ASSISTANCE TO TREE PLANTERS.
Practical Offer Of the Department Of
Agriculture.

The Department Of Agriculture, through
the forest service, gives practical assist
ance to landowners in establishing COM
mercial forest plantations, shelterbelts,
windbreaks and snowbreaks and in re-
claiming shifting sands and other waste
lands by forest planting. In connection
with this work, information will be given,
when possible, to interested communities
by public meetings. The purpose of the
service in it's cooperation in forest plant
ing, the plan Of which has been followed
continuously since July 8, 1899, is to es-
tablish In suitable localities examples of
forest plantations of the highest possible
usefulness and value to their owners, to
afford object lessons of correct methods
of forest planting, and to encourage the
regions where the public welfare demands
a greater forest area.
This offer does not include the prepara-
ton of plans or the giving Of advice for
landscape gardening or decorative tree
planting of any kind since such work is
entirely outside the province Of the forest
service, but the assistance rendered Is
only advisory, by means of correspondence
and publications, or is embodied in plant
ing plan. In regions where the forest
service has made investigations, assist
ance may be given through publications
giving definite recommendations of spe-
based on the information furnished by the
owner in a letter, or in accordance with
the sample form below. Mmeographed
sheets, giving lists of dealers and range
of prices for plant material of species
recommended, will also be sent.

CAPT. KIRKMAN's CASE.
Government Will Probably Ask for
Postponement

In the matter of the application for
writ of habeas corpus Of former Capt. Geo.
w. Kirkman of the 25th Infantry who was
dismissed from the service and sentenced
to three years Imprisonment in the Fort
Leavenworth penitentiary, which is set
for hearing tomorrow in the United States
court at Omaha, after having been post
poned for a fortnight to permit the War
Department to file its answer, it is likely
that the government will ask a further
postponement. The departments brief sets
out the fact that military practice for
many years has been uniform and posi-
tive against the contention of Capt. Kirk
man that two or more sentences Of a court
martial are concurrent. Capt. Kirkman
claims that in serving his two-year sem
tence he also at the same time served an
additional one-year sentence imposed upon
him, and he maintains that she should now
be given his release.

coroner go before the jury. At 1890 o'clock
the court took recess until 2 o'clock.
In Nature Of Surprise.
The decision Of the attorneys for the
commonwealth not to call Mrs. Bywaters
as a witness for the prosecution came in
the nature of a surprise to most people.
They are at loss to understand just what
is meant by it. Not a person who is IN
the Strother house at Rotherwood was put
upon the stand the story of the shooting
having been told only by persons who had
conversed with James and Philip Strother,
and these witnesses gave evidence in sup
port of the claim of the defense.
There is no question OF self-defenSe set
up in this case, nor are there any Of the
features which usually characterize such
trials. 1t is wholly case Of whether the
defendants acted under the ''unwritten
law" or If they killed Bywaters after he
had apparently made an effort to right
wrong and not when he was making an
effort to run away.
Up to the time of adjournment yesterday
afternoon, when the case for the state was
closed, Judge Harrison had been called
upon to settle only minor legal questions
and he had therefore said but very little
one way or the other. He had permitted
counsel on both sides all the freedom imag-
Unable in their opening, and while the adj
dress Of fYfmer State Senator John L.
Jeffries contained statements which would
probably have been regarded az highly
sensational in some other communities,
they made no such impression here. being

admit that his logic was all right. his
opening address caused more comment than
anything that has transpired in the case
since the fateful night when the tragedy
was enacted at Rotherwood.
Jury Visits Rotherwood.
After the jurors had finished dinner at
the Waverly Hotel yesterday afternoon
they made the journey to Rotherwood In
vehicles, two deputies having them in
charge Beyond a miserable drive over the
muddy road the trip was an uneventfui
one.
When Rotherwood was reached the ju-
rors were ushered into the house that had
been the happy home of big family. The
things about the house were just as they
were left last December, with the excep-
ton Of the removal of the hat and over
coat from the rack where Bywaters had
left them when he went to the house that
Saturday night to get married and where
he so shortly afterward paid the penalty
melted out to him for the wrongs he had
done his cousin.
,, Blood stains upon the floor were pointed
out to the jurors. and they also saw the
several bullet holes that had been men
toned by the witnesses who had been ex-
amined for the state. The shutter about
which so much had been said In court
was removed from it's hinges and brought
to town to be used as an exhibit in the
case, the broken Stat and other disfigure-
ment indicating that the blind was open
at the time it was struck by the bullet, ana
not closed, as the state contended. Ihere
were blood-stained garments found in the
house and everything about the prosper
ous-looking home indicated that nothing
had been disturbed, unless 1t was pno-
toeraph of the young woman. Every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent the

