'qnnocent Victim Of Terrible
Mistake" He Says-Gets
Trial March 18.

Representative Harold Kuutson,
under $1,000 bond on a statutory
charge lodged against him, and LIE.
roy NJ. Hull. twenty!nine years oid'
by the police of Arlington county,
expects "vindication. complete and
speedy" to follow his trial March 1s.
The representative from Minnesota
made this announcement In state
ment issued immediately after he was
released from the Arlington county
jail yesterday afternoon.
His statement follows:
81 am the innocent victim of ter
rible mistake. The facts are these:
ION Sunday evening, left tne
Willard Hotel and met l.. M. Hull,
whom had known quite we'll during
1917, and whom | had seen but once
since he returned from France after
the armistice. l invited him to take
a drive, and we drove over to Vir-
ginia in my car.
shortly after passing Arlington,
Mr.. Hull found it necessary to leave
the car and l drove into the first side
road where / stopped and as Mr..
Hull stepped out of the car, / turned
out the lights In minute or so
of, the car. Suddenly / saw another
car approaching. l hurriedly got in
my own car and called Hull to do
likewise, which he did.
Accosted by Deputies.
''The oncoming car was brought
to stop beside my car. Two men,
whom 1 later learned to be deputy
sheriffs, jumped out. One, flashing a
light into my car. demanded to know
if did not know that 1t was against
the law to park alongside the road
l replied that ! did not, but that II
! was violating the law l would move
on.
"A this point, the officer sid we
were under arrest. One of the officers
got in my car and the other took Mr..
Hull in his car. On the way to the
county Jail. had my first intimation
of the heinous and revolving charge
that was to be placed against u.s.
Upon my arrival at the jail, my
request to call up my aged mother
and some Of my colleagues was de-
MED, and we were kept in a crowded
cell for fifteen hours. during every
moment of which l suffered the most
indeScribable mental agony, but
throughout the long night, though
half da3ed at the enormity of my
situation, l was sustained by a con-
SciouSnesS of my complete innocence.
II shall not rest until receive a
complete vindication, and if there Is
still such thing as justice in this
world, that vindication will be speed
lily forthcoming.

The manufacture OF acid phosphate
has come to play such an important

United States that the Department Of
Agriculture has just issued bulletin

signed both for manufacturers and for
progressive farmers. Phosphate rock.

Both the 'den" and the "open dump"
systems are in general use for making
acid phosphate, each having certain
advantages. In the dem" system,
after the rock and sulphuric acid are
thoroughly mixed the compound is
dropped into a closed, brick-lined
chamber or "den," where the chemical
reactions raise the temperature to

twenty-four hours Of SO, the product
being then ready for shipment. In
the 'open dump" system, as the name

plate. the bulletin says. depends on q
number of varying factors, such as the
size, location and equipment of the
plant and the cost of the suiphuric

$500 a ton. The product is sold cn
the basis of it's so-called available
phosphoric acid content, and is worth
at the factory from 40 to Sc cents 9

phoric acid content runs from IA to
2l per cent. Of the marketed product.

See That, SKINNED MIX Fed TO AMI
mals is Pasteurized or Boiled


The fact that the foot-dndsmouth
disease may be communicated to
cattle, sheep. other ruminants and
swine, through the milk of infected
cows. makes 1t especially important.
at this time for cattle raisers to make
certain that the SKINNED milk they.
obtain from creameries has been pas.
teurized. Even If there is no foot-ands
mouth disease In the farmers neighs
borhood, 1t nevertheless is q great safe
guard for him to see that the creamery
SKINNED milk which he feeds to his
animals has been pasteurized. as tuber-
culosis can be communicated through
raw skinned milk. So serious Ia the
communication of tuberculosis through
milk to swine that the meat packers
discriminate against the hogs In Ger.
tain dairying districts.
The department has long advocated
this course. and the specialists hope
that the danger of foot-and-mouth
disease may lead those who have not
been careful In this matter In the past
to adopt this practice and continue 1t
after the present epidemic has been
stamped out.
Where a creamery does not pas
teurize the milk, or where the farmer
obtains SKINNED milk from other
farms for feeding TO his hogs. he can
make certain that he does not carry
the foot-and-mouth germs or spread
tuberculosis by bringing the skinned
milk to the boiling point before bring.
