VOL. XIX. WOOD IS SCORED General Brooke Testifies Before Senate Committee. BAD BREACH CHARGED Wood Accused of Ignoring Orders of His Superior—May Have to Return from Manila to Major General John R. Brooke, retired, formerly governor general of Cuba, gave testimony before the senate committee on military affairs Monday which charged insubordination against General Leonard Wood. General Brooke was before the committee more than two hours and occupied the entire time in telling of Woods conduct at Santiago. The witness offered in support of his statements many documents taken from records at the war department and several papers from his personal collection. At the close of his testimony, a member of the committee said it is probable General Wood will have to return from the Philippines and testify. One of the charges made by General Brooke is that General Wood violated the order which required him in making improvements in Santiago to submit estimates to the governor general. As evidence of this violation General Brooke called attention to the building of barracks at Santiago, near the Morro without General Wood's first having given notice to the department at Havana. General Brooke said also that General Wood continually sent communications to the war department over the head of his commanding officer. The witness assured the committee that he cared nothing for the ignoring of his authority, but said that the proceeding had been detrimental to military discipline. General Brooke called to the attention of the committee in support of an allegation that General Wood had neglected to work in harmony with the military government, the matter of General Wood's attitude toward the newspapers at Santiago, which repeatedly made attacks on General Brooke's administration. General Brooke read a number of these attacks and also his recommendation to the war department that the papers be suppressed unless they desisted. Wanted Freedom of Speech. One of the extracts from The Independence, published at Santiago, which was read was a bitter denunciation of General Brooke, under the caption of "God-Save Cuba." The article was based on General Brook's order for the centralization of affairs of the island by which receipts from all custom houses were ordered sent to Havana. The article, among other things, sald that if carried into effect, the order soon would prohibit the people of Santiago from breathing without permission from General Brooke; that it was a matter of life and death to the province of Santiago to get the order rescinded. General Brooke read a letter which he had sent to the adjutant general of the war department asking that General Wood be instructed to prohibit the publication of such articles during the period of military government. He also read General Wood's reply to the adjutant general, which, the witness said, had been sent over the head of his superior officer, saying that freedom of speech, untrammeled criticism of the military government and absolute independence in all matters, were a necessary part of the education of the Cubans to fit them to conduct a liberal government LAREDO OPEN TO WORLD. Governor of Texas Raises the Yellow Fever Quarantine. Governor Lanham of Texas, issued a proclamation Monday raising the yellow fever quarantine, which has been in force against Laredo since September 26. During the prevalence of the epidemic there have been .025 cases, 99 of which resulted fatally. MAFIA AGAIN SHOWS UP. Italian Merchant Lured to Death by Band in New Orleans. Gulseppe Impozzato, a prominent Italian macaroni manufacturer, was murdered in New Orleans Sunday night. The affair bore all the earmarks of the Mafia, he having been lured to an out-of-the-way neighborhood on an apparently friendly mission. During the excitement over the assassination of Chief of Police Hennessy, some years ago, he was held as a suspect, but was released before the trial and lynching. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1903: GOOD FOR SEABOARD. Atlantic and Birmingham May Soon Become Part and Parcel of Great System—New Owners Active. There is every reason to believe that the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad, which has been acquired by eastern interests, represented in this section by H. M. Atkinson, will become a part of the Seaboard Air Line, and that it will be used as a connecting link between the lines of that system in south Georgia and Florida, and those in the northern section of the state. It will also give the Seaboard a direct line from Birmingham to the seacoast by means or the extension from Montezuma to Birmingham along the route already mapped out. The announcement in The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday that the eastern interests represented by Mr. Atkinson had acquired the Atlantic and Birmingham, running from Waycross to Montezuma, and would consolidate it