SENATE RULES VIOLATED
The Wife of Chairman Davis Takes
Snap Shots

Washington.-One of the doorkeepers OF
the senate gallery, reserved for senators
and their families, discovered, during the
reading of the presidents message this
afternoon, that handsomely dressed wo-
man was taking snap shots with small
camera. This is so great a violation of the
rules Of the senate that the doorkeeper was
very much perturbed. He became agita-
ted when he discovered that the user of the
camera was Mrs. Davis, the wife of the
chairman of the committee on foreign re-
lations. But the doorkeeper had to carry
out his instructions, and told Mrs. Davis
that she must stop taking pictures. Mrs.
Davis politely declined to obey, and went
on swapping the camera at groups on the
floor. There was scurrying of doorkeep-
ers to the office of the sergeant-at-arms,
but the official apparently declined to en-
force the rule, for Mrs. Davis was not
again interrupted. She secured the first
set of photographs of the senate in session.

THE OLIVE MOTH
It Is Again on Deck-How to Fight
the Pest

CLAREMONT, April 21.-The olive
moth, which received so much attention
last year on account of the injury 1t did in
the orchards in Los Angeles and Riverside
counties, is again on deck. The Mac
EVAN orchard, which was so seriously at
tackled last year, is again stocked with
eggs Hundreds of eggs are to be seen on
a single leaf. The eggs are just hatch
ing. The moth belongs to the noctuidae,
or cut worm, family. They fly wholly by
night, and so are rarely seen by the or
chardist, except that they are attracted
into the house by lights. They are plain,
dark gray, dotted with light spots. but
the most obvious character is the brown
thorax, the part just back of the head.
Spraying with the arsenites, one pound to
200 gallons of water, was found an ineffec-
tive remedy last year. Every olive or
chardist should be on the lookout for this
enemy.

DEATH OF MISS WINNIE DAVIS.
A Long Illness that AIternated Between
Hope and Fear Ends In Victory
for the Grim Monster.

s Narragansett Pierr, r. l., Sept. 49,
Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs. JEFF
ferSou Davis, died at noon yesterday,
at the Rockingham hotel, to which
place she came as guest in the early
part of the Piers social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks, and
fortnight ago her ailment was dag
nosed as malarial gastritis. At times
her condition became very serious, so
that consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent rail-
lies gave renewed hope that she would
ultimately recover.
During the past week, especially,
was her condition considered favora-
BILE, and it was thought that her re-
moval from the hotel would be possi-
BILE in few days, as the hotel had
closed for the summer, leaving the
patient and attendants practically
alone in the house. Saturday night,
however, relapse in Miss Davis con-
dition was noticed, and throughout
the night she lost strength percepti-
bly,.
Yesterday morning the physicians
said that the end was not far off, and
at noon death came to end the suffer
ing, which at times had been intense.
Mrs. Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside, and
she is now bowed with sorrow The
physicians of Mrs. Davis report she is
holding up with great calmness in her
affiiction, and no fears are at present
entertained of her health yielding to
the strain.
