FORTUNE HANGS
ON ONE LETTER

OAKLAND, June with the air of
one who had millions at stake, Colonel c..
e. Apponyi of Los Angeles, formerly a
building contractor Of Oakland, dropped
into the Board of Health Office this morn
ing and took Eddie Planer. the secre-
that official to name his own price to
change the records of birth In the case of
Albert Apponyi, the callers son.
That event occurred in September, 1877.
The record shows that the hopeful's name
was Appon. Upon the omission of the
letter ''y' hangs the romantic tale of a
vast fortune, which the inquiring parent
avowed would come to his son through
blue-blooded Hungarian ancestry II this
blot in the birth record could only be re-
moved.
According to Apponyi. he and his son
are blood kin with Count Albert Apponyi,
a Hungarian nobleman, who died some
time ago, leaving vast estates in the lower
half of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
But the error in the record stands as a
permanent bar against the proof Of the
sons rights, and it must be rectified at
all hazards, insisted the colonel this
morning when he communed with Planer.
The secretary was not impressed with the
situation. He spurned the VISITORS urgent
tenders and advised him to see lawyer.
Apponyi said he was due at Seattle on
important business and must leave at
once. He promised to return and take
the legal steps that might be necessary
to insert the missing "y'' in the record.
After that is Strengthened out Colonel
Apponyi will he said, send his son and
the young mans mother to Hungary to
claim the fortune.
The birth record shows the boy was
born at 521 Tenth street. Apponyi said he
erected the Oakland Bank of Savings
block and that he was interested with
Dawson, after whom the Klindike mining
camp was named. Count Apponyi, he an
nounced, was commissioner to the st.
Louis Exposition from Hungary and had
the honor of being entertained by Presi-
dent Roosevelt before he returned to Eu-
rope where he died.

New Species Found
to Be Deadly
Pest.
Discovery a Great
Surprise to
Science.

BERKELEY, June 6.-A discovery
which is expected to startle the scien-
tihe world was announced to-day by
Professor c. vi. Woodwork, who is in
charge of the chronological work of
the college of agriculture. new spe-
cies of centipede has been found I'm the
Sacramento Valley which preys upon
asparagus plants, threatening the de-
struction of hundreds of acres of the
cros.
1t has not been known hitherto that
centipedes preyed upon vegetable life. In
all the literature dealing with the sub
ject. Professor Woodwork says, the CEN
tipede family is rated as carnivorous.
The fact that branch of the family,
centipedes unquestionably, has attacked
the asparagus beds in the Sacramento
Valley. devastating the fields and strik-
ing despair 10 the hearts of the growers,
is, according to Professor Woodwork a
distinctly new contribution to the history
Of the centipede tribe.
The circumstances relating to the dis
coYery of the centipedes' work, the treat
ment Of the pest and the changes that
must now be made in the data relating to
centipedes, will all be treated of in a bull
letin which Professor Woodwork is pre-
pairing, TO be issued soon. ~
The asparagus-grower in the Sacra-
menIo Valley were puzzled said Pro-
fesser Woodwork to-day, when they
discovered recently that their young
plants were being cut into by a peculiar
looking insect. differing in form from any
of the pests that the growers are familiar
with. One man there, who knew the
pecuIiarities of centipedes, decided that
the odd-Iool1ing insect which was found
-, - - coll of fha- a 9
paragus, was a species of centipede.
Now centipedes bite people and they
bite animals, or they bite insects. They
live on flesh and not on vegetable life, so
f3r as science knows, and in all the lit
erature on the subject they are classined
as carniyorous insects.
when the asparagus-growers wrote to
me that they believed centipedes were
attacking the asparagus crop / replied
that such could hardly be the case, as
centipedes are earnivorous. 1 went to
the region affected, however, and there,
sure enough. were centipedes, genuine
centipedes. busily feeding on the aspara-
gus stalks They were digging in head
foremost. spelling the stalks completely
and doing incalculable damage. Expert
ments were begun and some success was
achieved in the task of killing them off.
Lime was used as a cure for the pest, and
we think eventually they can be got
rid of BIZ such means.
THE centipede which eats the aspara-
gus is of the variety called Scollo pens
dreIla. 1t is much smaller than the CEN
t;pede which is so common in Arizona
and other parts of the Southwest, but has
the structural features that distinguish
the centipede, and there is no question of
the fact that the centipedes we found eat
ing ASPARAGUS really are centfpedeS of the
old-fashioned, detestable Sort" 4I

While making his way up a narrow
ravine, heavily clothed with brush, the

DENIES HE CAUSED EXPLOSION.

OAKLAND. June Ben Bayles for
merly night cook at Fischer's bakery,
who was charged by the proprietor
with having left the fuel oil in the
kitchen range running when the cooks
and walters went out on strike, thereby
causing an explosion the next morning,
to-day denied that he had left the feed
valve open when he left the restaurant.
Bayles said that the trouble was caused
by the man who took his place, who, in
his ignorance of the proper way to
operate the oil-burning range. allowed
the oil to run into the burner too
rapidly. causing it to accumulate on
the bottom of the range. where it
finally exploded. Bayles declares that
he will bring suit against the pro-
prietor of the restaurant for having
publicly accused him OF having left the
oil running with the Intention of caus-
ing trouble.
