MISS MUMFORD MAY
HAVE INTENDED TO
KILL HARRY MARTIN
Continued from page /.

Martin saw service in France and
is said TO have been gassed. He was
sent here by the War Department in
March OF last year to take a vocational
course in agriculture. The University
of Delaware has a contract with the
government 10 provide the vocational
agriculture course to former service
men who were wounded or otherwise
injured through their service in the
army. He is about 2S years OF age and
is popular with the other rehahilita-
ton students.
The woman is said TO have claimed
that Martin was the father OF her l9-
months'-old child. Martin would not
admit this TO State Detective John
Moore. who investigated the case yes
terday afternoon, but did say that he
paid $3.50 to Miss Mumford and that
she signed a paper releasing him from
any responsibility as to the child.
which is now said to be in Lebanon
at the home of relative of Martins.
where the woman left the child when
she came 10 Newark. The payment
OF this money is said TO have been the
result OF Miss Mumford having Mar
tin arrested in Lebanon over a year
ago.
/ Ii is now generally believed that
Miss Mumford came to Newark with
the intention of killing Martin. He is
known TO have received a telegram,
said TO have been from a woman rela-
tive OF his in Lebanon, warning him
that Miss Mumford was coming TO
Newark and had threatened TO kill
him. This relative. said TO be a niece.
also said in the telegram that Miss
Mumford had left the child with her
and that she said she was after re-
venge. Last night. several hours after
Miss Mumford committed suicide Mar
tin received a special delivery letter
from his mother, also warning him
that the woman was on her way to
Newark: that she had purchased q
revolver and had threatened to kill
him.
Arrived In Newark Yesterday.
Miss Mumford arrived in Newark at
1880 o'clock yesterday morning over
the Pennsylvania railroad and went
direct to the Rehabilitation building
in a bus. She went to the office of r.
NJ. Upton. director Of the division. and
inquired for Martin. Miss Evelyn
Crow. a clerk. was in the office at the
time and she sent for Martin. He left
the office I'm conversation with the wo-
man.
After talking a short time TO Miss
MumforG Martin says he told her he
had 10 take an examination and left
her. He claims that she suggested tina,
he return to her and that he said be
would not as he was married. She told
him, Martin said. when he left, thai
she would wait until his examination
was over. He then entered the elias.

that she was still waiting left TIL,

FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE

Quality of Meat.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.l
More than 4O,OOO,OOO pounds of gar
bage-fed pork is produced annually
throughout the United States from the
feeding of table scraps and hotel
refuse. Heretofore difficulties have
been experienced in the economical
and satisfactory disposal of city gar
bage. The United States Department
Of Agriculture points out that the
use of municipal garbage for the pro-
ductiOn of pork offers suitable method
for disposal of these waste products
and has permitted the repletiOn Of
our pork supplies at low cost.
Garbage which Is fed to hogs must
be collected with reasonable frequency
and be free from tin cans, soap,
broken glass, and other undesirable
or injurious foreign materials. 1t is
desirable always for cities to make
garbage collections and then dispose
Of 1t to individuals, associations, or
corporations on contract basis, un-
less the city operates it's own hog
feeding farm.
Longtime contracts. are likely to
be most satisfactory to all concerned;
besides they effect the use of better
class of equipment and better sanitary
conditions. The pigs or shOtes to be
fed may be bought as feeders or may
be raised on the feeding farm. The
latter method gives much more salts
factory results. Methods Of feeding,
handling, housing, and care may differ
considerably so long as the essentials
of sanitation and hog comfort are OBJ
served.
Equipment for feeding should be
adapted to the type of garbage avail
able and to local conditions, climate,
and transportation. AS rule, raw
garbage Is preferable to cooked gar
bage for the use Of hogs. In case the
weather should be so cold that the gar
bage freezes, it is advisable to thaw it
before feeding. Generally the use Of
grain as supplementary feed for the
garbage is not an economical practice,
but it must be provided when the
supply of garbage is temporarily short.
Hogs which are to be fed garbage
should be immunized against cholera
by the double or simultaneous treat

zatiOn is very important because of the

sioner of the Department OF Public
Safety, has mounted a large proper
ton of his men on motorcycles and is
shifting these squads about from coun-
ty to county as need arises so that
those who use the highways may know
that they are always likely to run in
to a state trooper and to be reproved
or arrested in case they are violating
the laws.
Complaints had come from many
parts OF the state OF criminally reck-
less driving which menaced the lives
and property of persons using the
highways. The districts from which
these complaints had come were Wis.
tied first. 1t was discovered that the
complaints were well-grounded. While
the motorists In the sections where
state police detachments are located
permanently were generally amen
able to the law, other sections which
had not been regularly patrolled re-
quired strict attention.
1t is the policy of the state police
to warn drivers first, unless their Of
fense is very fragrant and dangerous,
and only to make arrests in extreme
cases or after previus warnings had
been disregarded. Notwithstanding
this policy, 1t was necessary to make
1876 arrests under the motor laws In
June. or these IS were Of drivers who
were intoxicated. In these latter cases
the fines varied from $50 to $100
There were also many arrests of truck
drivers who had disobeyed or ignored
the laws.
Altogether, 398 arrests for all crimes
were made in May and there were
convictions in $50 cases while Is COM
plants were dismissed and 135 cases
were pending at the end Of the month.
Fines totalled $2,547.95 and costs OF
$795.51 were collected.
Enforcement of the prohibition law
resulted in the seizure OF 143 gallons
