RAILWAY TO PAY

Damages For MorChantablG
Young Growth Is Precedent.
GOVERNMENT. IS LEGAL VICTOR

Establishes Expectation Value" OF
Timber In South Dakota Case For
First Time In America, Though Prac-
toe Is Common In European Forestry
and Insurance.
In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills national forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River and Northwestern railroad the
jury has awarded damages to the gov
eminent not only for the loss of mer-
charitable timber, but also for the de
struction of understandable young
growth.
This is regarded as establishing an
important precedent. So far as is
known at the department of agricu
ture. 1t is the first time that any court
has recognized what foresters call the
expectation value" of young growth
as furnishing a basis for the award Of
damages.
Hard to Prove Loss.
The difficulty in the way of such an
award in the past has been that there
was no way to prove to the satisfac-
ton OF the courts the money value Of
the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence
as to the cost of work in reforesting.
which the government is actually do
ing in the Black hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth burned
was S12 an acre. and the claim under
this item was allowed in full by the
jury. The total amount of damages
claimed was $3.T2S.S5 of which So
634.45 was for merchantable timber
destroyed or injured by the fire.
1t is recognized by foresters that the
cost of artificial refOrestatiOn will not
always furnish a fair basis for esti
mating the damage to forest reproduc
ton. Where new growth can be eX
pected by natural sowing from seed
trees on the ground within shOr'
time artificial planting or sowing is an
unnecessarily expensive method. To
meet such asses what are known aS
"yield table," are being prepared. BY
the use of these the loss can be shown
in terms of the final crop and the time
necessary to produce it,
Easy to Calculate,
Thus If it is known that 10000 fec
of timber per acre can be cut once in
seventy years it is easy to calcuat,
the value of the crop when 1t is tel
years old by discounting from its
value when mature.

He Can BE Rich Man.
Assistant Declares.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 24.-An attempt
has been made to bribe Prosecutor
Pierre p. Garven. of Hudson county,
te drop the prosecution of the meat
packers, according to a statement made
today by an official of Mr. Garven's
Office. n
The allegation is that two men from
Chicago approached an acquaintance of
Mr.. Garven's and indirectly suggested
that the prosecutor could retire a rich
man if he would drop the prosecution
of the meat packers. These men. 1t is
further alleged, asked whether the
prosecution of the packers was a ques-
ton of money, and added that Mr.. Gar
ven could come into possession of d
large sum if he would drop the present
proceedings.
The official declined to give the name
of Mr. Garvens friend who was ap-
proa ohed in the matter.
When the report of the alleged at
tempted bribery was brought to Mr..
Garven's attention he made no direct

SEYLER'5 TORTURE
BY Third DEGREE
Arc CUES SENATOR
Introduces Resolution in Upper
House Demanding Investiga-
ton of Police Methods.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-If reso-
luton introduced in the Senate today
by Senator Hepburn is adopted the
Senate will take up the Seyler case. A
resolution provides for the appointment
of select committee of three to ia
vestlgate 1.-THE practise OF administering
wnat Is known as the third degree
ordeal by officers of the law tor the
purpose Of extorting statements and
concessions from those charged with
crime"
Mr.. Hepburn said he had read an
article from Washington paper giving
an account of the methods said 10 have
been resorted to by the Atlantic City
police to obtain a confession from Will
lam Seyler, charged with the murder OF
Jane Adams. He asserted that such
methods were more cruel than those
of the inquisition. They were not onty
barbarous, he said, but are in direct
conflict with American institutions, un-
der which an officer is prohibited from
talkirg with his prisoner on the subject
of the charge against him.
No one with proper sense of duty
would resort to such a practise In OH
tanning testimony against an accused
person and no brutal custom should
drive an official to subject such per-
son to a probate trial before his APP
pearance in open court" declared Sen
ator Hepburn. "Such a condition Is
revolving to the senses and l think the
entire subject should be investigated. /"
The resolution was referred to the
committee on judiciary. s.

