Six teen agitators. 12 men and four women in charge of Arthur Caron, came to Tarrytown today on the 8:40 train and . proceeded to - Pocantico Hills, where Iney pioketed the entrances of the Rockefeller estate until 1 o'clock. The estate was gi-:'rded today, four guards being at each gate, and all were armed with clubs and guns. The marchers split up in two parties to picket two gates. There was almost a riot at one gate when the .guards compelled a woman plcketer to come down out of a tree. One of the picketers nailed up a Bign that said: 'Rottenfeller shoots men and women and children in the interest of mines, but he will learn from me he s no longer to be an individualist." John r.

Many rioters were hurt today in melee that followed a descent of Bouck White and his followers frdtn the Church of Revolution on Calvary Bap tist Church, in "West Fifty - seventh street, of which John D. Rockefeller is a member, to challenge Rev. Cor nelius M. Woelfkin, pastor of the church, to debate on "Did Jesus Teach the Immorality of Being Rich?" As a result Bouck White and ten of his followers were conveyed as prison ers to the West Forty-seventh-street police station nursing bruises and con tusions received in the clash with De tective Sergeant Cegan and his men, who had been detailed to watch out for disorder. The descent upon the church today was a direct outcropping of the efforts of the Free Silence League, Socialists, I. W. W. and other organizations to in flict the ''social chill" on John D.

TOUR PLANNED AS LAST DANDELIONS WAR " IS ON Minnesota Bureau Tells llow Eradioate Lawn Pests. to The little dandelions that are begin nlng to lend a tinge of gold to other 'wise well-kept lawns, are about to be come the victims of a murderous at tack. They are to be beheaded with the garden blade if the advice which the botany department of the agrl cultural college is issuing will be oDeyea. in response to inquiries as to how the invasion of the dandelion may be resisted without? violation of the principles of international law and an excess of work, the department has issued - a circular which specifies 17 different ways for repelling the at tack. "Where there are only a few stray plants, cut the roots oft below the sur face with a spade or knife," says the circular. "Gasoline or kerosene ap plied to the crown of the plant will kill them. In case the dandelion has already taken complete possession of the lawn and raised its own flag, the department thinks the best method of procedure is to bombard them with sulphate of iron spray. The solution is made of pound and a half of iron sulphate to a gallon of water. The spray bom bardment should begin on a bright morning when the probability of rain within the next 24 hours is Rlle-ht The spray should be applied about once a month. "When this method of eradication is used," says the bulletin, "it is always well to. reseed the lawn in April, June and September. A good grass mixture is 14 pounds of Kentucky bluegrass. two pounds or white clover and two pounds of solid redtop seed."

