Little Charley Taller is only 8, but
like all true New Workers. he believes
the world begins at the Battery and
runs up to Harlem. He has heard
the songs of "Old Broadway" and
New York Town and they have ex-
pressed his sentiments regarding the
dear old island
Charley's child mind pictured the
street in the East Side where be used
to play as he sat in the garden Of
the Mountain Home, West Orange,
yesterday. Charley had left New
York behind when he was pale and
delicate and had gone 10 live at the
home to regain his health and
strength.
The call of the city was too much
for him and he answered it. Bidding
the home good-by he STROBE away in
the direction of the lights he had seen
on clear nights from the mountain.

MOUNTA|NEERS MAY
GET LONG PRISON TERM
continued from First paee.o

They viii probably be held here until
June 8, when they will be sentenced
by Judge Rellstab.
William J. Kinsley. of Nutley, one
of the most prominent chirography
experts of the day, offered testimony
which practically sealed the fate of
Jake Dunn
He submitted photographed copies
of the anonymous letters received by
President Wilson and the Ledgewood
residents and of the standard letter
written by Jake Dunn for Inspector
Butler in the Dover jail.
Asked how he thought the black
hand letters compared with the
duplicate Dunn made, he replied;
"In my opinion the same hand
wrote the anonymous letters that
wrote the standard letter for the post
office inspector. ] based my opinion
on a scientific comparison of the let
ters. The disguise is very thin and
can be easily penetrated"
Marshal Beehman was put on the
stand late in the trial and told how
Davenport had asked him: How
much win we get for this?' Butler
was recalled and corroborated Beck
mans statement.
Inspector Clinton A. Larrabee tes-
tilted that Dunn made the duplicate
copy in his presence and otherwise
corroborated the testimony offered by
Inspector Butler.
The prosecution then rested its
case and seeley Davenport, of Ford
Mine one of the defendants. was
called to the stand by Attorney
Tyacke to testify in his own behalf.
Davenport Denies Guilt.
His testimony consisted mostly Of
a general denial of the four counts
in the indictment found against him.
His attorney showed him the letters
one by one and each time he said
that he did mot write it and had
never seen ii before
Questioned as to why he asked
Marshal Beekman 'how much he
would get for it, referring to the
writing of the letters, he said he
thought he had been arrested for
irving to get a pension for his
brother, who was injured in the
Spanish War.
Jake Dunn, the other defendant
testified practically the same as
Davenport. He denied ever seeing the
letters before, as they were showed
TO him.
Neither he nor Davenport ex-
planned what they We're doing in the
vicinity of the old railroad crossings
on the nights when the money was
to be left nearby.
Dunn denied that he had ever con-
fessed to Inspector Butler of writing
the letters, but said he might have
said. sure, ] did" which he ex-
planned is an expression in his eoun-
try almost as common as Hello" is
down here.
Patrick S. Delaney, of Sparta, said
he knew that the railroad crossing
where Dunn and Davenport were
seen changing around" was place
where people came to meet each
other and that there was generally
quite a crowd down there.
edo You know of any legitimate
business that zone could have
down there afte. o'clock?" asked
Attorney Bacon.
mo, I don't know of any legitimate
business Ahe said, emphasizing the
word legitimate. Attorney Tyacke
then explained that younger people
made dates to meet each other there
Neither Attorney Tyacke or Coun-
sellor Bacon used much time in sum-
ming UP the case. Both gave a short
review of the testimony and empha =

SAYS farmers
MUST COOPERATE
AT PRESENT THE FARMER LETS
some ONE ELSE FIX BOTH HIS
BUYING AND SELLING PRICE
BEGINNING OF COOPERATION
MUST BE SMALL.

1.-THE person who let's the other fell
low set both the selling and buying
price is not getting his fair share
says w. c.. Palmer of the A. c. "The
farmer is in just about that kind of g
fix. How can it be remedied? Labor
was in just that fix until they organic
ed. When organized in unions they
could bargain as to the thing they had
to sell-their labor. The farmers will
have to cooperate If they want to
have something to say In fixing prices.
The fruit growers of the west have
become prosperous through the fact
that they are organized. They no
longer put their whole fruit crop on
the market the day 1t ripens and SO
glut the market. They hold their fruit
until the market needs it. In this way
they get a good price all the time
They do their own selling so no one
can manipulate the market.
Some seem to. think. that a big
organization Is necessary. 1t is ad-
vantageous but the beginning must
needs be small. Three or four farmers
can very we'll start cooperating. They
can grow the same kind, of hogs and
market together. If in dairying, they
can sell their e together. They
can buy their groceries together from
the grocer. It will be worth the while
of the grocer, the hardware dealer,
the machine agent, the banker to make
some concession when dealing with
several persons at once, whether it be
buying or selling. Three or four work
ing together can do better than each
one alone. 1t will be cheaper for the
business men in town to deal with
several at once than with n at a
time. In working together in market
ing a great deal will be learned as to
the needs of the market.
"The fruit growers of the west,
when they began to cooperate in
marketing, soon learned the demand
of the market and sent out only the
fruit that was up to standard. In
some cases where orchards had been
planted to inferior varieties the grow
ers We're compelled to destroy them
and put in varieties that were up to
the standard. In this way a reputa-
ton was made for the locality. The
same can be done with potatoes, hogs,
cream, or any other product as well
as with fruit.
"a start must be made. The way
to make the start is to begin working
with n or two neighbors. More will
join when they see you do something.
When several small beginnings have
been made a large organization will be
possible. The small beginnings must
come frst-and don't wait for the
other fellow to start. DO that your

Meeting Second Day

ed Address This acknowledges Interested in

The second day of the North Da-

with a larger attendance than yester-

interest was shown in everything that

AS on the first day the demonstra-
tons of good road building occupied
the morning hours and members of
the Fargo Automobile club very gem
erously took the visitors out to the
scenes of the demonstrations, Fiji
teenth avenue and to the street just
south Of the Interstate Fair associa-
ton. The visitors were well repaid
for their work and trouble in coming
here, for the road making devices and
machinery that were shown were well
worth seeing. Two tractors hauled the
road making machinery as we'll as the
great drag, and in an incredibly short
time a bad road was put in first-class
shape. This work was watched Gag
erly for an hour or two and each
and every man present expressed his
pleasure in what he had seen.
Governor Hanna. who is the presi-
dent of the association, was present
at some of the demonstrations, for he
takes a great deal of interest in the
the city and state and was very much
pleased with what he witnessed.
The meeting this afternoon, which
took place at the commercial club
rooms, was well attended and was
presided ove by the governor, who
made an excellent address yesterday
which was listened to with great at
tention.
The big speech Of the afternoon was
