OUT EXPERIMENT
10 KILL INSECT
E. It. Van Leeuwcn who did Im
portant research work here with the
U. 8. department of agriculture in
the codding moth work and who de
parted about a month ago for Itlvcr
ton, M. J., where ho ia now stationed,
is engaged in experimentation on
methods for exterminating the new
est Insect menace In the United
States, the Japanese beetle,
Mr. Van Leeuwen, Is engaged In an
effort to find a poison that the beetle
will consider a gastronomic delicacy,
all Insect poisons so far having fail
ed to appeal to the pest's perverted
and sophisticated appetite.
Two or three yeors ago the Japan
ese beetle first appeared near Phila
delphia. This Insect Is a native of
Japan as the name Indicates. It Is
a metallic colored beetle, which prom
lues to become one of the worst pests
the American fruit and vegetalilo
growers have to face. Tho Insect Is
spreading very rapidly, It Is now cov
ering a large area In eastern Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. It feeds
on over 20J) host plants, feeding on
both the foliage and the fruit. Up to
the present tlmo no method of con
tiol has been found. The Insect re
fuses to' eat' plants which have been
sprayed with arsenic. It flies very
rapidly and unless It can ho checked,
It Is only a question of time until this
Insect will spread over the entire
United Stutos. The greatest hope of
control at this time seems to be to in
troduce parasites., Investigations
nindo by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show that this in
sect is no so serious In Japan as It
seemingly is .going to be In this cou
try. This Is due largely to the fact
that there are parasites In Japan
which tend to keep the beetle In
check. The government Is now at
work Introducing various parasites
with the hope that they can Import
enough of theso and breed them In
such large quantities that they will
Boon check the ravages of this beetle.
Meanwhile other methods of fighting
It may bo found.

MARION, 111., April 7. (By th

less than seven hours, a Jury for tho
second time this year walked into the
court room here lust 'night with a
verdict of not guilty for defendants,
charged . with murder in connection
with tho Herrln riots of last June.
The verdicts freed six defendants,
Hugh Willis, state executive board of
the Illinois miners; Phillip Fonta
netta, Oscar Howard. J. Brown ne
gro; Bert Grace and Otis Clark.
Grace and Otis Clark were acquitted
in the first Herein -riot 'trial. The
six were charged with murdering or
conspiracy to murder Antonio Mui
kavltch of Erie, Pa..'"a veteran of
the world war. Only one ballot for
each of the defendants, six in, all,,
was taken, the foreman of tho jury
said.
The formality of returning the ver
dicts was concluded in eight min
utes and the jurors began filing from
the box. -
Two minutes later the court house
was deserted and again flickering
shadows played in tho court room,
where sino February 12, save for
three delays the twelve Jurors, in
cluding seven farmers, a student, a
union painter, a merchant and two
union miners,' had listened to argu
ments of attorneys . and the testi
mony of witnesses and the Judge's
instructions.
-.Most of the 32 witnesses for the
state connected someone or-' another
of tho defendants with tho mob that
attacked tho Southern Illinois Coal
company mine and the slaying of
