One of these trains, in charge of the state agricultural department, is on a trip through New Jersey and the farm­ ers are flocking to the stopping places In large numbers to listen to the lec­ tures and witness the demonstrations. The practical value of this method is recognized, and tbe American fanner who wants to be up to date is catch­ ing on. New Jersey evidently is wide* awake as to the importance of uti­ lising its natural resources. Vienna.--Theodore Roosevelt Indignant when he learned that a re­ port had been printed In Paris and cabled to America, to the effect that one of the results of his recent con­ ference with Gifford Pinchct was an agreement on his part to use his name as a candidate for the presidency. The colonel said the story was a pure fake, that neither be nor Gifford Pinchot bad said anything that could possibly warrant such a statement. In this connection Roosevelt said his meeting with Pinchot should not be Interpreted as a desire to hear only one side of the conservation contro­ versy. "I want-to bear all sides on all questions," th® colonel said, "and I shall be glad to see anyone who can enlighten me on political conditions. I am sorry that Senator Root could not come to Europe." In concluding his remarks.regarding the Paris Herald, the colonel said: "As this is the third false statement in tbe Herald of a similar character, I must absolutely decline to see the representatives of that paper." Theodore Roosevelt and his ton Kermit arrived here Friday morning. A thin base bung over the Austrian •jciplUl "5-hsa tbe tr-'** »»««trtn« Mr. Roosevelt drew Into the station. The guest was met by Herr von Mueller, principal secretary of the foreign of­ fice, who was there as representative of the Austrian government. Amer­ ican Ambassador Kerens sand others of the staffs of the American embassy and consulate and Baron Hengelmul- ler von Hengervar, Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Washington. After an exchange of greetings Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Kerens entered a court carriage and drove directly to the Hotel Krans. Owing to the earll- ness of the hour tbe streets were al­ most deserted and although the driver and the footmftn wore the Im­ perial livery the passing of the party attracted no attention. After breakfast with Henry White, formerly American ambassador to France, who came from Silesia to meet blm, Mr. Roosevelt received several Americans who awaited him at the botel and then drove in the court car­ riage to the foreign office, on tbe Ball- Plats, and made an official call on Count von Aehrenthal, the foreign min­ ister. At two o'clock In tbe afternoon Mr. Roosevelt again entered the court car­ riage and drove to the Horburg palace, where be was received in audience by Emperor Francis Joseph. As a Spe-j; clal mark of esteem the emperor greeted bis gnest In his private apart­ ments instead of in the usual audience chamber. AB Mr. Roosevelt entered the courtyard the palace guard turned out and rendered him military honors. The gorgeous banquet given to for­ mer President Roosevelt by Emperor Francis Joseph, Saturday at the palace was the final function of royal­ ty in his honor. This event, however, was overshadowed In a measure by a call on Colonel Roosevelt by the Jfepal nuncio to Austria, Mgr. Granito dl Belmonte Pignatelll. This incident is considered here as being of the greatest significance as a sequel to the Vatican's .recent pro­ nouncement. y The nuncio, in full ecclesiastical vestments of his office, and accom­ panied by bis secretary, Mgr. Rossi- Stockalper, called upon the former president after the luncheon which Ambassador Kerens gave in his honor. After being presented by the Ameri­ can ambassador, the papal nuncio and Colonel Roosevelt withdrew. They talked together for twenty minutes, but what transpired It is impossible to state, as both subsequently declined to give any Information.

