More Charges Against Morraw

W. s. Morrow's troubles seem to be
growing. A recent batch of informa-
tlons lodged against him at Lamar
contained the the following charges:
@. w, Cook had deposit in the bank
amounting to $780, 81 In December,
1907, the bank examiner charges that
Mr.. Morrow made false entries to the
extent Of two thousand dollars, reduce
ing this account upon the books to
1862 81, and fraudulently conve rting the
above mentioned two thousand dollars
to bis own use.
In July 1907, 1t is charged that the
defendent made fraudulent entries
against the deposit Of G. w. Miller to the
amount Of eleven hundred dollars fraud.

rs.
Upon March 9th, 1909, the defendant

ppsit in the bank at the time he drew
these checks the examiner declares,
was about sixty-seven dollars. Upon

Joplin asking that he be thrown into
involuntary bankruptcy. The total am
cunt of his defalcations is estimated
at $4,000.

the old man The was in his 10th year,
probably fell a victim to his own gloomy
reflections and decided to end the mat

the poison he lay down near the court
house, where he was found in desperate
condition alittle later by Officer Brum-
NETT. He soon became unconscious, and
did not show evidence OF returning CON
seriousness until nearly noon Friday,
after City Physician Webster and pbysi-
clans at the hospital had worked un-
ceasingly through the night aud morn
ing with him. He was too far gone,
however, to save, and died, as stated,
at 2 O'Clock. ~# -
Hall was at one time a merchant at
Lamar He had only recently returned

been living for some years.
The bottle from which he drank the
laudanum bore the label of Sheldon
merchant. which leads to the inference
that he had been considering self de.
struction when he went to Carthage.

SHOWS PROFIT IN
BREEDING PLANTS
Prof. George Shaw Says Dollar
Expenditure Would Make a
Gain of S1OO to Farmer

BERKELEY, May 4.-"For every
dollar spent in plant Improvement in
California a gain of 800 would result"
said Prof. George Shaw. head of the
department of agricultural technology,
IN the course of an interesting lecture
IN the chronological building on the
campus last night on The Possibili-
ties of Plant Improvement in Cali
fornia.''
DR.. Shaw, who is an authority on
cereals, added that the annual value
OF the California crops would be in
creased from $4,000, 900 to $S2.5oO, 900
by improvements in plant propagation
and breeding at an expense of $780,
600. This neglected science, he said.
was of as great Importance to the
industries of the United States as the
development of mechanical appliances.
He said in part:
That the FIVE or six billions of
dollars worth of plant and animal
products annually grown in the United
states can be increased 10 per cent by
selection and breeding is not seriously
doubted by those best able to Judge.
Perhaps the most noted example
OF improvement in quality is fur
nished by the sugar beet, which
through continued and persistent
selection and scientific grooming
mas gradually developed to
dellcate. high grade, pedigreed
root, frequently under our favora-
bic climate carrying 90 per cent
or more of sugar. this development
having been accomplished from a 4
per cent original basis.
california annually produces field
crops capable of being improved by
breeding which are now worth s75.-
ooV.ooO. and the area is annually being
increased To increase the value by
breeding to sS2.500.000 without other
addltlonal expense. it would certainly
pay to use $75OOO0.

being perhaps the sneppiest vaudeville
show that has dazzled the devotees of
modern variety entertainment since
the memorable engag cement of the Or

are enough stars on the program this
week TO fit out half dozen ordinary
vaudeville bills.
Frank Fogarty is the feature of the
show. For rapid fire humor Fogarty
runs away with the honors.
They say he is star in Broadway
and that his name is a household word
in New York. All of that may be
true, but in Oakland he is a stranger
or rather was a stranger until Sunday
Now he has added Oakland to the
cities that acclaim him as the king

Over SIO,OOO,OOO Annually Is
Spent for Screens, Paper and
Other Anti-Insect Devices

BERKELEY, May 4.-In the course
of his lecture tonight on The House
Fly; It's History. Habits and Control
Prof w. B. Herms of the department OF
entomology of the university. who mas
charge of the campaign against the
fly here. declared that more than SlV'-
O0O. 900 was spent annually for fly pa
per and other methods of controlling
and eliminating the insect, which could
be eradicated by more direct means
His lecture in the rooms of the cham
Der of commerce of this city was well
attended.
After describing the various species
of common house fly and it's life his
tory from the pupa to the full grown
stage, Professor Herms said that the
covering of piles of refuse which were
generally left uncovered would mean
the elimination of the fly
CARE OF LIVERY STABLES
He said: Chief of all methods is to
place horse manures and other refuse
in garbage cans. which should be kept
closed TO prevent the ingress or egress
of flies. There is no reason why this
method should not be readily applied
IN the case or livery stables Wnere
many horses are kept. Livery stables
in Washington. d. c.. have accom-
pIished this successfully.
Where manure is not scattered thin
~ over the ground to cause drying out,
and is already accumulated and breed
ing flies, it must be treated with an
insecticide. A disinfecting insecticide
must also be used in situations where
flies are now found in the adult stage.
HEAVY ANNUAL COST
More than 100000 is expended
annually for fly screens, not TO men
tion traps and fly paper. Each family
expends annually a sum. of money
which, if spent in directly controlling
the fly nuisance by the methods here
proposed, would not only spare much
discomfort and disease, but would re-
suit in the saving of this money in
after years. 1t is quite essential in
this campaign that the citizens of Ber-
kelley contribute financially toward the
purchase of proper insecticides and ap-
paratus and for its proper application
by an expert. 1 would suggest that
this be done by subscription. If 200
individuals will contribute 81 per
month for a period of two months this
can be largely accomplished
