GANG LEADER
GIVES HIMSELF UP TO NEW YORK
POLICE
u Is Believed He Has Thrown Some
Light on Murder Mystery Fol-
lowing the Election.

New York, Dec. Paul Kelly, lead
er Of the notorious paul Kelly" gang
and proprietor of the Little Naples
dive in Great Jones street, was appre-
hended by the police today, but his
capture was not due to any overexer-
ton OF the local minions of the law.
Kelly gave himself UP. Through his
brother he sent word to Captain Hodg-
ms OF the Mercer Street police station
that he would be at 1928 Park ave-
nue. at certain hour this morning.
On receiving this communication
Captain Hodgins detailed Detective
MCGEE of his staff to make the arrest.
Kelly was found at the house at
the hour appointed and seemed as
anxious to reach the station as did the
detective to get him there. From
the station, Kelly was taken TO the
district attorneys Office, where he was
1uartered with Assistant District At
torney Cardoza, to whom he made a.
statement
This conference with Kelly, had by
the assistant district attorney, Is sup
posed to have thrown some light on
the death of William Harrington, who
was shot to death in Kelly's place last
| week.
1t is this crime that has led to the
arrest of Kelly. The police don't claim
that he is the principal in the shoot
ing, but are working on the theory
that Kelly knows who fred the shot
that caused Harringon's death.
After his visit to the district at
torney's Office, Kelly was taken before
Coroner Goldenkranz and committed
to the house of detention, where he
was held without bail, pending the
| inquiry into Harrington's death.

head of the supply department and
incidentally looked aIter legislative
matters for the company in Albany
Today the administration of the Mutual
Lie, as constituted since the resigna-
tion of Richard A. McCurdy, appointed
w. S. Sullivan, formerly in charge of
the advertising department, as the
head Of the supply department. This
is taken to indicate that MIR. Fields

vestigation is on.
Adrian Iselin, Jr., has placed his
resignation as trustee in the hands Of
some of his friends, VINO are officers,
with instructions to present IL at the
meeting of the board next Wednesday.
An effort is being made, however, to
get Mr.. Iselin to withhold his resigna-
tion until the Truesdale committee has
investigated the McCurdy administra-
tion more fully and to aid in estab-
lishing reforms
Another surprise sprung at today's
meeting was the acceptance of the res
igna4ion of Charles j. Smith, for 20
years head Of the MutuaPs literary bu-
reau. Smith testified before the Iegis-
lative insurance committee that he re-
ceived a salary of $4,000 year and

The following item of the farming

The following item of the farming
system used on the Adams farm in
Richland county may be read with
profit by local farmers who have not
gotten into a rut too far to get out:
"a thing that is influencing farmers in
this country to change over to the
mixed style of farming is the policy of
this Adams farm, twelve miles west of
Wahpeton. This 1000 acre tract for
several years planted from 1900 to
1000 acres of corn and pastured from
5000 to 10000 sheep. The land was
built up by the use of twenty manure
spreaders. None of the straw was
burned. The result is that the wheat
fields which formerly were producing
about fifteen bushels an acre have for
two or three years yielded about TWEEN
ty-eight to thirty bushels an acre.
