Racing Autoists Give Motor Cop
 A Tough Sprint
Gorgas Testifies CauIkins Tried to Buy Him, But Latter Said He Merely Wished to Settle at Once

Fines of $20 and costs of about $4 were imposed upon Frederick Caulkins, an automobile dealer of Middletown, Conn, and Thornton c. Thayer, son of the vice president of the Union Trust Go. of New York city, when the two were convicted of automobile speeding, in the city court today.
 Caulkins was questioned at length as to an attempt to avoid being taken to police headquarters by payment of a sum of money to Motorcycle Police man Gorgas who apprehended the two drivers. He denied that he attempt ed to bribe Gorgas, and said he mere ly wished to effect an immediate set clement to avoid being detained. Cor gas testified that he said he wanted to avoid arrest because being a deal CT he could not afford to have a con- viction against his name, for two con- victions would entail the forfeiture of his license.
 Gorgas took up the pursuit of the 5:3O last evening. Young Thayer, aged 20, was trying to pass Caulkins, and the latter put on more speed. The two raced, in each trying to avoid the others dust. Gorgas clocked Caulkins, who fell to the rear, and got his speed as 35 miles per hour, and with the add3tional speed made by Thayer in drawing away, he esti- mated it at from 38 to 40 miles
 F. c. Nichols, agent for the Wheeler estate, and a relative of young Thayer, made an eloquent plea for the young prisoner, calling to mind his distin- guished ancestry and the prominence of his family, at which Caulkins arose and declared that If any leniency was to be shown, he was entitled to it, for it was he who had first slackened his pace in the race.
 Both men paid their fines.

Eva The Tramp
 Came Got Full
 And Went Again

About dozen years ago one of the most familiar female figures in police circles was Eva, the tramp" Eva vanished from the gay precincts of the midway years ago, and of late she has been living In the quietude of a little domestic circle in Hartford, Conn But Eva came back. like the proverb- iaI cat, and her return was accom- panied by unusual circumstances.
 Eva visited police headquarters early this week. She had come from Hart ford, she said, to spend a day or two on a little outing. She shook hands with the patrolmen, talked of the good old days, when she averaged an arrest a month, and shed a tear or two in recollection of the frol1csome career she enjoyed
 She must have felt one of her former attacks coming on, for she asked the sergeant to safeguard her valuables. She turned over s16 and a gold watch she said she could get s10 on the watch any time-and said au revolr to the sergeant
 Late last night Eva returned. Not the way she might have come back, perhaps, but 1t was Eva, nevertheless and she was leaning upon the arm of stalwart Patrolman Herb. He just had to arrest her, because she was likely to start riot as the result of too many libations to the good old days.
 This morning Eva presented the pie ture of an ideal housewife when she was arraigned before Judge Wilder. Neatly clad, clean and thoroughly re- covered from her excesses of last ev- ening, she addressed the court in re- spectful tones and promised to leave the city at once. Judge Wilder let her. go.
 Eva waited only long enough to col lect her money and watch, then start ed for the train for Hartford.

LAND OF THE HOBBY.

Hobbies of public men will creep out in the summer days. To find President Taft sweltering over a golf bali. Vice-President Sherman on the front seat at a ball game, Senator Frye fishing, Senator Tillman in the garden, Secretary Knox behind a spanking pair of horses-these "avo- cations" are now looked upon as d matter of course, and not hobbies. But when one hears of Champ Clark knuckled down to a good old-fashion- ed game of Democratic marbles and playing for keeps,'' the well-season- ed reporters are amazed and join in a chorus of Fen Dubbs'-and no Judging.
 Hobbies date back to time immem- ent Swedish visitor, they have thriv- ed most in America, the land of their adoption. America" he declares lis the land of the hobby. Every Ameri- can must have his particular craze, whether it be chasing butterflies or forming trusts. All things are secon- dary to the omnipetent hobby"
 But the hobby, whether it concern rules of living, the sciences, fancy gardening or whatnot, has it's uses "For most of us the earth is a dull planet'-or so, at least, the popular Arnold Bennett has averred, and the hobby, which must stimulate enthu- siasm and nbition. necessar rily makes mundane existence less tire some. Its tone is optimistic, says BaIzac: "A hobby is the exact mean ing between pessimism and monoma- nia."

Young Bully Kills
 Man Who Ever Had

 New York, June 16-For years cheer full old William Bley, who played the French horn in HammerStein'S theatre orchestra, staked the Paddy's Market gang, a bunch of non- working young sters who hung out along West 39th street, to growler money. Each morn ing as he Wended his way home he would produce the needed coins to fill the big pail with the beer the crowd wanted Yesterday, however, one of the gang struck an old friend of Bley's and he swore he was through with the crowd So when he was asked for the price" today, he warmly denounced the gang.
 Despite his many kindnesses, one of the crowd, a powerful young bully, felled the old man with fearful blow to the jaw and another kicked him in the head as he fell. Bley was dead when the police arrived, and detectives are now seeking his assailants.

