Both Loved Edna Goodrich, Good win Won, Then Lost After 12 Mlnuto Stare, They Separate. LOS ANGELES, CaL, June S. .Spe cial.) A silent battle of nerve without a word or a blow. In an atmosphere surcharged with dynamlo force,- was fought at a Hotel Alexandria clgarstand today. The party of the first part was Nat Goodwin, actor, mining; promoter and perennial bridegroom, recently di vorced from Edna Goodrich. The party of the second part was Harry McMillan, ertstwhile mining promoter and lively rival for the band of Edna at the same time that Nat was in active training. They have not spoken since. Goodwin strolled up and asked for bis favorite cigar. McMillan absent mindedly approached at the same time. Neither saw the other. The clerk, recognizing both, became confused and handed Goodwin the wrong box. Nat repulsed It, and McMillan, recognizing what be wanted, was reaching for a handful when he looked up and froze into a statue. Goodwin casually raised his eyes and stood transfixed. A delivery boy ar rived with a bundle of magazines and threw them on the counter. On top was one with, a gorgeous , colored pic ture of Edna Goodrich on the cover. Both men, standing stock still, each de termined not to be the first to give ground, cast their eyes on it. The duel lasted If minutes. Then the belligerents simultaneously turned on their heels, each throwing into a shrug of his shoulders a world of dis dain for the other. Neither paid for his cigars and a boy had to be sent to collect. FLY IS DEATH TO BEETLE Parasite That Will Kill Douglas Fir Enemy Is Discovered. SEATTLE, Wash, June 3. (Special.) The bark bettle, which destroys Douglas fir throughout the timbered districts of the United States to the extent of almost 1100,000.000 annually and which was believed by expert en tomologists to be without a parasite, has been found to have a deadly enemy. Professor Trevor Klncald. head of the department of zoology at the Univer sity of Washington, is the discoverer. The parasite la a small red fly with smoky wings and a Ions; stlnger-like organ behind. The parasite instinct ively discovers the beetle and lays its eggs in the beetle's tunnel Professor Klncald says the newly discovered parasite will destroy from 25 to 50 per cent of a colony of beetles in one season. The discovery was made In Ravenna Park, In Seattle, while Professor Klncald was out in ths woods with one of his classes. Professor Klncald attained promi nence by his discovery of a parasite on the gypsy moth, which was destroying millions of dollars' worth of fruit trees annually. He was sent to Japan three years ago by the United States Gov ernment on the track of this parasite and later to Russia, success crowning his efforts In both countries.

Lumberand Paper Men Foes of Reciprocity. VOTERS BUNCOED BY INTERESTS President Scores Hired Organ izers of Opposition. PEOPLE APPROVE MEASURE Confident Agreement Will Pass and Be Beneficial, President Tells Audience Former Dire Pro phesies Proved False. CHICAGO, June 3. President Taft. In a speech before the Western Eco nomic Society here tonight, declared that the principal opposition to the Canadian reciprocity agreement came, not from the farmer, but from the lumber trust and from American manufacturers of print paper. In one of the most conspicuous ad dresses that he had ever made on this subject, the President outlined some of the methods employed by the advocates of the reciprocity agreement; he prac tically told others, that they were be ing "buncoed" by special interests, and , said that the result depended not so much upon the United States Senate as upon the people. '. "It the farmer and the people at large," he said, "could be brought to understand this question, they would no longer fear to vote." Lobbyists Are Scored. The President was not sparing in his words. He told the reasons for the opposition to the treaty by the lumber trust and by the paper manufacturers and. without, using names, scored any firm any of whose members recently appeared before the Senate finance committee in Washington ostensibly , on behalf of the National Grange.. In spite of the forces that are arraigned against it, the President ex pressed the belief that the bill will -be passed. "The bill," he said, "will be passed, if it is pr.ssed at all, because the force of public opinion is In its favor." The President aid in part: "The reciprocity agreement, provid ing for free trado in agricultural pro ducts in the two countries and for a corresponding reduction on the sec ondary food products and for a con siderable reduction in a number of manufactured goods passed the House of Representatives in April last, was referred by the Senate to its committee on finance and there has been under consideration by the committee. While hearings have been held at consider able length and we hope that the bill will be brought before the Senate soon, possibly without recommendation, some time during the coming week, nothing definite can be said ss to the ultimate fate of the bill. People Approve Bill. "It seemed mutually profitable to ex tend the consideration of the tariffs of the two countries, already begun, to the point ' of a complete reciprocity agreement. Commissioners who had ex pert knowledge of the subject were appointed and after investigations and study and conferences that covered an entire year, an agreement was finally reached, which has been embodied In the bill which has passed the House and is pending in the Senate. The cor dial approval throughout the country which the proposed agreement received when it was sent to Congress surprised even those who were responsible for its making, and I am surprised that further consideration of the bill has been delayed so long. "The treaty Is pending in Washing-' ton and the decision must be made in the Senate of .the United States. The bill will pass, if it passes at all. be cause of the force of public opinion in its favor." The proposition has been made and has received general approval, that the various schedules of the tariff should be considered separately and the amount of protection to be furnished to a particular product should be de termined on its merits with reference to the cost of its production at home and abroad. "The Canadian reciprocity agreement, in a little different way, involves in its consideration the same proposition. It calls for the same thing, without the necessity of tariff reform. Opposition Is Fictitious. "I venture to think that there is much less real opposition to reciprocity than has been represented in Wash ington for the purpose of influencing' votes in both houses. I am very hope ful that the bill will pass the Senate and when it does pass and has been agreed upon by the Canadian .Parlia ment, its actual operation will be so beneficial to both countries that the arguments against its adoption will be forgotten or will only be remembered as exaggerated Instances of perverted Imagination. I say this because I have examined the arguments and compared them with the actual statistics, and because of similar experiences that tba Concluded on Fag t-l
