KING GEORGES ASSASSIN.
Demeanor Denotes Irresponsibiliw-
Constantine Succeeds to Throp Q,

Saloniki, March 19.-King George,
of Greece, was assassinated while
walking in the streets OF Saloniki on
Tuesday afternoon. The assassin was
a Greek of low mental type, who
gave his name as Aleko Sehinas. He
shot the King through the heart.
The King was accompanied only
by aide-de-camp, Lieut.. Col. Fran
coudis. The assassin came suddenly
at the King and Aired one shot from
a seven-chamber revolver. Schinas
was seized Immediately ard over
powered.
The wounded King was lifted into
a carriage. He was still breathing
when placed in the carriage.
The assassin of the King is an evil
looking fellow, about 40 years of age.
On being arrested he refused to ex-
plain his motive for the crime. He
declared his name was Aleko Scbi-
nGs, and in reply to an officer who
asked him whether he had no pity
for his country, announced that he
was against governemnts.
Schinas Was irresponsible.
Schinas maintained a perfectly inn
passable demeanor, which was sug-
gestive of his being irresponsible for
his actions.
Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which the King received attention he
was dead OF arrival at the hospital.
The King fell into the arms OF his
aide when shot. Two soldiers ran
up on hearing firing and helped to
support him. He was placed in a
carriage, while efforts were made to
stop the bleeding, but he breathed
his last on the way to the hospital
nearby.
Constantine New King.
Prince Nicholas, the Kings third
son, and other officers hurried to the
hospital. Arriving first Prince Mich
olas summoned the officers and,
speaking in a voice choked with
sobs, said:
at is my deep grief to have to an
nounc to you the death of u be-
loved Eing and invite you to swear
fidelity to your new sovereign, King
Constantine"
Grown Prince Constantine, who
succeeds King George, is at present
at Janina. He is expected to come
here with all possible speed.

ASSN LIVED IN NEW YORK
rs Said TO he Man of Education, but
An Atheist.

New York, March 22.-Alt q Schi-
mas, who killed King George, once
lived for several months in New
York city, so 1t was published yes
terday by the Atlantis, an afternoon
paper published in the Greek Ian
guage. Several Greeks who reside
here had told the editor they re-
memDered having met Schinas, but
none of them recollect just where he
lived. He was in the United States
at least six months and went back to
,Salonika soon after it was captured
by the Greeks. He had been six
years absent from Salonika.
The Greek consul in New York,
Demetrios N. Botassi, got word yes
terday from a number Of, fellow
countrymen that Schinas was not the
beggar or man of low character he
was supposed to be, but was a man
of education, not a Socialist, but a
Nihilist or Anarchist.
"%Schinas, ] have been told by
Greeks who know him. said Mr.. Bo-
tassi, was a much more intelligent
type Of man than is indicated by the
news dispatches. He was well edu-
Gated and q confirmed atheist and
Anarchist. He established, some
time ago, a school at Volo, in Greece,
where he started an Anarchist anti
government campaign. The govern
ment shut up his school. Then he
became a candidate from Volo for
the Greek National Assembly. He
ran as an extreme Radical and was
defeated. 1t is probable that his de-
feat embittered him against King
George as the visible supreme head
of the Greek nation"

PRODUCING SWEEPSTAKES CORN
Winner at Recent Corn Exposition
Tells Of Accomplishments,


AS our readers know, j. T. Hen
derson, OF Kentucky, won the la
tional sweepstakes for best 10 ears
of white dent corn at the recent ma
tional corn show. In a letter to
Southern Farming, Mr.. Henderson
tells just how he grew this corn.
The following are his W words:
About ten years ago l began to be
interested in a larger yield of corn
per acre than / was getting. After
trying all varieties that were recon-
mended to me, I settled down upon
the Boone County White, finding 1t
to be the heaviest yielder and best
suited to my soils, which consist of
three kinds, light clay loan in bot
tom, medium clay, and heavy clay
on upland. / found that by careful
selection OF seed with the best of
cultivation my yields were increas-
ing and the corn OF better type. I
took a sample of the corn to both
county and State fairs and won prizes
at both places. This gave me the
idea I most needed, which was to
grow something good.
So 1 became a breeder and exhib-

