DOC" WATERBURY IN AGAIN.
This Time Affair of the Heart
Lands Him In Sing Sing.

There was a distinguished arrival in
Sing Sing on the Hudson yesterday.
z. Breeze Stevens, as he sometimes
styles himself. was the newcomer. He
is more familiarly known to the police
and crookdom as doc" Waterbury, in
ternational swindler and confidence man,
This time he was registered at the
prison as DR.. J. H Waterbury, his cor
rect title and name. He was received
from new York county with fiat sem
tence of five years and three months.
1t was not for separating unsophisti-
Gated persons from their bankrolls that
Doc" Waterbury got into his latest
scrape, but for an affair OF the heart.
DR.. Waterbury, who rs a college gradu-
ate and licensed physician, has seldom
worked at his profession. Instead he
practised swindling and always played
for big stakes. He was sentenced to
Sing Sing when Thomas Mott Osborne
was warden in 1916 for one year for
grand larceny. In 1910 he was sentenced
to the Federal prison at Atlanta. Ga, for
criminal libel in Washington.
When Waterbury travels incognito Il
is under the names of Julius Ford, Paul
Sutherland, Preston Sutherland and T..
Breeze Stevens. After giving his pedi-
gree yesterday he asked to be given
light airy cell" Because of his pre-
vious stops in Sing Sing the doctor was
told he could have the best accommoda-
tons In the house.

WOMAN LOSES KISSING BET.
Fails to Embrace Gen. Pershing
and Is Out 800.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-One fair war
worker faces the loss of 500 as a re-
suit of wager that she would kiss Gen.
Pershing before he left Washington. As
the expeditionary commander was leav-
ing a hotel last night. where he had
attended a function in his honor, a
comely young woman who had edged
her way to the front of the crowd sur
rounding the entrance made a rush for
him.
Members of the Generals staff
grabbed her, but not until she had an
arm around Gen. Pershings neck and
was struggling to kiss him. Her act
was a signal for a grand rush on the
part OF other feminine members Of the
crowd. and Gen. Pershing literally had
to dive into his waiting car.
In the meantime the young woman.
apparently thinking an explanation of
her precipitate action was due, explained
she had wagered 800 that she would
kiss Gen. Pershing before he left Wash
ington.

PORTER REPORTS ON
GASOLINE CHEATING
Some Pumps GiUc Only Three
Gallons for FiUe.
Special Despatch TO Tur suv.

ALBANY, Sept. 20.-Short measure de-
livered by gasolene measuring pumps
causes considerable loss daily to thou
sands of automobilists in New York
State, according to a report made public
to-day by Commissioner Eugene II. Por-
ter of the Division of Foods and Mar
kets. following Statewide survey car
ried on by the Bureau of Weights and
Measures in conjunction with city and
county sealers.
Out of 1,100 gasolene measuring
devices tested 5S5 indicated shortages
ranging from one-half pint to one quart
on a Ave gallon delivery. and in a few
instances sealers found shortages rum
ming from two quarts to as high as two
gallons.
In n large majority of short deliv-
cries there was no apparent intent on
the part of pump owners to defraud,
the report says. Rather, the shortage
is ascribed TO carelessness or unreliable
machinery, Carelessness may be evil
denced In various ways, but interest in
the transaction on the part of the mo-
torlst will do much to establish better
and more uniform service, DIR. Porter
says.
To insure himself against shortage
the motorist should watch the operator
to see that he makes full stroke when
operating the pump. If the machine
bears an indicator showing the quantity
as delivered this also should be closely
observed. The delivery hose should In
all cases be drained since 1t IL likely to
contain from one to two quarts of gaso-
lene.
Responsibility rests with the pump
owner for maintaining his machine in
state of accuracy.
In one instance investigation was
made on complaint of tourist who as
serted he had received four gallons of
gasolene instead of FIVE When the facts
of the case were brought out 1t was
found that the pump had been previ-
ously run over by truck, yet the owner
had continued its use without testing or
reimbursement. other cases OF neglect
the statement says, often result In an
equally unfair deal for the motorist-

ALFALFA RAISING
BY STATE is URGED
Commissioner Would Line
Highways With Fields to
Be Sold as Hay.
FRUIT AND NUT TREES
Foliage Also Would Protect
Road Mixtures From Tenn
perature Changes.

ALBANY, Sept. 2o.--The Identification
and preservation of the highways of the
State by planting on both sides of them
fruit and nut trees has been decided upon
by State Commissioner OF Highways
Frederick Stuart Greene. II the CO.
operation of the State Commissioner Of
Agriculture is obtained Commissioner
Greene will experiment in the raising Of
alfalfa along the State roads.
Commissioner Greene believes the
State should make an effort to beautify
the highways. Shade trees. he says, aid
In prolonging the life of road by
saving 1t from quick changes in tenn
perature which crack and destroy road
mixtures.
In addition to planting productive
trees along the highways at intervals
of twenty to forty feet, Commissioner
Greene would plant alfalfa on at least
1000 of the 5000 miles of improved
State roads He estimates that the re-
ceipts from the hay. would pay the cost
of maintaining a considerable part of
the State highway system.
Has Crop Programme.
Speaking Of his crop programme, Com
missioner Greene said:
"If the law did not prevent the high
way department from becoming mer-
chant and actually selling material, we
1T
pay a considerable part of the main
tenance costs and to do this not at a
detriment to the highways themselves
but with actual benefit to them.
ITO maintain the shoulders which
border both sides of the pavements of
our roads now costs the State a con-
siderable sum. These shoulders could
be improved and be made a source of
revenue by being planted with alfalfa
AS is well known, 1t is not unusual to
get three crops OF alfalfa during the
season, and IL our shoulders. which are
about the width of the blade of a now
ing machine, were made to produce alf-
alfa, we could get more tons of good
hay from them than the average person
supposes.
81 ami not a farmer. nor have I gone
into the subject of alfalfa to any great
extent, but / have been told that prob
ably 1000 Of our 5000 miles of i'm
proved roads run through land suitable
for the raising Of alfalfa This would
mean that we would have. counting both
shoulders, a field of alfalfa eight miles
long by three feet wide. equalling ap-
proximately 5000 acres. ] do not have
to point out how economically a crop
which can be cut with the wheels of a
mower running along a hard pavement
can be gathered. l believe 1t would be
at least 25 per cent cheaper to harvest
alfalfa from the shoulders of our roads
than 1t would be to get the same amount
OF alfalfa from an ordinary field.
Fruit and Nut Trees.
"In addition to planting the shoul-
ders / would also like to plant fruit
and nut bearing trees along both sides
of our highways. The productive fruit
or nuts from these trees would be
ripened at just about the time we now
