WAS MRS. BAILEY MISTAKEN FOR
 " HAZEL EYES?''
Prosecutor Intimates Mrs Carman Killed Patient
 Through Mistake.
;Iy5ss1aS t1.9ssSa /

Mineola, L. l., May Was Mrs Louise Bailey. the Hampstead woman, shot to death in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman on the evening of June 3O, last, victim of mistaken identity?
 Was there woman known to Dr. Carman as Hazel Eyes," and who caused the person who fired the shot to become maddened by jealousy?
 Did Mrs Elnrence Conklin Carman, the dcctor's good-looking .xife, know Of the existence of "Hazel Eyes?'
 Louis I. Smith, district attorney of Nassau county, started forth this afternoon to find out.
 The jury selected, Smith started out in a hard, deliberate manner that presaged a restless fight to convict Mrs. Carman of the murder of Mrs Bailey
 In his opening address to the jury. Smith let it be known that on several points the testimony in the, second trial will lbe different. He declared he was prepared to show that the murder Of Mrs. Bailey occurred soon after o'clock in the evening, while it was yet daylight Jand before the street lamps were alight, and in that part of the dsk when any one cross ing the Carman laXn might be plain ly seen.
 He will produce witness who will swear she heard the shot but saw no one cross the lawn, ump the fence and escape after the shooting. He says he will seek to sweep away any suggestions that the murderer crossed the law either before or after the shooting. Then he will place Celia Coleman on the witness stand the negro girl will be asked to re- peat her sensational story

Fed Wood Pulp to Wounded.

A riot recently took place in Buda-
pest because of the discovery of a
scheme of a war contractor to feed
wax and wood pulp to wounded sol
in a hospital, according to a Budapest
newspaper.
"The riot says the paper in ques-
ton, was the outcome of an investi-
cation into charges against the man,
who obtained the contract to feed the
wounded soldiers at one of the tenn
porary hospitals established in the
spacious rooms and halls of the stock
exchange of Budapest.
"The inmates complained bitterly OF
the bad and insufficient food. The
board of health began an investigation,
and discoveries that wood pulp was
mixed with the -four used, and that
instead of eggs a powder containing
albumen was mixed with hard wax,
usually employed in polishing floors,
which was grated for the purpose
AS soon as the discovery became
known, the convalescent inmates at
tackled the contractor, who was res
cued with difficulty. The military au-
thorities insist that the contractor
should be tried by court martial. The
man at present is held by the civil
authorities

WHAT RUSSIANS WOULD LIKE
Military Feature of Control of Darda-
nelIes Doesn't Completely Cover
Her Dreams by Good Deal.

Under the caption, 'Russia's
Dreams" Harper's Weekly says: ITO
the Slavic mind the fall of Constan-
tinople will be the greatest military
event in centuries
Certainly, but the military feature
of control of the Dardanelles doesn't
completely cover Russia's dream by
good deal
Dream of a country whose popula-
ton has increased 80 per cent in 40
years, whose resources in human ne
cessities, such as fuel, food and build
ing material, are hardly approached by
any other country on earth-dream of
such country getting a fair chance
to compete for the worlds trade, and
you are getting somewhere near the
size of the Russian dream. Hundreds
of thousands of acres of finest timber
in one forest alone; unlimited oil
spouting from mere pricking of the
earth's crust; vast deposits of all sorts
of minerals that have hardly been
scratched; already leading the world
in production of cereals; labor at orr
entail prices; an army of 10000 0O
fighters who fight merely because or
dered to do so.
Do you dream of great Russian com
mercial fleets sailing the Mediterran
can in continuous procession? May
be the English, so-called 1.-THE nation Of
traders" are dreaming such things
Maybe the next mighty struggle vii
be between the two great allies whose
| gunboats now have designs on the OPP
posite ends of the Dardanelles pass
age. Stranger things have happened
| and, after all, trade largely makes VI

CLOGGED UP BY SEDIMENT
Flow of Water in City Mains Restrict
ed by Sedimentation and lncrusta-
ton Taking Place Within.

1t has only recently been observed
that the efficiency of the flow of water
in city's main is very much restrict
ed by the sedimentation which takes
place in them. Because of the slow
ness with which these deposits occur,
it is not readily noticeable, but the diff
ference is quickly discernible by MAX
ing note of the character of the stream
issuing therefrom before and after
cleaning. In the case of an eight-inch
main in Camden, n. j., the capacity was
found to have been cut down to less
than one-quarter. Another illustration
may be derived from the experience
of Belle PLANE, Ia. Here cast iron
water pipe nearly a mile long and six
inches in diameter had a capacity
when clean of 335 gallons a minute,
with a pressure of 60 pounds. This
pipe became so clogged that press
ure of 125 pounds was necessary in or
der to deliver 248 gallons a minute.
There are several mechanical means
of accomplishing this task. One con-
sists of a nine-foot device which is
placed in the pipe and sent along by
pressure behind it. and as it moves the
deposit is cut by the many revolving
knives of which it is made. A flow OF
water is maintained and the released
material is washed away as it is de
tached.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
SUPPORTS PRESIDENT
Pledges Heartiest Support in All Steps
to Uphold Honor and Interests
of Republic.

NEW ORLEANS, June y. = APP
pianding President Wilson for his
stand in the disagreement with Secre-
tary Bryan over the issue between the
United States and Germany, Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in a signed statement
received here last night from Breton
Island, La, pledged his support to the
President in all steps he may take to
uphold the honor and the interests of
the United States.
- According to Mr.. Bryan s state
ment,'' Col. Roosevelt says, 'he has
left the Cabinet because President
Wilson as regards the matters at issue
with Germany, refuses to follow the
precedent set in the 80 all-inclusive
arbitration commission treaties recent
ly negotiated, and declines TO suspend
action for a year while a neutral conf
mission investigates the admitted muir
der of American men, women and chill
dren on the high seas, and further de-
clines to forbid American citizens TO
travel on neutral ships in accordance
with the conditions guaranteed to us
bv Germany herself in solemn treaty.
sTOf course I heartily applaud the
decision Of the President; and in com
mon with all other Americans who are
| loyal to the traditions handed down
| by the men who served under Wash
| ington and by the others who followed
Grant and Lee in the days of Lincoln
| l pledge him my heartiest support in
all the steps he takes to uphold the
