PARASITES IMPORTED
Brought Here to -Extern1i- nate Gypsy Moth ill New
 England.

New York, July 12.-An interesting consignment of about 2.OO0 parasite bearing caterpillars arrived yesterday on the American line steamship New York. They are consigned to Dr. L.. 10. Howard, Chief Entomologist of the Agricultural Department, who got back from abroad few days ago on the Cunarder Mauretania.
 While abroad Dr. Howard gave some time to studying the extermination of the gipsy or browntail moth, which has caused serious rayages here and especially in the New England States. He found there are f1fty-two varie- ties of killing parasites in Eng land, Germany and Austria, but how to get the parasite to this country was another question. It was decided that the only way to import them was to bring in the parasite-infested caterpi1- lars, and so the importation of them has begun. Since May they have been arriving at the rate of about D. 900 day
 There were ten cases on the New compartment forward. Gn some way a. case broke when the consignment was being taken on board at South ampton, and the caterpillars, it is said, set out to explore the vessel soon af- ter she got under way. They man. aged to get to nearly every part of the vessel and it was noticed that they always travelled down wind. The remaining cases were carried to a steerage compartment in the stern of the New York, so that if any more caterpillars escaped they would work down wind and over the stern.

Homacz was captCred at the scene of the assau ult by Patrolman Goulden.
 Hnmacz was very much in love with the Tediak girl but it was an affection that was not returned. He often came to the house of John Smith at 160 Nichols street, where the girl boarded, ostensibly to call on Smith, but in a few words with the girl. who con tfnually repulsed him. Homacz saw g photograph of Mary on the mantel in tEe Smith home and asked her if Be might have it, but was refused This so angered him that he drew a revolver and shot the girl in the back of the head as she was trying to run from him Charles Jablonski, who had been calling on Miss Tedlak, on hearing the shot rushed from the house into the yard where Homacz had made his attack. He was shot at by the wolald-be murderer, but the bullet went wide of it's mark. Homacz was found by Patrolman Gou1den in the act of reloading his revolver, evidently for the purpose of taking his own life. He was brought to the Second Precinct station.
 The young woman is resting comfort zbly today at St. Vincent's hospital. The physicians in attendance probed for the bullet yesterday but were un- successful, and will try again today. Re was out of work, but had former N been employed by the Deoxidized Bronze and Metal Co. He is 20 years old.

WHY GOVERNOR WEEKS SHOULD VETO AUTO BILL

During the past few days several prominent motorists of the State are said to have appeared before Governor Weeks to urge him to veto the auto mobile bill which has been passed by the House and Senate and now awaits his signature
 The State Association has just sent out a circular letter to the eight clubs certain terms, the opposition of the legislative committee to various parts of the bill and urging the members of the clubs to protest against it The the most important reasons for pro test against the bill:
 First. The proposed law is full of errors, chaotic and difficult for even a lawyer to understand.
 Second. The civil authorities are just beginning to understand and enforce the law of 1907, and to foist this gar bled mixed up, and incomprehensive bill upon the State will do much more harm than good.
 Third. The scheme of taxation pro- posed is absolutely unjust and one that automobilists will not stand If the courts will not relieve them, they will take the matter to the polls next year and see that no man who had a hand in that injustice gets a chance to re- peat it.
 Fourth Various penalties are omit ted from the proposed law, so there are prohibitions with no means of enforc- fne them.
 Fifth. There is no provision for re- porting many of the convictions to the Secretary of State. This is a very vital error. as reports of convictions are the basis of suspension of the 1i- eenses of reckless drivers by the Sec fetary.
 Sixth. The provision of the old law giving an owner the right to offer his car as security for bail is omitted in fhez new law This is very unjust aS a stranger might have to spend a night 1n 5ail for the lack of $50 real estate bond, when he has a five thousand dol lar car he could give as security.

THE STOCK MARKET
CWatson. Alpers & Co.)

The changes are largely in favor of the early lifting of the tariff incubus from business and are still more so as regards a successful agricultural outcome. There is no indication that the exports of gold may not at any time be checked by freer wheat or cotton shipments, due to recessions of prices to an attractive export basis. The plethora of bank reserves at all the leading centres of the country for bids the idea of anything worthy to gust All the fundamentals, in our judgment remain favorable to a legi-l innate rise in values. and temporary interruptions to the upward tendency should be availed of, in the absence of accident to makA conservative pun

 Feet 10 Inches.
 Berlin. July 12.-The present un- holy fashions in women's attire de- nounced by the Vatican organ. the Osservatore Romano. are responsible for a remarkable divorce just granted by the courts of Silesia. On the rep resentation of the husband that his wife had become intolerably thin in modish dress. a decred of divorce has been awarded to a Silesian Judge. and the respondent has been declared guilty in, the eyes of the law.
 The petitioner declared that when he married her his wife was naturally of good figure. but this year she suddenly decided that she must be thinner to keep space with the fashions. She began therefore a strenuous cure which reduced her by thirty-one horseback three hours each morning played tennis two hours. took several daily walks lasting an hour each. and ate like a bird. Her habitual rosy com plexion gradually changed to a chronic paleness under this regimen. She dwindled away until her weight, though she was feet 10 inches in height. was only nine and half stone, (133 pounds.)
 She attained her ambition. however, and could wear a really fashionable gown. When the Judge forbade his wife to continue fading away, she de- fed him.
 In the divorce proceedings the Judge contended that his wife had deceived her husband because he had bargafned to marry a lady of natural ample pro- portions. Had she been M1 it would have been his duty to watch her grow thin uncomplainingly. but as she sac rified herself merely in response to the dictates of a mad fashion he claimed the right to be rid of her. After a fiery attack on the current barbaric styles by the Judges counsel, the df- vorce was granted.
