SAWYER CHARGE ! WITH TELLING LIE
Colonel Forbes Is Vehement in Testimony Before The
 Veterans Committee

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.--Charles R. Forbes passed the lie direct today to two of his accusers-Brig. Gen Charles E. Sawyer and Elias H. Nor timer, and then charged counsel for the Senate committee Investigating the veterans bureau with suppress ing material facts which show his in nocence.
 Opening the ross-examination of Forbes, General O'Ryan wanted to know who was in the conspiracy" to destroy him, which the former direc- tor had charged on yesterday was on foot.
 "Mortimer and Williams (J. M. Will Hams a Philadelphia dairyman, who previously has testifiedD were two of the conspirators, and there were others" responded Forbes.
 General O'Ryan then wanted to know about Forbes charges of per jury and supornation of perjury.
 Taking a paper from his pocket, Forbes read:
 T mean by perjury the testimony of Mir. Mortimer MT. Williams, and others. By sdbornation of perjury. I mean the methods which were used to induce Mr Williams to testify falsely. By attempted subornatton of perjury, mean attempts which have come to my Knowledge to ln- duce other persons to testify falsely.
 By suppression of material facts and documents, I mean the suppres sion of important documents which show my innocence which have been in possession of counsel for the com mIttee and not produced by them until forced to do so by my counsel, or by certain witnesses and the sum- moning of certain witnesses by coun- sel for the committee, and then their dismissal after the counsel learned their testimony would be favorable to ne.
 My counsel will call some wit nesses on these matters, and if the committee desires further testimony concerning them my counsel will fur nlsh the names of other witnesses to this committee"
 It was during his, cross-examina- tion that Forbes said Dr. Sawyer had lied" on the witness stand. General O'Ryan asked if Forbes be- lieved that the ill-feeling which had existed and apparently still existed between Forbes and Dr. Sawyer was motive for Dr. Sawyer's testimony.
 No, indeed said Forbes,
 Then you believe he was just mistaken" asked General O'Ryan.
 ''Mistaken! exclaimed Forbes. "No, he's not mistaken. He just lied"
 Then your idea is that he com mitted perjury while hereT'

STATES WAGE WAR ON BOIL WEEVIL
Department Of Agriculture Is Watching Different
 Methods

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.r-ApDroxi-
 m ately 10 per cent of the cotton acreage was treated this year with calcium arsenate in combating the boil weevil and other insects, re- ports to the department of agriculture indicate. In more than one-third of the cotton belt the poisoning cam paign was carried on by some of the cotton planters, it was found
 In South Carolina and Georgia, where the boil weevil has been most destructive in recent years, between 26 and 2S per cent of the cotton area was treated. In Florida IS per cent and in Arkansas IA per cent was treated. The cotton rest was particularly destructive in Florida and Arkansas this year, but in Arkan- sas much of the arsenate was used primarily to combat caterpillars that were defoliating the plants.
 The smallest relative use of the poison was In states that have long been infested or that, because of cli- matic conditions are relatively less subject to boil weevil damage. In Texas only 2.5 per cent of the acre age was poisoned and In Oklahoma only one-haf on 1 per cent; Missis- sippi poisoned per cent, Alabama T PSA C6HL anu 44OuISLdhd O PGI GGit' North Carolina, which has suffered relatively little from the weevil, be- cause of only recent invasion, pois- oned per cent of the acreage, and Tennessee 10 per cent,
 The four methods of using calcium arsenate were dusting, spraying, daubing a mixture of poison and mo- lasses on the bolls by hand and daubing the bolls in the first and second applications, followed by dusting. A field survey is being con- ducted by the department of agricul- ture to determine the various methods and the effectiveness of each.

MUST BE FREAK OR FOSSIL
Discovery in the Nevada Mountains
Has Split the Worlds Scien-
lists into Two Camps.

A stone form exactly resembling the
FEATHER sole of a shoe, was found in
the Nevada mountains. Biologists,
psychologists and other scientific men
were astOunded with the specimens
similarity to a shoe, but none would
accept it as anything but a freak Of
nature This strange fossil or freak,
was found imbedded in mass Of Tri-
assic rock, which is considered by SCI
entists TO be from 1000o0000 to &c.,
100000 years old. BY those who con-
slider it a freak rather than fos ~
1t has been pronounced one of L.
most remarkable natural limitations of
an artificial object ever discovered by
man.
Acknowledgements of the fossil reveal
very clearly the holes punched in the
sole for stitching, and even the twist

shown. It's warp is brought out in IN
ristakSble prominence. In every re-
spect it duplicates the exact process
which takes place in wornout shoe
These facts would seem to prove be-
yond a reasonable doubt that 1t is the
fossil of a real shoe, and that it was
done by the hand Of man. The up
shot of the matter leads to one Of
these two scientific facts: Either man
has lived on the earth three or four
times as long as has hitherto been sup
posed, or biologists are badly mistaken

Ancient Egyptians Said to Have Been

The ancient Egyptians were great

priests knew how to calculate solar

was founded on astronomy. They
had theory of belief In a mysterious
relation between the spirits of the
stars and human souls and they

was regulated by the motion of the
heavenly bodies. From the conjunc-

they prophesied what would We the

he would live and what manner Of
death he would die. Of these astrol-

greatest accuracy what is about TO
