FARM CREDITS SYSTEM
IS MADE PART Of BILL
Senate Amends and Passes Agri
cultural Appropriation Measure.
Goes to Conference.

Before passing the agricultural ap-
preparation bill last evening the Sen
ate added to it a provision for a farm
credits system offered by Senator NC
Cumber of North Dakota.
The provision was incorporated In
the supply bill without a record vote
at a time when but few senators were
in the chamber. The bill itself was
passed a short time later.
Creates a Bureau.
The McCumber amendment would
create a bureau Of farm credits in the
Treasury Department to make loans OF
government funds through national
banks on farm mortgage notes. These
loans would run for ten years at per
cent interest, and would not be less
than $500 nor more than $4,000 to In
dividends. Issue of United States twen-
ty-year Az per cent bonds to establish
la permanent fund of $1O.00O,000 to COW
er such loans would be authorized
This and other changes increased the
bills total from s23,0o0,Oo0 to about
S36.0OO.000.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
made point of order against the rural
credits amendment, but withdrew 1t
with the understanding that the meas
ure would be perfected In conference
between the House and Senate. There
an effort will be made to shape 1t into
a rural credits plan acceptable to the
House and to the President
Sum of SO, ,OOO, 900 for Forest Service
The Senate also incorporated in the
agricultural bill an amendment appro-
priating $3.00O,000 for the use of the
forest service in the Appalachian forest
reserves.
After considerable argument the Sen
ate declined to support the action OF
the agricultural committee irf striking
out an appropriation of $235,000 for the
free distribution of seeds. One OF the
principal new provisions in the bill is
the $2,50o.000 appropriation for COM
batting the foot and mouth disease
among cattle.

the consent of Turkey. Merchant vessels
arriving at the narrows between sunrise
and sunset were permitted to pass through
in ordinary times without formalities. but
after sunset and sunrise no vessels were
allowed to pass. Were an attempt to do
SO made. a blue light would blaze from
the forts and three blank shots would be
fired. Should these warnings prove
futile. it was mandatory upon the forts
that solid shot be fired at a vessel dis

YOUNG woman FOUND
WITH HEAD CRUSHED
Third Of Mysterious Murders Under
Investigation at Au-
rora, Ill.
Man Described as an Eccentric Sus-
pected Of the Crime-Po-
lice Bafded.

AURORA, Ill, February ga man
sixty years old, described as being an
eccentric was held under arrest by
the police today in connection with the
murder of Miss Emma Peterson, who
| was found with her head crushed and
| jaw broken half block from her home
last night
1t was the third mysterious murder
of woman in Aurora in twelve
months. In each case the victim has
been slugged to death. In no case has
the murderer been caught.
Three Unsolved Mysteries.
The three unsolved murders are:
Theresa Hollander. who was dubbed to
death in a cemetery the night of Feb
ruary 16, 1914. Tony Petras, a former
suitor, was twice tried on a charge of
having slain her and acquitted:
Jennie Miller was dubbed to death in
churchyard the night of November
10, 1914. Several arrests were made,
but the crime was never solved.
Emma Peterson was found dubbed to
death near the residence of former
kins. No weapon was found near the
body; the police obtained no clews.
The man under arrest, John Mason
does odd jobs at st. Joseph's Hospital for
his board. He had been detained by
the police early last night. after he
attempted to seize young woman by
the arm a block from the spot where
Miss Peterson's body was found.
Follows and Traps Mason.
The girl had complained that she had
been stopped by a man in the vicinity
the night before. Her father followed
her last night and trapped Mason. The
police, after questioning him, released
him. Two hours later the body OF
Miss Peterson was found.
Mason, according to the police, ad-
mitted that he sometimes had carried
a section of rubber hose, filled with
shot, but the sisters at the hospital
asked for his release, declaring that he
was harmless eccentric.
Not positive that Mason is the man
bloodhounds today, hoping. to reveal
the course taken by the murderer in
making his escape.
Body Found on Sidewalk.
Neighbors returning home found the
body of the girl lying on the sidewalk.
No one living within the block heard
an outcry, and the police believe she
was struck down from behind and
killed before she could cry out for
help. A handbag carried by her is
missing.
Miss Peterson, who was twenty-five
years old. had been living in the home
of wealthy retired farmer for the last
| three years. The police are working
on the theory that all three murders OF
the last twelve months have been com.
mitted by the same man.

