neering Record New York, Aug. 49,
Says that paper:
'sThe lowering of ground water levels
by pun ping operations carried on in
connection with subway construction
may seriously affect foundations OF
adjacent buildings which are not sup,
ported on rock. In fact, deep excava-
tions in soft materials in city streets,
which are somewhat removed from
bodies of water, are often the source OF
considerable trouble because Of the
settling of buildings. AS the water is
removed from the subsoil there may
be not only vertical settlement, but
horizontal motion as well. The
movement of build ng near an exca-
walton is largely due to sliding of the
earth which underlies the building,
but where the structure is at consider
able distance from the digging opera
lions it may be that removal Of water
from the soil allows the latter to be

TAFT NOT 4 BARRIER

The friends of Mr.. Taft now have it
in mind to renominate him; that is,
n It SO much the friends-for few poll
ticians have friends-but those who
would circumvent the ambition of Col.
Roosevelt, see no one who they can
nominate next time, but Mr.. Taft.
They know he has been failure; they
know he has not now and never has
had any personal following; they
know that he would receive the nomi-
nation not because he is leader, but
sim ply because he is safe-that is safe
to do what his followers dictate; they
know that personally he is clean,
though weak; they know whilst not
m UGH could be said for him. no very
great deal could be said against him,
therefore, as last resort, VIM. II.
Taft will be the next regular standpat
candidate of the republican party for
president. At least that is safe pre-
diction now. Yet there Is this to reck-
on with. If Col. Roosevelt sees an
easier highway 10 the White House
through TIE republican nomination
than through New Nationalism, he
will take that road His actions at the
Saratoga con, ention today, and the
action of that convention toward him,
will have something to do with the
case. New York is controlled only by
money. Sentiment cuts less figure
there than in most States. The ques-
ton always uppermost in it is, show
will it affect stocks"? and if disas-
trously as they think, then no further
questions are asked. The Colonel is
going to be handicapped from now on.
Already John Temple Graves, Mr..
Hearst's representative, has called on
him. This looks as if the Hearst news
papers were to be at his back. Moth

York Business Interests.n Inasmuch,
therefore, as money moves the New
Y Yorker, the gathering of what to Wall
Street is SO dangerous an element as
MI. Hearst, may upset things bit,
and make MI. Ta1t's nomination easier.
Still he can never get it if Col. Roose-
welt wishes to travel by that route to
the White House.
In Tennessee the republicans have
determined to s'avenge the assassina-

Carmack. In the adjoining State Of
Kentucky, the republicans not only
assassinated q democratic governor of
the name of Goebel, but have recently
nominated one of his assassins for
Congress. Like trusts, there are good
and bad republicans.

HANG IN THE BALANCE.

A democratic senator from Maine
seems like a fairy tale. Yet there are
other States where the fate Of twenty
one republican senators will be decided
in November. Does any one not believe
that there is more likelihood of their
success in any Of these States than
there was In Maine, except-and the
exception is notable except, in Rhode
Island, which has long been and con-
tinues to be pocket borough ?
Twenty-one senator's hanging in the
balance looks dangerous for the G. O.P.

Baby Beef Pays Profit.

from being a road to wealth.

Poultry Pointers.

II you have a special egg trade, be
sure to furnish only the best during
the warm weather. Keep doubtful
eggs at home. as a bad egg may re-
suit in the loss OF a good customer.
Honesty in business is not only the
best policy, but it is an actual neces-
sity.
The hens will lay more eggs and be
healthier, if they are compelled to
take plenty of exercise. Make them
scratch for their living. Don't place
all the food they eat right before them
where all they have to do is to pick
II up. Make them forage for part OF
their living. Grain can be fed in lit
ter, thus compelling the hens to ex-
ercise while hunting for 1t.
1t has been conclusively proven that
hens kept in yard and fed right will
lay more eggs than hens that run at
large all over creation. The feed bill
will not be so large, either, a fact that
is worth considering.
II you keep mongrels or cross-bred
hens, buy a well built vigorous male
and see how much bigger, better lay
ers and more uniform the chicks will
De next summer.
What furnishes more material for
the white of eggs than corn does? A
bushel of wheat contains about one
tenth more protein, three per cent less
fat and nearly three times as much
fiber.
Now is a very good time to save out
the best pullets TO take the place Of
the discarded hens this fall. It pays
to keep the best stock In order to get
good results, and this can be done in
no other way any better than by con-
stantly culling and picking.
By handling the young chickens
gently as they grow up, they will be
tame and easily handled when they
become full grown. Wild and ner-
vous chickens will not do we'll and the
only way to prevent them from being
wild is to handle them gently from
the start.
10 NOT forget that your laying
hens are, or at least should be. grow
ing every day and are constantly IN
need of more room. They soon crowd
their quarters unless attended to
promptly at the proper times and will
contract some disease incident to close
quarters and impure air. See that
they have plenty Of room.

Sowing Wheat Late.

A little more Hessian fly than usual
has been found this season and since
there has been no general outbreak
OF this pest for some years and its
parasites may therefore be presumed
to be somewhat scarce, it will be beet
for farmers in localities where the fly
has appeared, to SOW their wheat a
trifle later this fall.
There is generally no danger from
Hessian fly, IL sowing does not precede
the normal date, and at present we
thing it hardly necessary to suggest
any further departure from the nor

should be in the direction of a week

are suffering today from bruises of
| the face and body that were sustain
ed in a thrilling encounter they had
with supposedly crazy man on the
| roof of the seven-story warehouse at
81 West Fortieth street, from which
he tried to hurl them and himself
to the street when they made an eff
fort TO subdue him.
For 80 minutes the policemen
| Kuntz. Klassett, Bartels and Sullivan
struggled from one end of the roof
TO the other. trying to tie his arms
and legs with a rope, but his agility
and almost superhuman strength en-
abled him on a number of occasions
to wrggle from under three of the
policemen while they sat on him as
the fourth tried to tie him.
KuntZ noticed the man, who is
known as Mclaughlin, on the roof
throwing bricks to the street and
| through a skyight. Several of the
stones. IN landing on the sidewalk,
barely missed pedestrians Kuntz
went to the office of the warehouse
At SO7 West Thirty-seventh street to
get key making an ineffect-
ual attempt to get into the building
to arrest Mclaughlin. -.
Donald Kanally, an employe of the
warehouse company, accompanied the
policeman to the warehouse and ad-
mitted him. on the way back Kuntz
picked up his three brother blue
coats All went to the roof together.
When they opened the skylight Nc
Loughlin showered them with bricks.
They were all struck, but fortunately
escaped serious injury.
When the policemen got on the
roof Mclaughlin made a rush for the
end as if he intended to jump to the
street. They seized him and a 80
minute struggle ensued in which Nc
Loughlin, who is tall and powerful,
punched and kicked the policemen.
Several times he knocked them down
and, breaking away, ran to the edge
of the roof, as though anxious to
jump. On both occasions he was
stopped.
He was finally jammed against a
chimney and then on his back on the
roof. One of the policemen slipped
a rope around his legs and, rendering
him almost helpless, tied his arms.
Then he was carried to the street and
placed in a patrol wagon and taken
to the New York hospital.
