JUDGE SCORES z
Sentencing THEM
They Were Convicted of Steal
ing Hay and Oats from
Stable.

Judge William p. Martin, in Quar-
ter Sessions Court today. showed ut
ter disgust in sentencing two men
charged with stealing oats and hay
from the stables of the Cook &,
Genung Company
The two men, Frederick Easton
and Michael Samuels, had pleaded
guilty to the charge, and stood
shamefaced as Judge Martin in
scathing tones said:
You men have pleaded to stealing
oats and hay. 1t is not so much taht
the crime was against the men you
were working for as it is that it was
against dumb brutes. l understand
you stole the food of the horses that
you We're driving for your employers.
Such actions as that call for the
righteous Indignation of any court.
To extend clemeney to you would not
be fair or for the best interests of
Justice"
He then sentenced Easton to six
months in the County Penitentiary
and Samues to the Railway Re-
formatory Caeser A. Cannaro, to
whom Easton and Samuels had sold
some of the food stolen from the
horses, got off with a suspended sem
tence, according to reports made to
Judge Martin, Cannaro ceased buy
ing the hay and grain as soon as he
learned it was stolen.
Joseph Ridgeway, who pleaded
guilty to several minor robberies, was
given one year in the penitentiary,
while James Burns, who had a peni-
tentiary term cut short and been
placed on probation, was returned
there for violation of his parole.
Terms in the Railway Reformatory
were given to Nicola Caspozza for as
sault and battery, and Peter Branni-
gan for carrying concealed weapons.
Elizabeth Mahan. a 19-year-old East
Orange girl, who pleaded guilty to
stealing from the home of her em-
ployer, and who, while under arrest in
the Orange Jail. pleaded sick, and was
sent to the Orange Memorial Hos
pital, from where she mare her es-
cape, aided by two young men, was
sent to the New Jersey Home for
Girls, at Clifton.

Nurse AvertS
Hospital Panic

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 20.-But
for the presence of mind of a nurse
in Christ Hospital, in Palisade ave-
nue. today a fire which started in the
pharmacy of the hospital would have
endangered the lives of the patients
in that institution. The blaze start
ed when she was filing prescrip-
tion. Several crystals of perman-
ganate of potash fell to the floor into
a small pan of formaldehyde, the mix
ture causing intense heat.
Not noticing the incident, the nurse
started to pour a quantity of ether
from one bottle into another, and as
she did so the ether ignited, setting
fire to the woodwork in the room.
The nurse, whose name was not
given, seized a fire extinguisher and
after several minutes put out the
h'nze.

the Japanese cabinet at the reassem-

been made by the sciyukas. or con-

Should the opposition insist on its
Impeachment plans, the Diet will be
dissolved at once. The cabinet. how

wise sell for from IL to 90 cents a
pound, and inasmuch as the ordinary
seed is not as hardy as Grimm, the
first severe winter may kill the en-
tire crop.
The original Grimm alfalfa sown
in 1858 in Carver county, Mimi, has
undergone a natural cross with the
common variety which, together with
its exposure to numerous severe win
ters which have eliminated the weak
er plants, has made it one of the
hardest of our commercial strains.
The seed was produced originally en-
tirely in Minnesota, but tests of the
true variety since grown in Dakota,
Montana, and Idaho indicate that
these lots are all OF equal value and
are quite as hardy as those grown
in Minnesota.
AS it is difficult to detect substi-
tutes for Grim N in the seed, the
farmers are urged to buy Grimm only
from reliable dealers and, as far as
possible, to trace the seed back to
its source. In many cases the retail
ers are not deliberately perpetrating
a fraud, as they have purchased this
seed for Grimm and sell 1t in the
belief that it is Grimm.
This seed has become very popu-
lar in regions of cold winters and is
now used not only in the Northwest
but in the East, particularly in
northern New York and New Eng
land.
Similarly it is found that in the
dry-land regions where the winters
are severe and there is little snow
fall and comparatively little moisture
the nothern alfalfa seed grown in
cold regions on dry land is especial
ly useful. Much of this seed comes
from Montana, and it is found that
INSCRIPTIONS dealers have been TAX
ing seed raised under irrigation in
that state and selling it as Montana
dry-land alfalfa seed.

ALFALFA SEED

Recent Investigations by the De-
partment of Agriculture have re-
yealed the fact that large quantities
of ordinary alfalfa seed are being
offered for sale under the name of
Grimm. 1t has also been found that
large quantities of alfalfa seed raised
under irrigation are being sold as
orthern-grown dry-land seed.
In the cases of some of this seed 1t
was found that it was not even do
nestle seed, but was wholly or in
part imported Turkestan seed. This
practice of selling other seed for
Grimm results in the farmer paying
from 40 cents to 81 or more per
pound for seed which would other
