FORMER FRENCH - -'
PREMIER FACES
TREASON CHARGE
Joseph Calliau Goes to Trial Before
French Senate Sitting As High
Court in Conn ;; ion With
Famous War Lirama.
ACCUSED OF PLOTTING
AS HUNS AT PARIS GATE
Decision to Try Caillai'x Result of
Senate Committee Investigation;
Bolo Pasha Malvy and Oth-
ers Were In the Plot.
By United Press.
Paris Feb. 17. -The French sen-
ate sitting as a high court convened
this morning to begin the trial of
Joseph Callaux former premier who
Is charged with treason while his
country was at war with Germany.
The penalty on conviction is usually
death.
The slate has summoned 51 wit-
' . neeses and it is expected that the
trial will last several weeks as the
senate will be forced to give some
time to legislative matters. The
t-enate will sit three days as a court
and three days as a legislative body.
The trial probably will be the last
of Importance in the long serlei of
court proceedings connected with tho
complicated drama of treason and in-
trigue by which the French govern-
ment charged such men as Colo
Pasha Louis J. Malvy Pierre he-
noire and Caillaux attempted to car-
ry on a defeatist campaign when
Germany was battering hardJ3t ft
the gates of Verdun. .They wanted
Germany to come so near to win-
ning the war that Caillaux as lead-
er! of the enemies of the administra-
tion at Paris might bo called to pre-
serve the republic thus embarrass
Ing Premier Cletnenceau.
The trial of Caillaux was decided
upon on September 16 last by the
French senate conduit tee investigat-
ing the defeatist movement. The
basis of the charges against the for-
mer premier as summed up in the
formal report of the senatorial com-
mittee corresponding to an indict-
ment in American court procedure
follows.
"Political notes discovered in a
Florence safe throw a flood of light
on M. Caillaux's real Intentions. They
prove he had conceived a plan to
seize power when on making the
public believe the Germans were go
ing to take Verdun and win the war
has followers would put him for-
ward as France's saviour. These doc-
uments cannot form the basis of a
charge) but justice has the right and
it is its duty to lake account of
Ihem.
The indictment then pictures Cail-
laux from the time he left the army
as a paymaster in which he had en-
1'sled a few months previous and
follows him through all his plot-
tings. It shows him with an infinite
capacity and desire for labor but al-
ways directed to the ends of his un-
scrupulous ambitions.
He .said he went to South America
on an obscure mission for the gov-
ernment and while there met Count
Luxburg German ambassador and
Rave him his views on the war for
Iransniisison to the German govern-
ment. Then came his operations
with Marx of Mannheim who it was
alleged furnished cash toward the
defeatist campaign being waged in
Bonnet Rouge under direction of
Louis J. Malvy. Then there were
Implications of a collusion with Bolo
Tasha.
It was Clemenceau who tricked the
master plotter. lie started off with
speech in the senate against Malvy
minister of finance who was backed
1-y Caillaux. One after another of
the alleged traitors fell under the
merciless expose of the administra-
tion until on January 13. 1918 after
lie had piled up volumes ofevidence
nsainst himself during his testimony
In the1 trials of Malvy Humbert
nolo and others he was arrested and
lodged In the prison de Sante
charged with treason.
Joe Ball left this morning for F.
Worth where he will attend to busi-
fcess for a few day.

AS SILAGE SAYS
Tells of Success in Filling Silos With
Russian Variety of Sunflower;
Declares Good Dairy Food;
Very Prolific.
Tho suggestion that Grady county
farmers use sunflowers with which
to fill thelf silos was offered today
by Fred W. fee of Grand Junction
Colo. wao Is spending a row days
here on luijile.is.
Mr. Coe states that in Colorado
tho farmers and stockmen me using
sunflowers In tSiis manner with ex-
ceedingly good results. He stales
that they are not usiyg the wild
sunflower but the Hussian variety
which flower may at times be seen
In gardens grown by '.some as purely
ornamental.
"Tho plan came to Colorado from
the Wyoming agricultural experi-
ment station was tried with a great
deal of doubt by some found to be
the real goods and now everybody is
using it" said Mr. Coe.
"We find that fclie Russian sun
flower will produce '20 tons jier acrq.
and in Colorado we raise two crops
a season. We plant the flowers in
rows like corn and cultivate irns n
crop. Of course we have plenty or
sunshine uml we .irrigate. In Okla-
homal'it appears " to . Die that; you
could raise two crops as you have u
longer season than we do In Colora-
do. "We have not fully determined
whether or not t'lio sunflower makes
a fattening silage but it has been
demonstrated with us th.it It Is a
good dairy cow food. 1 know one
man who handles fine Jersey dairy
itock. He was feeding silage niade
from corn and fine corn at that as
it would have made 80 bushels per
acre. Ills supply of corn silage was
exhausted and Hie had to start using
the silage from the sunflower. The
result -was that his cows picked up
in their milk.
"Stock men are building silos on
i large scale and are going in for
the thing in wholesale fashion. Sniw
l. ....... ........
that will hold fro mi 301) to 4 CO tons
and are planning to use sunflowers
to fill them. 1 would .like to see t 'e
proposition tried out here as. I be-
lieve the results would he good."
