DROVES OF BLACKBIRDS
COME TO FARMERS AID.

Have Settled in Americas Cotton
Fields TO Eat CnterpiIIHrs.
Americas. Ga, Aug. 25.-Countless
thousands of blackbirds suddenly ap-
pearing in great droves, settled upon
the cotton fields near Americas this
morning and played havoc with the
caterpillars. The appearance of the
blackbirds astonished the farmers, as
these birds always come in the fall
season, and are never seen here in
summer
The birds attacked the caterpillars,
devouring them ravenously. and BUSH
els of the cotton pests were thus de-
stroyed in a day.
If the blackbirds continue here the
settlement of the caterpillar problem
may be reached Unexpectedly. Farm
ers have applied barrels of paris green
in efforts to kill the caterpillars, and
in some localities have succeeded. The
blackbirds, however, may prove more
effective in destroying the worms,
which now threaten destruction to the
cotton fields.

South CaroHnians Concerned Over tn,
Coming Trial Of Tillman.

South CaroHnians Concerned Over the
Coming Trial Of Tillman.
South Carolinians in this city are anx-
ious concerning the outcome of the trial
Of Colonel James Tnlman, who is in jail at
Columbia awaiting trial for shooting Edi-
tor NJ G. Gonzales about three weeks ago.
There are many friends of both men in
this city, and the case has been thoroughly
>,4scussed by them.
Colonel Tillman will be promptly ac-
quilted said a former South Carolinian
to a Star reporter today. You see in that
state the lie Is considered blow and the
lie was given in Mr.. Gonzales paper. Then.
again. there was a challenge sent to Con-
zales which he ignored In South Caro-
lenge there are only two things left for
hdm to do, die or leave the state. Con-
zales would not leave the state and he
died.
Continuing. he said: 'In that state a
duel Is considered the gentlemanly way OF
settling difficulties. It is regarded as an
affair Of honor and the man who lodges
1t Is bound to lose the respect Of great
many Of the best people in the community.
With the present case the editor had in
ff1cted the first blow in the columns of his
paper, and had added insult to injury by
not accepting the challenge to fight duel.
The real trouble between the men started
several years ago, when the Gonzales boys
got together enough friends to blackball
Colonel TiHman when he made application
for membership in the club in Columbia"
In conclusion he said that while he really
expects there will be prompt acQuittal
Of the colonel the trial cannot possibly
end In anything worse than hung" Jury.
In April, and the case cannot be tried be-
fore that time.

,ELKINS BILL IN THE HOUSE
The West Virginia Senator Confers
With Republican Leaders.

y Senator Elkins. author of the bill amend
ing the interstate commerce law, which
passed the Senate yesterday, discussed the
prospects Of the bill in the House with Rep
resentative Hepburn, chairman Of the COM
nittee on interstate commerce, to whom
will be referred the bill and also with Rep
resentatfve Littlefield, author of the anti
trust bill reported from the judiciary COM
mittee- Mr.. Hepburn thought there would
be no difficulty In obtaining favorable re-
port from his committee, but said that the
possibility of radical amendment In the
House made 1t questionable whether it
would be feasible to attempt to pass it.
The fact that the Elkins bill passed with
out discussion or attempt to amend has en-
Outraged its friends to believe that SINH
lar result may be achieved In the House.
Some of the provisions of the Elkfns bill
are Incorporated in the Littleaeld bill, but
Mr.. Littlefield told the senator that he
would not oppose the measure in the House
on that account 1t is expected that there
will be a meeting of the House Interstate
commerce committee this week to consider
the bill.

ON SECRET MISSION.
Detectives Understood to Have Gone
to California.


Considerable mystery surrounds the de-
par<ure from this city last night Of De-
tectives Helan and Hartigan. Their des-
tination, It is stated, is San Francisco.
Police officials and representatives Of the
United States district attorneys Office de-
clined today to discuss the object in view.
It was stated to Star reporter that the
detectives went away in connection with
a matter in which Attorney General Knox
Is Interested.
District Attorney Beach called at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon and con-
ferred with Capt. Boardman about the
matter, and the detectives mentioned were
then selected for the trip. When II was
known that they had gone it was believed
by their associates that they were going to
look after the case of John Lawrence
OBrien, the alleged defaulting salesman
and collector who was arrested there after
he had severed his connections with Mr.
Frank Hume's wholesale grocery firm.
1t was stated positively, however, that
their trip to California has no con-
nection with that case. Nothing could be
learned at the Department Of Justice about
the trip Of the detectives. 1t was stated
that II detectives had gone away on any
matter connected with the department the
arrangements had been made by District
Attorney Beach. This ofifcial frankly adj
mitted that he was not at liberty to answer
questions.
Nobody could be found today who saw the
detectives when they left the city last night,
and 1t is known TO- but very few persons
who, II anybody else, went with them.
