New York, May 7.-When Eliza beth Carman faced District Attorney Smith at the first trial of her mother for murder in September of last year one of the most remarkable surprises of the entire case ccurred. The spec tators in the crowded courtroom leaned forward for what was expected to be one of the supremely critical moments of the dramatic proceedings. To their amazement however, they heard MT. Smith inquire of the little girl-she was only thirteen then with solicitous kindness, Elizabeth, you love you love your mother very much don't you?'' "Yes sir. was the fervent 'reply. That is all" politely announced the prosecutor. The child remained in the witness chair per plexed. Doubt was written plainly on the faces of counsel for the defense. Astonishment swept through the courtroom. Then, a mment later came the general realization and ap- preciation of the most subtle touch of the whole trial All that the dis trlct attrney might have accomplish ed by a vigorous cross examination he had obtained, he believed by a single question. But when Elizabeth takes the stand at this trial she will undergo a different experience Other tactics will be used by the district at trney. Cunningly laid verbal traps will be spread before her. The prose cutor will try to wiring from her what he believes is the truth-namely, that Mrs. Carman was not up stairs in her room at the time Mrs. Bailey was shot on the night of June 30 last. as Elizabeth and Mrs. Ida Powell, a sis ter of the accused, swre in corrobo- ratln of Mrs. Carman's testimony.

 Mrs. Egli testified that her husband was an actor, and that she lives in Occum and lived in Willimantic in September, 1910.
 On the second day after the we'd ding, her husband stabbed her in the back with a small dagger. but the wound was slight one One day later when they were living with her hus- bands people at Occum, he fired a gun towards her. but did not hit her. Once he tied her to a bed and once he horse whipped her. At later time by their joint efforts they saved up $100 but he took this and went off with a stock company.

 Dates to Be Secured.
 The case of William Fl. Armstrong of this city against Ella Daniels Arm strong of Waterford, in which MT.

Armstrong. who has already secured a divorce from his first wife.
 The matter has been before the court before and postponed for more evil dence. Mrs Mary Card of Plaindeld, aged 73. was a witness Friday.

PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR.

1t has taken Great Britain more than
nine months to realize the Importance

erly ramify such an organ ization and
secure the right men for the right
places. This kind of preparedness. il
accomplished two years ago. would
have awaited England far more than
her big navy and. in fact. might have
prevented war altogether. for it is not
unlikely that this appropriateness was
known in Berlin and properly rated as
an effectual handicap before war WAS
brought about.
Every true American is hoping that
our great nation viii be kept from war.
but is ready to face ii with all its con-
sequences if II must come In the
early days of last August We congratu-
lated ourselves that our geographic
isolation and freedom from entangling
alliances seemed to be 4 complete safe
guard during the present European
struggle But the possibility of being
drawn in throu@h the aggression OF
others must not lac overlooked. and il

PINK CLOVER is SPREADING

, hay made by this clover consists of
leaves Farmers cut alsike for hay
when it is in full bloom. and it is said
to be pound for pound more nutritious
than red clover. The men who know
all about this plant say that it is
eagerly eaten by all farm animals. but
that cattle and sheep should not be
turned into field of it when the clover
is wet with dew or rain or when they
are very hungry, as bloatin will be
likely to occur. Commercial American
grown seed of alsike clover Is mainly
produced in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio,
Minnesota anu Ontario SO. when you
notice on your way to and from Office
clover which is apparently white clo-
yer, yet the flower heads of which are
tinged with pink, or actually pink, you
will know that this is alSike clover, or,
as the botanists cali it, Trifolium by
bridum.
The white clover with which every
body in the United States is familiar
introduced into this country. where it
has spread until now 1t occurs natu-
rally probably in every state in the
Union and grows luxuriantly in and
plant industry has said that white
clover is frequently used with success
on the fair green's of golf links in
mixtures with the true grasses and
even on the putting green's it may be
used with fair success. especially under
conditions where the ordinary turf
grasses cannot he used, with success.
Most persons do not know that there
are two varieties of red clover, one
called 'ordinary, or medium red.
and the other mammoth red clover.
The latter variety is ais" known TO the
people Of the countr! as 'saplirg.
giant" pea vine or "soling clover.
Red clover is considered commercial
crop throughout the northeastern quar-
ter of the United States, far west as
central Kansas in the Rocky mount ia,
region and in the Pacific northwest.
though during the past ten years the
acreage in successful stands of un-
mixed red clover in the United States
has materially decreased. This is at
tributed to a variety of causes, the
most important of which is believed
to be depletion of the humus content
of the soil and acidity of the soil.
In fields around Washington one will
sometimes come across patches of bril-
liant crimson flower heads, which to
the uninitiated somewhat resemble
clover, but are so handsome that arm
fuls of them will be gathered to carry
home for bouquet or other decorative
purposes. This crimson or scarlet
clover is called German clover. French
clover, Italian clover. Egyptian clover
and carnation clover. 1t is native of
southern Europe. and is grown extern
sively in southern and western Europe,
and is gaining in popularity in the
United States. where 1t has been proved
to be especially adapted to the lighter
sandy soils of the eastern states, where
the winters are not too severe.
