WILL TRY TO GET
j THAW OUT OF JAIL
Counsel Announce They Have
Decided to Ask for His
Release.
JEROME TO OPPOSE MOVE
District Attorney Denies Offering
to Compromise on Insanity Plea.
Intends to Stick to First
Degree Murder Charge.
NEW YORK, April 13. Setting at rest
all rumors as to their present intentions,
A. Russell Peabody. associated with Del
phln M. Dolmas, chief counsel for Harry
K. Thaw, said today, after a conference
with the prisoner, that an application for
.Thaw's release on bail would be made. Ha
declined to go Into details regarding -this
action. There were various rumors that
habeas corpus proceedings might be
brougrht. The Thaw family stands ready
to furnish ball in almost any amount.
' District Attorney Jerome announced
that he would make a strong fight against
the granting of bail to Thaw and added
that he intended to prosecute him for
murder in the first degree, this assertion
coming in reply to a report that he had
compromised with the defendant's coun
sel on a plea of insanity and would agree
to send Thaw to Matteawan.
The next interesting development came
when Mr. Peabody left Thaw after a
later visit and said in reply to questions
as to stories that Thaw had changed his
counsel:
"Mr. Thaw authorizes me to say that
thus far he has made no change of coun
sel. You may say that as emphatically as
you please. Of course we don't know
what will happen next week."
"How does Thaw take the situation?"
the lawyer was asked. .
"He 1b much distressed and feels badly,"
Mr. Peabody replied. Asked as to the
programme for next week, he said:
"We have no fixed programme. Monday
we shall, decide what Is best to be done."
Mr. Delmas held a long conference with
Thaw today and -Mrs. Thaw saw her hus
band during the visiting hours.
Altogether Thaw spent a quiet day. The
Influx of mail at all deliveries which has
kept Thaw busy since he first went to a
cell, has diminished somewhat. Mrs. Har
ry K. Thaw was somewhat wan and worn
when she appeared at the Tombs today,
but seemed in good spirits. Other mem
bers of the Thaw family remained at
their hotel.
Apparently the strain had been too se
vere upon Mrs. Thaw, for she broke
down completely when taking leave of her
husband and left the TombB convulsed
with sobs and weeping.
One of the important developments of
the day was the publication of a letter
written by Howard Nesblt to Harry
Thaw, in which the writer deplores the
fact that he was so bitter against his
sister from the start, and tries to make
amends by calling Thaw a hero. Young'
Nesblt explains how he happened to
change his views, which at first were de
cidedly against his sister, but under the
chastening influence of the trial have be.
come strongly in her favor.
It was learned today that a fisticuff
was narrowly averted between two of the
Jurors, but that the disagreement was
patched up later, just at the moment
when the belligerents were ready to re
sort to physical chastisement as the
means of settling their differences.
Howard Nesblt's sudden change ' of
mind, according to the letter he wrote
to Harry Thaw, is due to the fact that
he tried to borrow $100 from Mrs. Thaw
to liquidate debts Incurred in New York,
and failing in this, he appealed to Thaw
himself for the .money. .

