Shot to Protect His Mother,

An affair that came near ending in the killing
Of Levi H. Jackson, colored, happened in
Allensworth's grocery store, on NJ between Sd
and ~ streets, Friday evening. Mr.. Aliens
worth was sick in bed at the time and his wife
and their fifteen-year-old son Julian were in
charge of the store.
Mr.. Jackson's daughter was sent to the store
for some flour and Mr.. Jackson went over and
claimed that the change WAS wrong. Another
young cOlored man came in the store to cor
roborate part of what Jackson said and Mrs.
Allensworth threw small weight at him dur
ing the discussion.
Jackson picked up the weight, and. according
to the witnesses on Mrs. Allensworth's side he
raised his arm though he were going to
strike her, when the son fired pistol in his
direction. The powder burned his face, but
did no further damage Mr.. Jackson denies
that he intended to strike the woman or that
he raised his arm, as stated by others, but
when Judge Miller heard the case today the
weight of the proof .was against him and the
judge found from the proof that the boy fired the
shot as he supposed to protect his aged mother.
The judge advised her to get rid of the pistol
and told her she had better send for an officer
to settle such difficulty than to resort to the
use of pistol.
charge of assault against the boy was dis
missed

The Caterpiiiars Coming.

To the Editor OF. The Evening Star:
Already notice some caterpillar nests on
my trees and presume others have also. want
to suggest that every citizen take special pains
to destroy them at their first appearance, as
every one now destroyed will prevent thousands
later in the season. A little effort and atten-
ton by each one who has trees or shrubbery
will be of great benefit. OF course the parking
commission must look after the trees on the
streets. though don't see why citizens may
not help even there. l suggest that they, or
the Agricultural Department. publish for the
information of the public the best-knOwn means
for destroying them. London purple and kero-
sene emulsions are both recommended by the
agricultural press for these and most other
kinds of insects injurious to trees and shrub-
berry. but unless properly prepared they are
injurious to vegetation also. Why won't the
department give to the press the approved
formula or proportions and methods of apply
ing? presume it has in its reports. but city
people seldom or never see them. and hence it
would be well to have this information pub
lished in the daily papers. Tearing the nests
to pieces alone will not answer-the worms
should be destroyed to prevent their depre-
dation and their increase, which is exceedingly
rapid. W. D.
