FROST DAMAGE NOT FEARED
Fruit Growers Say Fruit Will Stand
Low Temperature.
sLEET WOULD KILL EVERYTHING
Council BIuGs Grower Kept Fires
burning Until After MidniEht,
as His Fruit was Not
All Formed.

Though the weather forecaster predicted
killing frost Sunday night fruit growers
about Omaha refused to become alarmed,
not so much because they did not have
confidence in the prediction as because they
believe the fruit to be at a stage where
even a few degrees below freezing would
not injure it to any extent.
County Comptroller Emmett G. Solomon,
who has a fruit farm near Fifty-second
street and Ames avenue, said: "The fruit,
such as apples. cherries and plums, is all
formed and do not believe frost would
injure the crop
Cherries are as large as shot. / have
seen some on my trees as big as bullets
apples would stand freeze even better
than the charles
Ferries are not in blossom and would
not be injured at this time by frost.
"Sleet is what we fear II II would rain
and freeze as It fell and cover the blossoms,
the fruit would be practically ruined as Il
was last year. The wind which has been
blowing since Sunday morning has dried
things out and there is slight danger of
frost doing much damage as long as the
wind keeps blowing"
Mr.. Solomon said II would not be neces-
sary to cover bushes or build fires and
tar "smudges" in the orchards and he would
take no precautions to keep his fruit from
being injured.
Gardens Were in Danger.
Frank r. Martin, fruit grower and
nurseryman, said: Some OF the fruit is
formed and at stage where moderate
frost would not injure it, but ] am in
olned to think that a frost and temperature
four or five degrees below freezing would

Strawberries are not far enough along
to be injured by a killing FROST but It
would not take much TO put the pears and
peaches out OF business.
Gardens will be greatly injured by frost
and the loss would be considerable, but the
wind promises TO keep away frosts"
Fires at Council BIuns.
Frosts and snow May l. or the last week
Of April are no unusual thing. and some
fruit growers are prepared to fight for
their fruit, but inquiry of number of
nurserymen last evening failed TO find but
one who said he would build fires in his
orchard. B.. r. olmstead OF Council Bluffs
said:
Il have seen too much fruit ruined to

Lake Arthur's base Dall team, siren
gthened by Hal Ware, Wrenn and Ath
ertol, three of Hagerman's best play
ers, came to Roswell yesterday and
before a small crowd at Amusement
Park was defeated FIVE to one by the
locals. The visitors out-batted Ros-
well, but Bratton, of Lake Arthur, did
not receive the support that Wynne.
Roswell's slab artist, was given and
the game was lost strictly on errors.
The earned runs were one apiece,
both runners starting when hit by
the pitcher.
The Lake Arthur boys scored only
in the second, when Nelson, after be-
ing hit, stole second, and ran home
on Evans single to left.
In the third, fourth a1d fifth Ros-
well scored one each inning, but as
there were no bases on balls, no bat
ters hit by pitcher and only one hit
in each inning, the base advancement
is not worth description. In the Sth

FLOOD ALMOST STATION

st. Louis, June 2O.-Sweeping thru
the valley at the rate of four miles
an hour, the flood tide of the Miss
issippi is believed to have reach ed
it's crest, and after remaining sta
tionary for a day that it will slowly
recede. The stage of the water meas
ured 34.9 here this morning, a rise
of little more than an inch duri.s
the night. A steady stream of debris
and tree trunks bobbing on the sur
face today is surging through St.
Louis haf;bor. This indicates that
since yesterday considerable addition
al ground has been inundated up
stream Throughout the night gangs
of Iaborers piled thousands of sacks
of sand to form temporary levees for
the protection of East ST. Louis.
Venice, Madison and Granite City,
imm mediately north of East ST. Louis,
are suffering from the flood. In Ven
ice, especially, the situation is grave.
Some houses are standing in seven
feet of water and have been aban-
doned. In Granite and Madison the
food has encroached only into the
outlying portions. Between these
towns farming lands are inundated
from one to ten feet.

TAFT GIVEN A HEARTY
WELCOME HOME.

Cincinnati, o., June 20.-A hearty
welcome home was given Secretary
Taft when he arrived here at 1850. A
half hour earlier a Chicago train
brought Vice Presidential candidate
Sherman and the subcommittee OF
the national committee who are to
confer with Mr.. Taft on plans for
the campaign. Charles P. Taft was
on the same train with the su5-com-
mittee, and all waited for the arrival
of the Washington train. Escorted by
a large number of Cincinnatia1s.
Taft and Sherman were driven at
at once to the residence of Charles
p. Taft, where they breakfasted.
About the Taft residence a great
crowd, and the Secretary Of War and
Mr.. Sherman were cheered heartily.
AS they alighted from the carriage
both Of them made acknowledgment,
Mr.. Taft taking the opportunity to
shake hands with several old friends.
The trip from Washington was une-
ventful. although at several places
along the line crowds had assembled
at the stations to get a glimpse Of
the Republican candidate.
The subcommittee which accompa-
MED Sherman from Chicago was
headed by the veteran Powell Clay
ton Of Arkansas. and included former
Governor Herrick of Ohio, Frank B.
Kellogg OF Minnesota, Chas. Nagel
of Missouri, z. e. Hart of Iowa and
Senator Lowden Of Illinois.
at the conference at Charles p.
Taft's house 1t will probably be de-
termined definitely who is to be NAM
ed as chairman in the campaign. 1t
was evident from discussion among
the members of the subcommittee
that they are nearly equally divided
ON the question. Both Frank H. Hitch
cock. who was manager of Taft's pre-
liminary campaign from Washington,
and Arthur I. vorys. his Ohio mana
ger, have staunch adherents, but the
sentiment developed today IN favor

down, about half a mile from mis- wa

several months. The sheriff brought
the body to Carlsbad Thursday morn
ing, when it was found that there
was a bullet hole through the right
side of the head and that the bullet
had entered at the base of the brain
and, coursing downward, had torn
away the right side Of the jaw. This

proves that Freeman was shot from

A SCORE INJURED BY ExPLo-

Philadelphia. Pa, June 20.-One
man is dead, another missing and
nearly a score injured today as the
result of an explosion aboard the
German steamer Arcadia, which ar
rived yesterday from Hamburg. The
dead man was a negro stevedore The
majority of the injured also are 1e-
gro stevedores, and some of them
will lose limbs. The explosion occur
red in the forward hold of the steam
er from unknown causes. There was
nothing explosive in the cargo, and
it is believed the explosion was due
to accumulation of gases while the
hold was closed.
Twenty-Five men had entered the
forward hold to unload the cargo
when the explosion occurred. There
was great difficulty in getting the
men out as fire followed the eNplo-
sion. The fire department saved the
steamer from total destruction, but
the damage is heavy.
