Seattle Threatens to Mako . Scene Over
Taeoma's Monopoly OF Him.
TACOMA, Wash, May l0.-Taooma and
Seattle are pickering over the question as
to who shall have charge Of President Roose-
welt and his party when he Is escorted to
the Puget Sound navy yard at Bremerton
on May %. The navy yard is somewhat
nearer Seattle than Tacoma, and In that
city is considered Seattle institution
In arranging the Presi dents Puget
Sound trip provision was made for a trip
by steamer from Tacoma to Bremerton.
and thence to Everett, before reaching
Seattle. Plans approved by Secretary Loeb
provide for embarkation upon the steamer
Spokane at Tacoma for the trip. Secretary
Loeb specified that the steamer should
not carry over twenty-five guests other
than the Presidential party.
Tho Tacoma committee has invited
twenty-five prominent citizens to escort
the President on the excursion until he
is landed at Seattle. Congressman-elect
Humphrey Of Seattle headed a committee
from that city, which visited Tacoma yes
terday and demanded that the escort COM
mittee OF twenty-five should include ten or
twelve Seattle men.
The Tacoma committee said this would
he impossible, as invitations had been ex-
tended covering the ehtlre twenty-five:
Congressman elect Humphrey championed
Seattle's cause. while Congressman Cush-
man sided with Tacoma. hot discussion
followed, ending in the appointment Of a
committee of Tacoma men to ascertain IL
any of their invitations could be withdrawn
so as to afford places for Seattle men.
This is believed to be improbable, despite
Congressman Humphreys threat that II
Seattle IL left out he and his committee
will follow the party to the wharf and there
appeal to the President for permission to
accompany him on the sound trip.

CHAPMAN CAN'T GET BACK.
Gen. Greene Says the cx-Captain's Applica-
ton Will He Refused.

Ex-Police Captain George S. Chapman
would like to get back on the force. He
retired on Jan. ~, just few days after Gen.
Greene became the head of the department.
Chapman gave as a reason that he needed
a rest Others said that he was frightened
because District Attorney Jerome was
after him After Chapman got out Mr..
Jerome said that he had nothing against
the captain.
Commissioner Greene said last night that
he could not remember exactly how he had
been approached on the matter. He wasn't
sure whether Chapman himself had made
application for reinstatement or whether
some friend had asked il such a thing
would be satisfactory to tho Commissioner.
Gen. Greene did say emphatically that
Chapman would not be replaced on the
force. The Police Commissioner has the
power to reinstate a policeman who has
retired il Application Is made within
year from the date Of retirement. How
ever, the law holds that a policeman who
has been retired on pension cannot he
removed from the pension list under any
circumstances. This would bring forth

THE PEST or WILD GARLIC.
II Cows Feed on II the MINK and Butter Are
Tainied Also Tatnts Flesh OF Cattle.

WARRINGTON. May 1o.-Hundreds OF
letters have been received at the botanical
division Of the Department Of Agriculture
in the past two weeks from dairymen and
farmers all over the Middle Atlantic States
asking for suggestions for controlling the
crop Of wild garlic, which is not only damag-
ing the milk, butter and other products
Of the dairy. but doing great damage tn
other ways.
Mr.. Lyster H. Dewey who has for several
years past devoted himself to special
study OF this pest, says:
This plant, which was probably intro
duced into this country by Germans, is
propagated almost exclusively by means
Of secondary underground bulbs and serial
bullets. The form most abundant In this
country rarely produces seed. Those
small secondary bulbs or Gloves" grow to
a depth Of from three to ten inches under
the earth and live all winter.
The damage done by the plant Is varied
and includes that to animals to be butchered,
as it taints the flesh quite peroeptibly.
Ono Of tho most serious damages done is
to milk and milk products, the cream on
than the milk itself, while butter made
from such cream Is utterly worthless. Even
cheese cannot be made from milk so
tainted.
The period OF growth Of wild garlic coin
cides almost exactly. with that OF rye and
winter wheat As the wheat grains and
bulbs are similar they are sometimes
ground together, making the entire prod
uct OF the wheat field useless. While
methods for eradicating the plant have not
yet been discovered, there are means OF
reducing the quantity and preventing the
spread. Ploughing seems to be the easiest
and most successful means Of controlling
the growth This should be done late in
the fall. the depth Of the furrow varying
in different soils, 80 as to leave as many
bulbs az possible near the surface, where
they will be exposed to alternate freezing
and thawtng. sAny surviving shoots should
be destroyed by early spring cultivation.
"This process, repeated for two success
sive years, will destroy almost entirely the
most stubborn crop. Hogs confined on
garlic patches in sandy land will root out
and destroy the bulbs. For lawns the
carboic acid cure may be used. few
drops applied to the leaves Of the plant
or shoot will not kill the leaves but the bulb.
On the White House lawn large stand
Of the wild garlic was entirely destroyed
by one application OF the carbolio treat
ment
For deodorizing milk. tainted by. wild
garlic, a small piece of saltpetre placed
In the recepticle will be successful. How
ever. this treatment would not be healthy
II pursued for long"

NEWSBOY 4 BIG WINNER:

Newsboys about the elevated station

deeply engrossed in race charts yesterday.
It was all because Herman Beyers. who

to indicate the truth of his story. In the

according to his associates. he went TO the
