Mill Be Discovered.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. (Special Tele
gram.) If any attempt Is made to Iorimer
ize the legislatures of New Tork or New
Jersey in the pending senatorial contests,
there Is likely to be fireworks Immediately
and there will be work for grand Juries.
It became known today that both at
Trenton and at Albany detectives are keep
ing careful watch on the managers of
senatorial campaigns and on members of
the two legislatures so that any attempt
at bribery or the use of other Improper In
fluences may be promptly discovered and
proof sufficient to go to the courts may be
secured. Who are employing these sleuths
does not appear, but that they are on the
ground does not admit of doubt. At Al
bany there are not only private detectives,
but central office men from New York are
also on the ground. Insurgent and regular
democrats and republicans all are under
surveillance.
InDnrgenla Make DUcsterr, '
Several of the insurgents have discovered
that every move they make Is watched
and that they cannot leave the Ten Kyck
hotel or the beaten paths of Albany with
out being shadowed by detectives. They
have also learned that Senator Roosevelt
Is also kept well Informed of all move
ments. It la said that some of these
detectives are in the employ of the in
surgent leaders, who have set watch upon
the members of their own band so there
can be no chance of tampering.
Senator Roosevelt said today he knew
nothing about the employment of detec
tives, but certain of his followers make
no hones of the fact that, they are being
constantly watched.
It Is believed this detective surveillance
la he result of the Irresponsible actions of
a bunch of Tammany "sharpshooters" and
petty lobbyists, who have been at work ful
some adya trying to establish friendly re
latione with some of the bolters.
Xs Kvldence Vet Disclosed.
No instance of a direct offer for a bribe
haa yet come to light. The theory upon
which these "sharpshooters" have Invaded
Albany is purely a speculative one, for
which nobody In authority Is responsible.
The hope of the speculator la lhat if he
can make a deal with an Insurgent legisla
tor for his vote, he may be able to find a
profitable market for It before the dead
lock Is broken.
While no one seems to know what the
three central office men are doing here,
there Is belief In some quarters that they
are here at the requst of Murphy to watch
these speculative "sharpshooters" and pre
vent any scandal which might unjustly be
charged to Sheehan and Murphy,
Uh Mnrphy Expects Walt.
There Is every reason to believe that
Boss Murphy haa made up his mind that
the legislature Is In for a long deadlock
He has Intimated to some of his friends
that it may last two weeks longer. The impaired.
work Murphy and Bheehan are doing is Representative Martin of South Dakota

While this campaign Is being conducted
by Sheehan and Murphy, the
Murphy, the Insurgents
are not Idle. They are attempting by sim
ilar methods to Induce the governor to de
mand the withdrawal of tfheehan.
At Trenton the employment of the sleuths
Is due to the rumors that a great sum of
money was to be expended for the aid of
one candidate. The employers of the detec
tives are not known, hut It is understood
that two of the sleuths are stationed at
Trenton and that others are shadowing leg
islators who might be tempted to accept a
bribe.

It Is reported that one of the detectives
employed worked on the Lorimer case In

The new regulations which have caused
what Representative Hitchcock of Ne-

the farmer to lay aside his prejudice
against scientific methods of producing
crops, declared Mr. Chamberlain yester
day afternoon. In a brief lecture at the
land Show. Mr. Chamberlain, a resident
of Brookings, S. !., is associate editor
of the Dakota Farmer, published at Aber

a writer and lecturer, and la devoting much
of his time to Inducing the farmers of the
western country ' to cast aside primitive
methods of farming and mix brains in with
their work.
Continuing, he spoke to the farmer, tell
ing him In plain terms that he la too
prone to "hoot" at anything suggestive
of science. "Scientific methods of farming,"

to meet the conditions that will come with
further Increases.
Producing; lore Grains.
"Notwithstanding the fact that Iowa
showed a loss In population during the last
decade the production of grains has In
creased In that state. What does this show.
It shows that with scientific study and the
application of brains lhat the Iowa farmer
has been able to Increase the amount of
his products, despite the falling off in
1 population, Science Is the only thing that
will put farming where It belongs and
place it In the high rank to which It be
longs among the sclent I tin followlngs. The
farmi r. It seems, has not yet learned to
work otherwise than by the sweat of his
brow."
In prefacing his remarks Mr. Chamber
lain sMike of tin' gradual tendency of Ihe
farmer westward, closing with the remark
that Nebraska Ii now the granary of the
world. Because of Ihe restlesaneaa of the
crowds, all bent on seeing even thing In
the shortest possible time. Mr. Chamber
lain confined his talk within a period of
a few minutes, but in that time he told
a great many Interesting things to the
farmers.
