bility, because it was soon discov-
cred that by the action of hot water
under high pressure, this new SUBJ
stance was readily converted into
limestone and ammonia.
Hence, although calcium cyanamid
can be easily converted into the de-
sired cyanid, Professor Frank recog-
nized the greater desirability of pro-
ducing from it substances that
would be capablsof furnishing nitro
genous at a low cost.
Professor Franks son went ono
step further, and suggested that per-
haps the calcium cynamid might
be slowly changed into compounds
available for plant use under the
combined influence Of the moisture
and carbonic acid of the soil and the
heat Of the suns rays, and that
therefore it might be used directly
as an artificial fertilizer.
Valuable Fertilizer.
The correctness Of this theory was
first tested in 1901 and 1902. Many
tests were made in pot and field
which showed that crude calcium cy-
cynamid containing 20 per cent of nj
trogen could be considered the equi-
valent Of ammonia sulphate, and
therefore might serve as a suitable
heterogeneous fertilizer.
These results have since been con-
experimentally in different
countries, and there now seems to
be no doubt but that it is a valuable
fertilizer, having "a per cent of its
nitrogen available for plant Use

COURT TODEC|DE
WHO OWES FOR
KEEFER CANDY
Confectioners Sue for $50 for
Goods Bought by Wife-Hus-
band Awaiting Separation.

A peculiarly knotty question at law
will be decided in the Municipal Court
next week, namely:
Pending legal separation, the
husband presumably is liable for the
necessities required by the wife,
which, in the case of Mrs. Grace
Macy Keefer, are alleged (by Mrs.
Keefer) to include some $3.50 worth
Of sailed almonds. ice cream. fruit
punch and chocolates, the same con-
shutting a bill of particulars supplied
Wy the Nunnally Company to Mrs.
Keefer in the months of June and
July, 1918.
The position of the Nunnally Com
pany in the matter is businesslike in
the extreme-the concern merely de-
sires payment of the bill, and has
started suit.
Husband Is complaeent.
David H Keefers position also is
easily understood; He being no longer
Mrs. Keefer's maintainer, the bill does
not interest him, except as an exhibit
in what he thinks is extravaganza.
Mrs, Keefer. who set out to build
model apartments for the occupancy
OF bachelor girls and to reform At
lanta cafes by investigating their
kitchens in a dish washing capacity
asserts that at the time the Nunnally
account was being compiled she was
not separated from Mr.. Keefer, and
hence he was legally and morally re-
sponsible for her necessities"
Wherefore, Mrs. Keefer in filing
with Howard G. Stevens, deputy
municipal clerk, her reply to the suit
of the Nunnally Company, asserts
that the chocolates. fruit punches,
sailed almonds, minis and various
consignments of variegated ice cream
all were very necessary to her main
tenance in a state of health and COM
fort, and not luXuries in the com
monty accepted sense of the term.
Clerk no Authority, He Says.
Mr.. Stevens himself is not in po-
sition to say that Mrs. Keefer's reply
to the Nunnally suit is a valid one.
"Caramels and sailed almonds are
not necessary to my own existence"
he said. cautiously, but | am not
prepared to say that such items are
not absolutely requisite to the exist
enee of somebody else.

is strictly a question for the court to

Coroner Says Blind
Inmate Killed in Fall
Wasn't Properly Guarded

After an investigation into the death
of Alexander S. Seisich, a partially
blind inmate at the county almshouse
whose skull was fractured by a fall
from third floor window, Coroner
Jacob Eckinger late this afternoon
criticised the absence of attendants or
guards under the circumstances.
THE man could scarcely see his
way about" said the coroner. land it
certainly seems to me that. there
should have been an attendant or
someone to guard against any acci-
dent happening to him. While | can't
say that the man was despondent. 1t
Is evident that he either jumped or
fell out of the window One of the
guards was digging in the garden
when l got there and l don't know
where the other was"
A room mate of Seisich said he felt
someone brush past the bed during
the early morning hours and was
aroused just in time to see pair of
bare feet disappear over the window
sill.
The body of Seisich was found hud-
died in heap beneath the third floor
open window Of his room.

10000 Americans Will
Soon Be in Vera Cruz;
City Is Reported Quiet
By Associd,ed Press

Washington, d. c.. April 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson and his war staff to-day
proceeded with their plans for op-
erations in Mexico with busnesslike
expedition.
The day found every available
American warship ploughing south
ward for the Mexican coasts on the
Atlantic and the Pacific and q full
brigade of the First Army Division
shipping In transports from Galveston
for Vera Cruz. This army force would
place more than 10000 American
troops in the Mexican seaport to hold
the city or begin offensive operations
toward Mexico City with Vera Cruz as
a base.
No plans for further aggressive
movements about Vera Cruz were
made to-day. The President. in talk
ing over the situation with callers,
said that for the present no general
campaign outside of Vera Cruz was
planned and that no further campaign
would be begun unless General Huerta
declared war or sought reprisal for the
seizure of the city. The President
told Representative Fitzgerald that no
further war funds were needed as yet
and that none would be asked for
unless a general war was precipitated
by Huerta.
Vera Cruz Is Quiet
Meantime reports from Admiral
Badger in Vera Cruz said that the city
was comparatively quiet and that the
American forces were doing their ut
most to restore order and aid in the
restoration of business. Bands from
the American fleet gave concerts in
the streets where few hours before
the rattle of rifles had heralded death
and injury.
BY tomorrow Admiral Badger will
have $500 marines and bluejackets
ashore at Vera Cruz. sufficient he
says, to repulse any effort that may
be made by the Mexican forces under
General Mas. now at Soledad. thirty
six miles away. The transports. con-
voyed by the first torpedoboat division.

|Dme drastic action ought to be taken

lance be enforced or else repealed
IS a dead letter. But Chief of Police
: )utchison, who few months ago,
Ipdified the laws and secured the pass
|ge of the ordinance regulating traf-
|c. declares that on the whole the
|'affic ordinance has worked out well,
nd that the police force is not large
|hough to watch all violations of the

ITO do that we must have the CO.

her representative body of citizens"
bid Chief Hutchison to-day, adding
bat the Motor Club official had only
prefer charges against any indi-
dual, merely phoning in the num-
er of the offender and Il e police de-
.lrtment would see that the offender
as properly hailed before a magis-
| ate.
Chief Hutchison explained to-day
by that without at least two mounted
.plicemen, it would be impossible to
fe half the offenses and that to get
pm observers of the law in all parts
the city at least a dozen mounted
Dlicemen would be necessary. Chief
utchison said that a couple of

had then suggested that the club
