has grown a little faster than State
burg. Many Of the people at State
burg, it seems, are not altogether as
enthusiastic as Col. Dargan about
bringing these bands and troops and
tens of thousands of people, in auto
mobiles and things to Stateburg. They
would not know what to do with
them Ten thounsand people are a
good many folks. The people Of
Stateburg might contrive to eat them.
but wherewithal will they be able to
sleep them
It will be recalled that when Col.
Dargan came to Washington the
president wrote on the bottom Of the
letter of introduction from Gov. An
sci, a note to the war department ask
ing that whatever Col. Dargan want
ed should be done. Col. Dargan want
ed the Marine band and he wanted
the troops from the Charleston forts.
Il seemed at the time that he would
get them. The officials Of the war de-
partment nearly tainted when they
saw the presidents note requesting
that it should be done and they pro-
ceeded to see if it could be done. Mr..
Newberry, the assistant secretary Of
the navy, having looked into the le-
gality Of the matter, has found out
that the Marine band will have to
play on the white lot and in front Of
the capitol on that particular day, so
that it cannot go. But at the same
time it doth not appear to the war
department officials that there is any
reason, legal or Otherwise. why the
garrison from the Charleston f5cts
should not go and the commander Of
the division in which the garrison are
located has been ordered to send the
troops up to Stateburg. Whether or
rot the First Artillery band will GO
has not beer definitely decided. It is
however, very probable that it will be
sent.
When Col Dargan was here he
said all sorts of special trains were
going to run to Stateourg and, while
the people down in that neighborhood
who have been uneasy about the
Stateburg accommodations say the
monument is three miles from the
railroad, Col. Dargan will doubtless
De able to organize a very attractive
wagon excursion from the railroad

SOURCE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS
San Francisco Grand Jury Looking

Markey and Fairfax II. wheelan.
Louis Levy was questioned at length to
determine the source Of the, fund used to
defray the expenses Of the public reception
given to Mayor Schmitz in December, 1906
upon his return from Europe. Levy testi-
fed that $500 was raised for that purpose
among municipal employees leach one con-
tributing about t25." He said that the
money was collected by George Berger,
John McGlynn and Supervisor FNnrey, un-
der the direction OF the Metropolitan
league, a political organization; that Il was
turned over to himself, and that he in turn
gave 1t to President DuTy OF the Board OF
Public Works; that Duffy disbursed the
money and that the accounts were audited
by a committee composed Of Berger. Super

LoCUSTS IN THE TRANSvAAL
BasutOs Make Feast when Pests
Arrive and DO Not Seem to
Suffer.

JOHANNESBURG, April 6.-(Special)-
Clouds Of locusts visited the Transvaal in
the past season and all the ingenuity of
the farmers and government officials has
been put into devising means OF getting rid
of the plague. The natives seem TO have
taken the thing much moro quietly and
philosophicaliy. Mr.. Otto Henning. the
government veterinary officer in Basutoland,
interviewed concerning the native way Of
dealing with the locusts. said;
Those destructive creatures DO not
seem to have done very much dam
age to the natives crops during the last
season. and wherever they did put in their
appearance the Basuto were not idle in
seeing their opportunity of taking back
fair equivalent Of the damage done by
catching and drying large numbers Of the
insects II meant exchanging bread for
meat-in my opinion a most suitable and
effective method Of dealing with the locust
plague and well worth copying elsewhere.
II is not even impracticable where the peo-
pie themselves do not look upon locusts as
ht articles for food for the domestic ami
mails, from the fowl upward, and including
the horse, are by no means fastidious in
this respect. They can not only live, but
even thrive and fatten on them in times OF
scarcity Of food. Ground up and mixed
with bran they would form most nourish-
ing substance OF considerable market
value"
