A MAN OF MANY PERSONALITIES
COLLEGE BOYS WRECK
 FIVE CENT THEATRE

Ann Arbor, Mich., March 16.-College feeling among the students of the Uni versity of Michigan burst into riot to- day More than a score of students were locked up in jail and the Star theatre, a five-cent place of amusement, was lit- orally wrecked. Late in the evening the mob of students which numbered fully 2000 directed college rush" against the front of the building, tearing away windows and doors and plaster, and rolling the theatre piano out into the street, where leaders sse the students mounted the instrument and performed a dance to the accompaniment of mad cheers and yells from the young unmanageabl, crowd. The trouble dates back to Satur- day night, when a student in the audi ence who persisted in repeating the Ann Arbor college yell too often to suit the management was elected and thoroughly

SITUATION IS ACUTE.
seneral Massacre of White Residents
 Is Feared.

Paris, March 16.-The situation between he Haytien government and France has become acute and critical. The French legation at Bort au Prince is menaced and NJ general massacre of the white residents Eff the island is feared This information Twas conveyed in an official dispatch to the foreign office from M. Carteron, the French minister to Hayti.
 The latter part of last week M. Borno. khe Haytian minister of state, informed {d. Carteron that Hayti would agree to \ tllow the refugees who had taken asylum {n the French asylums at Gonaives and lt. Marc to leave the island. This morn Ing there came the news of the execution Mt Port au Prince on Sunday of be- Tween 10 and F prominent persons on the bharge of conspiracy against the govern Inent, together with a telegram from f'ameron announcing that Gen, Nord klexis, the President or Hayti had rot Inly refused to confirm the reassurances 3iven by M. Barno, but had fiatly de- Ilined to permit the refugees in the con- kulates to depart. Eleven additional per- Hons have taken asylum at the French fgation. The French cruiser DEstrees |E expected very soon at Gonaives. where |fhe will act in cooperation with the British and German ships of war now on |fleir way to Hayti. It is understood here That France, Germany anu dredt britdiH lire acting in accord in this situation. II Gen.

clubbed by a special policeman in the employ of the theatre.
 Tonight's trouble started with a small crowd of students throwing eggs at the building. This diversion soon gave way to a fusillade of rocks, and when the rolice were called to quell the disturbance the yells of dersion sent up by the young men brought endorsements. As the attacking party grew wilder, it's ex citement broadened approximately, and windows of the upper stories of the build ing and those of neighboring business places began to crash. Mayor Henderson summoned the fire department as several police officers had been felled w-s. flying missiles. The firemen mad no sooner laid their line of hose to give the mob drenching than with a wild yell, a de- tachment of the boys captured hundred feet of the hose and ran yelling down the street with 1t. President Angell of the university, Dean Hutchins of the law department, and Mayor Henderson vainly pleaded all evening for the students to diSperse.

pending this investigation, which was con- ducted by w. s. Rossiter, chief clerk of the census office and his report of the operations of the office Is now in the hands of the President.
 MT. Rossiter reported that he found no evidence of fraud or serious Irregularities. He says, however. that there have been some minor irregularities, chargeable in most cases to bad administration, and that the methods of keeping the books are open to criticism. An apparent deficit of s56S.399, due largely to unwise outlay for equipment, extravaganza in purchase of supplies and increased cost of pro- duction, is shown for the current fiscal year.
 The report contains also MT. Stillings' reply to its conclusions. In the main he sets up the plea that the report Is mis- leading and unjust, and that had he been permitted to complete the readjustment of office conditions on the lines he had laid down, the result would have been a model plant, free from things which in- vited MT. Rossiter's condemnation.

No one saw the accident, but it is supposed that when the first charge was set off they left the rest of the dynamite too near with the result that it exploded. A terrific report was heard and when an in vestigation was made a big hole was found in the ground, while shreds of human bodies lay scattered about. The trunk of the fathers body was recovered but only small pieces of the other bodies have been found.

CARE Of THE
SHADE TREES

The Cit es in New Jersey an Penn
sylyania are by statute now enabled
to appoint Shade Tree Commissions
to take care of the shade trees on
trees and assess the cost on the prop
erty benefited. They trim trees pro-
tect them from injury, clean out de-
cayed trunks and fill the holes with
cement, and make war against the
insect pests. Municipal Engineering
describes the methods Of work OF
the Shade Tree Commissioner Of
East Orange. N. J. and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming of trees, great
care is taken to cut off all limbs
close to and even with the trunk.
All scars are painted with a coat OF
thick coal tar. All trees on a street
are pruned to a uniform height, and
as far as possible that height is made
ten feet to clear ali street lights.
The campaign against the insects
infesting shade trees forms one OF
the chief tasks OF the commission.
The control of the injurious insects
not only preserves the foliage OF the
trees for the season, but maintains
their health and vitality. What can
be done by the persistent work IN
this line is shown by the results with
the woody maple scale (Pseudococ-
Gus Aceris-, whish attacks the sugar
maple. Other pests are the tussocK
moths. attacking the American elm
and linden, the white maple and the
horse-chestnut, the cotton maple
scale. attacking the white maple.
the elm-leaf beetle, the spring elm
caterpillar, the bag worm and the
fall webworm. The idea constantly
borne in mind is to destroy the IN
sects in as early stage as possible
to minimize both the amount OF
work required in treatment and the
injury done co the trees.
