After mentioning Mr. Shepard'fl name, the state chairman was asked what his attitude was on certain pub lished criticism of Mr. Shepard's at. trlbuted connection with the American Sugar Refining Company in an ad visory legal capacity. Stimson Given Thrust. "I have heard the criticism.." re plied Mr. Dix. "but has Is occurred to you that Mr. Stimson himself Is not Invulnerable In the same spot? He served In the office of Senator Root, when the Metropolitan Street Railway charter waa drafted." From Mr. Shepard's headquarters came the. following statement: "The statement that Mr. Shepard drew the sugar trust deed Is absolutely with out foundation. It was drawn by John .K Parsons In connection with Ellhu Hoot some years before Mr. Shepard m-as then associated with the late Al bert Stlckney In the firm of Stickney & Shepard.

Mo, Sept. 28. (Spe cial. It leaked out today that last Monday General Frederick Funston, in command at Fort Leavenworth, paid his bill and left Hotel Baltimore in a huff, after serving notice that he did not propose to stop at a hotel which attired Its bellboys In the uniform of a t'nlted States Army captain. It Is also understood that othe Army officers at Fort Leavenworth are In accord with the action taken by General Funston. and that the hotel I question Is to be tabooed by the offl rers until it makes a change In the unl form of Ita bellboys. General Funston today said: "I regret the occurrence because of the undesirable notoriety. Suppose Catholic priest should find a bellboy attired In his robes, how would h take It?

Redskins Taught Lesson They Will Not Soon Forget When They Jeer at Injured "Puncher." PENDLETON. Or.. Sept. IS. (Spe elal.) Staid, sober Pendleton people stood aghast tonight for the first time In the history of the little frontier town. The city has been Invaded. In place of the cltlxens thronging the streets. Pendleton has gone back to Indian days. Indians and cowboys are jostl ing each other on the street and Wild West scenes are being enacted hourly, Cheering, whooping, yelling, the cow boys of the Northwest took charge of Pendleton. They are here for the great frontier festival, the Roundup." which opens tomorrow and which bids fair to surpass thst town famous for such scenes Cheyenne. Trouble started at the roundup grounds today. A heedless cowboy waa thrown from a bucking broncho and the animal tried to dance a tattoo on the recumbent body. This was the signal for some of the bucks camped nearby to Jeer. They Jeered but for one Instant. Before they could move or speak further, the angry mob of cowboys was upon them determined to avenge the Insult and but for the presence of mind of some of the leaders the red men would have been driven out of town at gun point. As it was. the In dians have been taught a lesson and warned by the dark ugly weapons. The Indians win not repeat the error. Tonight Pendleton la thronged with people. Owing to the forethought of the nigh school pupils every prlvste house in the town has been listed and late comers are being billeted, military lasnion. upon me resiaents. with this provision Pendleton Is prepared to care for 6000 more people tomorrow and. according to the statement o Traveling Passenger Agent O'Neil. of the O.

Results Are Noted on Sheep That Feed Under Wires and Those In Adjoining Pastures. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Sept. 28. (Spe cial.) According to - Professor Silas Wentworth, of Los Gatos. his experi ments with electric influence on ani mal and vegetable life at his expert mental farm on the Tyler place, near Roseville, during the past year, have proved the electricity will more than double the lamb crop and greatly In crease the yield of wool. A band of 2000 sheep was divided. one half being placed in a field under the power wires of the Great Western Power Company, while others were kept In a field away from electric In fluences. In the field under the high potential electric power lines, the production of lambs averaged a fraction over two lambs to each ewe. In the adjoining field, where .the electrical Influence is lacking, the lambs averaged less than one to each ewe. Similar differ ences were noted In the yield of wool from sheep In the different fields. Fleeces from sheep In the electric-in fluenced field proved 20 per cent heavier. Preparations are now being made to plow up both fields and plant wheat. The power company will be asked to extend power lines throughout the entire Tyler field, that the Influence of the electric current may be increased. Professor Wentworth believes that the yield of wheat In the Tyler field will i be over 100 per cent heavier than in the adjoining field.

