THE WASHINGTON HERALD SUNDAY AUGUST 8 1900 I I 3 1I- T THAW TOLD TRUTH DECLARES JEROME Believes Evelyn Did Concoct Stanford White Story HE ACCEPTED IT AS District Attorney Asserts This Show- ed

for release from Mat teawan wero heard by Justice Mills In the Supreme Court hare today District Attorney Jorome occupied most of the morning session in setting forth tho reason why tho State believes Thaw Is at present a dangerous lunatic and not lit to be turned loose Charles Morschauser counsel for Thaw flllod the remainder of the morn- Ings session and one hour In tho after- noon with arguments fo r the release of tho slayer of Stanford White as ono cured ot his temporary Insanity The typical of this testimony your honor now before you Jerome saId Whoa taken as a whole that of both tho first and second murder trials applying to facts and not the opinions of experts roust be take to demon- strate tho truth of my belief that on neither trial was there a witness who deliberately falsified his testimonythat- Is with tho exception of one witness This exception Evelyn Thaw did I be- lieve deliberately and willfully falsify her testimony Believes She Told tho Story- I think she did tell her husband that story about her having been attacked by White under all the growsome clr cumetacccs that she detailed on tho stand and I believe Thaw really did ac- cept her story as truth I have no doubt of that fact whatever But it requires only a short experience of life to know that such stories of drugging and tho sequel are the stock of trade of women such as she All the evidence shows conclusively his predisposition to accept those storiesMi indisposition which to ire indicates mind weakened and an ab normal amount of credulity After thus scoring the woman who had been the spectacular witness on both UNIQUE STORY OF AN AEROPLANE AD Airship Accessory Invades tho Field of Newspaper Publicity with Good Results If any one should think that the airship is not with usrnow and that those com- modities which pertain to airships are not a present day fact let him read the want ad page of The Washington Herald The Best airship engine made is being ad vertised for sale in one of the new- est advertising ads Furthermore prompt deliv- eries are assured and yet further- more a buyer is for the patent of a still better airship en- gine Airship inventors should take note of the fact that there is now an engine manufactured especially- for airship purposes This engine weighs only three pounds per horse- power is selfaircooling selfmuf fling and has practically no vibra tion It is Claimed to be far supe- rior for airship purposes to the en gine used by the Wright brothers Had this engine been used at the recent tests at Fort Myer there would have been none of those ex- plosive sounds no necessity for a large water tank a sufficient saving- of weight to permit of pas senger or of Mr Taft as one pas senger a lack of vibration and other good effects such as increased speed It was designed and is man ufactured for purposes and is excellent evidence of the special- ization that is bein made in the modern gasoline engine Mr S J MacFarrcn 1403 New York avenue is the advertiser in this instance and has permitted the use of his name although the ad it- self is blind and calls for an- swers to Box 93 Herald Office In speaking of the engine Mr Mac Farren gave an elaborate technical explanation and modestly spoke as an engineer of the engineering features of and of the developments that may be expected- in airship manufacture In speak ing of the ad Mr MacFarren said that he has received a number of replies from this and from out of town regarding both the pur chase of engines and of his patent He said further that he had orig inally expected results to oc cur from the reading of the ad by those who may be secretly experi- menting with airships from the government experts who are now interested in the Wright machine and because of the present nature of the business from unexpected sources Mr MacFarren is one of those advertisers who from past ex- perience l as reason to believe in the great resultproducing power of nds PACT 7The II

present hearing and read into the record from the previous trials which tends to prove that Thaw inherited a taint of Insanity The district attorney assured the Justice that It needed not tho testimony of alienists to convince the average thinking man of the absolutely Inevitable result of tainted ancestry upon Its science Heredity he said Is the dark background of the whole matter Thaws Bad Heritage This Is the situation said Jerome In closing Hero Is a man who had a bad herl ajge whoso childhood was burdened with a highly neurotic condition and whoso early manhood was spent In dis- sipation Fifteen experts have sworn that he was insane at the time he shot White Nino of these sworo that he was In Incurable paranoiac Three experts against tho weight of all the