Seven Others of City's 246
Murderers Killed by
Police.
INCREASE,
WOODS REPORTS
Greater Activity Against Traffic
Offenders and More COnvic-
tons for Crime in Year.

Twenty-seven Of the 246 perpetrators
Of murders In New York during 1915
saved the state thousands Of dollars
in trial expenses by committing sui
eide, according to a report made yes
terday by Police Commissioner Woods
to Mayor Mitchell
The state was also spared the
trouble OF trying seven other muir
dercrs who were killed by policemen
In attempting TO escape The police
made 156 arrests in the 246 homicide
cases, but ffty-six slayers are still at
large. The report does not show the
percentage of convictions OH the homi-
eide arrests made.
The Increased activity against yio-
lators OF traffic regulations, partlcu-
larly automobile speeders, resulted IN
an increase in the number OF arrests
and convictions. The report shows also
an increase IN the arrests in felony
cases, 1915 showing 23,62s. ms against
23,17t in 1914. The total number or
feloniss reported was 1904, which
shows that IS ,&06 felons escaped arrest.
In the 1888 misdemeanors com.
mltte0, the pOllce hffeSttu iVoio@V VA
the offendersl 1908 children under six
teen years of age ran afoul Of the law
and were arrested for various offences,
and b0,679 committed minor offences,
for which they were taken to court on
summons. Unfortunate enough to be
witnesses Of various crimes, BOB per-
sons were detained By the police.
High Record Of Convictions.
During 1915 16lI2i persons were
convicted, or 1894 per cent OF those
whose cases were disposed OF, the Com
missioner states. This is the highest
record of convictions ever obtained By
this department. In 1911! the percent
age was 1856, in 1913 it was 1887 and
in 1912 7l.52'
The report shows there were 81
fewer shootings in 1915 than in the
preceding year, the figures being % IN
1915. as against 1914 in 1914. But the
wielders OF knives got four more vic
Tins than in 1914. that year only AZ be
ing stabbed, as against 46 in 1915. The
users of backjscks and other blunt in
struments attacked IS persons, an in

CARRANZA TROOPS,
STARVING, REBEL
Refuse TO Pursue Villa for Eight
Cents a Day-Bandits Sur
round Chihuahua.
[nr telegraph 70 n. Tribune J

FL Paso, Texas, Feb. S.-Carranzs
soldiers in chihuahua City who are
being paid two pesos in Carranza cur
rency day, equal TO eight cents In
American money. are threatening revolt
and absolutely refuse TO go in pursuit
Of Villa and his bandits.
Arrivals from chihuahua City o-day
saw conditions in Chihuahua are much
worse than they ever have been before
and that about one hundred foreigners
there are preparing TO get to the Dor
der as quickly as possible.
The Carranza troops in Chihuahua
are less than 500 strong and are slowly
starving. Out Of their eight cents pay
they are required to supply themselves
with food and clothing, and each Next
can soldier has a family. The soldiers
are practically in revolt and have re
fused to obey the orders Of the com
manders.
Villa bandits are all around Chihua-
hua, to-day's arrivals say, and the city
could be easily taken. Villa with more
than 500 men was to-day reported
within twenty miles Of Chihuahua City
and moving upon that point. Under
his orders are dozen smaller bands,
all said to be drawing a circle around
the capital.
A Mexican who arrived from MADEIRA

thing is something else. There is a
lot of money and securities locked up
in the NiQuoia bank vault. We've come

Where Too Many Limbs Are

Remove Rank Limbs.

From time to time during the sum-
her go over young trees to guide their
growth. If too many limbs are start
Ing from given point, they may be
thinned to the required number. II a
rank limb tends to fill the center or
cross other limbs, it may be removed.
II the strongest limbs all grow In the
same direction, thus giving a one-sided
tree, they may be pinched back, thus
encouraging other limbs to start on
the opposite side to balance the frame
work of the tree. In the case Of up
right growing varieties, particularly,
the main limbs often tend to grow
straight upward instead OF spreading.
In such cases the tips of these upright
limbs may be pinched back. This will
induce side limbs to grow outward.

A good sanitary water supply is nee
essary on every farm. Where springs
and running water are not present 1t
Is necessary to rely on wells and a
tank big enough to hold three or four
days supply. Concrete is good ma
terial for such tanks. 1t is easy to
handle, can be made in any shape or
size, and is easily waterproofed. The
sand and gravel necessary for con-
structing the tank are often found on
the farm, and if such is the case, the
cost of constructing is materially re-
duced.
A good mixture for concrete tanks
is one part cement, two parts sand and
four parts broken stone or gravel. If
neither gravel nor broken stone can
be obtained, mixture of one part ce-
ment and three parts of coarse sand
can be used. The cement and aggre-
gate should be thoroughly mixed and
the resulting mixture well stamped or
spaded when placed in the forms. Aft
er removing the forms the sides of the
tank may be flushed with a mixture of
cement and water to smooth up any
little irregularities.
Reinforcing Material.
Heavy woven wire fencing may be
used to reinforce the tank. Lap the
ends of the reinforcing at least six
inches. The reinforcing for the walls
should be placed near the outer side
and well covered with concrete.
1t is preferable to have the forms of |
green lumber. If seasoned lumber is |
used, it should be dampened with wa
ter before the concrete is poured into |
