GENERAL porHA, FROM A SKETCH.

Transvaal government under the new
regime has been commented upon as
an evidence of magnanimity and lib
crafty in the dealings of the imperial
government with this colony. The ac-
companying picture of General Botha
Is from a sketch of him made by NJ. A.
Van Welie.
General Botha was born in 1853 and
was a member of the first yolksraad
of the Transvaal He acted as veldt
cornet for the district of Vryheid at
the beginning of the Anglo-Boer war
and succeeded General Joubert as COM
mander in chief of the Boer forces,
which he headed at the battle of Colen-
so and during the rest of the war
Besides being brave, Premier Botha Is
man of extreme urbanity, of high
education, of lively intelligence and OF
much originality, capable of meeting
the most diverse and perplexing situa
! tons.

ARMY WORMS COME
IN VAST HORDES
Pests Threaten Destruction to Entire
Orange Crop-Horticultural com-
mission Tells How to
XIII Them
"OLdest and Best''

The army worms are marching on Los
Angeles in unnumbered battalions and
threaten to devastate utterly the orange
crops and other agricultural products Of
Los Angeles county. Dozens Of acres
of alfalfa, in some cases successive
crops, in the vicinity of Pomona, Whit
tier and San Dimas, have been de-
stroyed by the pests and greater dam
age is threatened.
According to the county horticul-
tural commission, nothing short of a
long hot spell, which will kill off the
worms, can save the orange crop, half
of which is doomed unless speedy relief
arrives. The commission is bending ev-
cry effort to save the crops and their
labors are being greatly augmented by
the present warm weather.
According to Commissioner A. T.
Carey, the commissioners are being del
uged with letters from ranchers and
others seeking some respite from the
incessant assaults of the crawling pests.
For the orange and ornamental trees
cotton wrapped around the trunks with
the rough, ragged edges downward pre-
vents the worms climbing the trunk.
Cloths dipped in an emulsion of laundry
soap and coal oil and wrapped around
the trees serves the same purpose.
To protect the gardens the commits
sioner advises the use of paris green
or any other soft emulsion which will
kill the worms.
Not only have the hideous worms at.
tackled the orange groves, but they have
even invaded the city and dozens OF
little garden plots, flowers and bushes
in all parts of Los Angeles arr
already showing the marks of their de.
structive jaws.

ASKS DAMAGES FOR
HUSBANDS MURDER
DEPRIVED OF SUPPORT, WON
AN WANTS REC0MPENSE
Demands That Man Whom She Ac-
cuses of Killing Spouse Be Com.
PEELED to Pay Her
$4,000

Failing to secure satisfaction for the
death Of her husband through the GRIM
inal courts Mrs. Isabella J. Shine yes
terday filed civil suit for 100000 dam
ages against. Thomas ]. Stroud, whom
she alleges maliciously shot and killed
her husband on the night of Febru-
ary II.
The Stroud case was a peculiar one
in that Stroud was arrested on q muir
der charge, was bound over from the
lower court for trial in the superior
department and was then released at
the last moment before he was to ap-
pear for trial on the ground of insult
| ficiency of the evidence.
According to the complaint filed yes
terday by Mrs. Shine she was married
to Joseph Shine June 20, 1905, Shine at
that time being SO years of age.
From that time on Shine made a good
salary with the Santa Fe company as
switchman. Stroud, another employe of
that company. was one of his friends
and the two men worked in the same
division of the yards.
Some trouble arose between Shine and
other men in the yard and it resulted
in Shines death. On the night of Feb
ruary II Stroud was crossing the First
street viaduct on his way to work
Shine was in the Santa Fe yards below
the bridge when some one yelled "scab"
at him.
Fights with Stroud
He turned and rushed to the bridge,
where he encountered Stroud. Without
any explanation as to whether or not
Stroud had called him the name Shine
is said to have engaged in a fight
which resulted in Stroud firing a shot
which entered Shines right side He
died day or two later and Stroud was
held to answer by the coroner's jury.
Later the case came up for trial in
the Justices court and even though the
evidence of self-defense was set forth
Stroud was held over for trial in the
superior court. A day was set for
pleading and he entered a plea of not
guilty.
A jury was called for the case, but
fifteen minutes before the case was
called a representative from the dis
trict attorneys Office appeared in court
and stated that in view of the evidence
of self-defense offered by the defend
ant there would be no prosecution of
the case.
That settled the criminal prosecution
in the case, but heavy damages on
civil action were asked for yesterday
when Mrs. Shine filed her suit In it
she alleged that Stroud's action in kill
| ing Shine was malicious and that he
ought to be punished for it, She claims
damages to the sum of $4,000 for the
| injury done in loss of her husband and
asks that $4,000 extra damages be
granted her as punishment to Stroud
for the shooting
