fore 1t reached William H. Latham.
to whom 1t was addressed. Is the
cause of a divorce suit brought In the
supreme court by Mrs. Latham
against her husband, who is a public
accountant. Latham told Justice
Gavegan that he was out of employ
ment, but he was directed to pay $12
a week alimony and 800 counsel fee.
Mrs. Latham, who now lives at

hand from Los Angeles. The letter
was signed "Kiddo." It informed
Latham that the writer would be in
New York in about ten days and
asked him to help her "get settled"
Mrs. Latham consulted her sister,
Mrs. Mae Stone. The sisters hus-
band, Edward Stone, engaged detec-
tives to keep watch Of Latham at
about the time "Kiddo" was expected
to arrive. The detective saw Latham
meet the woman on February % and
followed him to an apartment at 100
West Eighty-fourth street. They
then notified Stone, who is an ac-
countant, and Mrs. Latham's brother.
jeremiah S. Milford, a bank teller,
and the apartment occupied by the
couple was raided.
The raiders said they found
Latham and the correspondent. Lath-
am was hiding behind the door, but
when he heard the detectives tell the
witnesses to take careful note Of
what they saw, he said: We'll, you
caught me with the goods. You
won't have to make note about my
appearance" One of the detectives
said he knew the woman as Mrs.
Page.

Drug Victims Get Their Dope"
Delivered in Hollow Necktie,
Cigarettes and Even Perfume

HOUSTON, Tex, April 1.-.Methods
by which men and women OF restricted
district obtain opium, cocaine, NOR
Dhine and other narcotics in violation
OF the Harrison act, were revealed
when the case of G. s. Maliard, for
merly manager OF drug store, was
put on trial before Judge Waller T..
Burns in the federal court here.
Records Of the drug store. situated
on the border line OF the restricted
district, show that in period of q
little over two months, after the law
went into effect there had been filled
there 1861 prescriptions OF which L.
528 were for narcotics.
In many instances federal officers
on tracing down the prescriptions
found that the addresses given in them
were vacant lots, or that there was
no such party as that named in the
prescription residing at the address
given.
: dugh II. Manning, colored, who
worked at the drug store, told of the
various schemes to conceal tho sale
and delivery OF dope
ltuses to Evade Officers.
A customer, he said, would call UP
and ask to have some "cigarets" sent
over. A package supposed to con-
tain icigarets, but which In reality
contained morphine, and the charges
on which were fifty cents, would be
sent.
Again at another time. he said, a
man came into the store and asked
for Lake Forest" perfume. He told
the man that they had none in stock.
but he said, Mallard came UP, and az
ter pouring a little perfume in the
bottle, filled 1t with a morphine pre-
scription.
At another time. he said, when he
had complained Of being afraid to de-
liver packages Of narcotics to houses
In the restricted district because of
the police, they" bought him wide
tie with hollow center and when he
was to deliver package he would
put the dope" in the tie and take 1t
to its destination.

Accused Doctor Explains.
When the cases were called in the
federal court, DIR. Rather pleaded
guilty, and the case against Mrs. Boyd
was dismissed by District Attorney
Green, largely owing to the fact that
she Is the mother of a weeks old
baby. Mallard alone entered a plea OF
not guilty, and his trial was under
taken at once. When DR.. Rather was
arraigned he was much broken.
Guilty or not guilty?" asked Judge
Burns, as Dr.. Rather came before the
bar. Guilty" answered DR.. Rather.
'All over or Just in spots?" asked
the court.
The defendant did not understand.
and the court stated his question in an
other form. Are you much guilty or
little guilty." he asked.
Little guilty, guess" answered
DIR. Rather.

Burns then asked.
"Sixty-slx," was the reply.

APPENDIX
OF a Young Woman Of Califor-
MIA Found by Doctors to
Contain Pin.

