TRAGERY OF FOUR DEATHS RECALLED.

MAIDSTONE, Jan. 6th. While in Maidstone to-day mak ing inquiries into the floods in the neighbourhood I heard a rumour that the investigation of the mystery of the four-fold bragedy of Wateringbury Hall is being re opened writes an Evening Stan dard correspondent.

Captain R. B. L. Bazley White, D.S.O., bis wife, their four-year- old son.. Joan, and the murao, Misa Rose Weekes, perished in the fire that destroyed the mansion during the night of Otober 17th Just.

A long investigation by Mr. A. H. Nere, the Tonbridge district Coroner, and a jury completely failed to provide any solution of the mystery of how the fire t Wateringbury Hall began

An open verdict was returned at the inquest. The coroner, at the start of the proceedings, referred to the conflict of evidence on the question

to where the firm

originated, and observed:-

of

A discovery which pay open a new chapter in the history British agriculture is being intro- duced to Great Britain from China by way of Germany.

It consists in the development of the enormous potentialities of a grain of corn by planting first in a carefully prepared seed bed and then transplanting in the ordinary corn land by the aid of machinery that saves nine-tenths of hand kabour.

The present British average erop the acre. of wheat is thirty-two bushels to It is claimed that the crop obtainable from an acre of good arable land by the new method reaches 100 bushels, and that where bartey and oats are grown the in- ertase is proportionately greater.

If transplanting could be prac tised throughout Great Britain, and country would soon cease to depend hieve the results claimed, the

The only point on which the jury expressed a definite opinion was chat the fire started in the study. Stephen Butchers, 2 Iazm Jabourer, who gave evidence at the inquest, said that when attempts were made to arouse the family-many, where after servants,, had escaped-there was no response from within to the breaking of windows, although there was then no evidence that the room of Captain, Bazley-White o the nursery was alight.

When transplanting takes place the scade have been in their firet bed for about three weeks, and the time for transplanting is the earliest possible date after the old harvest has been cleared.

The foreman of the jury after further evidence had been giv, said they would like to be satisfed about certain firearms found in the

This witness said he had not seen before the other weapon produced -an automatic pistol. Three cart- ridges in this had been exploded by the fire. There was also a sporting gun in the house.
