MOHLER'S REPORTS
A KANSAS BOOST
Yearly Crops on 1-3 of States Area
Worth Over 800 Millions
1914 WHEAT CROP: 1874 MILLION
Nineteenth Biennial Report of the
Board of Agriculture Shows
in Two Years Farm Pro-
ducts $618, 100000

Topeka, May 6.-Kansas farm
products amount to more than 800
million dollars a year, with only a
little more than one-third of the
states area in cultivation.
''If two thirds of Kansas were un-
der cultivation on a thoroughly
scientific scale what would be the
annual farm output" ]. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board Of ag-
riculture, asked in the nineteenth
biennial report of the board issued
today. "In the two years ended De-
cember 81 the farm products of
this state amounted to 618 million
dollars, million dollars more than
ever before in any two years. Yet
only fraction more than one-third
of the area of Kansas actually is
under cultivation. Past achieve
ments, notable as they have been,
merely hint at present possibilities
and future development"
The report shows that Kansas re-
ceived 1874 million dollars, a little
more than 81 bushel, for her
wheat crop Of 1914.

st. Louis, May IA unanimous
verdict in favor Of the defendants
in the Campbell will case was re-
turned by a jury. The verdict de-
clares Lois Campbell, now Mrs. Ell
zey Burkham, to be the daughter of
the late James Campbell and, there
fore, entitled to one-half of his 16-
million dollar estate, willed her by
Campbell.
A suit to set aside the will on the
ground that Campbell was unduly
influenced by Jesuit priests to name
st. Louis university as the ultimate
legatee of the estate after the death
of Mrs. Campbell and Of Mrs. Burk-
ham has been brought. by the sister
and by nieces and nephews Of Camp
bell.
If the will were set aside, the
contestants would not share in the
estate unless they could prove that
Mrs. Burkham is not the daughter
of Campbell, and therefore not en-
titled to divide the estate with her
mother.

MESSAGE TAKES FIRM TENOR
States His Policy As TO Rights OF

try Back Of Him

Washington, May IL, 8 p. m.-The
presidents message to Germany In
which he outlines his interpretation
of "strict accountability" has been
CONNECTED and will DO sent TO Ber-
lin tonight or tomorrow.
The tenor OF the presidents mes
aare Is said TO be most vigorous anu
the demands upon Germany are I'M
mistakable.
While It Is believed that the pres
ideut realizes that it IL possible
that his message may bring about
a final break with the kaiser's gov
eminent, he Is prepared for what
ever Interpretation Germany Is In
clined to put upon his statement OF
the American policy regarding the
series OF events which eliminated In
the sinking Of the Lusitania and the
loss of a hundred American lives
Various official factions are unit
ed in support of the presidents pol
icy.
From all over the nation have
come assurances to the president OF
the confidence placed in him in this
the Gravest crisis In which the
United States has been placed since
the European war began.
Washington, May 12.-President
Wilson has practically decided on
the first step in the policy which
the United States government Will
pursue as a result of the sinking OF
the British liner Lusitania. A draft
of a communication to be sent to
Germany was submitted to the cab
met and approved unanimously.
While no official announcement was
made, 1t was learned that the Unit
ed States would present and insist
upon an explanation of the series OF
incidents which have occurred since
the proclamation of a war zone
around the British Isles-the sink
ing of the Falaba, causing the death
of Leon c. Thresher, an American
citizen; the attack by German air
men on the American steamer Cush-
ing, the torpedoing of the 'Ameri-
can steamer Gulflight and finally
the destruction without warning OF
the Lusitania.
In what are described by those
familiar with the document as firm
and unmistakable terms, the presi-
dent voices the intense feeling OF
the United States over these hap
penings and in the name OF inter-
national law demands an adher-
ence by Germany to the established
rules of maritime warfare.
The note asks that some assur-
ance or guarantee be given hereaf-
ter that unarmed merchant vessels
carrying noncombatants be visited
and searched when encountered on
the high seas by the Germany navy
and passengers and crew transfer
red to a place Of safety before any
prize is destroyed.
