WILL NOT NAME
STATE DELEGATION

When Congressman Cushman made a
statement last night to the effect that he
did not want to name the delegation to the
state convention, he relieved some of his
friends of considerable anxiety. Some of
his supporters had suggested that the CON
gresham be asked to name the delegation
The majority, however, saw danger in such
a proceeding and breathed easier when
Mr.. Cushman settled the matter by de-
clining to do so. As between himself and
Senator Foster, Congressman Cushman
said that he placed the interests of Senator
Foster before his own because if the sena-
tor were returned it would be for six years
and if he were returned it would be for
two years and at the end of that time
he might fail of reelection.
A number of Mr. Cushman's friends met
informally last night in the federal court
room and were addressed by the congress
man on matters of general interest. At
the close of the meeting it was suggested
that caucus be held tonight to arrange a
plan of procedure for the county conven-
ton tomorrow.

Judge Parker. The Hearst delegates come
from Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury
Heriden and other mill towns. while the
rural districts, the smaller towns and sew
eral of the larger cities, including Hartford
have sent delegates to the convention op-
posed to Hearst. 1t is believed that if the

they will not strive for an instructed

prevent Judge Parker from getting an in

FACTS ABOUT ANTS

Ants are too well known to need de-
scription. They are of many kinds. and so
exceedingly industrious and aggressive as
to thoroughly merit the character given
them by the text, 60 to the ant, thou
sluggard."
The various insect powders are easily
avoided by ants, and such obnoxious drugs
as carbolic acid and napthalene, while eff
fectual against the ants, are not fit mate
rals to associate with our foods, and that
is where the ants congregate.
There is, however, method of destroy.
ing large numbers of them mechanically,
and causing the remainder to leave the
place in alarm: Place meat bones or large
scraps of food in the paths travelled by
ants, and the insects will soon cover the
scraps by the thousands Throw the pest
laden scraps into the fire and put fresh
ones out for traps but give the ants
plenty of time to spread the news of the
feast and marshal the colonies to the spot
After two or three repetitions, no more
ants will congregate on the scraps. because
they are stampeded with fright Honey
and the honey comb would be no tempta-
tion to an ant to enter that house after
such treatment.
Much might be said about the very inter
esting habits of ants Their management
is marvellous, especially along the line of
domestic and colonial government. 1t has
been said that they destroy plant lice but
the reverse is true. as the attention ants
give to plant lice is exceedingly friendly.
The reason is this. Plant lice are fur
nished with a pair of honey tubes, and the
ant, by making friends with the louise, can
easily induce the latter to yield its drop or
two of honey. So SOLICITORS are the ants
for the welfare Of their sweet friends that
they will take the lice eggs into their own
nests and preserve them over winter. re
storing hem in the spring to the surface of
tender rooticte oli7rf Jtnef suitable places
for their termination,
Thus thousands Of plant lice furnish
sweetened milk TO the ants the ants rails
ing and caring for them as we raise cattle
and bees.
Ant hills in the lawn may be destroyed
by sulphide of carbon. Pour quantity
into each of the openings in the hill clos
ing them up by stepping on them. The
fumes will penetrate the chambers and kill
not only the adults, but the larvae as well.
If any case should not yield to this treat
ment, pour about three ounces into the
nest and explode it with match held on
the end of "A stiek-a good long one. This
wrecks the nest completely and forces the
poisonous fumes into every chamber and
gallery.

$500 to be used by the chamber of com

Two members of the chamber of com

day afternoon and urged the committee to
recommend an appropriation of this
amount, aud Chairman Dueyal introduced
an ordinance to that effect The ordin-
anee was rushed through its first and
second reading and upon motion it was
put on its third reading last night.
Prior to the third reading Controller
jackson spoke and said the city had no
money IN its treasury TO spend in that
manner, and made the foregoing state
ment.
The statement Of the controller created
quite furore and came as shock to
some of the councilmen who thought that
the eity's resources were inexhaustible,
Councilman Mortenis also vigorously OPP
posed the appropriation. He said the
money could be expended to better adj
vantage. Upon a motion of Dueval the
ordnance was referred 10 the judiciary COM

The Tacoma Times received early
this morning foreign kilograms Civ
ing rumors that the Russians and
japanese had fought a second great
land battle, with heavy losses.
These rumors emanated from
London and the dispatches stated
explicitly that they were uncon-
firmed.
Hence The Times did not issue
an extra, not caring to give out I'M
reliable news in that fashion.
When The Times issues an extra
the public can depend upon it that
something has occurred worth
knowing.
So many "unconfrmed rumors"
have emanated from London and
other cities lately that they are
entitled to scant credence. Oc-
casionally they prove true, but such
cases are exceptions to the rule.
