speech: Baker admitted that it was
substantially correct except that he
had not said the acts charged to rev
dictionary soldiers were committed
by men under Washiugton's personal
command. Asked what correction, II
any, he desired to make in the story,
he replied, Il think the story seems
substantially correct except that did
not say men under Washington's

The Tribune's report was made by
one Of its stan men. There is no ma

and that or the Jersey City Journal.
II is too late for Baker TO crawl back

SEEKS PEACE WITH BELGIUM
Report Germany Is Ready to Make
Separate Overtures.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Following
closely on the inspired utterances in
the Frankfurter Zeitung, suggesting
that Germany is prepared to treat
with Belgium for separate peace, in
quiry here in well Informed quarters
gave strong ground to believe that
Germany is likewise sounding out
Japan's willingness to listen to sepa-
rate peace proposals.
Whether any direct overtures have
been made to the Toxic government is
not known, but in discussing the pros
pect members Of the diplomatic corps
In close touch with the far-eastern
situation called attention to the fact
that in recent weeks the japanese
newspapers apparently without obiec-
ton from the government have been
indulging in more or less hostile criti-
cism to Great Britain.

CATTLE RUSTLERS EXECUTED
Mexican Murderers of Bert Akers,
American, Shot In Cemetery.

Ell Paso Tex. Jan. 24.-Punishment
was meted out to the Mexican cattle
rustlers who murdered Bert Akers at
the Mexican village of San Lorenzo
twelve miles east of Juarez, according
to General Gabriel Gaviere, command
er of the Juarez garrison, who an
nounced that Bernardo and FREDERICK
Duran, the men who confessed to the
killing, had been summarily executed
in Juarez.
The execution, he said, took place
at the Juarez cemetery. The Duran
brothers, who were natives of New
Mexico, had been in the Juarez jail
since the killing. Instead of taking
the case to civil courts the general
put the case before a military tribunal
and the verdict was death for the two
men.
Before the verdict was returned the
Jaurez Judge Of letters, the civil Of
fetal who ordinarily would have
handled the case, was given an OPP
portunity to read the testimony and
the judgment Of the military court
was approved.

SIX AMERICANS
HANGED TO Tree
zapata Bandits Murder and
Rob u. s. Citizens.
OUTLAWS OvERRUN COUNTRY
Mining Man Reaches Border With
crewsome Tale of outrages Upon
Americans by Mexican Bandits
Carranza Authorities Helpless.

Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 24.-Zapsta
bandits operating in Oaxaca, Mex,
have caused a reign of terror among
foreigners, particularly Americans.
many of whom have been murdered
or robbed. according to an affidavit
made by an American mining man,
Andrew J. Trumbo of Los Angeles,
Cal, who made public a grewsome
tale of bandit outrages here.
Trumbo declares that he saw six
bodies, said to be those of Americans,
hanging from one tree, and two bodies
swinging from another. The Carranza
authorities are helpless and the coun-
try is being overrun by outlaws, he
says.
At Ell Paso Trumbo related an &C
count of the blowing up recently OF
passenger train near Puebla with
loss of twenty-three lives.
Twenty miles southwest of Ejutla
I saw the bodies of six men hanging
to trees, and was told by Mexicans
that they were Americans" Tsumbo
stated in his affidavit. mo one knew
their names. About quarter OF
mile farther on | saw two more badly
decomposed bodies hanging to tree.
I was told they also were Americans"
Conditions became so unbearable
that he could not remain in the Next
can state with his family, Trumbo de-
clared in his statement in explaining
his departure from Mexico. He and
his wife were mistreated and and in
suited, he said.
"U. r. Burton. an American mining
man." the affidavit says, was forced
to pay 81 900 gold and was then put
in Jail under penalty of death in order
to extort more money. He refused
and was later released. He fled to
Tehuacan
"Tom West, an American, was shot
through the head by bandits at Tavi-
che. but he recovered. S. Ditlear. a
Frenchman, owner of mercantile es-
tablishment in Oaxaca, while en-
route to the City of Mexico to pur-
chase supplies, was held by General
Aguilar and robbed of all his money,
about 100000 pesos, which is equiva-
lent to 100000 gold"
A Mr.. Hamilton, an American mine
owner at Taviche, suffered similarly,
Trumbo said, because he possessed
passport signed by General Pablo
Gonzales. He was released when he
paid the ransom demanded, according
IN the affidavit
Trumbo said Clifford Robinson,
American consular agent at Oaxaca,
knew of the outrages, but was unable
to report them because Aguilar CEN
sored his mail.

Tests With Potatoes.

A report has been received by the De-
partment of Agriculture of tests made in
Ireland in which potatoes were allowed
to sprout before being planted The
average results obtained in every county
in Ireland during the ten years of the
experiment, showed that sprouted seed
yielded twelve tons and unsprouted seed
ten tons per acre. According to the
tests the advantages of storing potatoes
during the winter in sprouting boxes
are as follows: "Q) A substantial in
crease in yield; (2) planting may be de-
ferred for time in an unfavorable
season without detriment to the crop;
3) several weeks growth is secured in
the boxes previous to planting; the first
bud is preserved, which results in the
crop making rapid growth when planted,
enabling it to smother weeds; ll) the
crop is usually ready for lifting several
weeks before that from unsprouted seed;
Isl seed potatoes can be safely and CON
veniently stored in boxes and easily ex-
amined for the removal of unsound tub
ers or for the detection of those OF other
varieties which may have been acct

TURKEY ADMITS

of, Punishment Of Commander, and
Reparation and Future Assurances.
Washington, Jan. 24.-According to
an unofficial report, which reached
here by the way of Amsterdam, Tur-
key admits that one of her submarines
was responsible for the sinking of the
Persia. Officials of the state depart
ment and Turkish embassy officials
had no confirmation of the report.
In the opinion of many persons it
would be to all intents and purposes
an ultimatum demanding of Turkey
under threat of an immediate sever
ance of diplomatic relations, prompt
disavowal of, punishment of the COM
mander responsible. reparation and
assurance for the future. the Ameri-
can note to Turkey would carry if il
is established that Turkish sub
marine sank the Persia.
The sinking of the Persia, coming
on the heels of the destruction of the
Italian steamer Ancona aroused wide
spread indignation.
Many here were inclined to regard
the Amsterdam dispatch suspiciously
because of the fact that the United
States has been without a shred Of
evidence to prove that the Persia was
attacked by submarine. For that
reason the American government,
though chatting under its helplessness,
had practically resigned itself to the
prospect that the tragedy would go
down into history as one of the mys-
teries of the waters.
From affidavits in possession of the
state department there was nothing
to show whether the liner was attack
ed by a submarine, struck mine or
blew up from an internal explosion
nothing but the indefinite statement
of Second officer Bromley that he had
seen the wake of a torpedo. There is
nothing definite or indefinite to show
that any one on the Inflated steamer
saw a submarine, much less to indi-
cate the nationality of the submarine.

Storinq CABBAGE,

Owing to the low prices for cabbage
This year, many growers are turning to
some method of storing the crop, says
Albert Il. Wilkinson in the Country
Gentleman. One Of the cheapest and
most satisfactory methods is to put the
severed heads in a square pile in the
woods. where tie trees are thick
enough so that the direct rays of the
sun cannot penetrate.
The ground should be cleared of un.
derbrush and the cabbage laid with
butts up. The pile should have sides us
straight as possible and should he fiat
on top. Over this pilc of cabbage put
straw or leaves to the depth OF one
foot.
As soon as the snow falls it should
be packed down over the pile lhe
cabbage will keep in perfect condition
throughout the winter,
