Discovery.

New York. July 31.-That at
least two men were concerned in
the murder OF the unidentified wo.
man whose half-charred and acid.
Scared body was found on the
Green Point avenue dumping grounC
in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was es
tablished last night. Philip O'BrieI
laborer OF Green Point, saw GOV
cred wagon driven to the dump a.
dawn yesterday. Two men got out
and lifted from the wagon what the
witness supposed TO be only an old
mattress. He saw the men pile !.
heap OF brush on the mattress. pouI
oil over 1t. and then set fire to the
bundle. Believing the mattress wa,
being destroyed because 1t was dis
ease-infected, the man avoided tn ,
spot. There can be no doubt bul
that the mattress was the one IL
which the body of the murdered wo
man was concealed

wagon was seen by several other
persons and the police now have

who were in 1t. They were foreign
ers
Another startling feature OF the
case was disclosed when CoroneT's
Physician Fuest made n second au-
topsy on the corps. His first au-
topsy revealed deep cut across
the woman's throat. The second
autopsy shows that this cut was
made by a person who is an expert in
surgery. The incision. says the
coroner's physician. is such as Is
made in desperate case of diph
iberia where it is necessary to pierce
the windpipe to prevent strangula-
ton. Whether this wound caused
death or not, Dr. Fuest is unprepar-
ed to say.
Or. Fuest will make a careful an
alysis of the stomach to discover
whether a drug was administered to
the woman. Besides the incision in
the woman's throat, her skull was
fractured, and the police believe
that poison may have been used tc
mako thrice sure her death.
Failure to identify the victim Is
the greatest obstacle the police have
TO overcome in solving the mys.

out for Mrs. Mamie Muskovitch and
her husband Stanley, who have dis

Bob Evans Home

Near Judiciary Square you will find
the home OF Admiral r. Dunglinson
Evans, commander OF the largest fleet
ever concentrated In the history OF
the American navy. Here lives Mrs.
Evans, the Admiral's wife, and no one
can know except the wives and loved
ones Of naval officers and men, OF the
hours OF suspense that are passed
while awaiting news from the fleet.
Mrs. Evans Is one OF those good old.
fashioned women, who believe that
the women connected by home ties
with the navy serve Uncle Sam just as
truly as their husbands, brothers and
sons who wear the uniform. She
laughingly refers to her forty years
OF naval service" She also spoke feel.
ingly Of the old days when me wives
were permitted to 70 to sea with their
husbands; time OF which she had
heard from her mother.
Mrs Evans Is a great admirer OF
theJapanese, and In her home are many
curios and souvenirs brought from the
Flowery Land as m, mentos Of her
tour there. The walls OF the dining
room are covered with japanese silk,
and there are draperies and portiere
thai reflect the magic dizziness and
rare coloring Of Toxic weavers. She is
also especially interested in colonial
history, being descendant OF that
Colonel Simms who served on the staff
OF General Washington. A maternal
ancestor was Daniel Morgan, a team
ster in the famous Braddock campaign
and later a rifleman with Arnold at
Quebec. Mrs. Evans has his war chest
as relic OF old Revolutionary days.
She is native OF Washington, having
been born Ia the city, and is the
daughter OF Frank Taylor, A dainty
little lady, with waving white hair
and blue eyes, she Is, like the Admiral,
devoted to her grand. children, and the
greatest delight OF the little people is
to go to walk with Grandpa or Grand.

