Continued From Page t.


Numerous fights occurred last night
between foreigners and Americans,
with soldiers participating when the
Mexican quarter Of Ell Paso was in
vaded and the foreigners sought shell
ter from enraged Americans. Police
men went from hotel to hotel advising
Mexicans to seek safety.
A secret meeting Of mining and
cattle men was held, it was said. to
organize an expedition to cross into
Mexico and hunt down the slayers of
their former companions. The meet
ing ended, however, without any &C.
ton being taken.
Gen. Pershing was Informed Of the
situation and Immediately interviewed
to restore order.
One hundred and fifty arrests were
made during the night. Beyond a few
broken heads, 1t was found none of the
Mexicans had sustained serious in
juries.
The disorder started early in the
evening when a squad Of soldiers
swung two by two down Ell Paso
street and declared they were going
to Clean the streets Of Mexicans.
Every Mexican encountered was bowl
ed over. If he put up a fight he was
overpowefed. .-a
Gen. Pershing ordered four COM
panies Of infantry to take charge after
it was seen that the police were un-
able to cope with the situation and
sentries were posted on street cor.
ners. Orders were issued that no one
would be allowed or the streets with

Grain Review

Chicago, Jan. 14.-RumOrs that fresh
advance in freight rates to Europe was
probable had a bearish effect today on
wheat. In this connection. Liverpool re-
ports said that buyers were holding off
on the chance that British government
might intervene to control the rapidly
growing tendency to raise vessel
charges. The passing of the cold wave
operated also as an advantage to the
bears. Opening prices, which ranged
from II to Nc decline to H@$c ad-
vance. were followed by a slight up
turn, but then a material setback all
around.
Later the market suffered a further
drop owing to reports that a bill to re-
move the Canadian duty on wheat had
been introduced at Ottawa. Besides,
pessimistic views were circulated as to
chances that the railroad em~bargoes
east might continue for an indefinite
time. The close was nervous y Is to
%@1c lower, with May at $1.271a and
July at $1.20A.
Better weather conditions eased the
corn market. Longs showed a disposi-
ton to realize profits. After opening hsc
OF to Nc up, prices underwent a mod
crate general sag.
An additional decline resulted from
advices that corn was being bougheto
come here from Kansas City. The close
was weak at A@K to INC net decline.
Oats weakened with corn and wheat.
Pit traders were free sellers.
Scattered selling by longs was suffi-
|cient to weigh down provisions. The
selling appeared to be based on the
lowering Of prices on grain and hogs.

WORKS
MIRACLE ON FARM
OHIO BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
HEARS OF THE WONDERS OF
NEW FORAGE CROP.

Columbus, O., Jan. 1S,-Farm mir
acles can be worked with alfalfa. F.
d. Coburr, former state secretary OF
agriculture in Kansas, said today in
an address at the annual meeting OF
the Ohio board OF agriculture. The
grass serves the triple purpose, he
said. Of r~ejuvenating the ground on
which It is grown, making q profitable
crop and giving more nutriment for
live stock than any other forage crop
Dean Alfred Vivian OF the college
of agriculture. Ohio state university,
told the farm institute workers. coun'
,ty fair managers and farmers who at
tended the meeting that soil fertility
cannot be maintained without use OF
phosphates under all circumstances
The use of heterogeneous material and
potash depends on local conditions
he said, .5tt
Other speakers on the program
were Governor Willis and President
John Begg OF the state board OF agri
culture.
Mr.. Coburn, referring to the benefit
Of alfalfa growing to soil. said: al
falfa roots penetrate the earth to
depths unknown by any others. They
assimilate mineral elements ef the
lower subsoils not otherwise available
bringing them to the surface converted
into merchantable commodities. They
delve their way downward In every
direction and in the natural processes
OF decay a part Of them Is always dy'
ing. The soil is honeycombed with
these vegetable pipe lines through
which the rains filter and carry fert1l'
ization from the surface. 81 .
'"The unique characteristic Of this
plant as q fertilizer is that 1t gathers
ten times as much nitrogen from the
air as it can use and the surplus is
deposited in little nodules In the roots
To rejuvenate a tired or subdue a
hard, dry stubborn soil, shoot 1t full
of alfalfa roots. They constitute the
perfect deep thing machine"
Mr.. Coburn said lands worth only
$5 an acre have been sold repeatedly
for $40 or more IN acre when seeded
in alfalfa. He quoted government re.
ports to show that the per cent OF pro
tein in alfalfa hay is 14.3 as compared
with 1872 in wheat bran, 1913 in Glow
er and So in timothy. ys-u
Failures in growing alfalfa are
caused only by carelessness by the
farmer, Mr.. Coburn asserted. He de-
plored the purchase of poor seed by
many inexperienced alfalfa growers.
