FACTIONS WILL
BURY HATCHET
Two Sides in Division of
the Union Labor Party Say
They Desire Compromise
WANT ACTION DELAYED
Appear Before Supervisors
and State if Given a Weeks
Time They Can Agree
Oakland ofice San Francisco Call

1016 Broadway, June 6.
After several weeks of fighting be-
tween two factions of the Union Labor
party, both Of which claimed to be the
only County Central Committee, it was
announced before the Board of Super
visors to-day that it was probable that
the, trouble could be amicably patched
up.
The trouble arose when the Union
Labor Central Committee, at a meet
ing held last April, deposed Chairman
j. B. Crandall and elected A. w. Ath-
erton in his stead. Crandall took five
members of the committee with him
and organized a new committee OF
which he is chairman and R, j. Silva
was elected secretary. They then filled
the other vacancies on the committee
and presented a petition 10 the Board
of Supervisors to allow the name Of the
Union Labor party to go on the regular
ballot.
The majority of the committee, under
the leadership of Atherton and the reg
ular secretary, Lawrence Hyde, kept
on doing business and put in q petition
to the board. So far as the name on
the ballot went, both asked for the
same thing, and it could have been
granted, but the recognition of either
faction would give it right to appoint
delegates and it was here that the real
point of the trouble appeared. The
time, however, was passing for some
action to be taken and the two sides
have seen the necessity of settling diff
culties and announced to-day that this
would be done.
With the regular chairman, A. W.
Atherton, are Lawrence Hyde, NJ

HOPE TO KILL
OFF CORN WORM
Scientists at University of
California Prepare for al
Attack on the Little Pest
FARMERS LOSING MONEY
Destroying Insect Consumes
Half of Kernels on Cob
and Reduces It's Value
Berkeley Office San Francisco Gall,
214S Center Street, June 6.


214S Center Street, June 6.
Science is about to make its first at
tack upon the corn worm-that de-
structive little insect that has been the
bane of the lives of hundreds of farm
ers in California who raise the vege-
table for the market. This insect is
familiar to all housewives who have
supplied the table with the succulent
food.
He is the first thing that appears
after the husk has been taken off the
corn, and he is an ugly thing to look
upon. Usually he has eaten half the
kernels on the cob and there is little
left for the table. The corn worm s
greatest fault is that he reduces the
market value of all the corn grown in
the State one-half, and it is to get rid
of him that the scientists at the Uni
versity of California are laying out a
campaign.
Warren T. Clark, the entomologist at
the University of California is head
of the forces planning for the exter-
mination of the pest Mr.. Clark S
method to gain this end will be very
simple. His first attack will begin at
VOrden, on the Sacramento River,
where 100 acres of corn land have been
put at his disposal. There he will grow
various kinds of corn for the purpose
of aScertaining what kind of corn the
worm likes best. AS soon as this is
determined more of the corn to the
Mornis liking will be grown in an iso
lated field. where 1t is hoped to con-
fine him until the clean crop is har-
vested. In o word, it is a campaign
to isolate the pest. In every field of
corn after this year there will always
be one patch where the insect will flock
by himself.
In time it is hoped that the worm
will be oxterminated The difficulty
about it now is that the worm cannot
be killed off by sprays because he is in
side the husd, where he is safe. But
the scientists are not despairing, and
they hope some day to find a way to
put him to rout.

wards Saturday night, which was near
ly followed by a lynching, reached here

liam Riley of Moraga Valley for an
assault to commit murder on Carl
Schwartz. Riley at the time was in the
Haywards Jail, where he had been held
He was terribly beaten by a crowd of
men and was more hurt than the man
he shot.
Riley had some trouble with
Schwartz in a saloon and was thrown
out of the place. He was followed by
Schwartz and a number of others, who
chased him for a couple of blocks. He
suddenly turned and, firing his pistol
into the ground as a warning. told the
men that If they came any closer he
would shoot. Schwartz dared him to
fire and made a dash for Riley, when
he fired three times in quick succession
and knocked Schwartz down with a
bullet through the ankle. Riley was
then surrounded and while he was not
looking was thrown down and was
kicked and beaten by the crowd.
Riley is the son of Kendall Riley of
109 Vallejo street, San Francisco, who
was hung up by his hands to a tree by
Albert Sweet and C. l.. Perkins upon
his ranch in the Contra Costa foothills
back of Lafayette a couple of days
ago.
Young Riley went to Haywards, in
tending to go the next day to the as
