Forestry.
Though by no means ancient
science, forestry finds many Of its most
ardent students in North Carolina, and
the exhibits in this department are
surpassed by none Of like nature at
the exposition.
The chief displays consist of cross
sections of the various forest trees of
the State, shown in conjunction with
Longitudinal sections cut from the same
trees. The cross sections We're cut as
broad as the trees allowed. The longi-
tudinal pieces are in uniform lengths,
with the bark attached
The upper half of every piece has
been given highly polished cabinet
finish. The lower parts have been

In this way about forty varieties of
forest trees are shown, each being care

MURDER HINTS
IN QUEER DEATH
Alleged Suicide by Hanging Bears
Marks of Violence.
TWO MEN UNDER ARREST

Philadelphia, Dec. 16. - Pending a
further investigation into the strange
death of Robert Abrams, a young He
brew, at the home OF his sweetheart,
in the southern section. of the city,
Abraham Brosslov, a cantor in the
Ahaveth Israel synagogue, and Levin
Pressman were held by the coroner
here as material witnesses in a homi-
eide case"
Abrams, who was baker, was pay
ing court to Bessie, the 17-year-old
daughter of Pressman, in whose house
he was found dead on Thursday. After
the death, members of the family, in
Guiding Brosslov, moved out of the
house. They reported the case to a
policeman on the beat, saying Abrams
had died suddenly. When the corO-
ners physician went to examine the
body he found that the young man
had died of strangulatiOn. There was
a dark ring around the neck when he
examined the corpse and a confusion
on the bridge of the nose.
The members of the family told
conflicting stories. First, according to
the police, PTessman said he came
down stairs and stumbled over the
body lying on the floor. Later he said
he found Abrams hanging from the
knob of the cellar door. and that he
had committed suicide by hanging
with a towel. 1t was explained that
he had tied the towel to the door
knob On one side and run it up over
the top CT the door to secure an ele.
vation, and that his body was thus
foung hanging on the opposite side
of the door from where the towel was
fastened to the knob. When the pO
lice searched the house they found a
portion OF two towels tied together
The towels had been cut apart with
some sharp instrument.
1t was learned that Abrams hal
loaned money to members of the
Pressman family and that he called on
Bessie on Tuesday night. She told
the police that after the rest of the
family had gone upstairs she informed
Abrams that she could not marry him
and went up to her room, leaving him
down stairs, where there was a couch.
She says she scorned him and that
she believes he committed suicide A
delivery boy who entered the house
in the early morning shortly after
Abrams death told the police he
saw Abrams body lying on the floor
and the girl lying on the couch in her
night dress.
The police do not believe the young
man could have hanged himself with
the towel in the manner described, as
the towels tied together are too short
nor would the hanging explain the Sc
we're contusions on the body of the
dead man. So conflicting are the state
ments of those who were in the house
that the police decided to arrest
Brosslov and Pressman, and it is said
ther arrests will be made.
