LABOR OFFICIALS
 HEARING IS ON
Supreme Court Called Upon In Last Effort to Save Indianapolis
 Dynamiters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The final effort to save from imprisonment "A of the labor union officials, convict ed in the Indianapolis dynamitetrials and refused new trials by the Unit ed States Court of Appeals in Chi cago, was made in arguments for a writ of certiorari before the United States Supreme Court today by At torney E. N. Zoline. Six of the de- fendants were granted new trials by the decision handed down in Chicago. Feline argued today that inasmuch as all the defendants were alleged to have been linked together in the same conspiracy to transport dyna- mite, all should have been granted new trials, instead of only six Other points in his argument were:
 That the defendants were doubly
 punished-once for conspiracy to transport dynamite and again for ac- tual transportation of the explosive. That Ortie McManigal and Edward Clark, having pleaded guilty to fel- ony, were incompetent witnesses, and should have been tried separately. That the offenses charged were barred by the statute of limitations at the time of the indictments, and that no federal offenses were proven. The "A defendants for whom Feline is seeking new trials, are at liberty under bail, the Court of Appeals hav- ing granted a stay of execution, pend ing final disposition of their cases by the Supreme Court

BUREAU OF SOILS
 EXPLORE OCEAN
Hunting for Fertilizer on Floor of the Ocean-Fish is Good for
 the Soil.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20---The ocean depths are the latest regions to be explored by the Bureau of Soils of the Department of Agriculture in its continent-wide invoice of the nations assets in fertilizer materials.
 Just now il is engaged in a hunt for nitrogenous products, which with phosphorus and potassium form the triumvirate of desirable fertilizers, and it is estimated tha: literally bill lions of fish might be caught and con- verted into the richest fertilizing ma terial without appreciably decreasing the supply.
 Even the American Indians knew something of the value of fish as fer tilizers and were wont to put one or two in each hill of corn at the time of planting. The first factory for cooking fish by st am for fertilizing purposes was erected near Ports mouth in 1841 and from that time until 1884 the industry grew. Since then, however it has suffer ed something of a decline and the Bureau of Soils hopes to inaugurate {" revival of this industry to avert { threatened depletion of the soil. No region or section has been over looked by this bureau in it's hunt for the three elements named, for their presence is deemed of more value to the nation at large than all the gold veins of California or the unminted silver of Nevada.
 The deserts of the great southwest have been secured for potassium salts, the kelp groves of the Pacific coast as far north as Alaska have been ex- perimented with to the same end, the great peat beds in Florida. are now being examined. and phosphate fields have been discovered in South Carolina, Tennessee Kentucky, Ar kansas, Utah and Idaho.
 None of these. however, give more promise of development than do the innumerable fish that r.ay be secured by the boatload in the Atlantic every summer.
 ! Acting under the direction of Mil ton Whitney, chief of the Bureau of Soils, J. w. Turrentine has just com pleted an investigation of the possi- bilities of fish fertilizers, the most common fish used for this purpose being the menhaden, variously known as the "porgy," hard head" ''bug fss1 and other colloquial names. It is seldom used for food.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Senator Bristow today made the charge thlt the big lobby employed by the r,:.- road interests of the country, espec~- ially the transcontinental roads, haze influenced the president to secure the repeal of the toll law exemptin. American ships from duty.
 The senator said that the railroads for many years prevented the con- struction of the canal, claiming it would ruin them and now they wish to put every pos ible charge upon the steamers entering the coasting 'tratlo, which they claim is the right of the railroads.
 The charges caused sensation in the Senate chamber and it is expect ed that several Democratic senators will answer the Kansas senator.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-EXcess baggage rates now operative on 69 railroads in the United States were characterized as an unjust tax on commerce at hearing before the In terstate Commerce Commission here today. At present the usual rate is 16 2-3 per cent of one passenger fare for every 100 pounds of excess and the commission was asked to enforce graduated rate that should range from s to F 12 per cent of the pas senger The present minimum charge of 25 cents was not attacked.
 Figures were cited at today's hear ing to show that the railroads col lected $7,173.4O2 last year on excess baggage and that this was not more than normal return on the amount of labor performed and the capital invested Emphasis was given to the fact that no e9tra trains and but few extra men are necessary to handle the baggage, as it is carried in car at tached to passenger train.
 In summing up before the commis- sion the attorneys for the complain ant said that the railroads carry an express package for about 50 per cent of what the express company receiv- es for transporting it, but that they make much larger profit on excess baggage for similar service. For example the new express rates per 100 pounds from New York to Chicago is $2.4O, of which the railroad gets approximately $1.2O But for trans porting 100 pounds of excess baggage 1t collects $335. Similarly it gets $5.55 for carrying 100 pounds of ex- cess baggage from New York to New Orleans, but if the same weight were sent by express the railroad, would get but $2.20 and the express com pany like amount. s
 Objection was also made to the present insurance rate for excess bag gage. At present it is ten cents on every $1OO with a minimum charge of 25 cents. The commission was asked to establish a minimum of ten cents, such as the express companies now have. .tt ar
 Another complaint is that of the Jewellers Protective Union. which ob- jects to the order Of the railroads that commercial baggage" as differenti- ated from "personal baggage" shall not contain goods for actual sale, but only samples or patterns. This will come up for oral argument shortly.