MATING HENS
WITH COCK

How many hens should be placed in
"a pen with a male bird for good fer.
tllity? That question Is asked time
and again by beginners, and 1t might
be interesting TO note the difference
OF opinions. Holmes says the best re-
sui, can be obtained both In fertile
eggs and vigor OF chicks, by having
Two males for each pen, and using
them alternate days. Ii one has but
u few hens, say half dozen or less,
better allow the male with them but
half a day at a time. Prof. Wheeler
sa, $ some OF the best results In fertile
eggs and good llatchiug that he has
ever had, were len hens mated with
year.old male. The hens were In three
pers, four In one, and three IN each
OF the Others. Tie male was In each
pen one day In three. Stevenson say S
he always had the best results for fer
tile eggs when he kept about thirty 10
forty hens In one pen, and kept two
vigorous cockerels, allowing only one
OF them with the hens at a time, keep
ing one In coop arranged for the pur.
pose, and changing them every day
Mount prefers using enough hens for
one COCK In each pen. With the small
active breeds, such as Legh0rn, Min
orcas, etc, twenty hens to one cock
are about the number, and with the
larger breeds, such as Wyandottes,
Plymouth Rocks, ETC., fifteen hens to
one cock. With Brahmas and all very
large breeds, ten hens are enough for
one male. Speaking Of fertility, Fred
Grundy, says small, penned.up flocks,
comprising six to twelve females and
one male, viii give 80 to 80 per cent OF
fertile eggs, and sLrong chicks, for
fifteen TO twenty-five days at the be.
ginning OF the season. After that the
per cent Of fertility decreases rapidly,
and the chicks are invariably weak.
and never make good vigorous breed
Ing fowls. 1t pays well TO have Two
male birds for each pen and alternate
them. 1t Is q practice the writer has
used In his yards for years with marked
success.

From the time the chick is Matched

Its development A chick that Is

with improper management of the In.

variab!y the best.
Leghorns and MInorcas can be kept
until they are two and one.half years
old with profit Quite a number Of
poultry raisers have told men that
they thought hens would return al.
most as much the second year as the
first, even II they did not lay quite so
many eggs. They eat far less 10 their
second year being matured. A pullet
Is always more voracious than hen.
l do not think that they return as
much profit In the second year; how
ever, l keep my hens until they are
twO.years old.
Chicks intended for layers must be
we'll nourished from birth and never
allowed to stop growing until they
mature. A March or April Matched
pullet Of the Leghorn breed will com.
mence to lay 10 October II she comes
from precocious flock. If she has
been Matched 10 June or July, do not
expect any eggs until January. In cold
climates this means no eggs practi-
cally until spring. A pullet that has
not commenced to lay before cold
weather is usually haro to coax. Early
matches and continued good care Is
the secret Of early layers and hearty

How to Plant the Trees.

F. Birot, civil engineer, and former
conductor Of the bureau OF bridges
and highways, expresses himself as
follows on the subject:
in countries where the climate Is
damp roadside trees are prejudicial to
the maintenance OF the highways, as
they prevent the circulation OF the air
and the drying Of the soil; In most of
the southern French regions such
plantations are, on the other hand,
very useful In dry weather, as they
maintain the roadbed In a state OF
freshness favorable to its conserva.
ton. In general, trees should be Sc.
lected with high spreading branches,
such as the poplar, the elm, the ash,
and they should be planted generally
upon the outer edge Of the roadbox
aud at distances of 10 meters 1890
feet. Each tree should be placed In a
hole l meter 1928 feet) deep and II
meters (4.92 feet square, and should
be trimmed to height OF q meters
1920 feet) above the surface.
1.-THE earth about newly planted
trees should be loosened In March and
November--in March only after the
third year-and thereafter until their
permanent growth appears assured;
small trenches should be directed
toward the foot OF the tree, In order
to secure the benefit OF rains. Final.
ly, the tree itself should be trimmed
annually during the first ten years"

ABOUT ROAD
SIDE TREES

In answer TO inquiries from the
United States, Consul.General Robert
p. Skinner, OF Marseille, furnishes the
following information relative TO the
effect Of wayside trees on French
roads.
at is proposed to plant trees along
the Ioadsides Of New York state In
order to keep the moisture In the road
and prevent raveling, and the ques-
tion has been raised whether or not the
roots OF such trees may spread out un.
derneath the road surface, and EVENT.
ally create great damage in severe
climate where there are extremes Of
heat and cold. While French roads
are not always bordered with shade
trees, they are so very frequently, and
my information Is that the trees are
planted not only for furnishing shade,
but In order to protect the roads
themselves against the effects OF ex.
cessive heat and drought. 1t Is be.
lieved that the long dry summer sea.
son Is much more inimical to roads
than severe cold. The chief officer In
charge OF the public roads in Marseille
Is OF the opinion that, on the whole,
New York roads would be benefited II
bordered with trees, suggesting, how.
ever, that only such should be planted
as have vertically descending roots u
