NOTE OF WRRNING.

bitches and Roads in the Hud.
son Bay Country.

Howard Evans, recently appointed
fruit inspector for Umatilla county.
is calling attention to the Russian
thistle, which has already obtained
considerable foothold in this county.
He warns the farmers Of its destruc-
tiveness.
This obnoxious weed Is very .plen-
tiful in the Hudson Bay district,
where it Is found along the roads and
irrigating bitches. The weed is con-
fined to a limited area in the county.
and ii the county commissioners rea-
lie in time the great Importance of its
total eradication it may be stamped
out now and forever.
It is closely related to the American
tumble weed, and is an annual coming
from seed each year. Making it's ap-
pearance in April and May, the first
two leaves are tender shoots, resembl-
ing grass blades, and in the early
stages are young and tender and are
eaten by stock. 1t blossoms when two
months old, and then increases in a
dense, bushy mass from two to
three feet high and from four to six
feet in diameter every branch being
lined its entire length with seed. I'm

bounds before the wind, distributing
the seed in every direction, until it
is stopped by fence, ditch, or vege-

miles of territory. 1t takes complete
possession of the land, crowding out
other plants
Mr.. Evans holds that it is criminal
to allow it to become established in
that county and state, an dcalls on the

SLAIN MANS WIFE ESCAPES
Police Allow Woman, Secretly We'd
d-d to Lawyer, TO Leave.

Chicago. oct. 22-If she can be found.
Mrs. Ada Marsdon Stevenson. widow Of
Attorney Charles II Stevenson. who was
found dead last week at the bottom Of a
freight elevator shaft in a downtown Of
flee building. will be prevented from Ieav-
ing Chicago.
Coroner Hoffman issued a subpoena late
this afternoon requiring her to await the
result of an inquest over Stevenson's
body Before it could be served. Mrs.
Stevenson had left her boarding place at
32C6 Vernon avenue. supposedly for a rail-
road station. Detectives from the Max
well street police station are looking for
her.
Mrs. Stevenson appealed to the police
earlier in the day for protection against
the family Of her landlord. J. Plummer,
whom she accused Of keeping her pris-
oner in her room for twenty-four hours.
A uniformed paUolman watched at her
door while she packed her belongings
preparatory to leaving the house.
The PlummeTs say they treated their
bOarder with great kindness. Mrs.
Stevenson replies that she had n ply
steal encounter with Mrs. plummer as n
result of the latters objections to the
ADMISSION or persons QeSlrOuS or lnfOfma-
ton concerning the dead lawyers past
life.
The coroner is much fncensed that the
police should actually have aided Mrs.
Stevenson in her avowed intention to
fee, taking with her the key to the secret
Of her own and SteVenSOns dual lives.
and perhaps 20 the mystery OF the lat
tiers death. Physicians who examined
Stevenson's body to-day said positively
that the man could not have been killed
by his fall but that he was evidently
struck down by club or blackjack
SO many women are figuring in the case
I that the police are completely puzzled.
| They seem TO think the same one has
sometimes figured under different names
and in different roles and that the num-
Der is not really as large as the conflict

Commerce and Labor into the violations

Of the mill owners Of North Carolina. has
resulted. IL is said. in the discovery OF
conditions that warrant the immigration
Bureau in taking drastic action.
1t is understood at least eleven mill

left last night for the South 1t is be-
ieved he goes to take personal charge
of the cases. as they are regarded as the
most fragrant on record, and likely to
lead TO the uncovering of wholesale frauds
of this character.
Before his departure, Mr.. Sargent was
IN conference with d. A Thompson. Of
Charlotte. \. c. and other business men
of that community. who told him what
they knew Of the matter 1t is understood
that il was their revelations, combined
with what had been learned by the in
spector who had been sent down from
Philadelphia to look into the matter, that
led to Nh Sargents sudden call out Of
the city.
The decision to make the deportation of
the men. the chief feature of the prose
cation, was made after it had been found
the mill owners could only be punished by
a fine of s1,000.
That they will not be allowed to es-
cape, If possible, without even this much
punishment, however, is the determine
ton OF the immigration officials.
The attention Of the bureau was first
called 90 the violations of the law

in the railway station In Washington, and
after being taken into custody by the
police and questioned closely as to her
destination she revealed the fact that
twenty others had been brought from
England to work in the mills, all in vio-

a story OF her intrgues with David How

murdered by her husband, that she might
attribute i sufficient motive for the kill
ing Of Howard and save the life of her
husband
Few, if any, in the room believed the
brave little womans story. and il is al
most certain that she sacrificed her good
name in order that she might free her
husband, who was, however. found guilty
and sentenced to twenty years. with hard
labor. in the State prison.
Dittmar was a foreman in the SOM
eTville Iron Works. and David Howard
was a close friend. It was said that
Dittmar's wife was iusanely jealous, ard
had asked Howard to report 10 her any
defections in her husbands conduct.
