Police Open War
 On Human VuliureS
 Al Railroad Station

Marking the first step in a cam palgn the police have opened upon two distinct gangs of panhand4ers, Frank Burns who the police say is a ne'er-do-weIl, was taken into custody by Patrofman John Barton in Water street this forenoon charged with vag- rancy- Fine charge of drunkenness a1- so was lodged against him.
 Burns had in tow Michael J. Boyle, a farmer of Falls Village to whom the police say he had told a, touching story of having lost his health in the regular army, being destitute and in need of food. Burns will be arraign ed in City court tomorrow.
 The police say there are two classes of human vultures lowering about the railroad station. One comprises the ordinary type of panhandFers, who await the arrival of trains bringing in rustics to whom their hard luck stor- ies often appeal. The other consists of swindfers of foreign extraction, who await their fel1ow-countryme with all sorts of schemes to separate them from their savings.

FOOD FOR NEW ENGLAND
What She Is Eating Now GIim.
 psed in Harlem Freight Yard

Although New England raises plen- ty of fruits and vegetables herself, just a hint of what she buys and con sumes in this line from outside her borders, while waiting for her own crops to ripen, is afforded in the per tshable freight movement at this time of year passing through the Harlem 1-ivler freight terminal of the New ork, New Haven & Hartford railroad in the Borough of the Bronx, New York city.
 The movement of produce into New England reaches it's height in June and July. Very nearly all of it, coming as 1t does from the south, passes through the great transfer yards at Harlem River where cars are received by the New Haven from the roads entering New York.
 while potatoes are one of New Eng lands chief crops, amounting to over 4f, coo GOO bushels in 1909, the census year, there were received and de spatched to New England points from the Harlem River yard in the month from June 15 to July 15, 1721 carloads of potatoes or an average of 54 day. Boston got $50 carloads, Providence 2O4. worcester n, Springfield 102, Hart ford 70 New Haven 38 and other points 6s6. This is more potatoes than were ever handled before Some of the very cars in. which these are now being brought into New England will in a. short time be travelling back load ed with Maine potatoes.
 There were likewise handled in the same r,orrth 467 carloads of southern va arern2elons, of which 211 went to Boston, 66 to Providence, IS to Wor- cester, 2s to Springfield and 15 to Hartford. In the same period I85 carloads of cantaloupes, 1d2 carloads of berries and 98 carloads of peaches passed through the yard inbound.
 The Harlem River yard covers half a so,1are mile and contains 86 miles of track. All but a small portion of it is now operated electrically. It is one of the largest transfer yards in the country handling about 5000 freight cars a day, in and out lit tie of this kind of produce enters New EngIand over the Poughkeepsfe bridge but the Harlem River yard is really the great food gateway for this part of the country.

Especial to The Farmer.)

eSp6cla1 10 The FaTnefO
 Westport, July 3i.-Rai1road men who last night and today inspected the scene of the dera1lnen at $40 last eve ming of a west bound freight train at the ilI-fateds Westport switch where on Oct. 13 last year the Springfield ex- press was wrecked with many fatali- ties, are convinced that the nishap was due to the collapse of a part of the 1ocornot tive, which fe&I into the roadbed, tore up the ties and rafIs, and derailed the locomotive and eight freight cars.
 The sinister aspect of the wreck is the coincidence of its scene with that of the tragedy of last fall, for the deaths in which the New Haven rail- road officials are now under indictm ent None was injured, though for a short time wild reports startled the vicinity and excited persons summoned West port doctors to the scene
 The deraiIment took place at the identical switch that marked the de- ra1lment of the Springfield express. The locomotive and cars zfg-zagged along the roadbed, tearing up ties and rails, but none of the cars toppIed over The locomotive was dangerously near the bridge when it came to a stop.
 Two wreok1ng outfits, one from liar lem river, the other from New Haven, quickly improv1sed a way for other trains to pass the olostr uct1on, by lay ing a. temporary line Into a siding and allowing the trains to go by without difficulty.
 There were AZ cars in the freight train.