with the Tifton, Tnomasville and Gulf and the Tifton and Northeastern, caused no little comment in railroad circles. It promises to prove one of the most important railroad movements that has taken place in Georgia in some years. Prominent among the eastern capitalists who are represented in this section by Mr. Atkinson is T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Boston, Mass. Mr. Coolidge has just acquired an extensive interest in the Seaboard Air Line, and will, with Thomas F. Ryan, become one of the important factors in shaping the future of that property. The purchase by these same interests of the' Atlantic and Birmingham, and its consolidation with the other roads named, undoubtedly means an important step in the development of the Seaboard system in this section. The Seaboard system at present is in the shape of a big "Y," with no connecting link between the two prongs, one of which extends into south Georgia and Florida, and the other into Atlanta. By the construction of the Atlantic and Birmingham to Atlanta from Montezuma, its present terminus, the necessary connection between the main system will be established, and if the originally contemplated extension of this line to Birmingham is made, the Seaboard will have acquired two lines to the west, the other two being extensions of the East and West railroad, which is just now in process of completion between Birmingham and Atlanta. $ ^{2} $ Messrs. Coolidge, Blair and their associates will probably come through this section at an early date, with a view to arranging their new plans. The Seaboard is undergoing some radical changes, as has been announced in the press for the past few weeks, and new blood has been injected into the veins of the road. Those who have been watching the situation will not be surprised to learn of any new developments within the next few weeks. T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., of Boston, and has associates have obtained a large share of the stock of the road, and they mean to make it one of the first systems of the United States. All the interests represented in the new deal appreciate the work of John Skelton Williams, the president of the Seaboard, and they speak in the very highest terms of his labors for the upbuilding of the south. The fact that the Seaboard will not be combined with any other southern system can be accepted absolutely. This is obtained from the highest sources. All future developments will be watched with the greatest interest by the people of this section. TROUBLE OVER TRADING STAMPS Columbus Merchant Appeals to Court and Secures Injunction. A temporary Injunction was granted by Judge Butt, at Columbus, Ga., restraining the Atlanta Trading Stamp Company from supplying their stamps to other dry goods merchants than the Schuessler Company in the city. The Schuessler Company are handling the stamps, and the stamp people made a deal with the Bee Hive. Schuessler claims they violated a contract they had with him. The hearing will be had December 16. WARSHIPS GUARD PORTS. Colombian Troops Will Not Be Allowed to Menace Panama. Embarking of Colombian troops from Buena Ventura or any other Colombian port of the Isthmus of Panama will not be permitted by the Washington government and American warships will be ordered to any port upon receipt of an intimation that Colombian troops will attempt to sail for the Isthmus. The Washington government holds that this policy is in the interest of the general good. CARTER NOW FREE Ex-Captain of Engineers Re leased from Prison. SERVED FIVE-YEAR TERM Met at Gates by Uncle and Took Train for Chicago—May Now Begin Fight for Seized Property. A few minutes before 4 o'clock last Saturday morning Oberlin M. Carter, ex-captain of engineers, walked out of the portals of the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, a free man. At the gate he was met by Us uncle, L. D. Carter, and immediately driven in a hack to the union depot, and boarded a train for Chicago. This last movement was a ruse to throw, the newspaper men, whom he wished above all things to avoid, off the track. Carter was sentenced to five years' imprisonment by a courtmartial for alleged rauds in connection with the Savannah, Ga., harbor improvements. With Carter's release there will begin, doubtless, what will be a long legal fight for the possession of cash and securities amounting to more than half a million, the money he was convicted of having obtained by conspiracy with Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, from the government which gave him his education and a position of honor and competence during his life or good behavior. The actual amount of Carter's share in these ill-gotten gains has been found to be some $722,000, of which he spent $150,000 in his defense before the courtmartial that convicted him. The government is in possession by seizure of about $500,000, located and attached by District Attorney Marion Erwin, of the southern district of Georgia, now also assistant to the attorney general for the purposes of this litigation, while some $70,000 still remains hidden, and with which Carter will, no doubt, make his fight for the half million, if he can lay his hands on it without discovery by the United States officials. The burden of proof is on the government, it is true, to show that the property seized is that which Carter acquired as the proceeds of his conspiracy to defraud the government; but Mr. Erwin says he has followed the cash and securities so seized step by step, and is able to present conclusive proof that they represent money which came direct from the United States treasury, or, to be more accurate, from the United States sub-treasury in New York city, since that is where Carter's checks were payable. MANY CRIMES CONFESSED. Boy Bandit Convicts Self that Mother May Obtain Rewards. Peter Neldermeler, one of the members of the quartette of young bandits, in prison at Chicago, in another confession, made Sunday, added several more crimes to the long list already charged against him and his companions. With parental love uppermost in his mind, Neldermeler offered to tell of a score of train hold-ups, burglaries and other crimes, that he has committed, if the rewards offered will only be given to his mother. He was given this assurance. A few of the additional crimes, he claims to have participated in are as follows: Robbery of the Illinois Central limited express at Paducah, Ky., in which Barnes, one of the robbers, cut his throat while surrounded in a swamp. The others escaped. Hold-up of a stage coach a mile from Butler, Nevada, two years ago, and robbery of the malls. No one was shot, and the robbers escaped without recognition. Hold-up and robbery of Chicago and Northwestern passenger train near Boone, Iowa, six months ago. Hold up and attempted robbery of Baltimore and Ohio train at Edgemoor, Ind., four years ago. Minor hold-ups and robberies in and out of Chicago were mentioned by Neidermeier. FATALITIES ON THE GRIDIRON. Seventeen Deaths and Scores of Players Injured During Past Season. The old question as to whether football is worth the while is being seriously discussed all over the country again just as another football season has come to an end. During the past season seventeen persons have been killed and over sixy-three others more or less badly injured. And even this large number of injured does not cover the ground, for many injuries neyer find their way into the newspapers. Secretary of Agriculture Forwards Annual Statement of His Department to President. The seventh annual report of the present secretary of agriculture has been submitted to the president. It opens with a discussion or the educational work of the department. Although the department has availed itself to the fullest extent of graduates of the agricultural colleges, it has been necessary, in view of the rapid development of the work, to secure competent men wherever they could be found. In the training of specialists for its various lines of work, the department has become practically a post-graduate institute. Mr. Wilson, in illustration of this fact, reports the admission to the department since 1897 of, 496 students; 249 of these are still in the department, not less than 132 having passed into the classified service. - Although the consumption of cotton in this country is greater than that of any other country in the world, yet, in addition to supplying the nome market, the south exported last year over 3,500,000,000 pounds of cotton, worth $317,000,000. Of grain and grain products, the export exceeded in value $221,000,000, and in the supply of animals, meats, and meat products, the value of exportation was $211,000,000. Discussing the balance of trade, the secretary shows that the favorable balance to the credit of this country is due entirely to the farmers. The balance of trade, in favor of farm products during the last fourteen years, no year excepted, aggregated $4,806,000,000. In products, other than those of the farm, during the same period, the balance of trade was adverse to this country to the extent of $856,000,000. Our farmers not only canceled this immense obligation, but placed $3,940,000,000 to the credit of the nation when the books of international exchange were balanced. He concludes that "It is the farmers who have paid the foreign bondholders." Reviewing the magnitude of agricultural production, after giving the figures of the most important crops, Mr. Wilson states that the value of all farm products, not fed to live stock for 1903, considerably exceeded their value in the census year, when it was given at $3,742,000,000. According to the department's inventory of farm animals for January 1, 1903, the value of horses was over $1,000,000,000; mules, nearly $200,000. The value of cattle of all kinds considerably exceeded $1,300,000,000 of sheep $168,000,000, and of hogs. $365,000,000. THIRTY MINUTES OF TALK. House Holds Short Session and Ad Journs Until Friday. The house, after being in session for a little more than an hour, Tuesday adjourned until Friday. The time was almost wholly consumed in discussion, which was largely a tariff debate. When Mr. Payne had offered the motion to adjourn over, Mr. Williams, the minority leader, suggested that they would like about thirty minutes on a side for debate, whereupon Mr. Payne asked the consent of the house. The speaker announcing the request said: "The gentleman from New York, at the suggestion of the gentleman from Mississippi, asks unanimous consent that there be thirty minutes' talk on a side." In terming it a "talk" instead of debate the speaker evoked laughter from both sides of the house. GIRL IN BRAZEN ROLE. Detective Joseph Driscoll, who was shot in the fight with the boy bandits in Indiana, died in Chicago Tuesday. The sweetheart of one of the bandits has been on exhibition in a dime museum for several days. Mayor Harrison wrote to the proprietor and told him that in the interest of decent citizenship the exhibition should cease all the more so as the death of Detective Driscoll added to the offense. ELKS DRAW COLOR LINE. Members of Order in Mississippi Object to Colored Organization. Protests are being received in Jackson, Miss., from Elks all over the state against the issuance of a charter to the "Elks of America, Asia and Africa," which is a colored organization. Every Elk lodge in the state is making a vigorous kick against having a colored organization of the same name. It is probable that an injunction will be gotten out restraining the secretary from placing the charter on the records. Cream of News. Brief Summary of Most Important Events of Each Day. The only marble building in the world devoted exclusively to Y. M. C. A. work was opened Wednesday in Columbus, Ga. It is the gift of the Pexbody brothers, of New York. Dr. J. V. Jay, the Anneville, N. C., physician, who murdered his three children, was convicted Tuesday and sentenced to serve thirty years in the penitentiary. A special session of the Louisiana legislature will be held to provide means to fight the boll weevil pest. The $125,000 desired as an endowment for Furman university of Greenville, S. C., has been secured and a bright future is predicted for the institution. Papers have been served upon Professor Börden P. Bowne, of Boston university, calling him to trial before the ecclesiastical board of the Methodist Episcopal church, to answer to the general charge of heresy. Judge Kohlsaat, in the United States district court, at Chicago, appointed Fred M. Blount and Albert D. Currier receivers in bankruptcy for the property of John Alexander Dowle at Zion City. It is probable that the United States will suggest that the question as to when and how Russia shall evacuate Manchuria be referred to The Hague tribunal. The house after being in session for a little more than an hour Tuesday, adjourned until Friday. The time was chiefly consumed in a tariff debate. The sweetheart of one of the Chicago bandits is exhibiting herself at a dime museum. Mayor Harrison has protested against the exhibition. Continuing his revelations at Grand Rapids, ex-City Attorney Salsbury testified that corruption money was liberally used on aldermen. —The new canal treaty reached Panama Tuesday. —Mrs. Onie Tanner, of Hall county, Ga., charged with poisoning her husband, Wylie F. Tanner, was found not guilty of the charge. —After an absence of 54 years, Jacob Wesley Cloy, father of Judge John R. Cloy, of Augusta, Ga., has returned to his former home. —Mgr. E. D. J. Quigley, who accompanied Bishop Lynch to Rome on his mission in the interest of the confederacy, died in Charleston, S. C., a few days ago. —Governor Jelks, of Alabama, has offered $400 for the arrest and delivery of the men who lynched Tom Patton in Choctaw county. The senate committee on military affairs heard Major James E. Runcie, of Havana, probably the most important witness that will be offered by the opponents of General Leonard Wood in their attempt to prevent his confirmation to be major general. Runcie's evidence was damaging to Wood. Oberlin M. Carter, former captain in the United States army, who was convicted of complicity in the Savannah harbor frauds, was released from Fort Leavénworth prison Saturday morning. While President Roosevelt was in New York attending a funeral, a harmless crank eluded five hundred policemen and presented him a letter in regard to a panacea. —Harvey Vandine and Peter Niedemeler, accused of sensational murders and robberies at street car barns in Chicago, were trapped in a dug out near Miller Station, Ind. —Near Jackson, Miss., four negroes, children of William Ellis, were