capitalist press as "a burly West In
dian Negro who owns a hand laundry
at 1876 Wyckoff Ave, Brooklyn"
Police are holding Thomas as suspect
in the murder of three little girls
during the last several years in the
Bushwick and Bedford sections Of
Brooklyn.
A visit to 1876 Wyckoff Ave, Brook
Ign, by the Daily" reporter revealed
that the hand-laundry is owned not
by Thomas, but by a Chinese, Wah
On, who cannot read one word Of
English. IN describing the seizure of
the Negro, the New York capitalist
press told how he was traced to his
laundry"
The New York Evening Post pub
lished an elaborate story of how the
Negro was arrested. Thomas was
cornered twice by the police, but
managed to escape" the Post wrote.
He was finally traced to his laun-
dry, where, after terrific struggle,
he was overpowered and taken to the
Butler Street Police Precinct"
Despite these persuasive details,
neither Wah On, the laundryman nor
a large number of neighbors inter-
viewed, saw either the police chase
or the arrest
Fail To Identify Alfred
On Tuesday the police plot to frame
a Negro for alleged attacks upon wo-
men in Central Park Sunday received
a severe setback when four women
apd five men failed to identify Alvin
Alfred. a 25-year-old Negro as the
"assailant"
Alfred had been accused of being
the human gorilla" sought for COM
uniting the alleged attacks in Gen.
trail Park and the entire metropolitan
press devoted columns of space luridly
describing the Negro.
He was almost lynched at the 23rd
st. subway station when he was
charged with having attempted to
assault a woman there.
Although the failure of the nine
persons to identify Alfred indicated
that he was simply picked up as a
result of the determination of the
police to get victim, the author
tiles are nevertheless proceeding to
hook a criminal assault charge upon
him. He was therefore held without
bail by Magistrate Dodge in the JEFF
ferson Market Court for a hearing
next Tuesday on the complaint Of
Mrs. Bertha Carroll, 81, of I'll Clinton
ST., Brooklyn, after he had entered
a plea of not guilty.
During the past week at least II
Negroes have been attacked by MODS,
and some of them have narrowly
avoided being lynched. On Sept. 9
Joseph Whitlock of 105-06 153th ST.,
Jamaica, L. l., was nearly lynched
by a gang who charged him with
window peeping." A clothesline was
dangled before him after he was muir
derously beaten. Members of a near
by Democratic Club took an active
Part in the attack upon the Negro.
Whitlock is now under arrest in
Kings County Hospital. He was crit
ically injured from the effectS of the

peat is applied on sandy soils from
which water drains away rapidly, it
should be worked into the soil to a
depth Of about six inches to serve
as reservoir for retaining water
for plants in dry weather, In the
case of heavy clay soils the peat is
most effective when kept near the
surface to prevent the soil from
caking and forming hard crust
Vegetable crops require. readily
available plant food that can be
supplied by commercial fertilizer
furnishing sufficient nitrogen to
promote a quick vigorous growth
and enough phosphoric acid and
potash to give strong producing
plants. The growth of previous
crops affords some indication of the
soils fertilizer requirements. A
rank stalk and leaf growth with
small yields from fruit and seed
producing plants indicates too much
nitrogen and deficiency of phos-
phoric acid and potash. Leafy
crops such as lettuce, cabbage, and
spinach respond to heavier appli-
cation of nitrogen than is generally
required for other garden plants A
fertilizer of the formula 6.8-6 is
satisfactory for light-colored, sandy
textured soils For dark -colored
clay or clay loan soils at 4-12-4 fer
tilizer will supply necessary plant
food. The fertilizer should be
broadcast at the rate of from 20 to
so pounds per 1000 square feet af-
ter the soil is plowed or spaded and
worked into the soil when it is fit
ted for planting.

Improving Garden Soils

One of the chief difficulties with
numerous garden soils examined is
bad physical condition due to a de-
ficiency of organic matter. The inn
portance of maintaining liberal
supply of organic matter in soils
used for garden and, truck crops
cannot be overemphasized. says j.
w. Ames, soil chemist at the Ohio
experiment station. Organic mat
ter increases the ,water-holding ca
pacity of light-textured sandy soils
and acts as a disintegrating agent
In making clay soils more loose and
friable, thereby eliminating much
of the labor required in cultivating
compact soils. Organic matter can
be supplied by manure, peat. or veg
etable residues.
Peat has been used as satisfac-
tory substitute for the organic mat
ter supplied by manure. which is
now, generally mot obtainable. When

Real Estate Pays Big Taxes

Owners of real estate~in Ohio are
paying an income tax on their
property that takes 81 out of every
So they receive, according to DR.. Fl.
III. Davis of Ohio State university.
Home owners, farmers and other
owners of real property are being
taxed what amounts to 33 1870
income tax, he estimates. In many
cases where the land is unproduc-
tive, this is resulting in an actual
confiscation of this source OF
