JERSEY PEAT LANDS
MAY YIELD BIG MONEY
Expert Declares Tracts Rich in
Possibilities for Profit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Before the
American Peat Society, assembled for
it's sixth annual convention in the
Hotel Chelsea, DR.. Joseph Hyde
Pratt, State geologist of North Caro-
lima. declared that the Jersey mead
ows could, If developed as the State
of North Carolina has developed its
peat lands, be made to yield rich re-
turns in crops, to say nothing of fer
tilizing material, food for cattle, and
an immense supply OF fuel.
These meadows, Mr.. Pratt said,
were below the level of the sea. and
therefore could not be drained, as was
the ease with some peat hogs, in or
binary manner, but must first be
diked like the reclaimed land of Hol-
land.
The peat society was organized by
a group of scientists intent upon re-
claiming waste land and finding a
needed substitute for coal and expen-
sive fertilizer, at the jamestown Ex-
position in 1907. Among its members
are scientists from all parts of this
country and Canada. DR.. Joseph A.
Holmes, director of the Bureau of
Mines, of Washington, is its presi-
dent, and he will deliver an address
on the various uses to which peat
may be put tomorrow in Earl Hall, of
Columbia University, where sessions
will be held both morning and after

CANAL STIMULUS
TO SH|PBU|LD|NG
100 Steel Vessels Being Con.
structed in U. S. Shipyards.
Gross Tonnage 254,00o.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-The ship
yards of the United States during the
current fiscal year will be busy. ac-
cording to returns filed with the
bureau of navigation.
On July l 12o steel vessels, aggre-
eating 254, 900 gross tons, We're under
construction. against barely 100, 900
gross tons at the same time a year
ago. The influence of. the approach
ing opening of the Panama canal is
manifest, and upwards of 800. 900 tons
are building for use through the
canal.
Since Congress in the Panama canal
act assured free tolls to American
coastwise ships and duty-free ma
terials and equipment for ships in the
coastwise trade, a further stimulus
to ~shipbuilding has been given, the
effect of which is expected to de-
velop as the provisions Of the law be-
come more generally known.
Preparations for the use of oil, in
stead of coal, are found in mos
shipbuilding returns. Fifteen tank
steamers, ranging from 1900 tons to
$500 tons, will use oil for fuel.
Tonnage building on the Great
Lakes shows a falling off of about
10, 900 tons compared with a year ago,
and part of the current years lake
construction is designed for salt
water use.

CAR WORRIED OVER LOAN
GERMANS MADE TO CHINA

LONDON. Sept. 6.-Apprehension is
felt by the Russian government In
connection with the granting of a
number of concessions to German In
dustrial concerns by China,
ing to a news agency dispatch from
st. Petersburg. The latest of these
concessions is for the construction OF
street railways In Picking and other
Chinese cities.
The Russian government fears thai
the Germans have obtained h con-
cessions in return for loans made TO
China without restrictions as to the
use to which the money is put.
1t is believed in st. Petersburg that
China will utilize h money for the
purchase Of arms and ammunition,
and the Russian government contem-
plates sending a note to the inter-
ested powers in order to endeavor to
put a stop to the making of private
loans to China without the consent
of the powers.

MRS. Vanderbilt
TO MARRY AGAIN?
Newport Society Expects An
nouncement of Her En-
gagement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Has Mrs.
Elsie French Vanderbilt finally de-
termined upon Alfred G.'s successor?
Newport society has made another
try at its favorite game of discov-
ering her intended husband before
she knows herself, or before she says
she knows, and now feels confident
that the engagement will soon be
announced. Society has only felt so
about a dozen times during the last
year, but no matter. This time it
is no wild rumor; the coming en-
gagement is an absolute certainty
perhaps.
According to the rumors a good
looking man of about 80 has been
paying frequent weekend visits this
summer 10. Harborview, Mrs. Wander
bits home at Newport. AS his fair
hostess has appeared to be as much
interested in him as he in the ram
lady, the lookers-on naturally became
interested in discovering who he was
1t appears thai he is Richard de y
Boardman, son of Mrs. Edwin Board
man, of Beverly Farms, who is q
member of the ar~istocratic family Of
de Blois, and a nephew of 7. D
| Boardman, of the Somerset Club. He
was graduated from Harvard IN lsoo
and belongs to the Tennis, Racquet
and Eastern Yacht clubs.
The two are inseparable compan-
ions. They are frequent visitors a.
Bailey's Beach and are seen together
| almost every day when the weather
is agreeable either driving or walk
ing.
Not so long ago Mrs. Vanderbilt
name was connected with that OF
| Count Berehem, a dashing young Ger
man diplomat and %courtier, who wal
assiduous in his attentions. That sh'
considered the attentions of the coun
as a serious matter was shown b,
| her desire to be near him in Berlin
which ended in her taking a house
in the fashionable Inter den Lindef

For some un~explainable reason
there came an estrangement between
the two just at the period when SO
ciety expected an announcement o
their engagement.
Returning to this country, Mrs
Vanderbilt was seen In the compan.

MAN AND WOMAN ENTER
COMPACT TO KILL SPOUSES
Demented Prisoner Causes Al
legged Murderer to Confess.

