EASTERN SHORE FRUIT
GROWERS Confident.
Orchards In Peach Belt Are
Healthy And Frost Is Now
Not Feared.

Eastern Shore fruit growers are living
in an atmosphere of great cxpccta-
tions." With practically no crop in the
Eastern Shore peach belt last year TO
lower the vitality of the trees. the or
chards went into winter quarters vigor-
ous and healthy, a strong point in favor
of heavy crop this year. The coniin-
ued cold of the past winter. followed by
a late spring, has retarded the develop
ment of the fruit buds to such an extent
that. under the most springlike weather
conditions from now on. the trees will
not be in full bloom until the danger
from April frosts has practically passed.
Mr. John c. Bosiey, general freight
and passenger agent for the Queen Anne
Railroad Company. returned several
days ago from an inspection trip through
Maryland and Delaware fruit and truck
ing sections. Mr.. Bosley said Tuesday:
"Of course, no crop is absolutely safe
from disaster until the money is banked.
but up to this time. the conditions along
our road are favorable TO fine fruit
crop The buds of all fruits have bare
ly begun TO swell. and growers are con.
fident that, unless very unusual weather
will be safe from frost. All fruit trees
are well set with fruit aud the growers
are sanguine.
1T is little early to speculate AS to
tomatoes and small fruits. but farmers
are preparing for IA heavy acreage of the
former, and are providing crates, car.
riers. and bask It's for full crop of ber-
ries, plums. etc. \ long, cold winter is
always favorable to big fruit crops
Mr.. Thomas j. Shallcross. one of the
pioneers i'll Eastern Shore peach grow
ing. in discussing the situation said:
1.-THE fruit outlook is good. Peaches
and pears, our principal fruits, carried
through the winter WELL and as IA rule
the trees are well set with buds. With
continued warm weather the buds could

April 10 or 20. when. as IA rule. the dan
ger from frosts is reduced to the mini
mum. Though the temperature reached
the zero point several times during the
winter. it did not drop to the eight or
ten marks below zero point required to
freeze and kill the new wood and buds
Of vigorous. healthy fruit trees The
fact that we had no crop last year makes
the outlook favorable this season. The
indications are that we will have full
acreage i'll tomatoes. and next TO wheat
and corn, the tomato has come To be our
money producing crop.
Small fruits, 81 far as | can learn.
are in excellent condition-and,i in short,
the general outlook for fruit crop has
not been better for years

issue
Collections have already been made at
several points and next Tuesday has
been selected for the Snow Hill collec-
ton. and it is earnestly desired that all
who have this very important movement
at heart will be present.
We know our farmers are very busy.

Taking Desperate Chances.

II is true that many contract colds

any prccaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t

weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality.

ROPE FOR COLLINS
CUT TO PIECES
Souvenir Hunters Almost Destroy
Hangman's Moose.

Union, Mo-: Upon the fact that there
was no actual eyewitness to the killing
of Detective Schumacher is based Ru-
dolphs only hope for life.
AS in the case of George Collins,
the defense is trying to magnify the
fact that the members of the posse.
of which Schumacher was a member,
did not actually see the killing. The
defense is trying to show that some
member of the posse might have shot
Schumacher.
Some evidence indicates that only
three shots were fred, and the best
evidence leads to the belief that there
was only one shot, and this shot was
fired by B. F. Tichener after Schu-
macher lay PROSTATE on the ground.
The rope ordered from st. Louis,
which was to have been used to hang
Collins, arrived Wednesday night, but
it was hacked up so badly by souvenir
hunters that Sheriff Bruch considered
it unsafe and sent it back.
The State rested at $50 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, after examining
thirty witnesses. The defense had put
on one witness when adjournment was
taken.
The Circuit Court room Wednesday
afternonon gave the appearance of
bargain matinee at a st. Louis the
alter. From St. Clair came twenty-five
schoolgirls, solely for the purpose of
attending the trial.
StauntOn, Anaconda and other near
by villages furnished their quota of
curious girls. Three st. Louis women
are here tn tag to get an audience with
Collins, but thus far have failed in
their efforts. Sheriff Bruch is using the
utmost precautlon, and will not allow
anyone to enter the Jail.
The character of the evidence intro
duced against Rudolph is so positive
that it is believed that he has praeti-
cally no chance of acQulttal.

st. Louis: Fire destroyed the saloon
and the dwelling of John Dinzler at
No. $500 and 25O2 Market avenue.
East st, Louis, Friday morning. The
houses had been almost demolished
by the wind on Thursday night and
the fire finished what was left The
cause Of the FIRE is unknown.
II developed Friday that the storm
had caused a property loss Of about
$4,000 at the Pittsburg Reduction
plant and about $1,000 at the st. Louis
Fireworks Company's plant.
In addition to these and the losses
reported In Fridays reports, was a
two-story brick house which had just
been erected by the Southern Illinois
Construction Company in Alta Sta. It
was blown down. The loss is estimated
at about $2500.
Many cellars in East ST. Louis were
flooded.
At Belleville it was feared for sew
eral hours Friday that the Richland
Creek would flood out the gas plant
and put out the fires in the furnaces.
This occurred twelve years ago Fri.
day evening the water was reported to
be subsiding.

wrought much damage in Madison

LETTERS ADMITTED
AS EVIDENCE
Judge Adams cverruiss Contention
Of DEFENSE on Every POint

st. Louis. The general impression
in Judge Adams's courtroom In the
Federal building at the close Of Wed
nesday's session at the trial Of Senator
Joseph r. Burton seemed TO be that
the Government had greatly strength
ened its case and that conviction
would be secured.
The Government had q decided adj
vantage in the discussion Of the var
ious legal points which we're contested,
the Court upholding the Government
in every Instance.
Almost the entire afternoon session
was occupied in arguments as to
whether the check sent to Senator
Burton by the Rialto Grain and Sc
curities Company could be admitted
as evidence.
The defense had apparently pre-
pared to contest this point in the
strongest manner possible, and it is
believed to be the pivotal point in
the trial. Judge Chester H. Krum and
Frederick w. Lehman, attorneys for
the defense. each discussed the point
at length.
1t was considered as significant that
Judge Adams, in admitting the check
as evidence, said that a prominent
attorney might do a service by merely
being known to be the counsel in a
case, and that It was possible that the
fact that a man in high position might
be of service by merely making It
known that he was interested in a
cause
After the admission Of the first
check, Arthur t. Brice, cashier OF the
Riggs National Bank Of Washington,
d. c.. testified that the check had been
deposited in his bank, and told of the
method of collection. He said that Sen
ator Burton's account was overdrawn
at the time the check was deposited.
Circuit Attorney Dyer then offered
another check, dated December 16.
Another discussion was precipitated,
which ended in the check being ad-
mitted.
The court then adjourned until
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
