CHAFIN TO LEAD FIGHT ON RUM Prohibitionists Also Nominate Same Running Mate. Offer lu Make Large Contribution If Party Will Adopt New Name la Shouted Down. Atlantic City, N. J.—The National Prohibition convention concluded ita labors here Saturday with the nomina­ tion of the party atandard bearers of four yeare ago Eugene W. Chafin, of Arizona, for preaident, and Aaron S. Watkina, of Ohio, for vice preaident. In each caae the nomination waa made by acclamation after a aingle ballot had indicated the preference of the delegatee. Four candidates for preaident were placed In nomination againat Mr. Cha­ fin. They were F. W Emerson, of California; Finley C. Hendrickaen, Kt t.K.NK w. «il Ar IN. of Maryland; Aaron S. Watkina, of Ohio, and Andrew J. Houston,'of Tex- aa. Each in turn withdrew hie name after the first ballot. The leading candidatea againat Mr. Watkina for vice preeident were Mr. Emereon, of California and George E. Stockwell, of New York. Mr. Chafin, addreeaing the convention, promised not to stand for a third nomination. Because of a ruah to adjourn, the plan to change the name of the party waa not taken up for general discussion. A. J. Orem, of Maaaachuaetta, in a brief apeech, promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed. “1 believe We could make the' cam­ paign doubly effective if we ahould adopt a new name," aaid Mr. Orem.

Under the bill, the Federal government would disburse about $8,000,000 a year to the 10,000 commissioned office re and the 112,000 enliated men of the Na* tional Guard. The secretary of war and the militia boards of the state would be authorized to cooperate. LORIMER FIGHTS BACK. Makes Vigorous Attack Upon Enemies Before Senate. Waahington, D. C.—Senator Lori­ mor Friday began hie speech defend- [ ing hie right to his seat. He followed Henator Reed of Miseouri, who had made a bitter attack upon aim and hie election by the Illinois legislature. The senate chamber filled up slowly under the call for a quorum, but only Ml senators answered to their names. The senate galleries were not half filled. Ao Henator Ixirimur began his speech, he read from manuscript and his voice was for the first few sen­ tences somewhat indistinct. He de­ clared that he proposed to give the senate an insight into the character of the men who, he aaid, had tried to ruin him. "It is true that the senate has the right to deny me a seat in thio body," he began, "on the flimsiest pretext or on no pretext at all. I intend to show that no vote cast for me was influ­ enced by fraud. "Mr. President," he said in meas­ ured tones, "thio is no joke. This Io a solemn and seriods question. If the senate decides to follow the views of the minority of thio investigating committee, it will be travesty on civ­ ilised jurisprudence, a mockery of jus­ tice. It will be a declaration that the senate has decided to follow the red flag; that it has become the advocate of anarchy; has adopted the doctrine of the recall as advocated by Its arch chumpioa." Senator Ixtrlmar departed from bis manuscript for a moment to refer to the Chicago newspapers. He de­ clared certain of the newspaper own­ ers and publishers there would be in prison If the public prosecutors had been uctive. Finally he discarded hie manuscript and took a place in the center aisle from which he could be heard on both sides of the chamber. Senator Lorimer charged that while the Tribune property was worth from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000, it paid taxes on only $420,000. He called these newspapers "robbers of the pub­ lic treasury of Chicago." He at­ tacked Victor l.awson of the News, and charged that the News occupied school land at a rental of $1 a square foot and paid no taxes, while less val­ uable land across the street rented for $3.60 a foot. Mr. Ix>rimer charged that Mr. Law- son had secured unlawful reductions in taxes upon his home and business property and added that Mr. Lawson was trying to drive him out of public life. Mr. Ixtrimer declared that erroneous statements had been sent out to the world by the newspaper agencies. He referred to what he termed the control of news sources by Victor Lawson, Melville E. Stone and Frank B. Noyes, who formerly ran the Rec­ ord-Herald for Mr. Lawson. Quoting Mr. Taft's letter to Colonel Roosevelt in which the president ex­ pressed the belief that Iorimer should be ousted, Lorimer complained of his treatment by Mr. Taft. "I have no ill will or bitterness in my heart toward any senator who voted against me in the last conrgess, but it does hurt me that 1 should have been tried by the president or the ex­ president of the United States, ” he said bitterly.