The train carried no express matter. Four of the pouches have been recov­ ered, but the robbers rifled the others and now are biding in the hills and canyons between Martinez and Oak­ land. Sheriffs' posses from two coun­ ties, detectives and post office Inspect­ ors on horses and in automobiles are engaged in tbe man hunt. Tbe robbers were well armed and a battle is antici­ pated. The passengers on tbe train were not disturbed. After getting tbe mall sacks, the robbers cut tbe engine loose from the train and se»t it wild, throttle open, down the main track to the e&At. In the direct path of the engine" was a section of passenger £ratn No. 6, west-bound, heavily loaded. But for the presence of mind of a telegraph operator at Suisun a serious coli&ion would have taken place. The engine was thrown into a ditch in the nick'of time. The train robbery Is tbe first in Cali­ fornia for several years. It was plot­ ted and executed In daring, spectacu­ lar fashion. THE SEASON OF FIRST LOVES ARMSTRONG COMPANY IS HIT Insurance Actuary Charges Nearly $600,000 Is Missing From Treas­ ury of CasMatty Concern. Charleston, W. Va.--That the active managers of the Consolidated Casual- tl company before Its reorganization here this week, under direction of the Insurance department of West Vir­ ginia, collected $757,114 in one year and nine months, of which only $191,- 637 remains, and that they made false entries on the books of the company and false returns to the Insurance department of the state, are charges in the report of John F. Roche of New York, consulting actuary to the insur­ ance department, made public Friday. The actuary found that the entire management of the company was In the hands of Robert B. Armstrong of Chicago, president; C. H. Burras, vice- president, and A. S. Mitchell, secre­ tary and treasurer, as officers, and of Armstrong'Burras and' Mitchell D. Follansbee as the executive commit­ tee. The actuary's report states iiiat the condition of the company's books was such that a correct audit Is almost Im­ possible. Among irregularities charged are cancellation of Stock iauued, a col­ lection of partial payments for which nothing was Issued, and the issuing of stock which was not paid for. The actuary recites that President Arm­ strong drew a salary of $1,000 per month. "June 30, 1909," the report says, "It was discovered that be (Arm­ strong) had overdrawn his salary $2,312." The United States collector of in­ ternal revenue in New York reports that the corporations are generally responding to the requirements of the new federal law calling for returns as a basis for taxation. This is com­ mendable, and shows a much better spirit than Indicated in many quarters at first. The best intelligence in cor­ porate management is beginning to realise and recognize that reasonable restriction and regulation are equit­ able and In the public Interest, and .managers are governing themselves accordingly. , Chicago telephone girls must be «ver five feet high.

While the main .attack upon tbe great oil corporation under the fed­ eral anti-trust law has been deferred for weeks, or perhaps even months, by the court's decision that the case gnust be reargued, .a subsidiary battle 'will be fought before the court this week over the attempt of Tennessee to oust the Standard from doing busi­ ness there because of alleged viola­ tion of the anti-trust statute of the State.

Washington.--An army of 70,000 enumerators--larger than the stand­ ing army--Friday morning began the task of counting the population of the United States. It is estimated that Uncle Sam has about 90,000,00© children and the work of checking them up must be completed in one month. In the cities the count will be made In 15 days and some of tbe returns from them are expected by the first week In June. The exact population of tip oatir« country, how­ ever, will not be determined before September. The enumeration will cover all the 46 states, the two territories, Hawaii and Porto Rica Alaska, the Phil­ ippine Islands and Guam are not In­ cluded, as special arrangements are made for numbering the people there.

Pat­ ten, has been instituted in New York and Chicago. 1 ; T As a result, it may be that Patten will be summoned to New York to give testimony. Cotton slumped heavily Monday as soon as tbe hews of the,federal in­ vestigation was received. The probe will be made In connec­ tion with proceedings against Frank B. Haynes and William P.

It is charged that Haynes, Brown and others agreed that they should each purchase 150,000 bales of cotton to be delivered in New York between March and July and that this cotton should be disposed of only at certain prices and under certain conditions named in the contract.