others now say he is sane If your honor should release this man the future alone will test the wlsdno of your decision J dont think It to allow him to go at large wlthcat a searching medical examination by ex- ports such as has been denied in these proceedings by the relator himself Morschausor in his summing up laid particular emphasis upon the contention that the question for the justice to is not whether Thaw was Insane when he shot White but whether he is insane at the present time Tho coun sel put much emphasis on the testimony- of Dr Baker of Mattoawan who said that he had not been able to see any traces of paranoia in his prisoner since his removal there Ho asserted that not ono who had seen Thaws actions In court during the present hearing could have said that he was naught but a sane man Justice Mills announced no change of his intention to make known his decision- on Thursday MILITIAS TO TEST Attempt to Rout In vaders from the Sea BbSTON TO BE THE OBJECTIVE Effort Will Be Made to Take the City by Attacking Forde on Sea in 3Ilmlo Warfare the Land to Be In Charge of tho Regular Officers of tho Federal Army Whether or not the Massachusetts coast defenses would be efficient in proecting that State from sea attack by an Invad ing force will bo demonstrated a week hence when tho District National Guard with 7000 other militiamen representing- the States of New York Connecticut and Rhode Island and known collectively as the Reds or attacking army will wage mimic warfare against the regular Mas- sachusetts Coast Artillery and the State militia collectively known as the Blues or defending army Tho invading force will endeavor to take Boston and if the Rod army suc- ceeds in breaking through tho chain of coast defenses and getting inland it is likely the whole coast defense system will be revolutionized In tact one of the main objects of this extensive man- euver is to find the weak in the present mode of protecting the and to eliminate them Tho Underlying Plan In addition and this is tho larger plan underlying these tests of the coast de fences It is thought the maneuvers will the moans of building up a capable citizen soldiery such as Germany has one that will be able to cope success- fully with any wartime emergency To possess such a standard and well trained citizen militia has long been the aim of the Federal and State govern menU and in order to better effect this the citizen soldiers will during these ma- neuvers be the companions of war with the regulars and will do battle under the command of the regular officers as well as their own citizen chiefs Ac cording to officials this actual experience- in the regular tactics and life of the standing army will result In raising the standing of the militia to but a fraction below that of the regular army and of making thorn capable of rendering valu able services in time of war Arrangements for tlyj maneuvers which will bo on a more elaborate and exten- sive scale than any heretofore have been announced by Brig Gen George H Harries through his adjutant general Lieut Col Smiley It has been definitely settled that tho army transports Sumner and McClellan will convey the District guardsmen to the scene of the

Com- missioner Went Down to Defeat Weryring an Many Different Smiles as There Are Points in the Game Mahools Reputation at Stake Putting the ball with exceeding groat skill yes putting the ball with the grim determination that always broods oer im pending eminent golfer and patriot J Barry Mahool mayor of Bal- timore natchod victory out of the avid clutch of Commissioner Henry L West yesterday afternoon and made tho game even up at the eighteenth hole Twaa his honors last chance The honor of the Monumental City was at stake The tantalizing little gutta percha lay on the fringe of the green far far- away from tho little cup at the center Only championship golf could hope to negotiate that shot But the mayor of Baltimore did not quail His eye meas- ured that stretch of greensward and a small blow from tho putter sent the gutta percha scudding across true as an ar row It slowed up and hesitated and then coq ottlshly sought its proper term inus and settled cozily Into tho hole Gasped In Amazement Tho gallery gapped with amazement His game gone glimmering Commis sioner West who had already assimilated the sweets of victory was compelled to admit that Mayor Mohool was some golfer It meant that the thrilling four some had ended a tie Commissioner West end his team mate were quite un- prepared for such a grand stand finish Well truth is stranger than fiction said a Washingtonian I never thought- a B lmore man could make such a pretty shot as that It s ems impossible- I suppose that postpones Commissioner Wests final victory The next game will have to be played on the Baltimore links Now you cant tell what kind of fine work Mayor Mahool will get in before that Perhaps we have a real fight on our