WHEAT ,
FORECAST LIGHT

at 4s4,647, 900 Bushels

Washington. May S.-Winter wheat
production this year was forecast to-
day at 4S4,647, 900 bushels by the de-
partment OF agriculture which based
its estimates on conditions prevailing
May 1. The crop showed a slight I'm
provement from April /. the forecast
Of production being 1000, 900 bushels
larger than estimated a month ago.
Compared with last years crop the
prospective wheat crop has been re-
duced 33.S per cent.
Abandonment of acreage during the
winter was a little greater than in
average years amounting to 11.9 per
cent, or 4,605, 900 acres.
On the basis of May / reports a.
los, 1000 acres will be harvested this
year In comparison with nearly 49,
600. 900 acres last year.
Shortage OF labor and a backward
spring are believed to have resulted
in less abandonment than ordinarily
would have taken place, farmers for
these reasons allowing fields to stand
that otherwise would have been plow-
ed under and planted to other crops.
Work on the farm generally is much
behind owing to the cold and wet
spring. Flowing on May l was only
COL per cent completed, compared
with a tcn year average Of TIA per
cent. Spring planting was 50,2 per
cent finished while normally 1t is SO
per cent done on May /.

REVOLUTION WINS
OVER CARRANZA
President of Mexico Leaves Capital,
Reported Captured

FL Paso. May 10.-All OF Mexico ex-
cept the states of Yucatan, Campeche
and Chiapas and the northern part OF
the territory OF lower California, is in
the hands of the revolutionists, accord
ing to a bulletin given out tonight by
the local consulate OF the liberal Con-
st%itutional party
The bulletin confirmed the report Of
the capture Of President C~arranza near
Apizaco, Hidalgo and gave details.
at is also confirmed" the bulletin
said, that Generals Murgula Urquizo
and Barragan, the latter the famous
chief of STAFF of Carranza, were execut-
ed.
1t is confirmed, too, that General
Caidido Aguilar. son-in-law of Carran-
"a. and Manuel M. Dieguez lost their
lives in a fight In the state OF Vera
Cruz in which General Alberto Salinas,
nephew of Carranza, commander or
the aviation school, was wounded and
captured.
The Days Summary
C%arranza, yariously reported cap
tured, In flight or in hiding, Candida
Aguilar, his son-in-law, and minister
ot foreign affairs, executed; with Gen.
eral Francisco Murgula, commander of
the garrison in Mexico City, after a
wholesale slaughter of political pris-
oners, including fifteen generals; for
ces OF the revolution in control of the
capital and most Of the metropolitan
cities of the cuntry, while American
warships and marines continued to
move into stragetic positions, were the
foremost features of today's news.
Revolution Not Bloodless
Washington, May 1O.-Mexico's lat

apparently has not been without the
tropical season OF blood -letting.

are beginning to trjckle the stories OF
wholesale political executions, counter
c~xecutions and other accomplishments
which have SO frequently marked
struggles for supremacy in the latin
American countries.
Wires Uninterrupted
Communication between the United
States and the Mexican capital on
tinued internationally and uncertainty.
Continued reports of the cutting of
telegraph lines which carry cable dis
catches overland from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City, are supported by bor-
der reports that the line of C~arranza's
escape is held by the revolutionists.
Looking For Carranxa

Nothing matters so long as he removes

often totally unconscious OF the violent

consciousness.
Similarly, II any note jars the perfect

The Italian judges we're so completely
convinced by Professor Pastors argu'
ments that they decided Il would be a
fragrant injustice to penalize musical
genius like Toscanini with even 80 much
as the infiction OF fine.
Toscanini, as everybody knows, has had
an amazing career While still young
man he was acclaimed the greatest con.
ductor In Italy and since that day dis
eliminating critics have generally agreed
that nowhere is there to be found his
equal with the baton.
From the night when quite unexpect-
t0 1890, international Feature Service, Inc.
The Washington times., 1920-01-18

