ed by the State of Maryland.
What this organization asks" said
Mr.. Warfield. lis the cooperation OF
the people of Virginia in carrying on
the effective work already begun. We
are not asking you to give away large
tracts of land. but that you will con-
tribute to the support of your State
organization. and become interested in
a land corporation such as was form

the most practical way to bring about
quickly the results desired The South
has about 200, GOO, 600 acres OF un.
cultivated land. more than the land
at present under cultivation. and GER
tainly this offers a better field than
the West or Canada for development
of the highest sort. At the present

Barnes and insisting that he had only

Mr.. Hutchinson described with glee
and relish the conversation he had
with the colonel at the Harvard Club,
In New York city. on July Ii. 1914.
The substance of the talk was that
Colonel Roosevelt agreed that the
Progressive party was a back number

New York. May 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals in at,
opinion written by Judge z. H. La
combe today. has decided that James
j. Farmer and Colonel Bill Hartley,
who sold editions de luxe to trusting
bookiovers and split the profits. will
have to serve the two years imprfs-
onment imposed on them by Judge
Foster in the United States District
Court last November for using the
mails to defraud.
The appellate court reverses the
finding of tho jury on one count In
the Indictment against the book men.
holding that although evidence
brought out at the trial by Assistant
United States Attorney Roosa showed
that the men had used the mails TO
defraud In specific cases, no positive
proof had been shown that they had
used the malls in furtherance of a
conspiracy between them. The rever-
sal on this count will not alter the
sentence.
