Discuss Way by
Which Wheat Crop
May Be Increased
CHICAGO, Oct a.-rouWing the wheat
crop of the United States is the possi
bility raised by scientific discoveries
made by Prof. Aaron Aaronsohn of
Jerusalem, according to announcement
made at the University of Chicago today.-
Prof. Aaronsohn Is director of the
agricultural experiment station in
Palestine. The Investigator, who found
the original wheat plant growing "wild
in Palestine after years of search, Is
engaged in crossing the plant with bet
ter grades of wheat in order to produce
a superior one.
The experiments, Prof. Aaronsohn as
serted, show that a race of wheat can
be produced adspted to the seml-arW
regions of Algeria. Tunis, Syria, Egypt,
Turkestan and other eastern countries
end to similar land in the United States.
Plants grown by the experiments thrive
In rooky, shallow and dry soil without
cultivation.
"This is really the biggest proposition
regarding the food supply of the world.i
now before us," said Prof. John Merle
Coulter, head of the department of
botany at the university, who talked
with Prof. Aaronsohn.
"The crossing of the wild wheat with
other grades will insure crops In drouth
and In arid lands. It will be the salva
tion of the eastern countries."

HART, Mich.. Oct. 22. -Secretary o
Agriculture James Wilson. ?;-eaktng In,
behalf of the re-election of President Taft
ami other republican candidates tonight
confined his address to a discussion of
the Issues between the republican and the
democratic parties, making no refeince
to the progressive party.
Secretary Wilson's address not only
discussed protection versus free trade,
but elaborately reviewed the accomplish
ments of President Taft's administration
and eulogized the president for the great
work which he has sohieved in pcocur
lug progressive legislation and in giving
the country a safe and stable administra
tion, avoiding international troubles and
conserving the interests of the people In
every particular, so that there had been
no check to prosperity.
"Since the meeting of our first con
gress," said Secretary Wilson, "protec
tion to American welfare on the farm,
in the shop and factory, has been the
most engrossing question around which
the strong men of the two great parties
have arrayed themselves. Republicans
believe in protection to . the extent of
the difference -between ' the cost of pro
duction here and in the countries that
sell goods here. The democrats do not
believe protection constitutional, as they
have repeatedly said in their national
platforms. The country -has tried both
parties Prom 1893 to 1897 It had low
tariffR and industrial distress. Since 1897
we have had protection and very great
prosperity."
Taft Affaluftt Trusts.
Secretary Wilson discussed the trust1
question. He asserted that no great
trust had been organized since March,
j 1909, and showed ' that proceedings had
ibeen directed by President Taft's ad
! ministration against combinations , to
control the price and restrict competi

of the federal troops. The letter was
brought, to the rebel lines by ; Captain
Limon and was, couched In most polite
terms, concluding with the intimation that
if the rebels did not surrender, duty would
oblige the federal commander to use fores.
General Felix Dlas, replying to the
note thanked General Baltran and eald
he was sorry the situation would compel
him to offer a forcible defence. At the
same time he asked General Beltran to
fix the longest possible time for the
evacuation of the city by the nonconi
batants. General Diaz then sent copies of both
communications to the foreign consuls,
asking that foreigners In the city should
make an inventory of the effects left be
hind when they moved out and promising
to indemnify them as soon as possible
for the damage that might be entailed by
the battle. Genera! Diaz also addressed
a communication to Captain Hughes,
commander of the United States cruiser
Des Moines, saying that he would con
duct the situation according to Inter
national law and specifically saying, "It
is unnecessary to disembark American
marines on my account."
The federal commander also addressed
the American consul saying: "I shall not
attack the city before the lapse of twenty
four hours and duilng that time Ameri
cans should seek safety."
General Dlas has since asked General
Beltran to name the time and place at
which non-combatants could pass both
lines.
Captain Hughes has conferred with
Commodore Azueta, the federal com
mander, as to what would be his atti
tude during the fighting. Commodore
Asueta promised not to participate nor
to fire in the direction of the city.

