counsel for Mrs. Grace today told
the jury that Grace received a bull
let wound during a scuffie with his
wife, after a quarrel over the sale
of the woman's property.
The attorney declared that Grace
tried to shoot his wife after chok-
ing her, and during the scuffie which
followed the weapon was discharged.
The attorney declared Grace made
his wife leave home because he did
not think he was badly hurt, and he
feared he would be disgraced If 1t
became known that he was shot in
a row with his wife.

shot during the night or early in

clared Attorney Branch. W. will

MANS LIFE SAVED
BY S[EEPLESS SON
Louis Levin Found Overcome
by Gas-Police Charge
Suicide Attempt.

With nv apparent motive, Louis
Levin. a rnilliner, attempted suicide
at his home. 17S Springfield avenue.
according to the police. early today
by inhaiing Illuminating gas. and
would probably have succeeded in
his attempt but for the sleeplessness
OF his son., William. The latter found
his father lying unconscious on the
floor Of the bathroom and had him
rushed to the City Hospital. He was
somewhat improved at noon, and it
was said that he would ecover.
Though the police insist that it
was an attempt at suicide, both sons
of Levin insist that it was acciden-
tai. Patrolmen Flynn and Brady, of
the Fourth precinct, who investi-
gated the case. though unable to find
any cause for Levin's act, in their
report call it IAN attempted sui
eide"
Son SmeIIed Gas.
Levin conducts a millinery store
at the Springfield avenue address,
and resides with his family on the
second and third floors. He closed
his place at 9 o'clock. the usual time,
last night. and Joined his two sons,
Harry and William, and three friends
in a card game in his apartments.
This game continued until about
1890, when the sons retired, after
the friends had left. Levin was left
alone on the second floor. He told
William thai he would retire ins a
few minutes.
William was sleepless and about
an hour later he awoke. He was at
tracted by the odor of gas and
traced it to the bathroom, where he
found his father stretched on the
floor and gas pouring from the one
jet in the room. Both the window
and door were closed. He dragged
him to a window and then sum-
moned the Fourth precinct ambu-
lance. which removed Levin to the
hospital. 1t was at first thought that
he would not recover.
Says Gas Jet Was Loose.
Explaining his reason for believ-
ing that his father was overcome ac-
cidentally, William declared today
that the jet in the bathroom has
been loose for some time. He said
that his father probably hit agains.

ing it.
Mrs. Levin. who with her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Samuel Greenberg. is
spending a vacation at Bradley
Beach, does not know of her hus-
bands plight. Her sons thought it
would be better not to notify her. in
asmuch as Levin will ecover.

SUBSTITUTE FoR RUBBER

The story from Philadelphia that a
man OF that city has discovered a sub

DC accepted with a grain of salt until
the facts he claims are fully estab-

chemists that a substance which would
take the place OF rubber in many OF
the forms In which II is used would
ultimately be discovered. but. like the
famous passage to Cathay in the time
OF columbus. the result has eluded
pursuit. 1t may be put down as a fact
that some time. somewhere, such a
substitute will be found. says the

METHOD OF SAVING MOISTURE
Much Can Be Cleaned From Farmers
Who Raise Profitable Crops
With Small Rainfall.

There is much that can be learned
rom the methods Of the dry land
farmers who raise profitable grain
crops In regions with less than IL
inches OF rainfall II the practices
which they follow to conserve the
moisture for crops were followed
more closely by farmers everywhere
bigger and better crops could be
grown.
The land Is plowed deep to get q
good bed Of mellow soil which Will
mold the moisture. 1t Is then packed
TO make 1t firm, which holds the
moisture, and the surface is narrowed
within a few hours to let the air into
the top soil and form surface mulch
OF dry soil which prevents the mois-
lure from below going up into the air.
Inc thoroughness with which these
operations are done determine large

farms east OF the semi-airid region
the roller may take the place Of the
suo-surface packer If it Is used with
discretion.
Inc roller Is particularly valuable

Other farmers would find even great
er profit in using the harrow or cult

crops after each rain all through the
season.
