Indianapolis, Ind., Fob. 15.-Thc United States government Wednes day arrested almost all of the 54 men Indicted in tho dynamite con spiracy cases. lt took into custody within a few hours practically tho entlro oiricial staff of tho International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Work ors. including tho chief olllcers, mem bers of tho oxecutive hoard and about twenty business agents and former business agents. Those in cluded Frank M. Ryan, president; .John T. Butler, Buffalo, N. Y., first vice president, and H. S. Iloekln, second vico president and seceessor to J. J. McNamara, as secretary-trea surer. Each of these men was re quired to glvo $10,000 bond for his appearance Tor arraignment hore with all tho other defendants on March 1 2th. , , n More than forty of the men, chiefly labor union officials, who are charged with conspiring to destroy hy dyna mlto or nitro-glycerine the property of omployors of non-union labor, wero under arrest by to-night, and lt was declared tho apprehension of all the others would follow within 4 8 hours. By fis action tho government re vealed the identities of tho men whom lt charges with being tho ac complices of tlie McNnmnrns and Ortie F.

Fourteen of those indicted are each required to furnish $10,ono bond.and forty are each required to furnish $5,000 bond, making au aggregate bond required of $340,000. Some of those whom the government was un able to lind to-day were reported have disappeared through fear of In ability to get bond. Il was intimated that the Iron Workers' Association would be unable lo furnish security for its Indicted members. Finest fl. W. Basey, former busi nes.s agent ol' the Indianapolis Iron Workers' Union, and lid ward Chirk former business agent of the Cincin nati union, who were brought herc following their arrest at Cincinnati were unable to obtain ball and were taken to jail. When Clark appealer to Secretary Huckin, of the I rot Workers' Association, tor aid, Hock li advised the United States marshal t< inform ('lark the International Asso elation could do nothing for him am referred him to his local union llockin said it would be impnssihl for the International Association t take on thc burden of supplying bal for many ol' the men arrested. Immediately upon his arrest Pres) dent Ryan addressed a statement t union labor men throughout, th country calling upon thom to believ lu his innocence and in tho innc cence of Iiis co-defendants.

Rel FOUR MEN SF NT UP IN CASE. j Will Be Ti led lu May-Alleged Slay er? of Doe Weloorn. Anderson. Feb. 15.-H. W. Hol combe, ex-chlef of police of Town ville, and Justin Woolbright, A. B.I Spears and Jim Baldwin, who are j charged with tho murder of a white ? man named Doc Welborn, wore bon nd over to tho higher court Wed nesday by Magistrate Mu ld row after H preliminary hearing. Judge Mern minger granted ball in tho sum of $2,000 for Holoombo and'Woolbright and $1,000 for Spears and Baldwin. Three well known citizens of Towu ville .signed their bonds and the men were released. Doc Welborn was arrested by these four men nt Townvllle on the night of November 12, 1910, on tho ( barge of drunkenness and disorder ly conduct. After being locked In tho Townvlllo guard-houso by Chief Holcombe, assisted by the other three defendants lu tho caso, the guard-house was burned, and the charred remains of Welborn were found in the ashes. M. C. Long, for merly court, stenographer, but now practicing law In Walhalla, was ap pealed to hy members of Welborn's family and started an investigation, which resulted in tho arrest of these four men. Mr. Long represented the State at the preliminary hearing to-day and lie introduced testimony to show that Welborn's skull had been crushed be fore the body was burned, thus charging the murder of Welborn to the olllcers who arrested him, and who are alleged to have beat him over the hoad while taking him to the gnard-houso. The supposition is that Welborn died from wounds in-I nictod by the olllcers and that the olllcers set fire to tho guard-house to hide t heir erl nu1. The coroner's jury inquiring into Welborn's death at tho limo return ed a verdict that Welborn set lire to thc guard-house In attempting to escape. Al ler i he four men were bound over lo i he higher court this after noon, Mr. Long gave a statement to the press In which he charged that he had furnished Solicitor Bonham and Clovernor Blouse with copies of the testimony of several witnesses when he started the Investigation into the case several months ago, and had urged that an investigation be prosecuted. Mr. Long says in his statement that bo did not receive a reply from either of these gentle men, and states further that certain men whoso duty lt ls to ferret out! and uncover crime, blocked and hindered him in his Investigation. Mr. Long was asked to work up tho ?"iso hy tho grand jury and did so without foe and at lils own ex pense, and in his statement this af ternoon ho says ho intends to have nothing further to do with tho case, as it ls tho duty of tho olllcers of the law to carry tho case to its comple tion. The case has attracted a groat deal of attention, and its outcome in the May session of the court will be awaited with intense interest. The men charged with tho murder are well known citizens of the county. Ti>.? PreH??!*?!nry ",- ?tl ? ? . . I 2, 1!) 10.

