WHY Plants Bend Toward Sun

Plants bend toward the sun, says
the Smithsonian Institution, because
the sides of plants getting the most
light grow the least. Plants lean
toward their shorter sides, just as
a person would lean to the left if
his left leg were shorter than his
right. The Institution thus concludes
that darkness, as well as light, is
essential to plant growth. But sum
light does its part. 1t makes plants
green, pleasant to see.

Why We Say Shows .sWhite Feather

We say Of a coward that he Shows
'the white feather" Why a feather,
and why white? In the days of cock
fighting the pure-bred game cock

feather in his tail. AS the slightest

the cocks gameness, those with
white feather were never trained

WOMAN KILLER
MUST DIE

NEW YORK, Feb. IL GN.sD.
Major Green, Negro slayer of
Mrs. Mary Harriet Case of Jack

electric chair today.
A jury at Long Island city found
the 33-year-old porter guilty of
murder in the first degree. and
sentence of death, under the law,

exactly one month after the muir
der and he will be sentenced a
week from today
That Green killed Mrs. Case
was admitted by his counsel, but
they endeavored to obtain a con-
vlction of seCond-degree murder
on the ground that the crime was
not premeditated and that the
Negro was not aware of his ac-
tons after he hit his victim with
a hammer when she objected to
the manner in which he was
washing the windows in her apart
ment. 1t was learned the jury

Son Of Doctor Who Set Booths Leg and
Veteran District Policeman Is
Retcent on Dread Subject

A retired policeman sat in a
m Oldest Northeast Washington
home today and read again a
famous story-the story of Abe
Lincoln, born 1913 years ago this
February II. AS he read, the old
mans memory quickened and re-
cited wordlessly more tragic hap
penings than all history has ever
recorded.
To neighbors and. friends this old
gentleman is loved and respected
as Edward Mudd. retired Washing
ton policeman, who gave Is years
of his life in faithful service to
District citizens. He is known by
only few as the son of DR.. Samuel
Mudd. the Maryland country doc
tor" who innocently aided John
Wilkes Booth in his shortlived
flight after the latter had fatally
shot President Lincoln.
Sore Family Subject
Today he told a reporter (but
it is only the surface Of the story,
because he remains too reserved
to talk of the affair.":
"SOme of the Chillren there
are four of DIR. Mudd's daugh-
ter's living) want people to quit
thinking about the Mudd family
and its connection with the
death Of that great President,
Abraham Lincoln.
Il tell them, though, that peo-
pie will always remember our
father as long as the name of
Abe Lincoln lives in the history
books. After all, we have moth.
ing over which to be bitter or
ashamed"
Edward Mudd, who was not born
until after his father had been
pardoned from a 99-year prison
term. knows only what he has read
in books and what his mother told
him about the tragic assassination.
DR.. Mudd, who died when Edward
was only II years old, never dis
cusSed the event with the children,
he said.
Treated InnOcently
It is the story of the family'S
suffering during DR.. Mudd's i'm
priSonment; their efforts to prove
DR.. Mudd innocent of any connec-
ton with the death plot, that Ed
ward Mudd does not speak of, but
these are the memories that
course through his mind. He
closed the interview with:

tor would have done. The man

PLANE CRASH
PROBE BEGUN
BY CORONER

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. II
GNSD.-A coroner's inquest was
ordered today in the case of Tues
days mysterious plane crash
which claimed II lives.
While Coroner William Crosby,
of nearby San Mateo county, was
marshalling small army of wit
nesses for the inquest, three other
official agencies we're studying
the evidence and grapplers were
seeking the bodies Of seven miss.
ing passengers.
1t was feared that the seven
might have been swept to sea by
the swiftly ebbing tide of San
Francisco Bay, into which the
huge United Air Lines luxury
liner plunged about a mile ana a
quarter from the San Francisco
Municipal Airport, its destination
on a flight from Los Angeles.
Cause a Puzzle
Cause of the crash puzzled eX-
perts, who pointed out that the
weather Tuesday night was ordI-
nary, the airport floodlighted and
the plane-one of the new 2l-pas-
senger models just placed in
service-apparently was in per-
feet condition.
Pilot A. r. Tommy" Thomp-
son, in constant radio communl-
cation with the airport, zoomed
for the landing. apparently decided
he was too high. Make right
turn ~ut over the bay to cut down
his landing speed-and then the
disaster occurred.
The bodies of Thompson, of CO.
Pilot Joseph de Cesaro and of
SteWardesS Ruth Kimmel were
found in the plane, drowned. That
of Mark S. Fontana, millionaire
San Francisco manufacturer, was
found later. Far from the plane,
he also had drowned. apparently
after a desperate attempt to reach
shore.
Probe Underway
Crosby said:
II intend to make this inquest
most thorough. l shall subpoena
officials of the United Air Lines,
employees of the airport and wit
nesses who searched for the
bodies"
Meanwhile, six high officials of
the air lire we're making their own
investigation.
Bodies Hunted
DR.. Joseph M DALAI, who per-
formed the autopsy on Fontanas
body, reported Fontana's false
teeth were still in his mouth when
the body was found. He said:
This indicates he was not re-
Iaxed when death came. If he
had been killed outright his
muscles would have been relaxed
and his teeth would have fallen
out"
Five Coast Guard cutters con-
tinued to rake the bottom of the
bay today with graphing hooks
for the missing bodies. They found
nothing but a set of blue prints
of the plane and a woman's stock
ing.
The stocking possibly was from
the suitcase of Miss Gertrude Gren-
nan, only woman passenger.

week was Henry Walters, law stud
ent at Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, a son of H. M. Walters, a char

cussed the proposed change in the Su-
preme Court, and his speech revealed
an opposition stand. He evinced a
familiar acquaintance with his sub
ject, handled with clear and impress
i've English, and his effort was, in
deed, most creditable. He received the
hearty congratulations of the members
who predict for him a most successful
career if his speech can be taken as
citerion of what is to come.
Other guests of the evening were
Rev. ]. w. Wootten, pastor of Salem
M. E. Church, this city; Colonel w.
B. Tilghman and Marvin Smith of

FARMERS URGED
TO FILE THEIR
WORK SHEETS
Those Who Did Not Take Part
In Farm Program Last
Year Have Chance

Farmers who did not take part in
the farm program last year and who
desire to participate in the 1887 Ag-
rictultural Conservation Program, are
urged to file work sheets for their
farms right away by G. z. Keller,
County Agent for Somerset county.
He emphasizes that farmers who
participated in the program last year
need not file work sheets this year,
if they are operating the same farms.
However, if any change has been made
in the size of the farm, or if the pro-
Queer is operating different farm in
1887, he should notify the county of
flee Immediately of such change.
Mr.. Keller states that under the
program this year the county office
will furnish each farmer a statement
giving information by which the farm
er can determine early in the season
approximately the amount of payment
that can be earned on his farm. In
order to prepare this information in
time to be of greatest value, it is i'm
portant to have the work sheets early,
from which can be obtained the acre
age of each crop and the land use on
the farm in 1886.
