United States Secret Service Men q
Take Possession of His Apartment
and Its Contents.
o
New York, Sept. 14.?Department q
of justice agents took possession j(
late today of the apartment of Gas- t|
ton B. Means, companion of Mrs. f,
Maude A. King when she met her n
death at Concord, N. C. Secrecy
was maintained as to the reason for u
federal intervention in the case and C1
as to the nature of additional pa- e
pers which were seized. t,
Tho copppt oorvlpp Qponfo an

nounred. however, that they had a
found a complete telephone listen- (]
ing device and a revolver with a v
supply of cartridges. It was inti_ f
mated that the telephor.-- system 0
had been carefully hidden in the p
apartment. b
Another figure who reappeared n
tonight in District Attorney Swann's p
investigation was Henry Deitch. n
father-in-law of Afton Means. [8(
brother of Gaston Means, who went o
from the Means apartment to the ?,
criminal court building at the re- r]
quest of one of Mr. Swann's assistants.
He was accompanied by two e]
detectives. tc
"What he knows just figures in
the preparation for the proof of Ht
foul play in the case," Mr. Swann p,
said. "We are led to believe that b<
preparation for the crime was made u
here."
This announcement was made af- 1,3
ter the original of the alleged sec- ni
ond wll of James C. King was de- p<
llvered to Mr. Swann.
Assistant District Attorney Dool- si
ing made public tonight what he
said were extracts from a letter B
written in Concord. August 25, four pj
days before the death of Mrs. King. si
He declined to give the writer's Sa
name or to tell to whom the letter tli
was addressed. One paragraph
read: cr
"Must impress upon you that you ni
don't hang yourself and get in this. n,
We are not going to get into trou- (*r
ble. This affair of ours is coming ai
to a crisis shortly." Another ex- ai
tract was: ca
"I know more about this than I hj
can tell. You follow and stick to p<
my advice. Naturally there are |><
enemies but nothing can affect or t
barm us." b<
Mr. Dooling said the plan to have ca
the socalled King will probated was hi
proposed in 1915 but never was car- ni
ried out. Among the papers found, l*
Mr. Dooling said, were some that ec
dealt with war munitions. fa

FIMJN(> THE SILO. w
w
Points to Ik' Considered For Host
Results. J"
Clenison College, Sept. 14.?Dis_ f
trlbuting and packing silage in the
silo is frequently neglected. Unless jr
the blower has a distributor attach- a(
ment there is a tendency for the cut j((
corn to fall in one place in the silo. (j(
If the stalks are frequently blown ()
to the outside and the heavier parts, n]
ears and butts of stalks, are denos- ?
?- - w
ited in the center, thus causing an s(
uneven distribution of grain and al
stalk and a consequent uneven
quality of silage. Uneven distrtbu- vj
tion is frequently the cause of soft ;
places and air pockets, which laterjW
result in spoiled silage. When the r{
lighter portions are blown to the
outside they do not pack well and fj
the silage spoils near the wall. Such
spoilage, which really results from
careless filling, is often attributed to ol
the silo. h,
Package the silage is equally as a
important as distribution. Thor- w
ough packing requires persistent U]
work. Good silage can be had only -pi
by uniform packing and uniform
distribution of the corn. The entire
surface, especially the outer edge,
should he packed firmly. The best
help obtainable should be stationed sj
in the silo. That is where the silage
is ultimately made, and success de- (n
pends on the ability of the men to ^
distribute and pack the corn prop- ar
erly. th
The large cutter with the corresponding
large capacity frequently ay
saves money in filling the silo, but it
may result in a waste of the stor- jP
age capacity of the silo. If the silo at
1b filled rapidly the corn has little nj
time to settle. Slow filling allows j,,
the corn to settle as It is stored. m
with the result that more corn can m
be placed in the silo. To overcome
the disadvantage of rapid filling
woven wire may be extended above fj,
the top of the silo, thus increasing er
its capacity until it can settle. Pat- th
ent roofs are made which serve the foj
same pupose. Refilling in two or ar
three days will accomplish the same ?,t
end. oj
Corn cut at the proper stage Ar
should require no additional water. ar
When the crop has becom? too dry, re
water will add to the keeping quail- eti
ties and palatabllity of the silage. I fr
Water may be run into the blower c\
TI
r directly into the silo. Id the gent
iter case it must be well distrlbut- T
d. Silage made from fodder re- whit