burned to death, having been locked in a cabin while their parents went to a frolic. —Grover Cleveland has written a letter to The Brooklyn Eagle, in which he states that he will not again be a candidate for the presidency. —Preaching the annual sermon before the South Georgia conference at Sandersville Sunday Bishop J.S. Key took a strong stand against mob law. -December 22 has been set by Judge Littlejohn as the day for hearing the suits against the stockholders of the old Bank of Americus, Ga. -Owing to the disappearance of Manager J. W. Bowen, the English Talloring, and Weaving Company, of Chattanooga, has been closed and persons who were in on the scheme cannot get their clothes or their money. --- Representative from Bogota Makes His Mission Known—Not a Cent Will Be Asked for Concessions for Waterway. That the republic of Colombia grant to the United States all the concessions provided for in the Hay-Herran treaty, but absolutely free of cost, is the proposition which General Reyes, envoy of Colombia to the United States on special mission, brings for the consideration of the administration. General Reyes arrived at Washington shortly after 9 o'clock Saturday morning. He was met at the station by a son of Dr. Herran. General Reyes talked with a representative of the Associated Press about his mission. He said: "You will readily admit the propriety of my refraining from discussing my mission, which is of a confidential character, but of the offers which Colombia is ready to make, I desire to say that my energies and those of my fellows will be devoted to the granting of the canal concessions to the United States without the payment of a cent. Even at this Colombia will be the galner." "Are you authorized by President Marroquin to maek this offer to the Washington government?" General Reyes was asked. "That would be divulging my instructions before I have executed them. I cannot say more about this now," he replied. "You can further say," continued the general, "that all Colombia is afire with the zeal for the building of the canal by the United States and that the unfortunate political troubles which were the sole cause of the treaty's death before the Colombian congress have entirely disappeared. We want the canal and I have come to Washington to see what the people of the United States are prepared to accept. I come with instructions from the president of Colombia direct. My mission in no way will interfere with the prerogative of Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge for whom both my government and myself personally have the greatest respect. I shall be in daily conference with him." "What is the feeling in Colombia about the Panama revolution" "Feeling is running high, and there is indignation over the events on the isthmus. We can and will put down the rebellion if not interfered with from the outside. So tense is the feeling and so national the spirit of determination to bring the isthmus back into the republic that President Marroquin will have no trouble in raising an army twice the size necessary to put down the disturbance. Such an army can march overland to the isthmus, the opinion of ill-advised persons to the contrary notwithstanding." "What can the United States do, now that a treaty has been signed by Secretary Hay and M. Bunau-Varilla?" "That treaty has not been ratified. The Colombian government does not ask the United States to aid it in putting down the revolution on the 'latinus. All we ask is to be allowed to conduct our own affairs free from outside interference. The Colombian government can put down the rebellion without violating a letter of the treaty of 1846. I refer to the treaty that we always have respected and adhered to, and not to the treaty as interpreted in these later days. If the United States maintains a neutral position, the revolution will be put down." When his attention was called to the report from Panamans and other sources that he had come to Washington to conduct a lobby to defeat the ratification of the treaty, he said very emphatically: "I authorize the Associated Press to say for me at the outset of my visit that my movements here shall be strictly in accordance with the powers with which I am clothed. SENSATION STIRS GRAND RAPIDS ExCity Attorney Implicates Host of Citizens in Crooked Dealing. The confession of ex-City Attorney Lant K. Salsbury, in regard to the notorious water scandal in Grand Rapids, Mich., was told Monday for the first time in court at the preliminary examination of State Senator David Burns, and it has created a tremendous sensation on account of the number of prominent persons. It implicates, in addition to the seventeen officials and former officials who were arrested on bribery charges some ten days ago. 4 Kee ip ‘The SavannabsTri_ b | ee ng ae Posiizexo Every SiTcrpay, ‘BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W.