hands It was recognized at the outset that Mayor Mahool would be at a big disad- vantage playing on the Columbia golf links which he had never before Men On this account the foursome or- ganized Maj JJ Morrow former Engi- neer Commissioner of the District was assigned as the mayors partner and W H Moses played with Commissioner West The trio Journeyed down to the Union Station to wolcome the Baltimorean to our fair city They cried out in chorus as he hove into sight You see we take pity upon thee One of us is going to help you out We are not going to let you play unaided on noble links which you never before cast eyes upon Quite overwhelmed by this kindness the mayor surrendered himself to the gen- erous trio and awaited tho outcome of the day without misgivings Without delay they went arminarm to the glo- rious stretch of hliVs out at the Columbia Club and swung their brassies and cloaks and niblicks out of the bags From the start the foursome proved an oven match Neither side was able to gain any great lead When West and Moses procured a toad of two holes they thought the game was safe But the seesaw continued and at the seventeenth hole the WestMoses combination was one up Surely with sn even break of luck at the eighteenth hole they figured the game was theirs But it was not to be ainhooi Was Surprised Mayor Mahool was as surprised as any- one at the outcome of the game and Im- mediately Invited Commissioner West to play off the tie in the Monumental City As the match stands now Commissioner West has won ono match and must win another to gain the championship for Washington Mayor Mahool W M Moees Maj Mor- row and Irving Williamson wore the guests of Mr West at dinner after the mighty struggle At 10 oclock Mayor Mahool left Washington for his home cityNo record of play by strokes or holes 4s forthcoming and the players are con- tent

representative of the International Pro tective Association of San Francisco was brutally murdered here last night at a spot about 200 yards from United States Senator Nixons horns He was beaten aboj tjL9 head with rocks and shot twice with a 45callber revolver His body was then dragged fifty feet to a shallow Irrigating ditch thrown In face downward and weighted down with a large rock A theory of the crime is that Little carried valuable papers which were wanted by his assailants This is born out by the fact that none of his Jewelry was taken though his clothes were very carefully searched even his shoes being removed by the murderers Manager J M Rich of the association says Little carried valuable papers but refuses to disclose their contents OFFERS HIGHER WAGES Another Attempt Made to

Fertilizer and Planting with Covipca to Be Plowed In When Green and by Lime Dressing Def- icient In Organic Matter It the recommendation of exports frees Bureau of Soils United States De- partment of Agriculture is followed out by Elliott Woods superintendent of the Capitol Building and grounds whoa Con- gress convenes next December it will nod the Capitol lawns plowed up to bo plant- ed in cowpeas This recommendation is the result examination of the soils of the Capitol grounds by H H Bennett soil expert and Dr Oswald Schreiner of the labor atory force at the request of Mr Woods owing to the Inability of the gardeners- to get grass to grow on certain sections of the grounds After recommending that certain kinds of manure bo on the grounds the report says The examination of the lawns showed that there wero considerable areas la which the grass was either suffering se- verely or had died out on account of insufficient supply of raolsure Borings were made and the soil was found to be variable in texture ranging from good mellow loam to hard compact sandy loam Hard and Lifeless Below a depth of twelve to eighteen inches considerable rubbish in the shape of fragments of stone brickbats was encountered Spots were found in all these lawns in which poor structural conditions obtained and on which the grass was nearly or completely parched The soil in these areas was so hard that it was difficult to penetrate it with an augur while in the better portions the augur penetrated readily on account of a good mellow structure The soU of the nonproductive areas was very dry and had a bleached lifeless appearance Water from the sprinkler seemed to be unable to enter the soil in such places Laboratory examinations showed that the soil was not acid and it therefore appears that the difficulty rests mainly In the unfavorable material or filling the lack of organic matter and lack of soil treatment The water holding capacity- of a soil deficient in organic matter is always much lower than in case of good mellow loam or land that contains enough organic matter to prevent compacting and hardening A good grass soil should con- tain a considerable quantity of clay uni- formly mixed with sand and slit and this should rest upon a cfkyey founda- tion