St. Paul, August 20.— (Special)— There will be much in the pro- ceedings of the second National Conservation Congress to interest the farmers of the United States and a large number of the men who till the nation’s soil, produce its food and raise its horses, cattle, sheep and swine are expected to be in attendance. James Wilson, secretary of agricul- ture, is to be one of the chief speakers. His subject will be “What the Gov- ernment Has Done for the Farmer.” This veteran farmer who has been a cabinet officer longer than any other man ever held office in the president’s official family, is sure to have some- thing interesting to say to the tillers of American soil. Each local organization in every county, city, town or village in the United States is entitled to representation in the congress by three delegates, Each state or- ganization of farmers is entltied to send five delegates, Already the presidents of scores of these or- ganizations have sent in the names of their delegates to Thomas R, Shipp, executive secretary and within the next week scores of others are expected. The officers ol the congress are particularly anxious for a large representation of farmers and have taken great pains that the program shall con- tain much thst will interest the farmer. Walter H. Page, editor of World’s Work, a member of Roosevelt’s Country Life commission, is to speak on “The Farmer and the Nation.” James J. Hill, chairman of the Great Northern railway’s board -of directors, a man who has done prob- ably more than any other toward the development of the northwest, is to speak on “Soils, Crops, Food and Clothing.” Gifford Pinchot, Henry Wallace, Dr. W. J. McGee, of the bureau of soils, department of agriculture, and Dr. Liberty Hyde Dailey, dean of the agricultural college, Cornell Univeriity, are among others who will deliver ad- dresses of particfilar interest to the farmer. The probable revival of the Country Life commission by some of the men mentioned and others who are coming to the congress is another feature that will interest the farmer, while the State Fair, the greatest of its kind in the world will be open during conser- vation week, PAPER MAY BE PUNISHED Action Against London Chronicle for Printing Crippen “Confession.” London, Aug. 20.—The court of criminal appeal, upon application by counsel representing Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, granted a rule calling upon the London Daily Chronicle to show cause why a writ of attachment should not be issued for contempt of court. The alleged contempt consists of a story, printed Aug. 5, suggesting that Dr. Crippen had poisoned his wife. The article declared that Dr. Crippen had confessed or admitted to Inspec- tor Dew, who arrested him upon ar- rival in Canadian waters, that he had killed his wife. Counsel for Dr. Crippen produced a cable from Dr. Crippen denying that he had made any such confession, IOWA MAYOR LOSES HIS JOB Ousted by Court for Neglect of Duty and Intoxication.

JURY “APPROACHERS” BUSY More Veniremen Called for Browne Case Dismissed. Chicago, Aug. 20.—State’s Attorney Wayman admitted that he had identi- fied two of the alleged investigators who he declared are working for the defense in the' Lee O’Neil Browne case. It is charged that they are op- eratives of a private detective agency which has 100 men at work for Browne. Counsel for the defense say that none of their investigators has been asked to see the families of veniremen. Judge Kersten’s pessimism as to conditions affecting the case was in- creased when the seventh panel of veniremen was brought into court. De- spite the widespread publicity given to his declaration that talking of the case to a venireman is a felony ‘four members of the panel sald members of their families had been questioned concerning themselves, their politics, affiliations, etc. They were dismissed.

P PATTEN WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT Card Sharpers Try to Coax ~ Him Into Game. RETURNS ~ FROM EURUPE} Away from home? Retired Speculator Marked as Victim by Gang of Half Dozen Men, Who Made Trip With Him Across Atlan- tic for Purpose of Getting Him Into a “Little Game”—Says He Is En- grossed in College Work. New York, Aug. 20.—Successfully eluding the meshes of card sharpers, who endeavored to ensnare him on the voyage across the ocean, James A. Patten, the retired grain operator of Chicago, returned on the White Star liner Adriatic from his trip abroad. Mr. Patten did not know, for a time, that he had been marked as a victim by gampblers on the trip over. A gang of half a dozen of them boarded the Adriatic with the purpose of getting Mr. Patten into a “little game” and plucking him. They supposed that because Mr. Patten is a board of trade member he is an all round sport and did not know that he is a deacon in the church. For the first three days out from Liverpool the card sharps hung around Mr. Patten like leeches. - Then, seeing that he was not to be caught, they turned their attention to other passengers, but the warning had been sounded by the officers of the ship. Mr. Patten refused to talk of finan- cial conditions and said he was chiefly interested in university matters in Chicago and that the work was taking up most of his time. LABOR TO FIGHT DALZELL Gompers Says Pennsylvanian, Should Be Defeated. Pittsburg, Aug. 20.—Although Sam- uel Gompers refused to say whether the American Federation of Labor would support Robert Black as an in- dependent candidate for congress against Congressman John Dalzell it is generally believed here that Black will become a candidate and will be supported by labor. Regarding Dalzeli, Gompers said: “It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to help defeat Congressman Dalze]l for re-election. His actions in congress have been absolutely irimi- cal to the jaterests of the people, not only of his own district, but of the entire country. “I will do anything in my power to help in Dalzell’s defeat, but the best way to .fight has not been decided upon yet.” It is expected that Gompers will re- turn here .again soon, when a plan of action will be formulated.
