HAERY KEMP.
Kansas Poet Corespondent
In Sinclair Divorce Case.
Photo by American Tress Association.
New York. Aug. 29. Harry Kemp,
rough nnd rcndy traveler and lwot,
whose name Upton Sinclair has
brought Into the divorce proceedings
which ho Is Instituting against his
wife, Mcta Kullcr Sinclair, has added
his version to the story.
Harry Kemp is a thin vlsaged, an
gular young man of twenty-eight,
whoso years so far have been spent In
unusual ways. At the age of sixteen
ho started around the world, working
his way. The trip occupied the next
two years and he came back with con
siderable knowledge of foreign lands.
Ho completed this spring n course at
the University of Kansas.
"I first met Upton Sinclair about four
years ago through some of my versos
published In the American Magazine
and In the Indeiiendent. He was kind
enough to i ike an interest in me be-
cause of what I may call my poetry of i
modern life.
"Mr. Sinclair did all he could to ns
slst me in finding publishers for my
work and generally In getting recog
nition for me. That he was not en
tirely successful In this was not his
fault, but the fault of my poetry. Mrs.
Sinclair 1 first met three years ago In
Battle Creek, Mich.,, where she was In
the sanitarium. I had been working
ion ore boats to get material for poems.
After thut wo exchanged two or three
letters not more, I should say and I
did not see her again until I came east
this spring.
"I worked my way east taking care
of cnttlo on n cattle train, again to get
material for poems. I have written
one poem as a result of the trip, but it
has not yet been published. I hnd two
reasons for coming east. One of them
was to get a publisher for my verse,
the other to see if I could not get a
play I have written produced.
"Upton had given mo an open Invi
tation to visit him at Ardon. I may as
well admit that I had misgivings
about going there. I felt that some
thing wns going to happen, and I made
arrangements for a shack down the
Long Island coast in which to spend
tho summer roughing It Well, any
how, I did accept Upton's invitation
and I did go to Arden. Upton gavo mo
a tent near his cottage to live in. At
Arden Mrs. Sinclair and I were thrown
together n great deal. We eriticlsed
each other's poetry and read together
nnd took long walks. The present sit
uation evolved itself from these things
which I have told you."
Kemp said lie had no direct' reply
to Mr. Sinclair's statement the other
flay bringing his name into tho case.
RIOTERS KILL A MAYOR.
Ignorant Italians Object to Sanitation
to Prevent Disoase.
Naples, Aug. 29. A dispatch from
Cosenzn, the capital of Calabria, re
ports a serious condition of affairs at
Verblcnro, In the northern part of
Unit province. Tin; Ignorant Inhabit
ants of the town have become furious
against the saultnry work of tho phy
Blclaus and Red Cross nurses In trying
to prevent tho spread of cholera and
have started rioting. They believe tho
sanitary measures are intended to
spread the, disease.
The rioters killed Mayor Guaragna
and all the members of his household,
as well us several other oillcials nnd
also two members of tho Red Cross
society. Tliey burned the city hall,
tho prefecture, the pretornl court, tho
telegraph office and the mayor's house

THE SENATE IS
TTING GLO
Republican Majority May
Reduced to Four
BY THE TWO NEWEST STATES
Chances Favor Election of Republican
Senators In New Mexico, but Arizona
Is Nominally Democratic Elections
to Be Held Soon.
When President Taft signed the bill
admitting Arizona and New Mexico to
tho federal Union ho gave approval
to an act that may go a long way
within the next year In wiping out tho
Republican majority in the United
States senate. Four new sonntors will
be added to the roils In January, 1012,
by reason of the admission to state
hood of the two territories. Nominal
ly the senate Is now Republican. As
n matter of fact, the senate Is in the
control of a hybrid majority composed
of insurgents and Republicans.
As at present constituted tho sennte
la composed of fifty Republicans and
forty Democrats. Thoro are two va
cancies, one created by the death of
Scnntor Ilughes of Colorado and the
other arising from the death of Sena
tor Fryo of Maine. The legislatures
of both state are Democratic, and the
vacancies will be filled by members of
that party. Upon the election of sena
tors by the Maine and Colorado legis
latures tho nominal Republican major
ity in the senate will bo reduced from
ten to eight. Should Arizona nnd
New Mexico send four Democratic
senators to Washington the Republic
an majority would be reduced to four.
Elections to fill all state offices will
he held In Arizona and New Mexico at
mi early date. The campaign has al- j
ready begun in Arizonn and New ,
Mexico. So far as Washington is con
corned, interest centers In the selection !
of senators.
Andrew's Prediction. 1
According to Delegate Andrew of
Now Mexico, the new state will go Re- (
publican overwhelmingly. "There is i
not any doubt as to where New Mex
ico stands politically," said Delegate
Andrews. "We will have seventy
three members in our first state legis
lature. I venture to say that of this
number not to exceed twenty will be
Democrats. New Mexico will send
two Republican senators to the United
States sennte."
