CHARLES S. WHITMAN.

When Charles S. Whitman became
district attorney of New York county
last January, he found that William
Travers Jerome had made it an office
with a national reputation through his
efforts to Jail certain heads of big cor
porations. Mr. or, beg pardon, Judge
Whitman, for he was on the bench be-
fore he ran for district attorney-has
succeeded to keep his office in the
limelight, though perhaps unconscious
ly, by entirely different methods. There
are certain judges in New York who
would like to put Whitman across their
knees and administer the proverbial
slipper with such certainty that he
would find dining off the mantlepiece
more comfortable than sitting at the
table for a while. Why? Simply be-
cause in his rush to perform the duties
of his office and keep everybody busy
he has developed the unpleasant habit
of sitting in court with his watch in
his hand, which some Of the judges
have resented as his taking account
of the time they arrive at and leave
court. Judge Whitman says he has no
such intention, but his time is SO val
liable that he has to keep a strick ac-
count Of it, and naturally keeping tab
upon himself in his relations with
others brings them under his obser-
vation as we'll.
Whitman comes of fine ancestry and
is full of life and energy. His we'll
knit, well-muscled frame fairly vi
brates with the sort of health one finds
out of doors. His eye is as clear
and hard and grey as a winter sky.
Dne can find plenty of fight in that
square, bony jaw, and if the face seems
at first thought rather youthful, on sec
ond glance one sees in it the fine lines
that tell of a life of thought and ac-
ton. He was born in Norwich, Conn.,,
AZ years ago, and went to New York
in 1890 There he has been active as
teacher, practicing attorney and final
ly as magistrate. During his years on
The bench he studied political and So
cial conditions with an acute insight
that earned him a standing with think
ing men. He has been an OutSpoken
foe of graft, no matter where found,
and a valiant defender of the police
patrolmen, though he has not hesitated
70 attack conditions enforced upon
them by others.
And he's a good fellow. He doesn't
try to assume the dignity of the entire
superior bench. He says "sHowdy do"
as if it didn't hurt him, and shakes
hands with a grip that hurts. He can
play as we'll as work, and tell a good
story with any man. But he can't be
fooled
Since he has been district attorney
he has made an unprecedented record
in clearing the calendar, many of the
cases on which he received as a heri-
tage of office.

Water has a greater influence in
plant and crop production than any
other elements. The Cascade range
of mountains is a great reservoir.
where moisture is stored in the form
of snow and melted into streams of
water to irrigate the rich volcanic ash
soils sloping toward the east. On the
western slope there is an abundance of
rain to supply plant production until
the month of July. But gardeners,
fruit growers and dairymen are now
figuring on how to make more use of
the copious rains of winter and spring
at the time when growing temperature
is at its best, through July and August
Many small pumping plants are pro-
jected and in some cases reservoirs
will serve the purpose.
The requirements of crops in the line
of moisture are little understood by
people in general and upon this sup
ply depends their growth. In the
United States large numbers of ex-
periments have shown that different
crops require varying amounts of
water some of them requiring as high
pound of dry matter. Recent expert
ments in Germany with a variety of
,,ln CHI of nf
water to one part of dry matter. This
is figured out as IA inches of rain for
a crop of four and one-half tons of hay
to the acre. The hay crop demands
very much upon the availability of the
water In dry seasons the hay crop
is always short and in moist seasons
always large. This applies to all parts
of the world. In Germany experiments
were carried on during 1904 to show
the increase in yield due to irrigation.
With oats irrigation gave a gain of
35 per cent in the grain and Sc per
cent in the straw. In wheat the grain
increased "a per cent and the straw
169 per cent. In grass the first cutting
showed an increase of 220 per cent
and the third cutting 34S per cent.
The yield of hemp was increased
by irrigation 46 per cent The actual
value of the increase in crops for each
cubic meter of water applied was 1.3
cents to 3.3 cents. A cubic meter is
approximately cube of 80 inches Fig
ured on one foot of water over an acre
this increase was worth from $27 to
$50 per acre. This is a large value
for even that amount of water.
Soil moisture is closely related to
soil fertility. The plant must take it's
food in the form of a solution. 1t can

After DisreputabIe Houses, Gam

Secret Service Man, in Charge.
New York, Nov. 19.-The change in
the police department, predicted ever
since Mayor Gaynor took Office, has
come. The changes made strike at
the foundation of the police depart.
ment and shift the entire detective
force to a new footing.
Beginning at once there will be no
more branch detective bureaus in any
of the boroughs, except Brooklyn,
which by geographical necessity has
always been something of a law unto
itself
Detectives will no longer report to
districts, but to a lieutenant captain
of detectives. He will be directly re.
sponsible to the inspector at head
quarters in charge of the entire bu.
reau, who in turn is under the second
deputy commissioner, William Flynn
In short the plain clothes man, with
the ready errand runner for "the sys
tenn" has come to the end of his rope
o. nd ha pit tu Of hiTNA
Detectives will be no part of the pre-.
cinct command and will work indie
pendently of the uniformed police
This is the policy of the English de
tective force. which works under Scot.
land Yard, a centralized control; and
1t is also in line with the policy of the
federal secret service in this country
When crime is reported the com
plant will be turned over to the lieu
tenant captain in charge or detectives
for the precinct. and also transmitted
over the department wires to hesd
quarters. Sixty men will be kept there
for emergency assignments and spe
cial work. The clerical force, number
ing 100 men, will take their turn in
the streets and all the precinct mer
will be kept at patrol work.
More than 900 detectives will have
to adjust themselves to the new order
They will have nothing to do with
gambling, disreputable houses and so
liciting, which will be looked after by
special vice squad. Their business
will be to run down criminals anC
nothing else. They will even refrain
from making arrests wherever posi-
BILE, leaving that to the uniformed off
