SWINDLE KANSAN
Banker-Farmer Testifies at
Trial in Indianapolis.
Dropped $4,000 and Police
Saved Him $4,000 More.

Indianapolis, June S.-George' W.
Cowles, a farmer and banker of Talmo,
Kan, met two confidence men while
on his way to attend a Billy Sunday
meeting in Kansas City. Mo-. later was
swindled. out of $4,000 and was pre-
vented from losing another $4,000 by
the Chicago police, according to the
story he told Judge James Deery of
the city court at the hearing of the
case of Arthur Denham, 80. who is
charged with being a fugitive from
justice.
As result of Cowles's testimony
Denham was arrested in the crowd
here for the automobile race on
Memorial day. One of the confidence
men scraped acquaintance with Cowles
and then introduced Denham as C H
Clark. the man who never lost a bet
on a horse race"
Cowles won a few small bets Then
Cowles put up a $4,000 creek and
won but he was told he would have
to produce $4,000 in cash to show
that his check was good. Cowles de-
posted the money and was then in
formed that Denham's partner had
placed another bet and lost all the
money. Cowles said Clark then beat
up his partner shamefully."
CowIes Worth 100000.
Cowles testified he did not lose con-
fidence in Clark and he met him later
in Chicago where the same plan was
being worked but that he was stop
ped by the Chicago police while on
his way to put up $4,000 in cash.
Cowles said he was indignant when
taken in charge by the Chicago olice
and insisted on being permitted to put
up the money. When the police
reached the pool room, the confidence
men were gone. Cowles said he was
worth about 100000.

Chicago, June $40 sun in the
heavens illumined rain-soaked Chicago
to-day: no sun of political ascendency
arose to chase away clouds of loutt
and apprehension Several favorlte
sons were hoping to rise.
It was still raining today. A cold
wind and a steady downpour added to
the general morning after feeling and
the pneumonia germ stalked across
Cook county like an invading host
Every downtown bar demonstrated the
popularity of the idea of preparedness
But no presidential nominee had Been
picked. nor even tentatively decided
upon by the Republican national con-
vention.
G. o. p. Wants Enthusiasm.
The organization Republican lead
ers were alive today to the necessity of
stirring things up. The moral effect
on delegates of shouting mobs, chok-
ing all hotel Hobbies, whose unchang-
ing cry of I'VE Want This or That
F'aVorite Son." was not discounted.
Nor was the fact that whereas yes
terday's Republican conclave evoked
no demonstration exceeding one min
ute, the Progressives forget the wealth
err and staged an hour and "a minutes
frenzy of enthusiasm.
Even the charge that the Progress
siye outburst was suspiciously well
stage managed did not get away from
the fact that it at least went off with
zip.
Hughes Most Likely.
Surface Indications continued to
show Hughes leading as the most like
ly, but there was an obvious slump in
the bouyancy of the Hughes boom, and
IT was apparent that favorite sons
were coming in for serious consider
alton that had not been accorded them
hitherto
"A picturesque character of the
Republican national convention is

resident of Washington, D. c. He was
a close personal friend of President
Lincoln and is said to be the sole sur

ADMIT SHIPS LOST
Berlin Says Dreadnaught Lutz-
SOW Sunk by British.
Cruiser ROstOck Also Lost, but
Report Is Suppressed.

London. June S.-A Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam says Ger
man official statement declares that
the loss of the cruisers Lutzsow and
Rostock in the battle off Jutland was
withheld for military reasons Both
ships are said to have sunk while on
their wayto a harbor for repairs.
This is the first mention of the loss
of the cruiser Rostock. The Rostock
was a small warship of 1900 tons and
was built in 1912. She carried 37S men
and was armed with twelve four-inch
guns and two torpedo tubes.
The Lutzsow was a $4,000 ton
dreadnaught battle cruiser. Her de-
struction has previously been claimed
by British naval officers.
Germany's Latest Report.
Berlin, June S---9I London.-An Of
fetal statement Used today gives the
total loss of the German high sea
land and up to the present time as one
battle cruiser. one ship of the line of
old construction. four smaller cruisers
and five torpedo boats.
The statement says:
"Of these losses the battleShip Pom
mern was launched in 1905. The loss
of the cruisers sWiesbaden, Elbing,
Frauen1ob and five torpedo boats has
already been reported in official
statements. For military reasons we
refrained until now for making pub
lie the loss of the battle cruiser Lutz-
sow and the cruiser Rostock."
The destruction of the Lutzsow was
claimed in the first statement issued
by the British admiralty. At the same
time the British claimed that two
German battleships and six destroyers
had been sent to the bottom.

