Big Liners Held Up by Storm.

Although the weather on the Atlantic
has comparatively moderated within the
last thirty-six hours, the gales and high
seas that had been prevailing for some
ten days previous caused unusual delay In
the arrival Of the weekend fleet.
The most striking detention is that OF
the Cunarder Campania which until the
coming out OF the Lusitania was the
fastest vessel OF the compsny's fleet.
Throughout her long service she has been
consistent performer in all sorts OF
weather and rarely has come into port
more than day late.
She left Liverpool on February and
was due here on Saturday, bur despite
her engine power of twenty knots she
had 10 humor the tempests and cut down
her speed to that OF slow freighters.
Until noon yesterday IL was thought that
the one-time flyer would appear off the
Hook some time this morning, but a
message received later at the office OF
the line gave her position as go miles
east Of the Ambrose Channel Lightship
at $40 a. m. She reported squalls and
high seas. and unless the weather shows
further moderation may not dock until
tomorrow evening.
The Amefika. OF the HamburgAmeri-
can Line due yesterday from Hamburg.
reported her position as $50 miles east
OF Sandy Hook at noon. and il is doubt
full il she will be able to dock before to-
morrow morning
The American liner ST. Louis sent no
wireless rercrt yesterday but is expect
cd to dock this evening or tomorrow
forenoon.
La Savoic, of the French Line, which

RECOMMENDS CLARK
FOR GRAFT COUNSEL
Whitman's Decision Not to Accept
Will Be Taken to Assembly
PrObers To-day.

The subcommittee OF the Assembly
graft investigating committee will report
to-day 10 that body that District Attor-
ney Whitman, saying that he could not
accept the post as counsel 10 the graft
hunters, strongly recommended his as
sistant. John Kirkland Clark, for the
place.
Mr. Whitman, in company with Repre-
sentative L. W Mott, Of Oswego County,
and Henry l.. Stimson. was in consults-
ton last night with Speaker Sweet and
Assemblymen Schaap, Sullivan and Bur-
lngame at the Murray Hill Hotel. The
District Attorney had arrived with Mr..
Stimson and Representative Mott from
Washington a short time before.
"I have so much work in my own Office
that could not DO either position Justice
II 7 undertake the position said Mr..
Whitman. Il will do everything i'm my
power 10 help the investigation, and
strongly recommend my assistant. Mr.
Clark
"In my opinion. he is exceptionally
fitted for the work. There is no question
of his ability. ana he Is fully conversant
with the situation. having had it in hand
for the last four months.
II cannot, Of course, do more than ex-
press my opinion OF available counsel In
addition 10 Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Stimson and
ex-senator Harvey d. Human are both
highly capable. If the investigating COM
mittee chooses 70 do so, there should be
no reason why It could not make a splen-
did showing with any one OF the three
men"
II had been generally known that Mr..
Whitman would decline the offer. es-
pecially in the face of the obstacles likely
10 arise in the Senate when the sppro-
priaton of $4,000 expenses comes up. The
committee knew this. and prepared 10 de-
eide upon some other name than Whit
mans. Speaker Sweet had little fear OF
the threat TO nullify the investigation by
demanding a report Of the committee next
month. IL had been suggested that the
investiga tors. If they were forced TO mako
return TO the Assembly at the end OF
the present session. could accomplish
nothing.

is theory of his that they are the re-
suit of an attack OF bush fever, or
South American malaria. which lie
contracted the year before we became
acquainted while on diamond mine
exploring trip in the South American
Jungle. In any case. they date from
that time.
When | first knew him he used 10
suffer from these severe sick headaches
on an average of every two or three
weeks. Now he doesn't have them
more than once a month. II that often.

The Mayor is expected back TO work
to-day. lie left the city on Lincoln's
Birthday TO seek rest over the week
end. since, as Mr. .Bruere explained,
these headaches seem TO be brought on
usually by fatigue. .. Grant Ester

his absence, since George McAneny, the
President OF the board. has also been
out Of town.

Handled Huge Sums.

This would have teen a severe blow,
aside from any possibility OF criminal
proceedings against him for more than
anything else. IL was said, he enjoyed the
distinction Of his Office and the impor-
lance of handling the enormous sums Of
money from the revenues OF the state.
II was bitter irony that Kennedy prob
ably never would have been placed on
trial He would have been more useful
10 the District Attorneys office with the
fear Of charges over his head. as it was
felt that his shortcomings were more on
the side OF allowing himself TO be used
as tool than as an active participant in
the graft. II was even said that he knew
little of his own Office except in the
formal signing OF warrants and similar
papers.
Kennedys bankbooks were in the dling
cabinet in the Office OF John h. Clark.

urers Office

who knew him that Kennedy was In

was denied by Henry ID Burgard Of Full

Defended by His Friends.

