Satisfactory progress In the construction of the Panama canal Is shown In the anmial report of the Isthmian Canal Commission for the fitcal year ending June SO, 1309, made public by the secretary of war today. The report dtalH with the organization of the work, construction and engineering problems which were solved, the cltvll gov ernment of the canal rone, the sanitary condition which, which were greatly Im proved, and he estimated cost of the canal. While tha leport contains few facts which hive not been printed from time to time and scarcely any comment by Colonel Goethala, eha rman of the commission and chief engineer of the work. It affords an Interesting resume of what has been ac complished during the year. The report says: "A complete reorganization of the work was InaiiRiiiated on July 1, lsrtW, and brought about gradually through the year with a view, as previously stated, to con centrate authority, to expedite the transac tion of business, to secure better co-ordination, to fix more definitely the lespontd biilty In any particular case, and to reduce the cost of administration. The subdepan menu of the department of construction and engineering were abolished and three construction divisions substituted the Atiuntlc dlvlHlon, extending from detp water In the Caribbean, to Jnclude Ga'.um locks and dam; the central division, ex tending from Gatum dam to Pedro Miguel locks, and the Pacific division, from Pedro Miguel locks to deep water in the Pac.fic. "During the year the designs for the upper locks at Gatum and tho locks at Pedro Miguel were finished. The locks la pairs, separated by a wall sixty feet thlik, aie 110 feet in width, with 1,000 feet uabie l.'i;fe'ihs. .

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (Special. )-The Department of Agriculture, In a circular issued a few days ago. gives a brief state ment of results of experiments conducted during the season Just closed with a new kind of corn from China. A small lot of shelled corn, of a kind that Is new to this country, was sent to the United HI ales Department of Agricul ture from Shanghai, China, In VJQH. and tested the same season. It proved to have qualities that may make it valuable In breeding a corn adapted to the hot and dry conditions of the southwest. The plants raised in the test averaaed less than six feet in helirht, with an average of twelve gieen leaves at the time of tassellng. The ears averaged five and a half Inches In length and four and a third Inches In great est circumference, with sixteen to eighteen rows of small grains. On the upper part of the plant the leaves are all on one side of the stalk, instead of being arranged In two rows on opposite sides. Besides this, tho upper leaves stand erect. Instead of drooping, and the tips of the leaves are therefore above the top of the tassel. The silks' of the ear are produced at the point where the lpaf blade Is Joined to the le'af sheath, and thev appeur before there Is any h tm of an ear except a rllght swelling The corn Is very different from any that Is now produced In America. Its peculiar vnlue is that thj erect arrangement of the leaves on one side of the stalk and the ap pearance of the silks In the angle where the leaf blade Joins the shrtuh offer a pro tected place In which pollen can settle and fertilise the silks before the latter are ever exposed to the air. This Is an excellent arrangement for preventing the drying out of the silks before pollination. While this corn may be of little value Itself, It Is likely that, by cross-breeding, those desir able qualities can be Imparted to a larger coin, w hich will thus be better adapted to the southwest. The diKcovery of this peculiar corn In China suggests anew the Idea that, al though America la the original home of corn, yet It may by some means have been taken to the eastern hemisphere long be fore the discovery of America by Colum bua. From descriptions in Chinese litera ture corn is known to have been established In China within less than a century after the voyage of Columbus. Hut this seems a short time for any plant to have become widely known and used. Besides, this par ticular corn Is. so different from anything In the new world that it must have been developed In the old world, and for that to happen In a natural way would take a very long time. These Ideas are brought out In bulletin 161 of tho bureau of plant industry, whi:h gives also an uccount ot some cross-breeding experiments with .the new corn and the changers which crossing I produce in the main the same season. j Erd ers Body is Exhumed Organs arc in Good Condition and ChiiiuiaU Can Readily Ascertain Cause of Death. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21. (Special Telegram. ) Actinn for the coroner, Dr. J. A. Hartmann today removed the brairi, heart, stomach, liver kidneys and part of the spine from the body of William J. Krder. which was ex humed yesterday, and turned these parts over to Prof. W. H. Warren of Washington university, who will make a chemical analy sis lo determine if poison caused Erder's death. Deputy Coroner Fath, In reporting on the autopsy, fid a superficial examination of ICrdei's lntenlines discloi.ed nothing. That they were found unusually well preserved and that If poison caused Erder's death there would be little d.fflculty in determin ing that fact. Erder t'.ied here July 10, la:it, throe months after he was ma:rled at Clayton, St. Louis county, to a woman who h.s relatives say, was Mrs. Loren B. Doxty, and only a few weeks after he made $3,50j Insurance on his life payable to her. which she collected after his death. Eider's sister. Miss Kate Erder, caused the arrest of Mrs. Doxey and her husband at Columbus, Neb., la-st week, on a bigamy charge. The report on the chemical analy sis will not be ready for several days.

