Moran's independence was shown in starting the campaign for Governor when he summarily dis charged his three managers and con- ducted his campaign alone.
 Fearless, energetic and industrious, District Attorney Moran made specta- cular investigations of alleged irregu- larities in the county. At one time he summoned the entire Massachusetts Legislature before the Grand Jury to give evidence as to alleged bribery in the 'anti-Bucket Shop" bill. It was found the members were immune, as they had given evidence before @ leg islative committee. Eventually, one of the Legislature was eXpell- ed on charges of having received bribe.

U JelllLIes
 President Connecticut Oyster
 mems Association:
 In answer to your questions for further explanation as to the rights of the city to lay harbor lines in Bridgeport harbor, I would call your attention to my former opiniol wherein it is stated:
 1. That the State of Connecticut in the interests of navigation, has the right to establish harbor lines as against the unexercised right of wharfing out without mourning any damages whatsoever.
 2. That the State may delegate this power to the city of Bridgeport and confer upon the city the same immunity as the State itself has.
 3. That the charter of 1906 requir- ed in express terms that the city pay all damages for laying harbor lines, etc.
 4. That any harbor line laid under the old charter, whereby any kind of damages were inflicted, would nec- essarily have to be paid for by the city
 D. That the section ill the old charter requiring the city to pay damages, etc, has been omitted in the new charter from the provisions requiring payment.
 6. That, while there was doubt about the matter, still it was my opinion that if line were laid under the new charter in the interests of navigation that the city would thereby incur no liability for dam ages.
 [. That, whatever, if any, doubt

JAIL SENTENCES FOR POLICY MEN
 WITH RECORDS
Judge Pullman Could Not, 9e See That Simple Fines Made Any Impression in Stopping the Game, Which He Called the Most Per nicious Form of Gambl- ing.

The policy game in this city received a hard blow this morning in the city court, when Judge Pullman fined each of the seven prisoners caught in the raid Thursday afternoon $100. and add ed a jaii sentence in three cases. In addition to the fine, John Carpenter received a. sentence of 30 days in jail and Edward Quigley and John Dustin each had 20 days, tackled on to their punishment
 Attorney F. A. Bartlett appeared for the policy men. All plead guilty. Sev- en men were accused of gambling and violation of the special provisions of the statutes concerning policy playing.
 They were John Carpenter, George Moore. John Smith, John Dustin, James Cox, Edward Quigley. and George F'arnam.
 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney had prepared the police records for Car penter and Dustin in this city and also that of Quigley in New Haven.
 Carpenters name was the first on the list. Before passing Judgment Judge Pullman made some pertinent remarks concerning the game. He said 1t was the most perniciOuS form Of gambling The records of arrests and fines did not seem to have any in- nuenCe m SLOpplnS the game
 The record of Qugley in New Haven did not indicate that the Elm City of ficials were having any better success in suppressing the game than those of this city. Carpenters police record went back to 1892. The judge evident ly regarded him as the king pin in the game for he fined the accused $100 and costs which is the limit and added jail sentence of thirty days.
 o,,;o1o1y'c raoor6 in New Haven back to 1S87 He has been in this city only a few months and the judge add ed jail sentence of only 20 days to his s1OO fine, which showed a certain recognition of the laws of hospitality and the courtesy due a stranger. Dus- tins record was read. It went back only to 1906, but he got 20 days added to his fine of $100 just the same. All If the others got off with a fine of S10o each.
 Every case was appealed. Those who got off with 8 simple fine put up ], bond of $150 each. The others put ID s2OO for appearance in the Superior court

HOW TO STORE THE POTATOES
Good Way to Keep Spuds and Other
Vegetables is to Dig Cave In
Side Of a Hill.

The best way to make cave for
keeping spuds and vegetables is to dig
in the side of hill. The walls
should be slightly slanting from top
to bottom and laid up with adobe
bricks to prevent caving in. Then
plaster with clay and sand, or cement
is better. The adobes are laid about
two feet higher than the top Of the
earth to provide room for small win.
dow in one end. The top is covered
with boards. then tar paper. Adobes
are then laid over this and then clay
about two inches deep for a covering.
Two doors should be provided. one
straight door for the inside and. a
slanting one on the outside; also a
double window.

METHODS OF GROWING WHEAT

There is a right way and wrong

prepared seed bed seeded by the use
of drill to a hardy variety of win
ter wheat. such as the Turkey Red
and its kindred varieties, at the
proper season. II any of these con-
ditions are wanting. the crop will
be decreased proportionately. II the
land is not rich. n 30.bushel crop of
winter wheat cannot be expected, to
say nothing of from 40 to Go bushels
which western growers often take of.
II the seed bed is not properly pre-.
pared, whether the land is rich or
poor, the planter need not expect n
large crop. Softer varieties of winter
wheat are not adapted to this country.
II winter wheat is sown broadcast in.
stead of drilled 1t is more than likely
to fail, for while we have known good
crops to be grown from broadcast
seeding. 1t was only when the land
was rich, water was plentiful and tho
season favorable.

GRASS MULCH IN ORCHARDS
New York Experiment Station Finds
Cultivatins or Dust Mulch Meth
cd to Be Preferable.

The New York Agricultural Expert.
ment station has compared cultivat-
ing and grass mulching an orchard by
actual practice and found In favor of
the cultivated or dust mulch method
and the difference in favor of the cul-
tivated plot was mainly attributed to
the better moisture content of the soil,
the sod using too large n proportion
of the water for the good OF the trees.
1t would be interesting for u. p. He'd.
rick. in charge. to carry the expert
ment on little farther by watering
the sod orchard once or twice during
the dry season. or have both plots
irrigated alike.
Some Of the best apple growers on
the Pacific coast have done more or
less cropping principally with the
leguminous grasses. lately. but they
use more water in the irrigat!ons than
when clean cultivation is the prac-
tice. The station report did not indi
cate the character of the grass and
sod. II makes wide difference
whether timothy or vetch is grown,
and whether the mulch is two or four
inches deep. Moisture control Is the
greatest object in crop production and
how TO solve the problem OF handling
the orchard soil most economically
with that in view is largely n local
question, depending on amount Of rain
fall. natural moisture content of the
soil and convenience for irrigation.
