WAGNER NOT
CONSCIOUSLY
DISLOYAL TO u.s..
(Ry Associatad Press.l


When Mayor John P. Mitchell
Of New York, stated recently
that the opposition of State
Senator Robert r. Wagner to
the passage OF the Rockaway fortifica-
tons bill indicated that the senator
was working more in the interests OF
Germany than in the interests OF the
United States, he did not intend to
charge the legislator with conscious
and Intentional disloyalty to this
country. This declaration was made
by the mayor late yesterday, while UNI
der cross-examination before the sen.
ate on charges of having made false
and malicious report concerning
Senator Wagner in his executive ca.
pacity.
Friends of. Senator Wagner inter-
preted Mayor Mitchel's answer as q
vindication of the senator's patriotism.
Senator Wagner, it was explained,
resented especially any implication
that he was not loyal American cit
lien, although he was born in Prus-
STA. The mayor said he stood by his
assertion that Senator Wagner's hos
tility to the Rockaway legislation has
delayed the Notifications construction
work from early in February until
the present time; that the United
states government did not profit
thereby but that the German govern
ment and the Rockaway Pacific cor
poration, owners Of the land in con-
troversy were the only benefciaries OF
Mr.. -Wagner's obstructive tactics.

HARDWARE TOO HARD
Cow Eats Nails, Wire, Etc., And Now
She's Dead.

Lawton, N. D.. April 4.-The high
cost OF feed for cows has begun ID
show it's results. One well pure bred
cow. belonging to e. ]. Brown, tried
by eating nails, pieces Of wire and other
articles too numerous to mention, to
save hay and feed, but, because the
stomach Of a COW has not become ac-
customed to such feeds, as yet, the
metal failed to be digested and the
cow is no more.
Brown noticed the animal losing
flesh and called a doctor. He said the
animal had tuberculosis and 1t was
separated from the rest Of the herd.
Treatment was given her, but she
failed to recover, and one morning was
found dead in her stall.
Brown became curious and had the
organs examined. In the cows stomach
were found nearly q hatful of old
nails, belt buckles and pieces OF fence
wire. One piece of wire was six inches
long and had gone through the ami
mails stomach and pierced one lung.
