Don't Drain the Niagara.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Congress should at once take steps
TO extend the life of the Burton act,
which limits the amount of water that
may be taken from the Niagara river
for water power. The life of the act
will expire on June 20 unless steps are
taken by the present Congress to ex-
lend il.
If such action is not taken manufac-
turers could greatly increase the
amount of water taken from the Amer
lean side of the river and greatly in
crease n also import much larger
quantities from the Canadian side.
Even with the present amount of
water allowed to be taken some Of the
GRANDEUR of the Niagara Falls has
gone, as any one who saw them ten
years ago, before the water power
tunnels went into operation, will dis
cover by noticing the diminished
amount that now sweeps over the falls.
especially on the American side of the
river.
II manufacturers are allowed to take
more water it will result in the great
rocks of the falls being barred and
the scenic beauty of Americas greatest
wonder destroyed.

subway from Market street Depot.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that the subject of improved
transportation in our great city has at
last taken some definite form, I would
suggest that an underground railway
be laid from the Market street depot
to the Court House, and from there up
Thirteenth avenue to Twelfth street,
which would relieve a very crowded
neighborhood. Also by being on a street
where there are no cars it would give
a better opportunity to make outlets
to purify the air in the tunnel. ]. A.

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plantS-they must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be. one of the
most puzzling things for the beginner
is TO fiEd out whether any particular
vegetable should be thinned or trans
planted and how far apart the plants
should stand afterward
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances, but wheth-
er he should transplant or thin is the
kind of thing that is not in the book

RACING
On Paved Streets Of The
City To Be Stopped
Mayor Mitchell Orders Arrests
To Be Made

For the past several weeks the
principal paved streets of the city
have been used, by certain persons
throughout the city and country, as
race tracks on which they race their
horses. This practice is not only
very injurious to the horses but 1t
is decidedly dangerous to other per-
sons driving on the streets and to pc.
destrains. On Saturday evening Off.
Ger George took into custody two
young men who were racing and or.

ter a severe reprimand and warning
not to repeat the performance. In

SHEEP PROFITABLE
and EASY TO keep
Valuable Farm Animal Too Often
Neglected.

The sheep Is the worst neglected
and the least appreciated animal on
our farms. 1t is Il fact that the sheep
costs less than any of our animals,
not excepting the hog. The one ad-
vantage that the hog has Is that 1t is
scaveuger and consumes much of
the waste on the farm.
Any farm that supports small pas
ture should have few sheep. Even
If the land is rough and apparently
worthless Tor crops. by wise manage
ment 1t may be terraced and sown to
Bermuda or some other hardy grass
for sheep grazing
AS fOrugers sheep are second to
none unless it be their relative, the
goat. Sheep require little other food
than tb0 pasture, except in winter,
when they should be housed and fed
hay and little concentrated food.
Sheep reproduce rapidly, and the
money invested in them is soon re-
turned with interest. There are few
animals that will pay as well when
given the proper attention.
Most every farm needs animals to
afford fresh meat in season during
the year. Mutton Is palatable and
wholesome. and the animal being
small makes sheep desirable for this
purpose. Wool and hides continue to
bring good prices. and there are many
reasons why you should have these
products for sale.-Farm and Ranch.

FRANKS
Of Mansfield High School
Students Lead To Arrests
Boy Struck Over The Head
With A Jug
} mansfield Sbield) 3

AS the result of thoughtless prank
Earl O'Brien, member of the high
school class of 1911 was struck on the
head by a fallign jug at the COM
mencement exercises at the Memorial
last evening and painfully injured.
The accident happened while Mr..
Kallmerten, president OF the board of
education, was delivering his address
prior to the distribution of the diplo.
mas.
While Mr. Kallmerten was speaking
the audience was surprised to see a
large pennant with the figures "12'
on it lowered over the heads of the
class. Had it simply been pennant
the matter might have passed without
much notice but large jug was fast
ened just above the pennant so as to
give it the proper weight. The rope
that was holding the pennant and jug
broke and the jug fell hitting the
young man full on the head. The jug
was cracked to pieces.
The young man staggered and
would have fallen had 1t not been that
he was caught by the boys next to
him and taken from the stage in an
unconscious state. He regained con
sciousness soon, however, and was
taken to the home of his brother al
West Arch street where he was given
medical attention. This morning he
arose and stated that he was feeling
well but about noon complained of be
ing dizzy and faint. His head while
not cut was severely bruised and it is
not known whether the accident will
prove serious or not.
Supt. II. H. Helter appeared at the
city prison Saturday morning and hat
a conference with Chief Feeney. He
stated that he thought 1t was time tC
put stop to such pranks as were
pulled off Friday night. He signed
an affidavit charging two high |schoo
boys with disorderly conduct. They
will be brought into court for trial.

GOVERNOR VETOES
GOOD ROADS BILL
Wants 10 Keep Tax Rate Within
Ten Mill Limit.

Columbus, o., June 12.-Governor
Harmon, by vetoing the Hudson bill
for 114-mill state levy, and that
section of the Mcclure highway de-
partment bill which increased from
l to 1A mills the maximum county
road tax, dealt the good-roads move.
ment body blow Each measure
would have produced In the neighbor-
hood of s3,25O,OO0 a year.
The governor also vetoed the re-
pealing section of the Mcclure bill,
tho effect being to restore the pres
ent 1-mill maximum, for the county's
portion Of carrying on the good roads
movement. The appropriation bills
also carry $440,000 for this year and
as much for next year from the state
general revenue fund for highway
building.
The net effect OF the vetoes is to
check the good roads movement from
faster progress than at present, and
to postpone indefinitely the plan OF
an intercounty system Of highways.
Governor Harmon was stirred to
this action wholly by determine
tion to protect the per cent tax
rate limit, The Mcclure bill except
cd the entire 15s-mill county levy,
while the Hudson state levy, which
would have come within the limit
would have left only 91a mills avail
able eor all other county, municipal
township and school purposes.
The state educational school levy
is .45l OF mill, so that in reality
only about mills would have been
available for local purposes after the
taxpayers had paid on an liz rate.

KIDWELL
At Last Appfehended By
Newark Officers
Newark American Tribune)

tLNGWdlh
Sheriff Slabaugh and Deputy Rine-
hart made night trip last night to
the Hilleary farm in Fallsburg town
ship. Behind the run Is long story
which will be threshed out in common
pleas court. They arrested and brought
in Ray Kidwell, who has been wanted
since last March, according to an afii-
davit in Justice w. f. Holtons court.
The story will be remembered by the
readers of police stories.
1t will be remembered that late in
March last an old man by the name
of John Coon was found badly beaten
up near the Raccoon creek bridge in
Wilson street. He was so badly hurt
that his life was despaired of and he
was taken to the Newark Sanitarium
where he was nursed back to some
thing like his former health and he
was able to file the affidavit against
Kidwell, The latter is charged with
assault and battery with intent to
kill
In the meantime Kidwell had van
lshed from his former haunts. Squire
Holton and his constable kept the
matter in mind and made frequent in
quiries as to his whereabouts, and
some days ago he was located working
on gas rig on the farm in Fallsbury
township, as above stated. A warrant
was sent to Constable b. f. Glover of
Mary Ann township, but when he at
tempted to arrest Kidwell the latter
sat down and told the officer that II
he wanted him he would have to carry
him, Glover was not provided with, n
block and tackle, and after sizing up
the situation just let him sit.
The officers above named, however,
brought him in, getting to the county
Jail apout four o'clock this morning.
Kidwell will be arraigned in the JUS
tice court the early part of the week.
