ANOTHER CATERPILLAR SIEGE
MILL FOLLOW PRESENT 0IE

The pest of caterpillars, from which
Wilmington trees now are suffering,
was the subject Of an investigation
yesterday by Professor SandersOn, of
Delaware College. He will make re-
port in a few days.
Frank NJ JCncs, a member Of the
Natural History Society cf Delaware
who has made the caterpillar the sub
ieot Of much study, says the present
visitation OF the pest will be followed
by another, which may be more damag-
ing. unless owners Of tiees and shrub
berry guard against the insects by
spraying trees. Ctc., with a weak sOlu-
ton OF arsenic.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington has issued a bulletin en-
the subject. giving all directions for
SPRAYING. and It can be obtained by
writing TO that department. To get the
trees free next year, Mr. Jones says
the best plan is, during the Fall and
Winter. when the leaves are eff the
trees. go over them carefully and re-
move every cocoon found They viii

still No Rain In kanaan.

Kansas City, July 13.-No rain fell
yesterday in any part of the drouth
stricken district including all of Kan
sis, western Missouri, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. over much of this
region it was the worst day of the
long hot spell, the temperature being
mere than 100 degrees and no breeze
stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes
are so bady injured that. even with
rain, the yield will be short, and as
the weather bureau gives no hope OF
relief the outlook is discouraging. Al
some places in Kansas there has been
no rain fall whatever for nearly three
months The present is the worst
drouth since 1860. when New England
sent food to the settlers OF Kansas.

NHINN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
Second Degrea for Man Ac-
cuSe ! OF KILN ! FEnOr
Applegate

Trenton. n. j.. July i3.-The jury In
the Shinn nurder trial rendered a
verdict at midnight last night Of muir
der in the second degree The jury
had been out about seven hours.
The maximum penalty OF New Jer-
Foy for murder in the second degree Is
50 years Imprisonment
Tht offense for which Shinn was
convicted was the killing Of Thomas
f. Applegate. a farmer, whose body
was found in his barn at Extonville
on Sunday morning March 10. The
theory was advanced az the time that
Applegate had come home drunk and
in embarrassing his horse had fallen
beneath the animals feet and had been
trampled to death.
Samuel Shinn, who worked Apple
gates farm on shares. was subse-
Quently arrested and indicted for mur-
der. The contention of the state as
developed at the trial reflected upon
Shinn's relations with Mrs. Applegate,
and that bad feeling existed between
the two men. These facts We're at
trihuted as the motive for the crime.
During the trial the state. in addition
to producing testimony on these lines
proved that there was blood on Shinn's
clothes Shinn's defense was a denial
of any improper relations with Mrs.
Applegate, and that his trouble with
Applegate was of a trivial character
He explained the blood on his clothes
by saying be had taken part in a hog
killing and that his nose had bled.
Yesterday Shinns lawyers. Walker.
Boasley and Scanned. addressed the
jury in the prisoners defense for over
two hours Mr.. Walker and former
Judge Beasley summed up the evil
dence and pointed out how glarlngly
theoretical the case Of the state was,
remarl1ing that IL was entirely one
of suspicion that was not even sup
ported by testimony worthy of being
called circumstantial evidence. Judge
Beasley analysed the testimony and
called attention to the discrepancies
in the statements of witnesses. Both
attorneys made much of the frank at
titude Of the prisoner on the stand.
His candor was greatly in his favor,
and the iurymen watched him closely
10 detect evidence Of a carefully con-
cocted story. Shinns demeanor was
that Of a man unjustly accused, but
surrounded by circumstances that were
not easy OF explanation.

MORE PLAY NEEDED.

Increasing Number of Poorly Developed
Men and Women.
1t used to be that boys and men who
worked had shorter working hours and
less work to do in the same time than
do the men and boys of today. Con-
sequently they had better opportuni-
ties and greater inclination for recrea-
ton of the healthiest kind. They felt
able to rise in the morning early
enough for gymnastics, their work
the day before not being so irksome
as to make them feel they needed ev-
cry moment of sleep possible, as Is
often the case nowadays, and in the
late afternoons and evenings they
could could enjoy an athletic game.
The girls some years ago exerted
much less than they do now, their
course Of study usually being mild
in comparison to the average of to-
day, and few of them were in business
or the professions. Therefore their
need was less for strengthening exer-
cises. Although the mental and
physical work that the men and wo-
men Of this generation do has greatly
increased they do not seem to have
realized that counteracting force is
absolutely necessary for the number is
growing larger every day. We cannot
help observing it on the streets and

merIoan nooks In Me.Ioo.

Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many
as Germany. Much OF this trade is
due to the large resident American
population to be found in Mexican
cities and to the demand from mining
camps, where Americans are living.
and not little is due to the growing
spread Of English among the Mexican
people. There is a strong tendency
here in favor of popularizing the Eng
lish language, and the learners of that
tongue comprise professional men in
middle life as well as thousands of
youth. Some large institutions of
learning have put English ahead Of

not" she defantly announced. "As

put up protesting hand, but she
would not heed. "I'll make short

He married twice-frst poor girl
who died when her baby was born;
then a rich young heiress, who also
died early in life leaving her money
to her only child, Gladys, your aunt
or half aunt; for you are the son Of
the daughter of the first marriage"
my God! The mater is not my
mother?" cried Harvey, after stupe-
fled pause. He sprang to his feet and
gazed wildly from one. face to the
other, with the look of man pierced
to the heart. Madam, madam. is this
true?" he imploringly asked Then,
meeting Gladys compassionate yet
strangely cold look, with a half sob
he threw himself into chair and
buried his face in his hands, never
moving until Phebe had finally ceased
speaking.
Helen said nothing; her burning
eyes were fixed on the housekeeper;
she knew she told the truth, and that
