CARMAN MURDER CASE.

On the night of June 80, last, Mrs
ouisa Bailey was 4 patient in the
private Office of DR.. Edwin Carman
at Mineola. Long Island. A bullet
was fired into the window and killed
Yrs. Bailey. 1t was all mystery for
few days: then Mrs. Carman, clev-
or and handsome wife Of the physi-
ian, was arrested. Charged with
murder If the first degree, the
States theory being that she was
ealous of her husband, she goes on
rial for her life today.
Both the physician and his wife
p-otest thai they know nothing of
he murder. Mrs. Carman has sought
70 make an alibi. chiefly on testi-
mony Of her mother and her little
daughter. 1t has been found that
Mrs. Carman was so far jealous of
her husband that she had a dicto-
graph secretly installed in his office
and listened to his conversations
With women patients.
Before suspicion had become so
crystallized as to cause a move for
Mrs. Carnan's arrest, the funeral of
Re victim was held, and it is now
noted that Or. and Mrs. Carman sent
%" condolences. no flowers; paid no
attention at all to the funeral. ex-
pressed 40 sorrow that Mrs. Bailey
Rad beer killed in their home.
There is no theory about the muir
der save that which the State has
developed, pointing to Mrs. Carman
as the guilty person. Yet despite
everything, there is widespread opin-
on that, whatever the testimony
may develop, it will be impossible to
secure verdict of guilt. For many
wears no woman has been tried in
New York for first degree murder.
and the opinion is widely and frank
~ expressed that the trial will re-
suit in another demonstration of the
impossibility of holding woman, at
tractive and clever, for such a crime.
Not only this, but reports declare
that preponderance of sentiment in
the community where the parties
lived and the trial win take place. is

WAR AND INSURANCE.

The other day a military author.
ity, discussing the high mortality
among officers of the British army
during the first few weeks of the
war, declared that if the war should
continue so long as now seems prob
able, substantially all the field Off
GERS who entered at the beginning
of the conflict would be lost before
its conclusion. He placed the num-
her of these at 10,2Gl.
This is a fearful mortality; a
frightful loss for the nation 20 sus-
tain. Some of the wide-rcaching eff
fects, in places where they would
not readily be realized, were SIG
gested by an insurance authority,
commenting on these mortality fig
ures.
He was quoted as saying that Brit
ish army officers carried a total Of
Si25, 100000 of lie insurance in
American companies, and suggesting
the extent CT the calamity that these
companies must bear in the event Of
so frightfrl a death list.
In time of peace, your army Of
ficer is a promising risk enough. He
is man of frst-class health, good
habits, and an occupation that offers
rather modest risks save in war. It
is hard to believe that 10000 British
army officers are carrying. an aver
age of $4,000 insurance in Aneri-
can companies; that would indicate
quite too successful IN American in
surance invasion of Great Britain.
But without doubt life insurance
companies in general, American as
we'll as European, will suffer severe
ly ty the war mortality.

VIRGINIA WILL SUE
MORGAN FOR WILL

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. 19-Attorney
General Pollard Of Virginia has been
directed by Governor Stuart to proceed
with the suit against ]. F. Morgan. Of
New York. to recover the will cf Mar
tina Washington. stolen from Fairfax
county during the civil war. John s.
Barbour has been retained by the
supervisors Of Fairfax county to assist
Attorney General Pollard in the litiga-
ton.
The action against Morgan will De
brought in the Supreme Court OF the
United states as soon as possible. The
papers in the case are already in pro-
cess of preparation. The last legisla-
ture passed a bill directing that the
suit be brought in the event the New
York financier refused to give up tho
papers when full explanation had heen
made to him by the governor of Vir-
GINA. Several interviews with Morgan
by a member of the governors staff
have failed to bring the former to an
agreement to return the will to Vir-
ginia.

Missouri Agricultural College has
found ton of timothy takes as
much from the soil as is taken for
getting twelve tons of butter. The
timothy will bring only $40, accord
ing to tie college, and the butter will
yield mere than $4,000 and often as
high as $4,000.
A ton of pork will take $50 of
fertility from an acre and will sell
for S11O. A ton of butter, selling
for more than $40 will take II cents
Of fertility. On this Lasis it would
take butter producer 2Gs years to
remove from the soil the amount of
fertility which ti,a grain farmer saps
from the ground every year.
Iowa collegians making exhaustive
experiments in agriculture have de-
cided $3.50 year is the waste to

in its entirety silos have been
brought into extensive use, $4,000

These silos have done much to re-
dcce the enormous loss of acreage

The remedy lies in increa sing the

AS TO KOTCHIN' EN-"

The Paris Figaro has turned up
as the real strategist that the allies
have been needing. It's plan for
ending the war is SO simple that it
seems strange nobody has thought Of
it sooner.
The Figaro proposes the seizure of
Frau Krupp, the Kings of Saxony,
Wurttemburg, and Bavaria, a bunch
If dukes, grand dukes, and princes,
and the Kaiser, to be held as hos
tages for the repayment Of the in
IDENTITIES that the Germans have as
sessed against captured cities.
Even the amateur strategy boards,
so facile in the evolution of plans to
manage the war right, will have to
hang their heads in shame that they
didn't think of this. But not all the
credit can be given to the Paris
newspaper. So far as our informa-
lion goes, the suggestion originated
with the proposal of a Maryland
farmland of Senegambian extrac-
ton, who demanded to know:
BOSS, wy doan dey go out an
kotch dis we're Kaisah an stop de
wah!"
That's really all there is to it.
Just go out and "kotch" the Kaiser.

Unsightly Tract Needs Improvement

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag.
Could you in your consistent work
for the community use the influence OF
Your paper to bring about condition
In Wisconsin avenue from r street to
Thirty-fourth street. that would not be
an eye-sore to all who have to pass up
this thoroughfare by street car. and a
menace to those so bold as to try to use
1t for vehicular traffic. There are few
sufficiently hardy to essay a passage
along this street on foot.
Some months ago the grade Of Wis
consin avenue. through what Is known
as the hollow" was changed. The car
tracks We're raised, and several feet OF
I'LL was poured in under them and over
the old roadway, which was ban enough,
goodness knows. This fill forms great
clay bank down the middle Of the
street, practically all the way through
the hollow. Not even the gas street
lamps have been raised. and there are
no sidewalks. In rainy weather the

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
A larger number Of cars should be
run on the Georgetown line Of the
Washington Railway and Electric COM
pany. After observations made daily
for many years, it Is evident that at
least three Mt. Pleasant cars are run to
one Georgetown car. 1 have seen on
more than one occasion, seven Mt.

be about three to one. The Georgetown
cars transfer to the Cabin John line, to
the Rockville and Great Falls cars.

besides carrying passengers going to
Fort Myer, Bluemont, and the Great

only reason for this condition that I