The guard-house was a narrow building with a pa rt it ion ; two rooms and two doors. Welborn had been in the right hand room.

There was no lire about (diher door.

Dr. Brsckett told the writer one j day Inst spring, coming up on the train from Columbia, that fish lasted longer as an ammoniutc In fertilizer than any ammonlate used In making fertilizer. Wo have always been heavy users of fish, bm since Dr. Bracket! told us that we have more than doubled the amount of fish we uso. Fish ls tho most expensive am monlate put in fertilizer. Home fer tilizer companies don't use it at all, and we probably use moro per ton than any manufacturer in the busi ness. In the home-mixed fertilizer, or tho fertilizer you mix at home, you only get the ammonia from cot ton seed meal. In thc mixed fertili zer you get from us the ammonia ls derived from Nitrate of Soda, Sul phate of Ammonia, high grade blood, cotton seed meal, tankage and tish scrap. You then have three different kinds of ammoniates: Animal, Vege table and Mineral. These different ammoniates last different lengths of time in the soil. Nitrate of Soda acts quickest and exhausts quickest, Sulphate of Ammonia comes next, blood and cotton seed meal next, tankage a little later, because it ls a coarser grain and tish scrap last of all. and lasts longer than any. As ono of these exhausts tho other comes in. So that by this combina tion of ammoniates we are making fertilizer that feeds and nourishes tho crop from the time it sprouts all through tho working season, all through the laying-by season and un til the plant is matured and the crop ready to he gathered. This is a com plete fertilizer. Now a fertilizer with an ammonl ate that is derived from cotton seed meal only, makes a pretty fertilizer and it does first rate while it lasts. The only trouble is the cotton seed menl exhausts and is through with its work by the time tlie cotton be gins to fruit. .Just at the time when your plant needs more plant food, more ammonia, your ammonlate is exhausted and the plant sheds its fruit. And that cuts your crop. There was less home-mixed fertilizer used in tho spring of 1911 than In any year within our knowledge, and it is a well-known fact that cotton shed less in the year 1911 than any year within your knowledge, and the cotton crop of 1911 was the biggest this country lias ever soon. Cotton fertilized with home-mixed guano always sheds like rips in the fruiting] season. And cotton fertilized with a fertilizer In which fish ls largely used sheds less than any other, and then besides the home-mixed fertilizer is not mixed as completely and as thor oughly as the fertilizer we make. You could mix lt as completely and as thoroughly as we do if you were equipped as we are and had the ex perienced men that we have to mix it,, but you aro not equipped for lt j and it won't pay you to equip to mix fertilizer for one farm. lt pays us I K ^.AO nn.> M.*. ^vnnnt ir. ?liv fort|li./nv \ I ?

Your fertilizer does not run regular, and it can't unless it is thoroughly mixed, your crops will nol be fertilized regularly, and uni s they are fertilized regularly thc crop will be irregular. You all know that it is the regular crop of cotton thal turns off tho best crops. In a field fertilized with your home mixed you will have some good col ton sind some inferior colton, show ing that you have some good fertili zer and some off fertilizer. Two mon were dining. Ono coi., plained to the other that tho egg he was oating was certainly not. sound. The other insisted ' that parts of lt wore splendid, and that is Mic way with home-mixed fertilizer. Parts of lt do very well, the balance of lt will he badly off. In the last few years crop contests of all sorts have been frequent and popular. Wc have never he.rd of a man taking tho prize In a crop contest who used home-mixed fertilizer. And wo have never heard of a man going Into a contest, relying on home-mixed fertilizer. In a contest of that sort ho always gets the regularly mixed goods from a fertilizer manufacturer because he knows lt is better. Does lt not. stand to reason that a fertili zer made hy a fertilizer manufactu rer who is thoroughly equ. '.d with machinery to do mixing and has thor oughly experienced men whoso repu tation; business standing and salary depend upon their mixing the goods properly, goods mixed and manipula ted by them, does lt not stand to reason that they will be better goods than goods mixed and manipulated by tho colored brother who is per haps not over zealous in his work, und who is probably not over consci ent ions In tho discharge of his du ties? A great deal depends upon the mixer. If you give the same material to two cooks ono will make better bread than the other, and don't you think tho ono who makes bread 365 days In Ibo year, and year after year, and whose reputation and standing in the business and salary depend on lils ability to do it limp rely, will make better bread than one who mali es lt for just for a few days In the spring of tho year?

