HAVEH REVELATION BRINGS PROBE OF MORE RAILROADS

New York Central Road Likely to Be First to Come Under Spotlight of Federal Publicity. BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON. May 23. Revelations by Charles S. Mellen as to the financial practices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad have caused the interstate commerce commission to consider an investigation of other large railroad systems. It was learned today that if the commission decided to thrust its probe into other systems the New York Central is likely to be the first to come under the spotlight of publicity. Chief counsel Folk of the commission said today: "I think that an investigation of the New York Central would result in disclosures as great as those made in connection with the New Haven." Senator Norris of Nebraska, who introduced the resolution on which the :New Haven investigation was based, Is considering the introduction of a similar measure in connection with the New York Central. Accept No Excuses. Nsither physicians' certificates of v Illness nor any other excuses will be 'accepted by Solicitor Folk for the non'anpearance of Wm. Rockefeller and otfcer directors of the New Haven under subpoena to appear in the commission's New Haven investigation. Solicitor Folk stated today. "If Mr. Rockefeller is able to attend to New Haven directors' meetings, as it appears he has done in the last few days, he is sufficiently improved in health to appear in Washington," said Folk. Under present conditions the chief counsel said, Wm. Rockefeller, George MacCullough Miller, Samuel C. More house and H. M. Kochereperger whom Folk described as constituting the sick list, will have to testify "or suffer the consequences." Folk intimated that contempt proceedings might be Instituted. Mr. Miller's ailment, ac cording to Folk, seems to be senility and Samuel C. Morehouse and II. M, Kochereperger are suffering from nervous prostration. Devere II. Warner, a New Haven director, will be one of the next witnesses to be heard. He expects to bring out that many directors had so little interest in the matters before the board that they used the time consumed by directors' meetings to slip i.i forty or more winks. Folk feels that the directors knew that any protect they might have made, had they given close attention to the proceedings, would have been Useless in view of the fact that Morgan and other higlier-ups shaped the policies usually formulated by the directors. It is net unlikely that more may be heard from Mellen. In the event that some of the next witnesses to be heard make statements involving him in matters concerning which he has not testified, he may be recalled.

AWARD SCHOLARSHIP TO WESLEY HOWARD

Wesley Howard, the remarkable young Richmond violinist, a colored boy, a few days ago was unexpectedly called before the director of the famous Boston Conservatory of Music, G. W. Chadwick, and was told to play two very difficult composition on which he had received but two lessons. So excellent was Howard's performance that at is conclusion Mr. Chadwick exclaimed enthusiastically: "You tell your folks when you go home that we will give you the scholarship in violin, and we are glad to do so." Howard's scholarship is the second ever given a private student in America's most celebrated school of music. His instructors and Mr. Chadwick believe that with a little more training he will become one of the world's greatest violin masters. He has been a student at the Boston conservatory since last fall and has made remarkable progress. Howard's tuition fee at the conservatory was raised at a public entertainment held in Richmond last year, which was more largely attended than any concert held that year. During the time he has been attending the conservatory he has made his living playing in a restaurant orchestra. Howard is a poor boy and but for the public benefit given last year he would not have been able to attend the conservatory. He has written Prof. John Thompson of the high school that he will return to Richmond June 1. choice heavy steers $8.508.S5, light steers $6.757.50, heifers $7.508.50, cows $6.007.50, bulls $6.757.25, calves $5.0010.00.

LONDON, May 23. The police carried their war against militant suffragetes into the enemy's camp today by raiding the headquarters of the Women's Social and Political union at Kingsway house.

Leading officers of the organization were arrested and books and documents showing the activities of the militants were seized. The raid is believed to be the first step in a campaign ordered by the government to crush the militants. No opportunity was given the suffraget leaders to escape. The building was surrounded by a large force of policemen and every means of exit was carefully guarded. While the police were searching for the documents and books that will be used as evidenece against the suffragets they held their prisoners in the building. Detectives Remain Silent. Telephone calls to the headquarters were answered by detectives who refused to give any information as to what was transpiring. Reporters who approached the building were turned back Freda Graham, the suffraget who raided the National Art uallerv yesterday, struggled like a maniac today when arraigned in the Bow street police court. She reviled the magistrate, shrieking, "You dog," and continually interrupted the witnesses against her. When she was committed for trial she refused to leave the court room, and had to be carried out, still crying defiance. Officials of the National galleries reported that the pictures could be repaired for $750. "That's too bad," cried the raging prisoner. "I wish I had ruined them." COUNTY MEETING OF S. S.

