OF FUNDS handled by the school treas
nfer. The amount handled by Mr..
Nusoaum this year was s250,ooo. so
that the bond would reach the half
million dollar mark.
county Superintendent Williams

Jurors in Rosenthal Case Say
the Evidence Too Weak
for Action.

NEW YORK. Aug. Is Because
members of the grand jury investtEat
ing the murder of Herman Rosenthal
believed the evidence presented to
them by District Attorney Whitman
was too weak upon which to base true
bills they decided this afternoon that
no indictments should be returned at

a sensation because it had been gen.
orally understood that a blanket in

All varieties OF the vine may be

species layering is usually resorted to
only with varieties which do not root

II Is well, the summer before, to

canes all the well-developed buds are
left. The ground is made mellow. a
trench about inches deep is drawn
from the vine with the hoe, and the
cane is bent down and fastened in It..
Each bud on the cane will usually
produce a shoot, which by this proc