ttor at county, State and national
shows. During the winter OF 1911
and 1912, while sitting around the
fire. 1 began making plans for the
best corr crop L ever, grew. The
spring of 1912, being very wet and.
late, gave me plenty of time to test
all of the seed thoroughly before
planting time. This was done by
making boxes 4 inches deep, divid-.
ing into 2-inch squares, taking one
grain from butt, center and tip of
each ear. Then these were placed
In the squares, which were filled
with dirt. Only ears we're used that
terminated three grains. Each box
tested 100 ears. The stalks were al
lowed to grow heights Of 4 inches
TO show any weakness. 1 believe
the best method of testing corn is in
dirt and not in plates between damp
cloths, sand, etc.
Broke Land Deep.
As o as ground was dry enough
in spring five plows started, using
two good, heavy mules to each plow,
turning 10 inches and blowing as
deep as 1 could get the plows tn
run in the clover sod. Sod had been
heavily MANFRED with barnyard ma
nure spread in fall and early winter,
also by feeding hogs upon it the sum-

was used. As soon as the blowing
was finished the land was thoroughly
disked twice, and heavy clay soils
We're disked three times, with S-foot
tongueless disk harrows, using four
mules to each. This was followed
with a smoothing harrow going in
opposite way of last disk so as to
level all ridges, leaving ground
smooth and nice.
The planter, a two-horse, two-row
check wire, was started on May %,
right after and going in same direc-
ton as smoothing harrow, planting
three grains of the tested corr in
hills 3 feet 4 inches each way. In
10 days this field was a fine sight;
looked like every hill was up and in
its place. No replanting was neces-
sary. started blowing it with six

Jury Disagrees
in Wisner Case

NEW YORK, Feb. s.--The govern

John j. Meyers, indicted for misuse
of the mails to promote oil and min
ing properties, resulted today in no
verdict. The jury was discharged
after vainly trying for forty-six hours
to agree.
The trial lasted nine weeks and
cost the government $4,000. Wisner
and Meyers were accused of defraud-
ing investors all over the country of
more than 100000. Their main de-
Tense was that a partner, who went
to Europe but later returned to be-
come a government witness, got most
of the money.
Never in all my experiences" said
Judge Mack, "have 1 seen clearer
case for conviction or damaging evil
dence better produced. 1t is almost
incomprehensible to me how any of
these jurors could have stood out all
this time against conviction"

Health Board Head Replies to
Critics of Exhibit in

Bridgewater NJ. Arnold, president
OF the Orange Board Of Health, is
sued a statement today in the con-
troversy commenced by critics of
publicity given to deaths of tuber-
cular victims He said there is no
question that the map is more strik-
ing than mere numerical statistics
He said there was no unfavorable
comment when the map was shown
at the exhibit in Orange in 1909.
mo emphasis" Mr. Arnold states,
"should be placed on the individual
dwellings marked by spots, nor is so
placed, for the house numbers are not
indicated on the map. II proper
cleansing and disinfection after death
or removal of the tuberculosis cares
are carried out Gas in all known
cases in this city, house infection is
reduced to a minimum and there is,
of course, no reason for branding the
house as being actually infected.
What is sought is rather the birds
eye view of the rates of prevalence
in the various districts. The reason
for taking number of years back
is that the facts are then made more
impressive, and since tuberculosis
conditions at the best change but
gradually, the method is open to no
objection on that score.
"Such an exhibit should not be
taken as a reflection upon the effici-
ency of the health authorities. The
fact that certain districts show a high
prevalence may be due to the pres
ence there of races which are suscep-
tible or whose habits are unhygienic.
These are certain matters for popular
education, though not, of course, for
official action. Even housing condi-
tions are, in many respects, beyond
official control, and people should be
persuaded so far as possible to choose
the most healthful districts and to
avoid creating the congestion which
results almost necessarily in unsani-
tary conditions. For this purpose the
spot map is of unique value"
