Burns was forced to give up anoth5r pro- ject d visit that would have been of great interest to him. That is the convention of observers and met e0Iologists to be held in Milwaukee on August 2 to 20. Many of the attaches of the department of meteorology at Washington will be in a5tendancs. MT. Burns is enthusiastic in his work and att nded the first convention at Omaha
 Chi f Wilis Moore. of the bureau will preside, and 1t is expected that much ben iij to the service win result from the meeting. This will be the sec ond gathering its h.uj. The frs; was at Omaha thr years aS1, when some rema kab,e met orolo gical conditions were noted which caused Secretary Wilson to cali a conference.
 Representatives of the Canadian and M Xican weather offices will attend tha convention as well as members of boards of trade and cha nbers cf com merce, whose members are financially pendent. in a measure, upon W ather forecasts. In discussing the conven- ti1n and the work of the weather bu- reau Chief Moore said recently:
 ''rhe daily forecast is really the least of th worl, of the weathe bureau yet il is the work by which the bureau is usually judged. The excellent work of the bureau is in forecasting great ma rne storms which destroy life and property, in giving warning of sev,re cold waves. which are also destructive to property, and in telling when tn frosts are likely tQ nip the oranges of Florida or the garden truck of the farmers along the lower Atlantic coast, or the cranberry crop of Wisconsin or the tobacco fields of Kentucky and the far south
 "It is for tha storm warnings along the great lakes and the coasts and the service to the agriculturists that the service is appreciated, As an evid =nce of this 1t Is only necessary to point to the fact that the estimates for the work Of the bureau are always allowed by congress, and in many instances in- creased. The appropriation for the current y5ar is Sl,l0O.OOO. Many appli- cations are being made to, congress by various industries of the country for the extension of the service"

ARDENT LOVERS SUICIDE.
Writes His Girl a Letter and
Then Shoots Himself.

James Scanlon, twenty-six years old, of
No. 315 East Sixteenth street, New York,
attempted to commit suicide at a quarter
past seven o'clock last evening by shoot
ing himself in the right temple in the
Erie Railroad yard at Ninth and Pro-

true, for I am about to forget you now.

PURSUED BY A HOO boo
West Bergen Baseball Club Has to
Move It's Ground Agains.

A hoodoo seems to be pursuing the West
Side Baseball Club. Some time ago the
clubs grounds on Culver avenue were
purchased by outsiders and the team was
Obliged to look for new field. They
found one north. of the Newark branch
of the Central Railroad and spent in the
neighborhood of $500 improving it. A
grandstand was constructed at a cost of
$3.50 Now the club has received another
notice to move the grounds having been
purchased by the Spauling & Jennings
steel works. The club played it's last
game on the grounds Labor Day. The
day following workmen began to tear
down the grandstand and make way for
large buildings which will be constructed
upon the site. The club sold the grand
stand for $50.
Considerable discussion has arisen as TO
where the club will look for another
field. Many members believe that if West
Bergenites want local team they should
bear the expense OF providing new
grounds and improving them. 1t is more
than likely that a subscription will be
taken up among the residents. Should
enough money be collected the players
say they will remain a local team. Other
wise they will disband and join other
clubs.

cellent one served last year. Tickets in

KELLY DISCHARGED FROM JAIL
Judge Blair Sets at Liberty One OF
the Colonial Insuranos Conspirator

Judge Blair in the Court of General
Sessions this morning. on motion of Law
yer Joseph M. Noonan, ordered the re-
lease of Thomas J. Kelly, who was, sem
fenced to three months in the County Jail
on his conviction for conspiracy to de-
fraud the Colonial Insurance Company by
insuring, as the agent of the company,
the life of Anthony Winston, of Union
Hill, who it was thought was dying of
consumption at the time.
DIR. Richard Jahr and Undertaken Will
lam Necker who were convicted jointly
with Kelly, appealed their cases, but the
latter at once began the service of the
term to which he was sentenced
Lawyer Noonan told the Court that
Kelly had served the three months and
also part of the costs. He said Kelly was
without funds and that he thought the
ends of justice would be subserved by
allowing him to go in the custody of the
Probation Officer.
Judge Blair so directed, and Kelly will
pay the fine which was imposed upon him
to that official.

In the finishing off of the baskets the
Hopi woman is required by inexorable
custom to symbolize her own physical
state says an article in the 'Chautau-
guam There are three styles of finish,
known respectively as "the flowing gate.
1.-THE open gate" and "the closed gate.
The open gate shows the ends of the
inner grass cut off and the basket finished
by tightly winding the wrapping thread
of yucca over them, leaving about half an
inch exposed This is the style of finish
required of a matron capable of bearing
children.
The closed gate, as its name implies,
shows the inner grass completely inclosed
in yucca wrapping, and Is the style of
finish observed oy the barren married Wo-
men and widows.
Ncr are all these facts all that are con-
nected with these singular and interesting
social revelation. Recently l learned that
by a strange law of correlation between
symbol and thing symbolized existent in
the Hopi minG, the simple hearted maiden
or mother weaver implicitly believes that
# she closes the flowing or open"
gate OF her basf7et, she produces a sbmi-
lar result in her own condition, which
thus precluGes her, in the one sense, from
becoming a happy wife, and in the other
deprives her of the further Joys of moth
erhood For the unsophisticated and un-
civilized sheathen" Hopi woman marriage
without many children is unhappy and

vacancies in the committee, several OF
which exist in Hoboken and North Hud-
