INDUSTRY
 OF PACIFIC COAST
 BENEFITS BY WAR
Toy and Dye Manufacturers Given Long Sought Op- portunity to Increase Bus mess.

Europe's inability to supply Ameri- ca with materials and wares for which this country has relied almost solely on Europe in the past, is creat- ing a wealth of opportunity for the establishment of new industries in this country The toy manufactur ing industry is one example of this. German manufa cturerS have enjoyed almost a complete monopoly of the business, and American toy rnanufac- turers, of whom there are compara- lively few, have often complained that too little attention has been paid to their wares. Similar complains have come from manufacturers of dyes.
 Perhaps one of the greatest oppor- tunities resulting from Germany's present commercial disability, howev- CT, is to be found in the fact that the potash used in this country in the past has been derived almost entirely from the mines at Stassfurt. A cOmpara- lively small amount of potash has been derived from the nitrate deposits in Chile, but this is found in the.form of nitrate of potash, or saltpetre, and is used principally for the nanufac- ture of gunpowder and other explos- ives.
 Prof. E. H. Jenkins, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Mount Carmel, Conn, in discussing this subject a short time ago, called
 
 rived from the Stassfurt potash formed the principal ingredient of most of the fertilizers used in this country, and that this form of fer tilizer is considered necessary, espe- cially in the raising of potatoes. For this reason, he said, the dearth of fer tilizer is liable to be keenly felt next year in Maine, Maryland and the Western states, where the potato-rais- ing industry has reached large pro- portions, and that crops are apt to suffer greatly. There is at this season of the year only a small supply of the fertilizer on hand in this country, he said.
 For the past three years Congress has made a small appro opriation an nuaily for the Agricultural Depart ment and the Geological Survey to in stitute a search for potash, and this year $2O,0O0 is being expended in drilling for such deposits. There is one source of potash supply within reach of American industry, howev- CT. that has never been fully tested on account of the keen German com petition. That is on the Pacific Coast. It has been found that the ash pro duced by the burning of kelp, a sea plant that is found in abundance from California to Alaska, five or sig feet below the surface of the water, is ex- tremely rich in potash. A dozen small companies for reaping this kelp have been formed in the past but thus far their efforts have attracted but little attention. It is believed by many in- terested in agriculturee that the con dftions created by the war have made an opportunity here for American capital both to find profitable invest ment and to benefit the American farmer to considerable extent next year.

COURT IS ASKED TO ENJOIN KENT
 POND IN WiLTON

An injunction restraining George Edward Kent owner of a, pond in Wilton, from longer maintaining the pond, was asked of the superior court this morning by County Health Officer George E. Hill, upon complaint of Wilton citizens and authorities that the pond is a breeding place for mos quitoes, and a nuisance.
 The history of the case as recited in the petition shows that on May 28 the town health officer of Wilton or dered on complaint of a citizen that the pond be gotten rid of. Ten days was given and an appeal to the coun- ty health officer resulted in an exten- sion of time until July 15 to abate the nuisance. It is alleged that the owner has failed to do so and the injunction is now asked.

Miss Cleveland and she lived but a few minutes after being lifted from the wreckage.
 The only one in the front seat who lived to be taken to the hospital was Frank Negry. His mother was hur- ried to the Norwalk hospital where he was taken. ! She hoped against hope for the life of her child, but when she arrived at the hospital, he was dying. He only lived a. few hours.
 Everywhere on the roadside were piled the dead and the dying. The res cUers worked with tears streaming down their faces as they exerted themselves in attempting, to extricate these children who had become the victims of circumstances
 The place where the wreck occurred Is lined with trees, and here is situ- ated one of the most dangerous triple curves on the Connecticut lines As the trolley crews rounded these curves their visions were obscured by the fo- hage of the trees until it was too late.

lished himself in that business in Bridgeport, where about ten years ago he purchased the shop of one Greene on Railroad avenue. He never chang ed the sign and 1t was in this way that those who knew him began to call him Greene" He later moved to Hawleyville,- ,-fbut business being bad he went to Newtown, where he picked up money repairing harnesses and making shoes.
 His habits were odd. in that he al- ways kept a light in the window and His door was never closed and he of ten befriended those who called upon him.
 In Germany he had been married, but never had any children. A brother followed him to this country and works upon a farm in Fairfield Another brother is a barber in New York city, and it is the son of this man whom he familiarly called My Boy'' upon visits to him in Hawley- vile The dead man was expecting to visit his brother in Fairfield when the crime was cd onnnitted. It is not be- lieved that he had any valuable pa pers which were coveted by any reia- tives, friends or secret society.
 Though passing interest in the case has somewhat eubsided, there is a deep undercurrent of opinion here which demands that the authorities clear up the case before it becomes cold. The fact that the state police men have not apparently been work ing on the case with the same eager ness as have the local authorities is subject for adverse comment here aa the deed was a. dastardly one and de- rnands precedence over lesser eases in other towns which 1t is understood the state police have been called to work IIpon

 The fact that the body of the dead authorities that those engag ged in the deed were either wary of touching the body for fear of soiling their hands, or fled precipitately.
 Two distinct marks in the soft ground of the garden, supposed to have been left by the murderer as he fled over the fields in the rear of the ter casts as a means of identifying the murderer.
 It is now remarked about the town that Corr, who always spent Satur- day afternoon in the Newtown Inn, convereing with his cronies, was not there last Saturday. and. for this req son it is believed that the murder was committed in broad daylight.
 Whether the crime was premeditat- ed in an attempt to get his supposed wea lt1l, whether it was the result of a sudden altercation over the German French war with some. customer who called to get his shoes, or whether it was the result Of some old feud, is not definitely established in the minds of the officers.
 It is known that he had several ac- who occasionally visited him in the establishment, but inVesti- gation by Sheriff Blakeman fails to reveal that they were in Newtown. on the day of the crime.
 Theodore Corr, a brother of the Newtown shoemaker, and his dupli- cate i'm looks, called upon the authori- ties late Monday afternoon, to claim the body, which he will have buried later. He was able to clear up much of the unknown history of the dead man, stating that he was born in the Province of Hesse, Germany, ST years ago. coming to this country about 35 years ago.
