that generally speaking Great Brit
ain had come to the conference to
take part with the other nations IN
preparation of steps to make China
a stable country and a real factor
In the world trade. The world war
md the ensuing Russian revolution
had shown, 1t was argued, that the
welfare of every great country was
an essential part Of the well being
ofthe world at large. Great Brtaiu'B
policy, 1t was said, was to develop
China not only for herself but for
the benefit Of the whole world. II
was added that Great Britain had
no wish to be selfish though the
highest form OF selflshness porhaps
was doing good to others. Incldent-

toward a more nearly equal balance of
imports and exports. Especially note
worthy has been the volume Of goods
as reflected in the figures showing de-
creased foreign shipments and increas-
ed receipts from abroad, the board said.
Unemployment was on the increase,
the board reported, despite the antici.
pated improvement in the labor market
due to the opening of spring agricul-
tural activities. However, it added,
voluntary unemployment has been con-
tinually augmented by increasing labor
difficulties accompanying wage reduc-
tions.
Alphabetically, the board declared
the situation may be characterized az
unfavorable and backward. Tho wet,
cold weather, it explained, interfered
with crop development and did great
damage in certain sections. The fruit
crop has suffered severely, it reported
and the development of the cotton
crop has ben retarded.

URGES USE OF SCIENCE
TO COMBAT CRIME

CHICAGO, June 1.-Crime must be
combatted by science if real progress
toward improving society is to be e1.
pected, according to Dr.. William Kick.
son, head of the psychopathic labora-
tory. His opinions are contained in
his annual report to Chief Justice Har-
~ Olson Tuesday.
DR.. Hickson declared the belief that
the laws would eventually be 90
changed as to presume all criminals
are insane and to put the burden of
proving them sane on the state.
"Thefe - . marked change coming
into the law" he said. "There is a
marked change to make it scientific.
There is a gradual recognition Of the
complete inefficiency and breakdown
Of our present ideas and methods of
handling crime, realization that our
methods are costly and demoralizing. "
In the light of present knowledge Of
eriminology, he said. existing methods
of handling crime are Just as silly and
painful as the trial and punishment of
animals.

GOVERNMENT AID
FOR STOCK men

WASHINGTON. May 31.-An ap-
preparation of $405,OOO to enable the
bureau of animal industry to pay cat
tie owners indemnities for the loss Of
cattle found to be infected with tuber-
culOsis is contained in the deficiency
appropriation bill.
"our present plan,'' said Dr.. John
r. MOhler, chief of the bureau, "in
accordance with the law, is to give the
farmers one-third of the difference be.
tween the salvage Of the infected ami.
mails and their appraised value, not to
exceed $25 for grade animal, and $50
for a pure-bred animal.
"The state must pay at least one.
third and the owner loses the balance.
The work has grown by leaps and
bounds and is one Of the most popular
activities the bureau has ever under
taken. 1t is carried on compulsory
agreement without compulsion being
used at any time.'
Because of the exhaustion of the in.
demnity item the Republican house
leaders hurried to the support Of the
cattle raisers of the country and in
cludcd the appropriation in the bill.

ALFALFA FOR GROWING PIGS.

AMES, Iowa, May 31-Alfalfa' 10
the greatest, most economical and most
efficient swine forage crop, John M.
Evvard of the Iowa agricultural exper-
imcnt station says. Mr.. Evvard found
in experiments that not only was al
falfa a palatable forage crop, but it
yielded heavily those constituents nee.
essary to pig growth and furnishes ma
terials which are deficient in corn.
Pige which had corn salt and tank
ago and plenty Of alfalfa made the
best gains. Where pasture WAS not
used it took twelve pounds more corn
and nineteen pounds more tankage to
get hundred pounds Of weight than
where alfalfa pasture was used.
Alfalfa that Is green and growing,
plus good yellow or white corn, makes
tho best homegrown ration for any
swine,' Mr.. Evvafd said.

HENRY R. WOLCOTT
DIES IN HONOLULU

DENVER, May S1.-Henry Roger
Wolcott, Colorado pioneer mining naa,
civil war veteran and philanthYopist,
died today in Honolulu, according -
a cablegram received here. A cable
gram yesterday offered the first infor
nation that he was seriously i'll. He
was rs years old and unmarried.
Born in Long Meadow, Mass, March
Is, 1s46, Mr.. Wolcott began life a. .
bank celrk in Cleveland, resigning to
enlist in the Cleveland regiment in the
Civil war. After the war he began a
commercial business career in Spring
field, Mass, later going to Chicago,
and then transferred his interests -
the then booming West, coming to COL
orado in 1869, to engage in mining.
In mining Mr.. Wolcott was success
full, and after accumulating fortune
he engaged in various financial enter
prises, serving as president Of the old
Denver, Utah and Pacific railroad, wise
president Of the First National bank,
president Of the Colorado Telephone
company and vice president Of the Col
orado Fuel and Iron company during
succeeding years. For many years he
was a director of the Equitable Life
Insurance company Of New York and
was prominent in club circles in Don
yer, New York, Boston and Washing
ton.
In 1878, Mr.. wolcott was elected
state senator from Gilpin county and
in the same body was his broher, Ed
ward O. wolcott, as state senator from
Clear Creek county. After that tern
he devoted his political efforts in b.
half of his brother, who became United
States senator, and in the campaign Of
1898 was an unsuccessful candidate for
governor.
Mr.. Wolcott was a heavy eontriba-
tor to Colorado College at Colorado
Springs, and built the Wolcott observ-
atory for that school.
In 1910 Mr.. Wolcott virtually retired
from business and spent the greater
part of his time in Bermuda and Hon
olulu, though he still maintained MS
legal residence in Denver. His last
visit to the United States was in 1915.

REVIEWS BUSINESS
FOR MONTH OF may
Federal Reserve Board Says
There Is Slight Prospect
Of Improvement
FARMING IS BACKWARD

WASHINGTON, June While ga
definite turn for the bettern has been
taken apparently by some branches Of
industry and the business outlook CON
tinues generally more favorable, there
il but little prospect of San immediate
sharp improvement Of conditions the
federal reserve board declared tonight
in it's May review.
Recovery in production and distribu-
tion has been improving, the board
said, but slowly and greatly retarded.
However, it added, the more hopeful
attitude has continued and 10 prepar-
ing for active development in some in
dustries.
Financially, the month was one of
increasing strength and more prosper
Gus outlook, the board asserted In
various sections, it was explained,
there has been an easing Of the demand
for funds, resulting partly from ac-
ceptance of lower price levels and from
the adjustment of business to new con-
ditions. Irregularity and lack Of uni
formity still exists in the retail price
field, the board observed. Serious OBJ
stacles to the final adjustment Of
wages was forecast unless retail prices
move faster to their final basis.