In view of this facha number of important changes are anticipated by the ministers of the Conference. ‘The Conference wil! be held in Old St. Philips church, now the Monumental, which was completely wrecked by the storm of 1896, and left in ruins while the congregation parchiased the splendid property ‘or.

B. Morse, died on Monday evening last and was buried on Wednesday afternoon. The funeral service took place at Second Baptist church. Rev. J. J. Durham and Rev. R. H. Thomas conducted the service, and each paid glowing tribute to her memory. Mrs. Morse was born in McIntosh County, Ga., in 1830. She was the youngest of three sisters, the eldest being Mrs Margaret Gordon who died in this city three years ago at the ripe age of 74 years. Early in 1862 Mr. and Mrs. Morse and their only son Prof. Morse escaped from Darien and reached the Yankee gun-boats at Doboy and St. Simons Islands and from there with others who left the south Georgia coast, were removed to Beaufort, S. C., completely under federal control. Her husband, Samuel G. Morse, enlisted in the U. S. Army at Beaufort, S. C., on January 1st, 1863, in the first colored regiment organized in this part of the Country, which was known as the First South Carolina Volunteers, later 33rd U. S. C. T. During the campaigns around Charleston and Fort Wagner she and her son accompanied the regiment, and she passed as laundress. After the surrender in 1864 she returned in February 1865 to the city where she had lived prior to the time of the great yellow fever in 1854 and too as it was the former home of her husband. She has lived here ever since. Mrs. Morse has been for fifty years a member of the Second Baptist Church, having been baptized in the river at the foot of the gas house by Rev. John Cox. She has never been disciplined nor reprimanded by her church. She was a lady of great kindness of heart, given to much charity; exceedingly concise and punctual; very out spoken and greatly opposed to all kinds of impurity, whether in man or woman. And she strove to impress these principles upon her son. She was a woman of exceedingly strong mind and persuasive influence and how well she has accomplished this work the community knows. For a number of years she has spent her summers in the North and upon her last return met her sister, Mrs. Gordon, dying. This so affected her that very soon afterwards she received a stroke of paralysis, she lingered three years afterwards in bad health until on Nov. 24, the 28th anniversary of her husband's death, she received the second stroke. She lingered a few days and on Monday last at 8:15 p.m. she crossed the River, loved and respected by many of those whose privilege it was to know her. She truly sleeps well. Prof. Morse has the sympathy of the entire community in his bereavement. Married in Providence. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Storms, 72 Winter street, Providence, R. I., Mr. Samuel S. Walker and Miss Louise Rosetta Wilson were united in wedlock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Johnson, pastor of Wadsworth, A. M. E. church. The bride entered the parlor on the arm of Mr Geo. H. Storms. Mrs. Mamie Trupe who was mafter of honor led the bridal party, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Wilson, who acted as best man. Mrs. Geo. H. Storms gave the bride away. The bride was appropriately gowned in a cream mor-de-chien over cream silk, with a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums and bridal roses. Mrs. Mamie Trupe was handsomely gowned in white organdie over pale blue silk, trimmed with white Mexican lace and pale blue ribbon. She also carried a large bouquet of chrysanthemums and pink rosebuds. Mrs. G. H. Storm was becominly gowned in cream albatrass trimmed with steel passementry and white lace. After the ceremony the guests were escorted to the dining room which presented a flower garden in itself, where a splendid collation was served. Covers were laid for twelve The table was decorated with red carnations, maiden hair ferns and chrysanthemums. Among those present were, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lee, Rev. and Mrs. L. C. Perry, Mr. Geo. Wilson, of New Haven, Conn; Mr. Alonza Mercer, of Boston, Mr. Edward Gray, formerly of this city; Mrs Mamie Trupe of New York city; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Storms, and Mr. and Mrs. E. Philips Oliver, formerly of Augusta, Ga. The happy couple is well known in this city, where they have many friends who extend them hearty cangratula- The meeting of the Colored American Friendly Society on Thursday night last was a great one.

