Weather and Crop Conditions

The temperature was contin-

much needed showers occurred
nearly every day. The rains
were benifical for corn, potatoes
and pastures. Corn is in tassel
and in excellent condition, al
though late. Potatoes are re-
ported good in all districts and
the early crop has been dug.
Oats are being harvested and
good yields were reported. Pas
lures and meadows show i'm
provement. Fruit is generally
fair to poor in western and CEN
trail counties but good in eastern
counties. Fall blowing is ad-
vancing. The week was un-
favorable for farm work, espec-
tally harvesting and shocked
grain.s A week of sunshine is
needed.

and his parents, Attorney and
Mrs. Charles B. Johnson, and a
smaller sister, Beatrice, went

went out the Brushy Fork road
for several miles and were re-
turning when the shot was fired.
Mother, Pm shot," young
Johnson said, and he then lurch-
ed forward, Mrs. Johnson, who
was riding in the front seat with
him placed the brakes on the car

John Romanelli was convicted yester-
day of grand larceny in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, for stealing the wood
alcohol which made its appearance in
New England in the guise of whisky at
Christmas time last year, causing more
than 100 deaths. Romanelli insisted
in his testimony that he did not know
what the alcohol was to be used for
He had agreed with Cosimo dam
brosio, of 462 Carroll Street. brooklyn
he said, to sell the alcohol. For his
part in the deal. he said, he received
$1,000, which he used to pay a mort
gage on his home.
% Ambrosio would not tell me where
the stuff was or who had it," said Ro-
maneli "Finally I asked him one day
if it was all straight and if he was sure
there was nothing crooked about it. He
replied; 1t is all straight Ask me no
more about it,"
Didn't you know" demanded Assist
ant District Attorney Warbasse, "that
this alcohol was going to be made into
some kind Of beverage in violation of
the prohibition laws? ?"
Il didn't know what it was going to
be used for" replied Romanelli. 81

"The American people fail to real
ize," said Mr.. Gillen. that they have
amortized more than $4,000, 900 of
the value of these ships built as war
emergency, when a bridge Of ships was
demanded. A loss must be accepted
due to the emergency under which they
were built, the same as it is for unused
powder"
The market for ships to-day, said the
witness, is not what it was last De-
cember, due to economic conditions
At that time if the ships could have
been sold at a fair price between 300
and 500 of them would have been ab-
sorbed by the American market.
"Uncle Sam must bravely meet the
conditions" concluded Mr.. Gillen, "and
sell his ships At market prices, the
same as Secretary Houston is advising
Anne ericans to do with other commodi-
ties"

Reannears in Recital In Git,

Albert Vertchamp, violinist, who ap-
peared in this city las tseason, was
heard again in recital last night at
Carnegie Hall His program was of
conventional mold: the Tartini G minor
sonata, Sinding suite in A minor, and
two groups Of moro or less familiar
short numbers. Mr.. Vertchamp is of
that somewhat numerous company of
ass2irants for public recognition. whose
title them to q respectful hearing, but
who can make little claim to pre-
eminence. He has firm and pleasing
tone, a not always accurate left hand,
but q sufficiently agile bow arm. He
has not attained breadth or brilliance
Of style. His best playing was in the
first movement Of the sonata, q Chopin
noscure. and an Old French gavotte,
which was charmingly done.
