The Hessian Fly,

Although the liessian fly prov
ed to be less destructive to small
grain than had been feared in the
early spring, a sufficient number
of the larvas have matured never
theless, and have gone into the
FLAX seed" stage to make precau-
tionary measures necessary at
this time if we would be perfect
ly certain that no hahn shall
come to the grain sown this fall.
Since the insect lives over sum-
mer in the stubble and issues SUI
fciently early in fall to deposit
eggs on early sown grain, it be-
comes necessary to destroy 1T
while yet in the FLAX seed"
stage. This can be done by
either burning the stubblc or
blowing it under thorough ly and
deeply during The present month.
Every farmer should accordingly
see TO it that all stubble of wheat,
barley and rye is thus treated be-
fore the flies can issue. If this
is universally done tn oughout
the fall wheat region the insect
can be almost entirely destroyed
in single season. Cooperation,
however, is absolutely necessary
lnd the work must be done before
the flies issue, as suggested
above. Late planting is also re-
commended where this can be
done without fear to interference
by an early winter.

found that he was able to pay the
money and found him guilty of con-
tempt. but on the pleading of his attor-
ney a stay was granted which expired

IT BLACKMAIL
Marsilio Vanni, Machinist, Is
Acquitted on the Charge of
Having COunterfeiter's Die
HIS WIFE SAVES HIM
Witness Testifies That Two
Italians Conspired to Get
Money From the Defendant

Marsilio Vanni, q machinist with a
shop at $40 Sansome street. was ac-
quilted yesterday by a jury on the
charge Of having in his possession q
steel die for the coinage of silver dol
lars.
About a year ago the woman who is
now Mrs. Vanni left him because of
cruel treatment and took up with Giu-
seppe Carossi, under whose protection
she remained for eleven days. Carossi
and his chum Francis Visciglio testi-
fed that the woman brought with her
the steel die and informed them that
she had taken 1t from Vanni. Accord
ing to their story they took the die to
Attorney A. B. Treadwell and he ad-
vised them to notify the secret service
men. Treadwell telephoned to George
w. Hazen. United States secret service
agent. Shortly afterward Carossi and
Vfsciglio went into Vannfs Workshop
and gave him the die. When they had
left the shop Agent Hazen entered and
found the die in vanni's pocket.
The defense was that Carossi and
Visciglio had demanded $500 as black
mail from Vanni. The woman subse-
Quently married vanni. She testified
yesterday that the story. about her
having given the die to Carossi and
Visciglio was falsehood and that she
had never seen the die. ]. Semeria

to Statement by Monnier

TRIAL IS NOT ENDED
Contestant Offers Evidence
Rebutting Testimony OF
the Widows Witnesses

The trial Of the Monnier will con-
test in Judge Graham's court did not
end as expected yesterday. the contest
ant having line Of witnesses In re-
buttal who occupied the day. but 1t Is
promised that the last Of the testimony
will be heard on Monday. Another in
timation of the problematical parent
age Of George Monnier Jr. was brought
out in the examination Of p. A Ber-
gerot, the attorney, who was an ac-
ouaintance of the deceased liquor mer-
chant. He testified that. during the
trial of the younger Monnier's divorce
case, he met the elder Monnier in the
corridors at the City Hall. Monnier
asked If Bergerot had read the &C
counts of the trial, and asked his opin-
ion thereupon. Bergerot, according to
his statement, expressed surprise that
George Jr. was the wineman's son. and
the father replied-Bergerot gave the
French phrase-that the boy was the
child of the sins of his youth"
Heretofore witness in the case has
testified that there was certain serv-
ant girl from Alsace in the Monnier
household in 1878. She was described
as an attractive blonde and there were
rumors about her. Mrs. Monnier. the
widow, declared on the stand that she
had no servant in that or the following
year. Yesterday Mrs. Auguste Bolte,
who said that she took her meals In the
Monnier house in 1878, swore that there
was an Alsatian maid. blonde and
named Lottie, in the Monnier service at
that time. She was asked regarding
the rumor which might throw a light
on the mystery Of the contestants ma
ternity, but Judge Graham sustained
an objection to the question, and the
gossip was not related
George Jr was on the stand again
and denied several Of the stories OF his
abuse of his father. He also said that
Monnier Sr. and his wife taught him to
play poker for the drinks when he was
Is, and that he shook dice for his
father over the bar when he was 15.
The contestants wife was recalled and
gave a different version of some Of the
incidents related by her putative moth
er-in-law. A. X. Henry, father OF
VioIette Monnier. told Of his daughters
good habits and ambitions. and refuted
many Of the charges made against her.
Cassimir Felix. who worked for and
was discharged by Monnier, required
the services Of interpreter Courvoisier
to tell Of the quarrels he had witnessed
between father, mother and son. He
said that when the boy asked Monnier
for money he got it unless Mrs. Mon
nier was around to make trouble.
