GERMAN is ACCUSED
OF OBTAINING PRESIDENT
Walter Go1dmacher, Reservist, Says
His Remarks Were Reply to
Those Rejecting on Kaiser.

Walter Goldmacher, twenty-seven
years old, a German reservist, about
noon today was locked up at the first
police precinct on charges of intoxica-
ton and defaming the President. 1t is
alleged that while standing at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 18th street he in
dulged in profanity and incendiary re-
marks about the President.
Capt. c. E. E. Flather. who heard
part of what Goldmacher said. arrested
him and locked him up. When the
police captain appeared on the scene.
he stated, the German reservist had one
hand in his hip pocket as if he intended
to draw a weapon and some of the by
ISLANDERS gave evidence of being
alarmed.
What the bystanders thought was a
weapon, Capt. Father stated. was a
one-half-pint bottle of whisky. David
E. Hoke, a chief petty officer in the
navy, directed the attention of the po-
lice captain to the belligerent talk in
which it was alleged Goldmacher in
dulged, and the arrest followed.
Goldmacher told a Star reporter that
he was born in Germany. and said he
had not done military duty there. Six
weeks before war was declared, he
stated, he left England and went to
South America. He reached here from
the latter country in November. 191 a.
and has been employed as cook in
lunchrooms.
The prisoner said he worked at a G
street lunchroom last night. He left
his place of employment this morning,
he stated. and had a few drinks before
he was arrested. He declared that a
man in a gathering where he was ar
rested made remark rejecting upon
the kaiser. and what he said was in re-
Spouse to that remark.

Sunlight Is Necessary.

No amount of fertilizer. watering and
cultivation will make up for the alb
sence of sunlight in a garden. Home
gardeners, before attempting for the
first time to use a back yard or other
space, should consider carefully how
many hours a day any part OF the yard
is in shadow from buildings. fences or
trees At least five hours of sunlight
a day is necessary for successful
garden. The more sunlight they get
the better it is for most vegetables
For this reason it is bad practice to
put plants of low habit between tall
growing plants which will shade them
for the greater part of the day.
AS rule. foliage crops. such as let
tuce. spinach and kale, do fairly well
in partial shade. but even these must
have sunshine two or three hours
DAY In laying out the garden. there
fore, use shadier parts for such plants
and reserve the sunny spaces for those
which must have plenty of sunlight to
grow and fruit properly.

HOME GARDEN HINTS
Soil Tips.

Practically all truck crops do better on
sandy loan soil than on one that Is
sticky and heavy. Larger-sized crops.
however, such as cabbage. tomatoes.
beans and peas. will do we'll on heavy
soil provided it contains the necessary
vegetable matter
The soil in most backyard gardens is
distinctly heavy. 1t will help the soil
greatly if the owner works into it a
good amount of finely sifted coal ashes
free from all cinders. Coal ashes are used
largely for the physical effect in breaking
up a compact, heavy soil. Such ashes
do not take the place of fertilizer.
Plentiful use of well-rotted manure Is
still more beneficial in breaking up heavy
soil. because this improves the texture
and adds fertiliZing material.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-04-03
Many Soils Sour.

Many garden soils are sour. To Offset
acidity and also to improve the physical
properties of the soil the garden special
lists recommend the use Of lime. Burnt
lime should be applied at the rate Of 1000
pounds to the acre or slaked lime at
the rate of about 1900 pounds per acre.
A garden plot so by 100 feet Is approx
mately one ninth of an acre.
To apply the lime, broadcast it and
mix it freely with the surface soil by
narrowing or raking. Lime should be ap-
piled before the crops are set out or
planted and should not be applied at the
same time that fertilizer or manure is
put on.
Manure will greatly improve land.
Il we'll rotted manure is not available
it may be advisable to use complete
chemical fertilizer. Apply at the rate
of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre a mix
ture containing to per cent nitro
gen, per cent phosphoric acid and
/ to per cent potash. The amateur
gardener will find it easier to use
ready-mixed fertilizer, which can be
obtained from any reliable dealer.
