WHITE PLAINS. n. T.. Dec. 1s.-Dis-

were busy to-day arranging additional
evidence to be presented to the Grand
Jury after the witnesses for Warden Os-
borne have been heard on Monday. The
Jurors will be unable to complete the
investigation this month because a ma
jority OF the members are determined
to investigate every phase of the life,
habits and conduct Of prisoners under
the present management Of Sing Sing.
They vii, try to fnd out hat truth
! is In the report of DR.. Diedling OF the
state Prison Commission which sets
| forth tina because OF the wardcn's
method OF conducting the prison the in
| mates have been exposed to felonious
assaults and serious felonies from the
| more viciously inclined Of their COM

cases of serious felony and advised
| others to conceal them from the District
Attorney Many OF the jurors are anx-
ious TO know whether crime has de-
creased In Sing Sing prison since the

ranging affdavits.
The grand jurors are going to dig
deeply. 1t Is said. into the statement
Of Warden Osborne hat immortality had
been prevalent In the prison before ne
became warden and that the cases were
not reported to the District Attorney.
Ia the petition which the warden He'd
in court he said II quote from n pre-
sentiment OF the Grand Jury OF West

Court on Jun 10. 1913:
"'Imm6ral practices obtain among
many Of the inmates. II is a condition
that ought not To exist and with mod
ern and proper methods OF prison con
:struction, providing for separate cells
and plenty out of door work, would not
exist. nde the former system there
had been little or no EFFORT TO punish
inmates for thiso offence"
Justice M~orschauser to-day received
the brief Of George Gordon Battle. In
which he seeks an order to compel tbs
District Attorney to file all the testi-
mony taken before the Grand jury and
the %afndavits which Assistant District
Attorney fallon charged In open court
were an attack OH the moral character
Of the warden. II Is understood, how

A Woman's Ostrich Farm.

In the About People, department of the NoVem-
Der Womans Home Companion appears an inter-
estng sketch of Mrs William Tracy who is said
to be the only woman ostrich farmer in the United
States. Following is extract from the article
about her:
Mrs. Tracy keeps about a hundred of the long
legged birds on alfalfa ranch at Buttonwiow
Cal, not only taking of them herself but also
supervising the preparation of their plumes for the
market 1t in 1907 that Mrs. Tracy, reading
that only four per cent of the ostrich feathers
used in this country of domestic production
decided to lay the foundations of her ranch by
importing a pair of well grown chicks from Ari-
They cost her $500, though similar pair
could be bought for from one hundred dol
lars to two hundred dollars and they weighed
three hundred pounds apiece the express bill add
ed ffty-fve dollars to the initial expense. But
she found little difficulty in rearing them in the
favorable climate of Kern county, the young birds
requiring about the same care as young chick
ems; and the flock increased the venture became
decidedly profitable Mrs Tracy says that acre
of alfalfa will keep four birds at an expense OF
ten dollars year each, while the return for feath-
alone is from twenty-five to fifty dollars per
bird. Adult birds about eight feet high, al
though the tallest stretch themselves to ten
feet when they wish to look particularly imposing
and they weigh from three hundred to four nun
dred and fifty pounds. Though the male bird is
rather vicious while standing guard his mate
and the nest during the forty days of incubation
he becomes quite docile soon as the chicks APP
pear and is an attentive husband and devoted
father. The eggs weigh over three pounds and
make good and plenteous omelets for those inclin-
ed to this expensive diet. The chicks weigh two
and three-quarter pounds when Matched, and grow
about foot a month, reaching their full height
in from six to eight months. Mrs. Tracy says that
she has found her work both profitable and pleas
ant, the ostrich is not too exacting bird and
is entertaining he is tall, being full of queer
antics airs and graces; and that there is lots OF
fun watching brood of the queer-looking, fast
growing, tWo-toed chicks tumbling about in the
bright California sunshine"

Billions From the Soil.