Circular letters relative to alfalfa growing have been sent to many farm ers of Wayne county by the Indiana Corn Growers' association. These are being used for the promotion of the alfalfa automobile tour of the county which County Agent Cobb will direct June 2 and 3. The letter follows: "Have you a field of alfalfa? If not. why not? "The census of 1910 reports alfalfa grown in every county In Indiana. The total average for the state is given as 17,893 acres, with a yield of 40,320 tons. "Alfalfa Is, therefore, being grown in all parts of Indiana, and all types of soil hill land, marsh land, sandy land, prairie land and bottom land. Ten Reasons Why You Failed. "Have you tried alfalfa and failed? "Perhaps your land is wet. Alfalfa has a long root and it won't grow in water. Land should be drained not less than three feet deep. "Perhaps your land is sour. Alfalfa needs sweet soil. "Perhaps your land is poor in ferSEEKS NEW HORSES NOT LIFE PARTNER BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON, May 23. "I have not thought of marrying. Can not a girl take a trip east to buy horses without the thought of a husband? This was the reply today of Miss Helen Morton, Chicago heiress, to rumors that she had come east to elope with Roger Clay Bailey, Jr., a Virginia horseman. Miss Morton was located at the country place of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neer, twenty miles from Warrentown, Va. When told that she was reported to have disappeared mysteriously and her parents were worried about her, she said: "That's silly. My parents know I am going to visit a friend in New Jersey. I have wired father and moth er, though, and everything now is all right." CARNEGIE FEARS GOD SAYS HIS MINISTER BY LEASED WIRE CHICAGO, May 23. Rev. W. P. Merrill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, at today's session of the Presbyterian General Assembly vigorously denied charges made by Rev. T. S. Clyce before the Methodist conference at Oklahoma City that Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate, is an atheist. Mrs. Carnegie and her daughter, Miss Margaret, are members of Rev. Merrill's congregation. Rev. Clyce, who is president of the Austin college at Sherman, Texas, charged that Mrs. Carnegie was an "absolute atheist for whom all ecclesiastical connections must be severed if one hopes to get even a pipe organ from him." "The charge is absolutely unfounded and untrue" declared Rev. Merrill during an informal discussion at today's session of the Assembly. Mr. Carnegie is not an atheist. He is a man of strong religious instincts, and, although he is not a member of any denomination I have the highest regard for him. He is no more an 'athe ist than I am." "Z - "-: To Invade Mexico. Another invasion of Mexico was an nounced at the meeting today. The in vaders will have to carry Bibles instead of guns, according to John Fox, of the American Bible society. "We are going to send thousands of Bibles to Mexico and distribute them aitong the people" he declared. The special committee on Sabbath observance, in its report today asked the elimination of all class work and recitations in the presbyterian educational institutions on Monday. The report said that students are tempted to work on Sunday in preparation of their class work Monday morning and for that reason it is deemed advisable to do away with the recitations. An attempt by T. S. McWilliams of Cleveland to introduce a resolution endorsing President Wilson's policy of "watchful waiting" in the Mexican situation was squashed by moderator Alexander. It was declared out of order.

tllity. Alfalfa needs soil well supplied with available plant food and plenty of organic matter. "Perhaps you did not inoculate. In most cases alfalfa needs Inoculation. "Perhaps you did not have a well prepared seed bed. Alfalfa must have a good seed bed. "Perhaps you did not sow good seed. Do not use seed grown south of Kansas. "PerhapB you sowed too late. It Is hardly safe to sow after August 15. "Perhaps the weeds choked your crop. Clean land is desirable. Perhaps you pastured the alfalfa the first year. "Perhaps you expected too much. Three cuttings with a total of three

tons to the acre is a resonable expectation. Seed is rarely harvested in Indiana. "The feeding value of alfalfa outranks all other common farm crops. "Sow a field of alfalfa this summer and get in line with the alfalfa boosters." MAZATLAN CITIZENS FACE STARVATION BY LEASED WIRE MAZATLAN, Mex.. May 23.

FARMER OF CHESTER SOFFERS FIRE LOSS

John Church Loses Large Barn, Grain and Farm Implements. A disastrous fire started In an unknown manner In the barn of John Church on the Chester and Fountain City pike at boon today, destroying completely the barn and resulting In the painful burning of Mr. Church. After Church had made repeated efforts to rescue his stock, he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. All the stock was removed from the burning building, but farm Imple ments, feed and supplies were burned. The efforts of neighbors were concentrated in getting out the animals before the roof collapsed. A farm bell rung for some time drew the neighbors to the place where the burning hay was sending up clouds of smoke and flame. The fire was a spectacular one with the score of men and boys, some taking out live stock and others organized into a bucket brigade to extinguish the flames. The fire was well started before any attempts could be made to fight it. After the live stock mas taken out, the men saw the futility of trying to save the barn and concentrated their efforts in preventing the spread of flames. How badly Mr. Church was burned, is not known, but it is believed he will be kept at the hospital for some time. The burns are extremely painful. It is said Mr. Church worked frantically to save all animals from burning before considering his own safety. The barn is still burning and probably will smolder for some time. The loss is not estimated, but probably will be large because of the wagons, implements and feed in the barn. G. 0, P, TO I TICKET ON JUNE 6 Republicans of Wayne county will meet in this city Saturday, June 6, tonominate the county ticket, according to a decision reached by the county central committee. In session, at the court house. Members of the committee took a radical step from the custom of the past when they decided to bold a delegate convention instead of a primary, as has been customary. This will be the first time in thirty years that Wayne county Republicans have not used the primary convention for nominating the county ticket. That the delegations may be as large as possible to impress the voters with the increasing strength of the Republican party, five delegates will be allowed each precinct, making more than three hundred men to be seated on the convention floor. A. M. Gardner suggested that two men represent each precinct. Frank Davenport, however, argued that inasmuch as this was the first delegate nominating body for many years the representation should be as near the people as possible and suggesTieT that the number be increased to five. This idea met the approval of Paul Comstock who also advocated greater representation. Ward and township meetings will bo held next Friday to elect ueiegaies 10 the convention.
