VISITS THE PONTIFF.
Cardinal kopp, Bishop of 5reslau, Calls
at the Vatican.

Rome, Nov. 27.-The Pope today re-
ceived in special audience Cardinal
kopp, bishop of Breslau. Considerable
Importance was attached to the car
dinar3 reception in view Of the fact
that during the long religious war, be-
tween the Vatican and Germany in
the days of Prince Bismarck, he to a
certain degree, assumed the position
Cf an Intermediary between the Vatican
and Germany. In conversation with
the Pope today the cardinal dealt all
most entirely with the Polish ques-
ton. The prelate has in his diocese
of Breslau considerable contingent
of Poles, who maintain an attitude
different from that of the late Mon
signor Stablewski. believing that the
Vatican must keep neutral in the pres
cnt conflict, which is also the opinion
of the German Center party.

Gypsy Moths Rapidly In
vading Pine Tree State.
Found in Alarming Numbers al
KitteTy and Eliot.
Insects Regarded as Serious Men,
ace to Lumber Interests.

Boston, Nov 27.-The National Bu-
reau of Entomology announced here To-
day the discovery Of a large number o.
gypsy moths in the State Of Maine ana
declared that the finding of this dam
rcrous enemy Of forest trees in Maine
is fun of grave significance. in view Of
the large timber interests OF that
State" The announcement follows a
special invest igation by the field forces
Of the bureau along the roadsides and
in the orchards in the southwestern
section Of the State. The insect was
found in alarming numbers in kittery
and Eliot. Nearly 300 egg clusters were
located in various parts of kittcry and
as many as 80 nests We're located in a
single orchard. The authorities intend
to push the inspection as rapidly as
possible along the coast line to Port
land. Il city which they point out is pc
culiarly liable to infestation because of
The immense amount Of travel and traf-
1ic centering there.
Following the general policy OF using
local men for the work of inspection,
young men with good eyesight are be-
ing bro ught from Maine to the moth
districts of Massachusetts where they
are f3miliariZed with the habits and
appearance of the moth. Then after Il
brief apprenticeship they are sent back
to take up the work in Maine.
The United States agent in direct
charge Of the operations is Dexter NJ.
Rogers. special field agent Of this city,
who learned that numerous gypsy
InOthc were scattered along the New
hampshire coast line and whose re-
sultant investigation brought to light
II serious spread of the moths in Maine.
Mr.. Rogers said today:
where pine trees. spruce and SINH
lar trees are stripped by the gypsy
moth. their death follows in a single
year; hence the bureau of entomology

Forst a Lowville clergyman, q contra :
diction of a very important statement
made by him on the witness stand
last week. At that time Mr.. Frost
swore that Gillette preached the sub
lect of the Big Moose tragedy to some
guests at Arrow Head Inn. where he
stayed after leaving Big Moose, where
tn Brown girl died. Today Rev. Frost
admitted that he was not sure whether
Gillette or some one else spoke of the
Big Moose incident.
The defence laid great stress on
whether or not there was water in the
girls stomach, how much. if any, and
what Indication OF drowning such con-
ditior would be. The doctors said that
only two tablespoonfuls of fluid was
found in the stomach. DR.. Hayes tes-
titled that he made IN examination
of the stomach a few days ago the or
gan having been preserved.
There was Il very small quantity of
liquid in the stomach and it had no
odor about it. There was no sand or
mud in the stomach.
On re-croSs-eXaminatiOn Dr.. Hayes
swCrn he made the latest examination
of the stomach about Nov. 20. He did
not know where the stomach had been
since July but il was in sealed pack
age. The fluid would not disappear or

fluids would keep unchanged indefi-
nitely in such a case.

Grated the injuries as had the physi-