Had this point held in view when the soil material was hauled in there would not now be this trouble of poor grass on unsuitable land It was further found that the lawn had re- ceived neither fertilizer nor any special treatment for a period of many years Organic Material Essential It is absolutely essential to Introduce into these soils some form of organic manure This can be accomplished by spreading over tho soil in the fall well rotted stable manure which is as freo as possible from detrimental weed seeds This should be fine and well decomposed- so that It will be carried beneath the surface of the grass by rains and showers during the winter leaving very little ma- terial to be raked oft in tho spring- A good treatment would bo to plow tho land in the lato summer or early tall to ft depth of from six to eight inches so as to subject that material to the bene- ficial action of winter freezes This would loosen up tho compact places have a tendency to aerate tho soil and allow the moisture to penetrate deeper Cowpeas or soy beans should be planted the fol lowing year and plowed under green when nearly grown Following this burnt lime should be applied broadcast to the surface at the rate of from 1000 to 2000 pounds per acre After a good rain tho lime should be thoroughly harrowed In and tho soil reduced to a good tilth before seeding- to grass The gras should be given a winter top dressing of well decomposed manure In this way there would bo secured- a tilth favorable to the retention of a supply of molsturo sufficient for healthy plant development Will Protect Greeks Secretary of State Knox has requested the governor of California to furnish ade- quate protection to

Shannon Inc Home of a Hundred Ideas In Woodley Park 7350 Containing the combined ideas of the men and women of Washington- The great rapidity with which these homes are selling is ample assurance to us that the per- sistent energy we expended in formulating into a practical home the combined ideas of both men and women of Washington is fully appreciated- It is evident that our work has resulted in the production of a home far removed from the or dinary and a value which you cannot well afford to overlook Warm were the expressions of pleasure over the quaint innovations the comforts the general delightfulness of these homes It is a fact that the homeloving people declared that the homes far exceeded their expecta- tions and it is a deservedly honest statement to say that we intended they should be pleased We grant that the production of so handsomely a finished home at this price and especially in Woodley Park would have been entirely out of reason were it not for the extremely fortunate purchase of ground at an advantageous figure ground purchased not at the present asking prices because these prices prohibit the building of so moderate a priced secured before its true value was appreciated and before others saw its magnificent possibilites- An inspection of these homes enlarges ones viewpoint of what a home ought to tje and proves that the ideal home costs no more than a house barren of the features that are comprised in these homes Having at heart the question of erecting homes for our people we have considered it from every point We are convinced therefore that in time this city will be filled with homes that will all the strength and charm of that beautiful word HOME Terms Our purchase plan makes the salaried man a land proprietor the owner of his home In this city of high rentals every man knows the difficulty of renting a desirable house of nine rooms under 4000 or 5000 Our proposition is to sell you a home at a rental value on monthly payments of 4850 including all interest while an average of 3245 goes toward paying for your home Here is a chance to buy a home at no greater cost than paying of rent To illustrate Suppose your grocer should say I will give you 4850 worth of groceries each month but will arrange it so an average of of 3245 of it will come back to you as money saved You would accept this proposition promptly because it gives you a chance to save money Our proposition amounts to the same thing The wisest way to save money is to spend it with a view to making the expenditure profitable To Inspect Nos 2824 to 2846 27th

