WEATHER CAUSES DELAY IN CROPS
Coed Fruit and Vegetable Year Pre-.
dicted, However

The agricultural district of the Della
ware Peninsula is not affected by the
Becf Trust. although the weather has
caused some delay in the crops. Tho
continued cold April weather has not
allowed the ground 10 warm as much
as usual at this time of year.
A great fruit and vegetable year is
predicted however. and the farmers
will till every available acre and force
IL TO do its best
Tomatoes are being planted ON a
large scale. and the strawberry crop
will be enormous. The growers already
are considering how they will provide
enough pickers. Hundreds OF barrels
of potatoes will be on their way North
I'M a few weeks.
The fishermen in tho Delaware bay
feel most keenly the continued cold
weather. as their catches remain small.
The fishermen are praying for a warm
sun and a warm rain.

CARSHOPS BUSY
Mere Work in Local Shops Than the Men
Can Handle

Many cars are in the local repair
shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. Car builders are scarce, and
although the company is desirOus Of
having the coaches put in service as
soon as possible, the present force Of
men cannot keep up with the rush.
About nine months of tho year are
devoted 20 repairing cars, and when
tho summer travel starts the railroad
company ondoavors to have all It's
available cars in service.
The present crowded state OF affairs
in the shops puzzles the officials, as
they cannot see how the rush is 20 be
lcOpcd with when workmcn arc scarce.
They do their best under the cir
cumstances. however, and many cars
which have been repaired and put in
first-class order are shipped from the
shops every day.

People Living in French

Dirt Taken From Riddle Property
aud Put in Street Responsible
for Trouble
FURNITURE is BEING RUINED

If the housewives living in French
street between Eighth and Twelfth
streets, could get their hands on the
'old Street and Sewer Directors" Just
at the present time, they would make
things lively for them. Their anger
against these men has been aroused by
tho dirt which the directors ordered
to be put IN French street between the
leduares mentioned. The dirt was
taken from the rear of the Riddle prop
lerty at Eleventh and King streets,
where excavations were being made,
last fall In tho winter the street re-
sembles a clay pit, and in the dry
lspring weather. the dust from IL blows
into the houses in clouds and settles
on the furniture and carpets, almost
running them, according to their own
ers
When seen by an Evening journal
reporter this morning, John
II. Kilmer, who lives at Ninth and
| French streets. said:
q don't like to be the one to com
plain. but the dust which blows of
the street is something terrible. My
office has to be brushed and busted
two or three times a day to keep II
clean. The furniture and carpets n
the house are always covered with tn,
dust. and it is impossible TO keep Il
/ from settling upon them.
Every time a wagon traverses tn,
lstreet a cloud of dust is stirred ant
taken in tow by the wind. and carrie,
into the houses on either side OF tn,

houses may be closed. the dirt manage
to get in and the people of the neigh

done by the Street and Sewer De
lpartment to abate the nuisance.
French street has been macadamize
for years. and no complaint was eve
heard from the people living there I'm
til the recent lot Of graveyard dust
was dumped upon il.
1T seems strange" said anothe
PRESIDENT OF that section, that the di
rectors of the Street and Sewer De

Encouragement to Her SOr-
rowing Subjects

in constant attendance upon the royal
patient.
DR.. Roessings, one of the queens
attending physicians, is staying per.
manently at the palace. Her majesty s
temperature yesterday reached the
alarming height of 104 degrees. but the
departure from the palace of Professor
Rosenstein, the pathologist Of Leyden
University. who had been summoned
in consultation, is considered a hope
fui sign that the crisis is past.
1t is reported that Queen Wilhel
nina caught cold recently while sit
ting in the park. 1t is also said that
living at Castle Loo does not seem tC
agree with her majesty.
A bulletin issued yesterday says
"Since morning there has been nC
change in Queen Wilhclmina's condi
tion. The fever continues"
The condition of the royal patient
was unchanged at $50 last evening.
Prayers for the queens recover.
are being offered in the churches.
II is rumored that another special
list, Professor Nolan, has been sum
moned to attend her majesty.

RUNAWAY BOYS HAD
BIG ROLL OF MONEY

Loaded down with money and wear
ing new gold watches and clothes,
three boys. Lawrence Kates, Nugent
Zebley and Frank Armstrong, of this
city. were arrested in Chester on We'd
nesday evening. Hates provided the
funds for the other boys from a wad
OF S40O in bank notes he had stolen
from his brother. Harry Kates, of No
SIS Washington street. The boys left
home on Tuesday night, after young
Hates had ransacked a wardrobe where
his brother kept his money.
There was about 81 900 in the ward
robe, but young Hates did not wish to
take all his brothers earnings. He
figured that S400 would see them
through. Before starting on an OK
tended tour the funds were drawn
upon to buy a new hat, new shoes and
pair of trousers. Each bought a gold
watch.
II was discovered in Wilmington
that the boys were missing on We'd
lnesday, and word to arrest the run
aways was sent to several cities about
noon. About o'clock on Wednesday
night Policeman Syfrit saw the three
boys at Sixth street and Edgmont ave-
nue.. He arrested them and Kates'
parents were notified. His father went
to Chester and brought the lads home
with him. OF the s4OO they had s31O.71
left
The trio said they walked from here
to Chester and then boarded a trolley
for Philadelphia They returned to
Chester and were arrested.
The boys are each about IA years
lOld.

