SHOW FEED TESTS
Stock Will Be Examined a
Hays Experiment Station.
Western Kansas Cattlemen
Gather for Roundup.

Hays, Kan, April Gentlemen
from all parts of western Kansas were
here today for the annual Roundup
at the Fort Hays Branch Experimental
Station. Officials at the station have
prepared to show the 500 cattlemen,
who are expected to attend expert
mentS in feeding. Five pens contain
ing 20 steers each, all of the same age
and kind, were inspected by the Wis
itors The animals in the first pen
were fed kaffir silage and alfalfa hay;
to the cattle in the second pen kafflr
stover and alfalfa hay were fed; in
the third kaffir silage and sudan hay;
in the fourth feterita silage and alfal-
ia hay; and in the fifth the cattle were
fed kaffir silage and sudan hay but
were allowed to run on the range.
The cattlemen were given typewrit-
ten copies of the test and they eX-
amined the cattle to see the effect of
the different feeding. Inspection of
the feed lots of horses, mules, colts,
sheep and hogs also was another in
teresting part of today's program.
An experiment which has been
started by the station is one that is
expected to determine whether the in
creased size of the COW produced is
worth the increased cost of feeding.
This experiment will take five years, =
was pointed out, and two pens of forty
head of heifers of the same kind are
being used in the test.

COPENHAGEN STORY OF BATTLE


London, June AFTER rumors had
been flying about all day that a naval
baule had occurred in the North Sea
the British public was given news by
the admiralty this evening that will
send painful shock throughout the
country.
According TO the admiralty an
nouncement in an engagement off
Jutland on Wednesday afternoon the
British battle cruiser fleet met a Ger
man fleet with the result that three
British battle cruisers were sunk, to-
gether with three cruisers and sew
eral destroyers, while sixe destroyers
were still unaccounted for.
Battle Is Long.
The battle seems to have lasted
through the afternoon and the fol-
lowing night The German fleets
losses are stated to have been serious,
but no very definite information OF
these losses are afforded by the ad-
miralty announcement. One battle
cruiser is declared 70 have been de-
stroyed and another severely dam
aged, while the belief is expressed
that a large number of German de-
stroyers were disposed Of
The news was flashed out in spe-
cial editions OF the evening newspa-
pers and caused greater CONSERVATION
in the west end of London than has
been witnessed on any previous oeca-
sion since the declaration OF war.
Led Into Mine Field.
The frankncss of the admiralty an
uouncement concerning the serious
nature Of the British losses and the
apparently small losses OF the Ger
mans in comparison led to the as
sumption in most minds that the
British vessels must have been led
into a mine field
Following quickly upon the adj
miralty announcement came the Ger
man official version OF the fight,
which in general confirms the Brit.
ish account, but carries the claim
that the battleship Warsprite also
was sunk auu othef BRITISH battle
ships damaged.

FAVORITE SONS
ARE LOSING HOPE
Managers of Several of Them Now
Think Fight is Between
Hughes and Roosevelt.
NO HUGHES HEADQUARTERS

Chicago, June 2.-Republican lead
ers from all parts Of the country are
arriving by every train and the
crowds of politicians in the hotel lob
bies are increasing proportionately as
the time for the calling of the repub-
lican national convention to order ap-
proaches.
While the managers OF the different
"fayorite son" presidential candidates
insist that if they are able to keep
their delegates in line one of their
number may win, they are beginning
to admit that the final contest may
develop into a fight to finish be-
tween Roosevelt and Hughes on the
floor of the convention.
An informal poll OF number OF the
states which have candidates indi-
Gates that after the first few ballots
have been taken and the "fayorite
sons begin to drop out of the con-
test many OF the instructed delegates
VIII go 10 Roosevelt or EugheS as
their second choice.
Penrose Delegates Uninstructed.
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
vana, who arrived today said:
Three quarters Of the seventy-six
delegates from Pennsylvania are un-
instructed, We are going to do what
in our judgment is best for the inter
est of the republican party. We have
no preference at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. The claim made by friends
OF Governor Brumbaugh that they
will have half of the Pennsylvania
delegation is absolutely untrue"
Henry G. Wasson, national COM
mitteeman from Pennsylvania and
one OF the leaders Of the Brumbaugh
faction, today expressed the opinion
that Roosevelt is. the second choice
of about sixty of the seventy-six del
egates from his state.
He claims forty-onc votes for Gov
ernor Brumbaugh on the first ballot.

NO NEW ALIGNMENT IS SHOWN
Much to Be Made of Preparedness
Parade Which Will Come
Today.
DELEGATES NOT ALL ON HAND
BY VICTOR RosEWATER.

Chicago, June 2.-(Special Tele-
gram JAS the convention week
comes closer the skirmishing between
the forces marshallcd in the different
camps is getting sharper, but it has
developed no new alignment.
II is still a concerted effort TO head
off and break the Hughes sentiment,
and while there is apparent co-opera-
ton to this end by the favorite sons,
the heavy work devolyes on the bat
teries set up and munitioned by
George w. Perkins and his Wall
street and big business adjutants on
behalf of Roosevelt.
T. r. Cohorts Busy.
The Roosevelt sharpshooters are in
continuous action, both the troops in
the trenches and birdmen in the air
above, and they have most of the
Chicago newspapers pounding out the
big noise with all the variations.
The Roosevelt people are also try
ing to turn to the account of the
colonel the monster preparedness pa
rade arranged for tomorrow. In all
the invitations and announcements
this demonstration is specially la
belled "nonpolitical and nonpartisan,"
but the signs are unmistakable that it
is TO be utilized so far as possible to
influence the convention
think the parade is timed trifle
early for this purpose because the
great majority Of the delegates who
do the voting are not yet here, and
will not be on the ground befoFe Mon
day and Tuesday.
No Visible Factionalism.
In the interval the national COM
mittee is grinding on contests and
without being accused of deciding
them according to the presidential
preferences Of the men seated. For
tunately no factional alignment inside
the committee is visible, such as was
forced last time by the contention be-
tween the supporters of the only two
candidates i'll the field.
That reminds me, too, of another
thing noticeable by contrast. Four
years ago, it will be remembered,
tremendous hubbub was raised as to
whether a prospective member of the
committee who had received a prefer
ence vote in direct primary should
take his seat at once and oust the
sitting member, whose term had not
expired.
Case From South Dakota.
Well, there is one such committee
man-elect here, w. c. Cook of South
Dakota, and possibly others, in ex-
actly that same situation, but no one
is setting up any claim that he should
begin active service in advance of the
convention that chooses the new COM
mittee even though in the case Of Mr..
Cook, the sitting member is holding
merely by appointment to fill va
cancy created by the death OF the pre-
viously elected committeeman.
