| INDICTS PROMOTER
Millionaire Fitzgerald Must
Answer Fraud Charge.
ACCOUNTING IS WANTED j
Alleged That He Promoted Town of
St. George, in Georgia, and Failed
to Make Showing for $35,000
of the Profits.
y* Philander H. Fitzgerald, milllionaire
pension attorney, colonization organizer,
publisher of the American
Tribune, an old soldier paper, and
real estate dealer, was indicted at
Indianapolis, Thursday, by the federal
_^__jgrand jury on the charge of using
tEfe-atailato defraud. Two indictments,
fcoth of the same general tenor, wrere
returned against him, both in connection
with a colonizing scheme in
Georgia. Fitzgerald went to the fede^
ral building on heaung of the indictment
and gave bond in the sum' of
$4,000 to appear in answer to the
charges.
Fitzgerald began his career in Indianapolis
as a pension attorney soon
after the war, and has done an enormous
business laying the foundation of
his immense fortune out of the $10
fees chat he received for obtaining
? pensions. Soon after he began as a
X-ension attorney, he-inaugurated The
American Tribune, a monthly paper,
which he sent free to former soldiers
\
and in which he recorded the pensions
granted and kept the veterans posted
cn all matters relating to pensions and
laws.
jS . Several years ago he advertised a
colonization scheme open only to veterans
of the war of the rebellion. He
n:irr?ha-?pri a larre tract of land in
the state of Texas and organized a
t company in which he asked the exsoldiers
to take stock.
The Texas project did not pan out
well, and he organized the 1904 Colony
Company and advertised it in his paf\
per. He professed to have purchased
a large tract of land at a site which
- V he called St. George, Ga.; and which
was to be laid out in building and
residence lots and farms from 5 to
365 acres.
' The payment of $10 entitled a person
to one share of stock or a residence
lot; $20 gave him a business lot,
or two shares of stock; $50 would
entitle a person to 5 acres, and so on
... for as much as any cared to take. It >
is charged that Fitzgerald did not incorporate
the company; that he got in
about $70,000 cn his scheme and spent
about $35,COO in platting the town,
^ building a postofhce and making other
improvements; that he has not divided
the surplus, as he promised; that he
did not aiwoint a board of governors,
T Ponce, Porto Rico, early in the day
for Hjampton Roacls.

A
HIGHER WAGES GRANTED
To 30,000 Cotton Mill Operatives in
Fall River?Threatened Strike and
Demands Were Granted.
The great army of cotton mill employees
in Fall River, Mass., have won
a tattle for an increase in wages, and
o0,000 operatives will come under a
scale giving them 10 per cent more
than the present rate.
The granting of the advance by the
manufacturers prevented a strike, the i
workmen having- voted to stop work

not accented.
M. C. D. Borden, an independent
cotton manufacturer, employing 5,000
operatives, Uok the lead in meeting
the demands of the mill hands by announcing
that the scale of wages in
his mills would i>e raised 10 per cent.
No demand had been made upon the
proprietor of Fall River iron works
mills, and his action practically forced
the other mill manufacturers to
grant the increase.
The new pay scale affects seventy
corporations operating ninety-two
mills, besides the iron works plant.
The manufacturers associations agreement
to pay the increase is for a peried
of six months, but provision is
made for extending it.
Between November, 1903, and July,
1004, the Fall River operatives suffered
reductions aggregating 22 1-2
per cent. Last spring a part of the cut
was restored, and in view of the continued
prosperous business condition, |
the operatives demanded a complete
resumption of the 1903 scale.
It is considered probable that other
cotton mills ultimately will be benefit- J
ed by the determined stand taken by !
"but did unlawfully and feloniously
convert all of said profits to his own
use."
The alleged plat of land on which
St George is situated is on the Geor?
gia. Southern and Florida railway, between
Valdosta and Jacksonville, Fla.
Mr. Fitzgerald charges the suits are
the result of spite work.

that his attorney would not make any j

damper over his hopes, and Friday j
evening he sent an urgent message j
to Rev M. A. Morgan, local Method- j
ist minister, asking him to come to j
the jail. Mr. Morgan, responded very
promptly, supposing that Rawlings
wanted some spiritual advice or com-1
fort.
"I just want to tell you," said Rawlings
to the minister, when the latter
reached the cell in which the condemned
man was confined, "that the
way things are going now my blood
will be upon the hands of the South
Georgia Conference, which is to meet

