RELEASE is DELAYED.
Mrs. Carman May Not Leave Jail for
Some DAYS

Mineola, N. Y, July ll.--It will b
II days at least before Mrs. Florence
Conklin Carman, accused of the murder
of Mrs. Louise Bailey, can hope to leave
the Nassau county Jail here, according
to an agreement reached late yesterday
between her counsel, George NJ. Levy,
and District Attorney Louis j. Smith.
Mrs Carman's examination before a JUS
tice of the peace, set for Monday, when
she would go free she had hoped, be-
cause of lack of evidence against her,
has been deferred until July 81. This
change was asked for by the prosecutor
with two ends in view-that he might
present the case before the grand jury
and also have more time to seek corrob-
oratiye and stronger evidence. Mr., Smith
said he would 60 before the grand jury
next Tuesday.
Mrs. Carman's counsel consented to
the postponement of the examination un.
der his stipulation, agreed to bv the dis
trict attorney, that Mr.. Levy should
have the privilege of examining Elwood
7. Bardes, witness for the prosecution.
1t was chiefly upon the testimony of
Bardes, who is held as material wit
ness, that the warrant for Mrs. Carman's
arrest is based. Bardes was passing
the Carman home at the time a revolt
yer was thrust through a window of the
physicians office, he testified, and he saw
woman walking away from the window
after the shot sounded that killed Mrs.
Bsiley, patient in the Office.
An examination of Dr. Carman's rec
ords to show what patients visited him
on June 80 the night of the murder, was
begun yesterday, District Attorney
Smith said last night, but it was inter
rupted by Dr. Carman himself, the ply
sician, according to the prosecutor, put
ting stop to it, although he had pre-
viously consented to this line of inquiry.

East Braintree, July ll.-A few days
ago, G. w. Flagg of this place received
a letter from Lieut.. George Buck, sr., Of
Lincoln, Nebraska, asking him to meet
the Lieutenant at the train at Randolph

giadness.
They parted 40 years ago July Is,
both having served four full years in
the I'd Vermont, regiment from the first
Bull Run to the surrender Of Lee at

to greet each other and spend few
hours of joyful reunion.

In Exciting Soccer Game at Berlin Street
Grounds.

grounds late yesterday afternoon, the

tied for second place with the Bonac-
Vermont Football league. The Rovers
won, to /, in one of the most interest
ing and exciting games played on the
football park this season. Th9 Barre
Hi team was accompanied by an ex-
ceptionally large deputations of rooters.
The victory for the Rovers was won
by their superior team play and all
round ability over the Bonaccords. The
Rovers scored once in the first period and
once in the second period. The only
score negotiated by the Bonaccords came
in the second period on penalty kick.
The only time the Bonaccords appeared
very dangerous was in the latter part
of the game, when it seemed as though
they might forge out winner when
they concentrated their attack against
the Rovers' goal. Clarke, the brilliant
center forward of the Rovers, was the
star of the game. On a couple of cross
kicks this little player carefully guided
the ball past Goal Tender Naughton.
The first goal came after the first period
was well under way when Clarke slipped
the ball past the posts on well-drectd
pass from Brooks. Soon after the second
period started Clarke registered another
goal on a pass from Lawson. Cormack,
the husky center halfback of the Bon
accords, covered himself with glory. He
was everywhere and was the strength
of the Bonaccords' defense. A. Free
land, j. Freeland and Massie played a
strong game for the Bonaccords. Among
the Hill Rovers who were conspicuous
by their playing were Make, Lindsay |
and Moir. The summary:

From Rebel Leader Carranza About
Peace Conference.

Washington, D. c., July ll.-Word
from the Constitutionalist leader, Car
rama, over the proposal to send dele
gates to an informal peace conference
with the Huerta ENJOYS was still
awaited to- day by the administration of
flcials and the South American medi-
ators.
With the revolutionary campaign
against Mexico City nearing crisis and
the report that most of the constitu
iionalist military leaders had advised
against a parley, members of the Car
rama junta here admitted their hopes
for conference were upset
President Wilson and his cabinet to-
day continued to maintain silence over
the situation and it is generally be-
lieved that the administration will with
hold intimation of its future policy in
Mexico until the eonstitutionalist leader
has definitely outlined his attitude over

All Men Love a Good Story.

In the July American Magazine Wal
ter Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic of
that publication, writes an article in
which he comments, as follows, on the
Importance of story interest in plays:
"As man grows older, one of the
facts he comes to realize is this: that
among the great realities of life, is the
hunger for romance, the love of fairy
tale, the craving for fiction; and though
it is perfectly true that only as romance,
as fiction, carries with it some merit of
philosophy some depth and soundness of
Characterization, only as it is, in Mat
thew Arnold's oft-quoted phrase, "a crit
icism OF life can it endure, nevertheless
II is equally true that the mere profess
sion of realism in play or novel will
never make it popular. 1t must be a
story; it must catch us up into an i'm.
aginative world of its own and have the
power to hold us there, enthralled. If
story is compounded of the great reali-
ties of our present day life, it will sue
ceed-by Just so far as il is good story.
If it is a tale of the vanished Orient or
a sheer fancy out of fairyland. again it
will succeed only so far as it holds and
entertains us.
I'm other words, the drama is a form
of the larger art of fiction. II Is not
essay nor tract nor sermon nor soeio-
logical report, and the first laws il must
follow are the laws of fiction. Sermon
or essay or tract must be brought in
by the way, as deductions following log
ically from the outcome of the story
