Nassau Sheriff
Is Under Charges
Coz. Smith Asked to
Remoue Him; Prisoners
Said to Go Out Walking

MINEOLA, Long Island, Aug. Ii
Charges OF malfeasance in office were
made to-day against Sheriff Phineas
Seaman. and Governor Smith was asked
to remove him. One of the principal
counts in the charges is the suicide
Of DE-. Walter Keene wilkins, con-
victed wife murderer, in the Nassau
County jail here. The charges are
made by the Nassau County Associa-
ton, Of which j. P. Morgan, Henry P.
Dawson, Ogden Mills, Mortimer L.
Schlif and other summer residents are
Neil H. Nanderwatcr, counsel for the
association, who took the charges to
Albany, is the man who led The asso-
cations raiders against an alleged
gambling house on Merrck Road a
lew weeks ago without taking any of
the county officers into his confidence.
Sheriff Seaman is accused by the as
sociation of being so easygoing in his
conduct of the jail, "that the name of
Nassau County has become a byword
and a scandal" He is charged with
gross mlsmanagement, negligence and
careiessness." 1t is further set forth
that he permitted "prsoners to go out
without guard, and, as a result of his
mismanagement, allowed Dr.. Walter
X. Wilkins to remain unguarded and
to commit suicide"
DR.. Wilkins ended his life by hang
ing himself. An inquiry failed to dis
close how he got the rope.
According 10 the charges, j. B. Shaw,
a Federal prisoner from Brooklyn, who
was arrested eleven months ago in
connection with alleged violation of
the draft act, was seen wandering
about the streets of Mineola, receiving
packages at the postoffice and sitting
along the Old Country Road. alone and
unguarded."
Another prisoner, committed for
failure to pay aimony, is said to have
been seen sauntering along Willetts
Avenue, Mineola, and at other places
in the county. He was accompanied by
a woman, it is alleged, but no prison
guard was in sight.
Sheriff Seaman was not at the jail
tonight, and no statement was given
out in his defence. The charges against
him are signed by William NJ. Baldwin,
q director of the association, and John
A. Albertson, its secretary. Paul D.
Cravath, John T. Pratt and Mrs. Joseph
Z. Davis are some Of the other direc-

Norway's Sulphur Needs

Norway's probable import demand
for sulphur will be about 1000 tons,
according to a report issued by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce. The present situation, however,
is one of uncertainty. 1t is reported
that Italian sulphur has been offered,
but prices have not been made public
1t is said British sulphur will again
become available, and if so. the near
ness of Norway will probably influence
English expectations.

lied Englishman, was arrested in
Brooklyn on August 4, 1915, on
charge of forgery preferred by the
British Consul in New York, Lincoln
said he was German spy and that
England really wished to try him for
this offence. AS the United States
and Germany were not at war the
case presented number Of complica-
tlons. Finally, however. the United
States District Court ordered Lincoln's s
extradition on the forgery charge, but
he continued to fight for his liberty
by applying for writ of habeas
corpus.
In January Lincoln escaped from
the custody of the deputy marshal to
whom he had been given in charge;
but later was rearrested and confined
IN the Raymond Street Jail, in Brook
yn, where the authorities were con-
tinually apprehensive of plots to rescue
him until he was deported, May 27,

was tried for forgery and sentenced
to three years penal servitude Ear.y
this year the British government re-
voked his certificate Of naturalization.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By r. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

Plant Corn in Wide Rows.
Spacing corn properly is a job
|of the utmost Importance at this
season of the year. With rows
six feet apart and stalks three
feet apart in the row each stalk
will be allotted eighteen square
feet of space which will give
2400 stalks to the acre. With
one ear to the stalk 24O0 stalks
are capable of producing twenty
four bushels of corn. Where
the land is strong enough to pro-
duce more the rows may be
closer and the stalks left thicker
in the drill. Where land does
not normally produce more than
twelve or fifteen bushels to the
acre the stalks should be four
feet apart in six-foot rows.
Poorer land should be treated to
a crop of rye and velvet beans
turned under before planting to
corn.
The great mistake generally
made is to leave too many stalks
on the land. AS a result the
corn will fail at earring time.
The moisture and plant food that
was wanted in the ears go into
the production Of stalk. As a
general statement corn will do
better in wide rows with stalks
closer in the row. Whether
planting in wide or narrow rows
be sure not to overestimate the
strength of your land as to do so
will mean stalks and nubbins at
harvest time instead of good
ears.

Sure, we'll finish the Job.

$3.50, 600 bonds for the building
of this highway voted by the
people of Road District Eight
have been sold several months
since and the money duly placed
at the command of the Board Of
State Highway Engineers; and
whereas, the obligation is laid
upon us to keep said road in
passable condition until su c h
time as the State Highway En-
gineers can let the contract for
the permanent improvement of
this road; and whereas the un-
expected long delay of the State
engineers has resulted in the
highway becoming greatly i'm.
paired by the rains of the winter
and spring; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Governor
and the State Board of Engineers
are respectfully urged to exert
their best endeavors to have the
letting of the contract to build
the link of the Jefferson High
way in Grant parish at the earli-
est date possible.
Resolved, That a committee of
citizens be appointed to go be-
fore the police jury and the road
commissioners of ward two at
their meeting on May 5 and ask
that a liberal appropriation be
made out of the funds of Grant
parish and ward two road funds
in order to make repairs on the
Jefferson Highway sufficient to
make it passable for travel until
the contractors can get to work
on the permanent improvements
of same.
The chair appointed as said
committee Charles Dale. w. D.
Lurry, John Randolph, T. C.
Bush, j. w. Richards, ]. H. Nc
Nicely, ]. w. Duncan. B. S. Sim
mons, j. w. Hadnot and F. A.
Lawrence, and on motion the
chairman was added to the COM
mittee.
On motion of ]. H. McNeely,
seconded by John Randolph, a
motion prevailed that the chair
appoint committee to confer
with the other parishes and get
them to unite in request to the
governor and Duncan Buie, chief
of the highway engineers, urging
that they use their best endeav-
ors to forward contracts and in
augurate work on the Jefferson
highway throughout the State.
The chair appointed as said
committee j. H. McNeely, John
Randolph, w. D. Lurry, ]. w.
Duncan, J. M. Wardlow and DIR.
T. j. Harrison.
John Randolph moved that the
club adjourn subject to call and
that those present resolve them
selves into a mass meeting and
endorse Attorney ]. A. Williams
for district judge pending the
resignation of Judge w. F.
Blackman. The motion was Sec
onded by j. B. Roberts. who
said he thought it entirely ap-
propriate for Grant to put for
ward a candidate for Judge, as
the parish had been in the dis
trict for many yearsandh adnever
been given recognition. On be-
ing put to a vote it was unani-
mously adopted.
