PRISONS AUK FULL OF ALIENS.
Influx of Immigrant** the Cause of
Increase of Criminals.
That the recent remarkable In
crease In prison population In New
York state Is due largely to the
influx of immigrants into the state,
is the conclusion of C. V. Collins,
superintendent of state prisons, who,
in his annual report to the legisla
ture, suggests that the federal gov
ernment, which permits these alien
criminals to land on Its shores,
should assume the burden of main
talning them tlH they have served
their sentence when they should be
deported and never allowed to re
turn. A census of 4,320 prisoners
in Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton
prisons, showed that 1,091 or 25
per cent were aliens.

one of his cousin’s children at the
time Mr. Tillman came in in a rage.
In an affidavit submitted to the
court Monday Mrs. Tillman says that
one occasion she was forced by her
husband's drunken debauches and
cruel treatment 'to separate from
him, but "not until deponenf’9 hus
band under the Influence of exces
sive drink made a most outrageous,
false and degrading attack upon de
ponent’s character, that deponent, so
outraged and insulted flew through
the night time with her two Infan*
children from deponent’s horn© at
‘Edgewood’ to her sister’s home in
Edgefield for protection, where she
remained for several months.”
Tt would seem from the number
and character of the affidavits read
Monday in support of Mrs. Tillman’s
right to the children, that practi
cally every man and woman of stand
ing in Edgefield is up In arms against
Senator and Mrs. Tillman and their
son. Among the signers of these
affidavits are several relatives of
Justice Gary, himself a member of
the supreme bench. There are over
signed by two or more, and several
fifty affidavits, practically all of them
having from 25 to 50 signatures.
The signatures Include the follow
ing, all testifying that they have
known Mrs. Tillman either several
years or from Infancy, and that she
is a woman of irreproachable cha^
acter, modest, refined, cultured, dls-
peciiliacly fitted and amply finan
cially able to care for and educate
cate her own children.

SHE
MAYS WOMEN ROBBED HIM.
A New York Banker Despoiled of
Big Amount of Cash.
In New York Wednesday nigh*
Warner M. Van Norden, the banke-
and president of the Van Nordea
Trust Company, was robbed of $28,-
000 as he was leaving the Waldorf-
Astoria.
With the arraignment a few days
ago of Bessie Roberts, alias Kitty
Dowell, of Chicago, and Annie
Williams, alias “Chicago Maggie, ’
the story was made public.
Mr. Van Norden saw two women
walking along Fifth avenue. One
dropped a pocketliook and Mr. Van
Norden politely picked it up and re
turned it to her.
A hearty slap on the back was the
somewhat startling and .unconven
tional manner in which one of the
women signalized her thanks. There
was a profusion of thanks and bows
and one of the women fainted sud
denly on Mr. Van Norden’s shoul
der.
The woman revived and a few
minutes later Mr. Van Norden misl
ed the 128,000. The women were
held in J30.000 bonds.

known that lime Is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live when It has been exhaust
ed from the soil. It has also been
known that old worn-out lands are
extremely deficient in lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime ia a for mthat Is not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U- 8
Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All
the applications of lime increased the
yields • • The best yields wer#
obtained with the lime In the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys
ter shells standing first • • Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone.”
This new fertilizer which present#
lime in Its most usable form Is mad©
by a new process o4 burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
er only $7.00 per ton. It reclaim#
