Greene Street and 500 West Twenty
third Street. valued at about half n
million dollars. The defendant in the
action, Mrs. Maude Kissam Babcock,

I'LL, HE WATCHES
3 MEN KILL ONE
From Bellevue Sees Muir
derers Drown Victim
i'm River.

John OToughlin, patient in Belle
vue Hospital, sat on a balcony over
looking the East River early yesterday
morning and watched three men COM
NIT a murder. 1t was just at dawn.
Now and then sloop or a string of
barges slipped past to catch the first
of the tide. On the streets all was
quiet. The occasional rumble of the
elevated accentuated the metropolitan
solitude which comes between the milk
and the o'clock whistle.
The only human being within oLough-
Inns view was a man who sat alone on
the end of pier at Thirtieth Street.
OLoughlin watched the solitary figure
with the aimless curiosity of an in
valid.
Three more men suddenly appeared.
OLoughlin did not hear their footsteps
nor see their approach. When his eyes
focused upon them they were crouch
ing behind the motionless figure that
still gazed over the river. With one
hCCOTu lNey SpldHB uPOH HiAH' iiNSN"
feet above the oily, mist-wreathed cur
rent the four men struggled fiercely
on the very edge of the pier.
For an instant the river gazer flung
off his assailants and stood poised as
if looking for a refuge. One of the
three, a giant in stature, stopped swift
ly and grasped his ankles. With a
mighty heave he swung his burden far
out and let it fall into the river. One
of his companions picked up something
that lay on the pier, flung it over his
arm, and the three walked off.
Apparently they went straight to 3l9
Avenue A, the home of James Hart, the
man they had drowned. Before Hart's
body had been recovered or his wife
knew of his death three strangers
knocked at her door.
"Here," said one of them, extending
some clothing that lay folded across
his arm, this is your husbands coat
and shirt He had an accident and
was drowned"
They made off without answering her
questions, and a few hours later the
police informed her that her husbands
body had been recovered.

Efforts to supplant the haphazard
street naming process applied to

In Signing Measure Says
II Ends Disadvantages
Farmers Suffered.
PROVIDES EQUALITY
WITH BUSINESS MEN
Gives Them Freedom to Get
Loans on Real Estate Held
by Them.

Washington. July 17.-President Will
son to-day signed the rural credits bill
passed recently by Congress. A group
Of Senators, Representatives and Off
GERS Of farmers organizations applaud
ed warmly as Mr.. Wilson affixed his
signature.
Just before signing the measure
which creates system of twelve land
loan banks under direction of Fed
eral board, the President said:
at is a feeling not only Of profound
satisfaction. but of real gratitude, that
we have completed this piece of legis-
iation. which ! hope will be immensely
beneficial to the farmers of the coun-
try. The farmers, il seems TO me, have
occupied hitherto a singular position
of disadvantage. They have not had
the same freedom 10 get credit on their
real estate that others have had who
were in manufacturing and commercial
enterprises, and while they have sus-
tained our life they did not, in the
same degree with some others, share IN
the benefits of that life.
Therefore, this bill, along with the
very liberal provisions of the Federal
Reserve act, puts them upon an equal
ity with all others who have genuine
assets and makes the great credit OF
the country available TO them. One
cannot but feel that this is delayed
Justice 10 them, and cannot but feel
that it is a very gratifying thing 10
play any part in doing this act OF
Justice. / look forward to the benefits
of this bill, not with extravagant ex-
pectations, but with confident eXpec-
tation that il will be Of very wide
reaching benefits, and incidentally will
be of advantage to the investing COM
munity. for | can imagine no more sat
isfactory and solid investments than
this system will afford those who have
money 10 use.
Secretary McAdoo conferred with the
President later on the selection or
members Of the new Farm Loan Board,
who will be appointed in the near nut
ure.
Among those understood to be under
consideration for membership on the
board are Herbert Quick, W. W. Flan-
nagan, secretary of the joint Congress
sional Committee on Rural Credits; r.
] II. Won Engelken, of Florida; Z. B.
Kegley, of Washington State; b. Nj.
Raiston and L. B. Clore, of Indiana; j.
/. Coulter. of West Virginia, and II. A.
Moehlentah, of Wisconsin. Secretary
McAdoo is an eX-ofiicio member, and
four will be appointed by the President.
New York and Pennsylvania, accord
ing TO a we'll founded report here to-
night. will constitute one Of the land
hank districts, while the bank for this
district, according to the report, VIII
be located at Binghamton, n. Y.