Conditions, Among the most Interesting propos!- ‘tions for the increasing of returns to corn raisers 1s one that is being car- fled on in a successful and practical ‘method by the Funk Brothers, of Bloomington, 1, | These gentlemen are breeding corn upon their large tract of land, con- aisting of 2,500 acres in b2e’ body near that eity. The idea which they aro putting Into effect a to increase the returns from their corn lands both by Increasing the yield and in- creasing the feeding value of thelr corn. .They are taking up this mat- ter of breeding corn, which wae in- augurated at the Ulinois experiment station, and demonstrated to be both practical and profitable by Profs. C. G, Hopkins and A. R. Shiamel. By this system of breeding, which {fs in effect. sced selection, they are select ing those stralns of corn which show the groatest yield, and have already produced a strain of corn that out- yields the ordinary type to a consid- erable extent. 3 The varieties started with were those recognized by the Illinois Seed Corn Breeders’ Association, and which have been bred “for many years by old and successful corn breeders. For example: The Reld’s yellow dent has been bred for almost fifty years by the Reid family, formerly of Delevan, Il., and perhaps has its char- acteristics fixed to a greater degree than any of the other varieties. Also the Leaming fs another variety which was originated in 1826 by J. S. Leam- ing, of Oblo. The Boone County white is another variety of corn grown upon these farms, and was originated in Indiana by Mr. Riley. A complete chemical laboratory bas been established by this firm, in which samples frém many thousand ears-of corn are analyzed, and those ears showing the greatest amount of oil, or proteln, are planted in sepa- rate breeding blocks, one ear being planted to a single row, and these singlo rows are harvested separately. and from the corn raised from theso mother ears 1s selected by analysis that which is highest and planted by Itself another year. These breeding blocks are completely Isolated from any other corn, and are thus kept pure, It fe really remarkable that until recently but little systematic or sci- entific effort has been put forth to im- prove the greatest staple crop and_ money producer of the United States. It is now recognized that it is Just as practical to breed corn for certain purposes ‘and to increase its yield as it is to breed horses for cestain qual- Ities, either for drift, or speed, or to breed cattle either*for the dairy or the block. In all instances this is accomplished by selection, as the fundamental principle of heredity is that “like begets lixe.” Another {mportant feature tn this corn breeding Is that there 1s a largo per cent. of barren stalks in the aver- age corn field. Under the Funk | Brothers’ system of breeding ties barren stalks are detasselled before any pollen is permitted to fertilize the silks of fruitful stalks, and ale ready they have reduced the per cent. of barren stalks quite perceptibly. ‘The chief underlying principle of the corn breeding operations of this com- pany Is to increase and fix the prepo- teney of the various strains of,corn which they are breeding—prepotency meaning the power to transmit desir- able characteristics to future genera- tions. 1 Betng situated in the heart of the corm belt, with ample capital and land | to carry on their operations, and with a trained cor of ehemists and agri: culturists, this company {s inaugurat- Ing a movement that will be of great benefit to the corn ralsers of the | world.—Chicago Record-Herald. | PARENTAL TRAINING. | Smith—How old is your son, Jones?

