FINDS HESSlAN
FLY IN GRAIN
Discovery of Stockton Farm
er StartIes Wheat Growers
of San Joaquin County
BIG CROPS IN DANGER
What Ranchers Have Been
Calling Rust" May Be the
Most Destructive of Pests
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, April 25.-The Hes
sian fly is infesting the wheat fields of
this county. John Grattan, an expe-
rienced farmer, made the discovery.
Recently on his sons farm Grattan no.
ticed that the grain, which is nearly
two feet high, is showing yellow and
beginning to die. He pulled up sew
eral samples and upon searching care
fully among the roots found several
small larvae or grubs at work. When
placed under a microscope the grubs
closely resemble a date. They are
small and can only be detected by
careful observation. AS many as six
of them were found in one root.
Florin Swain, who formerly farmed
extensively in Illinois, states that he
believes the pest is the Hessian fly. At
any rate, he says it closely resembles
the pest which devastated the great
wheat fields of Illinois few years
ago.
Many San Joaquin farmers who no.
ticed the unhealthy condition of their
crops attributed it to what is COM
monty known as rust. Swain fears he
VIII lose all of his grain and George
Hildreth and John Swain believe their
crops also are doomed.

HARRY BUNkERS
Boodler Gets Flippant While
on Witness Stand and Is
Rebuked by Judge Hart
USES A PR0FANE WORD
Makes Slaigy Replies to
District Attorney Seymour
and Arouses Ire of Bench
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, April Ex-senator
Harry Bunkers made a sorry exhibit
ton of himself in the Superior Court
during his trial for bribery this after
noon, and was severely reprimanded by
Judge Hart from the bench in the
presence of the jury.
Bunkers was called to the stand by
the defense to enter a general denial
of the charge that he had accepted
money from Joseph Jordan to influence
his official action with respect to GER
tain building and loan associations
On cross-examination District Attor-
ney Seymour questioned Bunkers as to
his earlier occupations Il don't know
what 1 did for living then.' respond
ed the deposed Senator, Il was too
damned young"
Judge Hart wheeled quickly around
in his chair in astonishnent. The Dis
trict Attorney did not intend that the
court should mistake the nature of the
remark
so you were too damned young to
know what you were doing at that
time, were your said the District At
torney.
Judge Hart sharply admonished Bun
kers that he was giving testimony in
more respectful language. Bunkers
tried to excuse himself by saying he
had used the word 'darned" and did
net desire to be profane. The court
told him that even that word would
not do. Bunkers disregarded the warn
ing, however, and was again repri-
manded by the Judge. Later on Bun
kers referred to some women compan-
ions as Fairies and was once more
reminded by the court that he was too
fiippant in his Speech
You met Joseph Jordan in X
street saloon one night, didn't your"
asked the District ATTORNEY.
Me; not me- replied Bunkers in a
manner of affected lightness. Again in
response to a question to whether
anybody else was present on certain
occasion, he replied: "Oh. yes; severi-
al" using the last word in its slang
form.
District Attorney Seymour succeed
ed in tangling up Bunkers in several
particulars. His manner on the stand
was that of. man who had no concern
for the seriousness of his position or
the impression he might make upon
Judge and jury.

OMAHA, Neb., April 25.-Thomas
Henry Tibbles, candidate at the last

tional PoDulist ticket, is preparing to
put his financial theories to practl-
cal test. With the backing of wealthy
friends whose views on sociological
topics correspond with his own, he Will

ciple that every depositor has a right

transactions.
L believe" said Mr.. Tibbles, to-day,

to each depositor where his money is
and how it is to be taken care OF. At
present the gamblers take the money

Honesty and publicity will be the
bulwarks of the institution. Every
cashiers slip will be accessible to the
public. The account of every man
will be public property and at the END
of each day a detailed statement OF
the business transacted will be open to
those who wish to investigate. NO
bank officer will be permitted to borrow
of the bank funds
Tibbles vigorously denounces present
day banking methods as the schemes
of the dishonest and declares the bank
examiner system to be a farce.

