tricts of Vermont has recently been com
pleted by the United States department
of agriculture in order to ascertain how

grown and consumed directly on the farm.
There are two ways of obtaining the ne

TAFT MAY TELL OF CONFERENCE
 WITH LEOPARD
ASSOCIATED PRES DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-It is possible the government will call ex-President Taft to testify at the trial of the eleven New Haven directors under the sherman act. He is expected to tell of a conference between him and Lewis Cass Ledyard, one of the de fendants. over the New Haven acqui- sition of Boston X Main stock, in the matter of limitation of the New Haven inquiry begun in the latter part of Taft's administration.
 The government alleges that Led yard used his influence with the ad- ministration to confine the inquiry of the relations of the New Haven with the Grand Trunk. of Canada. Charles Mellen. former president of the New Haven was characterized as a hos tile witness" by q federal attorney during the continuation of the testi- mony. Nevertheless he succeeded in introducing what was deemed to be some of the most important evidence against the defendants contained in the government case. Mellen con ceded that the early competition be- tween the New Haven and the New York S New England which it sub sequently absorbed, was cut the throat variety. He testified it was the state of rivalry between the Boston x Main and the New Haven which led to an agreement in which the two agreed to avoid each others territory.
 Mellen told how the New Haven secured control of two of New York

 Not having expected a gusher. Fleming was not disappointed when the strike proved to be merely d pocket. For several days. the drills had been hampered by the caving of the hole. Soft water. which is en- countered just above all oil deposits, was the immediate cause of the cav ing.

 Fleming is the pioneer oil man of the district He is president of the Tonto Basin Oil Company, which has promoted most of the drilling work in the district. But one well has been bored, although the rigs of other con- cerns are on the ground. Fleming has pursued the work in spite of much incredulity on the part of his acquaintances and friends. and at the present time. has sunk some S13.o00 of his own money in the well.

.Convictior is Strong That Conference at Fl Paso Will Accomplish Nothing and Federal Investigation Is Urged

By Ernest Douglas

Special Representative of The Repub- hcam
 CLIFTON, Ariz.. oct. 21-Each day that passes without news of some def mite progress being made by the peace conference in Fl Paso, deepens the con- viction of the strikers that the com panies are merely sparrinS for time and still hope to starVe out their former employees. This feeling. general since the first conference committee was turned down. becomes more pronounced daily.
 The chances that the strikers will send another committee to Fl PasO if this one reports failure are extremely remote. They think that if this com mittee can do nothing with the man. agers they might as well stop trying.
 Our strongest card now is federal investigation" one of the strike leaders said today.
 We hope the investigation will dis close facts which will force the com panies to come to terms. Public sen timent will he aroused once the truth is known We are convinced we can prove things which will make the Colo rado situation pale into insignificance.
 Among the things the strikers hope to prove is that many men had to pay cnrcmen and shift bosses for their jobs: that the managers refused to receive men who went to them with com plaints; that for many years the men have not been satisfied with wages or conditions. that the average wage scale was much lower than the com panies have claimed since the strike began; that the companies interfered with private claim owners and Ieasers; that the stories told by refugees are greatly exaggerated and in many in- stances manufactured from whole cloth.
 The suspicion that the companies plan to rush in strike breakers from Duncan has lessened but has not en- tirely died down. Heavy picket guards are maintained 4 number of miner