WORK IS VERY EFFECTIVE
Farmers. Institutes Give Best Aid.
Says Dr. vithycombe.
CORVALLIS, April 9. (To the Editor.)
"Your editorial In yesterday's issue. "Teach-
1"S Agriculture at the Farm," contains val-
uable suKgetttlons, but the Implied criticism
ot the Farmers' Institute as a medium for
agricultural education Is, I believe, based
upon a misapprehension of facts. First,
there in no appreciable waste of time in
"welcoming addresses, responses and re
marks by prominent cltisens." It Is true
that where printed 'programmes are used,
'welcoming or opening; addresses are sched
uled, but rarely does one of these occupy
five minutes of time. The Institutes, so far
as possible, are made Intensely practical,
and I assure you there are but few dull
momenta, as I think any unbiased visitor
will readily concede. A traveling instructor
might be a succeHa In districts where agri
cultural Industries are specialised, such aa
dairying and horticultural sections; but for
the average farmer this system will never
equal In efficiency the regularly organised
farmers' Institute.
This Is an age of specialisation. The
strongest and most effective teacher Is a
specialist. One who attempts to teach
many subjects is usually not strong in any,
and frequently, woak in all. A traveling
Instructor might be an authority on the
construction of dairy barns and the feeding
of cows, but a an adviser to the orchard! eft
the same expert would probably be & dismal
failure.
From an economical standpoint the Insti
tute will prove to be far superior. There
are approximately 40,000 farms In Oregon.
A traveling Instructor would do well to visit
and advise an average of six farmers per
day for every working day In the year.
Thus he -would be enabled to reach 1878
farms In the year. At this rate it would re
quire twenty-one years for a single traveling
instructor to visit each farm in Oregon.
Another weak feature In the system is
that th farmer simply gets the opinion of
one man, while at an Institute he not only
receives the benefit of the experience of the
specialists present, but frequently that of a
doxen or twenty successful farmers.
For the year ending June 30, l!H6, the
Agricultural College assisted in 44 farmers'
Institutes. The total- attendance at these
Institutes was 16,350 persons, and fully 75
per cent of these were farmers and their
families. These institutes cost the State
$ 1.174.73. which Is leas than the annual
salary would be for a traveling Instructor,
leaving out the Item of traveling expenses
entirely. At each of these Institutes there
.were at least four and often five specialists
an agriculturist, horticulturist, dairyman,
horseman and occasionally a chemist. But
little time of the institute is consumed in
making addressee The specialist presents
his subject briefly and then the matter is
open for discussion. Thee discussions often
take a wide range and are intensely Inter
esting to the farmer. In fact It Is difficult
to conceive how any system of education for
the farmer can be made more practical or
beneficial to his Immediate Interests.
The institute Is also the very best means
the college has for Introducing reforms in
agricultural practices. The principal re
forms In agricultural practice in the west
ern portion of the State have thus been
Initiated by the agricultural college. Among
these may be rrtentloned the development of
the dairy industry. About twelve years ago
my predecessor. Professor H. T. French, be
gan to advocate dairying at farmer insti
tutes" throughout the State. A few years
later the Southern Pacific Railroad, through
its representatives, O. H. Markham and H.
K. Lounsbury, co-operated with the college
in conducting a vigorous campaign of edu
cation among the farmers. &pecisfl dairy
meetings were held In almost every town,
village and .rural schoolhouse In Western
Oregon. The result of this work at present
is plainly manifest. When the college
through the Farmers Institute began to
encourage dairying the annual output of
the Industry In this State was small, now
it has reached an annual value of over ten
million dollars. Of course there are other
factors which should be recognized in this
development, such as the increased de
mand for dairy products resultant -from the
growth of our cities. The smaller yields of
cereals and shrunken values have influenced
the farmer to give more attention to dairy
ing. Other reforms which have been pro
moted through the agency of these insti
tutes may be mentioned. When the Agri
cultural College began to advocate the
growing of vetch this plant was almost un
known to the farmers of this State. At
the present time thousands of acres are
grown, producing annually hundreds of
thousands of tons of the most valuable hay
and, what is vastly more important, adding
untold fertility to our depleted wheat lands.
A few years ao the college through the
Institute began a vigorous campaign against
the bare summer fallow in Western- Oregon,
with the result that at present in this sec
tion, in place of the bare fallow we see
thousands of acres of clover, vetch and al
falfa. Some six years ago the college
demonstrated that alfalfa could be success
fully grown in Western Oregon. A discus
sion of alfalfa-growing was made a promi
nent feature of the Institute work; and last
season, through the Influence of Hon. W. W.
Cotton, the Southern Pacific co-operated
.with the college in this work, with the re
sult that the Experiment Station shipped
out 80 tons of inoculated alfalfa soil to 248
growers who are growing this forage plant
for the first time. The railroad company
transported this soli free of charge.
The past few years the institute staff hasj
been encouraging farmers to grow thousand
headed kale for Winter succulent feed, with
the result, it la safe to say, that there are
a hundred farmers growing this forage
plant at present where there was but one
before the subject was presented at the
institutes.
The college at the present is making a
vigorous campaign, through the institute, In
behalf of horticulture. Oregon, without
doubt, has the largest and most Important
undeveloped field for horticulture of any
State In the TTnlon.
Farmers institutes are the very best
means we have for bringing the farmers
into closer touch with the work of the
Agricultural College and Experiment Sta
tion. As an evidence of this the director
of the station last year dictated 3500 letters
o correspondents asking information upon
various agricultural topics. The other de
partments of the Experiment Station would
probably aggregate a similar number. Thus
the station sent out 7OO0 letters of Informa
tion. In addition to this, 4,000 bulletins
have been distributed. This plainly indi
cates that the Experiment Station Is an im
portant bureau of information for the
farmer.
The Agricultural College has ' received
much notice lately from the press, and our
Grange friends principally, relating to the
contemplated change in the presidency of
the institution. In (practically all of these
notices there is a painful want of apprecia
tion of the great work that President Oatch
has done for the ".Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and indirectly the whole State of Ore
gon, Under his splendid administration the
attendance has increased 261 per cent.
There is probably no agricultural college In
the- United States, that has jnade such a
phenomenal growth. At the same time,
under President Gatch'a guiding hand, the
work of the school has steadily assumed a
higher standard of efficiency.
The criticism that agriculture 1b not
recognised as It should be is without foun
dation. In fact, this college will probably
graduate the largest class In agriculture
this year , of any State In the Union in pro
portion to population.
In yesterday's Oregonian a friend from
Washington was heard from. He seemed to
deplore' the fact that Washington and Ore
gon have not the strong men they should
have in their agriculture colleges. How far
this condition exists at Pullman I am un
prepared to say, but I can say for the bene
fit of Mr. Paulhaxnus that there is not an
experiment station in the United State
which has a more competent set of men
than the Oregon Experiment Station has In
Cordley, Lake, Knlsety, Lewis, Pernot and
Kent. Let the State of Oregon support
these men financially as the States men
tioned by Mr. Paulhamus do their men in
similar departments and their reputations
would equal those of workers In the more
prominent Institutions of the East.
I apologise for Intrenching so extensively
on- the Oregonlan's valuable space. We
heartily appreciate the cordial support you
have given our work In the past and neither
ask nor expect unmerited favors, but hope
you will give credit where credit is due.

