Wards Counsel
Give Police Pistols
CONTINUED from mage one)

Ward has resigned as police
commissioner of New Rochelle,
maintaining silence concerning the
nature of the blackmail threat
which he asserted had lead up to
his shooting Of Peters.
In the early part of yesterday
the only word that came from
Ward sources was a denial of the
report that he would resign I'M
der fire. Shortly before his attor-
ney notified the New Rochelle au-
thorities that his resignation was
iii the mail, a man close to the
Wards told the army of reporters
modified here that they might as
well go home, as "the family had
the case sewed up tighter than a
drum" n
When this was repeated to Dist.
Atty. Weeks of Westchester
county, who asserted that he had
not swallowed "hook, line and
sinker", the story told by Ward
Of having fired in self-defence, he
pounded the table in front of him
and roared:
"Sewed up, Ell? Well, let me
set you fellows right. Nobody can
deliver us. We're going through
with this thing, running down
every possible angle"

MIDDLEBUKY JUDGE
HAS TROUSERS
BURNED OFF

1t is told for fact that
Judge Fred NJ. Foote of Mid
dlebury lighted his pipe on a
recent morning, put his UNI
brella under his arm and started
downtown,
He had not proceeded far
before he began to spontane-
ously conbust and things be-
gan to happen.
A woman whose house he
was passing notified him that
his clothing was on fire.
1t was. A backward glance
showed him that his coat.
trousers and umbrella were all
ablaze.
The Judge threw himself
into high, dashed his umbrella
into the street, hastily shed his
coat and vest and went to
beating out the flames on his
shirt sleeves and trousers.
His left thigh was badly
bhstered and his trousers were
ruined. His coat. too, was too
badly damaged to be of furth-
er use.
The Judge must have been
thinking about the judicial sar-
aries Of Vermont that are not
to be paid until just before the
Fourth of July, because the
appropriation for that depart
ment has been exhausted. 1t
is safe to say that when the
Judge gets his back pay he will
not fire it in on fireworks.

Careful Crossing Campaign

"Tha startling increase IN the num-
her of accidents on railroad crossings
has made it necessary to make
nation-w wide effort to educate the
public in becoming more cautious
through a Careful Crossing Campaign,
carried out by the Safety Section of
the American Railway Association"
says F. A. Lehman, of Amarillo, Tex
as, General Manager of Western Lines
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa fe
Railroad Company.
"Peoplc hurry along and often fail
to notice signals and warnings when
appro aching railroad crossings con-
tinued Mr.. Lehman. He cites a recent
case on his territory to illustrate this.
"On June 2rd, two days after the
Campaign started, a Ford car struck
the forward end of the tender of the
first locomotive on a double header
special Shriner's train for California,
at a crossing in a town on the main
line Of the Santa Fe in Colorado. The
wigwag signal at that crossing was
operating, the train whistled for the
crossing and the train bell was ringing.
but the driver of the Ford car gave
no heed and h. the tender on the
crossing. OF the three men in the
ca, orc was instantly killed, another
died la,er, and the third was seriously
injured. The Coroner held an inquest
and rendered a verdict: Accidental
death by striking Santa Fe train"
"The precautions taken by the Santa
Fe Railway to protect this crossing
were Ct no avail, because the driver
of the car took no notice Of the signals
and warnings.
"Thc Santa Fe," added Mr. Lehman,
gives the up-keep of its track careful
attention and maintains the crossings
in good condition. Numerous auto
matte crossing Signals have been in
stalled for the protection of the people
using the public highways. By CO.
operation the public can aid in
reducing crossing accidents material
ly."

There were two circuits formed, one
in Iowa, and one in the this southwest
territory. The latter WIS the circuit
on which your own town now has a
Place. 1t was one of the first two

in the western part of the United
States, including Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tex
as, Colorado, New Mexico, and states
west.
First in Excellence
Not only is it a Premier or First
Circuit in point of history, but it is
the best circui. in type Of towns
served and in excellence of program
rendered.
There are many Chautauquas in the
whole United States. However, there
is none better, and there are only two

ance that you have the very best that

BIG CORN CROP FOR U. S.
FORECAST BY BUREAU

A great bumper corn crop of three
billion bushels was forecast by the De-
partment of Agriculture yesterday,
based on the highly favorable growing
conditions which prevailed during July,
the Associated Press states.
This will be the fourth time in the
history of the country that the corn
crop has reached such dimensions. The
hay crop is estimated at 93.100,000 tons,
surprising the record of 1919 by more
than a million tons.
White potatoes will show the second
largest crop on record. it is forecast.
the totA production being placed at
44o,ooo,0oo bushels, about two million
less bushels than in 1917. Sweet po-
tatoes also are expected to set record.
Tobacco will yield its fourth largest
crop, with total production of 1.425,-
600, 900 pounds. A large crop of apples,
200, 100000 bushels, is forecast. .
The weather during July was held
highly beneficial for the various crops,
practically all of them showing large
increases over the forecast made u
month before.

NOVELTIES SOUGHT MOST.

The feature of demand for women's

is the heavy call for unusual effects

year the business being done in
fancy smocks far exceeds that in the
tuxedos The ones most wanted are
made of worsted yarns, but those
composed of combinations of mohair
and fiber yarns are also selling well
in novel patterns in self and con-
trasting colors. Novelties in shapes,
as well as in colorings and patterns,
are also being shown here and being
taken fairly we'll Many of them,
however, are being bought chiefly for

FIXTURES WITH CRYSTALS.

Interest In lighting hxtures deco-
rated with crystals, which were in
vogue in colonial days, is reawaken-
ing. Business in this class of mer-
chandise has been expanding steadily
in the last several months. Although
the call for these articles comes
largely from wealthy people because
of the higher prices. a leading maker
reports the demand from the middle
class growing steadily. Amusement
places and hotels are also among users
Of fixtures embelished with crystals.
Anticipating a revival of demand. the
manufacturer recently went to
Czechoslovakia, where he ordered
large quantities of crystals. The fact
that imports have increased consid-
crably has induced Czechoslovakia
crystal makers to raise prices from
SO to rs per cent the last few months.
