Conditions on Which He

William S. Taylor, formerly govern*
or of Kentucky, whose extradition has
I
been sought by the authorities of that i
tt . state
since the assassination of Governor
William Goebel seven years
8E? *"
ago gave out a statement at Indianapolis,
Indiana, Friday night, which
he said is the first public statement
he has made since leaving his native
state*
He first dissects the promises of |
immunity, said to have been offered
him recently should he testify in the
Caleb Powers case and then says to
Hie Kentucky authorities that he is
wiHinar ro return to his hem^ state
and stand trial on the charge against
.himself if granted certain guarantees.
: The statement says:
"For more than seven years I have \
jp? borne in silence the slan%r and perT
. secutions of those who robbed me of
I what heaven knows was my own and
"who, to conceal that crime against liberty
and for no other reason, indicted
and drove me into exile. I trust ;
^ an indul^nt public will permit me
now to break that silence.
' "Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin
of Kentucky knows that I have fully
testified in the Powers case by deposition.
This testimony is a Part of
she record of the case, and is accecsifcle
to him. He knows, to3, that he
had a right to crcss-examine me at
the time I gave it and eld not do so.
He knows that neither. he nor any
other officer or combination of officers
in Kentucky has the legal right to
onrl t h U.T THTPrA
I?Z?itlli SUU1X iiuuiuuiv; uuu vUwv .. v.. .
I to return under such promises o. I
immunity I would be arrested, denied f
bail and, like Mr. Powers, be subjected j
? to nothing less than a mock trial by j
v a partisan court, before a packed par- I
' risan court with a $100,000 corruption
fund as a powerful incentive to conviction.
The law is clear that Mr.
- 'Franklin or any other officer has no
|i power to promise immunity.
"But inasmuch as Mr. Franklin
I abounds in propositions and premises
j. and seems enamored of the idea that
C - he can do things, I will say this:
"If he will in some way provide !
an absolute guaranty?not merely a
promise?a guaranty that will inspire
- confidence among sensible, level-headed,
honest men?a guaranty the spirit
of which may not be violat-.d though j
|| the letter be observed, that I will be j
? given a fair and impartial trail I will >
11 gladly return to Kentucky and submiit
to trial
"In other words if Mr. Franklin will
cause what remains of the one hun- J
?dred thousand dollar corruption fund |
to be returned to the treasury of Ken- j
tucky. no part of it to be used in j
the prosecution; will guarantee irat !
all trial jurors In my case shall be I

select an impartial jury judge
to try my case, I will, without any
%'y yromisr of,Immunity, voluntarily return

JUDGE JONES DEFIANT.
Charges Federal Grand Jury to Indict I
Alabama Officials Who Dare to j
Show Contempt of His Court.
?
In his charge to the United States !
grand jury, at Montgomery, Ala., on j
Wednesday afternoon, Judge Thomas
G. Jones made it plain that he expected
them to indict any state or county
officer who interferes in any way
with the orders of his court with regard
to -the state railroad laws which
LiV^ 5UO/C1IUCU CllliA ICOCicuutu.
The incident grows out of the threat
on the part cf state solicitors and
sheriffs to make arrests for violations
of the state laws that have be-en held
up by order of the United States court,
and indicates that the judge is ready
for any sort of fight the state may
see fit to put up on his court.
The judge tells the jury that they
are likely to be held in session until
there is a settlement of the cases, or'"
such a let-up in the proceedings that
they can be safely let go without fear
of discredit to the court. He says:
"Recent events will compel the
ccun 10 UtHUlU JUU UCie iswuie uuic
watchingf it may be, for overt acts
of resistance to the process of the
court which some now threaten in the
near future. The situation here is ab.
normal, so uncalled for, so unwise, so
detrimental to the welfare and peace
of our people, that the court feels
compelled by a high sense of duty to
call your attention to it."
t The law is then citied as to the
right of the federal court to enjoin
acts by the state until such acts are
declared to be legal, and the Revised
Statutes are recited to show that any
who violate the orders of the court
may be imprisoned and not only fined
for contempt, but also indicted and1'
given long terms in the penitentiary.
All these things the judge tells the
jury they not only have a right to
apply, but it is their duty to apply
them.
lie says all the power of the flag
and the nation is behind them to enforce
the orders of the court, and that
officers of the state will not be allowed
in any sense to defy the tribunal.
Among other things, he says:
"Are the lives of interstate passengers
to be endangered by such a state
of things? Are the mails of the country
and interstate commerce to be delayed
and the flag which stands behind
the order of the court insulted
by such lawless arrests? No one
would respect the American people
if its government tolerated such conditions
on any foot of American soil
longer than is necessary to bring its
power to bear upon the transgressor."
The jury is charged to inquire of |
every offense brought to its knowledge j
of resistance to the process of the j
courts or efforts to obstruct or impede j
the due administration of justice in
the cases now up.
in a statement given to the public
Wednesday afternoon Governor Co-1
mer announced that if the railroads J
of the state are not obeying the laws!
of the state by October 1st, as is the j
case with several lines,, he will call!
an extra session of the legislature to j
enact such law*s as are necessary to j
give the state power to enforce its
statutes.
The governor recites that the de- j
mands of the state are very moderate j
and reasonable, that several lines j
have seen them tc be so and there !
is no reason to stand out against!
them longer. He thinks they can b* j
tested in the courts and given every !
show as to legality. He says that i
he must enforce the law, that it is j
his constitutional duty to do so.

