THE VINEYARDS OF CHAUTAUQUA.
Destined to Take the Place OF Hungary In
Producing Wine.


BUFFALO. May 20-James W. Marvin. for
merly resident Of this State. but more re-
Gently engaged with his father and brother in
tho wine industry In Tokay. Hungary. has
spent q week In looking over the vineyards Of
ChautauQua county. which he thinks is des-
tined to take the place OF Hungary as o wine-
producing territory. He is on his way to the
Worlds Fair. where he is to take charge Of an
exhibit from Tokay. Tho latitude in the
Chautauoua belt region. he says. is the
same as Tokay. and there is no rea-
son why the vines cannot be cultivated
SO as to produce tho same amount OF alcohol
and Juice as in Tokny. The Hungarian vine-
yards have been practically destroyed by phyl-
loxera and now wine from Italy is brought
there as n substitute. But the Italian product
does not meet the requirements. as 1t turns
He believes that IL wine can be produced here
OF o quality as good. or nearly as good. as that
at Tokny. 1t will have n ready European mar
ket. The California vineyards are In danger
OF being DESTROYED as the Hungarian vines
have been. and NJ: Marvin feels sure that
tho whole Of ChautauIua county can
DO turned into VINEYARDS without he
the product in the ,Luropean market. From
appears to be confident that It will produce a
wine which will be popular In the market. The
cost OF transportation OF the Italian wine to
Tokay is twice what it would be from New York
city to the same place.

Georgia Moonshiners RS to BE Tried for Murder r
In Nashville.

In Nashville.
ATLANTA. May 20.-The trial OF two revenue
prisoners from Georgia on the charge OF mur-
der in United States Court will be tho feature
OF the next judicial week in Nashville. The
movement to have the Federal Court assume
such disputed jurisdiction originated here.
The lawyers for the mountaineers will rely
on decision by Judges Lamar and Newman
to show that the Federal Court has no juris-
diction. The original intention OF the United
States Government was to try these noun
taineers in the State courts for murder In tho
try them as for conspiracy to injure revenue
officers in the Federal courts. leaving 1t on
tirely to the States authorities. as heretofore,
t. deal with them for the murder.
But CoL. Chairman happened to mention this
fact to l!r. Ed. A: Angler: then Assistant Dis
s"rsa Who said that f he peleved the nen on
gould he tried and punished for murder In the
Federal Court at Nashville: and at Col Chap
man S request Mr.. Angler wrote out his views
to Washington and approved and instructions
Issued to rress the case as TO- all its features
murder and conspiracy both. in the United
States courts. A demurrer to the indictm ents
was iilcd. but Judge Jackson sustains Cd the
indictments
It was because OF Judge Jacksons decision
n this case that Senators Isham g. Harris and
". f. Bates of Tennessee at first Kicked" at
Judge .lHcEsons promotion to the Supreme
bench. but withdrew their objections. salts
fled that the autonomy of State rights and the
state courts would be preserved.
1t has long been supposed that the Federal
courts only had jurisdiction in cases Of MUIR
der where the homicide occurred on the high
seas. on territory ceded to the United states,
this case ut Nashville is sustained. the sphere
OF the Federal courts is greatly broadened.

On the oath OF May. in the year 1908. Joseph
Carpenter OF Providence. l. l.. bought from
the Matinecock Indians a tract OF land near
the head OF Muskito Cove on Long Island. Ho
probably gave them some frewater for It, or
something that wasn't worth much more. and
the Indians probably congratulated themse elves
upon having got the best OF the white man.
In 1884 Muskito Cove became Glen Cove. and
by that name it has been known ever since.
This coming Wednesday will be the 225th
anniversary OF the purchase. The citizens OF
Glen Cove will celebrate it There will be
singing and lag raising and sreechmak ing
and parades and refreshments. and every
body will congratulate everybody else on the
fact that Glen Cove was purchased
Some Of the orators will call attention to the
changes that have occurred since old Joseph
Carpenter padded across the Sound. They
will tell their hearers that the noble red men
have nearly all disappeared from Long Island,
and that farmers have takon their place.
Where once wigwams stood and s1uaws
labored. while the noble rod men dozed in the
shade. fine abodes and starch factories now
flourish. Where the dusky lords OF the soil
once sold their lands and wicwams and suuaws
