was found near New Rochelle, N. Y.

Peters as the latter showed him dis

He said he wrote letter to Mrs. Wal

Phillips is a resident of Reading,
Pa, where he is employed in the
afternoons as an electrician. He
comes to Philadelphia every morning
to attend the Philadelphia school Of
wireless. He saw service in France,
where he was gassed.
1t was while on his way to station
on May Is he said he fell in with
Peters, who accosted him because he
wore a service button. Phillips said
the supposed Peters walked with him
to the station and they sat in the
waiting room. Peters appeared to be
nervous. Phillips said:
Told of Trouble.
THE young man said he was IN
trouble with married man and girl.
This man, he said, had a pretty wife
and was trying to win from him his
girl. He showed me gun he car
ried in his inside pocket. 1t was a
Smith and Wesson. Then he said a
man was in the city looking for him.
Fondling the revolver he said it
would help him to get the man who
was trying to get him. Later he
asked me where he could get train
for Elizabeth, n. j. I told him to go
to the information window, which he
did. When he returned he said moth
ing more about the train and we bid
each other boodbye."
Phillips then related he saw the
man the next morning at the en-
trance to the Bellevue Stratford ho-
tel. He wore a brown suit and a gray
cap. Peters spoke to him, he added.

said Il will get him unless he gets

, the next senator from that state"
The principle of defeating the
enemy by division of his forces is
much harder to apply in the gen
eral election than in the primary
election because it requires con-
siderable popular demand to get a
third party candidate in the field.
Yet it has been accomplished many
times by the clever political tacti-
tian, who has been able to stir up
a labor" candidate, or a farmer
candidate, or a prohibition" can
! didate, or some other candidate ap-
pealing to class, or religious, or
racial prejudice, not with the ex-
%pectation of electing such candi-
dates, but for the purpose of tax
ing their votes away from some
other candidate.
1t may be that Senator Town
send will be defeated in Michigan
next November as this Washington
correspondent predicts, but 1t
would seem to us almost a politi-
cal miracle if such should be the
case. The republican party has an
enormous preponderance of votes
in Michigan. Henry Ford came
within five thousand votes OF be-
ing elected United States senator
while running on the democratic
ticket in Michigan against New
berry but he received many thou
sands of republican votes. If Gov
ernor Ferris could get all the anti
| Newberry republican votes in the
states doubtless he could defeat
the republican candidate. The nor
NAL democratic vote in Michigan
is rather light, but Governor Ferris
Is popular with all classes in Mich
igan. Perhaps he will turn the
trick this year when dissatisfaction
with the Harding administration
runs high. Such dissatisfaction is
said to be strong in Michigan, not
only because of opposition to New
berry but because President Hard
ing took pains to reward the prin-
cipal distributors of Newberry
Doodle in that state with federal Of
fices at the request of Newberry.

Revision Will Enable C0ntinu-
ance of Market in Western
States.

Helena, Sept. 27.-(By The Assoct-
ated Press.)-By q Redistribution OF
foreign rates on cereals, which is ex-
pected to d~ifferentiate between cooked
and %uncooked, the railroads are ex-
pected to restore to Montana mills
rates which will enable them TO CON
tinue in their present market IN Idaho
Washington and Oregon.
A decision of the interstate com
merce commission last June, which
became effective Monday, took break
fast foods out of the classification with
other grain products in mixed carloads.
The order had the effect of removing
the shipping under transit privilege
of breakfast foods, except at the car
load cereal rates.
The decision, made at the request
of railroads in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, was extended to include Mon
tana shipping. Montana manufactur-
ers, with a capacity of 5000 barrels OF
uncooked cereals yearly, protested to
the Montana railroad commission that
under the new ruling they would be
unable to compete with the mills on
the Pacific coast as the coast millers
would ship Montana grain west at low
rates, manufacture it and be able to
distribute it in short hauls.
Advices to the Montana railroad
commission from the railroads was that
the roads will voluntarily revise their
schedules, putting uncoOked breakfast
foods on a parity with other uncooked
grain products, such as flour.

EXPECT 100000
BUSHEL GRAIN CROP
cavalier PROJECT
Harvesting Half Completed;
Record Wheat Yield Makes
So Bushels.
Special to The Tribune.

Waller, Sept. 27.-The Waller project
has again come to the front with a
bumper crop, according to reports OF
exceptionally high average yields near
Waller. With the threshing only about
one-half done, the prophecy of a 1900
000-bushel crop on the project and its
fulfillment. At present 81 threshing
machines are operating long hours
under perfect weather conditions and,
unless adverse weather calls a halt,
October 10 will see most of the project
grain threshed and under cover.
On the Birch Greek unit of the
Blackfoot Indian irrigation system
good Yields are reported on large acre
ages and with much of that grain pour
ing into Waller the elevators are being
taxed TO their utmost to handle the
crop. Some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in obtaining cars, and it
seems probable that some of the ele-
vators will have to cease operations
until better car service is obtained.
Peter DeClerck. of the Belgian set
Element near Williams, at present
holds the record with a wheat yield Of
SO bushels per acre. Z. G. Schue,
one mile north of Waller, averaged Al
bushels of wheat per acre on Is acres.
H.. Nermullen, two miles west of Va
her, averaged Al DuSnelS OF wheat per
acre on 100 acres. f.. r. Walston
near Conrad had a 44-bushel wheat
average over 40 acres. Chris Johnson
near Waller averaged 80 bushels per
acre of winter wheat on 100 acres.
Wheat on the Waller project this
year is of excellent quality and high
premiums are being paid for it by
Minneapolis millers. Jack Golf, who
threshed $500 bushels from 500 acres
two miles east of Waller, received a
premium of 80 cents over the market
price and there are many other cases
of premiums between 20 and 80 cents
a bushel being paid.
Fall irrigation, which was tried ex-
tensively on the Waller project last
fall for the first time. has unquestion-
ably proved its worth. and it is ex-
pected that it will become general
farming practice. The record yields
this year are practically all on land
which was fall irrigated last fall.
