according TO United States Attorney Mar

conspiracy to instigate strikes in mu-
millions factories, were turned over today
to Mr.. Marshall by l.. p. Straube, former
secretary to the council
This evidence consists of speeches.
notes. the bylaws OF the council and
other material which, II was declared at
the federal building. supplies important
evidence for the prosecution.
One official said: 'straube's evidence
substantiates the case against these con-
spirators In every detail"
Straube came voluntarily from Chicago
to place his evidence before Mr. Mar
shall and will appear before the grand
jury
His information confirms. It was stated
the theory nf the government that the
peace council was dominated by an inner
ring OF five men, all agents OF Won Rim
telen. Many other members of the or
ganization were sincere peace advocates,
who did not realize what was going on
in the inner circles.
The OFFICERS OF the council were Con-
gresham Frank Buchanan of Illinois
president; II. Robert Fowler former Con-
gresham from Illinois. general COUNSEL
Henry u. Martin, president of the anti
Trust league. treasurer, and Herman
Shulteis, director.
1t was also learned today that Mr.
Marshall has the documents which were
seized by the British government when
Won Rintelen was taken prisoner at Fal-
mouth. They will play an important part
in the governments case. As to whether
they throw any light on the, German gov
ernments disavowal OF Won Rintelen as
its agent Mr.. Marshall would only say.

to Secretary Lansing"
The new evidence is so voluminous that
the calling of the grand jury. which was
to have reconvened Wednesday, may be
postponed until the end of the week.

BEEF CATTLE AND SWINE.

w. A. Cochel, professor of Animal
Husbandry in Kansas State College,
has accepted the invitation from the
Montana State College to give spec
ial lectures and demonstrations on
problems in "Beef and Pork Produc-
ton" during the Farmers Week
and Stockmen's Convention, Janu-
airy 24-29. 1916.
Professor Cochel is especially we'll
qualified for this work. He did con-
siderable work at Purdue University
| Lafayette, Indiana, on cattle and
hog feeding. and because of the sue
cess of his work there he was made
| Animal Husbandman at Pennsyl-
vania State College. From there he
went to Kansas, where for the past
| four years he has been head of the
| Animal Husbandrv Department,
during which time he built up one
of the strongest departments in the
country. He has the reputation of
being one of the foremost investiga-
| tors in feeding and breeding prob
lens in the United States
When most of the crops of Kan
sas failed in 1913, Professor Cochel
was the man who conceived the
scheme of extending and increasing
credit to the stockmen, in order
that they might purchase feeds to
carry their breeding herds at low
prices. Seeing the practical business
side of the question, the bankers ex-
tended farm loans and loans upon
| livestock to the limit and thus
saved to Kansas thousands of dol
lars and in many cases the work of
years of careful breeding that would
otherwise have been lost.
| Recently the Governor of Kansas
became interested in the question
of providing a market for Kansas
stock that would come more nearly
paying the farmer satisfactory
price than they have been able to
secure on the open market for the
past year.
Professor Cochel proposed the
scheme of state abattoire to kill and
handle the farmers stock. Thus the
| farmer could consign his stock to
state plant and sell the dressed car
cass instead of the live animal. This
would eliminate one to three middle
men and reduce to a large extent
| the speculation feature of the pres
ent mode of selling.
Professor Cochel has had the con-
fidence of the farmers wherever he
has been located. He has very di-
rect and pleasing way of presenting
his work and all interested in live
stock work should arrange to hear
his talks during Farmers Week.

But perfect feet are absolutely es-
sential to Marines, and since the

one was told that he wouldn't do.