CASH TO MOVE CROPS.
Secretary of Treasury Corteiyou
Adopts New Plan to Forestall
Possible Panic in Money.
Secretary of the Treasury Corteiyou
announced Friday a new plan of depositing
government funds in New
York, Boston and other cities, to afford
relief to the money market in
the appropaching crop movement period.
Commencing next week, he will
place each week at such points in
tne country as ne snaii designate, government
funds to such an amount as
he deems sufficient to prsvent an acute
monetary stringency and possible panic
when the demand foi money is greatest
at the height of the crop-moving
period.
The n?w plan of the secretary for
'monetary relief, he believes, will
prove more efficacious than the old
method of waiting until the country
was severely shaken financially and
then coming to the relief at the last
moment by placing large deposits in
New York banks. Secretary Cortelyou
did not state how much money
he will deposit each week.
The plan was made known in New
York Friday in the rollowing official
statement to the Associated Press:
"Secretary Cortelyou announced
that beginning with next week the
treasury department will make each
week for a period of not less than
five weeks, deposits in national banks
at Xew York, Boston and other points,
the security required to be approved
on state, municipal and railroad oonds
acceptable under the existing requirements
of the department with the understanding
that, if called for, such
deposits shall be returned after January
1 in installments to be fixed by
the secretary of the treasury.
"This action is taken to meet the
commercial and industrial needs of
the country at this season, and is believed
to be preferable to waiting until
a time of acute stringency when the
only alternative would be a large general
deposit. The latter policy the secretary
desires to supplant by one
which shall have as its ultimate object
the adjustment of the operations cf
the treasury department, as rapidly as
may be practicable under existing law,
in such manner as shall preclude their
being: any sense a disturbing factor
ill the business world
"Under the new plan, the secretary
will place the government funds in
amounts large enough to meet the
situation. For thi3 purpose, he may
deposit all custom funds which he is
permitted to under the Aldrich act,
and if these are not sufficient he will
augment them from the treasury balance
which increases each week after
Ike usual July deficit.
"Secretary Ccrtelyou in placing the
government funds will depend much
upon the bureau urgently established
in the treasury department to inform
him where stringency is being felt
most. He believes that by not announcing
in advance the amounts to be
deposited he will prevent speculators
from taking advantage of the situation
and obtaining money which he
believes should go into other channels.
"In
previous years the sudden outpouring
of money from the national
treasury, when a crop moving stringency
was absorbing all availablefunds,
made a good export movement
possible by the very violence of the
reaction. The financial situation has
occupied Secretary Cortelyou's attention
for some time, and he is dcing
what he can to bring relief. Notwith*

standing ntsivv ucumuuo ivi mc
000,000 Panama bonds which are still
unused, the secretary declines to place
them on sale as the government does
not need money and their purchase
by the ?baiiks would tie up additional
millions."

A speaker at a Wisconsin farmers'
institute calls attention to the fact
that clover has a bis value as a fertilizing
crop. For Wisconsin there
is about eight dollars of fertility in
a ton of clover hay, and it is worth
three-quarters of that in manure
after it has been fed. Therefore, if
an acre yields two tons of clover hay,
having a feeding value of $1G, and it
fs fed on the land, so that $12 of fertilizer
can be returned to the soil, a
value of $28 would be realized, and
in addition there wor'd be one-third
of the crop in the ground, which
would remain in the soil to fertilize
It, supplying the important element
of humus.?Weekly Witness.

Too Mnch Alfalfa.
I am inclined to believe that some
j of us have made mistakes by sowing
too much alfalfa seed. Two years
k ago, on our farm, we prepared
twenty acres of land for this crop,
plowing in July after wheat, and
harrowing it eight or ten times, getting
it into the finest tilth imagini
able. This made an ideal seed bed.
I rrr- 3 j. - ?_ -e j
I ive &uweu Lwtjmj pouuus in goou
i alfalfa seed to the acre, and I am
! confident that the stand was entirely
J too thick. There is a distinct rela|
tion between the amount of seed to
use and the state of preparation of
the land. I think that on land prepared
like that above described ten
pounds of seed would have made an
excellent stand. However, if the
land is cloddy or otherwise in bad
condition, it may be necessary to use
j even as much as thirty-five pounds
! of seed. Usually it will be cheaper
i to put the land in an ideal condition
; of tilth and use a smaller quantity
i of seed.?W. J. Spillman, in Hoard's