plant was filed to-day in the United
States Circuit Court by the Interstate
Commerce Commission against the
Southern Pacific, Atchison. Topeka

GIVES HIMSELF
Up TO OFFICER

WOODLAND. April 25.-James
Hewlett, an octogenarian. who shot
William Gamble in the hills of Capay
Valley Saturday night, is now in the
County Jail at Woodland. After
spending a night and day in the hills
he gave himself up to Constable Eddy
at Capay.
Hewlett claims that young Gamble
attempted to rob him as he slept in
a chair in Weleh's cabin. He said
that he smelled burning opium,
which aroused him from his slumber
and engaged Gamble in a scuffie, dur
ing which ne fired two shots from his
revolver. the last of which took effect
in Candles neck. Hewlett claims
that Welch was not in the cabin when
the shooting occurred.
The latest reports from the County
Hospital are to the effect that Gamble
may recover. His mother, Mrs. T. L.
Gamble, and his grandfather, DR.. w.
W. Gamble OF San Francisco, arrived
here yesterday.

HENEY'S POINTS
ARE SUSTAINED

PORTLAND, April 25.-Without ex-
ception every contention made by
United States District Attorney Fran
els j. Heney in his argument against
the plea in abatement filed by United
States Senator John H. Mitchell, is sup
ported by Judge Bellinger of the Unit
ed States District Court, who to-day
rendered decision of about 5000 words
on the plea in abatement.
The contention of Heney that George
Giustin. member of the Federal
Grand Jury which indicted Senator
Mitchell. was duly qualified to serve,
was supported. The defense contended
that Giustin was not citizen of the
United States. Judge Bellinger holds
that Heney proved Giustin's citizenship
by means of aff1davits.
Senator Mitchell was present in the
courtroom when the decision was read.
That he was greatly disappointed was
evident to all who watched him as the
reading of the decision proceeded. The
decision in effect decides all the pleas
in abatement filed by the numerous
defendants in the land frauds cases
and removes all obstacles to their trial
on the real issues.

Meeting Causes Tragedy
TROUBLE AT AN END

Hampstead. Texas, April 20
AS a result of the bloody battle mere
last night. when four men were killed
and others wounded, Hampstead is to-
night under the control of the Texas
Rangers. Martial law has not been
declared, but the adjutant general ar
rived tonight with a number OF
Rangers and assumed charge of al
fairs. No one is permitted TO bear
arms. The excitement manifested
throughout the day has quieted to-
night and further trouble is unlikely.
ROLAND Brown. SON of one of the
men killed at the Prohibition mass
meeting last night, was to-day placed
under arrest on a charge of firing
the shot which killed Representative
Pinckney. He stated that his father
was under the influence of intoxicants
when he entered the meeting and that
he attempted to dissuade his father
from attending. His father was firm
in his intention and went to the meet
ing. The son followed and took part
in the shooting.
1t has been established that the
trouble began when Captain Brown
attempted to secure recognition to
speak at the meeting. 1t is said that
his language was offensive to several
ladies present, and the shooting soon
after began. Congressman Pinckney
was shot four times and was almost
instantly killed. Thomas Pinckney, a
brother of the Congressman, was shot
twice in the back and killed. and
Captain Brown received a bullet
through his heart. John E. Mills, the
fourth victim, took no part in the
affair and was accidentally killed by a
stray bullet.
A prohibition movement in Waller
County was begun some years ago,
and the feeling has been intense. An
election was held in Waller County on
April 20, and the Prohibitionists, with
whom the Pinckneys were affiliated.
were successful. The Prohibitionist
League was called together last night
to wind up its affairs and disband. A
resolution requesting the Governor of
Texas to send troops to Waller County
for the purpose of enforcing the law
against liquor sellers was excitedly de-
bated. 1t was at this juncture that
Captain Brown. who had figured
prominently as an i-Prohibitionist,
sought to have the chairman recognize
him, and soon afterward the firing
began.

on the United States gunboat Prince
ton, now lying at Mare Island navy
yard, are being rushed to completion.
While no date for the commissioning
of this shin has been set it Is believed
that the day her colors will be run

that the Princeton will relieve the