Pleaded for His Life.
During that conversation her brother
French said he did not know that he want
ed them to get married. Witness said she
pleaded with her brother, and it was her
pleading that saved Bywaters' life.
Bywaters said he would marry her. but
even then he wanted it put off. He left
there about 5 o'clock that afternoon, the
understanding being that the marriage
should take place at time to be designated
by her brothers.
Saturday when he came he again asked
for time, and she Joined In his request.
''Why did you do that?'
Because / felt that If he did not want to
marry me he would not treat me right and
would desert me-"
After their marriage, she said, her BROTH
ers kissed her and shook his hand. They
told him of the money they would advance
him and said they would forget the past.
What did Bywaters say to their kind
offer?"
''He said nothing"
Witness then went on to relate how By
waters had said he wanted to come to town
to get out announcement cards and tell his
mother of the marriage. Bywaters was
called to the telephone, and twenty min
utes later she asked the servant to call
him.
why did you call him?"

Early Conclusion Probable.
Capt. Woods and Mr.. Jeffries counsel on
opposing sides, stated last night that they
thought the case would probably be given
to the jury by Saturday night. Mr.. JEFF
fries said he thought his witnesses would
not consume much time-certainly not more
than two days. Then the state will call
witnesses in rebuttal, and it depends upon
the number of such witnesses when the
case reaches termination.
1t is thought probable that the number
called in rebuttal will exceed the number
called in chief. Should such prove to be-
the case the trial may not be concluded
this week. THB

Undergoes Cross-Examination.
Commonwealth Attorney Keith conducted
the cross-examination.
How many times did you see DR.. Wal
ters? he asked.
Il can't tell, exactly"
Did you see his wife?"
Yes"
Did you get upon friendly terms?"
yes, Mrs. Walters felt sorry for me and
was very kind. She wanted me to come

And did DR.. Walters advise you to get
married?'
HE did,
+, Witness said she told the physician the
whole story, referring to her four brothers
and her other relatives. She said she then
almost reached the conclusion that By
waters would not marry her.
Witness could not recall having made
certain statements to DR.. Walters which
were suggested by Mr.. Keith. Counsel then
came down to the time when she and By
waters returned to Culpeper, and of a re-
mark friend made to Bywaters on the
street. She realized at that time, she said
that she and Bywaters were under sus-
pfcion. Witness repeated statements she
had made in her direct examination, and
said 1t was not until Saturday morning
that she told her brother Jim practically
the whole story of her treatment. She
told him of the operation and it's conse-
quences, thinking he might be able to hide
her shame.

Promises Marriage.

Bywaters, she said, made the promise of
marriage, the ceremony to be performed
Saturday afternoon about o'clock. When
Bywaters reached the house, she stated he
entered her room, asked how she felt, and
said he had come to marry her.
Then she said, The commenced to

to marry me. 1 knew he did not, and

At the time Bywaters went from her
room to answer the phone, she stated, she
did not know what happened downstairs,
except what Bywaters told her Mrs. Gaines
said.
Did he tell you what she said?''
Yes. He said she talked about him
taking me off to Washington" the witness
responded, land that she told him he had
violated every principle of an Odd Fellow
and gentleman
Witness repeated what she had said about
the condition of affairs prior to the time
that Bywaters jerked away from her and
ran. In order to run downstairs, she stated,
Bywaters had to pass Mrs. Gaines.
When he ran down the steps," counsel
asked, was there shot fired down the
steps?'
Witness said she felt certain that no shot
was fired down there. Mr.. Gaines her
brother-in-law, brought Bywaters back.
She then realized that her husband was

followed.
Attorney Keith read from the notes of
the coroner what purported to be the testi-
mony given by Mrs. Bywaters at the in
quest. She repeated what she said at that
time. that she thought no shots were fired
in her room and that they We're fired on
the roof. She remembered that Bywaters
was told he would be shot if he attempted
to leave the house that night. He went
out upon the roof of the porch, it was
thought. for the purpose of deserving Wit

Did he tell you where he got it?" asked
Mr.. Lee.
He said his sister had been wearing it,
do you know where your brother Jim
got the wedding ring?'
He said he bought it in town."

INSURANCE.
The beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.

The beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.
The practice of Insurance was known
to the ancients, being in vogue at the
beginning of the Christian era.
The insurance of ships was undoubt-
eddy part of the business of the Hanse-
attic league, which was formed about
1140 by the port towns of Germany to
protect themselves against the pirates
of Sweden and Denmark.
The custom of drawing out insurance
policies originated in Florence in 1923.
although a regular chamber of insur-
ance was formed at Bruges early in the
fourteenth century, and the practice
was in general use in Italy in 1894 and
in England in 1860.
Fire and life insurance is of much
more recent origin. Some of the an
Gent guilds provided compensation for
any Of their members who suffered loss
from fire, but the insurance of goods
and houses as a distinct branch Of bust
ness cannot be traced farther back
of London.
The first regular company, the Hand
INLAND, was founded in 1896, and five
other companies still existing were
started in the quarter of a century
which followed. Life insurance was
first undertaken by the Amicable in
1706.-LondOn Standard
