Department TO VACATE

Agricultural Divisions Are Being

Preparations are being made by the
Department of Agriculture to vacate

formerly the Office Of seed distribution. on

these, especially in connection with paper
making and cotton grading, was with

ment started in the material connected
with this work, and it was thought much
safer to have this division housed in a.
hreproof structure. This move reduces the
number of rented buildings occupied by
the department to nine.
The department is growing so fast that
the officials say they almost despair of
the building appropriations ever catching
up with the demand for space, but by the
elimination of the fifteen old buildings.
many of which were actually unsafe and
insanitary, the department is getting
nearer to it's wish to have all its units
under a single roof.

Referring to our conversation at the

approval of my suggestion regarding the
creation Of public golf links, will you be

DORR FOUND GUILTY OF
MARSH MURDER AT LYNN
Condemned Man Hears Verdict With
Little Emotion-Speaks
to Jury.

SALEM, Mass, February 2S-William
A. Dorr Of Stockton, Cal, was found
guilty yesterday of the murder of George
E. Marsh Of Lynn.
A dramatic touch was added as the
trial came to an end by the prisoner who,
when the court was about to charge the
jury, rose from his seat in his steel cage,
pale and trembling, and in a voice quiv-
ering with emotion, cried out:
Il have just few words / would like
to say to reassert what I have said on
the stand. Although 1 am 1900 miles
away from home, I feel that this jury
will do what is right
The body Of Marsh, who was seventy
seven years OF age, was found on the
marshes near the boulevard in Lynn,
April IL, 1912. He had been shot four
times. So far as known. he did not have
an enemy and suspicion first fell on Dorr
when he returned to his home in Stock
ton. Cal, after a hurried visit in the
east.
1t was found that he had masqueraded
in Lynn as Willis A. Dow and so made
the acquaintance of Marsh. The latter
was not seen alive after he got into an
automobile for ride with Dorr the
afternoon of April II last. Later, in a
diary owned by Dorr, the police found a
rambling account OF how the writer had
hired negro to do the job"

Closing Argument for Defense.

In his closing argument Attorney &
Neal Barney, for the defense. asked the
jury to disregard the record i'm the diary
as the self-accusation of a man who was
beside himself with remorse and sorrow
He asserted that Dorr. as he had testi-
fed, killed Marsh during a quarrel
brought about by an uncon plimentary re-
mark concerning Miss Orpha Marsh
DORIS aunt by the elder man.
In summing UP, district Attorney Att
will said that the death Of Marsh was a
cruel murder. deliberately planned by
Dorr, who believed that with Marsh dea j
he would profit by legacy which would
revert to his aunt.
Dorr heard the verdict of murder in tn g
first degree with little display of emo
ton. His face paled slightly. the mus
cies of his jaws frightened and his hands
gripped the bar in front of the pris-
oner's cage. Then he sat down and after
that appeared unconcerned.

ber Of Commerce to provide facilities for

In letter to ID. J. Callahan, president
OF the Chamber of Commerce. President
Taft favors freer use eff the public
parks by all the people. He thinks they
should be available for tennis, base ball.

not think their use should be limited TO
those who use their own carriages and
automobiles on the fine driveways.

President Taft's Letter.

His letter reads:
Agreeable to my promise at the citi-
zens' dinner, ! am very glad to send you
a few words in approval Of your sugges-
tion for the establishment Of public golf
links in Washington. You know my
tendency to golf. my sympathy with any
body who wants to play it, and my de-
sire to spread a love for the game where
ever 1 can. Golf is a splendid recreation
which can be enjoyed with profit by the
young and the old 1t is in the interest
of good health and good manners. II
promotes self-restraint. and, as one of its
devotees has well said, affords a chance
to play the man and act the gentleman.
1t is the game Of all classes, not a mere
plaything for faddists, nor, as many sup
pose a game for the rich man only.
II favor freer Use Of public parks by
the people than we have had in the past
They should be available for tennis, base
ball, skating. golf and like games. under
reasonable restrictions. Golf is the least
injurious of outdoor games to the land
scape features OF our public parks. |
think all our parks should be opened for
golf unless there is some specific objec-
ton in public needs. The parks of Wash
ington are bought and maintained with
public funds and are exempt from taxa
ton. The use TO which they are put
should not be confined to driveways,
which are a boon to those who own car
riages and motors. but should include
health h-giving games for the enjoyment
of those who cannot afford to develop
country clubs"

AGGRESSIVE JAPANESE
AGAIN IN EVIDENCE.

The chronic anxiety among people
of the Pacific coast caused by the ag-
grcssiYcness of Japan, it is re-
ported, is about to be shared by
people of the Atlantic seaboard, as
it alleged that nation is endeavoring
to obtain foothold in the Caribbean
Sea, and in close proximity to the
entrance to the Panama Canal.
An alleged plot Of the japanese to
secure a naval co&sing station in the
Caribbean Sea, within so miles OF the
Atlantic end OF the Panama Canal,
and in violation Of the Monroe Doc
trine, was made known in New York
yesterday, A;hen the United Fruit
Company's steamship SiXaola locked.
George T. Burns, an agent OF the
CaribbeanGuano Company, who was
passenger, said that the japanese gov
crnment was negotiating for the pur-
chase of Roncador Island.
THE island" said Mr.. Burns, lis
now the property of the Caribbean
Guano Company 1t has a superb
harbor, and would make good coal
ing base for any navy. Ostensloly
the Japanese are negotiating through
steamship company, of which man
named Arai is the head, for harbor
for a steamship line which shall conf
municate with the ports on the East
ern coast of the United States and
South America.
when the company sent its sur
vcyors to the island, however, it look
ed TO me as though the surveyors were
much more interested in the military
preparedness of the island for de-
Tense than they were in the natural
resources or the shipping facllltlcs
it afforded. The place is very rlch
in the fertilizer which is only found
in tropical islands and is known as
guano. The guano on Roncador
can be mined for SO years more at
least But the Japanese took no
interest in the guanc and devoted
their attention TO surveying the IS
land for possible defenses.
The harbor is perfectly fitted 10
make a coaling station. Coal, you
know, will not disintegrate under
water, and in the harbor Of Roncad-
or there would be no difficulty what
ever in storing 100000 tons of coal
in perfectly protected and easily &C
cessible spots. The water is suf'
Efficiently deep and the channels are
straight enough to admit the largest
warshipS, while at the same tins
there is sufficient facilities for The
smallest submarine or torpedo-boa1
to be perfectly protected from an!

1t was recalled that Mr.. Arai wa:
the head of a steamship company
that tried to get station in Lower
California two years ago.
