Park Commissioner Wilcox has appointed
a commission of experts TO examine the soil
of Central Park under the supervision Of
Samuel Parsons, Jr. the depart ment's
landscape architect. The commission is
TO determine how much the soil has de-
terioraied and as To the best m,thod of
replenishing it.
Mr. Parsons declared last spring that the
park soil was played out and unless some
thing was speedily done 10 improve il there
would soon not be any park left. The soil
in many parts of the park is thin and does
not contain sufficient nourishing qualities
10 support the life of trees and -hrubbery, he
said, and in some places there is a mere
carpet of earth on the rock.
Several experts who know all about soil
have been digging holes in the park in
the last week and have been making a
careful examination of the cxhumed soil.
They will submit specimens to chemical
analysis. In some places they have al
ready found the soil of a poor quality.
Much of the park soil, however, they found
up to the average Of that in the country

JIMMY RIDGWAY TURNED DOWN.

Lawyer Jimmy Ridgway applied to Judge
Aspnall in the County Court in Brook

Brennan, who has been indicted for grand
larceny and forgery on the charge Of de-
frauding the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company of $1,000 by means of forged
satisfaction piece for mortgage on piece
OF property on Lafayette avenue.
This man, Brennan" said District At
torney Clarke. "has by forgery and larceny
stolen between $4,000 and $4,000. He is
indicted for stealing only $1,000, but tho
larger amount Of SO 900 should be taken
into consideration.
This does not differ from any other case, !"
said Jimmy Ridgway. We must take
cases as we find them, Only one indct
mcnt is pending against this man and he
ought TO be admitted TO reasonable bail
IF he has stolen $4,000 or $50 900, said
Judge Aspinall, -he could flee the country
on "a small amount of bail, We have had
two cases where the question of bail has
caused great deal OF trouble. One was
that Of William II. Miller of the Franklin
Syndicate and the other John Shea"
-Shea forfeited his bail said District
Attorney Clarke.
-Yes, said Judge Aspinail, 'and you can't
tell what this young man might do. What
amount Of bail are you prepared To ohcr!'
Il was going to suggest 5000, said
Lawyer Ridgway
THAT is not enough, sad Judge Aspi-
nall Il shall fix the bail at i2S. .0Oo."
