Condition.

Portsmouth, ~ H., Aug. l3.-Dr.
Charles P. Bancroft, superintendent of
the New Hampshire state hospital for
the insane at Concord. yesterday issued
a statement in regard to the condition
of Mrs. Mary r. Folsom. wife of Henry
NJ. Folsom, the Somerville school com

mer home in Newmarket, y. H., on June
20.
The statement declares that Mrs. Fol
som is suffering from form of de-
mentia, that she is entirely irresponsible
and that her mental tendencies are both
homicidal and suicidal.
sMrs. Folsom is suffering from form
of dementia which has been coming on
for the past five years" states the re-
port. "The disease is permanently and
progressively weakening her mind. The
effect of the disease is to weaken her
will power, impair her moral and intel
Iectual judgment and make her the ir-
resistible victim OF her morbid impulses
and defective reason. She is entirely ir-
responsible and her mental tendencies
are both homieidsl and suicidal"

Origin of NAVY" Workers.

The seventeenth century canals or
navigations gave rise to the navy"
a term very slowly evolved from nav
igator." There are many country pub
lie houses in England still existing that
testify to the navyy's early des1gna'
ton on their sign, THE Nayigators'
Arms" which depicts brawny labor
er with spade in one hand and
foaming pot of beer in the other. But
you may search England through and
through and you will not find Nav
WIS Arms" Curiously enough, while
the navy who makes our roads now
obtained his designation from digging
out canals, the canals were all legally
classified as roads in great body OF
statutes-the road acts. But what
would have been his nickname II rail-
ways had come before waterways

PROSECUTIONS NOT DELAYED.
Criminal Suits in New Haven Case Not
Affected.

Washington. Aug. l3.-Criminal prose-
cutions under the Sherman law in the
New Haven railroad case will not be de-
layed by the agreement to settle the
governments civil suit without a pro-
longed court fight.
No official statement was made yes
terday at the department OF justice, but
it was made clear that the action of the
New Haven directors in accepting terms
which permit of presenting an agreed de-
cree for dissolution of the merger to
the federal court win not stay the plans
for criminal proceedings as soon as pos
sible
The next move viii be to bring up
the civil case in the federal court in
New York City.
The option of the state of Massachu-
sets on the Boston & Maine stock is
not affected by the agreement with the
government. The sale of the stock is
to be put in the hands OF board Of
trustees.
Officials here point out that the real
idea underlying the option is to head
of the interests inimical to Boston in
particular and Massachusetts in gen
eral.
1t is expected that the New Haven
NAV represent to new legislature that
the option constitutes restriction on
the sale and that il should be given a
free hand in selling the property at the
best possible advantage within the year
allotted at the expiration OF which the
court would step in and order a sale.

Bailey Murder Prosecution
Is Also Investigating
Story
OF A NURSE
IN BUFFALO
She Was in Freeport-Now
Is a Nervous
Wreck

Freport, L. l., Aug. l3.-That a
woman in Buffalo is alleged to have con-
fessed TO the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey in the office of DR.. Edwin Carman
on the night OF June 30 and has eX-
onerated Mrs. Florence Carman, the wife
OF the physician under indictment for
manslaughter in the first degree as the
person responsible for the fatal shooting
of Mrs Bailey, was the information
which reached here yesterday.
DR.. Carman and his lawyer, George NJ
Levy, are now in Buffalo investigating
the story OF the confession, said TO have
been made by Mrs. Helen Cohan on Aug.
H. District Attorney Lewis y. Smith OF
Nassau county, who is preparing to
prosecute the case this fall, is reported
to be getting ready to 90 to Buffalo. ac-
companied BY Sheriff Steve Petit of Mas
sau county Carman and Levy~have been
there since Monday evening.
According to the message sent here
Mrs. Conan is in the state hospital Tor
the insane at Niagara Falls, but Drs.
Welsh and Campbell OF the hospital staff
are quoted as having declared that she
is not insane, suffering merely from ex-
treme nervousness.
Mrs. Cohan is alleged to have been
known under several names and is de-
scribed as being about 35 years old. The
story from Buffalo runs that she is a
trained nurse and lived in the North
Bingham section of Freeport some five
years ago, when she was known as Mrs.
Hanley. She was in the vicinity Of Free
port on the night OF the murder, the
message from Buffalo states.
The confession is alleged to have been
made when the woman visited the hos
pital for treatment on Aug. I, but when
interviewed by Carman and Levy on
Monday, Mrs. Cohan repudiated the
story of the confession
Chief of Police Lyons Of Buffalo is re-
ported to have asserted that Mrs. Cohan
voluntarily admitted that she shot Mrs.
Bailey.
Only neighbors and close friends of
the Carmans were inclined yesterday to
put any credence in the news.
After being detained thirty-six days
in the Nassau county Jail as material
witness in the case of Mrs. Carman, Ell
wood L. Bardes an insurance agent. was
released in $500 bail yesterday On the
application of Bardes' counsel, Alexander
Drescher, Justice Van Siclen in the
Brooklyn supreme court reduced the
amount of bail under which Bardes was
held from $1,000. Mrs Nellie Gerkins Of
Freeport. who keeps boarding house
where Bardes lived, furnished the surety
for the bond.
70 was on Bardes' sensational and un-
expected testimony at the inquest before
Coroner Norton that the order for the
arrest of Mrs. Carman was issued. She
was taken into custody in the afternoon
of the day Bardon appeared on the wit
ness stand.

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
What a Procession of Those Born In
One Year Would Mean.

One Year Would Mean
II has been computed that about
$4,000, 900 babies are born into the
world each year The rate of produc-
ton is, therefore, about seventy per
minute, or more than one for every
beat OF the clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
every one who stops TO calculate what
this means when it comes to years
supply. 1t win, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find, on
the authority of well known statis-
tician, that, could the infants of year
be ranged in a line in cradles, the
cradles would extend around the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
In more picturesque light. He inn
AGNES the babies being carried past
given point in their mothers arms,
one by one, and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour in the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at the
rate of twenty minute. 1900 an hour,
during the entire year, the reviewer at
his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began
would be able TO walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when
the years supply Of babies was draw
Ing to a close there would be rear
