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. Rockefeller. Sr., was appar
ently little worried. - He was out driv

car. The pickets saw him but said
nothing. Toung Mr. Rockefeller did
not show himself today, and it was said

NEW YORK, May 10. (Special.)
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. Rocke

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."

COLUMBIA. Mo, May 4. (Special.)
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.

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.

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.
