on dairy subjects are urging the Eng.

Unheslthy Surroundings.

A. a medical convention recently
held In England the cow and her sur.
roundings came in for discussion In
relation to the public health. The
doctors pointed out some things that
should and some things that should
not be. One Of them said that In
many OF the stables the cows had too
little air space per COW. This should
not be less than 500 cubic feet per
COW. This would be a space ten by
ten by eight feet. Also the cows
should not be permitted to stand with
their heads to a dead wall. that Is. a
wall without openings OF any kind.
Il was better to have them face the
feeding racks. It was said that in
some parts Of England II Is common
to see drinking ponds located at the
lowest point in the yards. and In such
location 1t was impossible that they
could escape having washed into them
at every rain much NJ the droppings
from the cows. This had been the
case with some ponds for generations.
Good and healthy milk could not be
made from such water.

New York (SpeciaI Hon. Andrew
H. Green, famous lawyer. once the part

the Father of Greater New York." was
shot and killed at Thirty-ninth street and
Park avenue at I.3o o'clock in the after
noon by Cornelius NJ. Williams, a negro
Williams was at once arrested.
The murderer, who gave his residence
as I56 West Twenty-sixth street, and
his age as 43 years, fired FIVE shots, four
of which took effect
Mr. Green was shot as he was enter
ing his residence, oI Park avenue. After
firing four shots into his victims head
the negro put the revolver in his pocket
and stood in the vestibule calmly waiting
for policeman to come and arrest him.
The negro, it appears, was standing
in the vestibule of the house, when some
words passed between them. Mr. Green
entered the gate. Then Williams opened
fire.
Williams declares that this is the con-
versation that took place:
Il said to Mr.. Green: why do you
take it upon yourself to circulate this
scandal about me?'
What scandal said Mr. Green.
"'You know what scandal. You met
me in West Fifty-third street. and want

lodging house
"'I don't know anything about it, said
Mr.. Green. Go away from me-
"'You do know about it. and you will
have to die for it. With that / opened
fire"
Williams told this story very coolly
as he sat in the captains room in the
East Thirty-ffth Street Police Station.
After he had finished this recital he
leaned back in his chair and very coolly
remarked
IF I am not justified before man, l am
before Cod
The arrest of Williams was made by
Policeman Houghtaing. The officer
was going up Park avenue when the
shooting took place. He says that he
reached the house just after Williams
had fired the last shot. The negro had
been standing in the vestbule all the
time, the officer says. The negro simply
put the revolver back in his pocket,
leaned against the door, folded his arms
and smiled.
Houghtaling took the empty revolver
away from him and then hustled him off
to the police station. When searched a
dispossess notice was found in his pocket
This was for rooms at 426 West Fifty
seventh street. The house was owned
by Mr.. Green The notice was issued in
August last, and the police believe that
this is the real cause of Williams action
When Mr.. Green fell passers-by rushed
to his assistance. His niece and the SER
wants came from the house. He was
dead before anyone reached him, but a
nearby doctor was summoned.

The government informed the Min

focol and appoint arbitrators today. This
as considered a great victory for the
American interests.
There was heavy fighting here. The

He viii Save Time.

II Speaker Cannon carries out his
present plans. after the House has dis
posed OF the Cuban Reciprocity Bill he
will appoint a number of his other
House committees. so that they may
proceed at once with the work OF pre-
pairing the great appropriation bills for
the coming fiscal year There are IA
of these bills, and the Speaker is anx-
ious to have them presented and pass
ed by the House as soon as possible
during the regular session beginning
next month, so that they can get to
the Senate and become laws before the
summer. The appropriation bills have
always been the great obstacles to an
early adjournment OF Congress during
the long session, and Speaker Cannon,
from his experience as chairman of
the Appropriations Committee OF the
House, knows that the sooner the
House committees begin work on them
the greater the chance for an early ad-
iournment. The estimates for the ap-
preparations are submitted to Congress
on the opening day OF the regular ses-
sion OF Congress, but there is a great
deal OF preliminary work many OF the
committees can do this month in has
tening the drafting OF the bills.