residing at 913 New Jersey avenue northwest complained to the police yesterday afternoon that at 530 oclock two negroes had flimflammed him out of 516 at Sixth and G street northwest by the pocketbook trick He gave the police a fairly good description of the artists and a general alarm for the men has been sent out Tho trick Is an old one used by ama teur thieves as well as professionals It la a game that offers unlimited oppor tunities to pick up the unsuspecting with few chances of being caught Two work the game One picks out the victim The first man has a con federate in tho vicinity possibly across the street or following close behind The first thief slyly drops a pocket bood stuffed with what appears to be bills Tho man who drops tlje pocket book unobserved by the victim stoops and picks it up and begins to look at its contents In the meantime he is opposite the victim who in nine cases out of ten stops to look at the fellows supposed find In the meantime the con- federate of the thief comes up and says he saw thj first man pick up the pocket book He appeals to the victim to know if he too did not sea the first man find the money The victim says he did and tnen the second man says the first man must divide up or he will report the mat- ter to the police At this point the thieves agree to turn tho pocketbook and its contents over to tho victim for a sum small in comparison- to what tho pocketbook appears to con- tain If the victim sees a chance to make a good thing out of what he thinks to be easy marks he passes over the money and the thieves disappear When the vie Um looks in the pocketbook he finds it stuffed with paper imitation money or old Confederate money ASSAILS NEW BILL Mr Woodruff Says Utilities Measure Will Not Meet Requirements Now Haven Aug Gov Rollins Woodruff of this city this after noon vigorously criticised the public util- ities bill which has just been approved by the Connecticut senate by a small majority The lower branch of the gen- eral assembly will vote on the measure- on Tuesday Gov Woodruff regards the Barnum bill as a failure in meeting the requirements MAY BE MADE OFFICERS The police are seriously considering the advisability of clothing street car con- ductors with the powers of special police- men Recent complaints to tho police show the need of such a stop Most of the complaints occur on Satur- day nights after a payday when the rougher element spend tho night down town drinking until the barrooms close and then start home intoxicated If it should bo decided not to give the conductors police powers the railway companies will bo required to appoint either plain clothes men or uniformed men to protect oassencera men 7Former ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ WEATHEK COHDITIOESe- ather BWMK A disturbance

trials tot murder Jerome turned tpconsideration of the testimony adducedin the present hearing and read intothe record from the previous trials whichtends to prove that Thaw inherited ataint of Insanity The district attorneyassured the Justice that It needed nottho testimony of alienists to convince theaverage thinking man of the absolutelyInevitable result of tainted ancestry uponIts science Heredity he said Is thedark background of the whole matter
Thaws Bad HeritageThis Is the situation said Jerome In
closing Hero Is a man who had a badherl ajge whoso childhood was burdenedwith a highly neurotic condition andwhoso early manhood was spent In dis-
sipation Fifteen experts have swornthat he was insane at the time he shotWhite Nino of these sworo that he wasIn Incurable paranoiac Three expertsagainst tho weight of all the others nowsay he is sane
If your honor should release this manthe future alone will test the wlsdno ofyour decision J dont think It toallow him to go at large wlthcat asearching medical examination by ex-ports such as has been denied in theseproceedings by the relator himself
Morschausor in his summing up laidparticular emphasis upon the contentionthat the question for the justice to
is not whether Thaw was Insanewhen he shot White but whether he isinsane at the present time Tho counsel put much emphasis on the testimony-of Dr Baker of Mattoawan who saidthat he had not been able to see anytraces of paranoia in his prisoner sincehis removal there Ho asserted that notono who had seen Thaws actions Incourt during the present hearing couldhave said that he was naught but a saneman

WEST IN CONTEST
LOSES TO IAHOOL
Baltimores Mayor SnatchesVictory in Golf Game
SHOT THE BALL HIGH AND FAR
Gallery Forced to Gasp as the Com-
missioner Went Down to DefeatWeryring an Many Different Smilesas There Are Points in the GameMahools Reputation at Stake
Putting the ball with exceeding groatskill yes putting the ball with the grimdetermination that always broods oer impending eminent golfer andpatriot J Barry Mahool mayor of Bal-timore natchod victory out of the avidclutch of Commissioner Henry L Westyesterday afternoon and made tho gameeven up at the eighteenth hole
Twaa his honors last chance Thehonor of the Monumental City was atstake The tantalizing little gutta perchalay on the fringe of the green far far-away from tho little cup at the centerOnly championship golf could hope tonegotiate that shot But the mayor ofBaltimore did not quail His eye meas-ured that stretch of greensward and asmall blow from tho putter sent the guttapercha scudding across true as an arrow It slowed up and hesitated andthen coq ottlshly sought its proper terminus and settled cozily Into tho hole
Gasped In AmazementTho gallery gapped with amazement
