and carefully numbered in
small crates.-Boston Herald.

A Wonderful Baseball Play.

In the February American Magazine
appears page entitled Two Glimpses
OF Ty Cobb One of the stories told is
the following, which relates how the
great Detroit baseball player-perhaps
the greatest player in the world made
q lucky scratch hit and then scored on
three stolen bases:
THE greatest baseball play ! ever
saw occurred in game between the
Philadelphia Athletics and the Detroit
Tigers in Shibe Park, Philadelphia,
June, 1912.
ETY. Cobb, his first time up, hit a
nasty grounder toward first base. The
ball had deceptive bound and 'Stuffy'
McInnes had some trouble reaching for
it and keeping hold of the ball when he
got it. But he managed TO scramble
over and touch first Just as 'Ty' raced
over the beg. Connie Mack's loyal
'rooters' declared that Georgia Peach
out by mile, but the umpire had ideas
OF his own and Tyrus rested safely on
the initial sack.
"The unexpected usually happens
when the star swatsman is running bas-
es, and on this occasion he did not dis
appoint his admirers. After the pitcher
had thrown the ball, Ty, having a fairly
good lead, decided to amble along down
to second, figuring, no doubt, that Lapp
the Athletic catcher would be taken
off his guard and throw wild. To try for
second after n catcher of Lapp's ability
has the ball requires nerve of high or
der He is usually there with the per-
feet peg; but the sight of Cobb Jogging
along was too much for him and he
heaved the ball into center field. Cobb
saw Barry crouched in front of the base
waiting as ii to receive the ball, so,
gathering speed, he made one of his
famous bent leg slides and landed be-
hind the bag. Then seeing that the ball
had gone to center field, he started for
third base at top speed Someone, |
think ii was Collins, made a beautiful
throw to Home Run Baker, who stabbed
Cobb with the ball as that well known
gentleman was in the act of sliding
head first for the third haven of rest.
"The crowd groaned when the umpire
motioned Cobb safe at third. While
his nervy exhibition, the fans
really wanted the dangerous fellow dis
posed of, and he had reached third by
the closest kind of margin.
"Ty' slapped the rust from his toys
and, as usual, ran several feet up the
path toward home each time the pitcher
started to wind up. The batter had now
gathered two strikes, and with the next
wind-up Cobb raced for the plate at full
speed, sliding with great force against
Lapp, who was waiting for him with
the ball But tine throw had been lit
tie too high and the catcher was taken
off his feet before he could touch the
daring base runner.
"Cobb therefore stole three bases aft
err having reached first by lucky
scratch hit and made the first run of
the game before the next batter up had
hit the ball"

HIS MEMORY HoNoRED.
The Last Rites for General Joshua L.
Chamberlain.

Portland, Me-. Feb. 2S.--Draped in the
flag, the stars of which he helped to pre-
serve undimmed, the casket containing
the body of Joshua l., Chamberlain, for
mer governor of Maine, former president
of Bowdoin college and mayor general
of the Civil war, was borne from city
hall shortly before noon yesterday on
its way to its final resting place in the
cemetery of the quiet, old college town
of Brunswick, which for so many years
had been his home.
Four companies of the state militia
guarded the honored body of the "hero
of Little Round Top" and behind them
marched the old comrades in arms OF the
dead leader, the members of the mill
tary order of the Loyal Legion and the
two Grand Army posts of this city.
Although a military funeral and at
tended by the governor of the state, rep
resentatives of Governor Walsh of
Massachusetts and a great body of
Names most distinguished citizens, the
services for General Chamberlain were
almost severe in their simplicity.

PURE, RICH BLOOD
May Be Had by Taking Old Reliable
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Pure blood enables the stomach, Liver
and other digestive organs to do then
work properly. Without it they are
sluggish, there is loss of appetite, some
times faintness, deranged state of the
intestines, and, in gneral, all the symp.
toms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every organ
of the body for the proper performance
of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla surely makes pure
blood, and this is why it is SO very sue
cessful in the treatment of so many dis
eases and ailments. 1t acts directly on
the blood, Kidding it of scrofulous and
other humors.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar COM
bination of blood purifying, nerve-ton-
ing, strength giving substances. Get it
to-day and begin taking it at once

in Either April or May.

New York, Feb. 2s.---Believing that he
has talked too much since the court OF
appeals granted him new trial, Charles
Becker, former police lieutenant, said
yesterday he would have no more state
ments to make until he takes the stand
in his own defense when again tried
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Becker was confined in cell in the
Tombs yesterday. He thoroughly en-
ioyed ride down Broadway from the
l25th street station Thursday night. Be.
fore being locked in his cell he told
reporters ii might be announced posi-
lively that under no circumstances would
he seek reinstatement on the police force.
Dist. ATTY. Whitman declared Becker
would be placed on trial again in April
or May. Justice Sesbury or Justice Da-
Wis will preside.
