PLEADS NOT GUILTY
DIR. HARRY P. MCKNIGHT DE-
MES CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Jurv Trial Demanded and Case Con
tinued-The Accused Man Makes
a Statement.

DIR. Harry P. MacKnfght. who was ar
rested two days ago by Detectives McNa-
NEE and Flather on a charge OF attempted
false pretenses. as heretofore stated in The
Star, was this morning taken to the Ponce
Court and arraigned. He entered plea OF
not guilty and demanded Jury trial. This
action on his part necessttated contin-
uance Of the case. Assistant United states
Attorney Given gave notice that additional
charges may be filed in the case before the
jury trial is had.
A photograph Of the accused man was
sent to the officials Of the Columbus, Ohio.
penitentiary. and dispatch from there this
morning expressed the belief that he is the
individual who served time in that prison
twelve years ago. Capt. Boardman received
a copy of a photograph taken of the peni-
Tertiary prisoner twelve years ago, but 1t
is by no means regarded as good likeness
of the man who is under arrest In this city.
Dr. K M. Ferguson, mayor OF Southern
Pines N c., where DR.. knight lived last
winter. has furnished Capt. Boardman with
considerable information concerning him.
+ The name on the photograph taken twelve
wears ago is Hiram p. Mcknight, and his
profession Is given as that Of lawyer. In
conversation with Star reporter this morn
ing the prisoner denied that the old photo.
graph was a likeness OF him. and also said
he had never served in prison. The photo
graph. he stated. Is that of cousin. who
was arrested and afterward pardoned be-
cause 1t was shown that he was innocent.
He said there are four relatives with the
some initials. DR.. MacKnight said he was
born in Georgia. about twenty miles from
Macon. and that he afterward went to New
York, where he graduated from the Albany
Law School. He also lived at Detroit.
Mich. and said he was assistant law re-
porter in a court presided over by Judge
Brown. who is now. one Of the justices of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
xix Alleges Persecution.
MacKnight also stated that he Is a VIC
tim OF persecution at the hands Of doctors
In North Carolina. He il an osteopath. and
his successful practice at Southern Pines,
he stated, made enemies for him among
the other physicians. He says he was ar
rested and tried for an alleged violation
Of the medical law and was acquitted by
Magistrate c. w. Shaw. Later he was In
dtcted by the grand jury and acquitted.

Where They Tunnel for Water.

The citizens Of the town OF
Sweet, Canyon county, ID, have
adopted a novel method Of obtain
ing a water supply for domestic
and irrigating purposes. The wa
ter is dug out Of the hillside, with
wells like tunnels, and not down
into the earth as ordinary wells
are dug. Just back OF, or, rather,
on the east side Of the town is
bluff and high land above. ON
Of the bluff clear, sparkling noun
tain waite can be procured al
most anywhere by merely running
a tunnel in from twenty to forty
feet. At one point in the town a
stream sufficient to irrigate a fine
orchard and garden, besides an
ample supply for domestic use,
and for watering all the teams
that pass that way, comes pour.
ing out Of the forty-foot tunnel.
Neither the spring freshets nor
the summer drouths affect its
flow. In summer time its waters
are cool and refreshing in winter,
warm, and no teelh chattering is
the result Of a sip from this spark
ling riyulet.

destroyed a whole book. The title

Hall cains Named Plus K.

1t is a curious fact that in his
novel, "The Eternal City, Hall
Game writes of Pops Plus X.
The first Plus, Pope St. Plus L.,
was the eleventh pope, his term Of
Office extending from I58 to I67.
It was not until the fifteenth cen
fury that a pope took the name Of
Plus II. The last pope canonized
was St. Plus ", who died in 1872.
Pope Plus *, the immediate pre-
decessor Of Pope Leo XIII, wore
the tiara from 1916 to 1873. Plus
VII. and Plus VIII. were also popes
in the last century. The last occu-
pant Of the papal chair to take a
name not borne by one Of his prede-
cessors was Pope Lando, whose Pc
riod was oI3-'I4.

