TRAIL OF BLOOD LEFT

 Nj. Sunday
Management of Bradley Say Nothing
 Missing

4 trail of blood through the lobby and offices of the Bradley theatre showed plainly the actions of burg lar that entered the place early Sun day morning X light seen in the theatre office fixes the time of the break at about o'clock This light was seen by two men in MaheW' E res tauranl across Livery street < drop of blood on the electric light fixture in the ticket office of the theatre shows that the light had been turned on. An attempt to pull down the curtain in the office resulted in the curtain being dislodged This. it is believed. hurried the burglar from the place. Nothing so far as could be learned on cheek up by Jacob Albert of the S-A Amusement Com pany, was missing.
 Entrance was gained by breaking pane of glass in the door to the lobby on Front street A similar mode of entrance was used to get into the general office of the theatre. The door to the ticket office. where the blood stain shows the light was turned or. was left open us is the usual custom
 Cut His Hand
 l. Is believed that the burglar mus. have cut his hand quite seriously to leave such blood trail. A blood stain on Mir. Alpert's roll top desk showed that the burglar had attempt ed to raise the cover. There was no great effort used in trying 10 roll the cover back for it would have been an easy matter to force the lock.
 A t.A4A #Fs An 5Tfu slide used in the moving picture ma chine was taken from the top of the stenographer's desk and torn in two and was found on the floor in the tick ct office. The window curtain in the office was also on the floor. The door from the ticket office into the theatre had been forced. As far as could be learned the burglar made his exit in the same manner as his entrance. It is believed that whoever went into the theatre was familiar with his sur lroundings.
 Saw Light
 It was around ( o'clock that Mark Wilson, night watchman at the mill of the National Rhea Company. went | e Mathews restaurant on Livery street | for his breakfast Mir. Wilson uotic- led a light in the theatre office across Ithe way and remarked about it. John l Ferns. who works in the restaurant also saw the light.
 There is no evidence to show that Iany attempt was made to open the safe Had the cover of the roll top l desk been lifted the burglar would i have found S450 exposed le his view. . < tin box on a high shelf in the thea Ire box office containing small amount of change was overlooked. This was the only available money for i burglars unless the safe was forced.
 During Sunday the police rounded up a number of suspects and question ed them but allowed them to 20. Sun day night Joseph Belair was sum. moned to the police station for qges- itioninR He maintained that he had no knowledge of the burglary but was locked up and Monday morning was held in bonds of $500 for hear. ing at q later date.

HORTICULTURE GIVES ADVICE
ON PLANTING TREES.

Fruit trees may be planted in the
fall or spring, states DR.. ii. Il knoWl-
ton of the Horticultural Department
of West Virginia University. In most
parts of West Virginia the winters
are mild and wood injury rarely oc-
ours. Fall planting is preferable to
spring planting in these localities be-
cause the trees have a chance to get
established before the droughts of
early summer come. Generally con-
siderable root growth takes place in
late fall and early spring, so that by
the time the leaves unfold the tree
has already made its connections
with the soil water and drying out
and death seldom occurs.
Trees planted in the spring often
heave out before the roots start.
Such trees dry out and die. 1t must
be remembered that newly planted
tree must form new roots and root
hairs befoe it can take up any con-
siderable amount of water. With
this in min d one can see what a
great advantage the fall planted tree
has over the one planted m the
spring. Generally considerable NOR
tality occurs with spring planted
sweet and sour cherry trees. Ex-
.perience has shown that with these
species fan planting almost entirely
prevents this loss.
A number of years ago the Expert
ment Station planted a block of
cherries in the spring. Practically
none of them lived. The next year
the block was replanted but planting
was made in the fall. Very few died.
In this latitude some winters are SO
mild that planting can be done in
mld-wlnter. Planting made at this
time are Just as successful as those
made in late fall
Regardless of the time of planting,
growers who are thinking of setting
more trees should order their trees
as soon as possible. 1t is probably
more important if the trees are to
be planted in late November or earlv
December, but even if shipment is
not to be made until spring the buy
er will now have better choice of
varieties and grades.
As to the grade of tree to buy.
the larger sizes of one-year old tree
should be selected regardless of the
KIND of fruit. Vigor in a one-year
tree generally indicates a good union
and a strong growing stock One
year trees are cheaper in price than
t"o-year trees, generally make more
growth the first year, and come into
bearing Just as early. The buver
Of one-year trees has also the addi-
tlonal advantage of being able To
start the trees at the right height
and select his scaffold branches.

SoYBEANS FOR SEED SHOULD

Some farmers have found the

ment Station at Morgantown. Small

On Saturday, September Il, bob
bling I'D and down from a ship an
chored off Rockaway Beach, New
York, there hove into sight a long
string Of black casks. Fastened to
the nearest one was a rope, the other
end Of which was attached to a huge
winch in shore. Round and round
wound the winch until at II :03 a. m,
there was dragged UP on land the
worlds fastest cable, laid by the
Western Union, which will afford ad-
ditional communication between New
York and London. The cable spans
the Atlantic from Bay Roberts, New
foundland, to Penzance, England,
and with its capacity of $500 letters
per minute, will be eight times as
fast as any of the other cables con-
Meeting these two points.
It's great speed is due to the fact
that it is sheathed in permalloy, an
alloy of iron and nickel delevoped
by the Western Electric Company. A
single continuous strip of this alloy
is wrapped around the entire length
Of $500 nautical miles of the copper

wrapped with permalloy, which gives
the speed, was made by the Tele-

manufacture of deep sea cables.
The Company was formed for the
Taving of the first cable, which was
completed in 1866, following, the
failure Of Cyrus Fields first Atlantic
cable in 1855. The construction OF
this modern cable is one Of the great.
est inventions of modern science OF
communication. The deep sea sec
tion Of the cable laid by the Western
Union is only an inch in diameter.
An examination Of a cross section
shows It to be composed OF NUMBER
of distinct parts. consisting of differ
ent materials. The innermost Sec
ton of this slender line of COM
munication is the copper conductor,
a round wire not quite one-titth OF
an inch in diameter. This carries
the current which passes through
the cable.
This strand connecting the old
World will be the ninth to be operat-
ed by the Western Union, and IS the
result of a growing demand for IN
creased facilities for TRANSATLANTIC
communication.
With the Improvement in cables
there came a reduction in rates. In
1886 it cost 500 to send 20 words
to Europe. Today, the cost of a
message is from S1.20 to $3.50, de-
