POTATO CROP IS i NOT DESTROYED
Fears That Recent Bliz- gard Had Killed PrOduc-
 ton Are Now Averted

Houlton, Me, oct 19-CUP)- The recent pre-winter blizzard which swept New England caused relatively slight damage to Maine's bumper potato crop, United Press survey revealed today.
 Fears that serious losses-per- haps affecting nearly one-fifth of Maine's crop-would result from the unreasonable snowstorm were allayed when mild weather came in the blizzard's wake.
 Aroostook county. of which Houlton is the county seat, is the largest. potato growing country in the nation.
 Eighty-five percent of Maine's 1894 crop, estimated at more than 53,00O.000 bushels. had been dug before the storm. The New Eng land crop reporting service said to- day that not much of the remain ing 1 5per cent appeared affected by the snow.
 In northern Aroostsook 15 inches of snow fell, while in the southern area around Houlton the fall ap- proximated eight inches. Because of the mild weather which fol. lowed, however, the snow melted quickly and there was none on the ground today.
 The ground did not freeze and the storm merely delayed the dig ging of the crop for few days.

Good Time in Jail and Didn't Want ,WOrk-He

White Plains, N. r., Oct 19- (UP)-Bodily evicted from the "Alimony club'' of Westchester county jail. Joseph Ponchurak of Yonkers mournfully resumed work today to the great joy of his es- tranged wife Anna. She had him locked up more than a month ago but discovered he liked the special alimony prison so we'll he meant to stay there.
 Reveling in handball games, sun baths, free meals and no toll, Pom Churak refused to sign an agree ment under which his wife arr ranged his return to his old job and freedom at no cost to him. In fact he would get a months back salary, minus $180 his employer would pay her. why should want to leave?" he demanded.
 But faced with a court order and Warden George Casey bent upon hurling him out into the cruel world anyhow if he didn't sign, he sorrowfully parted with his club companions and went back to work.

NEW YORK COULD
 BE DESTROYED
Super Flying Boats Would Shatter That City in
 Few Minutes

Washington, Oct 19- (U.P.)- Super flying boats now being de- veloped could destroy New York City within a few minutes in time of war, Igor Sikorsky, airplane de- signer, told the federal aviation commission to-day. He said that these flying giants would drop bombs at the rate of five or six a second like a machine gun filings bullets, cutting great swaths of destruction across any city they at tack. Enemy airplane carries could ruin any American coastal city, he said, if they could approach 1000 miles offshore so that their flying weapons of destruction could take off.
 And if liquid hydrogen is de- veloped as fuel" he said, cit would be possible for a ship load ed with 10000 pounds of bombs to fly direct from Europe" Sikorsky said the only hope of combating such an attack would the develop ment of similar ships in this coun- try for battles against the enemy over mid-ocean. Peace-time de- velopment of super-passenger planes, he said, would go far to make this country impregnable during the next war.

White River Junction, Vt., Oct 19.-As a result of several counter felt ten dollar bills having been cir culated here last evening, Michael Romano of Waterbury, Conn.,, was before the Hartford municipal coudt this morning, charged with furnishing counterfeit money.
 Through his attorney, Samuel Crosby, he entered a plea of not guilty, and being unable to raise $5,000 bail, imposed by the court, he was committed to the county jail at Woodstock for later hear ing, and federal investigation.
 Early last evening, it is claimed Austin Findley of North Hartford attempted to pass a spurious ten dollar bill at the Surprise Depart ment store here, but the proprie- tor, Calman Colodny, detected the counterfeit, and refused to accept it, and immediately notified the To- cal police.
