"Dr. Wagner is in the asylum, and is the
man of all others, by reason of his con-
dition, at whose door the defendants would
most naturally lay this terrible crime. To
grant a respite in order that the defend
ants might be used as witnesses to procure
his conviction. would result in a delay of
at least a year, as experience in the trial
of defendants have demonstrated. In view
of the various conflicts in defendants state
ments no jury would, or could, believe any
statement that either of them might make,
and consequently Wagner would not be
convicted. Such delay could result in no
good and would only add fuel to the flames
and furnish a further incentive TO mob vio-
lence in this State.

clemency cannot be considered. He shows
himself the willing and ready assistant.
Each of them has clearly exhibited a reck-
less disregard for human life. Their con-
fessions. taken in connection with the facts
and circumstances proven in the case,
snow that they committed an atroclouS
crime. Life is precious to them, but no
more so than it waste their victim. Their
poor mothers are entitled to sympathy,
but no more than the mother of Pearl
Bryan.
THE law has been set at defiance and
the fair name of Kentucky stained with
another bloody murder. Twelve men have
passed the guilt of each. The circuit
judge and appellate judges have affirmed
their action. My oath is that L will see
that the laws are faithfully executed
The jury fixed the penalty: l have a plain
duty TO perform. 1t is not my province TO
make laws, but TO enforce them; neither
is it my province to fix the death penalty.
Is it proper that should intervene to
prevent its infiiction when the law and
the evidence authorize it.
Respite refused.

Professor WoOdworth on the Results
of His Investigations
FRESNO. CAL, April 20.-Professor G..
w. Woodwork of the State University is
at present engaged in conducting expert
ments in vineyards near this city to devise
some means of destroying the thrips or
vinehoppers, which have come out in
countless numbers this season and
threaten the raisin crop. 1t is now known
that the hoppers are ''hodovers' from
last years vintage, which have survived
the winter and are now as lively as ever
and Exceedingly hungry. Vineyards that
were winter plowed anu plowed deep ar
the least infested by the hoppers.
The investigation will be pursued closely
by Professor Woodworth, with a view of
determining the true character and habits
of the thrips and discovering method
for their determination. In ali interview
with THE CALL correspondent, the profess
sor stated that the situation was m ore
serious than he had expected, the thrips
being more bundant this year than they
had ever been before SO early in the spring.
1t was the first time, he said, that he had
known this insect to produce curl of the
young leaves, and IL reminded him some
what OF the Santa Clara hoppers. He be-
lleved that If something was not done
within two weeks to stop the ravages OF
the pest it would cause the buds to drop
and destroy the first crop of grapes.

The Grand Jury held a session yester-
day afternoon The point having been
raised that the indictment presented
against DR.. F. H. Stable at the last meet

According to information submitted TO
the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon the
'pulP' has been at work again in Judge
Conlan's and Judge Lows police courts.
There was a cloud OF witne to en-
tighten the jury. The offender in the
case bears close relation to an emplove
at the New City Hail. The case will be
heard again next Friday.

FRESNO VINEYARDS
IN GREAT DANGER
Vine : Hoppers Attacking
the Young and Tender
Canes.
The Large Numbers of the Little
Pests Cause Serious
Alarm
Professor Hilgard Has Taken Action
Other Parts of the State Should
Take Warning.

The ravages of the vine-hopper, or
thrips, in the vineyards of Fresno County
is causing the vineyardsts all over the
State to watch their growing harvest with
more care than usual.
This was the subject of much discussion
at the last meeting of the Fresno Farmers
Club on Monday, and reports were made
that the little pests threaten to destroy
the coming crop OF grapes. They have
already come forth in such large numbers
that in places they have sapped the vitality
out of the vines. They do not attack the
structure of the vine, but suck the juice
from the tender canes and leaves.
Those who have thus far suffered from
the pests have tried all kinds of remedies
and means of destroying the vine hopper.
Some have applied sulphur and others
sprayed with whale oil soap, but usually
with the result that the remedy killed the
tender vines as we'll as the pest. The
vineyardists urged all to inspect their
vines with regard to the hopper and re-
port at once; also as to the effects of uch
remedies were used. The club telegraphed
TO Professor Hilgard of the State U nivers-
ity for such advice as he could give.
Professor Hilgard, when interviewed on
the subject last night, said:
"All l know about the pest is that it is
raging in the vineyards OF Fresno County.
and from the reports of the farmers and
vineyardists it is appearing earlier and
in greater numbers than any previous
year. / have been telegraphed to and
written to concerning remedy for their
destruction, and in response 10 the call
made, Professor Woodworth, the ento-
mologist. lett for Fresno County last
night He will study the insect and its
habits and attempt TO discover a remedy
with which to destroy it. When he has
finished his investigation he will lecture
10 the farmers on the result and recon-
mend to them such remedies as are found
to be expedient."

A potato rhat Lifted g Ton.

Charles W. Simmons. who lives o Il a farm near Pleasant Home, brought in from his farm a curiosity. He discov- cred it while digging potatoes. It con- sists of Late Rose potato grown in the root of tree. The potato vine seems to have crept into the root, and the new potato then started down in the depths. 1t fourished ill it's strange surroundings and developed into a large and well formed potato The room in the root was too small for it's expansion, and so the spud exerted not less than 2 ton pressure on the root until the side was split open. The root is about inches in diameter and inches ill length. About an inch of the spud protrudes from one end It is quite curiosity, and all who have seen it say they never saw anything like it before. Portland Oregonian.

There is one disadvantage about very tall buildings which is being noticed by the occupants. It is perhaps small disadvantage, but still is worth consid ering, as it involves some annoyance to those who have not made provision for it.

Many pendulum clock that has kept accurate time for years ill old fashioned low structures has refused to run at all when moved into some one of the new tall steel framed buildings in the lower part of the city. On the lower floors of the buildings the clocks run fairly well, but when higher up ill the buildings they become more whimsical and on the tep floors will not run at all.-New York Times

sWINDLING POOR FOLK.

 Within recent months so called in- yestment companies, with headquarters in New York, have established agencies in Indiana, and alluring circulars have been widely distributed promising in- yestors from to 300 per cent returns on small Investments
 Notwithstanding the warnings by To. cal banks and by the commercial agen. cies this sort of investment is taking like wildire among the poorer classes, and it is estimated that fully S250, 900 has been drawn out of this city within the past six months.
 One of tho commercial agencies in- vestigated tho financial status of one of these so called investment companies which operate, as they style it, on the "huotuating system, and found that, instead of $1, GOO, 900 capital stock, it had but $4o,000, and that all of it's business was done outside of New York. People have been found in Indianapo- lis who have taken the Christmas saw ings of their children to invest in this "eo-operatiye speculation, and eaoh day the fever is spreading.
