CAN INVESTIGATE
QUALITY OF SEEDS ]
State Pure Seed Law Permits the
State Botanist to Make Sure
. of Seed Quality.

The state pure law. authorizes the
botaniSt and state seed commissioner
to investigate the quality of the
seeds grown by any grower in the
state of North Dakota and when he
has satisfied himself as to the quality
to make a list of the names of such
growers and show the amount or
seed which they have on hand as
seed Tor sale for sowing purposes.
This list is sent to any person who
wishes to buy such seeds. This, in
theory, should aid wholesale seed
houses in the state to procure good
stock of seed and should aid any 9TH
er buyers or growers to locate good
seed. T
The office at the pure seed labora-
tory has no interest in prices for
which seeds are bought and sold That
rests with the grower and the buyer
of the seed. From the above state
ment, it must be evident that unless
those who have grown seed of high
quality submit it to the laboratory
for purity and termination tests and
furnish the facts regarding the
amount on hand at an early date, etc,
:hat the state seed commissioner
cannot make a list of such seeds
early enough in the season to be OF
Of great advantage to the grower or
To the man who wishes to buy for
planting purposes or for sale and fur.
ther distribution.
In past years the laboratory has
lisEcd something over hundred
thousand bushels OF good seed each
year and we have had many letters
from the grower, indicating their sue
cess in selling through the list and
many congratulatOry letters from
buyers regarding the system. 1t is
thus evident that the laboratory. in
association with its summer field in
spection, is working out a valuable
system OF finding good home grown
seed.
| would particularly call attention
OF the growers that they should send
IN their seeds as early as possible in

MAIDS ILLNESS DELAYS
SUIT AGAINST WOMAN
Miss Hambright Unable to APP
pear to Press Assault
Charge.

Illness of Miss Ruth Hambright, the
Continental Hotel maid who accuses Mrs.
George II. Jackson of having attacked
her there, today resulted in the post
ponement of the hearing of the charges.
A warrant for Mrs. Jackson's arrest was
sworn out and the hearing before Magis-
trate Harrigan was set for yesterday.
says, from the injuries received during
the attack at the hotel, prevented the
hearing yesterday and again postponed
1t this morning
Miss Hambright, who lives at 5114 Lud-
low street, was attacked while she was
cleaning Mrs. Jackson's room Friday
morning, she charges. She was taken
to a hospital on the advice of DR.. Will
liam Richman, the hotel physician, after
porters and other maids had rescued her,
according to her story.
Miss Hambright has said she would sue
Mrs. Jackson for $1,000 damages in ad-
dtion to prosecuting her for assault. A
warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Jackson
was issued yesterday, but Miss Ham
bright was too i'll to attend n hearing.
The warrant was served this morning.
According to the story of Gustave Hey
mann and Edward Kuhn, two guests at
help coming from Mrs. Jackson's room
short time after the Hambright girl
had entered it Friday morning. Neither
was dressed, but they telephoned to the
office, and Samuel Moran, clerk, with
two porters and maid, hurried in an
elevator to the Jackson suite. On enter
ing they found Miss Hambright PROSTATE
acress the bathtub and Mrs Jackson
pummeling her and pulling her hair, they
said.
Miss Hambright was freed and taken
downstairs, where Doctor Richman said
she must be treated at a hospital. A
short time later she was taken to the
Jefferson Hospital, where it was found
she had suffered severe bruises and was
in a serious condition from shock Later
she insisted on being taken to her home.
She remained in bed for three days, gain
ing strength gradually. and determined
to prosecute Mrs. Jackson. According to
Miss Hambright Mrs. Jackson was
known to all the employees as a woman
with violent temper. Miss Hambright
tried to avoid attending her. but could
not escape the assignment, she says.

SCHOOL CHILDREN AID
BOY IN DIRE DISTRESS
Eagerly Join in Effort to Iden-
tify Austin McCleary, Lost
in New York.