thank yon and The Bee for, the
ftgors ace reviving plans for the windup
of the presidential fight The injury to
Colonel Roosevelt, the voluntary with
drawal of Governor Wilson from the
stump, and the fact that neither President
Tatt or Vice President Sherman has
taken part in the active work of the cam
paign, has resulted in changing plans In
all three of the chief political campaigns.
j The ensuing two weeks will witness a
j concentration of .activity in the sections
where the respective managers believe
the outlook is most favorable, for the
capture of disputed ground. Governor
Johnson is to fill In most of Colonel
Roosevelt's proposed engagements In the
east, and the democratic leaders are rush
ing a number of their chief speakers Into
Pennsylvania and New York to take up
the work planned originally for Governor
Wilson.
Democrat After Pennsylvania.
The democratic campaign will center in
Pennsylvania from this time forth, ac
cording to statements made here. A
score of democratic senators and con
gressmen who have been speaking
throughout the country will be sent Into
the state this week in the hope of making
InHoads on heretofore solid republican
ground. , .-
The republican fight also is to be quick
ened In the east, with a concentration of
forces In New York state. Secretary of
State Knox Is to deliver several speeches
In eastern cities, including Ruffalo and
New York. It Is expected that Senator
Lodge and Secretary Meyer will join the
republican speaking force, which already
Includes Secretaries Nagel and Wilson.

lowed Colonel Roosevelt throughout his
entire western tour, will stump New Eng
land and eastern states until election.

Colonel Roosevelt's arrival from Chi

Judgment of Colonel Roosevelt's doctors
the question of his aspearance October

OHIO CONVICT IS KILLED
BY PENITENTIARY GUARD
(From a tSaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 22.-(Spec!al Tel
egram.) Three hours were taken tiy at
torneys In the Taft mandamus case this
afternoon in presenting the case before
the supreme court, the case lasting until
5 o'clock. Most of the time for the Taft
committee was taken up by Genera!
Webster, while C. C. Fiansburg for the
bull moose committee occupied the
greater of the hour and a half for that
side. Mr. Fiansburg was up In the air
most of the last half hour on questions
put to him by the different members $t
the court In their efforts to get at the
facts in the short time allowed. At times
the crowd was convulsed with laughter
at the attempts of the attorney to
answer the qmistlons he at one time
quoting a section of the statute explain
ing to tlie court that It was as plain as
day, but when one-of the judges asktd
him a minute later to explain that por
tion where it said that the national com
mittee of the party shall determine which
faction o fthe party has a right to the
designation "republican," the attorney
caused a laugh by saying that he would
have to admit that the section was
badly muddled up.
A decision on the case will be given
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
The case came up for hearing in ths
supreme court this afternoon. Deputy
Attorney General Ayers appeared for Sec
retary of State Walt and C. C. Flansberg
represented the bull moose electors. John
Lee Webster, W. A. Jefferls and Senator
Norris Brown appeared for the Tatt elec
tors. The supreme court room was crowded
with those interested In the case, among
them being A. C. Epperson, chairman of
the bull mobs republican committee; F.
F, 'Corrick, "chairman, l .-tbbulM,'p
committee; R.B. Howell, nations! com
mitteeman; Captain C. A. Adam of Su
perior, F. M. Currle, chairman of the reg-
ular republican committee.; General J. II.
Culver, vice chairman of the same com
mittee, and J. E. Green, president of the
Taft club of Lincoln.
About the same line of argument war
given by the attorneys as was made in
district court, and It was noted that the
Judges at times Interrupted the attorneys
by, asking questions. ...
Morrlsaey Loses Ills Case.
The new bull moose party has a right to
existence and a place upon ' the official
ballot, according to a ruling handed down
this morning by the supreme court after
hearing the case last night. The court
gives no opinion on the matter, simply ,
giving out the decision so that the aeere
tary of state may arrange the ballot in
time to certify to the county clerks to- ,
day, which is the last day. allowed by
law. '.''' ' '
The case was one In which Andrew M.
Morrlesey, democratlo candidate for the
office of attorney general, appealed to
the district court of Lancaster county for
a writ of mandamus to restrain the sec
retary of state from placing upon the
offloial ballot the nominees of the new
progressive party, setting out In his claim
that the party had ho right by law to a
party designation ori the ballot. The, case
was tried in the district court before
Judge Cosgrave, who held that the pro
gressive party had a right to a place on
the ballot. Mr. Morrlssey then appealed
the case to the supreme court, It being
advanced for a hearing yesterday on the
request of the attorney general in order
that a decision might be had in time to
arrange the bajot. ,

Another case which was handed down
this morning, and one which in the minUd
of many is nearly identical with the case