His game gone glimmering Commissioner West who had already assimilatedthe sweets of victory was compelled toadmit that Mayor Mohool was somegolfer It meant that the thrilling foursome had ended a tie CommissionerWest end his team mate were quite un-
prepared for such a grand stand finishWell truth is stranger than fiction
said a Washingtonian I never thought-a B lmore man could make such apretty shot as that It s ems impossible-I suppose that postpones CommissionerWests final victory The next game willhave to be played on the Baltimore linksNow you cant tell what kind of finework Mayor Mahool will get in beforethat Perhaps we have a real fight onour hands
It was recognized at the outset thatMayor Mahool would be at a big disad-vantage playing on the Columbia golflinks which he had never before MenOn this account the foursome or-ganized Maj J J Morrow former Engi-neer Commissioner of the District wasassigned as the mayors partner and WH Moses played with Commissioner West
The trio Journeyed down to the UnionStation to wolcome the Baltimorean toour fair city They cried out in chorusas he hove into sight
You see we take pity upon thee Oneof us is going to help you out We arenot going to let you play unaided onnoble links which you never beforecast eyes upon
Quite overwhelmed by this kindness themayor surrendered himself to the gen-erous trio and awaited tho outcome ofthe day without misgivings Withoutdelay they went arminarm to the glo-
rious stretch of hliVs out at the ColumbiaClub and swung their brassies and cloaksand niblicks out of the bags
From the start the foursome proved anoven match Neither side was able togain any great lead When West andMoses procured a toad of two holes theythought the game was safe But theseesaw continued and at the seventeenthhole the WestMoses combination wasone up Surely with sn even break ofluck at the eighteenth hole they figuredthe game was theirs But it was not tobe
ainhooi Was SurprisedMayor Mahool was as surprised as any-
one at the outcome of the game and Im-
mediately Invited Commissioner West toplay off the tie in the Monumental CityAs the match stands now CommissionerWest has won ono match and must winanother to gain the championship forWashington
Mayor Mahool W M Moees Maj Mor-row and Irving Williamson wore theguests of Mr West at dinner after themighty struggle At 10 oclock MayorMahool left Washington for his homecityNo

SOIL IMPOVERISHED-
ON CAPITOL
Experts Recommend RadicalSteps for Renewal
NEGLECTED FOR MANY YEARS
Scientists Advise Vic of Fertilizerand Planting with Covipca to BePlowed In When Green and
by Lime Dressing Def-icient In Organic Matter
It the recommendation of exports freesBureau of Soils United States De-
partment of Agriculture is followed outby Elliott Woods superintendent of theCapitol Building and grounds whoa Con-
gress convenes next December it will nodthe Capitol lawns plowed up to bo plant-ed in cowpeas
This recommendation is the resultexamination of the soils of the Capitol
grounds by H H Bennett soil expertand Dr Oswald Schreiner of the laboratory force at the request of Mr Woodsowing to the Inability of the gardeners-to get grass to grow on certain sectionsof the grounds After recommending thatcertain kinds of manure bo on thegrounds the report says
The examination of the lawns showedthat there wero considerable areas lawhich the grass was either suffering se-verely or had died out on account ofinsufficient supply of raolsure Boringswere made and the soil was found to bevariable in texture ranging from goodmellow loam to hard compact sandyloam
Hard and LifelessBelow a depth of twelve to eighteen
inches considerable rubbish in the shapeof fragments of stone brickbatswas encountered Spots were found inall these lawns in which poor structuralconditions obtained and on which thegrass was nearly or completely parchedThe soil in these areas was so hard thatit was difficult to penetrate it with anaugur while in the better portions theaugur penetrated readily on account of agood mellow structure
The soU of the nonproductive areaswas very dry and had a bleached lifelessappearance Water from the sprinklerseemed to be unable to enter the soil insuch places
Laboratory examinations showed thatthe soil was not acid and it thereforeappears that the difficulty rests mainlyIn the unfavorable material or filling thelack of organic matter and lack of soiltreatment The water holding capacity-of a soil deficient in organic matter isalways much lower than in case of goodmellow loam or land that contains enoughorganic matter to prevent compacting andhardening A good grass soil should con-tain a considerable quantity of clay uni-formly mixed with sand and slit andthis should rest upon a cfkyey founda-tion Had this point held in viewwhen the soil material was hauled inthere would not now be this trouble ofpoor grass on unsuitable land It wasfurther found that the lawn had re-ceived neither fertilizer nor any specialtreatment for a period of many years
