Scene from "Alma" at the Bennington wi ' i u ' h fNO MYSTERY INTHE KILLING OF "BIG Police Claim Murder Was Ac of Personal Revenge. WHITMAN IS NOT SO SURE District Attorney Believes that Shoot ing of Important Witness Was More than Coincidence. New York. Oct. 7. Deputy Police Commissicner Dougherty declared last night that he was satisfied the motive for the murder of "Big Jack" Zelig by "Red Phil" Davidson Satur day night was not to seal Zelig's Hps against Becker. After questioning Davidson for several hours yesterday and investigating events leading up to the killing of Zelig, the deputy com missioner said he was Inclined to cred It Davidson's story that he killed Ze lig in revenge because the latter had robbed him of money. Though the tragedy occurred al most on the eve of the Becker trial and Zelig had been subpoenaed as a wiliiess, the authorities are inclined to the opinion that the "gunman's" death with relation to the Rosethal murder and notice graft was merely a coincidence. "Lefty Louie," "Gyp the Blood" and other gunmen who are awaiting trial for the murder of Rosenthal ridiculed Davidson's story when seen in their cells last nfght and insisted that Zelig's taking off was planned and the plot executed to prevent his appearance at Becker's trial. It was reported that "Bald Jack" Rose who w ill be a state witness against Becker, had warned District Attorney Whitman that Zelig never would live to testify against the pol ice. District Attorney Whitman last night, though admitting that no proof had yet been found to indicate that Zelig's death was the result of a con spiracy, was inclined to regard the murder as "more than a coincidence." The prosecutor insisted that he bad fiubpoeaned Zelig as a witness in the Becker trial and said he had expected hia testimony to have an Important bearing on the case. He added, however, that he bad other witnesses who knew the facts he had planned to reveal through Ze lig. The prosecutor further stated that Zelig's death would mean that Detectives White and Steinert would not be brought to trial on perjury charges. These detectives were al leged to have "framed" Zelig for car rying a revolver and later, according to statements before the grand Jury, former Lieut Becker dropped the case against Zelig after Zelig had aided In rounding up the gang who shot Ros enthal.

After long experimenting and study Professor Gottlieb Haberlandt of the Botanic institute of Grati, In Styrla, declares that plants, the word taken, In its w idest sense and Including trees, can see. The professor says that he, has suC' ceeded through photography and the use of the microscope in reproducing the Images reflected on the visual or gans of plant. The linages included objects at different distances and even persons and houses.' Plants may, be says, be classed with the inferior ant mala In this respect. Ills observations have been confirmed by Dr. Nuttall and Dr. Hnrold Wagner. We are still so ignorant of animal. plant and Insect life (because we do .ot understand tbelr language) that we fancy the plant, like the Insect, Is not conscious of whnt It sees, but that 1 probably a discovery for the future At present we are forced to accept the theory thnt they are not conscious. But that they do see Professor Tla borlnndt says he has satisfactorily proved. lie has found the same ml nute eye such as belongs to bees and other Insects In sycamore leaves. In the sugar niale and In the Peruvian acanthus. The eyes of plants appear different from the eyes of Insects lu that they have no coloring matter, though this Is not yet determined. The professor Is continuing bis ex pertinents, and he experts to make fur ther Interesting and surprising an nouncements. He says that the fact that plants and trees have eyes Is tin doubtedly a proof that all natural life is linked lu one long chain. Chicago Tribune. TO IMPROVE THE CLIMATE. Russia's Daring Scheme to Divert the Flow of Siberian Rivers. A daring scheme Is proposed to Ru' sla for altering the flow of waters on so vast a scale that even meteorolog ical and climatic conditions may be Improved. Agricultural Interests In tb9 eastern and southern provinces suffer severely from the frequent droughts which are ascrllied partly to extensive deforestation and partly to the pro gressive drying up of western Asia. The idea has Iteen coucelved of dl verting the flow of certain Siberian rivers from the north to the south so thnt their waters would eventually find their way Into thos great Inland seas, the Crnl and the Caspian. Aa the surface of thene would he thereby doubled or even quadrupled. thcr would le a great Increase In the at mospherio moisture and consequent precipitation of the surrounding coun try, as well as Inrger available sup plies for Irrigation where desirable. This diversion of flow Is to be ac complished by building dams across the Obi and ToN.I rivers at point where tbelr banks are exceptionally high. When the water would rpflch the top f the lisnks It wonld stand at far higher level than the Caspian, and considerably aUive the TraL It wonld then only be necessary to cnt a short caual through the divide which separates the northern flowlnc from the southern flowing rivers of west ern AM to direct the fructifying wa ters of tho--e mlchty streams toward the two great lakes Instead of allow ing them to be lost In the Arctic ocean.