Illinois Educational Exhibit for Farmers With an exhibit which It has taken many years to prepare, the University of Illinois will show 200.000 farmers, next month in Omaha, how to manage the soil to prevent agricultural bankruptcy; how systems of treatment will lead either to soil ruination or starvation or to permanent agriculture and prosperity. This exhibit wIM be brought here and displayed at the National Corn exposition from December ( to U. More than 106.000 attended the exposition last year. The management says Illinois will be able to show 200.000 farmers this year the work which Ihe state is doing In investigating soil and Improving crops. Illinois early re-a!!xed thai conservation of the soil and ma'ntenance of its fertil ity was the most Important question with which the government and states have to deal. The work In that state has been painstaking, earnest and rather expensive, hut the results will save farmers In all parti of tha country years of experiment ing. The Illinois experiment stations w ill show the results of deep Investigation of the soli work for a permanent agriculture. hieih Is the aim of th exhibit. Systems of orop rotation, soli treatment and the result will be shown, with (rains and Upper House Will Vote on Lans-downe's-Motion Thursday. ATTITUDE OF THE LEADERS They Contend Liberals Have no Man date to Introduce New Taxes. ANSWER OF THE MINISTRY It aya that Issue la Whether . the Hereditary Chamber Shall Rale the Country netting: Fa vors Liberals. LONDON, Nov. 21. The United Kingdom Is more absorbed In politics now than for many years and the coming week will see the culmination of the fierce warfare that has been carried on over the budget. The House of Lords Is expected to vote Thursday on Lord Lansdowne'a resolution culling fur the rejection of the budget. Before Thursday more of the leaUrj In the upper house will speak on the qu.a tlon. Lord Roscbery'a effort for the conservatives and that of the Ilalsbury for the liberals, are earl of awattal with tho most interest. Trobably the largest number of lords will be mustered for the vote since the rejection of home rule. About 4G0, many of whom practically are strangers to Parliament, are likely to be assembled, and not more than ona quarter of these will support the budget. Most of tha politi cians predict that when the question goes beforo the people at the general election In January, It will be Impossible to Wipe out the great liberal majority and that the liberal government will be returned, but with a comparatively small majority. The betting at Lloyds Is 3 to 1 In favor of the liberals. The liberal leaders declare that the l.sue Is whether the hereditary chamber shall rule the country. The conservative argue that the House of Commons has no man date from the people to introduce new forms if taxation and that the House of Lords is fulfilling its function as a bal ance on the commons by forcing a resort to a referendum. Conservative gains will be acclaimed as victories for protection. The uncertalaty of the country's finan cial policy Is paralyzing the stock ex change, 'and thu possibility that the gov ernment will have raised a large loan to meet current expenses, makes the money market too uncertain for extensive private tnteiprlsos. Arguments Today in Dobbins' Case Prosecution to Have Floor Today and Case May Go to Jury luesday. The arguments in the trial of John R. Dobbins lor larceny, alleged to have been committed In the operations of the Mabray gang, will be resumed in district court at council Bluffs this morning. Ihe state will probably occupy a large part of the day with argument for the prosecution. The case will possibly go to the Jury some time Tuesday. The defense rested without Introducing testimony " w hen the state closed Saturday. Ihe arguments following this step will embody much ot an effort to take advan tage of the technical aspects of the case. NO TRACE OFACCUSED GIRL Domestic t'harwed with Klllina; Dual uesa Man at Waltbam, Mass., . llaa Disappeared. WALTHAM, Mass.. Nov. 21. No trace has been found of Hattle Leblanc, the 18-year-old girl whom Clarence F. Glover, president of the Waltham laundry. Just before his death last night, accused of shooting him. The Charles river was drag ged today by the police in the belief th.it the girl may have committed suicide. Miss Leblanc was a domestic In the Glover family. BOY KILLED WHILE COASTING Sled of Eddie Primrose at Lead Rune Off Sidewalk Into a Creek. LEAD. 8. D Nov. 21. (Special Tele gram.) Eddie Primrose, a 9-year-old boy, was fatally Injured this morning while coasting on a sidewalk on Lower Main street. The sidewalk runs over Goldrun creek, and the boy and Us sled dropped to the bottom of the creek, a distance of about twelve feet. The boy's skull was fractured. He lived for about three hours after tho accident. grasses, leaving no room for doubt that If the Illinois method is followed the old lands will never need to be abandoned. A aoll survey may la one of the features. It shows in a general way the boundaries of different types of soli In the state, to gether with field experiments which de termine the composition and needs of each of these types. Thus far Illinois has led all other states In changing the chemical composition of corn at will, breeding for high or low oil and starch contents; In fact, producing any type of corn which a manufacturer mighe desire. How this work Is done will be a feature of the exhibit at Omaha, and the progress of the work through twelve gen erations will be Interesting. Illinois has accomplished another thing. The university of the state can place ears of corn at any position of the stalk high e.r low. There are reasons why tha ear should grow at a certain point on the stalk to get ' Just enough sunlight from above. Just enough moisture from below. Illinois can put It there Just at the right spot. The exhibit is remarkable, and from the description furnished the local management It is evident Illinois will be a leader at the National Corn exposition la 1W. 9 teVV.

