THE SAN JOSE SCALE rs HERE.
IT CAUSES GREAT DAMAGE TO FRUIT
AND SHADE TREES.

Brooklyn's fruit and shade trees are asssiied by
the San Jose scale. pin headed waxy scaled tree
insect against whose widespread devastation OF
orchards California has expended thousands of
dollars and passed numerous laws. The scale has
been discovered in thirty-hye different places In
the borough. Secretary Collins OF the Tree Plant
ing Society yesterday said that the scale would be
found in great numbers in other parts of the city
not yet examined
The East has been free thus far from the raw
ages Of the insect 1t is said According the story
in California. the insect was brought TO that State
from Australia a few olive trees which had been
imported for experiment. The trees were planted
In San Jose
Mr. Collins said that he believed the insect was
compa lively new in Brooklyn In the inspection
Of some trees few weeks ago he thought he de-
tected some OF the scales on a small pear tree Not
sure whether it the San Jose scale or not, he
sent a specimen of the branch TO Washington, with
request that II be examined. reply was re-
eeived by him on Wednesday evening that the In
sect was no other than the San Jose scale
''The scale" said Mr. Collins yesterday, attacks
not only deciduous fruit trees, but the elm the
weeping willow and currant and gooseberry bushes
There is. perhaps. no insect capable OF causing
greater damage to the fruit and shade interests In
the United States and, perhaps, In the world. than
the San Jose scale.

morning, the charge of grand larceny. seemed
to have found easy victim in the person OF
George Zavaczki. who August IL accepted as
good money two dentists advertisements. which
printed TO represent Confederate $50 bills.
The plot unfolds with Ariske persuading Ia

No % North EleVenth-st. Each put in $780, The
business did flourish, and August II Ariske
magnanimousiy offered to buy his partner out In
order that Zavaczki might not lose any money.
And for all the trouble he had been to, Zavaczki
was to receive extra S.
Zavaczki had never seen $50 bill, so when he
received two handsomely engraved pieces of green
he carefully folded them and put them in his
pocket. The next DAY Zavaczh stepped proudly
UP to the cashier in bank and handed in the
handsomely engraved pieces of paper With a
smile the cashier remarked that his teeth were in
good condition. He did not need "a set of false
teeth for S." nor were there any loose molars to
be extracted without pain" Moreover, he had
his own dentist and did not care to change under
any circumstances.
Zavaczki was finally made to understand that
ment. The extra S5 bill proved 70 be good one.
Yesterday morning Ariske was arrested In the
Pennsylvania Railroad station. He had ticket
for Pittsburg in his pocket In court he said that
he gave the advertisements to ZavacZki for

Unless Deputy Commissioner Kerwin of the Build

be done toward erecting guard around the deadly

improving the system itself so that It would prove

Yesterday that he did not how it could be made

The belief that the Jersey Central system Will

Pennsylvania interests strengthened yester-
day in Wall Street by the lively trading and up

be dominated by the Vanderbilt Pennsylvania IN
terests became more firmly rooted than ever. In
commenting the matter yesterday a general
manager OF coal carrying road said:
The Tribune's story this morning may be a

those the inside understand it. 1t is a mis-
take though to assume that the Pennsylvania or

the superior terminal facilities enjoyed by the Jer.

arrangements at Staten Island are not convenient
OF the Jersey Central are much more convenient
In the event of large developments in soft coal
shipments from this port by the Baltimore ano
Ohio interests, it would be good judgment Tor the
Baltimore and Ohio to secure the Jersey Central
terminal facilities. These would place the Baiu-