RECEIVERS TAKE CHARGE Alleged Prophet “Elijah i inseatvaat’ to Extent of About Thirty Mil- | Nons—His Followers. Desert Him. difficulties which began during the cru- ‘sade of John Alexander Dowie, the ‘self-styled “Elijah II,” and his restora- tion host to New York a month ago ‘and which have been rapidly increas« ing since Dowle’s return, culminated ‘Tuesday night in the federal courts taking, possession of all the property controlled by Dowie in Zion City, Ils. This_fown, which was foundéd two yeard-ago by Dowle, has a population of aver ten thousand, is the genetal headquarters for Dowie’s church and 4s sald to represent an expenditure of $20,000,000. Frederick M. Blount, cashier of the Chicago national bank, and Albert D. Currier, a law partner of Congress- man Boutell, were appointed receivers of the property, Their bonds were fixed at $100,000 by Judge Kohlsaat, of the United States district court, who mado the appointment on the petition of several creditors. ‘The receivers left Chicago, Tuesday night for Zion City to take’ possession cf the prop- erty. Insolvency Alleged, The bankruptey proceedings against Dowie were based on the allegation ‘that he is insolvent, and that white in this financial condition he committed an act of bankriptey by making a pre- ferential payment on November 2 to the Streeter Lumber Company for $3, 770. Dowie has been hard pressed by his creditors, especially since it was announced that his recent mission to New York had proved unsuccessful financially. Dowle fs known to have accumulate1 a large sum as the heed of the Carls- tian Catholic church, the assets of the organization beirig estimated at be- tween $20,000,000 ana $30,000,000. ‘There was a large outlay of money, however, when Zion City was started. ‘Then lace and candy industries were started, and as both of these ventures have never been a paying investment, a great deal of moucy was tied up. Wednesday, a week ago, Dowle’s first confession of weakness was mado at a rally in the tabernacle at Zion City. “A lot of you people have cash In your pockets,” Dowle said to his fol- lowers. “ilg down and get it out. It iz God's and we need It in His work. You are cowards if you do not give it up. Deposit it.” Dowie talked in thé same strain for more than an hour, tears glistening on his check as he- told of the financial strafts in which the Zion Industries found themselves, Instead of frightening many {nto de- positing, this appeal sent a long Jino of people to the bank on the next day, when they lined up at the paying tell- er’s window, drawing out thefr money. Failed to Get Funds. é Monday another effort was made by Dowie to get funds, but the depositors who appeared were few and the de- posits: were chiefly in trivial amounts. Tuesday Dowie asked the members of Zion more urgently than ever ior mon- ey. He declared that he must have -$500,600 without, delay. In the efforts to remedy the ¢ondition of affairs at Zion City hundreds’ of letters wero sent out to Dowle's followers in other parts of the country. In these letters all Dowleites are urged, almost com- manded, to soll thelr farms, stores and everything else and*come to the res- cue. It Is declared that the employes of the manufacturing {Industries have not been paid in from four to six weeks. Receftly Dowie made.a trip through the varlous shops. He told his followers and others that they must either walt for thelr salaries or must endure a substantial cut. tn wages. This was agreed to. ATLANTA PIONEER DEAD.

S. Williams of the staff of the Bronx Botanical Gar- dens, was the moving sandhills in the desert between Mollendo and Lake Titicaca, This desert, whidh bas an altitude of 4,000 foet, extends over many hundreds of’ square miles. Ex- cept about the stations, thete is an absolute lack of living things—not a ‘bush, shrub, or animal—to be seen as the train wends its way through the Waste; not even the occasional sword- lke grass that one meets with in most other desert countries. ‘owever, the monotony of an other. wise tiresome trip was broken by the unique sight of the crescent shaped sand dunes, which often attained Atty feet in length, moring slowly along Defore the light breeze. Not one, but hundreds of them; every direction in which one looked from out the cat window he was confronted with these restless sand dunes, and the expert- ence was ed novel that {t rather un- settled the botanlst’s idens of tho solidness of Mother Earth, “Apparently,” explained Mr. Wil- Uams, “the higher winds_on the vast plateau all blow from one direction ‘and sift out the light colored sand, Ughter also in welght, from the dark. er sand and rocks that compose most of the desert, and piles this lighter sand {nto more or less crescent shaped “hills that advance slowly with the wind as {t blows the sand on the ex- | posed side over the crest of the shel- ‘tered side of the pile. The hills, | moreoyer, not only stand ouf clearly ‘deQned over the darker surface, but thelr windward side is covered all over by the most delicate tracery of ttle waves, much similar to those produced on water by a slight breeze, and they are so numerous that a little distance away the outline of one bill becomes merged into that of its nelgh- bors on either stde."—New York ‘Times.
