MILLIONS IN CASH MOVED.
Fifth Avenue Hardly Notices the
Transfer of Wealth.

OI "SdlI1s
New York.-Many millions in cash
securities were transferred across Fifth
avenue when the Fifth avenue office Of
the Guaranty Trust company Of New
York was moved from the southwest to
the southeast corner of that thorough
fare and Forty-third street. The de-
posits alone of this Office total nearly
$4O,OOO,OOO. How much was in the
$500 safe deposit boxes is beyond con-
lecture. The work Of removal was
guarded by special officers belonging to
the bank and by squads Of city police
men and detectives.
The task began at the close Of bust
ness with the cutting away Of the steel
bars on the Forty-third street side Of
the trust company's old quarters and
continued several hours. Traffic on
Fifth avenue was not interrupted, and
the transfer Of all this wealth was
practically unnoticed by the passersby.

A CONv|CT'S WORD
Lewis Returns to Sing Sing Ahead
of Time.
WENT TO WIFE'S FUNERAL
Physician Declares That Prisoner
Would Have Come Back Even if No
Guard Had Been Sent Along With
Him-Convicts Decide to Give New
Warden a Chance.

Ossining. n. Y.-As a graphic illus
tration of the determination of the
prisoners i'm Sing Sing to give a square
deal to William II. Meyer. the new
warden, Abe Lewis, a convict who had
been granted permission by Governor
funeral of his wife in Brooklyn. re
turned to the prison twelve hours ahead
of time.
When Lewis learned that Mr.. Meyer
was to begin his work as warden he
decided TO come back Immediately to
demonstrate to the new warden that
the prisoners could be safely trusted
with privileges. Lewis is regarded as
one of the most reliable prisoners. He
has spent seven years in Sing Sing.
With only twenty months more to
serve the convict learned that his wife.
who had stuck by him through every
thing, had died suddenly. Their three
TOung children were left without any
me to care for them. The news nearly
'roStrated the prisoner. He implored
alvin Derrick, the acting warden, to
IT him 20 to Brooklyn to see the face
Jf his wife once more and to arrange
for the care of his children.
Permission from Governor Whitman
was obtained by telegraph, and Lewis
and guard started for New York. In
Brooklyn Lewis learned that Mr.. MOy-
er surely was to assume the warden
ship. After making hasty arrange
ments Lewis hurried back to the priS-
on. The convict turned up there unex-
pectedly, although the governor had
granted him permission to stay over
night.
HE would have come back Just the
same even if no guard had been sent
along with him." commented DR.. Bar
~, the prison physician.
The cOnvicts are frankly relieved
now that the permanent" warden has
taken charge Of the prison. Life for
them within the last year has just been
one warden after another. With every
succession to office came changes in
discipline. modification of privileges
and doubt and mistrust on the part Of
the prisoners.
I'm glad he's come at last" said
one of the leaders of the prisoners.
We've been on tenterhOoks every time
a new man came in, and we've been OH
the anxious seat every time a man
went out. Now We can settle down to
a regular life.
We're going to give the new warden
a chance TO show how he stands. He's
promised to meet us halfway, and We'll
do our share. Nobody is going to start
inside until he has a chance
to make good his word"

Ex.PREsIDENT TAFT ON WAR.
Speaks to 1000 People IN Interest Of
League to Enforce Peace.

Richmond, Va, March 21.-For-
,mer President Taft declared In an
address to 1000 persons here to-
night: There are worse things than
war, and one of those is the dishon-
oraDle Yielding to invasion of your
rights because you are afraid to fight
for them"
Mr.. Taft was speaking in the in
terests of the league to enforce peace.
He continued:
The first duty of the United
States when war Is inevitable is to
prepare. We have proceeded OH the
theory in the past that the Lord
looks after children, drunken man
and the United States. But 1t is time
to awaken to the realization that we
are forced into the war with the most
military nation in the world. Even
now we say that with the British
navy and the armies of the allies we
are not in danger. We ought not to
lay that nattering junction to our
souls"
Mr.. Taft recited the instances by
which Germany. has forced the Uni
ted States to the verge OF war and de-
clared that president Wilson is en-
powered with authority to arm the
merchant marine and that its gun
.ners have the right given them as
American citizens to use their wea-
,pons against the skulking subma-
rine."

Velvet Beans Great Crop.
Progressive Farmer.D

mo less in importance to growing
our food is the question Of raising
sufficient feed for our live stock and
building up our SOILS" says Director
e. r. Lloyd, Of the Mississippi Exper-
iment Station and Extension Depart
ment.
"One OF the best feed and fertili-
ger crops our farmers can grow" he
says, lis velvet beans. Crushed vel
vet beans in the hull and corn In
equal proportions make a balanced
ration for hogs, cattle, or horses, and
the vines are worth as much as SIT
an acre for fertilizer. The meal from
the beans in the hulls is worth about
one-half as much as high-grade cot
ton seed meal testing about AZ per
cent of fat and II to / 8 per cent pro-
tein.
"The yields Of this crop are enor-
nous. Even after severe storms
$500 pounds Of beans in the hull per
acre were harvested at the Mcneil
Branch Station. and it has been no
trouble to make as much as 5000
pounds to the acre. The harvesting
Is not expensive. as good hand can
pick from 500 to COO pounds a day
and the usual rate of pay is about IS
cents hundred.
"The beans should be planted af-
ter the land warns up Or about the
middle of April. The Early Speck-
led, Osceola and Chinese are early
and prolific varieties. They are usu-
ally planted and cultivated once or
twice with shallow implement.
They make the most seed where they
have a support crop like corn. A
good way of planting them is two
rows of corn and two rows of velvet
beans. They are also planted in the
drill with the corn, which Is all right
on thin land, but where the land Is
rich the beans planted in this way
cover the corn"

Der of bulletins on velvet bean cul-
.ture. They will be gwen to those in
,terested If they will call on us. The
bulletins were sent to us by Hon.

Simple Laxative Remedy -
Best for Constipation
DIR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN
GAVE SATISFACTION WHEN
NOTHING ELSE WOULD.

Nearly every one, at one time or
another suffers from constipation, or
inactive bowels, and one of the few
conclusions upon which the doctors
agree Is that regularity OF the bowels
Is an essential to good health.
In the family medicine chest Of
most well-ordered households will be
found one or more of the various
remedies recommended for the relief
Of constipation. In the majority Of
homes to-day the combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin Is recognized as the standard lax
ative. Druggists everywhere report
a constantly increasing demand for
this splendid remedy which Is sold
for fifty cents bottle.
Mr.. James Ash, 102 Green street,
Cumberland, Md, wrote to Dr.. Cald-
we'll that he found Dr.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin the most effective rem
edy for constipation he had ever
used and that he always keeps a bot
tie of 1t on hand for use when neces-
sary. ...
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative, and does not grippe or
strain, but acts gently and brings
relief IN an easy. natural manner.