edly he was given his opportunity to con-
duct an opera for the first time his career
has been marked by many of the eccen-
tricites which the world associates with
genius.
It was In Rio Janeiro. Toscanini was
then only a humble cello player. When
the regular conductor was Kissed from
the orchestra pit somebody suggested try.
ing the young celloist in his place.
AS soon as the temperamental Tosca.
mini heard this suggestion he fed to a
dark corner in the basement Of the opera
house and hid himself under heap of old
costumes. Fellow members of the or.
chestra found him there, dragged him to
the pit and forced the baton into his hand.
In an instant he won the favor Of the
turbulent audience by discarding his score
and conducting entirely from memory.
From that night his fame was assured,
and within a few years all the great
musical centres were bidding fabulous
sums for his services.
Toscaninis phenomenal memory is one
Of the most striking characteristics Of his
genius. He has more than $50 operas in
his repertoire, and he has them so com.
pletely memorized that he never even
glances at a score while conducting. This
astonishing burden which his memory
carries probably accounts in large meas.
ure for his self-absorption and consequent
eccentricity.
'Toscanini was conductor at the Metro.
politan Opera House in New York for
several years, receiving, Il is said, S45, 900
Great Britain Rights Reserved.
The Washington times., 1920-01-18

the war he returned to his native land and
made every effort to enlist.
Although not accepted for military SER
vice on account of his age, Toscanini won
a silver medal for his bravery under fire
During the battle of Monte Santo he led
a band of musicians up shell-swept noun
tainside to the ruins of a convent in the
summit.
There, with shells bursting all around
he led his men through a long programme
of patriotic airs. Tranquil and calm," an
eyewitness wrote, 'his baton seemed to
be directing a concert, showing repeated
contempt for danger"
The music stirred the Italian soldiers
to Incompatible enthusiasm and they
turned what seemed like certain defeat
into a smashing victory over their Aus,
trian foes.
Many ardent music lovers affirm that
merely seeing Toscanini conduct is better
than hearing a whole opera under ordi-
nary conditions. The musicians In his
orchestra say that when he conducts cleo
trio sparks seem to fash from him-from
his finger tips, from his baton, from his
eyes.
The tremendous energy which Tosca-
mini consumes in thus galvanizing his
musicians with the force Of his person
ality frequently brings him to the verge
OF nervous breakdown. He is an indefa.
tigable worker, and when studying some
new opera will often go for weeks with
out regular meals and sleep.
Ever since the beginning of time
geniuses-musicians, poets, painters and
authors, notably-havs been acting in a
violent, absent-minded or eccentric man.
uer, and now we know why they do It and
why they are not responsible legally.
Professor Lombroso tells us that Bee
thoven, one Of the greatest OF composers,
was arrested at Neustadt for walking
through the streets without clothes. He
had been wandering in the forest, thinking
over new sonata, and in order to enjoy
greater freedom had thrown of most of
his clothing. When the composition was
complete In his mind he walked briskly
away. not thinking Of such earthly things
as the clothes he had left behind.
Lombroso has shown that many men of
genius are defective in part of their mental
structure, thus making possible the aDnoT-
NAL activity in that line in which they are
pre-eminent. Many have been deaf, de.
fcient in sensitiveness to pain, epileptic
and so forth.
Forgetfulness is a common peculiarity
OF genius. Sir Isaac Newton, while think
ing of the law OF gravitation, rammed his
niece's finger into his hot pipe, believing
that It was his own finger.
Mozart, another great musical composer,
when carving meat would cut his own
fingers, accustomed only to the piano, SO
frequently that he had to give up carving.
Button, the great French naturalist, while
thinking OF a puzzle In natural history,
climbed up a tower and slid down a rope
without knowing what he had done, al.
though he had seriously endangered his
life.
Rossini when conducting his BAR
bere," which was at first a failure, did
not realize that the public had left the
performance and went on conducting.
Donizetti, after beating his wife in a
savage manner, Immediately composed his
most beautiful air, Thou to whom God
hast given wings"

down. All the preliminary work
for the letting of contracts is be-

bids may be advertised and let and
the contractor have his machinery

The engineer estimates that the job
should be done in five months. al

came from the fact that arrivals of
corn were small and from an ad-
vance in hog quotations. On the
other hand. knowledge that British