REDDlNG, Calf, April 1.-Rushed
to the hospital for an operation for
acute appendicitis, Mrs. Robert Frs
kline, Of Shasta, was found to have
been carrying an ordinary pin IN her
appendix for ten years. The physician
also found worm in the appendix.
The combination of the two had so
irritated the organ that It was about
to burst, and Mrs. Erskine narrowly
missed death.
Mrs. Erskine, who is 20 years old,
said that she remembered swallowing
a pin when she was ten years old.
The pin never caused her any pain
until months ago when she began to
suffer.

Plans for School Gardens

and covered not more than one-half
inch with earth. Firm the earth well
over the seeds, SO as to bring the
moist soil in contact with them.
When the plants are well up, thin
to six inches apart in the row. II
the seeds were sown in a window
box, hotbed, frame, or greenhouse,
transplant the young plants two by
two inches apart as soon as the seed
leaves are well expanded, and when
they begin to crowd transfer them to
their permanent places in the open,
II the weather will permit. In the
field, they should stand at least six
inches apart each way.
Plant in the Open.
Beans.-It Is best to wait and plant
the seeds Of this plant in the open
where the plants are to grow, delay
ing the work until severe frosts are
past. Plant in rows one foot apart,
placing the seeds about two inches
deep at intervals Of six inches. Keep
the soil loose and free from weeds.
Beets.-Beets, while they are
hardy and can be planted at the same
time as radishes and lettuce, are
placed as indicated in the planting
plan because they require longer sea-
son for maturing than lettuce,
radishes and beans. The seeds
should be planted in rows one foot
apart, placed an inch apart in the
row and covered one inch deep. When
the plants are well up 1.-TWO inches
high), thin to four inches apart in
the row. Keep the soil well titled
at all times.
Tomatoes.-The tomato is the most
exacting Of all the plants included in
the collection. From Washington
southwark the seeds may be planted
in the open at the same time US
beans. but to the north of this point
the seeds should be sown in boxes,
hotbeds, or greenhouses from the
first to the middle Of March, the
young plants being transplanted to
stand two by two inches apart as soon
as the first true leaves appear. When
they begin to crowd in their new po-
sitions, shift them to four inch pots
or to tin cans in which canned vege-
tables have been received. II tin

is to melt the top and bottom of,
which will usually also unsolder the
seam at the side. By tying a string
around the rim thus formed and
placing single under the can it
can be filled with soil and the young
plant placed in this respect. Keep
the plants growing slowly until about
May 20 to June /, when it will be
safe to place them in their permanent
locations in the garden. Set the
plants in rows eighteen inches apart
and place the plants about twenty
inches apart in the rows, as indi-
Gated by crosses on the diagram,
figure one. Each plant as 1t grows
should have all side branches re-
moved and the main stem tied to a
stout stake. about five feet tall and
at least an inch square, driven firmly
in the ground.
Flowering plants which are espec-
tally recommended to amateur school
gardeners are the ageratum. nasturt-
ium, petunia, the California poppy,
and the zinnia. Culture instructions
for these plants, may also be obtained
from Farmers Bulletin 218, which
will be sent on request.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-speci-
alists In the United States Department
Of Agriculture have planned two
specimen individual gardens five by
sixteen and one-half feet for use in
schools. One of these Is for vege-
tables alone and the other for both
vegetables and flowers. The average
pupil. 1t has been found, shows a
much keener interest in garden Of
his own than In one owned in common
by all the school. Individual gardens
stimulate pride in ownership and the
work Of caring for them encourages
system, skill and judgment. Partict
patton In the care Of community
garden does not develop the idea Of
individual responsibility and conse-
quently interest and industry are
usually lacking.
The limited area usually available
for school garden work makes 1t i'm
perative that tall-growing, broad
leaved, and climbing plants must be
excluded. Radishes, lettuce, beans,
beets, tomatoes. and other plants
which grow in a compact brush form
are recommended for school garden
work.
First Plan.
In the first plan recommended by
the government specialists, the rows
run the short way Of the garden, and
with the exception OF tomatoes are all
q foot apart. Tomatoes are planted
eighteen to twenty inches apart, thus
giving more room for the plants to
spread than would otherwise be
occurred. In order to make the fullest
use of the area rotation of crops
has been arranged. In the ac-
companying diagram 1t will be noted
that the quick maturing crops are
planted in groups, which provides a
considerable area for replanting as
soon as the crops mature. A bracket
encloses the names OF such crops, and
those which are to follow are indi-
Gated by the names outside the
bracket.
The second garden is Of the same
area as the vegetable garden. The
rows are one foot apart, with the ex-
ception of radishes, which are six
inches. The plants are grouped &C.
cording to height of growth SO as to
place the tall growing plants in the
center of the garden, with low grow:
ing plants at the end. In this case
it will be noted that tomatoes are
used only as a succession or rotation
crop following radishes and lettuce.
The children should be allowed to
do all the work of preparing the land
as well as planting the seed and car
ing for the plants. This can be &C
companied by instruction in soil
physics, the teacher explaining the
reason for each step. The methods
of planting and cultivating the vege-
tables in the garden are described In
Farmers Bulletin 21S in part as fol-
lows:
Radishes.-The seeds should be
sown in drills, in rich. well prepared
soil, placed about half an inch apart
and buried not deeper than one inch.
When the plants are showing the sec
ond set Of true leaves they should be
thinned to stand from one to two
inches apart in the row.
Lettucc.-The seeds should be
sown in drills in the open or in
boxes in the window. II in the open.
the seeds should be scattered about
one-half inch apart along the row,