GREAT INCREASE
In COST OF FOOD
Poultry, Eggs, Fish aud But
ter Go Up
MILK WILL BIZ REDUCED
Facts Don't Bear Out Reasons Given
By The Trust for Raising
Prices
MILK WILL Be REDUCED

Prices for the necessities Of life are still
on the bound upward and the situation is
becoming a serious one for the house
keeper. The increase in meat was bad
enough. but the housewife saw a way out
of the difficulty by buying less meat and
more of some other food. Now there is
an increase in almost everything that
goes on the table.
There has not been a corresponding in
crease in wages and people who were en-
abled to lay a small portion of the wages
aside each week find that it takes all
their surplus and more too, to fill the
family larder.
In the past year the cost Of living has
increased more than 80 per cent. The fol
lowing table compiled by local dealers
gives the prices per pound in comparison
with those prevailing at the same time
last year:

Dots to the right of them, dots 20 the
left Of them. dots before them and dots
back OF them. everywhere tho~readers
of the Evening Journal are confronted
by dots. There never has been inau-
gurated a contest which has aroused
quite as much interest as the dot con
test OF the Evening Journal. and tots,
school girls and boys and grown ups
have announced their intention Of
competing for the prizes.
Are you counting the dots?" Is a
popular form OF salutation, and go
count dots" is a catchy slang phrase.
The dots first appeared In the Even
ing Journal yesterday afternoon
and the number Of people who are
making inquiry regarding them seems
almost incredible Every paper print
ed yesterday contained the puzzle,
and from the number Of prizes sent in,
nearly every old reader Of the Even
ing Journal and hundreds Of new ones
have begun TO count the dots. Guesses
so far received vary from 1900 10
800. 900.
Everybody will be given an
opportunity to count the dots
until May /, when the contest
will close. Any new subscribers who
do not get their papers will please ad-
wise the circulation department, and
errors will be corrected promptly Any
slight delay which may ensue is due tC
the largely increased demand for the
paper.
AS has been announced in these col
umns before. there is no catch in tbs
offer. Everything is perfectly fair anC
honest The dots are there and theii
number is known. and all that tn,
contestant has to do is 20 count then
or guess their number.
The persons guessing the number ol
nearest the number Of dots in tn.
given space, will get prize of S25
and seventeen other prizes will b.
given as we'll. and Will be pai'
promptly.
This is to be a fair contest in ever
respect. and no employe of the Even
ing Journal is eligible to contest
either personally OF through friends.

are coming in; all have estimates. som

MAY SPRING SENSATION
RumOr That Detectives Now Have Collins
Bloody kniie
Special to tho Evening Journal.

Laurel, April 1S.-The population Of
this place began a pilgrimage to
Georgetown today to hear the habeas
corpus proceedings brought in behalf
of Elmer Collins, under arrest upon
a charge of numbering his wife, Aida.
It shows the deep interest of everyone
in the case.
BY o'clock this morning scores OF
three-seated, twO-seated and single
seated wagons, filled with men and
women. had started. BY z o'clock
the roads were lined with wagons, and
the oldest inhabitant said the excite
ment throughout this part OF the coun-
ty was greater than ever before seen,
even on circus days
The pilgrims we're divided into two
factions Half the population believes
Collins innocent and the other half
believes him guilty
MAY SPRING SENSATION.
At the hearing today States Attor-
ney Herbert H. Ward, IL is said, Will
spring two sensations TO support the
hitherto weak case of the authorities.
It is rumorcd that State Detective 4.
w. Francis has found Collins knife,
and THAT he Will also prove that Col
Inns mOpped up his wife's blood in
quantity Of refuse, then went into
field and plowed blood-stained refuse
into the ground. Collins has denied
that he owned a knife, but the detec-
tive this morning said it was long
horn-handled weapon, with two long
keen blades.
Another development of the case
that gave the people food for gossip
was the recent arrival here of Pink
erton detective. acting in the interest
of the accused husband. The Pinker-
ton man confined his attention TO Sc
curing evidence of the habits and re-
cent actions of the States detectives,
and this is expected to lead to some
lively cross ss-eXamination.
