ADVISES HOW CROP Season Favorable For Development of Late Blight, Says County Agent Bordner. Considerable damage to the potato crop in this section of the country ha been done by the late bli&ht acconlinc: to County Asent Hordncr. It was apparent early in the season, says I'.ordner, that this disease (Phytophthora Infestans) would do considerable damage for the reason that climatic conditions were Just ri'lit for the development of the disease. Farmers were advised early to thor"u;;hly spray their potatoes with Pordoaus mixture but tince the 1 litfht seldom docs large damage here the majority of potato growers were not jirr pared to spray, and, further, the weather wa. such that in many cases sjirayinff would not have been elfectie. inc the damage has occured many have made inquiry as to what can be dore to take care of the part1 I crop and Hordner has issued the following instructions in answer to these queries: "A word, therefore, concerning the disease Is quite in place. Late blight is a disease caused by a fungus which destroys the foliage in seasons of cool moist weather. When the disease beeomeH an epidemic it spreads rapidly over an entire held and in case this happens when the vines are still sappy and tender the fundus follows the stem to the tubers'. These beinyr immature are also susceptible and in many casese are injured so badly that soft rot develops and entirely destroys the tuber. The same will result if the potatoes are du and stored in l.-.rf piles or in close cellars before the tubers are thoroughly dried out. "Further, where soft rot doe not develop the blight develops a dry rot in badly infected tubers sometimes reusing part of the entire tubers to dry up before spring. In such cases it will be noticed that the stem end is the part affected first. In cases wher the disease id present, care should be taken in selecting seed potatoes. Preferably seed from uninfected lields should be used. However, if this is impossible the seed potatoes should be selected In the lields taking only tho?e tubers which are developed and which show no discoloration underneath the outer surface of the potato at the stem end. These potatoes should be stored in cellars- in which the temperature is kept just above the freezing point. If the cellar Is too warm the dry rot Is apt to develop during the winter months. In dipping every effort should be made to get the tubers thoroughly dry before storing. "Reports are coming in of potatoes rotting in the pround. If these potatoes have the skins well hardened it is best to dig them and store them in such a way that they will be dry and cool.' COX NOT GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT .fury Iliuls in Favor of Man Accused of Appropriating Funds. PI yd M. Cox was found not guilty of embezzlement by the circuit court jury Wednesday night.

Prosecution Fails to Prove "Slush" Fund of 31,000 Was Collected From Brewers as Part of Conspiracy. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 7. The state rested its case in the election conspiracy trial of Mayor Joseph E. Bell soon after the opening of court today. Mayor Bell himself was the first witness called by the defense. The only witness for the state today was Congressman Merrill Moore, who told of seeing three automobiles filled with from five to seven men each visit the eighth precinct of the third ward on election day. This was to support the state's contention regarding the alleged "repeaters" carried by William Pettit. foreman of the "wrecking crew," and "Goosie" Costello. Perhaps the greatest disappointment to the prosecution came late Wednesday when the effort to prove that a "slush" fund of $1,000 was collected from the brewers as part of alleged conspiracy, received a jolt. Delivered in 1913. This came when Paul Hagen, treasurer of the Home Brewery, testified that the $750 which he paid to Taggart was delivered in 1913 instead of at the last election which the present trial involves. Hagen said he took $750 to democratic headquarters in large bills in 1914 and paid it to some man whom he cannot now name. He was positive, however, that he did not give it to Thomas Taggart. Hagen had testified before the grand jury that he paid the money to Taggart in 1914, but subsequently notified Pros. Rucker that he was in error before that body and that the donation was made in 191.1. Hagen said the brewery made the donation because it was customary. He said a committee represented the administration but he could not recollect who composed the committee. In previous years Hagen said, it was the policy of his company to contribute to both parties during the campaign. There was a stir in the court room whii Mayor Bell took the stand today following a short talk with his attorneys during the recess as the state rested. Bell appeared cool and collected as Atty. Michael Ryan started the direct examination. Tells St on' f Lire. The mayor told the story of his early life on the farm and as school teacher before coming to Indianapolis to enter the legal profession. He explained his favoritism for certain candidates in the 1914 primaries principally on the grounds of old time friendship and because of early pledges made to them. Other candidates who also were his friends, camu to him later but he told them of his prior pledges. Some of the so-called "slat" candidates he had known for as long as 20 years, and even knew the fathers of a few. He had great faith in the qualifications and characters of all the democratic candidates and had held numerous conferences with other democratic leaders as to what men would add the greatest strength to the ticket. In all. he testified, he had seen about a dozen different "slates" framed from groups of democrats. The witness said he had no connection whatever with the selection of the primary boards except he suggested to County Commissioner Kitley that men of unquestionable fairness serve as inspectors. Mayor Bell said he visited many precincts on primary day where he stopped and chatteo, but had no particular object in view. He denied that he had ever given orders to the police department to favor any particular candidates. As to city employes the witness said they were generally favorable to the group of candidates preferred by him, bui his only advice to them was to do their duty by attending the primaries and to get their friends out. He said there were many republicans at the meeting at which he gave the advice. The witness entered emphatically unqualified denials of all charges made against him through the cons-piracy indictment. He denied knowledge of any overt action on the part of others, saying if there were such actions as those testified to by witnesses for the state, they were without his consent or knowledge. The mayor denied having any conversation with Bud Ginson at the polls other than to say "Hello" to him. (It was Gibson who testified that the mayor slipped 11 $1 bills to him when "shaking hands.")
