5 h is a very attractive looking
girl" observed Deane, and apparent
ly passed the incident by as a casual
occurrence of no further interest. The
superintendent did not know his en-
ployer, however. While Adrian Deane
was a practical young business man
and absorbed In the duties at the
plant, there was a streak of romanti-
'cish in his nature. Something in the
sweet face of the Professors daughter
had stirred a responding chord in his
nature. There was a purity, a sweet
ness about the lovely face that seemed
to rest his soul wildly, In contrast
with the trivial-minded bellies of So
ciety he knew and the coarse, slattern-
Ily factory girls.
There was a stirring incident at the
plant that day that caused quite some
commotion. A man named Turley, a
quarrelsome, trouble-making fellow
who had at his behest a group of town
idlers, had been discharged for in
subordination and drunkenness. In
full fighting trim and uglier than ever
as to temper, he had cowed the office
employees and had penetrated to the
private oom of Mr.. Deane.
Once there, Turley began an abusive
TRADE, was ordered out, refused to
obey, and his stalwart young employ
er opened a window and dropped him
over the sill to the ground, eight feet
below.
Turley staggered away, breathing
vengeance. That afternoon the super
intendent of the works came to Deane
with a serious face.
~ do not wish to alarm you, Mr..
Deane," he said, but some Of ny men
tell me that Turley is making some
very desperate threats"
HE must keep away from the plant,
~ I shall have him arrested" said
" tsane.
II hope you will use caution, SIR"
advised the superintendent gravely.
"Turley is a dangerous man and when
drunk is a perfect demon. 1 would go
armed If L were you, sir"
Two days passed by and there was
no echo of significance from the
threats of Turley. One day he lurched
past Deane on the public street, and
glared at him and Missed out a curse
between his set lips, but Deane paid
no attention to him.
Two evenings after that Deane
started On a stroll, and. recalling some
figuring that had to be done by himself
on a large contract, decided he would
put in a couple of hours at his Office.
|He let himself into the building with
la key he always carried with him. In

TREES ARE KILLED BY GAS
Many Varieties, However, Are Well
Able to Withstand Conditions
Found in Many Cities.

The death of many trees in the
streets and parks of New York, usuaI-
ly ascribed to poor soil or parasites, is
largely due TO atmospheric conditions,
according to the eminent MassaChu-
sets botanist, George +. Stone. In an
article in the journal of the New York
Botanical garden he says that here are
to be found obstacles greater than in
other cities to the successful estab-
lishments surrounding Manhattan

Is chronic rather than acute. Its vital

Mr.. Stone declares that with the ex-
ception of the Austrian pine "praCtic-

pheric gases, and it is rarely that ore

that it is impractical to continue
planting ~conifers here.
Elms, too, are a comparatively easy
victim to gases. The effects Of the
poison are visible in Riverside drive
and in Central park. But, as Profess
sor Stone remarks, many of the elms
were deplorable specimens to begin
with not such fine types as are grow
ing in the Bronx.
The trees that best withstand gas
poison are the Norway maple, black
locust, ailanthus and linden.-New

the following purposes the dairy
house is to serve. namely: Q) selling
whole milk in bulk (2) making butter
or selling cream; and (3) bottling
milk on the farm.
The illustrations shown are designed
for dairies with as many as twenty
five cows in the herd. For larger
herds it may be necessary to build a
dairy house having larger dimensions
than those submitted. If it is not in
tended to have the dairy house fitted
with a boiler room and a Mushroom,
it may be made smaller than suggest
ed by eliminating that part of the
building devoted to such rooms.
Dairy House for Selling Whole Milk
in Bulk.
The milkrOom should contain a coil
cooler for cooling the milk as quickly
as possible after it is drawn. The milk
may then be put into eight or ten
gallon cans and set in the cooling
tank, or the preliminary cooling may
be omitted and the cans of warm milk
placed in the cooling tank. The cool
ing tank may be fitted with water con-
nections so that the milk can be kept
cold by running water, or the tank
may be insulated and fitted with a lid
so that ice may be placed in the cool
ing water. The latter is not necessary
if there is a good supply of cold water
which will keep the milk at a temper
AZURE below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
A hand-separator may be installed
in case of the necessity of skimmlng
surplus milk.
Dairy House for Selling Cream or
Making Butter.
Selling cream necessitates the use of
a centrifugal separator and a cooling
tank or refrigerator. Making butter
requires the additional equipment of a
churn, and a table upon which to print
and wrap the butter. The cooling tank
may be built of a size depending on
the amoun of material to be kept
cool. The cream should be cooled d.
rectly after skimming and kept cool
until it is delivered or ripened for
churning, as the case may be.
A gasoline engine may be installed
in the Mushroom to furnish power for
separating and churning. If such an
engine is used, the exhaust should be
piped through the roof of the building
In order to avoid the possibility of the
gasoline flavor being absorbed by the
cream.
Dairy House for BottIing MIX.
For bottling milk or the farm the
dairy house should be larger and con-
tain more equipment than is required
for the two aforementioned purposes.
A double-compartment sink is convent
ent for washing and rinsing bottles.
There should be a sterilizer for steril-
izing all bottles before they are filed.
This may be used also to sterilize the
milk pals, cooler and the bother. The
sterilizer may be constructed of hollow
tile Rlastered with cement plaster, or
of heavy galvanized sheet iron rein
forced with angle iron. A drain
should be placed in the floor Of the
sterilizer and a ventilator with a tight
fitting damper in the ceiling. Shelves
may be arranged so that they will
hold the bottles In an inverted posi-
ton, or, If cases of the proper kind
are used, the bottles can be put into

