Neao Senior Four-Year-
Old Record

The worlds record for milk pro-
duction among senior 4year-old COWS
is now held by Helm Veeman Wood
crest, a purebred Holstein, who in the
herd of F. M. Helm, Fresno, Cal, com
pleted a yearly test period recently
with record of 36,217.7 pounds milk
land 1,003.S6 pounds butterfatE equal
to 1,254.8 pounds butter or with a
daily average of nearly 100 pounds
milk for 1866 consecutive days. This
record has been exceeded but once,
and then only by the worlds cham
pion for all ages and breeds, Segis
Pietertje Prospect, another Holstein,
owned by Carnation Milk Farms, Sc
pounds milk.
Helm Veeman Woodcrest freshened
October Z, 1928, with her second calf,
and was started Immediately on her
test. Her highest daily record of the
|year was made exactly one month aft
er freshening, when 1917 pounds milk
was produced. According to her own
er, she was always a good feeder and
was never entirely off feed, which ac-
counts largely for her continuous high
production from day to day through
out the test. She was fed mixed ra-
ton containing principally oats, bran
and barley with beet pulp, cottonseed
meal and leguminous hay.
AS a consequence of this record the
California COW displaces the former
milk champion in her class, Graham
holm Colantha Pauline Segis, who in
the herd Of Christopher Graham, at
Rochester, Mimi, completed yearly
test in December, 1922, with 34,291. 8
pounds milk. The Graham COW, how
ever, still is the worlds highest year.

OPENS BATTLE
TO KEEP SEAT
Denies He Deserted G. o. P.
and Makes Bitter Attack
On Iowa Committee

Des Moines, Iowa, Mar. 24.-De-
nying allegations that he deserted
the Republican party in last years
campaign and obtained election to
the United States Senate "by fraud
and deceit" Senator Smith w. Brook
hart today characterized the contest
of his election brought by the Re-
publican State Central Committee as
q dishonest and fraudulent conspir-
acy."
The denial of the committees
charge was made in the Senator'S
reply to the committees protest re-
Gently filed with the Senate. His
answer was to be filed with the
Secretary of the Senate simultane-
ously with it's publication here.
Senator Brookhart declares he "be-
came candidate for the Senate as
a Republican and upon the historic
principles Of Abraham Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt; that he an
nounced his platform and that the
voters of Iowa nominated and elect
ed him on definite stand for these
principles. In his campaign, the
Senator declared, he "urged the vot-
ers to identify themselves with the
Republican party and continues to
do So"
The State Central Committee
Senator Brookhart continues, "has no
power to remove a candidates name
from the ballot where the sovereign
voters placed it. 1t is insinuated
that the Senate will consider ficti-
tious and crooked charges for the
purpose Of removing a member on
whom they do not agree"
The committees resolution of pro-
test against the seating Of Senator
Brookhart, says the reply, twas with
out warrant of law"

OLSON KEPT
FROM STAND
AT HEARING
Shepherd May Know Before
Night Whether He Will BE
Released on Bail

Chicago, Mar. 24.-William D.
Shepherd, indicted on charges Of
killing with typhoid germs, his fos-
ter son, William Nelson McClintock,
whose $1,O00.00O fortune was willed
to him, may know before night whe.
ther he remains in Jail or is frec !
on bail while he awaits trial.
A decision by Judge Hopkins be-
fore whom the bail hearing opened
Saturday and was continued yester-
day, was in prospect today when the
hearing was resumed to hear con-
Guiding arguments of attorneys.
Witnesses, who appeared before
the grand jury, finished their testi-
mony yesterday. Charles c. Faiman,
head of science school and jointly
indicted with Shepherd, to whom he
said he gave typhoid germs for a
promised 100000, was briefly ques-
toned as was j. p. Marchand, a
former salesman of the school.
Attempts of the prosecution to
have Harry Olson, municipal court
chief justice and instigator of the
investigation Of McClintock's death,
tell what he knew of the case were
frustrated by Shepherds attorney
whose objection was upheld by
Judge Hopkins.
A. F. Reichmann, former CO.
guardian of McClintock, said shep-
herd had been paid 500 q month by
the Northern Trust Company, of
which he is counsel, out Of McClin-
tock's estate for maintenance of the
McClintock home in Kennilworth, a
suburb, during the last few years.
Counsel rSr Shepherd argued to-
day that the constitution requires
that bail must be granted in all
cases except capital offenses where
the guilt is evident. There was not
the slightest evidence, said William
s. Stewart, representing Shepherd,
that the death of BILLY" McClintock
was caused by any criminal agent.
Such criminal agency must be
proved, he asserted, independently
Of the confession of c. C. Faiman,
head of the National University of
Sciences, who admitted he had as
sisted Shepherd in inoculation of ty-
phoid germs and understood that
Shepherd was planning to get the
boys estate. Shepherd had promis.
ed him 100000, it was charged by
Faiman.