the governor to respite Alf Moore

ADMITS HIS GUILT
Old Joe Smith, Head of Mormon
Church, Fined $300.
IS TOO MUCHLY MARRIED
Addresses the Court and Pleads for
Leniency?Case Was Made on Advent
of His Forty-Third on
List of Progeny.
At Salt Lake City, Utah, Friday,
Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon
church, appeared in the district
court before Judge Ritchie, pleaded
guilty to a charge of having too many
wives, and a fine of $300 was imposed.
The charge under which the Mormon
prophet was arrested and fined
was based the^recent birth of President
Smith's forty-third child, born to
his fifth wife.
Earlier in the day counsel for Smith
secured a transfer of the case from
the criminal division of that court,
where Judge Armstrong presided, to
Judge Ritchie's division.
After the non recess, when the courtloom
was practically deserted, Smith
went before Judge Ritchie,' offered his
plea and the fine was imposed.
The old man addressed the court. He
slated that his last marriage was in
ISS4. All his marriages, he said, were
entered into with the sanction of the
church, and, as tney believed, with the
approval of the Lord. According to his
faith, and the law ef the church, they
were eternal in duration. He continued:
. .. , .
"In the- tacit'general understanding
that was had in IS90 and the years
subsequent thereto, legarding what
were classed as the old cases of polyg
.amy, I have appreciated the magnanimity
of the American people in not enforcing
a policy thai lu their minds
was unnecessarily harsh, but which assigned
the settlement of this difficult
problem to the onward progress of
time.
'"Since 1S90 a very large percentage
of the polygamous families have ceased
to exist, until new the number within
the jurisdiction of this court is very
small, and marriages in violation of
j the iaw hawe been and now are prohibited.
In view of this situation,
which has fixed with certainty a rej
suit that cannot be easily measured
| up, the family relations in the oid
j cases of that time have been generally
I left undisturbed. So far as my own
i case is concerned, I, like others who
I had entered into solemn religious ob
ligations, sought, to the best of my
; ability, to comply with all requirej
ments pertaining to the trying position
j in which we were placed. I have felt
j secure in the protection of' that mag!
nanimous sentiment which was extend|
ed as an olive branch in 1890 and
subsequent years to those old cases
of plural family relationships which
j came within its purview, as did mine.
"When I acepted the manifesto issued
by President W'ilford Woodruff,
j I did not understand that I would be
I expected to .abandon and discard my
wives. Knowing the sacred covenants
and obligations which I had assumed
by reason of these marriages, I have
conscientiously tried to discharge the
responsibilities attending them without
being offensive to any one. I have
never flaunted my family relations before
the public, nor have I felt a
spirit of defiance against the law, but,
on the contrary, I have always desired
to be a law-abiding. citizen. In considering
the trying position in which
I have been placed, I trust that your
honor will exercise such leniency, in
your sentence, as the law and justice
will permit."
Judge Ritchie imposed the maximum
fine, but omitted the jail sentence of
from one day to six months, which he
might have imposed under the Utah
statute.

being uttering fictitious paper. The
accusation grows out of the Milwaukee

BIG SHIPS IN COLLISION.
%
Thirteen Steerage Passengers and Sailors
Lose Life in Crash?Vessels
Were Wilhelm and Orinoco.
A special from Cherbourg, France,
says: The big liners, the -Yaiser Wil- I
helm dor Grosse and the Orinoco, collided
In the English channel Wednesday
night at 9 o'clock. As a result
13 steerage passengers and sailors
were hilled, each vessel was seriously
damaged, and the two steamers have
returned to port for repairs.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse be- j
longs to the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. She carried 258
first class passengers, 289 in the second
cabin and 697 in the steerage. She
left Southampton and Cherbourg Wednesday
for New York. The Orinoco,
which belongs to the Eritish Royal
Mail Steamship company, had cleared
from Southampton for West Indian
ports and New York. The passengers
of the German vessel will be transshipped
and leave France for New
York Saturday. The Orinoco's passengers
will be sent forward from
Southampton on November 28.
The shock of the collision was terrific
and created a panic on board
each ship. Order, however, was quickly
restored, but not before a small
boat lowered from the Orinoco had
been swamped by the effort of the fearstricken
passengers to crowd into it.
As soon as the accident occurred
a number of small boats from Cherbourg
put out to the scene and succeeded
in rescuing some of the sailors
j and passengers who were struggling
in the waves.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been fixed, but it is charged,
that the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
did not respond to signals from the
English ship.

At the New Jersey station every
I .'ow in the herd was tested carefully,
j with records for a complete year.
The result shows the great difference
in cows fed on equal amounts of food.
The best cow gave S203 pounds of
I milk and the poorest cow only 4413
pounds. The best cow produced fat
equal to 405 pounds of butter, and
the poorest cow 202 pounds. Here is
a statement which represents the
value of milk that will interest all:
At 1 cent At 3 cents Cost of
per lb.' per qt. feed.

Poorest cow.. 44.13 60.74 42.34
Average cow. 63:14 86.89 42.34
What a margin between the best
and the poorest! One paid a little
profit, even with milk at two cents a
quart; the other hardly paid for her
food, to say nothing of other expenses.

