LONDON, May 29.-Horatio Bot
tomley, former editor of John Bull"
and almost as widely known among the
British masses as Premier Lloyd
George, was convicted this afternoon
of misappropriating funds he col
lected in the shape of premium war
bonds. The jury spent only few
minutes in reaching a verdict after
trial which lasted a fortnight. He
was sentenced to seven years penal
servitude.
The Bottomley case, one of the most
sensational of recent years in Eng
land, opened last autumn when Bot
tomley prosecuted case of criminal
libel against former employee named
Bigand after the latter had charged
the editor of "John Bull" with swim
ding the public through his various
war long schemes. Bottomley was
then a Member Of Parliament and
continued to hold his seat through
out the trial. He had large follow
ing among that section of the British
public which opposes everything Amer
lean, and through his newspaper he
fed that sentiment of hatred to the
utmost by making all sorts of sensa-
tonal attacks.
Frequently in Courts
In prosecuting the case against Big
land, Bottomley refused to take the
stand, and Immediately thereafter the
government prosecutor began to weave
a net about him. The editor politician
had figured in many cases of the kind
before but always had escaped prose
cution. On several occasions he put
in plea of bankruptcy when hard
pressed in civil actions. The story of
his trial occupied much space in the
press and his conviction caused great
sensation because of the charmed
life" he seemed to bear when under
legal fire.
Bottomley conducted his own case
with great skill, but the prosecutor
was able to show that he misappropri-
ated large sums intrusted to- him
Most of the money came from poor
people who read his paper, which
boasted circulation of 100000. Dur
ing the war the editor made great
was proved during the trial that he
was we'll paid even for his speeches.
While in Parliament he was always
exceedingly hostile to the Americans
and it was also his boast that he first
applied the word "Hun' to the Ger.

Man Falls III Stories,

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

GREENSBURG, Pa, May 29.-Plung-
ing eleven stories to the ground from
the top of the Penn Albert Hotel here
at 1880 o'clock to-day, Graham C.
Reihl, thirty-six years old, was picked
up and. although slightly dazed, was
found to be uninjured.
Reihl was working as a plasterer on
the top floor of the building, which is
nearly completed, when he lost his bal

Authorities at the Westmoreland
Hospital, where the man was taken, say
that no bones were broken and he is
not injured internally.
BALLSTON SPA, N. Y. May 20
Two accidents saved the life of Frank

to-day. He was at work on a steel
tower. when he fell against highly
charged wire. The force of the fall
broke the wire and prevented electro
cution.
The lineman started rapidly for the
hard earth, but his heel caught IN the
lattice work Of the supporting tower
and he hung suspended. He was re-
leased some time later. upset but un-

Governor Miller, said to be the first
Governor of the state to visit Staten
Island since Colonial days, made a
tour of the borough yesterday and de-
livered an address last night at the
New Brighton Athletic Club, at Port
Richmond, in which he urged the pso-
pie Of Staten Island to exert their in
fluence toward harmony between the
Board of Estimate and the Transit
Commissos.
In that, he said, lay Staten Islands

judged after a motor trip around the
island, was the most earnest desire of
the borough

the city administration will cooperate

SIT around table with the Transit
Commissioners as they have been in
vlted to do and will consider any plan
which they have to propose and then
in their united wisdom, will agree upon
some plan, there is no reason under the
sun why the dirt should not be fying
before fall in the construction of this
tunnel"
The Governor spoke of the new City
piers which he had seen during his
trip around the island and said he
doubted the wisdom of building such
costly structures before the entire
transportation plan for the island had
been decided upon With the piers
where they are now, he said, freight

subway, but would have to be liphtered

That he was not afraid of being ac-
cused of failure was evident in his sole
reference to politics, which he made

hers of the Young Mems Republican
Club, who sat together at the right of
the hall.

Staten Islanders Deceived
Then he launched into his transit
talk. The people of Staten Island had
been deceived, he said; the Board Of
Estimate and the city administration
were playing politics. There was little
hope OF getting subway to Staten
Island, he said. unless the Board of
Estimate would cooperate with the
Transit Commiss ion.

He was startled, but he did not

There had been comparatively few
people on the sunny street moment

out in the swift, shallow stream and

case of Horatio Bottomley to-day the
Judge in the Central Criminal Court
pointed out that the jurors must dis
miss from their minds the defendants
appeal regarding work he had done for
soldiers and must consider cold facts
and determine whether the money he
had obtained was used fraudulently.
"He might we'll hope to repay it,"
the judge said, "but that is neither
here nor there. There is no errand
boy who steals shilling from a till
but hopes by some lucky chance to
replace it,"

Straw Crop Worth Mil
lion and Half a. Soil
Builder

Five hudred thousand tons Of straw
worth $500 a ton. n n total Of ST.
SOC, 900. for building up soils results
from Kentucky's annual wheat crop.
according TO r. r. Stephenson, soils
specialist Of the College Of Agricul-
ture. Some idea Of the value Of this
material Is to be gained from the
fact that straw stacks In Kentucky
hold more than half rs much plant
food as all the commercial fertilizers
that farmers Of the stat. buy. A ton
Of Il Is worth more for building up
farm lands an dmaking big crop yields
than ton Of manure.
"The best way to make use Of this
straw IL to put Il in stables where II
will soak up liquid manure and thus
save an enormous amount Of plant
food that ordinarily IL wasted. Since
straw has as much plant food in ii
as stable manure. the quality Of ma
nure Is not lowered by liberal use Of
straw for bedding. After the straw
has been tramped in the stable and
thoroughly mixed with the droppings
Of the animals, the plant food that
IL contains can be used more rapidly
by growing crops. II is wasteful TO
let straw stacks rot and make only
small patches Of land richer and at
the same time take up valuable crop
producing space. Even II all the
straw Is produced in the state were
used for bedding. il would not be
enough to keep all stables and feed
sheds well bedded with the present
number Of live stock being raised in
the state.
"The chief difference between
straw and manure as far as Soil i'm
provement is concerned lies in the
fact that straw is hard ad woody and
decays slowly. The plant food that
Il contains, therefore. can be used
only at solw rate by growing crops.
On the other hand, about half the
fertility in stable manure is quickly
available with the result that manure
makes better showing when used
on crops
Good farmers preserve the straw
on their farms by baling IL or stack
ing IL carefully. A good method for
stacking baled straw is to rick the
bales and top the rick with small
amount Of loose straw. When II is
well preserved in the stack, straw
will furnish considerable rough feed
while the refuse that IL left makes
first class bedding"
