LOOKING FOR SEED POTATOES Potato Kxclmngc May Lease Fa rm lor Purpose Of Growing Seed in Maine For Ions Jslund Farmers The Long Island Potato Exchange management aro constantly on the alert to secure for the stockholders the best seed obtainable, but in spite of unusual care in purcnasing this important article the association has not always been successful in all of the varieties , although the seed , as a whole , has much improved since the Exchange was organized. Last, season, the Green Mountain seed proved true to name and excel- lent yielders , and while the Carman seed yielded satisfactory, there was a mixture of some early variety. The Spaulding No. 4 , which was recom- mended as an early variety, proved to be as late as the Green Mountain. Plans are now being made for next season ' s seed and by vote of the Ex- change Board , the secretary, of the association , W. R. Fanning, one of Riverhead' s prosperous growers, was sent on an extended trip through the potato belts of Maine , Vermont and New York state. Mr . Fanning will visit the potato fields and select the best seed obtain- able , which he will purchase for im- mediate shipment. These potatoes on arrival, will be purchased by the stock- holders and stored in their cellars. The selection of Mr. Fanning for this important mission , meets with the ap- proval of all growers , for he is a man upon whose judgment many rely. These potatoes will arrive in cars , in bulk , and will be open for inspection at the loading stations of the associa- tion. It is believed that this method of securing seed in the fall and having the cars loaded under the supervision of an expert , will prove to be far su- perior to the old methods of buying for spring delivery. if this new move on the part of the Exchange does not prove entirely sat- isfactory, another co-operative body within the Exchange will be formed with a capital sufficient to buy and equip a large farm in the State of Maine , and a Long Island farmer ex- pert placed in charge who will give bis whole time and attention to rais- ing seed with which to supply the wants ' of the Suffolk county farmer. Manager Embree has long advocat- ed the formation of such a company, but the poor crops as well as low prices have stood in the way of rais- ing sufficient capital to successfully promote the project. This season , while the average crop is short of normal conditions , high prices have prevailed , not only for po- tatoes , but other products of the soil have also soared upward , and the farmer ' s bank account has expanded accordingly. With these satisfactory conditions prevailing it should not be a serious matter to successfully pro- mote this long cherished plan and it is hoped that the growers will co-oper- ate in the movement with the Ex- change and again demonstrate the progressive spi ri t of the Long Island farmer. In spite uf the constant attempt of the dealers in the city to substitute potatoes grown in other sections for the Long Island stock , the latter has held its place and the demand of the customer has forced the dealer to keep a supply constantly on hand. Maines and New Vork s tate stock are selling in the markets for $2.25 $2.50 , while Long Islands are selling from the same stalls at $3 to $3.25 , the difference going not to the middleman , but to the producer. The potato market this week has oeen rainer quiei. iucic nus uui been a great many bushels sh. ' oped as the greater part of the yield has al- ready bee n marketed and the farmers are not in a hurry to get the rest to market , as the price is gradually working upwards. The shippers are giving from 90c. to 95c. and there is a good demand for this stock at this price. Although a large number of Long Island potatoes have been shipped Lo the western market\ , nv»i- crs who have late reports from .Michi- gan say that it is a practical certain- ty that Central Michigan Btock will have to come east for a market and will soon crowd into this territory. Pittsburg is now drawing supplies from that section. Up-State fanners are demanding 60c. and upward and are very independent In fact , many of them are storing thei r potatoes , believing that prices will be much higher before the end of the winter. More potatoes are going West from up-State than are coming to the city. On the Maine Centra) the shippers are asking 55c and Aroos- took county demands 77c per bushel , delivered in New York . Maine farm- ers , like those in New York state , are quite independent and putting their potatoes away. The impression has gone abroad in the country there is going to bo a scarcity of potatoes. The growers can get along without the money and they are gol.i/ to wait and take their chances. On Long Island they are asking 90c tor their stock and not particular whetho. they sell at that price. Cuba is taking about 2 , 000 hags of ISO lbs. per week. The de- mand everywhere is good and the stock , both from Maine and New York , runs very evenly and is desirable. There is no accumulation In the yards at all. The United States Department of Agriculture figures tiie potato short- age this year as 87 , 000.000 bushels , 25(1 , 000 , 000 bushelr. Reports from abroad are not encouraging. Ger- many ' s crop, the most important, in the world , is practically a failure . The normal German production la \ over 1 , 500 , 000 , 000 bushels. Condition\ aro serious in France and Austria- f-iti. 