Planting Potatoes with Trees.

A lady friend informs us of the re-
markable growth of some shade trees
planted in front of her residence in
this city, one spring few years ago.
She says 1t was due TO the fact that a
lot of refuse potatoes from the cellar
were thrown into the hole made for the
trees. The potatoes sprouted. and made
the ground around the roots OF the
trees loose and porous and. as the pota'
toes were not dug, but left to decay
the soil was kept moist during the dry
months of summer and early fall. This
is n valuable hint and should be acted
upon by those who plant trees and
shrubs In the spring. The trouble witt
spring planted trees usually Is the dry
! summers. Heavy mulching is grea
help. but the potato method is better

TRYING TO KEEP FROM JAIL
OleOmargarine Dealers Counsel
Moves to Delay Sentence.
Proposes to Carry Their Cases, as
Well as Chapman's, to the
Supreme Court.

The Chapman case and the recent oleo-
marga rine decisions Were mUCi-disCussed
subjects this morning before Judge Cole.
Several OF the convicted oleomargarinc
dealers were brought into court for sentence
in accordance with the decision OF the
court of fappeals affirming the decree pfthe
lower court.
Attorney Harry E. Davis represented
the defendants and strongly opposed Dis
trict Attorney Birncy's motion for imme
diate sentence.
Il have been buSily cnga ged with Judge
Wilson in preparing petition in the Chap
man case, which IL is intended to take
before the United States Supreme Court
again. ThiStimeona writofhabeascOrpus,"
said Mr.. Davis.
Continuing, he explained that it was
proposed TO take the oleomargarine cases
to the Supreme Court in like manner and
ii was desired to present all at tn.
same time.
These men cannot pay the large fines
imposed by the court" said Mr.. Davis,
and they ask the Indulgence of the
court that their petition might be pre-
pared"
II sec no relation between these cases
and the Chapman case. which has been
mdae the scapegoat long enough" ar
gued Mr. Birncy. These matters have
stood for some time
Mr. Davis said: Il will guarantee to
have them here ready for sentence IN a
week. By that time | will be ready to
present petitions for writs of habeas
corpus"
Judge Cole said he thought that both
cases were in similar situation and
there would be no impropriety to allow
them to wait until petitions could be
prepared. There was no mandate yet how
ever. irl the Chapman case and nothing
could be done until a mandate was issued.
II was suggested, however, that man
date would be given before Monday, and,
accordingly, Judge Cole allowed the oleo-
margarine cases to stand until next Mon
day at 10 O'Clock, when Elverton Chap
man, the sugar broker, will surrender,
and writs for their confinement will be
issued at once.
Petitions for writS of habeas corpus
will be presented at the same time, and
1t Is expected will be granted, SO that
before the Jail van leaves the City Hall the
prisoners will be free, and their case will
again be before the Supreme Court.

ECHO OF THE SHEARS CASE

EPISODE IN QUEENS ALLEY
Abraham Page Accosted Two Pa

His Reference to the Death OF
Shears-His Honor Gave Full Sen
terce of S25 or sixty Days.

Judge KiInball fired a uble-shotted gun

of antagoniZing police officers, when ne
gave Abraham Page, colored man, the
full penalty OF the law for acting disorderiy
Sunday evening in Queens alley, and IL
WIS fortunate both for Policemen Lynch
and Tier and the prisoner, that the oftenSe
was so mild.
Page, used the most incendlary language
toward the officers. ana fIoin their tcstl-
mony it appears he was melted to DO so by
the Killing OF London Shears at the hands
of Policeman Curry.
There was the wtdest variance tStwoen
the testimony OF the prisoner and the police
man, so entirely different that to the Judge
II was conclusive that Page was not telling
the trL,h.
sunday afternoon Lynch and Tier were
passing through the alley, and met Page
standing by pump 1t was then the trouble
occurred.
As we passed. said Lynch 10 the court
this morning, Page said. There goes two
policemen who are going TO arrest
somebody l turned back and asked HIM
what he said, and he repeated the Ian
guage, saying we couldI' make London
Shears case out OF him, so we arrested hlnl
for being discrdariy.'
Lynch, continuing, said Page struggled
with him all the way to the box, and IN
doing so fell. cutting his head.
The prisoner, however, alleged an tn
trelv different reason for the slight abra-
sion on his scalp. His lawyer, Attorney
Amber, put him on the stand, and the
story he related of the arrest is almost
incredible, in view of the policeman tes-
timOny.
II was dnnkin' at the pump" said
Page. a Inedum-siZcd man, with blood
slot eyes and complexion Il dirty yellow,
when desc officers says ter me, 'doan'
you fan in, ole man. and / says, 'Io'

grabs me an gins hittin' me Oher de
haid wild dcre sticks, juTublin' me long ter
de box. an er cluhbn' me in de waEGln,
an l amt done muffin"
Judge Kimbdll received his statement
doubtfully: turning to Prosecutor Pugh, he
said. Does the District attorney desire
To say anything?'
Yes. l de- said MIR. Pugh. This is
mere than an ordinary case, and / think
police officers should be protected from
such attacks"
Mr. Tuph iutimatCd the occurrence was
the result Of the Incorporate remarks made
over the Shears shooting.
Mr. Amber first called the attention
of the Judge to the fact Of mis- client being
arrested hcforc the funeral Or Shears had
taken place, and said he desired To place
himself on record as having no sympathy
with such sentiments.
Judge Kimball nodded his head approx
ingly as he said: Il concur with the Dis
trict attorney This is no ordinary case,
and | shall give Page the extreme pen
atty of the law, $50 fine. or sixty days
III the workhouse / shall always uphold