Practical Poultry Points.
If hens lay soft-shelled eggs, it is
a. good indication that they need
lime, and a supply should be kept
where they can help themselves.
Whitewash the hen house frequently.
Lime will not only arrest
disease to a certain extent, but destroys
lice, also ill odors, and gives
a neat, clean appearance to the place.
Have movable perches, they are
more easily kept clean.
Plant sunflowers in the waste corners.
They are said to be valuable
in warding off malaria, and they certainly
furnish, in their seed, a fine
dessert for the poultry in winter, especially
the laying hens.
Place the mother hen's coop in, or
near, the garden, so that the little

A Valuable Leguminous Crop.

value of nitrogenous plants in the inv
provement of the soil, being disposed
to estimate only their food value oj

? crops and the labor required for their
j cultivation. It is a great mistake to
look only to the immediate cash returns
regardless of the condition of
the land after the crop has been harvested,
for there is a great difference
in the comparative values of crops
that exhaust the fertility of the soil
and those which do not exhaust, but,
on the contrary, add fertilizing ele
ments thereto. All leguminous plants
do this and therefore they should be
planted in rotation for the benefit of
crops that are to follow them.
The soja bean, which is not well
known in this country, being from
Japan, contains more protein and fat
than the cow pea. One of the advantages
with both crops is that the
vines are highly relished by cattle
and where crops are grown and hogs
turned in to do the harvesting, the
results have been very satisfactory
and the land improved. Those who
have grown the soja bean commend it
highly. It has but few beans in a
pod, while the cow pea (which is
really a bean) has half a dozen, but
the soja bean has many more pods
than the cow pea. The soja bean
grows from two to four feet high
and ripens about the first of October,
but if the vines are preferred for hay
they may be cut down aboutythe latter
part of August. As much as forty
bushels of seed per acre have been
grown on good land, under favorable
conditions. There are several varle'
' * -9 .? A 1_i 3 ? 1 _ _ ...

preferred. The soja bean is quite
hardy and can stand a slight touch
of frost, but the cow pea thrives only
under climatic conditions favorable
for garden beans.
It is better to procure seed of the
soja bean grown in the North, if
possible, as the seed from very far
South is not well adapted to the
Northern climate. The growing of
the soja beans and cow peas widens
the farmer's privileges by giving him
two crops rich in seed and vine and
of qualities that serve to assist him
in winter when variety of food may
be necessary in order to keep the.
stock in thrifty condition. Canada
has made her field pea a leading crop
for years and greatly to her advantage.
With cow peas and soja beans
our farmers can grow better foods
with no additional expense than from
grain crops, while the soil can be
greatly increased in fertility by plowing
under the vines, especially if lime
is also used on the land.?Epitomist.
Beautify the Farm Home.
i TTIrprv farm hnma <hnnld have a
lawn regardless of the size of the
farm and of the dwelling. There :i
no more enjoyable place to live than
in a comfortable farm home, which
is snugly surrounded by a beautiful
lawn and shade trees. * A pretty lawn
and shade trees are necessary luxuries
within the reach of every farmer.
The cost for trees, plants and
grass seed is comparatively nothing,
while the benefits and pleasure to be
derived are considerable. If farm
homes and farm life were more attractive
and pleasant, there would be
less trouble encountered about keeping
the children on the farm. Moreover,
pleasant surroundings have an
uplifting effect upon character, especially
those of immature persons.
A farm house may appear small and
uninviting in a treeless yard, but if
it were to be surrounded by a lawn,
a few ornamental or fruit trees, there
would be a decided change for the
better and the same place would be
made to appear cozy and cheerfu\
And it only takes a few trees and
some grass to make the change
Those who already have lawr.s and,
perchance some shade trees, should
endeavor to make the lawn still more
beautiful. Provide better trees and
| more of them if there is plenty of
room. Replace those old cottonwood
and soft maple trees with better and
more beautiful ones. There is nothing
better for both landscape effect
and windbreak purposes than hardy
varieties of evergreen spruce, pine
and fir. Many a farm has a tidy and
comfortable appearance because such
, trees are set wide apart in the lawn
i and associated with arbor vitae i
hedges that are properly trimmed
and cared for. Fine flowering and j
foliage shrubs are cheap and plenti- [
. ful these days and should have a
| place around every farm home. But
. it is by no means necessary or desirable
to crowd the lawn with trees
, and shubbery; indeed one of the first
principles of correct landscape gar.
dening is to reserve a wide expanss
, of lawn, placing the shrubbery main.
ly in masses in corners.
, After trees have been set out in
. the lawn, the matter should not stop
there. The highways would loot
. much better if.the owners of # the
i farms would set out some good trees
i along the roadside. Of course thej
i shnnld riot be set so close tosrether
[ that they would shade and sap th
r fields too much for the good of the
. crops. But a row of hard maple, elm
L or black walnut trees, set at regulai
intervals, :s a valuable addition tc
every farm. And besides improving
appearances, the trees may b?
> utilized sometimes for wire string ,