The state fruit report for Missouri for May was issued by John Bland, secre tary of the State Board of Horticulture. The report says: , "Missouri's fruit crop will be worth a lot of money this year if it suffers no further serious damage. As compared to a full crop, the prospect now stands as follows: Apples, 92 per cent; peaches, 31 per cent; strawberries, 70 per cent. "North Missouri (lowest district), all counties adjoining the Missouri River upstream from Boone County, Central Missouri) Apples, 90 per cent; peaches, 7 5 per cent; strawberries, 90 per cent. Shortage is due to late Winter freezing of peaches and effect of last year's drought on strawberries and apples. Shortage in some orchards due to ex. cessively heavy crop last year. "Remainder of North and Central Missouri Apples, 90 per cent; peacnes, 70 per cent; strawberries, 90 per cent. Shortage due - to same causes as in western river district. BATAVIA. Java, IJllian Nordict, th tonight." Lillian Kordica was an American singer of world-wide tame. Her ad mirers ranged ' from the men of the Bowery section- of New Tork. where she had sung at mission meetings, to the most critical box-holders of grand opera-houses in all of the world s great musical centers. - A farmhouse, built by the prima don nas great-granaratner, on a nui just outside of the village of Farmington. Me., was Nordica's birthplace, in 1859. Her true name was Lillian Norton. She changed it to the Italian. Nordica, 20 years later, when she began to study in Italy for an operatic career. FMrnt Tour Made With Band. After her graduation from the New England Conservatory of Music at Bos ton, and suecessfur singirig of the lead ing roles in several of the oratorios given by the Haendel and -Haydn So ciety, she went to Europe in 1878 as soloist with Gilmore s band. She clung tenaciously to classical music, and was well received by great audiences in the Crystal Palace, London, and the Troca dero, Paris. Her debut in opera was at Brescia in 1879 in "La Traviata." After a trip to St. Petersburg she appeared for trial before Ambrose Thomas and the im- pressario, Voncorbeil, who engaged her for the Grand-opera House in Paris. Her first appearance there, in 1882 Marguerite in "Faust." was a triumph. The critics observed her American ac cent, -but said it gave piquancy to her tone, and her acting was lauded as equal ti her singing. - She returned to America and toured this country with great success. Her repertoire included more than 50 operas. Her success with Wagnerian roles was the pinnacle of her fame. Singer Three Times Married Her matrimonial ventures numbered three. She was first married in 188 to Frederick A. Gower.-a wealthy elec trician and native of her State of Maine, whom she met in Paris. Short lv after she had begun separation pro ceedlngs. In ls4, uower disappeared. He attempted a balloon trip across the English Channel. Although the balloon was later found, nothing was ever heard or seen of him. In 1896 Mme. Nordica was married to Zoltan Doeme, a Hungarian army offi cer and singer, from whom she secured divorce in 190o. Her third marriage was in London, in 1909. to George W. Young, a wealthy New York banker. It was announced at that time Nordica would retire from the stage, but after a honeymoon, she decided on a farewell concert tour of the world. . It was while making one leg of this trip on the Dutch steamer to American trade," remarked Edwin Shapey, a tall, calm, young mining en gineer from Philadelphia, who has de veloped mining property in Durango, Juana Juatio, Jalisco, "for our offense is only that of our forefathers. We are pioneers. Future generations' of politicians and publicists will doubt less call us blessed, though this one is trying to bust us. "Thank God I am not married, any way, because I am not English. If I were an Englishman, I know I'd be pro tected. Now I have plenty of evidence I won't. "The rebels came into my house, took what they could carry, and wantonly ruined what they could not carry. They cut my harness all to pieces that they couldn't carry. I am fond of music, as it breaks the monotony in the moun tains they took my guitar up that was lyong on the bed and smashed it to flinders wantonly, for no reason. "I had an English friend, and he crave me his English passport. I came from Jalisco in a train carrying the English flag," he continued, "thank God for the English flag." Return Will X.t Be Attempted. "When are you going back to the property?" "If the troops withdraw without go ing to the City of Mexico?" "Yes." "Never. None of the Americans will. If the troops withdraw now after tak- ng Vera Cruz no American's life will be worth a cigarette in the interior for the next dozen years. We all have to give power of attorney to some Mexi can to sell what hasn't been burned for whatever it will bring. "There were about 40,000 of us in Mexico when this revolution business started, all pioneers of our kind of civilization, and our kind of civiliza tion seems to have gone back on us. There are 100,000 square miles of government land left in Mexico much of it the best the mines haven't been exploited to 5 per cent of their value with drainage and irrigation the coun try will support a splendid population of white farmers. I General Deficiency Bill Held Back in Vieitf or Possibility or Xeed of Emergency lVund Sen ate Debating Tolls. WASINGTON. May 10. With the Panama canal tolls exemption debate running strong in the Senate and the House facing a record vote on the pro posed, constitutional amendment for nation-wide prohibition. Congress prom ises to have a busy week. Interest in the House centers in Mex ican developments. Representatives generally, including some Administra tion sponcors. would not be surprised if the week would be marked by some de cistve move by the Administration. Congress is prepared for any war em ergency. Lying on Speaker Clark's desk is a resolution from the military affairs committee, the passage of which would make immediately available the two hundred million dollars of the an nual army appropriation bill. The ap propriations committee is holding back its big general deficiency bill on a pos sibility of a call for emergency war ap propriation. Appropriations Bill Considered, The Senate probably will pass the ag ricultural appropriation bill before Sat urday, the appropriations committee probably will report the legislative, ex ecutive and judicial appropriation bill and the Indian affair committe the In dian appropriation bill. Adjournment was taken yesterda yuntil Tuesday as a mark of respect to the American sailors and marines killed at Vera Cruz. The Senate interstate commerce com mittee will conclude its hearing on the trade committee anti-trust bill, early in the week and a report may be made shortly. There is a feeling on the part of some Democratic Senator that this legislation should not be taken up by them at the present session. , House Democrats will hold a caucus Tuesday night, with adjournment early in July in view. Present plans of leaders contemplate passage of the necessary bills, enactment of several anti-trust measures, the rural credits and a vote on the prohibition amend ment. Issnes Threaten Cancos. All these subjects, with the excep tion of the amendment, will come up in the caucus and an effort may be made to discover party sentiment on prohibition. The caucus will be a sort of free-for. all affair, and some insistent members threaten to bring up both the prohlbl tion resolution and the woman suf frage resolution, the latter issue hav ing been declared to be a local and not a national issue by a previous Dem ocratic caucus. All kinds of rumors about the pros pects for action on the prohibition res olution are flying about the Capital. Some of the pro-pronibition members assert they will fight to win, with the sentiment of the country back of them, and that they believe they will com mand a large vote in the House. Mem bers opposed to the resolution declare that it could win on a majority vote, but that it cannot possibly muster two thirds of the House, necessary for pas sage of a Constitutional amendment.
