DR. COOK EN ROUTE
 WITH WEEVIL ANTS
HAS ee COLONIES OF THE LITTLE INSECTS, WHICH ARE BEING lM- PORTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DESTROYING BOIL WEEVlL.

Washington, June 29.-Secretary Wilson and pr. B. F. Galloway, the director of the bureau of plant industry, today re- eeived the first advices from Dr. O. F. Cook, the departments travelling agent since the latter started from Guatemala with the newly discovered ants intending to fight the boil weevils in the cotton fields Dr. Cook cables from Purto Cor tez, Mexico that he wifi arrive at New Orleans on July with eighty-nine colo nies of these ants. He will proceed imme- diately to the Texas cotton district to begin the campaign against the weevils. The experimental colonization of these ants probably will be instituted first at Victoria, Tex. The location of the colo nies hinges largely on soil questions, the shale-like soil being most conducive to the success of the experiments.
 letter received by the department to- day from Dr. Cook says that the colonies should be located in districts affording a loose and moist sub5oil, but well drain ed. He says the ants will have to be kept under observation for a considerable period, and must be protected from birds or other dangers until the colonies have had time to increase materially. The ants come from the department of Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala
 Dr. Cook writes from Salama and says that contrary to many reports. there is no field culture of cotton there.

JESSE BAKER, young married man who
had been a book-keeper in the National How
ard Bank of Baltimore, plead guilty in the
United States District Court on Monday to
the charge of embezzling SIC, 500 of the banks
money, having spent that amount in speculat-
ing in stocks and cotton. In passing sentence
upon him Judge Morris said: Nothing that
the court can say can emphasize the terrible
consequences to bank clerk who is false to
his duty to protect the bank, and who yields
to the temptation to embezzle its money. A
young and promising life is blasted, family
reduced suddenly from comfort and happiness
to poverty and disgrace. Heavy burdens are
placed on innocent and helpless persons who
had a first claim upon the criminal for support
and maintenance. 1t is tragedy which no
words can exaggerate, and the law shows its
sense of enormity of the ofense by the seri-
business of the punishment. The sentence of
the court is that the prisoner be confined in
the Baltimore city Jail for five years"
