on her pig farm to-day going about her
usual work. She said she knew moth
ing TO be added TO her former story. and
that investigators had left her alone
for some time.
Letters to the local newspaper con-
tinue TO call for definite action. One
signed "A Lover Of Justice" says that
although level headed citizens have no
doubt that the authorities In charge OF
the investigation have done the best
they could. they nevertheless should be
supplanted by more capable men. The
writer also suggests the retirement OF
Wilbur A. Mott. Special Prosecutor. and
insists that Ellis Parker, the famous
New Jersey detective. be brought into
the case.
Meanwhile services are being held as
usual in the Church of ST. John the
Evangelist. Of which the Rev. Mr.. Hal.

NOTES SHOW BRITISH
AIDED GREEK ARMY
Secret Correspondence Leaks
Out in Paris Through Friend
Of GOunaris.

Special Gable to THE New York HERALD.
Copyright, 1899, bp THE NEw YORK HERALD
ATHENS. Dec. 17.--The revolutionary
Government is more embarrassed than
Lord CurEon. the British Foreign Sec
retary. over disclosures of secret dipio-
matte correspondence showing British
participation In expeditions against Con-
stantinople and Asia Minor which cul-
minated in the Greek military disaster.
The documents are gradually leaking
out in Paris through the instrumental
ity of friend of the executed former
Premier Gounaris. The British here
made every effort to get them from
Gounaris and later to prevent their pub
lcation.
F. o. Lindley. the British representa-
tive. in an interview with the revolu-
tionary Government. finally presented
a sort of utimatum that the lives OF
former Ministers should be spared At
the same time Mr.. Lindley attempted to
induce Gounaris to disclose where he had
hidden the British documents, which
Gounaris clung TO tenaciously for his
own defense.
The revolutionary tribunal, familiar
lied with the contents Of the letters to
Gounaris nevertheless condemned the
Ministers TO death. charging Gounaris
with criminal folly in undertaking mill
tary operations that were bound to fail.
A telegram from Venizelos to the revo-
lutionary Government says "Curzon has
shown me a telegram from Lindley
Curzon looked furious. but my position
is extremely difficult because of my
principle not to meddle in Greek poll
tics. / take the liberty, however to
counsel greater moderation In the fu-
ture."
Col Plastiras. head Of the revolution
ary committee, denied that Venizelos had
sent a telegram during the fortnight be-
fore the execution forbdding or advising
against the wholesale execution.

Seven survivors of the wreck reached

Hotbeds and Cold Frames En-.

OPERATIONS STARTED EARLIER.
Beds May BE Utilized Throughout
Spring and summer-They Are
inexpensive and Easily opsr-
Ventilation Essent ial.

(Prspared by the United States Department
.z552a of Asriculture.) 49,
Hotbeds and cold frames enable the
home gardener TO slengthen the grow
ing season for his crops. With them
he can start his operations q few
weeks in advance Of the last chilly
days Of spring, before which It is not
possible to plant out Of doors.
Throughout the spring and summer
these beds may be utilized, and afte!
the first fall frost they furnish pro-
tection for late vegetables. They are
inexpensive and easily operated, say
garden specialists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. !.
.rs Making Hotbsd Sash.
Standard hotbed sash are 3 by 6
feet, and it is customary to make q
home garden hotbed with one. two, or
more sash, according to the size Of
bed desired. Select well protected
and thoroughly y-drained spot, dig a
pit 12 to 18 inches deep and a little
larger than the bed Is to be made.
Throw the good top soil to one side,
For two-sash bed about one good
wagonload Of fresh horse.stab1e ma
nure will be. required. The manure
should be thrown in a fiat pile few
feet away from where the bed is to
be constructed and the pile turned
about twice at intervals Of three or
four days. AS, it is turned the outer
portion Of the pile is thrown to the
middle and the inner portion to the
outside, in order to get uniform heat
ing throughout. Then put the manure
into the pit, each forkful being shaken
to break it apart and spread It even.
". It should be well tramped. Put
In a layer about inches deep, then
another layer, treading each until the,
pit has been filed level with the
ground. It should be, just moist
enough to pack reasonably solid, but
springy under the feet. b.
The frame Of the bed, made Of wood
Is then set on. top Of the manure and
the earth from the bottom Of the pit
banked up outside oftthe frame to, keep
out tie cold. The north side Of the
frame should be 6 inches higher than

the packed manure. It is q good plan
to mix a little well-rotted manure with
this soil. 5.5..... II. sjs.ss &.
Put the sash on and leave the bed
to heat for several days. First the
manure will become. very hot, then
after two or three days it will grad
ually. cool. The temperature will then
remain more moderate. No seeds
should be planted until the temper
ature Of the soil has fallen below 50
degrees. Use a Thermometer the bulb
of which is buried about inches deep
in the soil. Feeling the bed with the
hand is not reliable method of TAX
ing the temperature. Have piece
of old carpet or a burlap mat to throw
over the sash for protection on ex-
trenely cold nights.
Care of tiotbeds.
Hotbeds. must be watched during
bright weather to prevent them be-
coming too warm, as the sun shining
directly on the glass soon brings the
temperature above that suitable for
the growing Of plants. 55s
ventilation is provided by propping
the sash up at one side or the other
according to the direction Of the wind.
Have the wind blow over the opening
and not directly into the bed.
Cold frames are hotbeds minus ar
tiflciAl heat-simply sash-covered
frames with no pit under them but
banked upon the outside to keep out
the cold. They are useful for grow
inx plants that have been started in
hOtbeds, and for hardening plants to
ret them IN condition to plant in the
garden. Sometimes bed about 1211s

hotbed sash lis divided into two parts
