Brazilian Minister Reports How the Emblem Was Torn and Dragged
 Down Pole

Washington, March 25.--Hou the American flag flying over the home of John B. McManus, m American cit ixen. in Mexico City. was "torn and dragged half way down the pole. by Zapata soldiers when they murdered McManus and footed his home two weeks ago. is told in dispatches from the Brazilian minister, made public today by Secretary Bryan.
 Secretary Bryan said reparation for the insult to the flag had been asked from the Zapata authorities, but that no reply had come In answer to inquiries, he said there had been no demand for a salute to the flag as in the Tampico af- fair
 An expression of regret for the killing of McManus already has been received from General Paafox, the Zapata com mander, with a promise of indemnity for the family and punishment for the slayers if apprehended.
 MT. Bryan explained that the Brazilian minister, in reporting McManus death on March II, mentioned only the fact that the American flag was flying over the house. The next day he sent a further report referring to the dissertation of the flag An inquiry from the depart ment as to what this meant brought an explanation on March 16 that an Amer ican committee which investigated the oc- currence reported to him that following fussilading which preceded the general entry of the Zapatstas into the house, the flag was badly torn by the Zapatistas and dragged halfway down the pole The same committee, the minister re- ported, had submitted to him a phto- graph of the house and flag. In this connection it became known today that several foreign flags had been violated recently at Manzanillo. among them the American flag over the house of an American ranchman. When the matter was called to the attention of General Carranza he denied the truth of the reports of American and British consuls.

WERNER HORN IS
 TAKEN TO BOSTON
Will Be Tried for Transporting Elk. plosives Illegally-Habeas Cor
 pus Writ Lost

Portland Me, March 25.--Werner Horn was taken to Boston tonight to be tried in the federal court on charges that he transported explosives illegally in con. nection with his attempt to destroy the International railway bridge at Vance boro.
 Horns counsel made unsuccessful ef- forts to obtain a write of habeas corpus from two United States court judges here today. Judges William l.. Putnam and Clarence Hale both declined to grant such a writ. The transfer of the prisoner tc Massachusetts was directed by Judge Putnam at the conclusion of hearing or the application of the district attorney for an order of removal.
 Daniel T. O'Connell of counsel for Horn told the court that his desire for the re- lease of the prisoner was due to his con- fidence that he could be defended suc- cessfully here in the extradition proceed ings instituted by the Canadian govern- ment because of damage to the bridge An extradition warrant issued sometime ago at the request of an officer from Ot- tawa was held in readiness for service had Horn been released by habeas cor pus proceeding.

The F-4 With D Men on Board Has Been Sub merged Off Honolulu Since 9:15 A. M. Thursday
EFFORTS TO BRING VESSEL TO SURFACE
 WITH HOOKS FAIL
Feared That Tanks Have Burst and Crew Has Been Suffocated With Sulphuric Acid Fumes

Honolulu, March 25.-The Ameri- can submarine Ed, which was sub merged at 9:15 a. m. today two miles off Honolulu harbor, had not reap peared at nightfall and grave fears were expressed for it's safety. The F-4 carries q crew of g men and is commanded by Lieut.. Alfred l.. Ede.
 The three other submarines of the "FN' group stationed here. the naval tug Navajo and launches were SCOUT ing the ocean for miles about the har- Dor entrance tonight in search of the missing vessel
 Naval officials said they were hope ful that no serious mlshap had be- fallen the F-4. but they admitted that the circumstances of the crafts pro- ionged disappearance gave rise to much apprehension.
 The little flotilla of submarines was engaged in target practice this morn- Ing.
 Anxiety Felt It was not regarded as unusual that the F-4 should remain under water for an hour or more i'll the course of the maneuyers, but when noon came and the vessel continued submerged anx- iety was felt. This increased as the afternoon wore on and the other sub marines began search for the F-i. The naval station was notified and other vessels We're sent out to aid Most of the % men aboard the F. i are married and haNe families. Later tonight it was reported that the F-4 had been located, lying at a depth of 120 fathoms.
 Attempts to bring the vessel to the sur face with grappling hooks had failed
 No Signal Bell
 No signal bells had been heard frorr the submerged craft and this fact Ice to fears that the submarines tanks hao burst, suffocating the crew with sulphuric acid fumes
 It was pointed out that n submarine E bell has wide range and could be heard readily if signals were given
 Rear Admiral Charles R. T. Moore. com mandant of the Honolulu station, said the men of the F-4 would be in no dan ger of suffoeation ordinarily for at least 4 hours and that if the vessels air ap- paratus remained in good order the crew might live a week submerged. He said, however, that the F-4 lacked food sup plies.