FOUR FINE CHURCH ORGANS
All of Same Make and All Ordered
From Same Firm.
One of the best indications that
church matters are in a highly satis
factory condition is Indicated by the
numerous orders for organs which are
being: received at the present time by
the Portland headquarters of the Eilers
Piano House. The churches through
out the entire Northwest are splendid
ly prosperous, and this prosperity Is
not confined to any one section or even
state. Within a very recent time the
First M. E. Church of Hoquiam, Wash.,
Rev. E. L. Benedict, pastor; First Pres
byterian Church, Rev. James A. Lau
rie, pastor, also of Hoquiam: First M.
E. Church of Lewlston, Idaho, Rev.
Euster, pastor, and the First M. B.
Church of Pendleton, Or., Rev. Robert
Warner, pastor, have all placed orders
for. the celebrated Kimball Duplex
Tubular Pneumatic Pipe Organs, all
large two-manual and pedal-base style,
to be specially designed in keeping
with the architectural characteristics
of the church interiors. These organs
are not only adapted for the usual
church services, but are entirely ade
quate for the most artistic and finished
recitals.
Eilers Piano House are recognized
as the leading church organ dealers
throughout the West, and will be
pleased to furnish estimates, and to
send a representative, if necessary, to
supply all desired Information- to any
church contemplating a new organ.

CONFER ON PEACE
Presidents of Nicaragua and

TROOPS TO QUIT AMAPALA
New Government of Honduras WlU

1ends Warships to Peace
Conferees at Amapala.
WASHINGTON, April 13. The Navy
Department today received from Com
mander Doyle, of the United States
gunboat Chicago, which Is in Pacino
waters off Central' America, a dispatch
relative to plans for a conference be
tween Presidents Zelaya, of Nicaragua,
and Figero, of Salvador. As soon
as tho dispatch was received It was
sent to the State Department and there
followed a long conference between
Secretary Bacon and Minister Corea, of
Nicaragua Information had been re
ceived previously from Philip Brown,
Secretary of the United States leiM-tion
at Guatemala, who has been negotiat
ing between Nicaragua and Salvador,
and who finally secured the consent of
President Figero . to meet President
Zelaya This dispatch left rather a
hazy Impression as to the representa
tion Honduras is to have at the con
ference. "-
Commander Doyle made It clear that
General Sierra of the Honduran provi
sional government Is to be commandant
of Amapala. The conference between
Presidents Zelaya and Figero will take
place at Amapala or on board a United
States gunboat to be anchored at Ama
pala The fact that a Honduran general,
who wu not only a revolutionist but one
of the candidates of the revolutionists for
the presidency against Bonilla, is to be in
command at Amapala during the confer
ence Is regarded here as a partial recogni
tion of the provisional government. u
this proves true, a settlement of the dis
pute, it Is believed, will be easily accom
plished. When the Doyle dispatch was sent,
Amapala had not yet completed Its
surrender. Commander Doyle estimat
ed that It would require about four
days to accomplish it.- The, Salvadoran
troops In Amapala, It has been agreed,
should embark for La Union, Salvador,
taking with them all officers, private
property and side arms.
President Bonilla had not yet

e Spanton Co. The Jacobs-Stine Co,
reached the Chicago when Commander
Doyle sent his dispatch, but It was
stated that the President was expected
and that he would be taken to some
port outside of Central America. Presi
dent Zelaya demanded that Bonilla be
not permitted to land in Salvador, for
fear that ho would organize a force
against Nicaragua and continue tho
fighting. It was said further that ar
rangements are now being made for
the election of a constitutional Presi
dent In Honduras.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 13. Central

MONARCHISTS ARE SPLIT
REVOLT AGAINST FACTION
WHICH INCITES MURDER.
Moderate Conservatives Break From
Assassins In Russian Douma.
Non-Members Exclnded.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 13. There
has come a split in the Right party,
which has broken the Monarchist
group, due to the revolt of the serious
minded Conservatives against the fire
brand tactics of the fanatical Reac
tionaries, whose organization, the
League of Russian Men, is utterly dis
credited by the murders of Dr. Jollos
and M. Hertzensteln, and attempts to
organize Jewish excesses.
Count Bobrinsky, whose patriotism
and sincerity are unquestioned. Is now
left unhampered in the leadership of
the Conservative wing, and the insig
nificant size of the Reactionary group
makes It easy to put an end to the
pernicious activities of M. Krushevan
and M. Purisbkevlch, whose, sole Ideas
are to break up the lower house at any
cost.
In spite of the dispute concerning the
competence of the Douma and the ill
advised demand for the suspension of
certain Social Democratic members, the
week has brought a considerable Im
provement in the relations between
the Premier and the House, and an
Immediate dissolution is no longer
feared.