Organic Material EssentialIt is absolutely essential to Introduce
into these soils some form of organicmanure This can be accomplished byspreading over tho soil in the fall wellrotted stable manure which is as freo aspossible from detrimental weed seedsThis should be fine and well decomposed-so that It will be carried beneath thesurface of the grass by rains and showersduring the winter leaving very little ma-terial to be raked oft in tho spring-
A good treatment would bo to plow tholand in the lato summer or early tall toft depth of from six to eight inches soas to subject that material to the bene-ficial action of winter freezes This wouldloosen up tho compact places have atendency to aerate tho soil and allow themoisture to penetrate deeper Cowpeasor soy beans should be planted the following year and plowed under greenwhen nearly grown
Following this burnt lime should beapplied broadcast to the surface at therate of from 1000 to 2000 pounds per acreAfter a good rain tho lime should bethoroughly harrowed In and tho soilreduced to a good tilth before seeding-to grass The gras should be given awinter top dressing of well decomposedmanure
In this way there would bo secured-a tilth favorable to the retention of asupply of molsturo sufficient for healthyplant development

SuccessThe New Model
Middaugh Shannon Inc
Home of a Hundred IdeasIn Woodley Park
7350Containing the combined ideas of the men and women of Washington-
The great rapidity with which these homes are selling is ample assurance to us that the per-
sistent energy we expended in formulating into a practical home the combined ideas of both menand women of Washington is fully appreciated-
It is evident that our work has resulted in the production of a home far removed from the ordinary and a value which you cannot well afford to overlook
Warm were the expressions of pleasure over the quaint innovations the comforts the generaldelightfulness of these homes
It is a fact that the homeloving people declared that the homes far exceeded their expecta-tions and it is a deservedly honest statement to say that we intended they should be pleased
We grant that the production of so handsomely a finished home at this price and especially inWoodley Park would have been entirely out of reason were it not for the extremely fortunatepurchase of ground at an advantageous figure ground purchased not at the present asking pricesbecause these prices prohibit the building of so moderate a priced secured before itstrue value was appreciated and before others saw its magnificent possibilites-
An inspection of these homes enlarges ones viewpoint of what a home ought to tje and provesthat the ideal home costs no more than a house barren of the features that are comprised in thesehomes
Having at heart the question of erecting homes for our people we have considered it fromevery point
We are convinced therefore that in time this city will be filled with homes that willall the strength and charm of that beautiful word HOME
TermsOur purchase plan makes the salaried man a land proprietor the owner of his home In this
city of high rentals every man knows the difficulty of renting a desirable house of nine rooms under4000 or 5000 Our proposition is to sell you a home at a rental value on monthly payments of4850 including all interest while an average of 3245 goes toward paying for your home Here
is a chance to buy a home at no greater cost than paying of rentTo illustrate Suppose your grocer should say I will give you 4850 worth of groceries
each month but will arrange it so an average of of 3245 of it will come back to you as moneysaved You would accept this proposition promptly because it gives you a chance to save moneyOur proposition amounts to the same thing
The wisest way to save money is to spend it with a view to making the expenditure profitable

The first thief slyly drops a pocketbood stuffed with what appears to bebills Tho man who drops tlje pocketbook unobserved by the victim stoopsand picks it up and begins to look atits contents In the meantime he isopposite the victim who in nine casesout of ten stops to look at the fellowssupposed find In the meantime the con-
federate of the thief comes up and sayshe saw thj first man pick up the pocketbook He appeals to the victim to knowif he too did not sea the first man findthe money The victim says he did andtnen the second man says the first manmust divide up or he will report the mat-ter to the police
At this point the thieves agree to turntho pocketbook and its contents over totho victim for a sum small in comparison-to what tho pocketbook appears to con-
tainIf the victim sees a chance to make a
good thing out of what he thinks to beeasy marks he passes over the money
and the thieves disappear When the vieUm looks in the pocketbook he finds itstuffed with paper imitation money orold Confederate money
