I - I . ist Week in Charleston a Confer sacs of great Importance te Insurance mtetreatt In south Carolina was held between State Insurant, Commission? er McMaster and tin- sxeeutlvs com? mittee of the Southeastern Under? write-' association. The conference was held at the home of A. T. Smythe, ral counsel ??f the Underwriters' ? latlon, who is unalde to he abrroad becauet of ? fractured limb. Tri.- conference was attended by B. c,. Sa lads of Columbia. S. Y. Tuppcr of Atlanta. Milton Oargan of Atlanta nid Mr. Rggleeton, of Atlanta, mem ben of the executive committee of the nnderwrltera Commissioner McMaster has noti? fied Ins Underwriters association that he holds the opinion that the assocSi tlon Is sstablishlng and maintaining excessive and unreasonable rates of insurant ? and that therefore each I com pan) which is g member <>f the i soclatlon is violating section 1781 ot Ihi sods of HIS, which declares that "no insurance company shall be per* mitt- d to do business In tliis State whit h shall be ? member of any asso i ttlon whose purpose is te establish. As or maintain sxcesslvc or unreason? able rates or chart's for Insurance." iti accordance with hli construction Iof the law the commissions? would, after licencing companies which are members of the Underwriters' aatocla tlon, proceed against them for viola? tion of the section and seek Imposi? tion ?Pf pesalty for their acts by the courts. Hi has proposed to tin- as ? lation. however, te make it possi? ble for the association or the individ? ual companies which are members of it to brim,' his ruling to a test in another way, namely, by s refusal on lu^ part to issue licenses to the com? panies on the grounds stated, opening to the companies tin- opportunity of proceeding by mandamus against him tu compel him to issue the licence. The association bus, however, not ac? cepted this proposal, but neither do its members wish proceedings to be tak? en ugalnsl them, with the possibility of suffering penalty lor violation of the law If the courts uphold the rul? ing of the commissioner. They, there? fore, asked for n conference with Commissioner McMaster to consider the whole (|ueetlon and to see If some common ground can not be found. The* onferencc went very fully Into all the points at issue, but no result was announced, and it is possible that the conference will be resumed.

State Forces Extremely Active In Sonore end Outnumber Federal Forcen Ton to One?Fighting at Long Range ami IV? Killed and Wounded* Douglas, Ariz., March 10.?State troops and recruits of Sonora, rally? ing to the call of the State govern? ment to oust ail of Hue!tas federal soldiers from the border country, yes? terday scored their drat victory In arresting Nacosarl,, an Impotant min? ing town below this point, from the federal garrison. The defeated fed? erals not killed or captured arrived early today on a special train at Auga Prleta, opposite Douglas, their oommander mortallj wounded and 20 others hurt. from various points along the Ari? zona border come reports of other movements of State troops against border and inland towns held by small federal garrisons. Nine hundred constitutionalists began moving today agalnat Nogales, Bonora, opposite the Arizona town of the same name, and it IS reported that a straggle is in progress tit El Elgre, an American mining town northeast* of Nacosarl. Reliable reports give the constitu? tionalist wounded at Nacosarl as only nine. Most of the lighting was at long rang?-. The rebels having no artillery, Kept under cover to avoid the fire of two machine guns used by the fed? eral garrison. The State troops, how? ever, during Saturday night crept close to the town and early Sunday morning began a hot tire. Yesterday afternoon thoy over? powered the Huerta tr tops, who tied. Added proof of the capture of Nil cozari. the first victory for the in? surgent Sonora troops, tame with tile arrival at Auga Prleta of a special train heating 176 defeated federals. Lieut. Col, Lopes, federal commander, had been shot through the neck and was in a critical condition. Twenty soldiers ware wounded.* No Americans were hurt except J. 8, Williams, Jr.. a mining man. who was wounded Saturday. The federals admitted that N'acozari was in con? trol of the constitutionalists. The capture of Nacosarl opens the road, it is believed, to Auga Prieta, and if the latter town is taken the In? surgent State troops can march west? ward along the holder, encountering only small garrisons at Nogales, Naco and other small towns. At none of the potts on the Sonora Arizona border are there mole than ::aa federal troops, ah the Huerta soldiers in northern Sonora do not ex? ceed 1,000 men. it waa said today, on sound authority, while the state gov? ernment in its revolt against the pro? visional president within a few days has raised an army of nearly lO.auO men, according to reports from va? rious State leaders. The Huerta soldiers left their posi? tion at Bl Tigre during the night, only to be trapped by the State troops. An hour's light ensued. The State troops captured 10 rifles and one machine gun abandoned by the federals, who also lost four killed ami seven wound? ed before retreating in disorder to? ward Auga Prleta. The constitution? alists, under Comlsarlo Camou, re? turned to K\ Tigre, being reinforced by other small trOUpS of State troops in the neighborhood. "Official Information. The United States Senate has just 1 -un d a pamphlet which contains an official attempt of the government to enlighten its citizens on tin- "Fried? ann Treatment for Tuberculosis," a document submitted by the Sec? retary of State to the President and transmitted by the latter to the Sen? ate, by which it was published as Senate Document No. 1018, With the exception of a less than two-page in? troduction by the consul-general at ratlin, this document consists en? tirely of a translation of Dr. Frled mann's Berlin address ami the dis? cussions on it as they appeared some time ago in the Berliner klinische Wochenahrift. The technical lan? guage of this translation can he Compared only to that sometimes teen in the unedited letters of "Voo doo" and similar "doctors." Why the government came to