AID. PORTER NEGLECT
CASE Is DISMISSED
Former Police Commissioner
Accused Following Raid
on Apartment.

Indictments against Augustus Drum
Porter. former Third Deputy Police
Commissioner. charging him with wilful
neglect of duty. were dismissed yester-
day by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky in Cen
eral Sessions. Porter was tried on these
charges before the late Judge James r.
Malone year ago. The jury disagreed.
1t was charged that Hilbert Wheel
wright and Frederick j. Sorger, plain
clothes men. raided an apartment In
West Ninety-sixth street on the night
of November IL, 1919, and found Porter
there In company with a woman, and
that he prevented them from arresting
her for alleged violation of the tenement
house law. A week ago Martin w.
Littleton. counsel for Porter. moved for
a dismissal of the indictments on the
ground that when the policemen com
piled with Porter's alleged demand they
made themselves his accomplices.
Judge Rosalsky sustained Mr.. Little
tons contention. In ruling Judge Ro-
salsky said 1t is essential to an orderly
administration Of justice that no dis
erection be vested In a police officer to
flout duty enjoined on him by law
where there Is proof the criminal law
has been violated. Policemen cannot ex-

The New York Navy Yard yesterday

who for the last eleven years has been
at the head Of all construction and
maintenance work in the yard, closed
his desk and went on the retired list
after forty-seven years OF continuous
duty as naval officer.
He ended his long service when the
yard whistle blew at o'clock last eve
ming by getting UP out Of his swivel
chair, lighting cigarette and calling II

than that. The whistle blew and he was
through.
For the next hour or two he was kept
occupied shaking the hands Of various

Admiral Burd has been known as In

Admiral Burd entered the Naval

Tony trembled with joy and fright
He couldn't raise his head or his body.

doctor assisted Tony. whose eyes
opened so wide when the animal ap-

would pop right out of his small head.
After a while the scared look disap-
peared and Tony's aim improved. Once
he was almost on the point of patting
the scratchy gray trunk, he felt so
brave, with George Denman. the ele-
phant trainer OF Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey's circus. standing
by the bedside.
Tony, like many Of the other little
patients. had seen a circus at the hospi-
tai before but never had he been so
near the animals, and never had he fed
them peanuts. And never had Peggy,
aged a. ever sat in clowns lap and let
him taste her green lolypop. This all
happened after the regular circus was
over. and it seemed 10 the rows Of tiny
patients In front that it was the incest
part OF the show.
This year the performers appeared In
the courtyard OF the surgical buildings
of the hospital. The balconies. roof and
yard were packed with children and
grownups. Little patients were brought

BRYAN WOULD RE SENATOR.
See Real Reason" for
 Move From Nebraska.

Washington, June 3.-Candidacy of William Jennings Bryan for the Unit ed States Senate is foreshadowed bv the removal of his legal residence from Lincoln, Neb., to Miami. Fla. ac- cording. to close friends of the com moner here.
 Aitho in making formal announce ment yesterday of his intention of transferring his citizenship of Florida MT. Bryan assigned Mrs. Brvan's health and her preference of Miami as a residence as his reasons, it has been known for months that he was casting eyes at Senate seat, and saw the place now held by Senator Park Trammell as one that would about fit him.
 Quite naturally Bryan will deny any senatorial intentions at this time. He IS too old hand at politics to get a fight started this early, when the cleo tion is nearly two years off. But if he isn't in the race and hasn't found an issue that demands his becoming the 1922 candidate, the most surprised in- dividuals will the the Florida Demo crats now in Washington.

HOW TO GET
 TOP PRICE FOR POTATOES

(By Jim G. Ferguson, Commissioner
 of Mines, Manufactures and Agri-
 culture.
 Some Irish potato growers sell their crop at a premium when the market is dull simply because they have es- tablished la reputation among buyers for quality and uniformity of product. Buyers Are willing to pay a fancy price for potatoes such as will please discriminating consumers. The de- mand for high grade potatoes is great CT than the demand for inferior pota- oes. It will pay any growers to cater to the best trade by offering only clean. sound potatoes of good size, and carefully packed, so that they will reach the consumer in first class con- dition.
 There is no secret about marketing high grade potatoes. Every farmer knows what good potato is, but he may not realize the importance of uniformity and neatness of packing. This is undoubtedly the reason why So many growers who raise good pota- toes do not get full value for their crop. After grower has made a crop he is entitled to all that it is worth, and it's poor business to de- prive himself of any portion of the profit by neglecting to observe few rules at digging time.
 Do not dig the potatoes before they are ripe unless the market is unusual ly strong. Unripe potatoes bruise easily and decay quickly.
 Do not expose the potatoes to the hot sun after they are dug. If the pickers get behind. stop the diggers.
 Do not dig the crop when the ground is wet enough to cause the dirt to stick to the potatoes. A little dirt on the potatoes or in the bottom of the sack may cause a big loss to the seller.
 Do not put in scabby. sun burned. bruised or cut potatoes. A few of specimens may lower the selling price of the sack CT barrel ten per cent ano ruin the reputation of the grower.
 Grade potatoes according to size. Keep the small ones at home.

What Killed Methuselah?

Noahs grandfather, Methuselah. lived longer than anybody else.
 He lived to the ripe old age of 969.
 And still there is room to doubt whether he died of old age or not.
 Beginning at Genesis 5:25, we read that Methuselah was 1S7 when Noah was born.
 Lamech was Is2 when Noah was born.
 When Noah was born Methuselah was 369 years old.
 Lamech lived 595 years after the birth of Noah
 The flood came when Noah was GOO
 Lamech had been dead only five years.
 Adding 600 to 369 makes Methuse- lah 969 years old at the time of the food
 Methuselah happened to die at that age.
 The question is: Did Methuselah die just before the flood, or did the flood drown him ?
 At any rate, he lived longer than any other man; and if the flood hadn't come, perhaps he would still be liv- ing. Who knows 2--J. F. Hoffman in Judge.
