DAMAGED by Flax Wilt,

Professor Manns, assistant in the
department of botany at the North Da-
kota agricultural college, has returned
from trip over Cass county, and finds
there Is lot of diseased flax. The
damage by flax wilt will run from 10
to 90 per cent In one field that had
been in flax four consecutive years he
found the loss will be almost total.
Tho soil is thoroughly permeated with
the flax wilt. and it will take some
wears to eradicate It by farming the
land to cultivate crops. Professor
Manns reports some progress in the
development Of the immune flax. The
work is necessarily slow, but the re-
suits Of the investigation and expert
ments are SO far encouraging and he
expects ultimately that the college
will succeed in the development of an
immune plant. One result of the pro-
fessor's Investigations was to demon
strate the beneficial effects of the for
malin treatment for seed flax before
seeding. In fields that had been prop
erly treated and on land that had not
been in flax last year the evidences of
lax wilt were very small. The effects
are so pronounced that the farmers
will more generally take advantage of
1t next spring.

rate of more than twenty miles an
hour, four persons were killed and
nineteen 50 seriously injured that
they are under physicians care and
several Of these ale expected to die.
AS there were seventy passengers on
the two cars many others received
cuts and minor wounds which did not
prevent their going to their homes.
The accident occurred on the line
which runs through this town between
Lowell and Nashua and one of the
cars, which was coming from the lat
ter city, was nearly filled with peo-
PIE on their way to a summer resort.
The collision was due, according to
the officials of the road. to misun-
derstanding of the starters orders by
the motornan of the car bound for
Nashua. The car star.er endeavored
to rectify this mistake by sending a
man to shut off the power and trying
to recall the Nashua bound car, but it
failed

on either side of which were long
stretches OF straight track. The dead

ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
John Rooney, Convicted of Murder at
Fargo, Appeals to United States
Supreme Court-FIax DAM
aqed by Wilt,

When the legislature last winter
changed the law for the execution of
criminals, providing that they should
be hanged at the state pcnitcntiary
after Il six months Imprisonment, in
stead Of being hanged in the counties
whore their crimes were committed,
1t gave chance for life to John
Rooney, now under sentence of death
pronounced BY Judge Pollock of Cass
county. The record in the case was
forwarded to the clerk Of the United
States supreme court at Washington,
and d suU"rsedcas has been issued,
which rc%ritcs Rooney until the su-
prcme court of the United States shall
pass on his case and say whether or
not he shall hang. Rooney was SEN
fenced to be executed in October, but
as the case cannot be heard by that
time. it Will probably be several
months yet before he is executed, if
he is hanged at all Rooney was CON
victed under the Old law providing for
the punishment of murder Before
his conviction, however, the legisla-
ture passed a law repeating the old
and prc~iding that all murderers
should be hanged at the state peni-
Tertiary by the warden, after an i'm
prisonment of not less than six months.
When the law was passed and before
the Official copies were promulgated,
Judge Pollock sentenced Rooney to be
hanged. but failed to set the date far
enough from the time Of sentence to
comply with the latter provision of
the law. When it was discovered that
an error had been made, Rooney was
taken back to Fargo and resentenced
to be hanged in October.
In the meantime. however, Rooney's
attorney. w. S. Stambaugh, filed an
appeal to the supreme court Of the
state from the death sentence, on the
ground that the new law was ex post
facto and that an attempt was being
made to punish the defendant under a
law not in existence at the time Of
the commission of his crime; and that
the six months of Imprisonment hav-
ing been added by the new law it i'm
nosed greater penalty than the law
in force at the time of the commission
OF the crime. For these reasons
Rooney's attorney sought to have the
sentence set aside.
The supreme court, in an opinion
written by Judge Cochrane, affirmed
the sentence of the lower court and
said that the sentence of death must
stand. Attorney Stambaugh has per-
fccted an appeal to the supreme court

FIGHTING All BEIRUT
SEVEN CHRISTIANS KILLED AND
MANY WOUNDED IN CLASH

Disturbance Said to Have Been Begun

Christian Employed at the American
College-British Consul Threatens
to Ask Admiral Cotton to Land Ma

to Ask Admiral Cotton to Land Ma
rines If Disorders Are Renewed.
Constantinople, Sept s.-A consular
dispatch from Beirut, received at one
of the embassies here, states that
fierce brawl occurred there Monday
between parties of Mussulmans and
Christians. 1t was due to a shot hred
by Mussulman upon Christian en-
ployed at the American college. The
Christian was wounded.
The fight broke out while the vail
was on board the United states
cruiser Brooklyn, returning Admiral
Cctton's visit No further details
have been received In diplomatic cir
cles here the affair is regarded as be-
ing serious, and renewal OF the DIS
turbances is feared.
An official version of the Beirut al
fair telegraphed later to the Ottoman
ambassadors abroad for commun1ca-
ton to the powers, says that Chris
tians were the assailants, they having
fired upon four Mussulmans. A ngnt
ensued during which Mussulmans and
Christians came to the assistance OF
their respective compatriots. This, says
the report, compelled the troops to In
tervene and they succeeded In restor-
ing order Three soldiers were wound
ed and one was killed, while one Chris
tian was killed and one wounded.
The British consul at Beirut 1mme-
diately after the riot, called upon the
vail and threatened to ask Rear Ad-
miral Cotton to land marines from the
American squadron in the event OF the
renewal Of the disturbances.
In official circles here the disturb
ances are attributed to the arrival OF
the American squadron and the belief
is expressed that the Christians at
Beirut are endeavoring to bring about
the landing of marines from the war
ships.
Minister Leishman cabled the Wash.
ington government that seven Christ
ians were killed and several wounded.
American consul and naval officers are
investigating the affair. Admiral Cot.
ton cabled he was prepared to land
marines If the situation warranted 1t.
All reports from the vilayet Of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and 5O.-
900 Bulgarian inhabitants are be-
lieved to have been massacred by the
Turks and every Bulgarian village In
the vilayet has been destroyed.
The insurgents threaten to take re-
venge by similar methods.

formerly mayor of New York City, in
his apartments at 292 West Ninety
second street. Wednesday shot and
Instantly killed Mrs. Fannie Pullen of
673 West End avenue and then shot
and killed himself The murder and
suicide appear to have been premedi-
tated and followed a dramatic scene
In which Edison asked Mrs. Pullen,
close and honored friend of his wife
and family. to desert her husband and
children and fly with him to another
state. Mrs. Pullen was a beautiful
woman and is said to have been the
daughter Of a United States naval off,
Ger.
The tragedy brought out the fact
that Edison, who was comptroller of st.
Michael's Protestant Episcopal church,
had been suspected of misappropriat-
Ing funds belonging to the parish, and
that expert accountants were at work
on his accounts. 1t was also declared
by those related to the family that Ed.
son was financially distressed be-
cause of Wall street speculations.