State Attorney General Says Body Should Receive Per Diem and Only Expenses
 in Attending Sessions
w. l.. MARTIN

Montgomery, March 25.-tSpecial.) Attorney General W. l.. Martin today submitted an opinion to John B. Weak ley, chairman of the legislative com mittee on finance and taxation, in which he held that the membe of the committee are not entitled to their travelling expenses under the provi- siors of the joint resolution creatin g the body.
 The attorney general held thar the committee under the law is entitled to receive only their per diem and their, travelling expenses to aud from Montgomery to attend the sessions of the committee, but that they are not entitled to their expenses in travelling about the state. He declared the state auditor has no authority to issue war rants in payment of these expenses.
 While the opinion of the attorney general referred specifically to the ex- penses of the finance and taxation committee it will probably serve the effect of a similar ruling relative tC the travelling expenses of the invest,- gating and Judiciary committees 'nas- much as the resolutions creating these committees are practically similar in verbage.

The submarine was chased by patrol boats, but she proved too elusive for them and when steamers tried to ram or escape her they found that the submarine was too fast
 The German commander gave the crews of most of the steamers time to leave their vessels and in some cases lowed them in lifeboats to passing steamers in which the seamen were taken to port.

COLONEL DESCLAUX GUILTY 0F STEAL ING
 MILITARY STORES
Former Paymaster General in French Army Is Sen fenced to Seven Years
 Confinement

Paris, March 25.-W D. m.)-CoI.
 Francois Desciaux, former pnymnster general in the French army, charged with stealing military stores, was con-
 victed today and sentenced to seven years solitary confinement and miIi-
 tary degradation. His name was or-
 dercd removed from the list of the
 Legion of Honor.
 Madame Bechoff, the wife of |; Ger
 man, in whose house the stolen goods were found, also was declared guilty and sentenced to two years imprison- | ment. A soldier named Verges, ac- cused of aiding in the thefts, was given one years sentence All the ether defendants were declared not guilty.
 Counsel Protests Charles Philippe, counsel for Madame Bechoff, protested against the imputa- tions that his client had organized in France a spy service and that at her country home she had installed cement foundations for the emplacement of Ger man cannon. Mme. Bechoffs father and uncle he declared, had fought for
 France in 1870. and number of her rela- .ioiS were uO1nS the same today. MT Philippe also referred to Mime. Bechoff' work as nurse and as the directress of hospital.
 Maitre Demange, counsel for Colonel Desclaux, declared that Desclaux was not thief and said that Desclaux had
 furnished him in confidence the names of officers who had turned over the SUD- plies and trophies to him. Desclaux would not reveal these names, Demange said, desiring to save his fellow officers from scandal.
 The vote of the courtmartial in sen- tencing Desclaux was four to three There was similar standing in the court against Mime. Bechoff, but 1t was decided that she should receive the bene- | fit of extenuating circumstances.
 I verges' sentence of years imprison-
 ment 1t is believed, was due to disre-
 spect shown to his superior officers who testified against him yesterday.
 Desclaux, who formerly was chiei l secretary of Joseph Caillaux wher CailIaux was minister of finance, was arrested in January charged with 1 stealing military supplies and sending l them to the home of Mime. Rechoff | one of the best known dressmakers in Paris On account of the conspicuous 1 political connections of Desclaux and 1 the prominence of Mime. Bechoff the 1 charges created sensation. l When the court martial assembled 1 last Monday one corner of the court room resembled an army storehuuse There were packages of coffee, tents
 trophies of war, big shells and hel- nets, making perhaps a ton or ma l terial. All these were found in the home of Mime. Bechoff and were brought in as evidence.

so that the COWS do not all try to
crowd in one door at the same time.
The outtake fiues for ventilation are
not in the way, but are along the wall
where the space is not needed. The
COWS heads are away from the bright
light of the sun, as they would be in

ing at night and in the morning.
The design shown here has the 9th

following advantages have been list
ed by the admirers of this style:
Most of the work is done behind the

therefore Is much easier to handle in

COWS face the light is not as impor-

the sunlight is applied to the man
gers, where it is needed more than
it is in the cutters. Much shorter In

to apply it as a top dressing on the
clover seeding; for the reason that
the plants will take up the fertilizing
elements and hold them in the soil
until such time as they are needed
for the crops that follow in the rota-
ton, instead of allowing them to leach
and wash away from the land. This
will also improve the texture and wa
ter-holding capacity Of the soil.
All of the grain raised should be
fed out to live stock on the farm and
the manure returned to the soil, for
clover alone will not keep the soil up
forever unless it is supplemented by
the use of other plant foods.
When we apply manure to the
clover we are getting the lever under
the very center of gravity of the farm.
If we lift the clover crop the whole
farm comes up with it and produces
larger and more profitable crops.

VARIOUS WAYS TO
KILL QUACk GRASS
One Good Plan Is to PIoW Late
in Fall, Thus Exposing Plant
Roots to Frost.

There are many ways to destroy
noxious weeds and it seems as though
every farmer has method of his own,
yet every farm seems to have enough
weed pests to last him until all the
various methods are tried out.
To kill quack grass is some job, yet
1t can be done, and the very best
method we have yet tried is the follow
ing: Late fall blowing to expose the
roots to frost; cultivation the follow
ing summer, twice week when the
ground was dry up to September; the
following spring any extra plants
which showed up were removed and
the field put into corn; the following
spring the field was put into barley
and wheat, says writer in an ex-
change. The method was thorough. ~