It Is quite generally agreed that the
nances favpr the election of Republic
an senators In New Mexico, but there
Is some doubt about tho outcome In
Arizona. Arizona is normally Demo
cratic. Although now represented In
congress by a Republican, Arizonn has
luTariably sent Democratic delegates
to Washington. The Democrats aiv
confident of winning tills year, now
over, word has been received here that
the Republicans of Arizona Intend to
put up a stiff fight to turn the new
state Into the Republican column.
This year's election will probably de
termine to some extent whether the
new states shall cast their electoral
votes for the Republican or the Demo
cratic candidate in the presidential
election of 1912. Tho leaders of both
parties arc alive to the situation.
Territories have usually boon grate
ful to the party through whose instru
mentality they have been admitted to
the Union. Tho Arizona-New Mexico
statehood act was approved by n Re
publican president. Republicans say
this fact will give them party prestige
in the elections soon to be held In
Arizona and Now Mexico. Almost uni
formly upon admission to the Union
new states have aligned themselves
with the party whoso represontntlw
lu tho White House approved the net
of admission. Oklahoma was an ex
ception. Although Oklahoma was ad
mitted by an act passed by a Repub
lican congress and approved by n Re
publican president, Oklahoma has re
mained Democratic. It enst Its eleo
toral vote for Mr. Bryan In 1008.
BIRDS SPREAD DISEASE.
Baltimore Physician's Wife Got Diph
theria From Pigeons.
Dr. Francis W. Hartley, a Baltimore
physician, says he has demonstrated
that birds may spread disease. He
got five pigeons suffering from throat
trouble for experiments and kept them
In n coop in his yard near a hammock
in which Mrs. Hartley rested.
Two days later Mrs. Hartley's throat
became Infected, and ho injected 5,000
units of diphtheria antitoxin. This
wns followed by 5,000 more, and it
was not until the third Injection had
been made that the trouble began to
abate.
Tho pigeons wero examined by the
health department, and two reports
wero made. They are to tho effect
that the pigeons have diphtheria.
"I communicated with tho bureau of
animal Industry In Washington," said
Dr. Hartley, "and I received a reply to
tho effect that the simlllarlty between
human diphtheria organisms and avian
diphtheria has not been determined,
and it seems to bo tho opinion that
there is n dpubt -whether an appli
cation of organisms from diseased
fowls will Infect humana.
"All the same, whether there la a
doubt of tho matter In the minds of
scientists or not, Mrs. nartley is slow
iy recovering from a disease that she
nnd I believe wag given to nor by the
Infected pigeons."

CHARLESTON STORM SWEPT.
Ninety Four Mile Wind Does $2,000,000
Damage In South Carolina City.
Charleston, S. C, Aug. 20. Still In
the grip of the storm which has been
raging for twenty-four hours, Charles
ton faces n continuation of the tem
pest It is believed that several lives
have been lost, but with tho storm
still raging It Is impossible to verify
tho many sensational rumors allo.it.
Tho property loss, however, is very
largo, estimated at figures ranging nil
the way from 51,000.000 to $2,000,000.
The telegraph and telephone service is
completely demoralized, the electric
light and power system Is out of com
mission, masses of wreckage cover the
streets and tho business of the city is
paralyzed.
Tho wind reached a velocity of
ninety-four miles an hour, with tho re
sult that scores of houses have been
wrecked. Shipping has also suffered
greatly, many largo schooners having
been blown ashore. The lower sec
tions of tho city jycro entirely inundat
ed for tlie period of eighteen hours,
caused by tho high tide blown in by
the wind. Tho train service to and
from the city Is demoralized on ac
count of tho tracks having been wash
ed nway.
Shipping Is paralyzed. Tho pilot
boats which arc stationed near Sulli
van's island were compelled to seek
shelter. Tho Clyde liner Mohawk,
from Jacksonville bound for New
York, was compelled to romaln In her
berth. Wireless Operator C. L. Jones
of tho steamer stated that he had just
received a message from the steam
ship Apacho somewhere off the North
Carolina coast Baying that tho vessel
was delayed on account of high winds.
Great damage l5 feared for the rico
and cotton industries. Tho fertilizer
mills are also badly damaged. Tho
trestle adjoining the Mount Pleasant
ferry wharf was blown down, killing
J. M. Smith of Columbia and Motor
man Cutter of the Consolidated Elec
tric company of Charleston and se
verely Injuring two others.
A. J. Coburn, Southern railway en
gineer, was killed by a roof flying
across tho railroad yard and bitting
him In the back. Tho others among
tho dead are all negroes, whose names
aro not known. Several schooners
blown upon the beach are lying help
loss, with tho wind still blowing with
hurricane fury,
Sullivan's Island Is completely In
undated, and great anxiety was felt
for tho people who have homes there.
The houses rocked like cradles, some
left their foundations. Peoplo had to
stand on tables, with furniture dash
ing all about the Inside of tho houses
nnd logs battering tho outsldes. Tho
soldiers from Fort Moultrlo did he
roic work iu rescuing families, the
people being taken to the government
reservation. It will bo hours before
nil the details of tho damogo done In
tho city can bo obtained.
