mately S1e0.000, 900. The dividend distri-

Presidents Pay Limited.

The pay OF presidents is made con
tingent upon the amount Of business
written during the preceding year, and
no president of an insurance company
may hereafter draw more than $50, GOO
a year. The scale is graded from $10,-
600 to $50, 900.
The report recommends that no COM
pany be permitted to write insurance
poIices above S150,000,G00 during one
year.
At this point, new business must be
refused. This limitation may be re
garded as disastrous by some of the
old-time companies, who have already
exceeded the limit thus set. For in
stance the New York Life wrote more
than $3.50, 900 in policies during
Mutual nearly $3.50 COO 600. The Metro

where Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth are go
ing to spend their honeymoon and how
they viii make their escape from the

one of the latest alleged inside tips"
is to the effect that they win so first
to Plain Dealing, the little cottage own
ed by Mrs. Roosevelt in AIbemarle cOun-
tv. Va. After a few days spent in that
secluded nook, they will travel to R0s-
well. Ga. the old home of President
Roosevelt's mother
A week or more viii be whiled away
there and then the LongwoFths will
proceed TO Florida to remain until about
the first of March. The duration Of the
honeymoon may be guessed from the
fact that Mr.. Longworth has arranged
for a pair in the House until March 1.
The manner of the bridal party's
flight from the White House has not Yet
been settled but those who know Mr.
IonEworth say that he will in all prob
ability adopt the simplest, sanest and
at the same time least expected method
of going out of the Font door with his
wife, and driving TO the railroad sta
tion by way of Pennsylvania avenue.
Suggestions fer Honeymoon.
All sorts of programs are being ar
ranged for him by his friends. the least
devious Of which may be mentioned air
ships. automobiles. and deep DISCUSSES to
throw the public off the scent. One
suggestion is that the bridal party may
borrow the carriage of some weli-known
parsonage, suggesting the French am

NOW IS THE time TO SPRAY
Horticultural Inspector Gives Advice
TO Owners of Fruit Trees Who
Would Have Fruit.

To The Salt Lake Herald: The indi-
cations this year for a large fruit crop
are very promising; much that
everybody will have to spray their ap-
pie and pear trees as soon as the bios
SONS fall. and again fourteen days after
that time, with a solution Of one pound
Of Paris green TO 100 gallons of water.
keeping the Paris green well stirred up
during the spraying and giving the trees
a real good dTenching; not merely a mist
spray, but a real drenCh- The first spray
especially should be so that the calyX
(the blossom end becomes thoroughly
saturated as the spray is driven into the
blossom end with force. There is a fine
opportunity for one or two good spray
ing outfits in each precinct in the city
TO get good and profitable employment
for some time to come. 1t is necessary
that everybody having apple or pear
trees attend to this matter. even If they
only have the trees for shade, because
if spraying is neglected the trees become
a breeding ground for pests to annoy
other people
Under the new law. any neglect to
clean and spray subjects the owner,
agent or occupant to severe penalties,
besides the loss of the fruit and the
knowledge of being detriment and in
jury to his neighbor. Therefore, every
body having trees must prepare to at
tend to them at once, either by getting
a pump and a spray barrel ready, or
several neighbOrs to club together and
get a spraying outfit in company. An
Outfit that would answer the purpose
would cost from So to SIS
There is also another matter which
everybody having peach trees must at
tend to now. BY removing the soil to
a depth of about four inches around the
root of a peach tree, a gummy, sticky
substance is often found. Wherever such
is seen, il is the castings of a peach
borer. BY removing this gummy sub
stance. the bark underneath is found to
be hollow. and by digging into the same
with a small knife and following the
burrOW down, white grub will be found
in the burrOw. BY killing said grub,
which otherwise would come out as a fly,
a future increase and injury TO the peach
tree is prevented. From three to four
burrows in the root of a peach tree are
generally sufficient to kill it, or at least
to put it in a useless condition. Now is
the time to attend to this matter.

Lodge, that 1T is mere act OF justice
TO allow this statement to go out with
that which was read and attributed 20
the late senator from New Hampshire
AS Mr. Lodge seemed to have con
cluded, Mr. Bailey asked if the senator
would tell the senate whether it was ad-
mitted by the executive whether the al
legged conference took place.
Il did not cross-question in regard to
me statement made by the senator from
South Carolina. for I did not hear the
statement myself, and the president has
not read one word Of il. I ina CINE to-
morrow that when he has read the state
ment in full he will make a reply which
will satisfy the curiosity of the senator
from Texas.
1t was not matter of curiosity" re
sponded Mr.. Bailey. He explained that
If II were true that the president had
not held the conferences, that also ought
TO go into the Record, because he took
1t that the senator from South Caro-
lima was just as willing as the senator
from Massachusetts that the president of
the United States should have the full
benefit of the truth. II think il also
important" he continued. for those of
cation. to know whether an eX-member
Of this body assumed an authority not
granted to him
Mr.. Lodge made the remark in closing
that II must be obvious to the senator
from Texas from what he Oodge) had
read, that the president admits fully that
he had a converse ton with ex-senator
Chandler on the subject. as he has had
with dozens and scores of senators of
both parties in this chamber

ALLEGES UNDUE. INFLUENCE
Some Sensational Charges Filed
Against Cache County
Physicians.
Especial to The Herald.)

Logan. May 12-Joseph S. Petersen and
Zina Petersen today filed an action in
the district court against DR.. T. B. Bulge.
and the complaint makes some rather
sensational charges 1t alleges that in
January, 1905. plaintiff was i'll and upon
the advice OF the defendant and his
brother, DR.. D. c.. Bulge, refused to see
any of his friends or advisers, being told
that he could not stand the ordeal of
talking or attending to business.
But while in that condition, he charges
the physicians with inducing him to sign
a deed conveying his home to the de-
PENDANTS. He alleges that they told him
that as his creditors were pushing him,
he would be deprived OF the property.
and they agreed to take it and hold il
until he could take the bankruptcy act,
when they would return it 10 him.
BY reason of these representations he
says he decided to them for 1920, the
amount of a mortgage on the property,
a place worth $1,000 and he asks the an
nulment OF this deed.
The physicians named are the most
prominent ones here, highly respected and
with excellent regulations.
