where the woman alighted and started

Goes In Search of Officer
Miss Bekin then went in search of an
officer. She drove along Sixth street
to Spring and turned south to Seventh
street, where she saw Patrolman Gill

duty and was waiting for a car TO go

The young woman sounded her horn

him to enter the automobile. The Off
Ger looked surprised, but entered the
vehicle, and was still more surprised
when the driver opened the throttle at
full speed and dashed west on Seventh
street. Gilpins eyes bulged and wild
ideas chased through his brain. Visions
of himself being kidnapped by de-

made him gasp. He was holding his
helmet with both hands and people
along the street stared in astonish-

girl, her hair flying in the wind, and a

He Was Mistaken in Judg-

Instances

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-Detailed in
formation of the magnitude and di-
yersity of the Standard OIL company $
business was given by John d. Arch-
bold, vice president of the company, on
the resumption of his testimony today
in the hearing of the federal suit TO
dissolve the oil combination.
Mr.. Archbold said it was the Stand
ard which, by eliminating the jobbers
and retailers, stepped in and greatly
reduced the price of oil to the con-
sumner.
The hearings were adjourned today
after a brief session until next Mon
day.
with the Standard in its early days
did not recognize its future possibilities
was brought out today when Mr.. Arch
bold said that in the eighties fears
were widespread that the supply OF
crude oil would be depleted and that
accordingly he parted with some of his
shares at 10 and so cents on the dollar.
Much of the day was spent in spread
ing upon the records figures showing
the production and consumption of oil
in 1882 and the present time.
Mr.. Archbold did not think much of
the possibilities of the mid-continent
oil fields when they were discovered,
and caused a laugh when he recalled
that at the time he said he would I'M
dertake to drink all the oil they pro-
duced."
These oil fields produced 10000 barrels
each day, and Mr.. Archbold said he
was mistaken in his Judgment.
Mr.. Archbold's testimony will prob
ably last several days, and counsel for
the defense probably will place Will
liam Rockefeller on the stand immedi-
ately afterward.

ton to the officer and they overlook
the woman at Eighth and Olive streets
and took her into custody.
She was taken to the central police
station, where she was questioned by
Lieut.. Murray and Detective Sergeant
Charles Moffatt. She declared she had
visited the place in search of employ
ment. and stated that she asked one of
the men at work in the front yard If
Mrs. Bekin was at home, and was told
to enter the house. She explained that
she was deaf and might have been mis-
taken.
A short time ago thieves entered the
home of Mrs. Bekin during her absence
and stole from a hand bag a small
purse containing $25. 1t was owing to
the frequency of the visits of the wo-
man arrested yesterday that suspicion
fell upon her.
1t is probable no charge will be made
against Miss Bekin's prisoner as mem
bers of the family admit they could
not prove the stranger stole anything.

Growers seldom recognize the disease

the blackened stubs OF badly diseased
seedlings, and have thought the in

Where badly diseased seed is plant
ed the loss from diseased seedlings Is
at times quite heavy.
The disease may and usually does
occur on all parts of the plant except
the roots. 1t is caused by a fungus
known 10 botanists as Colleototrich-
am hndemuthianum which lives as a
parasite in the tissues of the bean.
This fungus is plant, as much a
plant as the bean ON which it lives.
II has a thread-like nycelium that
grows into the tissue Of the bean to
obtain food for it's growth and devel-
opment and 1t produces spores that
serve the purpose of seeds by which
It spreads to healthy beans and so

to be seen by the unaided eye. This

The bean anthracncre Is known to
growers under number of different
names, depending largely upon the
locality. Perhaps the most common
one applied to this malady is rust"
However. as a matter of fact the dis

in their stages. There is true rust

The general characters IF these three

locally given to the anth racnose, it is
still one and the same disease that
most bean growers have IN mind The
disease is readily recognized by the
appearance which it gives to the in

trouble is usually first recognized. Our
Illustration shows the too familiar APP

The spots or cankers are black with

Study the picture carefully before
reading the following account"
1T is from the attack of the disease
on the pods that the most direct and
apparent damage to the crop results
During the time Of blossoming and
previous, the fungus has been spread
ing and becoming established on the
stems and leaves, and it now attacks
the young succulent pods. With their
tender growing tissue full Of water
and food materials, these pods offer
the best conditions for the growth and
development of the parasite. Spores
from the spots OH the leaves and
stems fall on the pods, where, in the
presence of moisture and the high
summer temperature, they terminate,
forming little sprout or germ-tube,
which penetrates the tender skin of
the pod and, branching in the juicy
tissues, gives rise to an anthracnose
canker These first appear as little
brown or rusty spots which enlarge
and darken until nearly or quite
black. The dead tissue dries and set
ties, causing q little pit or sunken
place in the pod. In the center of the
spot the spores of the fungus are now
produced in great abundance. They
ooze out and pile up, forming little
pink masses easily seen with the
naked eye. These masses of spores
are held together by kind of glue or
mucilage which, when dry, sticks
them tightly to the spot. When drop
of rain or dew falls on the spot the
muci,age is at once dissolved and
