E. Walsh, a wealthy contractor on the
evening of May 8 last, was begun be-
fore Judges McFarlane and Brown OF
the criminal court during the day.
Expected sensations caused the
courtroom to be crowded. many wo-

the part that Mrs. kountz, the pris'

time that Walsh was shot Mrs. Kountz
was badly wounded. She recovered
and has preferred against her husband
a charge of felonious shooting. Mrs.
Kountz. the only witness OF the trag,

trial She cannot testify for the com.

Of pitiful scenes about the seventeenth

on cara Or lying on the floor, careless
Of whether they lived or died.
Near the seventeenth level twenty
bodies were found strewn over pile
of debris which the men had striven to
surmount before overcome by deadly
fumes Some were scared and scorched
by flames. but all had died crawling
toward fresh air. The eleven rescuers
who had gone thus far were too weak
to bring out body.

An expert who went almost to the

not possibly be cleared for a month.

COLD STORAGE OF FRUITS.
Interesting Results Of Experiments
by Department of Agriculture.

Interesting Results Of Experimen nts
by Department of Agriculture.
w. II. Ragan, the special agent Of the
department of agriculture In charge
of the experiments In the cold storage
Of fruits, reports on the progress Of the
last year that some prevalent opinions
have not been borne out by the investi-
cations, says the New York Posts
Washington correspondent. The i'm
preston, for instance, that cold storage
fruit decays quickly after exposure to
outside conditions has not proved true
when the fruit was stored In proper
condition and maintained In low tenn
perature, say 80 degrees. IL the stor-
age temperature Is much higher than
this the process of ripening goes on,
and when the fruit is brought out II
soon spoils. Even well colored yet still
hard peaches, when placed in cold stor
age at temperature Of 81 degrees i'm
mediately after being taken from the
trees, came out after four weeks in
fairly good marketable condition and
remained so for q period OF four days.
Imperfect and poorly colored speci-
mems, however, soon failed on ex-
posure.
The temperature Of cold storage
warehouse, he adds, should be uniform
throughout. The fruit should be placed
in it Immediately after being taken
from the tree. A delay of a few hours
or few days, especially in hot wealth
er, will result In serious loss. Pears
should be picked at early maturity, but
apples keep best when well matured
and colored on the tree, but still hard.
Small packages, say about fifty pounds,
are better than larger ones. This Is
especially true Of pears. The ventila-
tion of barrels and large packages Is
essential to the quick ripening fruits.
Wrapping prolongs the keeping OF
fruit, double wrappers being better
than single ones. The inner wrapper
may be made of porous paper, like un-
printed news paper, the outer Of paraf-
fin paper.

The presidents house is on Cove

through dense wood before the house
is seen. Once on the crest of Saga

of Long Island sound and Cold Spring

on all sides is closely cropped lawn

The house is not a mansion-not in
any sense a show place-but rather a
spacious home, comfortable and rooily.

Ocean steamers greater than the
Cedric or the Celtic Of the White Star
line, now the largest vessels afioat, are
planned by the Hamburg-American
and the Cunard lines, says the New
York Press. Neither boat is intended
for record breaking. The Cunard liner
will make the run from the Irish coast
to New York in seven and half days
and the Hamburg craft will have
speed Of about seventeen and half
knots 1t is in preparation for the ac-
commodation Of these and similar YES
sells that tire New York dock depart
ment has asked the permission Of the
war department to build piers at least
1000 feet long In the North river. The
proposed boats could not be docked
unless the line Is extended.
The Cedric and the Celtic are 700 feet
long, 75 feet wide and 40 1-3 feet deep.
The new Hamburg American liner will
be 725 feet long, II feet wide and 30
feet deep, and have a mean speed Of
seventeen and one-half knots, as
against sixteen for the White Star
liners. The Cunard vessel will have
about the same measurements and
speed. The German craft will be able
to carry twice as many guests as the
Waldorf Astoria holds and will have
three promenade decks, one a roof
garden; fifty baths, gymnasium,
three smoking rooms, two libraries aud
two parlors for women.

grounds If they keep their fares" from
touching the shrubbery. The visitors
are told to take branches from the trees
on the other side of the rail fence, a
piece of property that the president
does not own. This hack privilege will
probably be withdrawn when the chief

be guarded, as last year, by secret serv.

The rest of his time he will spend with

romping with his children. Last sum-

of the sound. 1t is about an hour and
half from New York by rail. The
town was founded $50 years ago and
until it sprang into prominence as the
presidents summer home was as quiet
and sleepy country village as could
be found. The town has grown won
derfully in the last two years, five
business brick blocks having gone up
and another is being constructed.
Then there Is the building which for
two months this summer will be the
virtual capital of the United States.
For executive offices the president has
,ecured the entire second floor, and it
Is now being fitted up for him. The
building is the Moore block, on one
of the four principal corners of the
town. 1t is owned by the man who
runs the grocery store on the street
floor.
There have been other improvements
since the boom began. 1t is impossible
| to rent or buy a house in Oyster Bay
at this time unless one doesn't care
what he pays. 1t is surprising how
many people want to live in the town

have scared until lots which would
have been dear at $500 two years ago
are now worth $1,000. One piece of
property jumped from $4,000 to $50.