Correspondence Of Associated Press0
LONDON, April 1.-The recent sharp
debate in Parliament between the first
lord of the admiralty, Mr.. Balfour,
and his predecessor in that position,
Winston Churchill, as to whether cap
ital ships were being fastened to COM
pletion with sufficient rapidity to meet
the menace OF the German building
program, was obscured by the neces-
sary reserve in referring to the actual
details of capital ships, so that few
outside OF the naval experts UNDER
stood the bearings of the remarks
made by the admiralty chiefs.
There Is much information avail
able, however, which explains the sta

ton is official and semi-official, open
to the public, and therefore not with

that the new capital ships, upon which
the debate hinged, stood about like

guns, as against the guns previously

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April ALBERT
Bond Lambert, of st. Louis. head of

to the government by Chicago.
Immediately after the Mexican. ex-
petition was projected Mr.. Lambert
telegraphed to Senator Stone Of Miss
ouri recommending that bill to call
out the reserve corps Of flyers and
appropriating 100000 for mobilization
Of aviators and co-ordinating elements
be introduced in Congress. The war
department is powerless to take action
in the matter without the sanction Of
Congress.
"Our actions are not in anticipation
of war;" Mr.. Lambert said. "but for
protection OF the troops now on the
Mexican border. The army should
have at least one aeroplane for every
200 men. The present aim is to get
Congress to call for the mobilization
of the reserve corps to Chicago, where
field OF $40 acres has been offered
free to the government for this pur-
pose. From the Chicago camp. the
army field at San Antonio would be
supplied. This concentration would
offer the army its choice OF men for
first line work."
Mr.. Lambert declared that aeroplane
exports to Europe average about $685.

difficulty with Mexico" he said, "the
government probably would be COM
PEELED to hold up these shipments for
its own use.
"Aeroplanes are useless, however,
without men who understand them.
This lack of preparedness in army
aeronautics is illustrated in the ma
tional guard. Only two states, New
York and Rhode Island, have given
aviation service any attention.

Of the militia be detailed to an aviation

and that it is necessary to wait for

would be almost entirely without pro-
lection. unless some arrangement is
made by which the civilian reserve
corps can be utilized"

CARELESS MAILING.

WASHINGTON, April 1-Reports
continue to reach the department OF
commerce from consular officials
abroad that business men of the
United States exercise little care In
mailing letters and catalogues to for

plant is that American domestic
postage rates are applied to this for
eign mail and as result the foreign
recipients have to pay not only tho
delinquent postage but a penalty as
well. Improper addressing OF let
