Big Chance for Mistakes.

Code letters are added to the cable for
IL and 1OS257121. and If when the message
is decodified these do not check. mis-
take has been made somewhere; the ca
BILE company is asked to repeat and the
error is recttied. AS a matter or fact'
operators, when they pass all day race
to face with such enlightening words as
.zumenfotia' are liable to slip up sood
deal, especially as the record OF cape
message consists merely of wavy me
and the letters are signiied simply by the
amount of deviation Of the lines on each
side of the center, which only practiced
eye can estimate.
But the result of the enforcement OF the
regulations of the cable companies IS
that some of the codes now In use Will
need to be revised completely. They have
resulted in the coming of words which
trip far less glibly from the tongue than
'.zumenfofia." and to rectify them they
must be taken to pieces and reconstructed
from the very bottom.
So. whether 1t will be much use to cable
companies to feel certain that they can
nronounce everything they send. or not,
the business houses with faulty systems
will be put to much Inconvenience and
expense, and the code experts are likely
to be busy.

handsome return. The boil weevil
does not cut any figure with the po.
tato and cattle crop. and the owners
are sure OF their money; they are not
only sure OF II but already have IL in
their pockets and there are no days
and nights OF uncertainty about II.
Not only that. but the potato crop Is
now out of the way and the land is In
fine condition for another crop. Either
more Irish potatoes. sweet potatoes,
June corn. peas. sorghum, or any one

Cotton Is the most uncertain Of all
crops. It takes more work and longer

harvest and get II ready for market
than anything else that can be grown.
and now with the boil weeyil here by

wha, to expect until II is picked and

The thing TO do Is TO get out OF the
old rut. Diversity. plant other things
besides cotton. raise everything pos.

EASY WAY TO LOSE
FOR SUGAR TRUST

New York, December 1.-The fruitful
opportunity for fraud in the haste and
hustle of the enormous business done
daily on the Williamsburg docks of the
American Sugar Refining company was
what the government sought to bring out
today in it's prosecution of the six former
employees of the company, now on trial
charged with defrauding the government
by underweight.
David Fragner, customs inspector.
and once an assistant government weigh
er, testified that at busy time two
trucks a minute passed over a single set
of scales, or eight to the minute on the
four sets In use there for every hour
of the day. Each truck weighed half a
ton and each half ton, the government
will contend. was weighed Is pounds
short because of the secret manipulations
of the government employees. who, 1t is
charged. were paid cash by the sugar
company for the evasion of customs
duties.
If the game ran properly the govern
ment stood to lose its dues on $3.50 pounds
of sugar every hour.
AS this steady flood of trucks rolled
across the scales, the checker who stood
next the weigher was too busy, said
Fragner to watch him. John ]. Lough-
ran. a checker, was asked IL all the en-
tries to which he certified represented
weights he had seen the weigher find.
Not at ALL" he admitted. Sometimes
had to be away"

Woman Is Charged With
Murder OF Her Niece

New York, December Virginia Ward
law, gray haired spinster was arraigned
before a recorder at East Orange, n. j.,
today, formally charged with the muir
der of her young niece, Mrs. Ocey W.
n. Snead, whose body was found in
bath tub in a deserted house in East
Orange Monday. Death according to
the coroner, was due to drowning in less
than foot of water, but in view of
mysterious features of the case--the
young ~woman's detention In a deserted
house while aavins $4,000 insurance
policy on her jife. and ewrling property
In Brooklyn valued at $4,000, and her
apparent helpessness for months past.
Miss Wardlaw was held without bail for
examination Monday.
Two other women. said to have been
associated with the victim. are under sur
veillance according to the police.
The Wardlaw woman's demeanor in
court today was grim and taciturn and
In keeping with the mystery which sur
rounds the case When the formal
charge of murder was read she manifested
no emotion, but when taken to q cell
broke down and wept, evincing concern
over her nieces body, which, she said,
she feared would be buried in Potter's
field.
The police theory is that Mrs. Snead
