FRUIT GROWERS ACTIVE
Enormous Increase TO Be Made in
Acreage This Season.
TO PLANT OVER $4,000 TREES
Charles e. Thompson Preparing to
Plant the Biggest Peach Orchard
In This Section of the State.

Martinsburg fruit men say that the
present year will be the most active
one in the history of the fruit indus.
try in Berkeley county and that the
acreage of trees will be practically
doubled by fall. The output of the
orchards in the county last fall was
about so, 600 barrels, which was con-
sidered three-fourths crop, making
the total yield of full crop some
thug over 100, 600 barrels on the
present acreage. Already more than
$1,000 apple trees have been engaged
for planting this spring and summer,
and from 5000 to 10, 600 peach trees
will also be put out. This will make
an additional acreage greater than
now exists in the county in the
bearing orchards, and serves to illus.
trate the tremendous activity among
fruit growers.
| The Highland Orchard Co. will
plant more than 800 apple trees, the
North Mountain Go. will plant 10, 900,
The Sutton-StillweIl Go. will plant
about Is, 900, several of the smaller
companies will plant from 1000 to
8, 900 each, while many of the indivi-
dual growers will add materially to
their acreage, making an estimated
total OF more than $4,000 apple trees
for the season. In addition to this,
Charles s. Thompson. expects to plant
q peach orchard of 5000 to 10000
trees on his tract on the west side of
the mountain, which will give him
the large peach orchard in this
section Of the state, and as large an
acreage as the other peach orchards of
the county combined. The trees to
be planted this spring will mean an
additional output Of about 200, 600
barrels per year when they come to
the bearing point
Ii is expected that great numbers
of seedless apple trees will be sold by
the West Virginia company, composed
chiefly of Martinsburg people. The
seedless apple men have 100. 900 young
trees growing at the nursery at Point
Pleasant, W. Va, along the Ohio
river, and preparations are being
made for an active campaign for bust.

and will leave in short time for an

NEWSPAPER NOT DEFINED.
Third Assistant p. N. G. Tells Com
mission of Law Violations

The United States postal commission
which is investigating the alleged violators
Of the law by publications which Illegally
enjoy the 1-cent postage rate met in New
York yesterday. The commission is COM
posed OF United States Senator's Penrose
Of Pennsylvania. chairman; Clay Of
Georgia and Carter of Montana. and Rep
resentatives Overstreet OF Indiana Gard
ner of New Jersey and onion of Ten
nessee.
Third Assistant Postmaster General Mad
den cited the evils which he said have re-
suited from defective legislation covering
the classification of pound-rate postal mat
ter. He said that the deficit In postal re-
cefpts last year was more than $l4, 0O0. 900.
and claimed that most of this is directly
chargeable to publications that have un-
lawfully taken advantage of the low rate
when they could not fill the requirements
of the postal regulations.
Mr.. Madden said that the act does not
define what a newspaper really is He
produced q large number Of so-called news
papers which conformed with every require
ment of the law, and yet are small that
they weigh sixty to the pound. In appear
ance they are simply nothing more or less
than pamphlets, and yet. on account of the
incompleteness of the law, they are admit
ted at the cent-a-pound rate.
Many newspapers, Mr.. Madden said, is
sue supplements such as calendars, ency-
clopedias, pictures and postal cards. all of
which are not legally provided for by the
cent-a-pound rate. In some industrial maya
zines, it was shown by him, full-page sam
wooden suitings are inserted which IL car
ried in the mails in any other way would
be chargeable at 10 cents a pound. The
hearing Will be resumed today.

FOUGHT FOR DEAD MANS GOLD.
Relatives Claim Cash Found in the
Trousers Of Corpse.

Harry Lintsky, who died in a New Haven
hospital, had so many anxious mourning
friends and relatives at his funeral In An
sonia, Conn. yesterday that the police
force Of the town was called out to keep
order. Lintsky was a quiet man with few
friends and fewer relatives. When his body
was brought to the home Of Mrs Harry Co
hen there Sunday the undertaken found
$1,000 sewed up in his trousers.
The news spread and friends and rela-
tives' appeared from all sides. Mrs. Cohen
demanded the custody of the trousers. Four
women got the coffin and locked 1t In
room. The undertaken broke window.
got into the room. and held the trousers
against all Corners He refused to allow
any one to enter and asked who would take
charge of the funeral.
score of men and women insisted on
the privilege, claiming at the same time the
custody of the valuable trousers. The din
became SO loud that 500 persons congre-
gated about the house. The confusion be-
came so great that the undertaken called
Chief of Police Ellis and turned over the
valuable and much-wanted trousers to him
and asked him to settle the dispute. Ellis
had his men scatter the crowd and ordered
the funeral to proceed.
Ellis found friends who said Lintsky had
a widow In Philadelphia. They got law
yer, who, after much dickering, secured
possession of the trousers and wired the
widow to hurry to Ansonia. The funeral
was delayed three hours.

nary hearing. After being bound over he
was released on his own recognizance.
President Smith reached Salt Lake City
two days ago on his return from Europe
He then learned that an attempt had been
made to secure his arrest for statutory
offense in connection with the birth OF ms
forty-third child. The complaint was made
from a distinctly anti-Mormon source.
The county attorney refused to approve
a prosecution on this charge. The attor-
ney was then cited to appear In court and
show cause why he should not be COM
PEELED to act in the matter.
After the hearing the court held that the
attorney was justified in refusing to prose-
cute, because the complainant onered no
evidence that the mother of the chlid was
not the wife Of President Smith.
Whatever the motive back of the pro-
ceedings, the effect will be to disarm the
criticism that has been directed against the
authorities for their failure to take cog
nizance of the admission made by President
Smith before the Senate committee during
the investigation of the case of Senator
Reed Smoot.
