Data Regarding Pollination Factors
of Different Varieties to Be
Studied Carefully.
THE DALLES, Or., April 20. (Spe
cial.) Experiments in cherry pollina
tion upon a scale never before at
tempted anywhere in the country, and
which are expected to produce data of
inestimable value to horticulturists
of the nation, will be conducted in
Wasco county starting "-next week.
Professor C. E. Schuster of Oregon
Agricultural college, a corps of as
sistants. County Agent Jackman and
Horticultural Bureau Chief Nelson,
thj latter two of Wasco county, will
be in charge, it was announced today.
It is expected that more than 20,000
individual cherry blossoms will be
pollenized artificially from the sev
eral varieties of trees now known to
be fertile. Records will be kept of
each blossom. Lack of pollination as
one of the big limiting factors in
production, was one of the discov
eries of Professor V. R. Gardner of
Oregon Agricultural college, in in
complete experiments conducted in
Wasco county several years ago.
It is hoped to bring out definite in
formation regarding which of the
new known pollinating varieties are
the most fertile, especially upon such
varieties as the Bing, Lambert and
Royal Anne cherries, which are not
only sterile themselves, but inter
sterile, or incapable of pollenizing
other varieties. It is expected that
the experiments will start early next
week, when Wasco county orchards
will be in full bloom.

3f ystery Deepens When Senator Bo
rah, Investigating Case, Leaves
Hurriedly for Capital.
NEW YORK, April 20. General
Gregorie Semenoff. former ataman of
the Cossacks, who was' freed on $25,
000 bail last night from Ludlow-street
jail, dropped out of sight today and
even hig lawyers said they were not
certain where he could be located.
The general's bail, in cash, was pro
vided by the Russian National Boclety
and the Association for the Unity of
Russians, an organization of Russian
monarchists. As soon as he was freed
last night the Cossack leader leaped
into a taxicab and was whisked away.
Ezra P. Prentice, chief of the gen
eral's legal staff, said he did not know
where his client is staying. One of
Prentice's assistants said he knew the
address but had not been able to find
the general in today. He refused to
give out the address.
Madame Semenoff checked out of
the Waldorf Astoria yesterday. She
took with her the six boxes which she
has declared contain all the posses
sions of herself and her husband. She
gave the hotel no forwarding address.
Efforts of attorneys for the Touroveta
Home & Foreign Trading company,
which caused the arrest of Semenoff,
to locate the general were unavailing
and reporters also failed to locate him.
Officials of the society which pro
vided the bail, said tonight that they
could not give the address where Se
menoff might be found.
A new angle of the mystery devel
oped when Senator Borah of Idaho,
who has urged Semenof f's deportation,
left New York for Washington in such
a hurry that he left a package of im
portant papers in his room. The sen
ator had come to the city personally
to investigate the ease. He said he
was to meet three persons who would
be of value in his investigation, but
he saw no one.
He registered for the night in room
1167 at the Waldorf-Astoria. About
four hours earlier Madame Semenoff
had checked out of the same room,
but Senator Borah did not know at
the time that the man he was investi
gating had occupied the very room he
had.
Just before noon he left the hotel.
He telephoned back to ask the man
ager to send on the package of let
ters, and said he was going to Washington.

outside.

tary and Tom Kruder of Gresham

OFFICER IS EXONERATED
Shooting of Lon Marsh in Chinese
Restaurant Held Justified.
Investigation yesterday by police
detectives resulted In a complete ex
oneration for L. F. Russell, police
man attached to the dance hall detail,
who shot and wounded Lon Marsh
in a fight at a Chinese restaurant
Wednesday night.
Many witnesses were examined and
all told the polioe that Marsh had
been the aggressor throughout and
that Russell had fired only in self
defense after all other means of sub
duing Marsh had failed.
Through inadvertency It was first
reported that George F. Russell, a
pioneer police patrolman, was the
on who had wounded Marsh. This
error was due to the fact that L. K.
Russell has been nicknamed 0ors
and even many of bis brother officers
thought that to be his correct name.
Marsh is still in a hospital with a
bullet wound in the abdomen. His re
covery was expected.