AGED WOMEN IN
PERIL AT 100000
PATERSON BLAZE
Two Saved by Firemen, and
Another Overcome as Flames
Threatened Whole Block.

PATERSON, Feb. ga fire that
started at 10 o'clock this morning in a
garage on Van Houten street, Paterson,
did over 100000 damage, imperiled the
lives of several people and threatened
the destruction of an entire block In on
of the most thickly settled sections of
the city before it was finally gotten
under control. A bursting electric hgnt
bulb in the rear of the garage ignited
tank of gasoline, and the entire place
was a mass of flames when the firemen
arrived.
The spread OF the flames was so rapid
that houses on both sides of the garage
were soon in flames. Mrs. Mary Tamb
and Mrs. Mary Quinlan. two aged
& omen who resided on the top iioor of
one of the dwellings, were rescued after
considerable difficulty. In another
house Mrs. S. S. Smith was found ef-
come by smoke by the firemen and Nas
removed to safety. The immense grain
warehouse of Van Winkle Brothers
was saved only after the hardest kind
of fight.
The destruction of this building
would have meant a threatened repeti-
tion of Patersons historic fire some
years ago. So fiercely and rapidly did
the flames spread that only three auto
mobiles out of the fifteen in the gar
age were saved. 1t is estimated that
the twelve that were destroyed We're
valued at over 100000. Reynolds Sc Ty-
nan, owners of the garage, place their
loss at $4,000, while neighborlng
houses were damaged to the extent of
over $4,000.

LEE nTvoprE SUIT COMES
UP FOR AIRING IN COURT

The family troubles of DR.. Frank
Lee, Red Bank dentist, were started
on the road to a thorough airing to-
day in Vice Chancellor Emery's court,
when the divorce application Of Mrs.
Mary A. Lee came up for hearing.
Mrs. Lee accuses her husband of
being friendly with Miss Eta Schenck.
now of Long Branch. who was in court
today, and alleges that she has been
dependent upon others for support for
herself and three children.
DR.. Lee denies the charges of his
wife, and says even If they were true,
they were condoned by the fact that
she forgave him. In support of this
he cites that a divorce suit begun by
his wife in September. 1908, was with
drawn when they were reconciled Oc-
tober 9. 1908. They lived together un-
til December 5. when he says she left
him. William Pinbard represents the
husband and Joseph Kelley the wife.

There was a dramatic scene at Jer-

noon when Rodger and Gayle Young
confronted William Boyd, a Pullman
porter. who had been arrested in Wash
ington, d. c.. on suspicion of being the
man who shot down Harrison S. Higbis

d Jersey Central train returning from
theatre party in Manhattan yester-
day morning.

Young. "but | would not be positive"
Rodger Young said he thought Boyd
was the man but he wasn't sure.
BOYD, whose run Is from Jersey City
to Washington, had in his possession
when arrested ticket for Pittsburg.
The police say he was on the train
when the shooting occurred. Boyd, the
police say, admits this. but will not say
who he was with He says he will not
make any statement until he talks with
a lawyer. The police say that Boyd
had been showing a Colt magazine re-
volver, which he had bought at a store
In New York. that was similar to the
gun used in the train shooting.
When the detectives went to 70

Boyd, they found that he was not at

SAY EMPLOYEES OF BOARD
OF WORKS DON'T PAY BILLS


President August +. Eggers, of the
Board of Works, at the meeting today
said that he had received numerous
complaints from tradesmen that some
employees of the board do not pay
their bills He said that the complaints
were principally against men who drew
good salaries, $l25 to $3.50 a month. The
board should compel the men to pay
their just debts, he said.
Commissioner Denman said he didn't
think the board should be made q coll
lection agency. Judgments should be
obtained, he said.
Small storekeepers are suffering the
most said Commissioner Eggers.
Employees of the board have even
borrowed money on the strength OF
their positions with the city. The po-
ice ard fire boards have adopted a rule
making the policemen and firemen pay
their bills. I think it good rule to
apply here"
Owing to the absence of two of the
commissioners. Ira Budd. who is Ill
and William Mungie, who is in Chicago
the matter went over for week.

