A tho re sult of long investigation into what agents of the department of justice declare U the biggest trust in the world, announcement was made here today thut criminal prosecutions of hulf a dozen of the most powerful financiers in the United States are to be begun by tho federal government. Agents of the department have re ported their find of evidence showing that a billion dollar combine exists, fathered by the I'ennsylvania railroad and which was organized to control the output of anthracite coal through out the whole of the United Statea. The government, it is alleged, will try to show that this gigantic com bination has for many year secretly used its power to extort enormous profits from tho coal trade, throttling all competition by withholding cars from concerns not in the trust. Dum my directors and secret, alliances be tween the railroad and the mining companies are reported as the basis of the combine. The subsidizing of small railroads and the buying up of enor mous coal holdings are said to have been the steps by which the trust throw them gained control of the coal situation. frantic hone "inciais oi me ueparimeni oi jus Iritit Miftitiiijyif.n u 1 1 1 fjir., uima rim.

Law Un Columbia Justioe Decide constitutional. Washington An attempt by con gress to define so closely the offense of "bucket shopping" as to make it impracticable in the District of Col umbia has resulted in the complete failure of legislation on the ground of unconstitutionality. Justice Wright, in the District Su preme court, has decided that the act referred to constituted an unwarrant ed interference with the right of the citizen to enter into contract relations and therefore was unconstitutional. The statute is of local application only and does not necessarily affect KNOX DRAFTS NEW TREATY. Albany. N. Y.. March 29.

Tarral, M-x.-Demands of 200 or more insurrectos for the surrender of the town of Inde, situated several hours' ride from the national railroad, were refused by the jefe politico and as a result a lire lasting live hours was directed on the town. The inisurrectos lost eight men. A boy was sent by the insurrectos with a message to the authorities ask ing for surrender, promising no pillag ing w as to be done. The boy was de tained and a short time afterwards a few shots droptH'd into the plaza. Just then the tri-color of the republic was run up th? pole by order of the jefe as a defiance to the invaders, and then the firing commenced with vigor. Head of Duma Quits, St. Petersburg - A. J. Guchffok, leader of the Octoberist party, has re signed as president of the Douma. A few days ago he announced at a meet ing of the Octoberist group that he in tended to take this action. On that occasion the Octoberist deputies Inti mated that they would resign their seats in the Douma, but on advice of their central committee at Moscow they will retain their seats for the present. Tho Isiurse was very weak, owing to the critical political situation, and a panic developed in the Moscow bourse. Plow Trust Organized. Molino, 111.

On April 2, 1910, however, when indict ments were obtained, raids on "shops" in seven cities were made simultaneouidy, wires were cut and customers were thrown into panic. Since then, according to Attorney General Wickersham, "bucket-shopping" has become a thing of the past east of Lenver. The government announced its in tention to apeal from Justice Wright's decision.

Grower Petition for Reduction Tariff From Northwest, Washington Inequalities in the freight charges on raw wool from the Western and Northwestern wool states to Fastern wool markets, especially Chicago, St. Louis and Boston, are the subjects of a complaint made to the Interstate Commerce commission by the National Woolgrowers' association against the Oregon Short Line railroad and many other Western and North western railays. It is averred that wool rates are unreasonable and discriminatory, and the particular preference is given by the mads to Pacific coast terminals. The rates are asserted to be from 7J cents to 10 cents too high, in compar ison with rates from other wool terri tory. It is declared thut the defend ant railways are also violating the long and short haul provision of the law. Wool Schedule is First. Washington Democratic members of the ways and means and the rules committees are rushing their work in order to be ready to report on time. It is probable that the ways and means committee, after presenting its recom mendations on organization of com mittees, will submit only one revised document will be the first of its kind. It will be used as a model for similar conventions with other countries. Negotaition of a general arbitration treaty with Great Britain is the direct result of the speech of Sir Edward Grey, minister of Foreign affairs of Great Britain, in the house of com mons several weeks ago, in which he said that a proposal for negotiation of such a convention would be welcomed by the British government. While President Taft and Mr. Knox have been in favor of such a treaty for some months, they were not in clined to make definite proposal of the subject to Great Britain until official information had first been obtained as to the probable attitude of that coun try toward the proposal. The speech of Sir Fdward Grey cleared up this phase of the situation and paved the way for actual negotiations. The attitude of tho senate will de termine whether or not other conven tions, similar to that negotiated with Great Britain, will be drawn up and submitted for ratification. It is understood that preliminary exchanges have been made through the State department to ascertain the attitude of the French -government to ward a general arbitration treaty cov ering all future disputes. These con ventions, if ratified and put into oper ation, will be a long step towards in ternationl peace. United States Coma First. Copenhagen During the debate in the Landsthing on the renewul of the Anglo-Danish arbitration treaty. Count Ahlefeldt Laurvig, the minis ter of Foreign affairs, said he had en deavored to renew the compact on a broader basis but that the British government had declined the proposi tion on the ground that a treaty with the United States must precede all other general arbitration treaties which Great Britain might conclude.

Kucldrg Insects, Katlng Insects consume the affected titsues. corrnenly the leaves, ar. thereby hinder the functions of the p'ant. The romn:cn example Is the potato "bug" or beetle. Insects of this class are destroyed by poisoning their food. Sucklrg Insects do not consume the external tissue of the plant, but fptd only on the sap. In order to accoi:.pll:;h this the Insect thrust Its probopcla through the ex ternal coverings and sucks the Juices In the same way as a mosquito sucks blood. As these Insects do not con sume the tissue of the leaf or branch. pobons are of no avail. Wa must therefore attack the Insects. This Is done by covering them with some sub stance which will penetrate their bodies, or with substaiice which closes their breathing pores. To repeat: (1) Biting or chewing Insect are destroyed by placing poison on the part on which the Insects feed. (2) Sucking Insect are destroyed only by attacking the Insects and for this class poL-sons are of no avail. Apple scab, brown rot of plum and peaches, potato rot, blight, rust and other destructive plant disease are commonly ascribed to weather con ditions. Indirectly this Is often true, but neither rain nor drought nor any other atmospheric condition I ever directly the cause of plant diseases. Rainy weather doe not directly cause plum rot, but provide condi tions favorable to the development of tho fungus, and probably unfavorable condition for the development of the plum and It ability to resist the In vasion of the disease. Fungi (plant diseases) are propa gated by spores, minute bodies which Barrel and Cart Spraying Outfit. may float In the air and are usually too small to be discerned singly with out uMng a compound microscope. These spores alight on leaf or fruit and under favorable conditions of heat and ir.clsture germinate, giving rise to threadlike projections which pene trate the plant' tissues. The main fact to be borne In mind Is this: The spores which may be present In Innumerable numbers may be destroyed or their germination pre vented by the application of certain substances known as fungicides, while exhtlr.g as spores on the outside of plants, but after these have pene trated the tissue of leaf, stem or root. rprarlrg Is of no avr.ll.

By thia means bltlr.g Insects and fungi are controlled at a single operation. No other fact Is more Important than this In spraying. Arsenate of lead Is a poison for biting insects and Is less liable to In jure foltege than Paris green. It re mains longer In suspension. It ad here better to foliage. It may b used for any purpose for which Paris green Is employed In liquid sprays. The formula Is: Arsenate of lead, J to 3 pounds; water, 50 gallons.
