TAYLOR EXPECTED
TO COME BACK
STATEMENTS IN HIS ANNUAL RE-
PORT SHOWING HE HAD IT IN
MIND TO RETURN.

The last report of Wray Taylor as
commissioner of agriculture and fores-
try has been printed. Before leaving
Taylor stated that he must return in
time to finish work on IL and the re-
port itself contains statements which
indicate that Taylor expected to con-
tinue to carry on his work in the agri-
cultural bureau. On page IS the re-
port says:
There are many complaints coming
in as to the ravages of the cut worm.
This is a serious matter to the small
farming industry. Experiments have
been made at Nuuanu Forest Station,
but as vet nothing has been found to
effectually destroy the worms AS
soon as the entomologist returns, he
will be instructed to spend his whole
time in trying to get rid of this pest.
IF the same strict measures had
been adopted several years ago, that
are now in force, it is certain that the
number of blghts and noXious insects
in the Territory would not have been
so numerous as they are now. Through
the courtesy Of Hon. f. r.. Stackable,
Collector General of Customs, we are
notified of the arrival of any plant and
trees, from domestic and foreign ports.
These cannot be removed from the
wharf until after thorough eXamin-
alton by our entomolOgist. If affected
they are at once destroyed no matter
who they belong to. Only the other
week some small trees came from Sa-
mOa. They looked healthy enough, but
the packing they We're wrapped in
(moss) was alive with beetles, some of
which Naturalist Perkins said he had
not seen here before. The packing
was at once burned and the young
trees well washed with a resin mixture.
AS long as l am commissioner, l pro-
pose to take the most drastic measures
to keep out any new blights and in
sect pests. I admit it is not pleasant
for a person to import any rare plants
and then have them destroyed just be-
cause there are a few insects, or a
scale blight on them. The co-opera-
ton of the Custom House officials is
very gratifying"
The report ends as follows:
"In concluding this report, I would
again call your attention to the i'm
pOrtanCe of the preservation of the
forests: to the recommendations as set
forth in Expert Forester Griffith's re-
port. trusting that these important
matters will be urged in your message
to the Legislature. Sufficient, l think,
has been noted to convince you that
diversified industries are taking a sure
step forward, and that everything pos
sible is being done to combat blights
and insect pests and to keep them out
of the Territory. Every effort has
been put forth by your commissioner to
carry out the existing laws. controlling
this department rs faithfully and i'm
partially as possible And he hopes this
report will meet with your approval.
Respectfully submitted
"WRAY TAYLOR,
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Forestry"

RARE VOLUME OF MARYLAND LAWS

Louis II. Dielman, assistant librarian
of the Maryland State Library, has just
discovered rare and valuable volume of
Maryland laws-probably the Oldest
printed volume of Maryland statutes ex-
'tant. 1t was printed by Andrew Brad.
ford, in Philadelphia, in 171S, for Evan
Jones, publisher, of Annapolis. When
discovered the volume was without title
page, but by investigation of its contents
and by other evidence Mr.. Dielman was
able to identify and retitle the work.
The volume is of folio size and beautifully
printed.
: Among the acts is one entitled "King
George and His Successors Most Justly
Acknowledged"
a copy of William Parks Edition of
Maryland Laws has also been found in
the library. 1t was printed at Annapolis
in 1928. Parks was the first Maryland
publisher of newspaper-the Gazette
begun byhim at Annapolis In 1928. Tho
Maryland Historical Society has a few
copies of this publication. The first
printed copies of Maryland laws were
printed at Annapolis by William Bladen
in 400. No copies of this work appear
to exist.

for the distinguished Delawarean.
He is now in Wilmington enjoying a

The end of the work of that board is not
yet in sight. Testimony is still being
heard. After it is all in the hardest
work, that Of sitting the testimony, will
begin. 1t will be months before it is
finished.
It is not known when it is proposed
to have the Hague tribunal start on its
great task. Besides Judge Gray, the
other Americans on the board are Oscar
S. Straus, Chief Justice Fuller and John
w. Griggs.,
Judge Gray already has an enviable
International reputation. He made
fine record as a member of the United
States Senate from Delaware, The late
President Mckinley recognized his abiI-
ity when he named him member of the
Paris Peace Commission, which drew up
the treaty between Spain and the United
States after the Spanish American War.
As a Federal Judge he has received moth
ing but commendation. President Roose-
welt paid him compliment when he
named him on the Strike Commission.

