ucts and farm animals sold and slaughtered in 1914, by far surpassed any previous year, according to the farmcm hnlletin. issued today by the de

partment of agriculture. The previous j year was 1913, which was $83,000,000 less than this year. The total value j of all farm products in 1914 was more ; than twice the value of the output of j

the farms fifteen years ago. The estimated value of all crops of the farm this year was $6,044,480,000, which Is $88,279,000 less than in 1913, chiefly on account of the reduced value of cotton.

BY LEASED WIRE. ! WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Early independence for the Philippines would mean seizure of the islands by some other power. Dean C. Worcester, former member of the Philippine commission, today told the, senate committee on the Philippines at the hearing of the Jones bill granting a larger measure of self-government to the islands. "There would be a quarrel for the offices," he said. "Elections would soon become radical. The contending factions would be so far at outs that armed violence would occur. This condition would probably be followed in various places by aggressions against foreigners on the part of the ignorant element and aggression would mean foreign intervention. If the Islands become fully independent intervention would lead to the taking possession of the islands by some other power beyond tho per-adventure of a doubt."

Worcester criticized various parts of the bill and said that while it was unsafe for natives to express themselves as opposed to independence, he felt sure that this condition would change if it were given time. The recent uprising near Manila was not of a serious character, according to Worcester, but it Indicated the ability of agitators to distrub public order in case American authority

were withdrawn. He described the operations of Artemio Ricarte, a professional revolutionist, who, Worcester said, sent agents among the interior natives to convince them that a revolt was at hand and that they should buy commissions in the revolutionary army. Ricarte collected $5 for a colonelcy, $1 for a lieutenancy, and other sums down to ten cents, after which the agents ran away, leaving behind a list of their dupes to be dealt with by i the authorities.

Polo reserved seat sale at Westcott Pharmacy. , S1-1

In regard to the report that prominent bankers of Vienna, have acted unofficially for the Austrian government In making peace overtures to Russia, Sir Gilbert Parker, the noted playwright and author, writes: "It la possible that Austria has made unofficial and Indirect overtures to Russia because her situation Is desperate. But It Is ten to one that she would not do It without Germany's consent, and Germany would give no such consent unless she was ready to eat the humble fruit of an undesirable peace."

BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Dec. 31. An indictment charging tax-dodging against Julius Rosenwald, multi-millionaire and philanthropist and president of the. Sears, Roebuck company, will be returned to the Cook county grand jury before Judge Kerstone iatp today, according to persistent reports in tlie criminal court, building. The return of a number cf indictments voted yesterday, all said to be against wealthy men on charges of failure to pay taxes, was delayed while Judge Kerstone questioned attaches of the court to find out 'how news of Mr. Rosenwald's indict mei't leaked out." It. was reported that evidence was submitted to the grand jury that Mr. Rosenwald in making out his tax schedules for 1911, 1912 and 1913 failed to list, more than 140,000 shares of Sears, Roebuck company stock.