Squash bugs that pass the winter
- as adults remain in the field until
nearly the end of July. The eggs
upon the leaves are more abundant
then than at ar.; other time, early in
August the disappearance of the
adults becoming noticeable, freshly
laid eggs not being so numerous.
During August,' however, the adults
of the new generation become abundant,
but do not lay eggs, hence
there is but one brood of squash
bugs each year. When autumn
frosts appear, some of the bugs are
still immature, and congregate upon
the unripe fruit, where they such
the juices, many thus being able tc
become adults during the mild au1
tumn days. In winter they are con(
cealed beneath fallen leaves, stones,
logs, boards, etc., remaining dormant
. until the warm days of spring, and
fly to any squash plants that may be
, up,- finding their food, as it seems
, evident, by the sense of smell. A
number of bugs will congregate on 2
leaf and cause it to dry up, and this
dead portion may vary from a primrose
gray to a dark brownish-black
The bugs are generally present foi
work as soon as the young plants ap
pear. Later on in the stage ol
growth of the squash plant the rooi
borer and fungus appear. A sudder
1 wilting and drooping of the plant
characterizes the attack of the rooi
, I borer, which is believed to be th<
i larva of the striped beetle. Th<
plant may be thrifty in the morninc
1 and dead at night.. When attackec
by fungus the leaves begin to dry ui

; dark green, dried-up blotches appeal
on the leaves and the plant dies with
out wilting. Many remedies hav<
been resorted to. The squash bug
like nearly all insects, is attacked b:
parasitic flies. The squash bug se
cretes an odor which repels toads t(
a certain extent, hence the toad wil
consume them only when very bun

Feeding Silage to Sheep.
s Some sheep-growers are enthusias

food for sheep; on the other hand
e a large number do not think so we]
- " -L' 1- ~ V. ~;
l- Ot It. All lliuse WI1U uavc ti i^va j
c have agreed with references to th
wisdom of feeding a moderate quae

vv i
m B|ll? ?
.-irr flrt/>v when rhp silaere has
Clt%v IU LUauvu * MVM ^
been properly cured. On the other
hand, quite a number have found
trouble from feeding it in large - 5
quantities. On the whole, it is not
to be considered as satisfactory food
for sheep as field roots since more especially
when there is much corn
in the silage it has a tendency to
produce a heated condition of the
system, which with breeding ewes is
noc desirable.
It is not^well, perhaps, to feed corn
silage to a breeding flock more than |
once a day, and when so fed the aim
should be to give them clover hay or
alfalfa at least once a day in order"5
to produce a proper balance in the
ration. In cold weather it is probably
wiser .to feed the silage at noon
than morning or night. When exposed
to such weather for only a few
minutes, the temperature as cool as J
is frequently 'found in sheep sheds,
it will freeze more or less, or if it does
not freeze it becomes very cold. For
this reason it is better to feed it in
the middle of the day in cold weather
for at that time the temperature is .
usually many degrees warmer than
in the morning or evening. *
It is not common to feed more
than two to four pounds of silage per - .- ^
head per day to sheep, but some
farmers who grow winter iambs feed
as much as that twice a day, more
especially after the lambs ha\e bden
born. A great advantage of silagh
as a food for sheep consists in its .
cheapness. It furnishes the cheapest v|
food that may be fed to them, and
when properly fed there should be i\p M
fear of hurtful results from feeding \j>
silage well made.
Filling the Silo..
Ensilage in order to keep well,
must be free from water. It is well,,
therefore, for it to be cut and
shocked a few days beforehand. Dry
or half cured corn may be safely si- ..J
loed if water is added to it to make
* moisture enough to start the fer.mW- 'jjjjj
tation. Sometimes half djied corn
will make quite good ensilage with- ;fjl
out any water. The stalks"usually
contain sufficient water at this stage jf
for the corn to cure itself, so that'an [
excess of water would tend to acidity. ^
The finer the corn is cut the better it - M
will pack, and it is desirable to have' .1
it pack as closely as possible, as it is ^
carried in from the cutter by treading.
It should be tread, not only at
the sides, but in the middle, for mrlch
more fodder can thus be got into the
silo. The object is to get the ensilage
in as solid as possible so as to- ;J
eiclude the air. The best condition
of it, including absence of sourness, ' J
depends on thi3 solid packing. Formerly
it was customary to sprinkle vji
salt over the ensilage, as it was /:;3j
packed down, but this is now known. ;$1
to be unnecessary, if not a detriment. . ijj
Far more preferable it is to have two . M
men in the silo as it is filled to see ;J|
that the ensilage is spread evenly and
tread down firmly. If tdie silo is
square the corners should certainly
be well tramped. When the receptacle
has been filled to the^ lowest door
this should be fitted into its place
and perfectly sealed against the entrance
of air. A strip of tarred roof- 3,
inc uaDer tacked over the joints of .
1 the door helps to prevent the entrance
of air there as well as the es1
cape of.the carbonic acid gas in the
L silo; by no means should this have a
1 chance to leak out, for if it does air ?|j
! must of necessity get in, whereupon
1 a new fermentation will be started
and a continuous mischief going on
' at each door, resulting in more or
less damage to the entire contents of
' the silo.?Fred O. Sibley, Milford,