their stock before sending it into this state, which does not require the same treatment of Connecticut grown stock would probably be ruled as unconstitu- tional by. the courts as an attempted regulation of interstate commerce. If our law is liable to be attacked on these grounds. would it not be well to in struct our committee on legislation even at this meeting to plan for such changes and amendments in the law at the next session of the legislature as seem best to remedy the defect? There is much
 to be said in favor of law compelling all nurserymen to fumigate certain kinds of stock; but other kinds should be exempt. The chairman of your committee, who is also state entomolo- gist and is in charge of the inspection
 work, will be glad to confer with your legislative committee or with any nur- seryman or fruit grower regarding the proposed changes, in order to put our law in the best possible shape for the purpose for which it was enacted-the protection of our pomological interests.

INJURIOUS INSECTS.

Report of Committee to the Pomologi-
 cal Society.
 Professor W. E. Britton, state ento- mologist, reported to the State Pomo- logical society at Hartford Tuesday as follows:
 It is customary for this committee to present at this time a general review or survey of the season, as regards fruit insects. Unquestionably the most prominent feature of the year in this respect was the great abundance of the green apple aphis or plant louse, Aphis pomi de Geer. This pest attacks chief 1y the under surface of the leaves and the stems of the new shoots, causing the. leaves to curl and noticeably checking the growth. The lice could be found also on the old leaves, but were
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-02-09

tain from the authortitieh at Washing ton any of the Chinese lady-beetles for Connection, though the application was made more than two years ago and has been several times renewed.
 The tent caterpillar. Clisiocampa americana Harr., was abundant throughout the northern and central portions of the state. in some sections the nests being extremely common. Many of the caterpiliars died. however, before reaching maturity, according to reports received by your chairman too late to examine material to ascertain the cause of death, though the circun- stances indicated the presence of the bacterial disease which is known to at tack the caterpillars.
 The injuries from the codling moth Carpocapea pomonella Linn, were about what we expect each year, and the apple maggot Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh, was very destructive in some sections of the state. This latter insect is a difficult one to control as it is out of the reach of sprays and we must rely upon the choice of varieties and the de- struction of infested fruit. The codling moth can be controlled by spraying with the arsenites.
 The seventeen-year locust or periodi- cal cicada was expected to make the appearance in Connecticut during the season, but have been unable to ob- tain single record of its occurrence, though it has been reported from Rhode Island.
 Two new beneficial insects have been brought into the state which we hope may prove of considerable value, as they feed upon other insects, chiefly in- furious ones. Both belong to the order orthoptera and the family Mantidae. The European prayer mantis. Mantis religiosa Linn, is about two and one- half inches long, green or brown in col or, and has become firmly established in the vicinity of Rochester, N. Y. It was probably introduced from Europe in shipments of nursery stock. The Chi nese nantis, Tenodera sinesis Saus, has evidently been accidentally introduced into Connecticut. as egg masses were found near New Haven in the fall after spring importation of plants from Ja- pan. Anothere egg-mass was found in the same locality last summer. This in sect has also been introduced acciden- tally into New Jersey and Pennsylva- nia and has become well-estab ablished near Philadelphia. The Chinese mantis is about four inches long and when young feeds voraciously upon plant flee. Both of these insects rest upon the leaves and stems of plants and trees and devour caterpillars, and other in- sects that happen to come along. A number of egg masses of each have been procured and these will be dis tributed in Connecticut Some will be matched in the greenhouse where obser- vations can be made upon their habits and life stages
 In bringing this report to an end your committee desires to call attention to the fact that certain criticisms have been made of the Connecticut insect law. I refer particularly to the report of the legislative committee of the American Association of Nurserynler published in the National Nurseryman for October, 1903 Some of you have read the article. The point of the ar- gument is that any law obliging nurse
 rymen outside of our state to fumigat,