Last spring cotton was high and tho farmer felt like ho could use the best grade of fertilizer, so ho did no home-mixing. He got his goods already mixed be cause he knew they were better. Now if lt pays to use the best fertilizer when cotton is high, lt pays still bet ter when cotto. is at its present price, because when cot tin is cheap it must bo made cheaper to get a profit. You can make more cotton to the acre with ready mixed goods than with home-mixed goods and the more you make to tho acre the cheaper you make lt. Now you may got up a home-mixed 8-3-3, or what you think is 8-3-3, for $2 a ton less than wo sell it to you for. Of thia ton of guano you use 4 00 pounds to the acre-as most of you do-you ought to use 800, but most of you use 400. Using 4 00 pounds to the acre a ton will cover five acres. Now that is reducing the cost of your fertilizer 40 cents an acre. You can tell the dif ference in crops fertilized with some mixed goods and crops fertilized with ready-mixed goods riding along tho road. Hood farmers Who are closo observers say there must be at least [ 300 pounds of seed cotton difference I In the crop before the difference can be noticed riding by. Now this dif ference of 300 pounds of seed cotton Will make more than 100 pounds of lint cotton. This 100 pounds of extra, lint cotton that you make by using ready mixed goods will bring you at present prices between $0 and $10, and this $0 or $10 is made at an ex pense of forty cents. By withholding this 10 cents to the acre you decrease your income from an acre of land be tween $0 and $ 1 0. Now we leave lt to you If that is good business and good farming. Tho money you pay. out for fertilizer is the best invest tuent you can make on a farm. It is the cheapest labor you employ. ? lt is the only labor you can depend on putting lu 24 hours a day, seven days in the week, during tho whole ero)) period. lt gets in its work Sundays, holi days, rainy days and Saturdays ol' 24 hours a day, seven days in tho week, from tho time you plant your crop until you gather it. If you use the same material in making home-mixed fertilizer that we do, it will cost you more than wo ask for ours. Tho reasons you make lt cheaper ls because you uso cotton seed meal only as a source of am monia and that is one of tho cheapest nmmoniates used in a manufactured fertilizer, and lt gives out just when lt ls most needed. Now, confidentially, you let tho other fellow use his littlo home-mix ed goods and you buy your fertilizer from the Anderson Fertilizer Com pany, and make crops. Let the crowd use any fertilizer they want, to, and you uso the best you can get, because the best is the cheapest.

I Now. if you want lo make crops, i and that is what this country depends on, get the best fertilizer. When they are all about the same price get the best get the Anderson Fertili zer. Potash is a very necessary in gredient in making fertilizer. In a. 200-pound sack of your home-mixed goods you have about a peck of kai ' nit and muriate of potash together, I and it will bo Impossible for you to get this mixed thoroughly. And even if you mix lt thoroughly your home mixed won't bo as good as ours, be cause you don't use tho material to make lt as good. When you get our I goods you get 200 pounds and moro to every sack. When a man buys ! fertilizer from us ho gets 2,000 pounds to the ton. Sulphate of am monia will cost, you $60.i>0 a ton, spot cash on delivery. There ls nono of this used In tho hcnic-mixed goods. We use quito a lot of it in malting goods which wo sell for less than $30 a ton, just to maintain our reputation of making tho best, goods put In sacks. Fertilizer amnion ?at ed with nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, high grade blood, high-grade tankage, cot ton seed meal and fish scrap Is a great deni hotter goods and will make a great deal better crops than a fertili zer nmmoniated with ? cotton seed meal only. You have been charging your en tire bill for fertilizer to your cotton crop, when as a matter of fact, you have used this fertilizer under corn, peas, cane, turnips, and everything else you have planted. You have made good crops of these where you have planted. You have made good crops of these where yon would have made very little without it, and have charged tho whole expense to tho cotton crop. T. w. McCarley tell? ns that one sixth of his colton crop will pay for tho fertilizer used under his cotton. J. S. Fowler says a fanner makes a mistake In trying to mix Ms own fertilizer.
