CHARLES HENRY
HAS NEVER HAD
A FAIR SHOW

Charles Healy and Charles Haines
were put under $50 bonds today to
appear before Judge Hinkle on June
3. The judge will turn the boys loose
if their behavior is good between now
and then.
The two boys were arrested a few
days ago for stealing a purse contain
ing s1.95. They pleaded not guilty
and their cases were set for today
The Haines boy was accompanied
by his father, who signed the bond.
The Healy boys story is a sad one.
His two sisters appeared before the
Judge to ask that he give Charlie a
chance.
The two sisters stood before the
judge and told a very pathetic story.
They said their mother was dead and
their father was a drunkard. They
were turned out of their home and
told to go and earn a living. That
their brother has never had chance,
but they would try and straighten
him up. The girls are about Is and
IS years old. Charles is 16.

BY r. W. WEBSTER,

Government Expert in Charge of Hes
sian Fly Investigation.
There is a disastrous outbreak OF
Hessian fly now in progress in eS-
IRENE western Kentucky and Tennes-
see. In North Dakota a similar DIS
astrous attack is being overcome by
a minute parasite which was found
in that state last year, BY arunclal
rearjngs, carried on during the past
winter. we have been able to deter
mine the presence of millions or
these parasites in the wheat stubble
of last year, and we also know that
they have not yet left their winter
quarters. Half a ton of this infested
stubble has been dispatched from
North Dakota to the ravaged district
of Kentucky and Tennessee with the
hone that these minute parasites VIII
become established there this spring
and attack the young of the Hessian
fv. Bv this means the department
hopes to be able TO reduce the pest
and the probabilities of further dis
astrous ravages next fall in the
stricken territory, which will offer
further relief another year
The United States department Of
agriculture is al present making
strenuous efforts to aid the American
wheat grower in a practical manner
in reducing the annual losses due to
attacks of the Hessian fly.
IT has long been known that mod
erately late sowing in the fall is a
practical preventive measure. But
how late IT is necessary TO SOW in
autumn to bring about the desired
results has yet to be determined. We
know that this date varies greatly
with latitude and meteorological con-

ROBBER CAPTURED

Portland Whitley" Is sure enough
in the tolls again. The notorious
yeggman was positively identified
yesterday by Detective Thompson at
Occur d'Alene.
Whitley" was arrested there by
Marshal McGovern on suspicion. The
marshal was not sure of his man as
the latter put up a great bluff and
he asked for an officer from Spokane
to identify the prisoner.
Whitley" denied ever having seen
Thompson, but the identification
proved complete through a photo
graph from the Spokane rogues' gal
lery.
Whitley" is wanted at Wallace on
a charge of robbing the postoffice
there and blowing the safe. A re-
ward of 5000 was offered for his cap
ture and this money will go to Mar

from September in northern Michi-
gan, to November and early Decem-
Der in South Carolina and Georgia
West of the Mississippi river condi-
tions are different, and we can not at
present determine how far south the
Hessian fly carries on its depreda-
tons
Bv carrying out an extended series
Of experimental sowings in the fall
across the entire wheat belt from
north to south it is hoped to place
exact data in the hands of the farmer
that will enable him to determine for
himself and in his own locality how
late he must sow to escape the ran
attack of Hessian fly. To TINS ehd
experimental sowings are being con-
Quoted in 10 states, from northern
Nfichisan to South Carolina and
Georgia, and it is expected that "heh
congress shall have provided SUM
cieut funds the scope will be enlarged
n cover the entire wheat region or
the United States.
These experimental sowings are be-
ing conducted by the most successlui
and advanced farmers whose cooper
alton can be secured, as near as pos
sible on the several degrees OF lau-
tude. Twenty of these experimental
sowings are now established all at
present east of the Mississippi river
but it is hoped that these Will be
further extended so as to INCLUDE 'he
entire country to the Pacific coast.

North Dakota, with instructions to
fully investigate the work or HesslaH

attention during the ccoming summer

1.-THE WAR DEPARTMENT IMPORTS GREAT NUM-
BERS FOR WORK ON THE CANAL THEY WILL
INVADE THE UNITED STATES.
Government Officials Say the japanese Are Worse Than
the Chinese and That Once in Panama They
Cannot Be Kept Out.

10000 yellow men are on the ground.
What is to prevent this cheap labor
drifting into the United States? This
is the question which the immigra-
ton authorities are wondering about
As to the Chinese, there is the ex-
clusion law, making their entry more
difficult, but never keeping out all
when they once get close.
AS to the japanese coolies. there is
no exclusion law, and it is frankly
admitted by the immigration author
tiles that there is no preference be-
tween the japanese and Chinese
coolies. unless it is in favor of the
Chinese. who is less quarrelsome and
more reliable. On the Pacific coast,
and especially in the states Of Wash
ington and northern California. the
influx of Japanese coolies is already
regarded with alarm, and one of the
most urgent demands for amendment
Of the present immigration act will
he for one to include this form Of
labor in the general exclusion.
1t is the belief of the immigration
authorities that the Mongolian labor
ers would begin drifting into the
United States very soon after their
arrival in the canal strip.
Even surprising them to be in debt
| to the contractors when they arrived,
| ii would not be long before they
would, with their economic habits,
! have money ahead Then they would
set their faces toward the United
! States. and nothing on earth would
keen them out If the steamship
! owners are like the companies whose
! ships ply the Atlantic, they will en-
courage the orientals to come.
| Recruits would he continually com
ing to the canal zone to fill the places
of those going north, and thus
steady stream. year after year. of jar
laborers would find Panama the frs
station on the way to the United
States.
All the immigration authorities
could do with the japanese would b.
to subject them to the usual eXamina
tion at the ports of arrival If the
were found to have the required sun
of money to escape the provision

contagious disease, they would entel
