COUNT WON'T WED WOMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. This is at once a

those who are no longer as young as they
used to be.

In this contingency, therefore, Count
Zalinoff conded his intention to seek a
middleaged woman with whom to share
what part of his fortune the Wall street
sharks have left to him.
1t, appears that the publication of the
counts desire to find wife has brought
down upon him a shower of responses
couched in the latest formula of the
Ready Letter Writer; but to his chagrin
all of the letters are from sentimental
maidens who are still under 20.
Positively the count does not want any
young girl. In his own comprehensive and
strikingly significant phrasing, They

prots they realize are rapidly depicting
what is left of his patrimony.

He waved his hand in despair at heap
of letters on his desk.
"All," said he, "all comes from the
young girl under 20. Ugh! Am 1 an easy
market 1 ask? Is it the bon thing they
sink am? Non! Thirty-three for them,
so!'
The count read several of the letters he
had received from young women who Were
willing to love him for himself alone.
One of them read:
She Wanted Gentleman
Dear Sir-Reading about you wanting
the love of an American girl l take the
liberty of writing to you. Don't think me
brazen to write. l am not looking for
title or money. What 1 am looking for
is a gentleman of character. So. if your
intentions are honorable and good toward
me. an American girl. 1 will be pleased to
hear from you. As for the true, honest
love, will assure you that. AS for looks,
you will have to see and judge for your

Some have no picture, but are guilty of pro-

Needless to say, they never get to their des-

are mailed by the party.
Some of the cards under examination were
illustrated with pictures of scantily clad ac-
tresses, others were pictures of nude children,

LIMA BEAN CROP NOT

Sugar Beets Not as Plentiful as Last
Year Because of Excessive

VENTURA, Aug. THE report published in
a Los Angeles paper that the lima bean crop
of this county this year would be spotted and
rot as great as that of last year, when the
output Of beans was nearly 100000 sacks, is
denied by some growers and men best fitted
to judge.
II is true that the sugar beet crop is not as
large by some 5000 acres this year. there be-
ing but 1900 acres in as against 5000 last
year, but the lima bean crop has not been af-
fected the beet
The beets have to be put in early and the
excessive rains prevented the planting of the
usual acreage.
Limas are not, however. planted until May
and thereabouts, and after the rains have
ceased, and the growers of this staple were
not interferred with.
The consensus of opinion is that the output
will compare favorably with that of any year
heretofore.
There will be 10000 acres in limas this year.
a slightly larger acreage than last year, be-
cause the land was not available for beets.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA special dis
patch to the New York Times from Len
nox. Mass, sent under today's date says
that criminal prosecutions will be under
taken in the near future as result OF
the interstate commerce investigation of
the Hartman railroad system
This information was obtained at Len
nox upon authority this afternoon on the
virtual eve of the return of Attorney Gem
eral Bonaparte to Washington.
Mr.. Bonaparte was asked if action per-
sonaily against individuals would be in
cluded in the prosecutions. He replied
somewhat enigmatically:
II have noticed a good many COM
plants that criminal prosecutions against
trust magnates and sentences of impris
onment for them have been very infre-
quent, and in fact, for practical purposes
unknown. 1t is perfectly true that, in my
opinion at least, a better moral effect
would be produced by sending few
prominent men to jail than by a great
deal of litigation, however successful,
against the corporations they controlled.
Presidents Acquitted
Some time since two corporations and
their respective presidents were indicted
Jointly for violation of the antitrust law.
If the corporations were guilty of such
1t would be hard for the lay mind at least
to understand how their presidents could
be innocent Nevertheless the jury con-
victed the corporations and acquitted their
presidents.
"It is the avowed purpose of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute Grim
inally any one who is really responsible
for violations of antitrust law wherever
il can do so with any reasonable proba
bility of success. 1t does not care to
prosecute mere underlings who are known
to everyone to have acted under the direct
authority of their superiors. But if it can
get case against any of the superiors
such as justifes a reasonable hope on the
part of experienced lawyers that he can
be punished personally the department
will undoubtedly take advantage of the
opportunity as soon as it is presented"