SHREVEPORT. La, Sept. g.
Signed confessions were given to
Sheriff Tourney by A. L. Watson, u
logging contractor, of jefferson, Tex.
and Mrs. C. C. Bailey, formerly of
Flanagan, Tex. who were arrested,
suspected of numbering the woman's
husband.
Bailey's head was crushed with an
axe Monday night while he was asleep
at a sawmill at Metcalf, La. The
prisoners related a story of a COM
pact that resulted not only in Bailey's
death, but also In the murder of Mrs.
Watson. sa&iE
According to the compact Watson
was to Kill his wife, which he did by
poisoning her last June. Mrs. Bailey
was to kill her husband, and she
tried to do so by poisoning his coffee.
Bailey was made i'll but recovered.
Watson then decided to do the kill
ing himself, and arranged for Mrs.
Bailey to leave home for a visit to
hcr father, Alexander Wells, a farm
er, residing in Cass county, Texas.
Mrs. Bailey was not put in jail un-
til the day after Watson was ar
rested, but a demented woman on
the upper floor during the night made
him think that his accomplice had
told the story and his nerve gave
way and the confession followed.
Watson and the woman were al
lowed to yer and the man told
her. that he loved her and that he
was willing to die that she might be
saved. Watson is about 40 years ole
and Mrs. Bailey is an attractive
woman about rs. She has two little
children.

LIFEGUARDS' HARD WORK
SAVES PHILADELPHIA MAN

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 6.-Gallant
work of life guards saved Horace
Burton, of Philadelphia. from drown
ing off South Carolina avenue. Bur
ton was unconscious before they
reached him, and it was only by hard
work that DIR. j. T. Beckwith was
able to r~esuscitate him.
The Philadelphia was caught by
the tumbling breakers and knocked
over. Guards Browns and Fenton
leaped to the lifeboat. 1t seemed i'm
possible to launch the craft. At
times they were cast so high that it
seemed that the boat could not live,
but each time they used their skill at
the right moment and ultimately
worked beyond the breaker line.
Fenton and Brown reached Burton in
time for the former to dive over and
drag the unconscious man to the sur
face and then get him aboard
Browns craft.

PLAN CONCRETE FLUME
FOR JERSEY CITY WATER

DOVER, Sept. 6.-It will probably
be necessary for the municipal water
commissioners of Jersey City to en-
close the entire Rockaway river in
a concrete fume as it passes through
this city. Tho river and its head
waters are one of the chief sources
of the Jersey City water supply.
Experts nave recently shown that
contamination is almost inevitable at
this point, as the natural flow of sur
a water is toward the river and
there are many dangerous cesspools
and vaults within easy distance of its
banks.
If the proposal to put the river into
a concrete tube Is adopted the upper
surface will be made into a roadway

FIND MEASLES CARRIERS
BY NEGOTIATING MONKEY

WASHINGTON. Sept. Cdr. John
r. Anderson and Dr.. Joseph Gold
berg, of the public health service,
announced they have succeeded
in inoculating monkeys with measles,
something said to be hitherto un-
known. and have made discoveries
which promise to make the malady
less prevalent.
The investigators found that
measles are not carried. as has been
supposed, by the dry particles of skin
which brush off the body of a pa
tient, but hat the germs are con-
veyed in the breath and ~secretions
from the nose and mouth. The germ
was found to be so minute that it
passed through the pores of a porce-
lain filter.
The inability of scientists to inocu-
late lower animals with measles has
retarded the work of discovering an
antitoxin.
The investigators will make known
the results of their work In the if
teenth congress of hygiene and de-
biography in this city on September
% next.

RAILWAYS POLICE
IN DISGRACE AGAIN
Accused of "RaiIroading" Man
to Insane Asylum
Illegally.
Especial to the Newark start

ELIZABETH, Sept. 6.-Another
grave charge stands against the
Railway police department today. II
is accused of "~railroading" a prisoner
to the Morris Plains Insane Asylum.
This follows the six charges made
by Mayor Thomas Fyffe, of that
place, against Chief of Police David
II. Ramsey, who has just been ex-
onerated of alleged brutality and re-
instated by the Common Council by
a strict party vote.
The new accusation against the
Railway police was made last night
by Freebooter William H. Randolph,
of that city, at a meeting of the
board.
He de&ared that John Brennan, OF
IS Irving street, had been illegally
sent to the insane asylum.
. Brennan's mind had become tempo
rarily unbalanced from drink, Mr.
Randolph asserted, but had recovered
and was in a normal condition soon
after he vas sent TO the asylum. The
freeholder introduced a resolution
asking for an Investigation by a
| lunacy commission. He said he did SC
because he believed Brennan should
have been held by the police a few
| days before he was '~'railroaded te
the asylum"
Mr.. Randolph said he had visitet
, Brennan and that he acted normally
and that n of the guards at th'
asylum had said that he should hi
released. The freeholder said Brsn
nan had been committed without {
hearing in court.
County Attorney Codington replied
that the customary examination wal
made before Judge Atwater. who in
spected reports signed by two ply
~sicians. The case was referred t,
the county attorney.