Following Eulogy of Agricultural Colleges Delegate Asks That Farming Be Taught in High Schools for Good of All. PUEBLO. Colo.. Sept. 28. A plea for "diminished littgation and increased conservation" of the water resources of the country was made here today by Judge George H. Hutton. of Los An geles. before the National Irrigation Congress. Discussing the underground flow of California, Mr. Hutton reviewed the great strides made In conserving the flood waters of the Sierras through the establishment of Underground reservoirs end emphasized the need in all irrigation regions for common sense in the appli cation of civil law tifthts In handling the water. He declared that while Im mense benefit has come to California Irrigators through these agencies there are still many problems to be solved by the young men. Government Is Defended. The question or conservation again came before the Irrigation Congress to day when Forester Albert F. Potter spoke on "Segregating of ' Agricultural Lands in the Forest Reserves." "I contend that the Department of Agriculture will drive no one from the United States In search of a home through failure to give men an opportu nlty here," declared Mr. Potter. Opening the afternoon session, James Coegrove. of South Carolina, urged the necessity of the Federal Congress mak lng provision for the drainage of swamp lands In the South for the protection of public health. Professor E. B. House, of the Colo rado Agricultural College, told the dele gates what Is being done to instruct the youth of the Nation and the farmers In the matter of Irrigation. Delegate Untitle Id. of Montana, wanted to know how many fellow delegates were sending their sons to agricultural col leges; how many could afford such I programme, and how many were urging the teaching of agricultural subjects In the high chools. contending that these schools must be the farmers' college. The rights conferred and the duty Im posed by the appropriation of water were the subjects discussed by Governor J. H. Klbbey, of Arizona. W. J. McGee, of Washington, read a technical paper on "The Importance of Water In Agriculture." Francis Cuttle, of "California, briefly dlscureed the achievements in that state In the conservation of floodwaters. "Irrigation and the Sugar Beet In dustry," was discussed by Aaron Grove, of Colorado. "If you want a country where you need not worry about the water supply, a climate that Is healthful and sunshine almost continual, come to Colorado and the western elope," was the admonition of State Senator Horace T. DeLong In addressing the Congress on "Western Colorado." Panama Fairs Invite Congress. In the afternoon a telegram was read from San Diego, Cal.. calling attention of the Congress to the proposed Panama-Pacific Exposition for 1915 and invit ing the Congress to meet there that year. The case of New Orleans and ita pro posed Panama exposition was presented by a telegram containing the form' of a resolution Indorsing the exposition Idea and asking approval by the congress. This resolution was referred to the com mittee. Reno, Nev.. In a telegram Ret forth the hotel accommodations of that city In urging Its claims for the 1!11 congress. The morning session was devoted to discussion of "water equities" in its various phases. Chicago. Los Angeles and Keno are strong contestants for the honor of en tertaining the 1911 congress. The address of W. K. Kavanaugh. president of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association, read be fore the Irrigation Congress by W. J. McGee, emphasized the unity of waters for Irrigation and navigation: the ne cessity for protection of headwaters of all streams and control of the floods. California was given five minutes to present the proposed Panama-Racine Exposition, and urge the congress to Indorse the claims of San Francisco. By agreement the resolution of indorse ment was referred to me resolution committee. Clash Conies on Conservation. The narTOwing of the battle lines be tween advocates of state and Federal control of water to sub-committees of the general resolutions committee; a heated colloquy between California del egates over this policy and involving the conservation commission appointed by Governor Gillett and the recent po litical primaries, enlivened today's pro ceedings. The California clash. came In the dis cussion of the paper prepared by Frank H. Short, of that state, in which he advocated state control of water-power sites. Frsncis Cuttle, of Riverside. who led the opposition, charged the state conservation commission with at- teniDtlnz- to throw the state's natural resources under state control for the benefit of the big power companies, lauded the results of the recent pri maries as a declaration of lndepend- enc of California voters from the dom inatlon of corporation Influences, and urged the delegates to hold fast to the protection now enjoyed by tnem through Federal supervision of Inter state waters. Former Governor Alva Adams, of Colorado, deplored the fact that Call fornia, "being so corrupt and unable to control its own affairs, should ask that other states, which could manage their own business, should submit to a continuance of Federal control." The Laak of a Flead would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper, of Oswego, N. Y.. as a mer- lless lung-racking couth that defied all remedies for years. "It was most troublesome at night," he writes, "noth fhr helped me till I used Dr. Klnar'a New Discovery which cured ms com- etely. I never cough at night now." Illlons know its matchless merit for tubborn colds, obstinate co-jRhs. sore lungs, lagrlppe. asthma, hemorrhage. croup, whooping cough, or hay fever. It relieves quickly and never falls to satisfy.

"and her senti ments were expressed in the recent primary election, in which she declared for Theodore Roosevelt, for Gifford Pinchot and for good-bye Balllnger." F. C. FInkle declared that Cuttle and Smythe did not represent the senti ments of the California people, but reserved further remarks until tomor row, when Gifford Pinchot will attend the congress. "As I want Mr. Pinchot to hear what I have to say." Resolutions were presented and re fefrred to the committee, as follows: B. W. S.