Tho storm seems to have centered
over Charleston and vicinity. It Is
fearod that tho greatest loss of llfo
has occurred on tho coast islands, but
It will bo days beforo tho details are
known.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Whey For Calves.
Whey has the casein ns well ns the
butter fat removed and hence is a
much less valuable feed than sklmmlll;.
A good grain ration must be carefully
selected as a supplementary feed. T'.w
calf to bo fed on whey should receive
whole milk for the first week or two.
It can then be changed to sklmmlll:.
If this Is not available it should bo
continued on whole milk. A calf will
do better not to recelvo whey for live
to six weeks. It will then take tan
days to two weeks more to complete
the change to whey. Calves will han
dle about tho samo nmount of whey us
skimmllk viz, fourteen to sixteen
pounds dally per calf. An excessive
amount may cause undue largeness of
tho paunch. The feeder will need to
give more care and attention to calves
fed on whey than to those fed mill;.
Tho grain for whey fed calves should
bo selected for its constipating effect
so ns to counteract tho tendency to
scours. Oats, sorghum seed, shelled
corn or middlings (as part of tho ra
tion) are good for this purpose. Avoid
soy beans and other grains that have
a loosening effect. D. H. Otis, Experi
ment Station, Mndlson. Wis.
Moisture In Butter.
The best way to avoid excessive
moisture In butter Is to churn tho
cream at ns low a temperature as pos
sible until the granules aro at least
the size of wheat kernels. Then after
drawing off the buttermilk add cold
water and allow this to stand until the
butter is firm. By drawing off this
wnsh water and allowing the churn to
drain until the granules are dry the
hard butter can bo worked without
salt sufficiently to bring the water con
tent of the finished product below lb
per cent. The secret in. getting the
'moisture out of butter is either to get
the granules firm and hard by clear
water, then drain off tho moisture as
much as possible In tho churn, or to
add salt to such hard granular butter
and then work the dry salt into the
butter as much as it is possible with
out spoiling the grain of tho butter.
SOME PERTINENT
SILO REMINDERS
Important Tilings to Observe In
Making Ensilage.
Two of the most important things
to remember in making ensilage are to
have the crop mature enough to re
tain its own juice in the silo and to
keep without developing strong odors,
says the American Cultivator. If the
corn Is not ripe enough It Is sure to
make strong smelling silage. Tho silo
must bo tight and tho packing so
close that the air is thoroughly ex
pelled when tho corn is put In nnd
does not get in afterward. If from
slack packing or from the buckling or
springing of the silo walls, which of
ten happens, air Is retained or gets In
later tho losses may be 'so largo as to
make tho whole thing a poor Invest
ment. When selecting lumber with which
to build a stavo silo or In purchasing a
ready mado one, look to It that every
stavo Is sound. Sapwood and worm
eaten pieces should never be used In
silo construction.
Two small silos, as regards diame
ter, aro more economical to have than
one largo one, iu that tho silage can
be fed with less waste from a small
slio.
If one knows how many cows he Is
going to keep he can figure pretty ac
curately how largo a silo he needs.
Thirty pounds of sllngo is nbout the
amount required by a cow each day,
and if It Is to bo fed 200 days in the
year that means that sho will con
sumo about three tons of silage. Ac
cordingly all that Is necessary Is to
find out how much a silo of different
dimensions will hold. If it Is only fif
teen feet In diameter and twenty-four
feet high seventy-six tons will lie Its
capacity, but add six feet more to the
height and it will hold 103 tons, and If
ten feet ore added It will bold 131
tons.
Whitewash a Disinfectant.
Whitewash on the poultry house
makes tho houso look neater and hat)
a purifying effect ujion tho Interior
when properly applied. Whitewash Is
better for this purpose than paint, but
of course It must be applied more fre
quently. Selecting Egg Layors.
Good laying hens, llko profltnblo
dairy cows, are not found In one breed
nor nlone in a few breeds. They vary
according to type nnd Individuality
nnd should bo selected with great
care.
The Dairy Herd Loafer.
The actual loss in tho handling of
ono "loafer" In tho dairy herd In tho
course of a year will often more than
pay for. a Babcock milk tester, which
can be bought at between ?4 and 55.
Change the Sheep Pastures.
Change your sheep to fresh pastures
as often ns possible, even if after a
est of two weeks you go back to the
old nastures.
PURCHASE PACIFIC ISLANDS.
The Unltsd States Adds to Panama
Canal Possessions.
Colon, Aug. 29. -The dominions of
of the United States have been extend
ed by tho imrchnse of four Islands In
the I'nclfle. They aro n-ar tho termi
nus of the Pannnin canal and wero
bought In part from tho Pacific Mall
steamship lino. A part Interest lu thnni
was nlso held by tho Panama railroad,
of which tho United State owns all
the stock.
The Islands are Flamenco, Culobra,
Naos and Peiico. The deal was ef
fected by the Isthmian canal commis
sion after negotiations extending ovef
several years. The government's de
sire to ncqulre the Islands came
through tho necessity of building em
bankments to protect the end of the
canal from the heavy currents and tho
tides. '
