THREE OLD MEN ARRESTED
Other Arrests to Follow Soon
Town Stirred by Tales
Told by Youths and
and Maids.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune ]


New London, Conn, Dec. 2S.-A sec
ond suicide and three more arrests were
incidents to-day of the situation that
has developed as a result Of charges
involving moral turpitude made or
threatened against a number Of elderly
citizens of the town Of Mystic. based on
the stories told by a number Of girls
and boys Of the village.
The second man to commit suicide
was Edwin r. Williams, Of West Mys-
tic, who was found hanging In his din
ing room doorway when his family
arose this morning. He was seventy
eight years old, retired carpenter, and
had been prominent In Grand Army
circles.
He had fastened a rope to the top OF
the door. slipped n moose around his
neck, drawing II taut as he climbed
on TO box. and then kicked the box
away with his feet. Although other
causes for his suicide have been given.
Prosecutor Hewitt said he had war
rant for his arrest The first suicide
was that Of John Haulisch, who dived
from a window Of his barn Friday
evening and broke his neck when Off
cers called to serve a warrant upon
him. Both men, il is firmly believed,
took their lives rather than face court
proceedings.
The three men arrested to-day are
Nathan Newbury. commander of the
Grand Army post and harbormaster
for Mystic; Stephen Duke. a millhand,
and Alfred a. Baker, employed by a
fertilizer company.
Newbury, who Is about sixty-seven
years old, was formerly a resident of
Groton, where he was trial justice for
most Of the court cases before the
town court was established. The
charges against him followed the
stories told by Leah Barraclough,
twelve years Old and Addie Rathbun.
also twelve. lie frst pleaded not
guilty. but later entered a demurrer.
which was overruled. and he was held
for the higher court in $1,000 bonds.
Duke, who IS forty-five years old,
was held on similar charges, made by
Leah Barraclough and Lizzie Hall.
There are four charges against Baker
The names Of 4 number OF girls and
boys from whom information has been
obtained against him have been kept
secret by the authorities.
Postmaster G. c. Potter gave bonds
Of $4,000 for Bakers appearance before
the Superior Court Dukes bail was
fixed at $1,000 the same as in tho
Newbury case. They we're all ar
arraigned In the Stonington town court
this morning
The community has been thrown into
a Juror by the revelations made. II
has been found that girls of from
twelve to fourteen years were in the
habit of soliciting small sums OF money
daily from merchants in Mystic.
Five of the men already arrested arc
over sixty years old, and most Of them
held respectable names in the commu-
nifty. Prosecutor Wright of Stoningtor
said to-day that ten or fifteen more
arrests would be made as result OF
information now in the hands of the
authorities.

GOOD SOIL FOR AN ORCHARD
Must Be Prepared Sufficiently Deep
and Drained So That Roots May
Reach Into Subsoll.

First Of all, the soil must be well
drained and prepared sufficiently
deep 80 that the roots may reach deep
into the subsoil. Second. the sur
face soil must be cultivated frequent
ly and a rotation of cover crops and
catch crops employed so that a suf-
f1cient amount of plant food will be
made available to promote a rapid,
healthy growth rather than forcing
the growth of the trees by the use OF
manures and fertilizers rich in nitro.
gen. In some rare instances the soil
may be deficient in plant food, and
the intelligent use of mineral plant
foods will prove very beneficial.
1t is when the orchards begin to
produce large crops of fruit that the
demands for plant food must be met
If profitable crops of superior fruit
are secured. At this time the roots
of the trees have taken possession of
practically all Of the SOIL and have
utilized the larger portion of the
available plant food so that the ad.

The function of the soil in furnish.

Captain Lewis in recalling some of his

Of icebergs.
He remembered that his friend, also
tourist, said:
"One night while returning from
Europe l came out on deck 1t was
SO foggy that nothing could be seen
The captain of the ship was walking
the deck and I approached him and
said:
"'How fast are we going?'
"The master replied, twenty-five
miles an hour
"Is not that a violation of the law?
I asked. The captain admitted that It
was.
Then I asked. Why do you run so
fast through a fog?'

EFFECT OF WATER ON PLANTS
Kentucky Wonder Beans Thrive Sur
prisingiy While Small Bed Of
Cannas Were Failure.

Last summer l undertook to keel
alive small bed of cannas, made by
laying down the tire from the
front wheel of wagon, says
writer In the Florist. In another por
ton OF the garden eight hills Of Ken
lucky wonder beans were planted late
in the summer in a circle about four
feet in diameter. Eight superannu
ated sunfower stalks nine to ten feet
tall were tied together by their tops
to act as supports. An old can filled
with fine, well-rotted manure and wa.
tered every other day was sunk m the
center of the circle. The beans ran to
the top of their supports and until
frost came yielded a very liberal sup
ply for small family. -.-,gs'.asr'.1, :,
In the case of the cannas several
barrels of water and countless adjeo.
tives were used. In the case of rha
beans pailful every other day. On
this plan l have no patent and none
applied for, nor expectations Of re-
ward of any kind. Without cost, II
will save labor, plants and adjectiveA
Some critic might suggest that the
beans were planted rather close to
gether. So they were, but the garden
soil was rich and strong. Besides this
they were of the "close communion
type In Baptist garden. 1t was wa,
ter that saved them.

O'DONNEL FLAYS SHAFRoTH

Grand Junction, Aug. 29.-That s
harmonee-ee-e-e-e
There was great gobs of it in the
vicinity of Fifth and Main street last
evening when Tom O'Donnell, candi-
date tor the democratic nomination for
the United States Qong term) senate
addressed an open air meeting. The
band played early in the evening and Il
fair sized crowd was gathered.
Mr.. O'Donnell made things warm for
Honest John Shafroth and Alva Ad-
ans. Their past records from \ to z
We're given by one who knew what
he was talking about. Office holders
''from cradle to grave" was hurled at
the two aspirants for O'Donnell' s am
bition and when it came right down
to the point O'Donnell was able to
prove it,
"Shafroth came here in 1879, from
Missouri said Mr. O'Donnell. "I
came here that same year, lie got a
political job at $4,000 per year as soon
as he landed and he has been in some
office or other ever since. l have
worked for thirty years for the sue
cess of the democratic party and never
asked for single office before. Now,
when ! can rightfully ask for some
reward, | have to buck two lifelong
office holders.
ga friend of mine recently figured
up the record of the Adams family in
Colorado politics. The Adams family
combined has seved 81 years in office
in the state.'' Alva now wants an
other six years.
In addition to bitterly attacking his
opponents and kicking over the har-
mony pot which has been tumbling for
some weeks, O'Donnell declared that
he was responsible for the direct pri-
mary law. The facts of the matter are
that the democratic party is ripped
from stem to stern with dissension.
Factionalism never held such complete
sway as now The O'Donnel crowd
rightfully demand that such perpetual
office holders as Shafroth step down
and turn their support to men who
have built up the democratic party but
the Shafroth people do not feel so in
clined.
Gov. Honest John will have some tall
explaining to do here tonight and it is
probable that more harmony will be
found

Young trees planted in an old or.

Thiss is largely for the reason that
young trees need different care from
old ones, and also because the young
