badly infected straw may or may not
be desirable in preventing the spread
of the disease. If any alternate host,
whether Burberry or other plant,
scould be found to be the prime agent
in completing the life history of the
disease, the burning of straw over in
fected areas and the destruction of the
other hosts would be advisable. The
selection of rust-proof or rust-resist-
ant varities of wheat or other small
grains appears to be the most promis-
ing field of work in dealing with rust
with present knowledge of the dis
ease. Some varieties of Macaroni
wheat especially appear to be very
free from rust attack.
4. 1t is not likely that the abundance
of rust this season has much bearing
upon determining whether rust will be
serious or not in 1905. AS stated above,
a small amount of rust is nearly al
ways present, and if the weather and
soil condition are peculiarly favorable
the disease will probably again be-
come epidemic.

Dr. Chadwick ArrIves.

New York Dec. 3l.-The steamship
Pretoria arrived this morning with DR..
Leroy S. Chadwick the husband Of Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick, as a passenger.
Dr. Chadwick has also been indicted in
Cleveland charged with completely in his
wife's transactions. He was very ner-
yous and excited. He shut himself up
10 his state room and refused to answer
all questions.
DIR. Chadwick was practically, but not
technically, placed under arrest by Sheriff
Barry, OF Cuyahoga county, Ohio, who
boarded the vessel and met DR.. Chad
wick and his daughter, Mary j. Chad
wick. The sheriff took DR.. Chadwick
and his daughter directly to Meyers
Hotel, Hoboken, n. j., where he has
consented to remain until Sheriff Barry
gathered his own effects in New York.
The sheriff will then take DR.. Chadwick
back to Cleveland, leaving at 4:55
this afternoon.
DIR. Chadwick, after his interview
with the sheriff, consented to an inter-
view in the second cabin saloon. "All
| know of the charge against me and
Mrs. Chadwick is what | have seen in
the newspapers. I know nothing of the
utterance of this forgery. | know
nothing now about it. Up to the
present moment | had believed my wife
to be innocent of wrong doing" 81
have not placed DR.. Chadwick under
arrest, and will not on his way tn
Cleveland. The explanation of Sheriff
Barry's rather curious statement is that
as matter of fact, due to either the
negligence or indifference of the New
York police authorities, he had not the
extradition papers issued in Albany
with him 10 use.

sponsibility for the fate Of the Russian
forces rests with the commander who
did not give instructions for the proven
ton OF a japanese landing on the Lao
tung Peninsula. The obstacles over
come by the japanese in the capture OF
Rihlung fort, the largest and strongest
OF the eastern ridge OF forts, are appar
ent by the fact that tunnels for mines
we're cut through solid rock and two
tons of dynamite were used to destroy
the walls. a majority of the SEQ brave
defenders we're killed.