VIEW 0E MISSOURI ATTORNEY Alan Who Aided la Persecution of .Oil Companies in that State Says ' Victory of Government la Theoretical Only. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. Mortimer F. Elliot, general counsel for th J,:ndard OH com pany, said today, in 'commenting for the first time on the decision against the com pany handed down yesterday by the United States circuit court at St. Paul:. "I have seen what purports to be tha text of the decree handed down by tha United States clrcutt court yesterday. The com pany will take an appeal Immediately to the United States supreme court and will cheer fully abide by the verdict of the highest court in the land, whatever that may be. "Arguments in this case began last April and we are glad to have reached an opinion I do not mean that we are pleased with the opinion itself, but that we are c'ad to get It. whatever Its nature. "The decree1 does not order a dissolution of the Standard Oil company; that Is a mis understanding. What the decree order, as I now understand it, Is that the com pany shall distribute among its stockhold ers, pf whom there are approximately 5,000, Its holdings in the stock of subsidiary com panies. This distribution, I further under stand, Is ordered to be effected on a pro rata basis of apportionment. That 1s to say, the heaviest holders of Standard Oil stock would receive a proportional number of shares In the stock of subsidiary com panies." Mr. Elliot was asked what course the company would adopt if the verdict of the lower court should be upheld in the hlghei court. "That," he said, "Is something I shall be bettei prepared to discuss when I have seen ihe opinion by which the United States circuit court Justifies Its decree." A Theoretical Victory. Henry Wellrran. who represented the attorney general of Missouri In that state's suit against the Standard OH company and conducted the examination In New York of officers of the. company, takes a view similar to that expressed by Mr. Elliot. He sums up the situation as "a theoretical victory." "I cannot see," he said, "that any prac tical effect Is to be expected. It seems as if the best the government can da is to order the sale of the property and In that case the money, of course, goes to the pres ent stockholders In some form or another. There is no confiscation, no punishment, as there would be in the case of criminal proceedings with the imposition of a bit; fine. "The case s-ems to be very similar to that of the coal roads which were forced to separate from their coal business, and it Is difficult to see, if even the decision is upheld by the supreme court,' how the government can prevent the control of Standard Oil properties remaining in the- (Continued on Second Page.)