Friends of Kennedy said he was not Ie-
spongibIe for the impression that he was
| trying TO dodge testifying before the Ne"
York grand jury geek ago FRIDAY
They said he had important business 10
attend TO in Buffalo. and simply asked 10
mt of MS appearance before Inc sranu
iu,.v when one Of the Whitman assistants
called him up on the telephone
Kennedy also felt that he had been
humiIitated AT his last appearance before
the grand jury" said Batten He
wanted TO consult a lawyer before ne
appeared again. He was in highly
nervous state after he talked over the
Telephone with Whitman's assistant and
did not know what TO do. As the time
for his train 10 Buffalo approached | ad-
vised him TO go ahead home. telling nm
that he was not legally bound 10 appear
before the grand jury. as he had not
been served with subpoena. He took
my advice and went to Buffalo. The next
morning the newspapers announced that
Whitman had started process server
up the state in search of kennedy.
Kennedy conferred with his lawyer,
Michael F. Dirnberger, jr.. in Buffalo
Norman K. Mack and others and returned
10 Albany on Monday. on that same
afternoon he was asked by newspaper
men about dispatches that he intended to
test the authority of the Whitman John
Doe inquiry.
II don't know what 1t Is all about" he
said. walking nervously up and down.
Have you seen the dispatch from New
York;" he was asked
NO. ! have not" he replied. Don't
snow it 10 me: ] can't talk about il.
Advised to Obey Subpoena.
Kennedy on Monday night discussed
the situation in his Office with some OF
his associates on the Canal Board and
his attorney. On the advice of his coun-
sci he decided 10 respond TO any subpoena
which Whitman might issue. but would
not go 10 New York 10 testify merely on
the receipt of telephone message. After
that the State Treasurer held daily con-
ferences with his fellow officials until he
left for Buffalo on Friday with his wife
Seeing his nervous condition. his friends
sought every possible method 10 take his
mind off the Whitman inquiry, but he
got little enjoyment out Of any OF the
pastimes provided for him.
Before leaving for Buffalo Dirnberger
said that the State Treasurer had been
served with a legal subpoena and that he
and his client would leave Buffalo for
New York to-day in response TO ii. The
suicide was evidently committed as the
train time approached.
While we do not see any necessity for
the grand jury inquiry" said Dirnberger,
Kennedy will not attempt TO dodge II,
but. should Whitman attempt TO force
MIN 10 testify in public before the John
Doe inquiry We may refuse. on the
ground that the New York District Attor-
ney has no authority 10 question a state
Official without legal allegation that a
crime has been committed"

SWINE ON RAPE PASTURAGE,
One of Best Emergency Crops Crown
and VIII Give Practically as Good
Results as Alfalfa.

The grower of rape should insist on
getting the Dwarf Essex, as this is the,
only variety that is suitable for hog
pasture. There is a summer or bird.
seed rape found on the market which
makes a worthless pasture and should,
not be used 1t is possible that thist
has been the cause of his mans
troubles, writes Turner Wright in the,
Farmers Mail and Breeze.
l have USED rape for several years
as pasture for both breeding and fat
tening hogs and never experienced
any difficulty in getting them to eat it.
If hogs that are not accustomed to
rape are given nc other green feed
for a few days they will soon learn to.
eat and relish it even though they are.
fed a liberal amount of grain. 1t often.
happens that hogs, after learning to.
eat rape, prefer it to clover or alfalfa
hat is coarse and woody. / have often.
changed hogs from alfalfa to rape and
from rape to alfalfa and could see no
difference in the Jay they seemed to
relish these different feeds. If the
hogs are turned on the rape when it
is from 10 to IL inches high they will
eat it more readily than if it is more
mature.
Rape is one of the best emergency
forage crops we have. A good rape
pasture will give practically as good
results as alfalfa. 1t car be sown in
feed yards and lots that are used
through the winter and hus not only
furnish a pasture to take the place of
a shortage of alfalfa or clover pas
ture but also provide a means OF
utilizing ground that would otherwise
grow a crop of unsightly and worth
less weeds.