BUILDING FOR STORING ALFALFA OR OTHER

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Drawings for hay shed which Is
to be part Of the permanent farm
equipment have been prepared by the
Office Of public roads and rural engi-
neering Of the department, and work
ing drawings, with bill of materials,
may be had upon application to that
office.
The construction o: this shed is such
that 1t may be built in as many sec
lions, each 16 feet long, as are needed
to meet the different requirements Of
individual farms. The width is % feet
and the height to the caves 20 feet,
with a Quarter-pitch gable roof. If the
building Is more than three sections, or
4S feet long, there should be hay
door in each end. Each section, 1t is
calculated, has capacity Of about
20 tons Of average hay, the exact
capacity varying, of course, with the
kind Of hay and its condition when put
In. With good alfalfa it may be pos
sible to put as much as 25 tons into
each section. In case the build
ing is used for alfalfa lean-tO
for storing baled hay may be built on
one or both sides.
As planned, the shed is of the maxi
mum width consistent with ease In

AVERAGE HAUL OF PRODUCTS
Distance Placed at 6.5 Miles by De.
partment Of Aoriculture-Good
Roads Are Needed.

The federal department of agricul-
ture states that the average haul Of
farm products from field to market is
6.5 miles.
The importance of good roads needs
little more Illustration than this. With
solid rOadbed. a six-mile haul is
cheap and easy. With the roads
turned into mudholes. as they are
in many parts of our land at the
critical season, such trip is fright
fully expensive and sometimes impos-
sible.
One Southern paper. fighting for
better roads, publishes a photograph
OF a four-mule team hauling a single
bale Of cotton-5OO pounds-and stuck
in the mud less than a mile from the
edge of the city. This is an excep-
ton. perhaps, but not a rare one.
There are thousands of cases in which
1t costs more to get wheat from farm
to elevator than to carry 1t from the
elevator across continents and oceans
to the place where it is ground and
baked into bread.-Chicago Journal.

WHY PEDIGREES ARE USEFUL
Purebred 10 Result of Careful Seiec-
ton and Use of Animals With
Strong Points.

An animal in some ways resembles
river, which is the result of the COM
bining of many streams. The animal
is the result of the combining of the
blood lines of parents. grandparents,
great-grandparents and so on. If one
Of the streams is muddy, though the
rest be clean, the whole river becomes
murky. and likewise one poor ances-
tor will weaken the animal. That Is
why pedigrees are kept. They do for
the animal what keeping the muddy
stream from flowing into the river
does for the river. The purebred is
the result of careful selection and use
of the animals with strong points and
just as careful an elimination of those
that could not add strength or quality.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-09-29

has been left clear of braces in order
that the hay may be gotten in and out
without interference. In the drawing
prepared by the department the top
seven feet at the sides are covered, but
If desirable the whole building may be
inclOsed.
Since this hay shed Is to be perma-
nent, it should be located on we'll
drained ground and In situation as
convenient to as many fields as pos
sible. The plans call for concrete piers
in order to avoid the rotting of timbers
from contact with the ground. The
frame Is strongly braced and intended
to withstand any storm except a
cyclone. AS fire is the chief danger to
a building of this kind. lightning rods
should be installed. This will lessen
the danger from this source.
The cost of such a structure will
vary, of course. with the situation and
local conditions. With lumber at $50
a thousand, however, 1t is estimated
that the materials in a Intersection
shed, such as that shown in the illus
tration, % feet by 4S feet, should cost
little more than $500. A shed of this
size may be expected to hold about go
tons Of hay. Including the cost of Ia
Dor. the shed should be built complete.
