Mrs. Ripley, Director of State Fedora

on Amendment No. 1.
(Farm Bureau News Service

Farm Bureau News Service)
Statements urging support of the
rural credits amendment at the polls
on November z were issued last week
by the three candidates for governor
The statements are in line with
pledges contained in the republican
democratic and farmer-labor party
platforms. Letters from J. A. O.
Preus, republican, Edward Indrehus,
democrat, and Magnus Johnson, far
mer-labor, were made public by J. F.
Reed, chairman Of the farmers spe-
cial committee on Amendment No. 1,
in the order in which they were re-
ceived, after each had teen asked to
give the committee his position with
respect to the amendment.
The statement received from J. A.
o. Preus, incumbent end republican
candidate, follows:
"The adoption by the voters of
Amendment No. 1, the rural credits
amendment to the constitution, is
necessary to complete the program of
beneficial farm legislation which the
last legislature tried to put into effect.
If passed, it will supplement and fit in
with the marketing legislation passed
in 1921 and which is now in force.
"The credit system which will be
put in effect if the amendment is
passed will in no sense be a burden
on the taxpayers, nor will it be solely
for the benefit of the farmers. It will
furnish to investors, whether in the
city or country, chance to place their
money scfely and at fair interest
rates. To farmers, it will furnish
loans at reasonable interest, and loans
which, with the interest, may be paid
off in convenient sums from year to
year, until the entire debt is can
celled. It will not conflict with the
federal farm loan system, but will
supplement it.
II can not see how it will be harm
full to any legitimate business interest

which he transplanted bit OF the
beasts native jungle. and so managed
to fool IL TO such an extent that II re-
manned alive But five others that Mr..
Joseph started from Australia with died
before his ship got to Honolulu.
The platypus is about eighteen TO
twenty inches long. has webbed feet
and a bill like duck. 1t lays eggs and
then nurses its young, like the echidna.
and both Il and the echidna are of the
family of Monotremata. The scientific
name of the platypus Is Ornlthorhyn-
chus paradoxus. which any people who
have seen II think Is long for ornery.
II eats angleworms and shrimps. and
IL IL so extremely nervous that II
cannot be handled. DR.. William It.
Hornaday. head of the Zoo. said last
night that the platypus Is probably the
most important acquisition of the Zoo
In many years. Because OF the nerv-
BUSINESS of the beast and the necessity
of secluding 1t, the platypus will be on
exhibition only for about an hour a
day. on dates which will be announced

JOKICHI TAKAMINE
DYING in HOSPITAL
japanese Scientist Who Dis
covered Andrenalin Has
Nephritis.

DR. Jokichi Takamine. scientist. -
critically i'll in the Lenox Hill Hospital,
where it was said yesterday there was
slender hope for his recovery. He has
been at the hospital since June S. when
he suffered a relapse after long ILL.,
ness. He has been under constant care
of DR.. Max Einhorn. one Of the physi-
clans who attended President Mckinley
in his last Illness
Members of DIR. Takamine'sa family
said yesterday that until late Thursday
they had expected his death at almost
any moment. but he appeared to have
rallied during the last few hours. Mrs
Takamine, an American, and one OF
their sons have rooms near the hospital
and are with him constantly. He has
nephrits and is conscious only part of
the time.
Cables and kilograms have arrived
hourly inquiring after the condition of
the chemist. whose fame is interna.
tional. There have been many inquir-
les from Japan. where the Emperor and
many scientific societies have conferred
degrees on him. Statesmen and other
leading men of Japan, including Baron
Shibusawa, leading financier of his
country; the Imperial Academy of
Japan and members of the Japanese
Embassy at Washington have inquired
almost daily.
DR. Takamine was taken i'll last sum-
mer, but insisted upon taking an active
part in entertaining the delegs ton of
his countrymen attending the arma-
ment conference. He became confined
to his bed in his home in Passaic N. j.,
last December. One of his most impor-
taht discoveries was adrenalin, n
powerful heart stimulant. by use OF
which some surgical operations can be
performed without loss of blood.
! In 1890 DR.. Takamine came to this
country to reside. He had been a dele
gate to the Cotton Centennial In New
Orleans in 1885 and at that time Miss
Caroline Hitch OF New Orleans was

CRITICS IN GAS CASE
Public Service Chairman Finds
No Basis for Complaint.

In the case of the complaint against
the quality of gas furnished by the

cause of the charges made against
William A. Prendereast chairman of
the Public Service Commission. by
James B. limerick of the Ridgewood
Community Council, the cha yester-
day issued a singing order
He found that limerick and his friends
had made no attempt to furnish proper
evidence as to the qualitysof the gas and
the city had failed to comply with the
low which requires It to test gas. He or
dered the case to remain on the calendar
until some proper evidence was forth
coming.
This case plainly shows he de-
clared. ''the length to which some peo-
pie will go to create false impression

The New York Geological Garden at
Bronx Park acquired a duck billed platy-
pus Yesterday. and there will be great re-
joicing among naturalIsts and animal
lovers everywhere, because this Is fthe
first OF the animals ever to reach the
Western Hemisphere alive. Further
more, It is the lowest known form OF
mammal life. and ls considered by
scientists to be the connecting link be-
tween mammals and birds. II Is a sort
OF cousin to the echidna. copy of which
was on exhibition at the Zoo some
months ago. and which was famous
principally because II had tongue
longer than its body and nobody could
ever find what It did with II.
But the duck billed platypus ls more
rare than the echidns. Never before
has a specimen been known TO live away
from the jungles of Australia. that

Against Wards Wife
and Her Mother.
INVESTIGATION TO GO ON
Judge Summons 23 Witnesses
for More Hearings the Lat
ter Part Of Next Week.

The so-called Ward conspiracy pro-
ceedings before Justice Morschauser
yesterday afternoon were abandoned
for the time being when, just before
noon. Lee--Parsons Davis. formerly
District Attorney, representing Mrs. N
Willard Curtis, mother-in-law OF
Walter 8. Ward, self-accused slayer OF
Clarence Peters. appeared before Dis
trict Attorney Frederick Weeks ano
said he intended to contest the legality
of the hearing. :.
Mr.. Weeks and Justice Morschauser
apparently conferred and withdrew
the subp9na4 against Mrs. Ward and
MEs. Curtis, who were to be ques-
toned to ascertain If George S. Ward
father Of Walter Ward, had entered
into a conspiracy to defeat the ends
of justice.
Immediately afterward. however
Mrs. Curtis and Mr. Davis went to the
office of Mr.. Weeks, where Mrs. Curtis
was questioned by the District Attor-
ney and John E. Mack. who has beer
retained by Westchester county tc
prosecute Walter Ward
1t was learned that Mrs Curtis was
questioned for fifteen minutes She
told Mr.. Weeks and Mr. Mack Ia sub
stance that she was at the Ward hom,
in New Rochelle on the night Of thu
Peters killing. but that she did no.
hear Walter Ward say anything abou
it. and was not there when ne returned
, home. She also was reported to hav,
said that she knew nothing about an.
conspiracy entered into by George S
Ward. District Attorney Weeks ad
mitted that her conversation was O
no use to the State. Mrs. Walter War,
was not questioned.
The Justice signed twenty-three sub
poenas for witnesses. who will be takel
before him in the continued conspirac
proceedings on Wednesday, Thursda
and Friday of next week. The name
of the witnesses could not be learned.