'igary. The Rn.?si»n c rop 13 ai. -io ' shrrt. This will force heavy ship-; merits from the British Isles to the: continent , and it is possible that ; America will be drawn upon for snp- j plies before the season is ov<^r. The: European acrwe is over 30 , 000 , 000. Itussia has nuout 10 , 000 ,000; Germany 8 , 000 , 000 , and France 4 , 000 . 000. The I AL. DAVIS LOSES SUIT FOR $1 , 000 DOG Jury Awards Defendant Verdict in Wading River Case After Hearing Evidence PRISONERS ARE ARRAIGNED Case of John VInrent Against Mrs, Jessie Sprout Dismissed When Plaintiff Failed To Appea r The trial term of the Supreme Court has been in session here all the week. On Monday there were seven cases on the calendar marked ready, yet not a single one was tried. In tome cases the attorneys askci for further adjournment , but Justice Kap- per said that the cases had been mark- ed ready, that due notice had been g iven and that it was either ready or off the calendar , and they went off. The suit of Albert B. Davis , of Wad- ing River , against James H. Barr , to recover »1 , 000 for damages to a dog, was tried :a«t week and resulted in a verdict tor the defendant. Al. Da- vis claimed to have a prize winner and said the animal was worth $1 , 000. Th# dog ran into a wire fence , ac- cording to Davis and hurt himself so that he wasn 't worth more than thirty cents. The plaintiff claimed that the fence was not properly constructed and that the accident was due to neg- ligence. There were many witnesses and at times the trial was quite lively. After deliberating a short time , the jury found against the dog. George W. Hildreth was the attorney for plaintiff , while Judge Belford appear- ed for the defendant. There was no appearance on the part of the plaintiff in the suit of John Vincent against Jessie Sprout and Charles M. Blydenburgh , of this village. The case was to set aside a deed. Last week Justice Kapper set the case down tor Wednesday of this week , and Rutherford W. Kathan , at- torney for plaintiff , said that be would sure be ready to try the case. When the case was called , Wednesday, no one put in an appearance and Justice Kapper dismissed the complaint. E. W. Tooker appeared for the de- fendants. fendants. The propriety of Miss .Tarden ' s dress when she danced the sensational dance in the last act of Madame Sherry, was the question passed upon by a Suffolk county jury, Wednesday night , in the suit of Ignacio Martin- etti , a famous dancer , against Al Woods and George W. Lederer, the theatrical managers to recover $6 , 500 damages for breach of contract. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff broke his contract with the Madame Sherry Company by refusing to take part in the dance. Martinettl told the jury that the reason he didn 't take part in the dance with Miss Jarden was that he didn ' t like her gown; that it was indecent because of its low cut in the back . The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. George W. Lederer , the theatrical man, took tne witness stand and flatly contradicted Martinettl. He said that the dress was mad j from a plate which he , Ledere r , picked out and handed to the costume maker , and there had never been any complaints from the press or the public against the dance or the costume. Martinettl demonstra ted the dance before the jury and so did Manager Lederer. Martinetti claimed that he was not physically able to perform me dance because it required lifting the woman , who was large r than he and whirling her around over his head. Lederer said that the lifting of Miss Jarden was simply a trick and that it was being done now in four Madame Sherry companies by men no larger than the plaintiff. On the witness stand Lederer said that Martinetti was a good artist and it was said in the court room that evening that he had signed him for a Boston engagement. Martinetti gave his residence as St. James , and Lederer said his home was in Huntington . In the suit of Timothy J. O'Connor againBt Grace Dellano Company, the jury found for the defendant for $500. The plaintiff sued to recover pay for a large quantity of cement sidewalks laid on the defendant' s property, near Babylon. The defendant put in a counterclaim for damages on the ground that the work was not proper- ly done and photographs were pro- duced showing where the sidewalk had been broken up by the frosts.

A number of the lead- ing newspaper editors In the county already declare their intention , if re- quested , to aid the committee to pre- pare an- secure the ' passage of a bill fixing a rate for advertising Suffolk' s map properties at a figure that will be fai r to the county and the papers . It Is declared that the present rate is ex- orbitant and not to be excused. The work is a big one for the newspapers to . handle and is also an expensive proposition for them , all of which Is recognized by tho Bar Association , and !t is understood that In correcting the evi l they do not care to be drastic , and feel that the laborer is worthy of his hire. It is believed that there will be entire unity of opinion in the matter and that proper legislation for relief of the county will be forthcoming when the Legislature meets.