Nearly all the State Departments OF
Agriculture have special contests In
which good prizes are offered. State
fairs offer liberal prizes. Various
boards OF trade. associations of bank
ers, and other business men have
given generously. and editors have
rendered valuable aid. The splendid
list OF prizes offered by The Pro-
gressive Farmer and Farm Gazette
can be compared only to the Intelli
gent and effective support given to
the work by this paper The Govern
ors and State Superintendent of
Public instruction In every Southern
State will give certificates OF merit
upon conditions about as fol-
lows: THE yield must not be below
rs bushels. and the cost per bushel
must not exceed 80 cents. Each boy
must submit a 10-ear exhibit and a
written record OF his work" These
certificates will be most valuable
prizes. because they will be certifi-
Gates OF distinction and honor.

trip to Washington to the Mississippi
boys last year. The Bankers Asso-
citation OF Arkansas duplicated the

riculture gave diplomas to the four
boys and they received other marked
attentions during the week thew

CHICKS.

Messrs. Editors: The first days
life OF chick to us is the most i'm
portant one. We must treat them
as we would newborn babe.
Would we think Of taking a baby
out OF room with a temperature Of
say Is degrees to one Of so or S.?
Chilling and dampness affects the
stomach of baby, causing colds and
collie. It's the same way with the
stomach Of a chick, this chilling
causes bowel trouble which asserts
itself in from 3 to days, and given
3 or days with this trouble, we
reach the fatal 7th, where we will
find the greatest mortality among
our chicks.
Another great factor in the pro-
duction of bowel trouble is the habit
that great many of us practice of
giving our newly Matched chicks feed
TOO early in life. We prefer to let
our chicks remain in the machine
for AZ to 60 hours. After they ap-
pear to be well dried we open the
door and remove the chicks to the
bottom of the incubator, as well as

KEEP THE CHICKS GROWING.
Four Reasons Why This Must Be
Done if Profits Are Expected.

Messrs. Editors: The caption of
this article needs to be emphasized
every year. Keep the chicks grow
ing" contains as much chicken sense
as can be condensed into four words.
There is a reason" for this advice.
l. A chicken whose growth is re-
tarded from any cause, seldom
or never makes up for the loss. 1t
almost invariably will be deficient in
size, and frequently it will be de-
ficient in figure and plumage. The
largest and best chickens are those
which never stop growing from the
time they are Matched to the time
they are fully developed
2. All retardation of growth
means loss of food. The food con-
sumed by chicken while it stands
still in growth or goes backward is
a total loss. Insignificant in amount
it may be, where there are only a
few chickens, but not insignificant
where there are many chickens.
3. 1t the retardation in growth is
for any considerable period, such de-
velopment as the chick makes will
be later in time. Pullets whose
growth has been retarded may not
be sufficiently developed in the fall
to begin laying, and subject to some
exceptions, pullets which do not be-
gin to lay in the fall lay few or no
eggs in the winter. A few weeks
cessation in growth may thus mean
several months of delay in begin
ming to lay, during which time they
make no return for the food they
consume.
a. This fourth reason may be re-
garded as a sentimental one, but
sentiment plays an important part
in all our lives. Chickens which do
not make steady and continuous
growth do not give the pleasure in
raising that is desirable from those
which do. One takes comfort in
watching the unretarded develop
ment OF a flock Of chickens, but a
flock which makes no progress
furnishes only anxiety.
For all of the above reasons,
practical and sentimental, it is wise
to keep the chickens growing by
giving them proper surroundings,
food and care. If one matches chick
ems at all, he should keep them
growing. UNCLE 10.

FORTY THOUSAND BOYS IN ONE

Continued from Page 1881
The father of one of the last years
prize winners told me not long ago
that his boy would get up at daylight
in order to see how much his corn
had grown the night before. He
also said that boy kept the hen-house
about as clean as a croQuet ground
in order to get manure for a side
dressing for his corn. 1t is positive
ly inspiring to hear about the efforts
OF these boys to learn and to use
what they learn. Surely a boy like