Professor Shows How to one being unwilling that his neigh­ Teach Per Cent Problems. bors’ old white cows should test higher That school teachers, especially those In rural districts, can make the sub­ ject of percentage easier and more in­ teresting to their pupils by using problems on the application of the Babcock milk test was shown to the teachers attending the summer session at the Oregon Agricultural college in a lecture by Prof. F. L. Kent, of the dairy department. He first gave a demonstration of the test, that all might understand iu workings clearly. "The Babcock test baa done more to revolutionise dairying than any other one thing in a quarter of a century," aaid Prof. Kent in introduction. "With it and the cream separator, dairying has been put on a very different basis than before. In nearly all the discus­ sions of milk and its handling you hear something of the fat content, and the Babcock test is the one commonly used to find this content. The man who supplies milk to a retailer does so under the Babcock test. "The test bottle in which the sam­ ple of milk is measured holds an ounce and a half, and has a graduated scale on the long neck to aid in reading the fat content. There are two sources of error, some bottles being incorrectly grad­ uated on this scale, and some being inaccurate in site. A definite quan­ tity of milk must be taken to make the test, and a pipette (a glass tube larger in the middle, and graduated) is used to suck up the sample from the container. The milk to be tested is poured from one cup to another sever­ al times, to make sure that it is of an even quality throughout, and has no cream standing on top. "A third glass measure is used to measure the acid necessary for the test. These three pieces of glass and the centrifugal motion whirler make up the outfit for the test. Since the glassware is unpatented, it is all practically the same, but the machines for whirling the bottles are of differ­ ent types. "The pipette takes up 18 grams, or 16.6 cubic millimeters of milk, which is put into the teat bottle. Then com­ mercial sulphuric acid is added, to about the same quantity as the milk, to dissolve ail the ingredients of the milk except the fat. setting that free so that it can rise into the neck of the bottle. The milk and acid are mixed by a rotary motion of the bottle to get a uniform color, a rich, dark brown, so that the acid may act on all the milk. "After the test bottles are put into the whirler they are in motion about five minutea. Jersey milk generally runs as much as 50 per cent higher in fat content than the Holstein. The Ayrshire has a medium fat content of 3.5 to 4 per cent. The Holstein has about 3 per cent as a rule. When the test bottle is taken from the whirler, enough hot water is added to allow the fat to rise well up in the tube, and the sample is whirled again. When it is taken out finally, the fat shows in a clear yellow band in the neck of the bottle. The best way of measuring it accurately is by measuring with a pair of dividers the band of fat, then putting one leg of the dividers on xero, and the upper leg will indicate the precise per cent of fat content of the milk in each 18 grams. "The Babcock test is being used as one of the regular demonstrations in schools where agriculture is being in­ troduced. Teachers can get accurate glassware by having it tested by the state experiment station, or by 'insist­ ing that the manufacturers guarantee the goods. It should be pointed out that one source of errors in the test is in the taking of the sample. Wheri taken with a spoon from the top of a pan after the milk has stood, the fat content will be inordinately high. “The Babcock test is one of the best ways of teaching perenentage in arithmetic classes. For example, if a cow produces 56 pounds of milk a day, which tests 2.6 per cent, her produc­ tion is 1 456 pounds of fat a day. If a cow gives 42 pounds, but the test is 3.5 per cent, she will give 1.47 pounds of fat. Carrying the problem out by means of daily records to the end of the month, a cow producing 725 pounds in a month with a test of 3.5 per cent, will give 25.375 pounds of fat a month. Or, a cow giving 42 [xiunds n day, produces 1,260 pounds a month, which, at a test of .035, gives 44.1 pounds of fat a month. The problems may further be elaborated by finding the gain in dollars, suppos­ ing the value of the butter fat on the market to be, say, 27 cents a pound. By using the cost of feed and other items, further complications and vari­ ations of the problems can be made. "These problems will help, no doubt, in moulding the attitude of the parents toward the school and the common branches—a farmer sees more ‘sense’ in a study which has evident Kisses and Kisses. In Wellesley slang, a kiss adminis­ tered by a man is a "dewdab." If the mixed kiss is so short, perky and inconsequential a thing as dewdab sounds’, what foolish word have they for the all-feminine osculation? REBELS