WASHINGTON, Aug. Zia—The presi-

made against his superiors by L. S.

the general land office in the north-

Mr. Giavis has presented a report

as the "Cunningham claims" to valu-

so had acted entirely independent or

necessarily sealed against any outside

resulting from his ill-health and rigid

it apparently required a considerable
exercise of nervous force on Mr. Harr-

on his condition, asserted tin-It he was
feeling better and outlined plans for
the further dcvelopcnwnt of the rail-
road properties under his control. Al~
though Mr. ilnrriman talked about his
railroad plane with manifest. interest.
he declined to discuss the reported
plan for the secretion of tho assets
of the Union Pacific Railroad. which
has been reported as being in pros-
pect. “The only thing that concerns
me," he said, “is the IlcvclopI-mcnt and

eued by the failure to find, in the
Washington laboratory. any evidence
of.poison.
After some weeks of feeding. how-
ever, it_ was noticed. somewhat and-
denly. that one or two of the cattle
stumbled as they walked. A series of
symptoms followed rapidly upon those
ilrst noticed. and in a short time our
animals began to die. Before the end
of the season nearly all the animals
to which had been fed any consider-
able amount of loco were dead, while
those that were kept in the loco-free
pasture remained prefectly well. Tho
first season' s work proved conclusively
that the stoekmen were right in as-
crlblng poisonous pmflea to the
plants. Deco would kill. and the man-
ner of death showed those symptoms
which the stockmen claim to be char-
atceristic bf loooed animals. Further
work in the Washington laboratories
was commentary to the field work.
and the demonstration was complete
of the poisonous character of the loco
weeds. '