Government crop estimates may not be accurate,
but those included in its report just issued are
cheering, and especially when prices are taken
into account The value of the countrys major
crops is expressed in a string Of figures that to the
ordinary man mean riches beyond his comprehen-
sion They are comparable only to the huge debts
the belligerent nations are contracting in order
to carry the war.
ITO say the corn crop is worth $2,133 900 600"

seem small. Perhaps it will be possible to under
stand what that much money means when it is
said that it viii make scores of thousands of farm

and Injuries for them, pay mountains of debts,

say that the United States has a corn crop worth

The Zeppelin Raids.

The dispatches tell of another airship raid upon
London which resulted in large number of inno-
cent people being killed and injured
There must be something thrilling in the spec
tacle of a Zeppelin onslaught, when the upturned
ewes of Londoners focus upon a battery of the
huge instruments of death circulating over their
homes and public buildings, wondering where the
next bomb will fall and if they themselves will
be alive to tell the tale after it falls.
The Zeppelns have not played in this war the
terrible part which public imagination had as
signed them. They have done some material dam
age and have taken a good many lives mostly OF
innocent women and children, but so far Tangible
results are lacking and the great war vessels OF
the air are more of a bugbear than anything else.
After more than year of the war they have reach
ed London, their goal from the beginning, but
practically speaking their part in the conflict has
been nil.
Regarding the attacks on London we ind the
expression of this sentiment in the Saint Louis
Times:
Passengers arriving in New York tell the
first eyewitness story of the first German air
raid on London, which took place on the night
of September Sth. 1t is a horrifying story OF
the terrors of modern war, and its very thrill
is modern warfare's most scathng criticism.
Bombs fell in streets crowded with non-cOm-
batants and upon homes occupied by women
and children. There were bomb flashes in beau
tful gardens and upon the green's OF
hospitals. There flames from peaceful
cottages and crashes over inspiring towers.
There were all the things that transform a
world into a hell. And after all has been told
the reader wonders what was gained.
Nothing. Aerial warfare is tizzle. 1t has
been proved time and again. The bomb
thrower who rides about in an aircraft is as
great a menace to the world at large as the
sneak bomb-thrower who hurls his nitro-glyc-
crime at kings, capitalists and presidents.
Neither should have place in a society that
calls itself civilized. And the sooner the world
realizes this fact the better off the world
will be.
Aerial warfare is one of the modern things
of war that should be classed with the things
OF medieval barbarism.
The editorial is interesting and Illuminating be-
cause of the fact that the Saint Louis Times is
avowedly and aggressiyely pro-German, and has
not hesitated from the beginning to let the world
know where it's sympathies
But the Saint Louis paper is opposed to aerial
warfare, particularly demonstrated by the MUIR
derous Zeppelins and believe that in this it is
in absolute accord with civilization the world over.

Can Deliverance Be Expected?

Some basis for hope appears to exist that order
NAV finally come out of chaotic Mexico. This gov
eminent acting with the governments OF the lead
ing Latin-American nations, is ready to recog-
nize one of the warning Mexican factiOns-the one
which is believed to give the most promise OF
maintaining law and order below the Rio Grande'
and afford protection to the lives and property OF
foreigners.
For nearly five years now Mexico has been torn
from center to circumference by war and reyolu-
ton In that time the whirligg of fate has given
her three presidents, measureless suffering, meal
culable property loss, stagnation and general de-
moralizaton, and a bewhiskered old rooster whose
vanity causes him to style to himself the first
chief"
But the seIf-styled first chief" otherwise known
as General Carranza has shown some evidence OF
late that he has the ear of more of the Mexican
people than any of the other regolutionists, and
has managed to drive most of the bandit chiefs
into the cactus. Only Villa and zapata remain
to oppose him.
1t is this situation which has moved the Pan
American powers to say to Carranza that if, with
in a given time he take the territory now held
by Villa he will be recognized the constitutional
authority in Mexico and given assistance in rehabil-
itating that country.