Every boy and girl in Philadelphia's
public schols has been asked to serve
as a detective in an effort to restore to his
home a four-year-od, flaXen-haired boy,
who was found last September by a po-
liceman on the steps of St Patricks
Cathedral in New York
The child, who appears to be unusually
bright, says his home is in this city and
that his name is Austin McCleary. Dill
gent search on the part of the PhiladcI-
phia and New York police has failed to
reveal his address or to determine
whether the name he gave is correct.
Walter p. Walker Manhattan lawyer,
has Interested himself in the little fell
low. Walker has engaged John NJ.
Mitcheson, an attorney with offices in the
Stock Exchange Building, to represent
him in this city.
Walker and Mitcheson having exerted
every other possible means of finding the
child's parents. they have enlisted an
army of 100000 school children in the
work. 1t is their belief that the boy may
at some time have been a resident of
Philadelphia.
With this idea in mind, the public school
authorities have permitted pictures of the
lad with an accompanying description to
be hung in every classroom.

BLOCKADE OF CTTY'S
TENDERLOTN Is BEGUN
Ten Extra Bluecoats Will Keep
Watch for Gamblers and
Other Lawbreakers.

A new blockade Of the tenderloin was
Instituted today by Police Captain Tenn
pest, who threw ten bluecoats from
various districts into his division in the
tenderloin to establish a quarantine on
suspected disreputable and gambling
houses. Raids may be made at any mo-
ment, according to the police.
The movement today Is similar to that
ordered by Director Porter more than
year ago, when more than hundred po-
hcemen were installed throughout the
tenderloin in addition to the regular pa
troll force with orders to arrest habitues
of the district who attempted to get into
suspected disortlerly houses.
Three steps have been taken by Super
intendent of Police Robinson to prevent
the reopening of gambling houses Lieu
tenant Harry L. Myers. of the 18th and
Locust streets station. and Lieutenant
William Dinlocker, of the goth and But
tonwood streets station. have been trans
ferred and Special Policemen O'Brien and
Crook have been sent to the 9TH and Car
penter streets station from 18th and But
tonwood streets in exchange for Special
Policemen Gold and Selby.
Captain Tempest said today the trans
fer of the lieutenants is no reflection on
them. He declared It was due to the
idea that new men in the district, not
known to the gamblers might have n
better chance of ferreting out their
resorts.
"A quarantine has been placed on vari-
Gus cigar stores in the tenderloin and
outlying districts suspected of being
resorts for bookmakers who take bets on
the winter races.

Susan NJ. Wehlers, of New Haven who
claims relations with the millionaire.
The father Of Lillian NJ Cook, of Brook
lyn, Mayos stenographer, who killed her
self last week, today was satisfied that
the body buried last Tuesday was really
that of his daughter.

BEATON Is NAMED
CENTRAL MAGISTRATE

Fill Renshaw Vacancy at
City Hall Station. y

Mayor Blankenburg today named Mag
istrate William f. Beaton to serve as
committing Magistrate at the central po-
lice station at City Hall. He will begin
his duties April 1. He will fill the va

by Mayor Blankcnburg in January, 1914,
the Supreme Court declared illegal.
Magistrate Beaton, who resides in the
18th Ward, with an office on 18th street
near Vine, has been identified for the
last few years with the Washington
party. He was elected Magistrate in
1910 on the Republican ticket.
The Mayor suggested that Magistrate
Carson. the present committing Magis-
trate in the night police court at City
Hall, and Magistrate Beaton confer and
decide which shall conduct the day hear
ings. 1t is the Mayors opinion that the
Magistrates should sit in the night court
on alternate weeks.
Charles Seger, chairman of Councils
Subcommittee on Appropriations, has an
nounCed that he would introduce a bill
in Councils to reimburse Renshaw for
his services. Mr.. Renshaw consequently
sent to Councils Finance Committee a
bill for $2S3l.99, representing the amount
that would be due him at $500 n year,
and which Mr. Seger has declared to be
a moral obligation" on Councils.