Mr. Frazer was about 65 years old and did work for the summer residents. About four years ago his wife died. It 1 B said that he was despondent on Sunday. Mr. Frazer lef iVejL^|y^^ HAS FOUND BIS RELATIVES Benjamin Oaring Finds His Father in Brooklyn, Whom He Had Not Seen In Over 23 Tears After being separated for twenty- two years , Benjamin Curing, twenty- eight years old , and bis father , Wil- liam Garing, of No. 1234 De Kalb ave- nue , Brooklyn , have been reunited. Throughout thj years of their separa- tion , the elder Oaring was living at tne De Kalb avenue aidress, while his son was no farther away than New Suffolk. After the death of their mother , twenty-two years ago , Benjamin and hi 3 brother , William G. Garing, were placed in the care of the Eastern Dis- trict Industrial School and Home , at No: 111 South Third street , Williams- burg. William remained in the In- stitution until he was twelve years old. Then he returned to live with his father. Benjamin , when nine yesrs old , was sent to a farmer , Sam- uel Haliock , st Cutchogae. This , the elder Mr. Oaring says , was done with- out his knowledge or consent , and he declares the officers of the Institution refused to tell him what bad become of his son. Benjamin Oaring remained twelve years with Haliock, at the end of which time , having tost all trace of his family, he went to work for an- other farmer , in Cutchogae, Chauncey Glever. His father , meantime , had heard rumors from several of his rela- tives that the boy was in the West and had a good position there. Where those rumors originated he could not learn. The son remained only three years with Glover , next worked for Ave rears in the grocery store of Morel! Bros., and from there became an em- ploye of Goldsmith ft Tuthill, In New Suffolk , one of the largest provision dealers on the eastern end of Long Island. He married a New Suffolk girl and became one of the most trusted men in the grocery firm , where he still Is employed. . Less than two weeks ago , Garing was looking up a number in the tele- phone directory, when he saw the name of Oaring Bros., in the trucking business , at 86 Prince street , Manhat- tan. Wondering it they could be rela- tives , the young man wrote a letter to that address. In answer he was jail- ed up on the telephone and asked to come to New Vork. He did so , and learned , to his amazement , that Harry and Howard Garing, the brothers men- tioned, were his cousins. Then he soon got trace of his father and hurried to see him at his Rrooklvn home. DID NOT HEED WIFE'S WARNING Had Daniel Kelly, for years fore- man of the H. L. Kenyon estate , at Se- tauket , heeded the entreaties of his wife , he would now be alive Instead of filling a watery grave in Long Island Sound. Thursday, Friday and Satur- day nights of last week , Mrs. Kelly dreamed that her husband bad met a terrible ' fate . She told her husband of these dreams , but be passed them off lightly, saying that dreams were not to be believed. When he announc- ed Sunday that he wag going fishing, bis wife Implored him not to go , say- ing that she could not get the dreams out of her head. Heiiy, with a friend , took out a row- boat and spent the morning and early afternoon fishing. They were very successful. About three quarters of a mile off shore the men tried to change seats and the boat overturned. Both its occupants were thrown into the water. Kelly could not swim, and his companion, a poor swimmer, had all he could do to keep afloat until some time later, when he was rescued by Richard Ray, the lighthouse keeper. Every enort was made io reuuvci Kelly ' s body, but without success. The search is still being continued. Kelly was well liked in Setauket by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and three small children. Hts wife la neartbroken . She believe* that had he heeded her warning he would still be alive. LEVY LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL Two provisions of the Levy Elec- tion Law were declared unconstitu- tional by the Court of Appeals , Tues- day. The first provides that the name of a candidate shall appear in but one party column on the official ballot , and the second compels all electors In places of under 5 , 000 inhabitants , which includes all rural districts of the State , who did not vote at last fall' s election , to personally register this year If they desire to vote. The decision of the Court of Ap- peals that the name of a candidate may appear in more than one party column will help the two Democratic candidates for Supreme Court Justices in this district , who have been en- dorsed by the Independence League , but will not otherwise affect the vote in Suffol k county this fall. The decision holding that voters in the country districts will not have to personally register , whether they vot- ed last fall or not , Is pleasing to the vast majority of people in Suffol k county.