1t has been declared that with Con-
stantinople is possession of the allies
a vast amount of Russian wheat would
come out from the Black sea and be
distributed to ports in France and Eng
land. The possession of Constantinople
also would have the effect of driving
Turkish naval power, and particularly
the former German cruisers Goeben and
BreSlau, into the Black sea, where they
would be without any port of refuge.
While the efforts to force the Darda-
nelles have been going on for over six
~ days. the immediate operation
which, according to the British official
announcement has now resulted sue
cessfully. began about week ago.
Aeroplanes are said to have rendered
material assistance.
The Dardanelles We're forced in 1907
by an English admiral, who made his
way through the sea of Marmora to
Constantinople, but then encountered
through the narrow waterway than he
had in going in
Description of Dardanelles.
The Dardanelles is narrow. tor
tuous strip of water dividing European
from Asiatic Turkey and leading from
the Aegean sea to the Sea of Marmora,
1t is about thirty-three miles in length
and averages about two miles in width
At the entrance to the straits are, on
the European side, Forts Helles Burnu
and Sedd-El-Bahr, which face Fort
Rum Kale on the Asiatic side Sedd-El-
Bahr is quadrangular incIosure with
solid walls and low towers at the
angles. Standing on the side of the hill
which slopes to Cape Greco its lower
wall reaches to the waters edge In
acreage Sedd-El-B Bahr is the largest
fortress in the Dardanelles. Behind the
castle on the height is the Shahirn
Kalessi fort.
Fortress Probably Strengthened.
Across the strait from Sedd-El-Bahr
to Kun kale is about two miles. Kun
Kale is an old stone castle which on
the fiat land of the Asiatic side lies
almost at the water line. OF late years
this fortress had been permitted to 20
into decay. but with the outbreak of
the present war it undoubtedly has
been strengthened with modern e,,ns
The mouth of the DardaneIles is said
to be heavily mined. Up the waterway
toward Constantfnople many small forts
dot the shores at intervals and there
are big fortihcations at the entrance
70 the Sea of Marmora, and also about
ten miles from the entrance to the
strait, at the beginning of the narrows
Here are Forts Namazieh, on the Euro
pean side, and Chanak fortress oppo-
site 1t, both modern fortifications armed
with Krupp guns.

SHIPPING APPLES
VIA PANAMA CANAL
Water Route is Practical for On
ly Few Fruit Districts of
the Northwest

The first big experiment in the use
of the Panama Canal for shipping
fruit to New York has just been COM
pleted by the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors. Two important facts have
been determined, according to Presi-
dent H. F. Davidson, who recently re-
turned from New York. One is that
only three districts and part of a
fourth Of the ten principal fruit dis
tricts in the Northwest can ship their
apples to the Atlantic coast ports that
way and make a substantial saving
in transportation charges. The other
is that small shippers are practically
debarred, owing to handling charges
and to certain established trade condi-
tions which are encountered upon ar
rival. Only large organization with
its own salaried employees at the re-
ceiving end to consummate private
sales and to arrange for immediate
disposition of the fruit upon arrival
can avoid losses which would more
than offset any advantages that might
be gained from transporting it via the
canal.
"Hood River and a few nearby
points in Oregon and Yakima and
Wenatchee in Washington are the on
ly Northwestern districts that can
make a substantial saving" declared
Mr.. Davidson yesterday. "Even then
someone who has direct personal in
terest in the cargoes must be on hand
to meet them and take care Of them
at once. The other Northwestern dis

saving in transportation charges on
these % cars to be approximately
$2,500.00.

rive in New York with eight more car
loads, and the Montanian of the Amer

now loading the Santa Secelia of the
Atlantic and Pacific line with seven

sons stated, we have made provision

those apples.
ssThe Distributors have for a long

effects Northwestern fruit and we
were the first to avail ourselves of the
opportunities afforded, almost to the
exclusion of other shippers. When the
Santa Cecilia is on her way we will
have shipped 81 carloads altogether
