GOT SEVENTEEN
DOLLARS A MONTH
BUT UNDER oUIsE OF a LIEU
TENANT YOUNG MAN ENTER
TAINS HANDSOMELY.

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, Dec 30
AS sequel to one of the longest and
most persistent impersonations of a
United States army officer by sol
der of lower rank, Frank T. Albright,
a private, who has seen eleven years
service, was arrested yesterday on
the charge of impersonatins an ON
Ger TO commit fraud and taken under
guard TO the Columbus, o., infantry
barrack. where he win be tried. II
found guilty, which he doubtless viii
be. his sentence viii be Imprisonment
for a term of from two TO Ave years
While II Is claimed that Albright
k:s been impersonating lieutenant
in the army for the past three years,
the charges against him are only for
his conduct at Portsmouth, O.. at
which place he was until q few days
ago the United States army recruit
ing officer.
The charges preferred by Captain
Philip Walker, of the Huntington re-
cruiting station. result from an In
vestiSation in which Captain Walker
says he found that Albright, by
palmtng himself on as lieutenant.
had obtained hundreds Of dollars in
loans and large bills OF clothing. His
salary of seventeen dollars month
would not. 1t is said. have paid the ex.
penses of one of the many nights he
entertained Portsmouth society cir
.cles. 1t seems as he was once here
and IN Parkersburg. where he was
connected with a recruiting Office for
two years. While in the latter place.
1t is said he spent large sums on
launch parties, dinners and cham
payne suppers He called himself a
lieutenant there and was great
society favorite. It is claimed that
he now owes much borrowed money
In Parkersburg, as well as having de-
camped without paying a number Of
bills for dress suits and fancy clothes.
He has host of friends everywhere
who sincerely regret his downfall.

From Fayette street, down Holiday
street, as far as German street, there Is
no building left save the Corn and
Flour Exchange, at the corner Of Ger
man street. That building whose walls
tower above hecrumbling debris Of what
were adjoining structures, was Quilted
and the standing walls formed caul-
dron, the flames Of which burst at
times through the windows, but caused
no further damage. In numerous 9th
er wrecked buildings the flames played
about the debris and threatened to
weaken the foundations Of the few
walls that were left.
Like a grim tower in the ruins stand
the walls of the ffteen-story Continent
al Trust Company building. The walls OF
the Baltimore & Ohio building are also
standing, but the Pennsylvania rail-
road building, directly across Calvert
street, is razed. Only remnants Of one
wall are left at what was the National
hotel at Holiday and Fayette streets.
No buildings are left standing as far
as the eye can see down Baltimore
street from this ponlt. All along South
Gay street there Is the same picture OF
destruction. A broken sign and tot
tering front wall show where the Mary
land w. C. T. u. building once stood.
Adjoining this was the building oc-
cnpied by the Iron Ship Company and
by the British consulate, whose build
ing is a complete loss. The building
used by the German consulate. on this
square, is also in ruins. The costly
United States custom house. in course
of construction, and occupying the tri-
angular block between Lombard and
Water streets and Exchange place, is
said to be ruined. The marble blocks
are badly damaged. the cornices on the
north side are destroyed, and the mar

Special Colorado Crops.

Experience is teaching year by year
that Colorado farmers should nay spe-
cial attention to crops that give rela-
lively large yields in proportion to the
area under cultivation.
Conditions do not favor the cultiya-
tion OF the cereals on large scale.
Distance from all but local markets
renders 1t impracticable for Colorado to
compete with Kansas and Nebraska in
the production Of wheat, and climatic
conditions are unfavorable to corn.
What is needed are crops that yield
largely per acre and command In pro-
portation to weight and freight charges
q big price. This calls for what is
known rs intensive agriculture, par
taking sometimes of the nature of
truck farming" or market gardening.
T o this kink of farming belongs the
production Of cantaloupes In the Ar
kansas valley. potatoes. and onions
near Greeley, celery in the vicinity OF
Denver. and sugar beets wherever
there is q sugar factory.
It Is impracticable for a man en-
gagged in this kind OF farming to care
for moro than few acres in COM
parison with what Kansas wheat or
corn farmer cultivates. Yet he may
mako In the course of year more
money than his Kansas competitor, be-
cause the prices received by him are
higher In proportion to the freight
charges on his product and the yield
Pr ecre u much larger.