Work of Restoration and
Rebuilding Begins in
Stricken Area
EPIDEMIC DANGER OVER
Temporary Employment
Sought for Men Thrown Out
of Work by Cyclone

Chicago, March 24.-(By the A. P.)
Southern Illinois and Indiana and
other states in the path of last We'd
nesday's tornado hummed with indus
try today as the work of rebuilding
and restoration progressed.
Warm sunny weather prevailed in
most of the stricken territory as
carpenters piled hammer and saw on
hundreds of new dwellings and re-
lief workers continued to give aid
and comfort to thousands Of injured
and homeless.
Danger of epidemic was lessened
today as sanitary measures were ad-
vanced. The water supply in every
affected community was watched and
a supply of diphtheria antitoxin
was rushed to Carbondale. the relief
center.
The drive for relief funds continu-
ed throughout the country with to-
tails increasing hourly. Chicago ex-
pected to raise its quota of $500 .000
within forty-eight hours.
Another $5OO.OOO was provided
when the Illinois legislature passed
an emergency relief bill. From
Washington it was announced the
ordination of efforts to raise
funds had been effected by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States and the Red Cross.
With virtually all Of the dead bur
led, J. Sletten. secretary of the Ma
| tional Funeral Directors Association,
said that registration of graves had
been carried out with such care that
! the final resting place of each vic
tim may be definitely located. Pend
ing rebuilding of factories. relief
! workers were centering efforts on OBJ
tanning employment for working men
who were the greatest sufferers. Ap-
! pears were made to the state to start
-, road construction in the Illinois area
| to provide temporary employment.
With three additional deaths at
! Griffin, Ind. the number of fatalities
in five states was increased to S13,
(but this figure did not include a
score of persons believed to have
been incinerated at Murphysboro.
The Red Cross announced that 1888
persons were injured. Property loss
was estimated in the neighborho ood
of $2O,OOO,OOO.
l. At Murphysboro work was in pro-
, gress on hundreds of homes in the
| 162 city blocks destroyed by the
, storm. The city was gladdened by
the announcement that the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad shop, employing
! 400 men, and another of its largr
est industries, would be rebuilt. On
ly Is or 20 per cent Of the houses
destroyed carried tornado insurance,
although most Of them were protect
ed from fire. Whether insurance
would be paid on buildings set on
fire after the tornado passed was an
undecided question.
Rehabilitation work also moved
rapidly forward in Tennessee, Ken
tucky and Indiana. The death toll
in the latter state, where Griffin and
Owensville were razed and parts of
Princeton destroyed, was raised to
1l2 today.

COOLIDGE ASKS
NAVAL PARLEY
Wants Kellogg to Lay Ground
Work for Conference of
Arms Limitations

Washington, March 24.-President
Coolidge has suggested to Secretary
Kellogg that certain definite prelim-
mary steps be taken toward laying
the ground work for new naval
limitations conference.
The work, as the President sees
it, divides itself into two phases:
The first being determination of the
technical aspects of naval limita-
tions that remain to be concluded;
the second, the sounding out infor-
mally of the sentiment Of the other
powers as to the desirability of call
ing new conference.
Conversations thus far between the
President and the Secretary of State
have been limited to this general out
line Of the situation. Mr.. Kellogg
has had no opportunity to take up
with naval experts as he expects to
do, the practical possibilities of a
further limitation upon cruisers, air.
craft and other naval auxiliary craft.
So far as known, the Secretary has
started no new informal converse
tions in other capitols relative to
the conference plans.

GIRL SLAYER
C0LLAPSES AT
MURDER TRIAL
Dorothy Ellingson in Court
Again This Afternoon
Fully Composed

San Francisco. Mar. Dorothy
Ellingson, the sixteen year old stem
ographer, who shot and killed her
mother in the morning and danced
and attended party that night. to-
day came into court fully composed
after fainting at the noon recess OF
her murder trial yesterday.
Miss Ellingson yesterday saw six
jurors picked to pass on her fate.
Five men and woman were select
ed. The Is year old matricide had
hoped for IA jury OF elderly men and
the result yesterday was to her lik-
ing as the woman was passed only
temporarily.
The maximum sentence Miss Ell
lingson faces for her act is life i'm
prisonment, as the young defendant
has legal and moral protection
against hanging. A California law
forbids hanging persons under lS
years and California citizens have
always opposed the hanging OF wom-
en- of any age.
When the jury is completed, de-
fense counsel will advance the plea
that Miss Ellingson is suffering from
a mental condition bordering on in
sanity. The girl has confessed to
the killing. She told of quarrel
with her mother over new dresses
and undesirable acquaintances.

FACTS FOR HOME OWNERS
What You Pay to Live in Your Home

Mr.. Home Owner, have you ever figured out
what it costs you to live in your own home? Ii
not, then let's find out what high taxes do to you.
Suppose your home cost you $4,000, or even
$1,000 and is located in desirable residential dis
trict In the first place. you are entitled to figure
in interest on your investment or the cost OF the
house. Houses wear out in 80 to 40 years, and
must be torn down and rebuilt. If you want enough
money at that time to rebuild you must put aside
a certain each year. That is called "depreci-
alton" and should be computed in the cost whether
you put it into bank not. Next comes, 'main-
tenance" which are payments for repairing the
house, repairs to furnace, plumbing, ETC. Finally.
hands you and which called taxes and improve
ment assessments. The size of the tax bill de-
termnes whether it is profitable for you to live in
your own home.
Let's now bring all the figures together and dis
cover the result If you do not like figures,
make some of your own and see where you come
out. Our figures are based on the best experience
of real estate dealers and big property owners.
They ought to know.

In order to be very conservative and to avoid
any for disagreement, let us scale down our
monthly average to $500 and $500 respectively.
On that basis do you think it profitable to live in
your own home? If not, then the only place you
can decrease your house cost is through lower
taxes, and securing more efficiency and economy
in your government state, county, school and city.
The time to improve your city government is at the