BERLIN, Nov, i 21. The treatment of American meats by Germany and the prob ability of modification in the forthcoming negotiations for a trade arrangement be tween the two countries. Is much discussed In the German newspapers. The bulletin of the Commerc'al - Treaty association, which Is opposed "to the high . protective" policy of the government expresses the Opinion that some of the restrictions placed upon American meats are unnecessary from the purely sanitary standpoint and might well be moderated In e-xchanse for certain advantages under the American tariff law. The association, however, re-Jccts the claim that American animals and meats are sub ject to exceptional treatment at the hands of the German government. The prohibition ajralnut the Importation of American beef cattle was Issued In because several animals In two cargoes shipped to Hamburg were discovered to be affected with Texas fever; but the Im portation of live cattle from Australia. Uussla. Italy and some other countries Is iIfo prohibited, but for other reasons. It !s remarked, furthermore, that even If the prohibition of Imports from the United States were abrogated, ' it would still be Impossible to brlnK American cattle Into Germany, because they, In common with the cattle from other oversea countries would be subject to a quarantine detention and observation of four weeks and would hnve to be put through the tuberculine test. The trichinae certificate required by the German authorities for American pork, the association thinks, might be abolished because this meat Is examined again in Germany In any case. MRS.

The Employes' Protective association was, it Is said, an afterthought on the part of Patterson. Dr. Hall was retained by Patterson as medical advlne-r, while John G.

At the end of the day no living man or boy had been added to the list of tha twenty rencuid yesterday. All day long the tolling of church bellB resounded In Cherry and Spring Valley. Eighteen bodies were Interred today in a field south of the town. At tho mine a dozen coffined victims remained awaiting removal, with a score of caketa piled nearby for tho bodies which are to come. Services for the dead were held oiitsldo the churches Into which Coroner Malm deemed it advisable that the bodies be token. From tho yet unfilled graves In which the Homan Catholic dead were placed, ths pastor hurried to the mine entrance, where, with n, tecoud priest ho waited to admin ister the last rites for the living, should his services be needed. Mif.-or Connolly telegraphed President Taft ut Washington last night that twenty men hud been rescued and thai l.r0 were believed to be alive. Each hour that patse.i now Is looked upon by tho watchers aa making tho chance of escape lei's.

Tho black damp in the east gallery was the obstacle that proved insurmountable to th men. " . Through it the bodies of thirty-seven men could be seen. Preparations for the taking out of thirty-seven bodies visible to the explorers were rushed When the morbid throng about the mine had thinned. That the bodies might have been taken up earlier was admitted by those in charge of the work, but they thought of tho scenes that would have followed. A crowd numbering thousands, frankly seek ing sensation, pressed against the rope bar ricade until dusk. In the mine level the work of the res cuers went on unceasingly. Relays of eager miners succeeded those whose Btrenerth failed. Those who staggered from the pltmouth were surrounded Instantly and a babel of questions hurled at them. "We tan see the bodies. There are plies of the-m. ' They are dead boys, all dead," was the reply of the first and those who followed gave no more cheering answers. "But they could be living back there, they could be a'lve, Tom, couldn't theyT" came a voice from tho group about one. "No e nance," began the miner, then paused as he saw the trembling hands of the old man who had pressed to, his side. "Why, sure,, didn't the other come out?" was the quick reply, "Don't you worry. Hail be up soon." Itlnek Hump Covers Dead. The pressure of the crowd was not tho only thing which led the rescuers to delay bringing bodies to the surface. Black damp was present where the dead lay In a group, Just as they had fallen when their lives were snuffed out. "Klondike," who had worked among the dead In many mlna disasters, "Bob" Murray, who also holds black damp in considerable contempt, and others are said to have volunteered to re move the bodies to clear the paseage for a fuiUier search for any who' may remain alive In the further reached of the galleries. Conservative counsel prevailed and the hoisting of tho bodfes,' was delayed until the noxious gases had been sucked out tor the big ventilating fans. Among those who, after yesterday's re turn lo then living of men long thought dead, clung throughout the day to the be lief that additional rescues of living men were probable Is Richard Newsam, presi dent of the Illinois Board of Mine Inspec tors. "Scotchmen are the most resourceful miners In the world," said he, "and there are twenty-two of them down there dead or alive. 1 can see no reason why they should not have found some refuge Just as did those who came up yesterday.