GROWTH IN LIME INDUSTRY.
Wide and Increasing Use of the Pro- duct Shown by United States Geological Survey Report
 Value to Agriculture.

The manufacture of lime in the United. States is large, important and rapidly growing industry. Few mineral products have so wide a va r1ety of uses as lime A little more than half the lime manufactured in the United States is used as a struc- tural material, and the remainder amounting to more than 1,350000 tons, valued at about $5,250,OOO, is used for chemical purposes. The principal uses which lime has in building operations are in lime mor- tars and plasters, in gazing Portland cement mortars, concrete, and gypsum plasters, and as a whitewash. Both quick and hydrated lime are used in building operations.
 Lime is burned in nearly all the States and Territories, Pennsylvania leading in 1909 with a value of more than S2,500,000. The total produc- ton for 1909 was 3,472,S52 short tons valued at s13,SO5. .4O5, the highest in the history of the industry and an in crease over the figures for 1908 oi nearly 25 per cent. The average price per ton in 1909 was $3.9S. In ad- dition to these figures, lime to the value of SIS, ,405 was produced in 1909 from burning oyster shells These and other statistics of lime production and notes on the manufacture of hy- drated lime, by Ernest F. Burchard. of the United States Geological Sur vey are given in a separate chapter of Mineral Resources for 1909, the compilation being the result of CO., operation between the Geological Survey and the Bureau of the Census
 Many Uses of Lime
 According to MT. Burchard, recent tests have indicated that magnetism times are generally best suited to structural work and high-calcium lines to chemical purposes, but for certain uses the reverse of this rule IS true, and for many applications in each branch of industry either type of lime is equally well suited. The chemical uses of lime are much more Ing. Lime is used for soil renovation or sweetening, for insecticides and fung1c1des, for egg preservation, for water and sewer purification, as a dis lEfectant and deodorizer, for bleach Ing, in the manufacturing of numer- ous chemicals. in gas manufacture, in the milling industry, in paint and var nISn manufacture, and in the paper, smeltlng, beet-sugar, tanning, and many other industries
 It IS not known what amount of lime Is used for agricultural purposes put MT. Burchard notes that many of the producers reporting to the Sur NCy are farmers who do not operate on a commercial scale but merely Durn kiln or two of lime occasional tons lime IS known to be very exten- sively used as a soil sweetener, and most of the State agricultural experi- ment stations have published bulle- tins discussing it's effect on farm crops.

DIRT AND DISEASE PARTNERS

Dirt and disease have gone hand in hand too long. As modern surgery owes its rapid strides to the banish- ment of dirt from the operating room, so modern medicine is to come into US own through the banishment of dlrt from our communal life
 Tn most of our cities we are still in that rudimentary state of sanitary knowledge where we know no better than to surround ourselves with the V1lest elements of human waste. We stlil suffer to remain, even in crowded quarters of our cities, thousands of Vile privies, vaults, sinks, cesspools and outdoor closets. Baltimore has 10000 earth closets and is only now installing a system of public sewers. St. Louis can still show 12000 privy vaults. Philadelphia.

HUMAN LIFE OF SLIGHT
 VALUE IN CHINA

Americans who have visited China often comment on the slight value placed upon human life. At this time the plague is raging in Manchu- ria, and is killing large numbers of the Chinese. Of peculiarly de- structive form, the Manchurian pla- que kills everyone attacked. as the germ affects the lungs and thrives in cold weather.
 The Chinese fearing that the Jap anese and Russians would improve the opportunity to close in on Man churia, have been forced to take ac- tion, and with theip foreign trained doctors and isolated camps have SCOT ed some little victories, although at a terrible loss of mortality. One ad- vance is the permission by the Chi nese to destroy the masses of corpses before, and conflicting with their re- ligious ideas but compelled by the circumstances of the case.
 Warm weather will put an end to the plague, in the deadly pneumonia form at least. In the bubonic form and India, though as demonstrated in Singapore, Hongkong, India and other places. modern science has eff fectually coped with it in many in- stances. Capable physicians a suf- ficient sanitary staff, antiseptics and a population submissive to drastic measures, such as isolation of vic of infected property-these measures it is thought, would soon curb the fla tai ravages of the new form of the plague-"Affairs at Washington" Joe Mitchell Chapple, in Rational Magazine for June.
