took the machine to pieces, and brought

he died within an hour.
Probably suicides can't properly be
termed accidents. but Barrett is of the
opinion that a great many of them are

merely makes a feint of trying to die, he
says. Sometimes he does IT to get atten-

Blames Greed of Large
Buyers for Coal Crisis

The reported coal crisis in Eastern
cities is largely state of mind, re-
sulting mainly from greed for coal by
large buyers, Charles S. Allen, secre-
tary of the Wholesale Coal Trade As
sociation Of New York, declared last
night.
Public utilities, heating plants and
factories in New York City, Newark
and other cities in the Eastern dis
trict need fear no famine during the
winter, and no curtailment of con-
sumption would be necessary if big
business would lend it's cooperation,
he asserted. An ample supply of soft
coal is coming to the docks, Mr.. Allen
said, but wholesalers are receiving or
ders for twenty times the amount that
can be used.
"The desire Of big business to lay
in stock Of coal sufficient to supply
its needs for several months in ad-
vance and to leave the other fellow to
shift for himself as best he car, even
to the point of closing down. he added
"has created the present serious stu
alton"

Victim Hesitated as Thugs
Ask for Boss; Visitor Is
Welcomed and Robbed

Robbers who did not hesitate to use
pistol butt when they thought blow
on victims head might hasten the
action of the drama they staged,
cleaned out a showcase and window of
fur shop at 119th Street and Lenox
Avenue and also emptied the pockets
OF those in the store yesterday. The
robbery waas carried out in daylight
while throngs were passing and several
women were staring through the win
dow at the furs displayed there while
the shighwaymen were at work
No suspicion of the real purpose of
tne four men, who seemed so dilgent
about the affairs of the shop entered
the minds of spectators, however, even
vixen furs were taken from the very
window INTO which they were looking.
INC robbers got away with furs valued
at $4,000, three watches and about
Sl00 in currency
They Wanted to See the Boss
There were five in the gang One
remained in an autom obile standing at
thescurb and four entered the fur shop,
which is owned by Max Rosenberg and
Samuel Greif. Harry Nather, sixteen
year-old bookkxeper for the concern,
looked up from his desk and asked the
quartet what they wanted. One of
them replied grufy that they wanted
to see the boss"
From the tone and aspect of the
callers, Nather doubted the truth of
this statement and put further ques-
tions to them. Rosenberg and Greif
were in an Office in the rear.
The callers had no time to waste
onsa bookkeeper, however, and one of
them put a speedy end to the con-
versation by bringing the butt of his
revolver down upon Nather's head
with such force that he dropped un-
conscious from his stool. The noise
OF his fall brought Rosenberg and
Greif and Miss Miller, a stenogra-
pher, from the office.
Three revolvers were leveled at them
as soon as they got into the main
room The fourth bandit was occu-
pied in dragging Nather's body out of
the way and searching his pockets. The
ooay was flung into a corner of the
rear Office and the proprietors and their
stenographer were ordered back into
the same room.
Visitor Gets Cordial Welcome
They were joined there moment
later by Louis Messer. of 55 East 1l0th
street, friend of Rosenberg's who had
cropped in to see him and was aston
ished at the cordial welcome extended
to him by the four armed strangers
whom he found in possession
When the robbers had taken what
1urs they wanted and nsferred them
20 their automobiles, they searched the
packets of their victims, getting three
watches and about 500 in money. Then
they took Miss Miller's handbag and
departed. The thieves were unable to
get their car under way at once and
Rosenberg and Greif came running out
of the store yelling for help while the
automobile still stood at the curb.
Before passersby caught the signif-
canoe of the fur dealers cries, however.
the automobile was disappearing up
Lenox Avenue. A physician was called
to dress Nather's injury, which con-
sisted of scalp wound.

the Equitable Social Club, at East
Twelfth Street, in the action of the
organization against Police Commits
sioner Enright, whose department has
had the club under suspicion as q
gambling house.
Several months ago the club made
an application in the Supreme Court
for temporary injunction restraining
Commissioner Enright from placing a
policeman at the door and warning
persons entering the building that
they were liable to arrest in case the
place was raided.
Justice Finch denied this applica-
tion without prejudice to q subsequent
motion which the Equitable Club has
made and which Justice Mullan will
hear tomorrow.

Both times she refused, she said.
II told the officer on the second oc-
casion that l thought they were vio-

said it was not the right thing to do,
but he had received instructions to

Some Of the Things Observed on the
Profitable Farming Train Through
Georgia and the Carolina's That
Have Increased Crop Produc-
ton in Those States.
By EARL SMITH, County Agent
ton in Those States

1. Good drainage.
2. Good preparation of seed bed.
3. Plenty of humus in soil.
a. Good seed.
5. Heavy applications of CONNER
cial fertilizer.
O.. Constant shallow cultivation.
7. Diversification.
The first prerequisite in the prof.
table use of commercial fertilizer is
good drainage and all the farms we
visited | observed to be we'll drained,
a great part of the lands having ma
tural drainage. Good drainage is
essential because the fertilizer is held
on the land and not washed away.
That good preparation of the soil
increased crop production was well
demonstrated at Americas, Ca. or in
Sumter Co. 1t was my pleasure to
ride over large part of that County
with Emory Criffen, a practical far
mer there engaged in the business of
buying worn out farms and living
on them until they are built up and
sold. He informed me that over
loo tractors were used on farms in
Sumter County. The farmers thus
save a great deal of time and labor
in breaking the land. The soil is
turned from 8 to IL inches deep and
in the fall a cover crop of some kind
is put on the land, such as Abruzzi
rye, oats or clover to furnish winter
grazing for stock and to prevent the
land from washing. This brings me
to the next factor that of putting
more humus in the soil. | hardly
believe a more complete cycle of
soil building with leguminous crops
could be found say than we saw in
Sumter Couty, Ca. In almost every
field of corn Tin the hill and between
rows are found Velvet Beans that
make luxuriant growth and furnish
feed for livestock all through the fall
and winter months. The corn can
either be harvested or allowed to be
hogged off with the beans. Accord
ing 10 Mr.. Griffen The two ways of
planting the beans in the hill and be-
tween the row of corn depends upon
the type of soil. For example of
fertile soils where the bean makes