pub? lish such a ridiculous document is an interesting question, says The Joui nal ol the American Medical Associa? tion, the answer to which may throw some light on the manner in which the inited states endeavors to han? dle medical problt nis. As appears from the President s letter of trans mlttal .the Senate passed a resolu? tion requesting the President "to sub? mit to the Senate the results of any Investigation of the Friedmann cure made ci- being made by the American counsul-general in Germany." The Senate probably made this request as the result of the sensational newspaper reports. The President turned the re? quest over to the Secretary of state, who has charge of our foreign affairs, and he in turn submitted the report of the consul-genearl at Berlin, who is there to look alter our business re? lations with Germany. The consul general did all that could be expected ut a layman; he obtained from Dr. Friedmann the information that pa? tients desiring Iiis treatment must spend several weeks in Berlin (where "room ami board may he obtained at the usual prices"); he obtained an opinion on the new remedj from a "local physician," and s? nt copies of Frledmann's address and the discus? sion on it. The fact that patients must go to Berlin for treatment was sufficiently advertised In the dally press; the Herman medical journals containing Frledmann's address ware received by all the leading medical li? braries of tin- Inited States, and by many private subscribers, in Novcm hi 1 . side-lights on the subject were given by the Berlin correspondents of th. American medical Journals. Woui.i it ma have been simpler for the Senate to appeal (through the President if this formality ware nee essary) to the Surgeon-General of the Public Health Service, who was pre sumabl) in possession of all this in? formation several weeks ngo?

Senator Tllliniin Putting up a Hard Fight l<?r ClialrmanHlll|l of Appro? priations Committee, hut not Cer? tain yet 11 t llo Will (.??( It. Washington, March 11.?A hint of opposition t<> President Wilson's ap? pointments came In an executive ses? sion of tin- senate today when Repub? lican .senator.-; Insisted that appoint? ments be acted upon in the senate committees before being taken up for confirmation. As a result, no ap? pointments were confirmed, although those of Daniel C. Etoper, Alexander M. Dockery und James I. Blakeslee, appointed, respectively, us first, third and fourth assistant postmaster gen? eral, were read tor action. The ap? pointments made by President Wilson had been referred to committees yes? terday. When tile Senate Went into executive session today Senator Bank head offered the Dockery appoint? ment for confirmation, Senator Pen rose the IJlakeslee appointment, und Senator Smith of South Carolina the Roper appointment. Senator Town < nd of Michigan asked whether the full committee on postofflces had acted on the appointments. Democratic leaders answered thai the usual custom was being folh wed In reporting the appointments after the lapse of one day without tin for? mality of a committee meeting. As tile result of Senator Townsend's ob? jection the names were at once with? drawn and arrangements made for a committee meeting. Republican sen ators said tonight that there was no purpose on their part to conduct an.v general opposition to Wilson appoint? ments such as the Democrats did to the Taft appointments In the last ses? sion. Today's development, however, has given concern to the Democrats. Senator Kern, the Democratic lead ?r, announced today that the steering committee expected to complete its work on the new senate committees so that the names might be present? ed In full Thursday. The senate was in session but a half hour and adjourned until Thursday at o'clock, it is expected that officers will be elected then and all commit? tees named, and that the senate will be prepared to bring the special ses? sion to an end. The Democratic committee of nine worked throughout the day trying to complete the committee assignments but many Obstacles have been en? countered, particularly In the organ isatlon of the new committee on bank? ing and currency, which Is to take from the finance committee the prob? lems of currency reform. The hard fight that is being made by Senator Tillman for the chairman? ship of the appropriations committee has also been an important factor in delaying the completion of the steer? ing committee s work. Persistent ef? forts have been made to Induce Sena? tor Tillman to give up his claim to this post. It was declared tonight that no definite conclusion had been reached as to wether or not he shall have the chairmanship. How to Get i nil Value Used. of Fertilisers It is well known that the plants take In their food through their roots in solution or dissolved In the soil water. Any practical farmer also knows that given just the ri^ht amount of moisture?neither too lit? tle nor too much and almost all soils will produce well. A soil well tilled with decaying organic matter will hold much more moisture than one deficient In organic matter, in hold? ing the water it holds the plant foods dissolved in the water, and, conse qtteiiMy it no! only holds more water ?o dissolve plant foods to feed the plan's, but prevents the leaching and v:u-itin^ of plant foods. Soils tilled with decaying organic matter, there? fore, maintain better moisture con? ditions for the dissolving of the plant foods In commercial fertilizers. This is why Commercial fertilizers may be economically used in larger quanti ties or give better results on good soils than on poor soils. Good are good because they contain quantities of decaying organic ter and this enables them to the water necessary to dissolve plant foods in commercial fertilizers. Xo matter how much commercial fer? tilizer be applied, if the so 1 is de? ficient in organic matter it soon be? comes deficient in water in dry weather, and in wet weather tie plant foods are dissolved and quick? ly leached from the soil. Right mois? ture conditions are essential to the best results from commercial fertil? izers and right moisture conditions are dependent on the Supply of de caving organic matter in the Boil.?
