The evidence shows the crime was committed leisurely
What other conclusion can be drawn from the fact that
the body was found not in the water but among the
bushes on the river bank, other than that the yengetul
murderers took their victim to the thicket to torture
Apparently they wished the mutilated body to be
foundL They desired concealment only that they might
infict death slowly and painfully.
In this thicket, concealed from view, perhaps for hours
they hacked and slashed the young w~orkingman with
knives, varying the brutal torture as their fancy dictated
by %oattering him about the head and shoulders with
rocks until at last their thirst for vengeance was sati.

What more conclusive proof of torture could a jury

Bread Line on Broadway
With Hot Coffee for Al
Who Ask Is N. Y. Plan

New York, Feb. GA bread line in
the heart Of New YoYrks white light
and lobster district is the latest and
most unexpected development here in
the effort to furnish food to the hun
CRY. While bread lines have existed
in the lower east side for many years,
it is stated that this is the first one
which has ever been established in that
part of the city in which money is most
lavishly spent
The bread line will form at the door
of one of the city's most noted Broad
way hotels, and anyone who cares to
ask may receive hot coffee with milk
and sugar, shot frankfurters and rolls,
or corn beef with bread. The only stip-
ulation is that nothing must be carried
away The reason for the establish
ment Of this unique bread line is ex-
planned by the proprietor Of the hotel
as follows:
"On one of the recent rainy days,
when it was impossible to be out Of
doors with any degree of comfort with
out a full stomach and warm clothes, I
met a man I have known for 20 years.
He possesses business and personal
qualifications that I know gave him
good living up to a few months ago.
He was flat broke and / suspected he
was hungry. He was. But he was
brave and tried to be cheerful
A sign reading Good Luck and We'll
come. Better Times Are Coming" will
greet all who apply for food al the door
of the same hotel in which dinners run
ming into many thousands of dollars
are of such frequent occurrence as to
cause no comment.

Vacant Lots of New York
To Be CuZtiDated TO Cut
the High Price Of Food

New York. Feb. 6.-Plans are now IN
der way here to make New York a
farming community, with plentiful
crops growing in its most thickly pop
ulated districts. Every available va
cant lot, no matter where it is located
is to be made a possible place for plant
ing in the spring, according to the an
nOuncement just made by the organiza-
ton which has for its purpose the util-
ization OF vacant spaces for the pro-
duction of food.
This organization proposes to start
a search at once for all available lots
no matter how small these may be, not
only in New York, but in its outlying
sections. After enough vacant lots for
use throughout the season have been
obtained, this remarkable movement
proposes to furnish garden seeds and
tools, together with carfare to and from
the plots to the residents of the poorer
districts of the city. in order to give
them an opportunity to produce food
for themselves.
As a matter of fact. the movement
may become nationwide in scope. since
the persons behind 1t believe that the
idle land of the country offers a chance
to put to work every man who at pres
ent is out Of employment

adjoining the city. 1t NAV be men
toned also that during the year the
government has spent here in supplies
considerably more than $1,000 900;
while the monthly pay roll of Fort

Among the new buildings shortly to be

Demand for Lands.
Another index to the aliveness of Ell

lying in the valleys above and below

miles wide with a shore line of 200
miles and an average depth of IS feet
Here the flood waters of the Rio
Grande will be stored, to be used as
needed for irrigation during the grow
ing seasons.
This reduces agriculture IN these
valleys to a simple rule of three-the
number Of acres planted, the planting
OF the seed and attention to watering
the growing crop. The farmer who
1rrigates makes his own weather. The