Of it all is that nearly forty-elght

should do is TO concern ourselves with
the desperate activities of the German
Empire in this country. Some of these
activities are political; others are at
tempts at dynamlting our war plants

the medium of peace talk or injecting

eek was on his way QUITO appear no
more.
The programme at this meeting In
volved among other things the election
of DR.. Thomas Adds Emmett, head OF
the clan of which the Irish patriot I'm
met was a member, as president. The
object was obvous-so obvious that the
venerable Mr.. Emmett declined with
thanks. In his place Victor Herbert
was chosen. The choice was from an
organizing standpoint not altogether
happy, for Herbert's well known Ger
man leanings emphasized the made IN

to conceal. The son of an freshman,
he was educated In Germany and at
times speaks with German accent.
The German leanings of Herbert
we're made much of by those who op-
posed the efforts of the organization
TO establish branches throughout the
country. To every appeal to Irish
patriotism the answer MADE in Ger
many" was raised, and progress in
organizing has been slow, so slow that
in the sections where the most head
way in any Irish movement would
naturally be looked for there has beer
substantially none.
The most radical among these who
have been real friends of ireland, the
men and women who have bought
reams of bonds of the Irish Republic
and backed with their dollars every
movement calculated to advance the
cause of Ireland, have ignored, when
they have not actively denounced, the
efforts to enlist them. They have. in
stead. chosen to follow the lead OF the
Redmond idea in Irish affairs, and, in
things American, remain pro-Ameri-
can. From them not much has been
heard in public print or public pro-
test. As rule, they have been con-
tent TO let the organization alone, con-
fdent that il would be recognized as it
is, and not as il would like TO be.
But, cricket-like, the members OF the
organization have been noisy. They
have sought to make up in noise what
| they lack Of numbers.

Says Legislature Must Act

Dewey, Also Accused,
Is Silent

Governor Whitman declared yester-
day that he would take no action in
tho matter Of the message alleged to
have been sent by Justice Daniel F.
Cohalan to be forwarded to Berlin,
urging the Kaiser to land men and
officers in Ireland and bomb England
in aid of the Irish revolt. The opin-
ion was expressed by lawyer that
the Bar Association also would have
to ignore the charge.
THE Governor can do nothing in a
case of this sort" said the Governor
at Is up to the Legislature if action
from the bench"
Only an illegal act, IN the opinion
Of former official Of the Bar Asso-
citation. could serve as the basis of
charges on which Cohalan could be
expelled from that organization.
"If Justice Cohalan is guilty of the
offence charged against him at Wash
ington," he said, nothing can save him
from the contempt of the people. But
for the Bar Association to move against
him he must have committed An illegal
act. He has not done this. The dis.
closures allege that he intrigued with
Bernstorf at time when we were a
neutral nation. We had not entered
the war and OR actions then were con.
trolled by the neutrality laws.
Under the statutes then in force the
plotting charged against Justice Coha.

due. no doubt, to the natural lack OF
affinity of the two races. IL continued
in existence. but il was never lusty
infant. The important fact remained
perhaps the most important. that the
connection between the Irish irrecon-
cilables who constituted the "physlca!
force" group in this country was con-
tnued.
Matters remained in this state, with
the Clan-ns-Gael becoming weaker and
weaker. until the outbreak of the war
i'm Europe. So far as the well informed
could see, the movement was dead save
in a few sections. Il was so weak that
for months il made no open effort 70
line up, or appear TO line up, the lriSh
people in this country against the
Allies. Under cover, however. II was
active, and the attempt TO use the long
shoremen in an effort 20 deprive the
Entente Of munitions and supplies was
largely based on the theory that the
Irish. long dominant in this craft,
could be depended upon to get into
line.
The fact that an Irishman, I. ':
O'Connor. OF Buffalo, was the chief OF
this organization, that the Irish dom
mated the longshoremen in this and
other cities, appealed to the propa
gandists. 1t was for this reason that
the effort was made to bride O'Connor
and his people and to use Mathew
Cummins. of Boston, in the attempt.
The failure of this movement is fresh
in the public mind.