WILMINGTON BENEFITED


1t seems to be the general belief of
railroad men 'that Wilmington will be
the terminus of: the.New York division
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the be-
ginning Of the Washington division.
Two Of the strongest arguments made
in favor of that city as terminus in the
fact that Wilmington is almost centrally
located between Washington and New
York, and the fact that the large round
house being built at Todd's Cut.
At present the terminus is at Philadel-
phia, but the company is badly handi-
capped for room, and it is generally un.
dsrstood the terminus will be moved,
With officers of the superintendent re-
moved to Wilmington, the erection OF
the immense car shops and other build
ings at Todd's Cut, and the building of
large elevated station, Wilmington pro-
misses to become the principal railway
centre of the United srates. In view of
these things, it is considered peculiar
that the name Of Wilmington should
have been eliminated from the name of
the company and the matter still rank
les in the breast of Wilmingtonians.

POUR INJURED.
Ten Pound Can Of Powder
ExpIodeS in a Sussex
County House.
ROOF, WAS CARRIED OFF.

Charles Magee, his two children, and
neighboffne woman, are lying in crit
cal condition at Mr.. Magee's home near
Dagsboro, Baltimore hundred, Sussex
County, the result of the explosion of a
can OF powder on Friday last. At the
same time part of Magee's house was
blown to atoms.
"A party of young men had arranged to
call at Magee's house on Friday morn
ing to 60 rabbit hunting and Magee and
the neighboring woman, who acts as a
house keeper to the. family spent the
greater part of the morning filling car
tridges from ten pound can of powder.
They had about completed the work
when an explosion took place, That
part of the house where the persons
were at work was wrecked. The roof
was blown across the adjoining field
distance of over 200. feet, the side walls
were levelled and the occupants injured
to such an extent that the attending
physicians have little hopes Of their re-
covery. nn -
From the ruins Magee was taken bleed
ing. He was able to tell what had oc-
cured. The woman and the children
were pinoned to the floor by the wreck
age. They were unable to talk and
showed that in addition to the external
bruises they were suffering from internal
injurious. By this time MIR. Magee had
recovered sufficiently. to attend to his
own injuries. Then he took a horse
from a stable and rode to the residence
of a doctor in Millville but by the time
he reached there he was completely over
come and had to be taken home in a |
wagon in which a mattress had been
placed.
In speaking of the explosion Mr.. |
Magee said that the housekeeper had
OF the cartridges in her lap when
the explosion took place and that her es-
cape from instant death was miraculous.
He cannot account for the explosion, ex-
cept that some grains of powder fell ac-
on the stove.l In the filling of
the cartridges seme-powder was spilled
and when the grains on the stove went
off the powder on the floor caught fire.
Magee was about to pick up the can to
AXE it to an out house when the explo-
non took place.

Legislature.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ACT.

Attorney Martin E. Smith is preparing
a bill which will be presented by bis

of the important matters which will be
acted upon by the General Assembly.
The document provides for general re-
pairs to the Kings Highway, commonly
known as the State road, and all other
branch roads leading to it. For the
most part the bill provides that the State
road must be macadamized and all
branch throughfares shelled.
The Legislature will be asked to make
an appropriation for this purpose. 1t
would take from five to ten years to build
the road as provided in the bill.

A YEAR BOOK AND GUIDE

You frequently hear mention of dead
languages. Well, some facts are even
deader, but these are not the kind that
The Tribune Almanac deals in. By way
of verifying that, just take a cursory
glance over the issue for 1908, which is
now on sale. 1t is not an Almanac in
the dictionary sense of the word, but is
really ready reference and guide book,
containing everything that such a COM
pilation ought to have. And the mater
ial has been garnered and sifted and
tested with the utmost care 30 as to Sc
cure absolute accuracy, or at least get as
near to it as honest, painstaking endea-
vor will bring one.
Herein will be found perfect gold
mine of information on topics of interest,
not only to every American, but like
wise to all who care to know about us,
our laws, population, officials, and SO
forth. tAnd, by the way, if you have
any friends in Europe, just send them
a copy and see if they don't appreciate
it.(
There isn't anything missing in the
way of records which the average man
will want to know about. 1t doesn't
matter what the subiect-game laws,
pension legislation, sporting statistics,
facts about universities, colleges, patriotic
population, public officials, to say moth
ing of a condensed guide to New-York
City, map of the underground railroad
system, showing the location of stations,
and table telling railroad distances,
Iares, etc.
In fact, it is really not an exaggeration
20 say that of the hundred and one
;hings sane person wants to know, at |
east ninety-nine will be found in The |
Tribune Almanac.