DEFEATED, Portuguese Regulars Twice Returning Royalists. Whip Lisbon — Royalist rebels captured Caldeciras de Basto and tbe Portu­ guese government troops immediately prepared to bombard tbe town. The Monarchists, commanded by Homom Christo, penetrated Portugal from Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain. The Royalists had played a ruse on tbe Republican troope, but in the end it cost them dearly. While being pursued to Montalegre, in Province Traz-as-Montes, they returned to Chaves, and arriving unsuspected by the Republicans, bombarded the city with their newly-acquired artillery bombs. The Republican troope later diacovering that the Royalists had doubled on their course, hastened back to defend the town. The attacking rebel force consisted of two united bands. After a battle which lasted three houra the Royalists retreated slowly and finally disap­ peared into tbe mountains. Tbe Re­ publican loss included two officers. The news of the victory was re­ ceived with cheers in the chamber of deputies, and a law waa passed at once authorizing tbe government to suspend the constitutional guarantees wherever necessary to extend the state of siege to the district of Cilla Real. . Other 'bills adopted to provide for the passing of summary judgment on persons accused of sedition or rebel­ lion by military tribunals, and for pensions to families of soldiers "dy­ ing for tbe republic." Many of the inhabitants in disturb­ ed districts display open sympathy with the Royalists, but the army and navy remain loyal. The belief is gen­ eral that unless there are defections among the military the monarchist in­ cursions cannot be successful. than the heifer he raised himself. Thus such an application of the Bab­ cock test may not only interest the boys and keep them in school longer, but may benefit the whole community. "Nearly all of our farm dairies of any site keep a milk or cream separa­ tor, and the cream is, for the most part, sold to the creameries and cheese factories. The injustice of paying all farmers alike for the same weight of milk or cream, is evident when one remembers that 100 pounds of cream testing 20 per cent means but 20 pounds of fat, while 100 pounds testing 45 per cent means 45 pounds of fat. Holstein milk is gen­ erally about 8.4 per cent butter fat, and Jersey 5.5 per cent." Prof. Kent then explained the prin­ ciples of the cream separator, and shiiwed how it saved the washing of the large number of pans necessary where the cream is allowed to rise and skimmed, and how the amount of cream taken from the milk may be regulated accurately by tbe turn of a screw. He showed bow milk testing 5.5 fat content can be separated from a part of the cream and still be better milk than that testing 3.6 per cent which is allowed to keep all ita cream, since milk of a higher test also con­ tains more of the other solids besides fat. "The question of how many cows one ahould have to make it advisable to keep a separator is’a mooted one. RACING AUTO WRECKED.

Stockholm, July 11.—The finals in six events were completed at the Olympic today and of tbe 36 points tbe United States scored 13, England 6, Germany 6, Canada 3, Australia, 3, Finland 3 and France 2. Tbe United States and Germany had the honor of making a clean sweep in the weight-putting and 200 meters swimming, back stroke, respectively. England won the greatest race of the Olympic so far —the 1600-meter run, in which the Oxonian, Jackson, broke the record by more than six seconds. Finland won the 5000 meters in a splendid struggle against France, while the Canadian, Hodgson, brought glory to the Dominion by his victory in the 1500-meter swimming contest in which he hung up three records. Perhaps never before have there been two such contests as the 5000- meter and 1500-meter runs on tbe same day. In the latter it was a gruelling con­ test from start to finish. Abel R. Kiviat and Norman S. Taber, tbe American representatives, came into the stretch together. Jackson all tbe way round tbe last lap went at a ter­ rific pace, passing the four men in or­ der to get up with the leaders. With Kiviat slightly in advance ten yards from the tape, Jackson fairly leaped ahead and fell exhausted in to tbe arms of bis friends. So close was tbe race for second place between Kiviat and Taber the judges reserved their decision until a photograph of the fin­ ish was developed before announcing second and third man. This Olympic is proving that Great Britain and the United States must waive their traditional monopoly of field sports since other nationalities have set themselves seriously to dem­ onstrate that they are possessed of as much muscle and endurance as the pioneers in field athletics. ROOSEVELT PLANS FUSION. War Map Prepared Showing Party Strength in Each State. Oyster Bay, N.

"In certain districts,” said Colonel Roosevelt, "the Republican nomina­ tions will be captured for progressives who will support our candidates for electors.
