HARBISBHftO STAR-INDEPENDENT. MONDAY EVENING. MAY 10. 1915,
IS. CARMAN ACQUITTED
Woman Freed on Charge of Killing Mrs.
Louise Bailey 111 From Trial's
Reaction
New "i ork. May 10.— Mr?. Florence
Conklin Carman, acquitted Saturday of
the murder of Mrs. Louise D. Bailey in I
freeport, L. I , spent a happy day yes- j
terday. though she finally became ill j
from the reaction. She had little to j
say. but she denied that either she or j
Dr. Carman has had an authentic offer
t'rem a vaudeville or moving picture !
manager. Friends showered the Car
man family with congratulations by j
telegrams, telephone and personally, j
Flowers arrived, too. t
Dr. and Mrs. Carman took an auto !
trip to Brooklyn in the afternoon to i
i visit relatives. Mrs. Carman was
seized with a headache on the trip and 1
retired to her room as soon as she got J
; he me.
"I expected the verdict," said Dr. |
Carman, "and considered Justice Black
! mar's charge very fair, especially the!
part telling the jury the whole' case I
depended upon the story of Celia Cole- I
: man. No twelve reasoning men couid!
believe that story. She changed it |
I three times.
, "We have no definite plans, except'
that we shall-stay in Freeport during j
; the summer. Later we may go to Ra
| > en Rock, X. J., to visit relatives and j
get a rest."
William D. Bailey, of Hempstead, L.
1., husband of the murdered woman,!
said he would pursue the investigation j
j into the killing. Mrs. Jennie Durvee, j
Mrs. Bailey's mother, broke down un-|
der the strain and could not be seen
yesterday.
James F. Wilkinson, 115 Broadway, j
Manhattan, Bailey's lawyer, said there)
would be'further court proceedings re-,
■ suiting from the testimony of certain
witnesses at the trial.

Date of Adjournment
Depends on Whether
They Get Snarled in
the Legislature
FULL CREW FIGHT
COMES TO-NIGHT
The Repealer Which Has Passed the
House Will Be Voted on Finally In
the Upper Branch—Much Important
Legislation Is Fending
Both the Senate and House will
meet to-night at 8 o 'clock, and it is
beginuing to be realized that the Legis
lature is 011 its next to the last lap,
next week being the last according to
the Republican leatfvrs who have an
nounced that every effort will be made
to adjourn on May 20. It is barely
possible, however, that revenue meas
ures may get so snarled that it will
take a week longer to straighten them
out, in which event the legislators
would say farewell on May 27.
Efforts will be made to pass the
workmen's compensation bills in the
Senate this week. A public hearing
will be held on them to morrow after
noon aftef which it is expected the
Corporations Committee of the Senate
will hand them out for final action.
The full crow repealer has passed
the House and also passed second read
ing in the Senate and will be on final
passage in the Senate to-night, when
both railroad company and railroad
trainmen agents will be there in force.
The fact that the vote in committee to
report this bill to the Senate was almost
even, —7 to 6, —lias created the impres
sion that the vote on its fiual passage
will be very close, and the railroad
trainmen are not without hope that
they will be able to defeat it on final
passage. On the other hand the rail
road companies say they are sure they
have enough votes to carry the meas
ure through.
Revenue Bills in the House
Revenue bills will be in order in the
House, and the stock trausfer tax, the
county fund deposit, administration
escheat and automobile license increase
bills are on the calendar, as well as the
bill designed to save the state SSOO,-
000 through compelling counties to pay
the expenses of the primary elections.
To-morrow the House will give atten
tion to the ship canal bills and the Cat
lin bill to place anthracite miners un
der the compensation laws. The bill
for standard tire insurance policies U
also listed for Tuesday. The House
has 22 bills on .third reading and 22
on the postponed -calendar. In the list
are the Optometry, Elevator Inspection
Bureau and "Pure Paint " bills. The 33
bills on second reading include the
election law amendments, bills to es
tablish State employment agencies, vo
cational education appropriation and
highway bills.
The Senate has on third reading the
Pish Code, Obsolete Uw Repealer,
Pure Liquor bills and the measure to
pay owners of cattle killed for foot
and mouth disease full value. On
second reading are the Clark third class
city law amendments, bills for civil
service in third class city police and
tire departments, for a State Agricul
tural Commission, to authorize street
railways to run motor 'buses and to
establish a State Bureau of Forest
Protection. The small loan and penal
law amendment bills are on first read
ing.
AN OPEN LETTER
This Is Also a Paid Advertisement
RIGHT OR WRONG
We do not believe a whole lot in expending much money for newspaper advertising so that we are
thereby compelled to ask increased prices for our goods. However, we do, just occasionally like to let
EVERYONE know that this store is now as always selling furniture and other housefurnish at lower
prices than most other stores.
OUR WAY—
We do a large business under an economical expense system which enables us to quote the lowest
possible prices on EVERYTHING. Our prices are uniformly low on all our goods. Our stock is one of
the largest and most complete in the city. >
Our customers will tell you that this store is not only one of the largest, but the best store in which
to purchase their home needs. In fact, our customers really prove to be our advertisers and they
have done it very well indeed. We believe thoroughly in a business system that will convince the cus
tomer that what he purchases here is at least just a little better for the same money, or as good for less
money than he can obtain it for elsewhere. /
This is the system which has built up our business, to its present large proportions and is still doing
good work for us. We try our beet to give our customers the most for their money and our experience
has been that the customer can always be depended upon to return the favor in some good way.
REMEMBER THAT—
You may not see our advertisement in the newspapers very often, but we ask you to chalk this down:
When you want to buy good furniture at the way-down price, this is the store that is sure to be there
with the goods you may want and with the price that will suit.
A JITNEY WILL LET YOU OFF RIGHT AT OUR DOOR.

Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Samuel a. Dixon, M. D., LX»
D., Commissioner of Health
*- -
FVr the vast majority of plants sun i
jis an absolute necessity. They cannot 1
| grow uu.t thrive without it. It is of al- j
moat equal importance to human beitip
though comparatively few people reo- ,
ognire the fai-t.
When we walk into a bouse where 1
i the sun streams through the windowsj
j and brightens everything, instinctively
|we say, "what a <4ieerful place." The
stimulating effects of sunshine are difll
cult to estimate, but they are never- I
thejess a potent factor in maintaining i
our physical and mental health.
It has been said that suicides are j
more prevalent following a period of
rainy and depressing weather and fig
ures have been advanced to show that j
thev are more common among people'
who have rooms with a northern expo
sure lacking sunlight.
We all know how one's spirits are;
depressed bv a succession of rainy days !
but we lack a full appreciation of the |
| value of sunlight in our homes.
Tho germs of tuberculosis for ex- ,
ample will not survive for any length !
of time if expose to the suit's ravs|
It is a mistake to so protect our win-
I dows with shutters or curtains as to.
make it impossible to secure the max- j
iraum of sunlight. This is especially
true in the fall and winter when the
days irre short, but at all seasons of
the year sunlight is invigorating and
stimulating and almosit as mueh a ueces-1
sity as fresh air.
The planting of trees so close to
houses that they shut off tlie sun's rav»
isj.a mistake from a health standpoint.
Sun baths are beneficial in stimulat
ing the functions of the skin, sometimes'
to a degree whidi enables it to resist
i minor nilments.

PUBLIC INTEREST KEEN
IN THE "NOTIONS AT WAR"
Well-Informed'Renders Show Great Ap
preciation of the Star-Independent's
Presentation of tlie Conflict to Its
Readers
The public has placed its seal of ap
proval upon the efforts of the Star-
Independent to supply its readers with
an authoritative account of the Euro
pean struggle, an I is loud in its praises
of the presentation plan wherein a
fractional sum suffices to secure this
handsome addition to readers' local li
braries. So great has been the demand
for this wonderful .vork by the famous
W illis J. Abbot, and so strong has been
the approval of those who have secured
and looked the volume over, that the
Star-Independent feels it a compliment
to its enterprise in securing a lug allot
ment for its readers.
Since August, 1914, the entire world
has stood aghast at the wholesale
massacre in Europe, the destruction of
the great modern vessels on the high
seas throughout the world, the com
plete effacement of art, literary and
scientific treasure such as has never
before been known, all representing
millions upon millions in costs and hun
dreds of thousands of lives, the greatest
part of such a tremendous and perma
nent loss in usefulness to the entire
peoples of I lie world.
Multitudinous discussions, debates
and arguments concerning the causes,
objects and probable effects are heard
and read on all sides—and each reader
lacking in proof deferred forming an
opinion for himself until now. The
"Nations at War." an editorially au
thoritative work from the pen of ono
|who knows, will clear the public, mind
of doubts by its fair, impartial and
critically complete resume of all the
truths about the greatly misunderstood
struggle.
Through lhe Star-Independent's plan
every reader is enabled to possess this
volume par excellence at a mere pit
tance of its worth, 9S cents, to help
defray the expenses incident to its de
livery. Adv.*
