defense in refusing to pay a policy,
Judge Phillips held that "as the pleading
of the contract in question voluntarily
entered into by the parties goes merely
to the question of the amount of the
recovery, and not to defeat recovery,
my conviction is that the plaintiff is just
ly entitled to recover the sum Of $5OO."

Of the cotton plant is small and insignifi-
cant, only a tiny insect; but in its col

cotton-boh weevil. The creature is be-

ed the Rio Grande a few years ago and
invaded Texas, ghere it has already ex-
ecuted vengeance in more terrible form
than any army from over the southern
border could ever have done. 1t has
already inflicted damages to the cotton
crop of Texas estimated at not less than
800 100000, and nothing has yet bee.-
discovered to stay its ravages, although
the State government has offered the
handsome sum Of $1,000 to anyone who
will devise a remedy. The weevil host
is marching steadily northward through
Texas, and there is great fear that it
may reach the cotton fields Of the other
Gulf States. and threaten a great indus

The creatures are about the size Of the
common house fly. Of oval shape, dark
gray color, winged, and six-leggeo. The
body is broad at the rear and tapers

SAM PARKS GUILTY.
Jury Finds the New York Labor Boss
Extorted


Samuel ]. Parks, walking delegate of
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union.
local No. 2, of New York, was again con-
victed of extortion in the Court OF Gen
eral Sessions Friday afternoon 1t took
the jurymen just twelve minutes, in
which time they took two ballots, to
agree that Parks had extorted $500 from
the Tiffany Studios CO., firm of CON
tractors, under threat of keeping them
from continuing work on buildings last
January
1t was shown at the trial that Parks
had obtained the $500 as an Initiation
fee" when the housesmiths AMI bridge
men were ON strike on three of The Tiff
fanny contracts in New York City Parks
claimed that this money was a fine. levied
by his labor union. Later the fact de-
velope1 that Parks had been disloyal to
an; unioa lnasmuch as he permitted the
Titan. nrm TO employ ncn-union men on
jobs aftei having received the $500.
When Parks heard his doom pronounc-
ed all his former bravado left him. he
was hanging over the railing, his head
bowed with shame and grief. He was
the very picture of despair.
The convicted walking delegate looked
about the court room for his followers,
but not one was on hand. While the
jury was out the court room had been
cleared and the doors were locked. 1t
was feared that there might be a dem
onstration. When the jurors filed out
of court and Parks was led back toward
the rear of the court room there was
wild rush in the outer hall. Parks
friends wanted to get into the court
room. He saw them at the door. He
halted as he reached the gate that leads
to the prisoners pen.
II want to see the gang. 1 want to
shake hands with the gang" insisted
Parks. But Captain Wheelock of the
court squad and the other officers push
ed Parks along, and moment later the
door had closed behind him.

MISSOURI HAS AN EARTHQUAKE.
Recent Disturbance Calls Attention to
Se:sae Historic Facts.

Se.ae historic Facts.
An earthquake along the western
banks of the Mississippi in southeastern
Missouri occasioned considerable alarm
the other evening. The shock was felt
as far north as st. Louis, but the seis-
mic disturbance lasted less than & min
ute and no damage was done. The dis
turbance was generally felt over New
Madrid, Jefferson and the surrounding
counties. An interesting fact about this
shock is that it occurred in the exact
territory which, beginning in 1911, was
the scene of a series of earthquake phe-
nomena that extended over a period of
two years. Southeastern Missouri and
northeastern Arkansas suffered more
from subterranean disturbances at that
time than any other part Of our domain
within the historic period. The region
was inhabited chiefly by Indians. If it
had possessed its present density of popu-
lation the shocks, which were very Sc
we're for several months, would have been
numbered among the worlds great ca
