QUEER LAW
Is This Which Prevents Neishbors
From Exchanging Plants.

The Wooster Experiment Station Of
ficials remind the people that there is
a law in Ohio, passed April ii, 1900,
which prohibits persons from giving
or selling or shipping or delivering
trees, shrubs, plants or other nursery
stock to any persons without first OBJ
tanning a certificate of inspection, the
cost of which is $40. 1t frequently
occurs that neighbors exchange or
give strawberry and other plants to
one another. This practice should
be discontinued, says the station, as
it may get some persons into trouble
unless such plants have been inspect.

How the kindergarten Fund
Has Been Used by the Board---
Referred to Finance Committee

AS a result of question asked at
the meeting of the Board of Education
Tuesday night, by Mr.. Hartzell, in.
formation was obtained relative to
the much discussed fund for the
kindergarten department.
Lately said Mr.. Hartzell, "the
attention of the public has been call
ed to the Kindergarten fund, and the
manner in which it is distributed.
How much money is there to the cred
it of that fund.-"
The clerk reported ,23O.S6.'
This amount, mount, the members decided,
was very good, and Mr.. Slabaugh
said that the levy providing this fund
might be discontinued. Such action
will doubtless be taken by the new
Board.
DR.. Reed asked if 1t were in harm
Ony with the law to apply money from
the kindergarten fund to other de-
partments.

Mr.. Frese explained that it was all
right to apply the fund as had been
the custom, transferring from one
fund to another when necessary, but
in final account returning to each fund
the amount taken from it for purposes
other than those for which the levy
was made. In this way, bond issues
are frequently averted, and a consid
erable amount of money saved.
Mr. Hartzell said that in cases where
money was taken from one fund and
applied to the uses of another, the
matter should be brought before the
Board.
Mr.. Slabaugh said that in the report

GARDNER LACKED STEAM
Made Disappointing ShOwlsg Against the
champion-Thsre Was No Doubt
as to The Result From the
Start.

SAN FRANCISCO. April SO.-Terry
McGovern knocked out Oscar Gardner
in the fourth round tonight at Me-
chanics' pavilion. From the first min
ute until the end came there was new
er doubt in the minds OF the specta-
tors as 20 the outcome. McGovern
forced the pace all through and had no
trouble in landing when and where he
liked.
Gardner's swings were very wild and
ineffective and only on two or three oc-
casions did he put clean blow upon
the champion. Gardner took terrific
pummeling and went down repeatedly
from the fierse assaults OF the Brook
lyn terror.
In the fourth round Terry landed
half dozen rights and lefts on the face
and body and Gardner went down. He
struggled TO his feet only TO go down
again. Gardner landed one left on the
body and the blow only served to ir-
ritate Terry, who came back at him
with lefts and rights in perfect show
er. Gardner received hard right
squarely in the pit of the stomach and
as he was falling Terry sent in left
to the jaw which ended the fight.
Gardner lacked steam and was very
slow on his feet. On the whole his
showing with the champion was disap-
poin ting.

gori Katibac. Malvars' best officers.

Tinio is said here to have been with
Alejandrino one Of the highest officers
in the insurrscionary forces. He was
In command in northern Luzon during
the famous chase after Commander
Gilmore.
Malvars. whose colonels surrendered
to Kline. was also one Of the best
known Filipino leaders. He was Law
toms most formidable foe and COM
manded the insurgents at the fight at
the Zapot river. the most serious battle
fought in the Philippines. He has con-
fined his operations to southern Luzon,
which has been completely subjugated
and Lipa, where the surrender occur
red. has long been one Of the princi-
pal insurgent arsenals.
1, is said at the war department by
officers recently back from the Philip
pines that there now remains in the
field in Luzon only one chief whom they
are particularly desirous Of catching,
namely Cailles. the head hunter. This
man has violated eevry rule of warfare
and IL is not expected that he will be
taken alive.

existence OF not a little apprehension
as to the possibility of the United States
dominating the Atlantic carrying trade.
Tho general impression, however. is
that the transfer is connected with the
probable passage by the United States
Of the subsidy bill. It is considered
that the terms Of the transfer are so
profitable to the Leyland people that
there is believed to be no question Of
their acceptance and other shipping
companies would gladly sell on the same
terms. The effects of the transfer are
discussed in all their bearings.

NEW ARMY OFFICERS.
Fully one-Third Of Men Appointed
Likely to Fail to Pass Required
Examinations.

NEW YORK. April 3O.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
At the war department it is said that
efforts are being made to have the re-
organized standing army fully officered
and equipped and enlisted to the
strength of 5000 by August /. More
apprehension is felt over getting the
full quota of competent line officers by
the date mentioned than over the re-
cruiting Of the fifteen regiments. Ex-
cept for this. 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Root and Adjutant- General Corbln
would have accompanied the president
on his Western trip.
1t is true that nearly all Of the 800
or more line officers OF the grades Of
first and second lieutenants created by
the new law have been designated by
the president. but every one Of these
appointees must undergo a rigid mem
tai and physical examination before
commissions in the regular army are is-
sued to them. On the law of average
it is estimated by experienced army
officers that fully one-third and perhaps
half of these originally designed by the
president for appointment will fail eth
er on mental or physical examination.
In order to meet this exigency lists Of
alternates by states are being prepared
by the secretary Of war and the adJu-
tantgeleral to whom the president has
turned this task over The alternates
are being selected from the long list OF
applications now on file in the war de-
partment with reference Of course to
the wishes Of senators and other in
fiuential men in the several states.
In order to expedite the work Of dis
posing of the hundreds Of applicants
already selected by the president. Sec
retary Root and General Corbin will ap-
point a dozen or more boards OF exam
iners to sit in various parts OF the
country. where the conveniences Of the
appointees will be best served. When
ever an appointee fails to pass the ex-
animation the name Of the first alter
nate from his state will be certified TO
the board for examination and this pro-
cess will be continued until the full
quota of subalterns created by the
new law Is complete.
1t is not thought that the examina-
tions will be in full swing Tor six
weeks or two months and on this expec-
tation is based the reckoning that not
until August viii all the new officers
be selected. This will not interfere with
the organization Of the new regiments
or the sending of fresh troops TO the
Philippines to take the place Of the re-
turning volunteers.
This work will keep pace with re-
cruiting as by detailing line officers
from the old to new regiments for tenn
porary duty the proper quota Of officers
in the field can be kept up.