They are commanded to bring with them all books and papers relating to the agreement. In all parts of tbe country a cotton panic followed the news of the court rction ifi New York, and it is said tkat Patten lost many thousands of dollars through reports that became current to the effect that he is being made the especial target of the government. HYDE IS FLAYED AS SLAYER Trial of Kansas City Doctor Charged With Murder of the Swopes la Begun. Kansas City, Mo.--Before ] a court­ room that was crowded to 1is capac­ ity, James A. Reed Monday /delivered the opening statement for this prosecu­ tion in the Hyde murder triab The trial was marked by a Sharp clash between attorneys for the two sides. The defense waged a hard fight against the court permitting Mr. Reed, as special counsel, to deliver the open­ ing statement. Judg^ Latshaw held that it was en­ tirely legal, but as a precautionary move, suggested that Mr. Reed be ap-. pointed a special prosecuting attor­ ney. This was done. The greater part of the statement was a repetition of the charges made by state witnesses against the physi­ cian in depositions given before Doc­ tor Hyde's attorneys. The deaths of Colonel and Chrisman Swope and of James Moss Hunton, executor of the Swope estate, were dealt with in de­ tail. The charges that Doctor Hyde was responsible fqr the spread of ty­ phoid fever in th« Swope house^ iand that. on three occasions he tried to poison Miss Margaret Swope, composed a considerable part of the address. It was said by Mr. Reed that the sfkte would show that Colonel Swope was poisoned with cyanide of potas­ sium as well as strychnine, and that stryohnine and cyanide had been given to Chrisman, the colonel's nephew. The story of Colonel Hun ton's death was made a little clearer. According to the statement Dr. O. T. Twyman protested against Doctor Hyde bleed­ ing Hunton to such an extent as he did. Doctor Hyde was indicted for negligently killing Hunton by blooding. Dr. George T. Twyman, physician of the Swope family and one of the prin­ cipal witnesses against Doctor Hyde, died Monday evening from an opera­ tion. The death of Doctor Twyman Is a heavy blow to the state in the case it has prepared against Doctor Hyde. Police Halt 19-Hour Waltaers.

' ' ' ^ ' P \ •» I- : GERMANY AND jrCAltADIAN LOOKS tO THE CANADIAN WESt POR HER $ijppi_y, P A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito­ ba, "dated March 18, 1910 sayn: ' T&fei Germany is "anxious to secure, a share of Canadian wheat to 'supply her Im­ ports of that cereal." Tb© recent ad­ justment of the trade relations with Germany has made It possible to carry on a Canadian-German trade with much fewer restrictions than In the past, and considerable development of trade between the two Countries la now certain. The great men of the United States are alive to the Wheat situation in this Country now, and there is consequently the d«epest interest in every feature that will tend to increase and conserve the wheat supply. With its present 6S0,- 000,000 bushel production of wheat and all efforts to increase it almost unavailing, and tbe rapidly growing consumption of Its increasing popula­ tion, there fs cei tainly the greatest reason for the anxiety as to where the wheat Is to come from that will feed the nation. The United States will be forced as Germany Is to look to the Wheatflelds of Canada. One province alone raised last year one- eighth as much as the entire produc­ tion of the United States, and but ft twelfth of tbe wheat area has yet been touched. The Americans who have gone to Canada, are to-day reaping the benefit of the demand for Canadi­ an wheat and they will continue to join in the benefits thus reached for a great many years. Splendid yields are reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Gov­ ernment gives away in 160 acre blocks, and from other lands that have been purchased at irom gjJ "w $15 an acre. John Munter, near Bye- brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi­ dent of Minnesota says: "Last fall got over 80 bushels of wheat to the acre and had. 30 acres of it; also 20 acres spring breaking on which I had fiax of which I got almost 20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acrea in oats and got 70 bushels per acre and 500 bushels potatoes on one and three quarter acre, and can therefore safely say that I had a fine crop and am well satisfied with my homestead." He is considered but a small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers, some of these days. There are many others, hundreds of others, whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experienice of American farmers in the Canadian West is a lo'ig one. The iinw»- to go, would appear to be now, whe\~splen- did selections may be mad#, and where land can be purchased at prices that will be doubled In a couple of years, 1 - The Response Mechanical. It' Is the custom in convents for the nans to respond to a knock at the door with the words: "In the name of God," the phrase being equivalent in con­ ventional parlance to our worldly "enter" or "come In." In a convent In one of the western cities not long since the mother supe­ rior had a never-to-be-forgotten expe­ rience as a result of this custom.
