MAN CLUBBED BY
: PARK POLICEMAN
CLAIMS NO CAUSE
Officer Says Laborer Resist
ed Arrest and He Was
Forced to Use Baton.

George Howard. laborer, fifty years
old, of $50 Four -and-a-half street SOUTH
west, was treated at the Emergency
Hospital this afternoon for three scalp
wounds inflicted with a baton In the
hands of Park Policeman Lucien Da-
Wis. After having his injuries dressed
Howard was locked up at No. police
station on a charge Of assault and dis
orderly conduct.
According to Howard's story, the
treatment given him by the park po-
nceman was without provocation. Da-
Wis, however, claims that Howard re-
sisted him and that he struck him with
the club to subdue him.
1t seems that Howard was enjoying
a quiet little nap on the grass near
Four-and-a-half street and Missouri
avenue, when Policeman Davis came
along and shook him. The officer or
dered him to move on
Howard said he protested against
such treatment, as the policeman had
failed to disturb some others, who, he
claims, we're sleeping on the grass at
the same time.
An alteration followed, and Davis
says he struck the man over the head
several times to quiet him.

MURDERER
MAKES GOOD ESCAPE
FROM THE T0MBS
Desperate Character Obtains
Ladder and Gets Half
Hour Start.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Seizing the op-
portunity when his guards fell asleep,
Reynolds Frosbrey, an alleged murderer,
called by the police one OF the most dar-
Ing burglars and gunmen in New York
city. made his escape in a daring man
ner from the Tombs early today. Fros-
brey had half, an hours start on his
pursuers when his escape was detected
and a general alarm turned in.
A "trusty" and a night keeper were
guarding Frosbrey in an isolated cell,
where he had been confined since he was
frustrated In an attempt to escape last
week. Frosbrey climbed through a vent
ilator in his cell and made his way to
the carpenter shop nearby, where he got
a stepladder and an iron bar.
With his lever, he twisted several bars
out of place on a window and got into
the jail yard. With his ladder, 1t was
easy to scale the eight-foot wall sur
rounding the Jail court.
His flight was discovered by Chief
Keeper Sam Kohler, who, while making
his hourly rounds. saw the ladder and
instantly guessed the truth.
Frosbrey was arrested In connection
with the murder OF M. Meseritz. a
Brooklyn haberdasher, who was shot to
death In his shop nearly a year ago. The
accused man Is only twenty-seven years
old, but has long police record

WASTEFUL METHOD
IN MARKET|NGE EGGS
FOUND BY EXPERTS
Farmers Can Increase Profits
by Forty-fve Millions,
Is Report.

Fertilized eggs, broken and dirty eggs
and eggs which arc held back from
the market In Anticipation OF tetter
prices Iause II loss jf ii5,;eI.e0J II year
to the American farmer, according TO
the csrimatc of the Department. ~ Ar
ricuiture. -'
Fertile eggs rot much more rapidly
than infcrtlle. Tie poultry experts Of
the department therefore suggest that
rDosters be removed from the chicken
yards after June 1. The loss of eggs
through carly decomposition results In
about one-third of tbs estimated loss.
Farmers and egg dealers have habit
also of holding back eggs from the
market in the fall. The price inva ria
bly, rises rapidly and eggs are held
back to permit the producers to reap
greater profits Egg shells are porous
and evaporation results in lowering the
quality OF the egg.
Commends Gambling.
1t Is doubtful that the producer actu-
ally makes much mora by holding the
eggs than H. while still perfectly
fresh, they were placed on the market
In the latter case they would command
the top price OF a moderate market,
"hhc thcy oio
not placed among the first-class eggs in
a high market.
The Gambling Of all eggs is recon-
mended by the department. This
process permits an nexperieced egg
handler to tell with accuracy the condi-
ton of an egg.
The Department Of Agriculture also
condemns the 'case-count" method of
purchasing eggs. Under this system the
farmer is paid for all the eggs in the
case, without reference to the bad
ones which may be among the number
The department prefers the loss or"
system. This takes account of all bad
eggs, which are charged against the
farmer and for which he receives moth
ing.
The farmer loses nothing by the lat
ter method. The purchaser, forced to
take some chances on ease count"
whereas under the Toss or system he
knows that all the eggs purchased are
good and can affort to pay better
price for them
Economy Is Urged.
Drying, faldng and freezing. which
are among the methods Of harmless and
yet effective means Of preservation, are
recommended.
A list of high and low prices of eggs
during the last twelve years shows that
eggs, have increased tremendously in
price in that time. In 1900 the low price
was IL cents and the high price q cents;
last year the low price was II cents
cents and the top price IS cents.
