After very profitable session, the
University of Maine Summer School in
Forestry, carried on in the heart of the
Maine woods, has just closed at Lun-
kasoo, near Stacyville. This was the
second session of the school. Profess
sor John NJ. Briscoe of the department
OF forestry at the university was in
charge Of the course. and among
those who attended the school were
timberland owners, students and
guides from Maine, Massachusetts,
and Connecticut. OF necessity the
curriculum was very elementary, as
there were no entrance requirements,
and many Of the students had had no
previous knowledge of forestry work.
A brief survey was made of the fields
of agriculture, mensuration, forest
botany, forest protection and lumber
ing. as well as the economics OF fores-
try. Instructor Eaton of the Univer-
sity OF Maine Forestry School taught
the latter subject. -
The members of the Bowdoin Col
lege faculty have practically given
up hope Of having Prof Herbert G..
Bell of the department of history back
with them at the opening of the term.
Prof Bell, who is an English subject,
was in Munich at the outbreak of the
war and has been unable to leave Ger
many. The last heard from him was
in o letter which stated that he was
at Fre'burg, Baden. which Is only a
short distance from Muelhausen,
where one OF the sharpest battles of
the war has been fought. The friends
OF Prof. Bell are In hopes that he may
be able to be exchanged with the frst
lot OF non-combatant prisoners, ne
gotiations for which are now pending
between England and Germany.

The potato flour industry, hereto.
fore controlled by Germany, is to be
taken over Immediately by American
manufacturers. One New York deal
er, who has depended upon Germany
for this product for years, is now in
Maine for the purpose of establishing
plant for the output of this product
in one of the most fertile potato grow
ing sections. This flour is used by
bakers who are required to supply a
very moist bread. For the shipper
who sends his product considerable
distances to market it been found alb
solutely necessary, as the product of
wheat or rye alone would dry out and
become useless.

Worried over business reverses,
saloonkeeper, of 38 Holland street, to-
day shot himself to death in the rear
room of his saloon. His dead body
was found few minutes later by his
wife, Mrs. Florence Pryor.
A short time before he ended his
life, Pryor went to the office Of DR..
Ignatz Klein, All Springfield avenue,
who he's been treating him. Pryor
settled bill he owed and then said:
I'm we'll, now, Doctor. won't
give you any more trouble"
Pryor then went to his home and
sending his wife on an errand, shot
himself through the head.
Upon her return to the house Mrs.
Pryor was approached by Harry
Wexler, neighbor, who told her OF
having heard q shot. Her fears were
realized upon entering the saloon.
Mrs Pryor tainted and had to have
the services of a physician.
Pryor's saloon has been closed since
last Friday. Business was SO dull,
he told friends, that he could not
continue it. He said he planned to
open a saloon in Montclair Today
the furniture In his home and saloon
were packed ready for removal.
The suicide has been in Newark
five years. He came here from the
New England states. He was a
knife-maker by trade and worked at
his line of business in this city for
few months. Then his sight failed
him and he opened saloon at S74
Springfield avenue, later removing to
the Holland street place.

before we located him. 1t didn't take
long for our marksmen to finish that
refined gentleman. After three shots
had been fired he came tumbling
down. While his body was descend
ing, our sailors turned their rapid
fire guns on him, practically riddllng
his carcass.
His body looked like sieve when
we got to 1t. The boys put a rope
around his neck and dragged the
body to the river, where 1t was left
as an example to other 'snipers.'
They do the same with some of the
cops down here.

Miller "a friend of the writer who is
now on the Newark police force), IL

NOTED DNEGRO TELLS
NEEDS Of HIS RACE
Booker r. Washington Says
Greatest Difficulty Is Getting
Them to Work.
Especial to the Evening star.l

SUMMIT, May '1S-Before a mixed
congregation of 700 who crowded into
the Central Presbyterian Church last
night Booker T. Washington, the best
known negro educator in this coun-
try, expounded his ideas of estab-
fishing a closer relationship between
the whites and negroes. Practical
education among the negroes, the
people of his race, formed the key
note of Mr.. Washingtons address.
Mr.. Washington said that he had
never been able to determine the date
or place of his birth. His earliest
recollection of that event, he said
is of slave cabin in Alabama. When
boy he heard of the Hampton Instl-
tute in Virginia. where poor boys
were educated. He walked from Ala
bama, several hundred miles, to the
institute. He worked his way
through and after he was graduated,
he concluded that one who had been
benefited so much from education
should share 1t with his less fortu-
nate brothers.
Mr. Washington then told of the
stitute, which he established thirty
years ago.
I'VE started with few students In
small shack" he said. To-day
there are 1000 negro students and a
faculty of more than $50. The build
ings and property of the institute are
valued at 81, 500 900, and the institution
has an endowment fund of more than
So, ,000, 900. The Tuskagee Institute re-
quires more than $150000 a year for
running expenses.
1.-The greatest difficulty has been to
impress on the people of my race the
necessity for work. While 1t is a bad
thing to be worked, it is noble to
work The idea put forth in the Tus-
kagee Institute is to articulate the
teachings of the institute with the
life and needs of the negro people In
the South and to make whole educa-
ton definitely practicable. This has
been, and is, the means of establish
ing closer and happier relations be-
tween the black and white people In
the South"
A good part of Mr.. Washington
| listeners were negroes, and to them
: he gave a short practical talk on the
proper methods of living and assist
ing him In his chosen work.

Eelection by the Pulaski Fife and
Drum Corps
Last year there were four bands in
the parade, but this year there was
but fife and drum corps and a band,
and neither had more than half the
usual number of pieces. The object of
this was to have as little music as
possible, merely enough for marching
purposes, and when a church was
passed there was merely a tap on a
snare drum Last year there was
some criticism, and the committee
wished to avoid 1t this year. A per-
NIT had been received from the Board
of Education for the use of the
