TONG RUN TO FIRE, " Need of a fire station in the. south- western part of the city was demon- strated late yesterday afternoon when a dwelling house owmned by Gustave Soderling at Brook and Greenwaood streets was damaged by fire, the loss being estimated at between $300 and $400. The blaze started in the attic from ‘an’ unascertained origin and worked into thé roof. Because of the long run for ccnt.nlly-!mud appara- tus, the flames had gained consider- able headway before the firemen ar- rived. Box'19 at Greenwood and Wal- lace streets was pulled at 4:45. One official of the fire department stated this morning that the loss would be more than cut in half, had there been apparatus stationed at the site of the proposed new. fire station. —————————— NOTICE.

Vawter went on the witness stand today and Tevealed her intimacies with Stock- ton Heth, Jr., in the hope of saving the life of her husband, a professor in the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, on trial for the murder of that wealthy young man. The recital was dramatic ana brought tears to many eyes in the court room as the attractive yeung woman - bravely blasted the un- ished name she had borne in the community and sacrificed herself and possibly the future happiness of her two children in:the hope of juutlrying her husbdnd. Fora year Mr. Heth had singled her out as his ppey and had ‘“dogged her tracks;”” Mrs. Vawter'began, a quaver in her voice at first. He had found all kinds .of excuses fo} coming/tq her ‘home when Professor Vawter was absent. That he was a fellow of pleasant manners and’. perhaps a wiining way with women was shown, she said, by the fact that his ro- mances with young married’ women long had been a matter of gossip In Virginia. No means was too low for Heth to employ to accomplish his end, Mrs. Vawter testified.. She said he taught her to drink whiskey, and with this as' his principal ‘ald, was an easy con- queror. ‘The young woman cried hys- tefically for a moment as she told how. she first fell a. victim ito drink and, that when she drank she fell a victim to Mr. Heth. But, recalling that she was on the stand to save her husband's life Mrs. Vawter recovered her composure quickly and told how, while her hus- band knew of her transgressions and of Mr, Heth’s duplicity, he condemned them repeatedly. On one occasion Professor Vawter saw her léaving Mr. Heth’s room, and denounced Mr. Heth toundly. The men fought, but Mr: Heth was a younger and stronger man, and Mrs. Vawter said she saw him drag her husband into her bedroom, apparent- ly unconecious. Fiiager Prints on Husband’s Throat. Mrs. Vawter: told of another occa- sion when Professar Vawter saw Mr. Heth trying to embrace her. Profes- sor Vawter again dencunced: him, ana later Mr. Heth took Professor Vawter into hia room and put him to bed. . On the following morning, -ho said, she found ‘finger prints on her hu-bu:a': throat. On the night of the tragedy Mrs. Vawter said, Mr. Heth was in the Vawter home when she and her hus- barid retired. She was awakened when she heard her little child eough- ing. ' She went to the hallway to get medicine and heard Mr. Heth call hen, “Come in,” she quated him as say- T want to talk to you.” will not,” she answered. Mr. Heth then caught her arm, she said; and she resisted. Upon. hearing Professor Vawter mdving around, she saild, she ran across the hall and went into the room of her children. Her husband went down stairs'and got a pistol, she said, and when she asked him to give it to her so that she might kill her- self, he refused. A struggle between Professor ,Vawter and Mr. Heth fol- lowed, and in the course of it came the pistol shots which ended Mr. Heth'’s life. “I have avenged the t-.mily ‘honor and I will go to trial with my lips sealed to 'protect your homor,” Mrs. Vawter said ‘her husband told her. “You will not,” Mrs. Vawter sald she told her husband, *“I will atone for my sins by baring mmlt to save you.” Asked whether her husband con- doned improper ‘acts with Heéth, she replied that he always upbraided and condemned her and that she always had concealed the facts from him. To counteract the effect of the let- ters introduced yesterday to show that Professor Vawter knew of the rela- tions between his wifé and Mr. Heth and had condoned their aéts and asked Mr. Heth to pay his‘whiskey bills, the defense called several alien- ists. . They testified that Professor Vawter was insane at the time he ‘wrote the letters and that he had not been mentally normal for a long time on any subject except his studies at the Polytechnic Institute.

Geo. A, Quhltv. Mayor, 'New Britain, Conn. “Dear Sir:— \ “Because of the great shortage of food supplies, cities all over the coun- try bave encouraged the planting of backyard gardens. Many - people bave planted gardens this year for the first time and there will be great loss unless some immediate action is taken to teach the fundhimentals of garden- ing and to conserve the seed that al- ready has gone into the ground. “For this reason we have employed F. F. Rockwell, the well known agri- culturist, to conduct demonstration gardens in the principal towns and cities of the East. He has already es- tablished a model garden in Unien Square, New York, and the city home gardeners are taking great interest in it; it is helping them to n.in more food per square foot. “Philadelphia is . establishing not only one, but twenty-four demonstra- tion gardens: At thesé gardenms, any- one interested in gardeming can see, by actual work on .a life size scale, Low the various garden problems are handled. By seeing the work actuslly done before his eyes, he can learn more of how to go about it himseif - (than he would from any number of circulars or articles. Garden questions are answered with actual demonstra- tion of the work involved. The im- miediate and general interest in these gardens has praoved their value. ““We have empioyed Mr. Rockwell for the entire summer and we will be :‘ltm to extend his service to your . “Although we are in the seed busi- ness we are not doing this as a busi- ness enterprise, but rather as & pa- triotlc duty. We will bear the entire expenss of Mr. Rockwell’s salary and will furnish free whatever seed is ro- quired for the demonstration garden. All we ask is‘that your city pay the actual rallway fare from Philadelphia “Mr. Rockwell and our corps of other experts are at your command.
