TO HELP IHE FAIRS
6fCffTAB7 "TVIELLOn DCSinKS
THAT CONGRESS SHOULD AID.
If
.THE BILL HE HAS PREPARED
Appears Before the HoUse Committee
, on Agriculture In Advocacy
of the Measure. .
Secretary W. It. Mellor of the stato
board of agriculture, who originated
the bill introduced by Congressman
Magulre of Nebraska for an appro
priation for a $100,000 government
building on stato fair grounds in
states that appropriate funds for a
stato fair and where the stato owns
the grounds appeared before the com
mittee on agriculture, of the house In
Washington in support of tho Maguire
bill. If the bill Is passed and all
states eligible take advantage of it
the total government appropriation
will be $4,800,000, distributed over
several states.
A dispatch from Washington states
that Mr. Mellor expressed himself, as
much pleased with the attention given
by the commlttee'to hiB statement
and regarded it as a good omen in
connection with the possible passage
of the measure.
In speaking to tho committee Mr.
Mellor said in part:
"An objection raised is that tho pro
visions of tho bill are not broad
enough, that It should take in fairs
owned by municipalities and other
quasi-public corporations. Were It
possible to make such a proceeding
constitutional, we would cheerfully
nay 'Amen,' for wo are firm in our
belief that more solid practical in
struction is Imparted for tho money
expended than by any of the present
recognized subsidized methods.
"Wo alBo believe that the condi
tions of this bill are Uroad enough to
permit each state to participate in its
benefits. Section 2 of the bill sets
forth 'That the appropriation herein
- Iliado, shall inure only to the use of
those states which now or hereafter
shall by Mntutn recognize and make
appropriation toward the establish
,. menJandjBupport of a state fair or
" 'exposition upon land owne"d "by "and
under control of tho state or a stato
board created by legislative enact
ment, and no money shall bo paid out
under this act to any state failing to
comply with the above provisions.'
"Ono of the conditions mentioned
in section 5 Is 'That the government
of the United States hereby reserves
not to exceed 20 per cent of tho space
within said building so erected for de
. partmental exhibits' by giving thirty
days-' notice. This provision may not
be clearly understood, For several
years it has been customary through
out tho more purely ugricultuarl
ctates to make naval exhibits at tho
ntato fair. According to statements
made by recruiting officers, the boys
from tho rural districts are better
specimens of manhood, make sturdier
eoldierB and are not addicted to clga
rets and other health undermining
and Ylclous habits; therefore, enlist
ments tnado from the (Agricultural
states aro a paying proposition for
the government, and exhibits made
for the purpose of inducing u sturdy
class of recruits is desirable to tho
government for future results."
Gcottabluff Gonds Valid.
Tho attorney general has informed
O-e Rtnto nuditor that the failure to

Tho biennial elections proposed

coterie of men met at University

proposed law as pernicious and apt
to cause great confusion among tho
voters of tho state If adopted.

two, was burled at Strang. She had

health.
Pugstey Minimizes Loss.
C. W. Pugsloy of tho state farm
was asked how much truth there was
In reports of winter killing of winter
whefat and .-opllod that ho thought
the Btorles were exaggerated. "It is
undoubtedly true," ho said, "that con
siderable wheat has been killed, but
there Is no particular section af
fected, tho losees bolng well distrib
uted over the state and In no case
exceptional. I would say that the loss
is slightly above the ten-year aver
ago and considerably less than tho
average of tho last three years."

PROTECTED.
MUST OBEY RULES OF WAR
Federals ':id Rebels Ordered to Treat
Cltlzona of This Country. Humanely
If- Taken as Prisoners Oroico's
Startling Statement.
Washington, April 13. Tho United
States has issued a warning to tho
Moxlcan government, us well as to
Gen. Paseual Orozco, chlot ot tho rev
olutionary forces, that It expects and
must dotnnnd that American llfo and
property within the ropubllc of Mexico
bo justly and adequately protected,
and that this government must hold
Mexico and tho Mexican people re
HponHlble for all wanton or Illegal nets
sacrificing or ondnngerlng American
llfo or damaging American property or
Interests.
Tho attitude of the United States as
expressed to both tho federal and
rebel authorities 1b that any mai
treatment of American citizens "will
bo deoply resented by tho American
government and pcoplo, and must bo
fully answered for by the Mexican poo
pie." Acting Socrotnry Huntington Wilson
ot tho stato department, who Issued
special Instructions to Ambassador
Honry Lano Wilson at Mexico City,
and Marlon Letcher, American consul
nt Chihuahua, authorized tho state
ment that Intervention was not con
templated by tho United States.
Ambassador Wilson was ordered to
communlcnto at onco tho vlows ot tho
United States to tho Moxlcan minister
for torolgn affairs, and n copy of his
Instructions was llkowlsa sent to
Marion Lotchor, American cousul at
Chihuahua, with Bpoclal representa
tions nddrcsscd to General Orozco.
Genoral Orozco, who recently served
notice up"-- tho stato department that
ho would not recognize Marlon Letch
er, tho American consul at Chihuahua,
or James 1. Long, tho American vOUBUl
nt Pnrral, over whoso protest Foun
tain was killed, as being representa
tives ot any government.
He has Informed the authorities that
ho will not recognlzo tho right of tha
TThitmi PI hi km in nd Us malls
through Mexico except on his trains
Though declining to justify partici
pation of Americans 6n either aide,
tho United States expressly stipulates
that American combatants, when ta
ken prisoners, must bo givon humane
treatment In nccordnnco with tho in
ternational rules of war.
Tho correspondence, inndo public
vhcre, is admittedly tho strongest de
mand tho United States Is known to
hnvo mado upon Mexico for respectful
treatment of Americans, ns well as
other foreigners, and declares that a
continuation of illegal acts Is tending
"to difficulties and obligations which
It Is to tho interest of nil truo Moxlcan
patriots, as It is tho dcslro ot tho
United States, to avoid."
