While | am not much on getting
into print, especially with my com
petitors, but when a man issues a
circular letter to the fruit growers
and calls every one silly that don't t
agree with him. he must naturally
expect that some one will take ex-
ceptions to the statements he makes.
Those statements of course, do not
prove anything. ! have made the
statements time and again and stand
ready to prove them that there is a
limit to how far you can go with the
SCOT and grease on your trees with
out injuring them.
Why don't Mr. Hamilton, while he
is quoting authority, tell the grow
ers what the government report says
about the SCOT on the trees at this
particular time of the year?
Article Z. page 81, in Farmers
Bulletin No. 104, u s. Department
of Agriculture, notes on frost by Mr.
E. B. Garriott, professor of meteor
ology. reads as follows:
Our conclusion is that all
things considered the coal bas-
kets sufficiently numerous will
prove the most satisfactory and
effective means of warming the
orchards yet made use of. II is
true the oil pots make far
hotter fire and are neither ex-
pensive or difficult to manage.
but the deposit of lamp black
upon the trees and fruit result
ing from their use condemns
this system for general use.
And you, Mr.. Hamilton. presume
to call this statement of Professor
Il. B. CARROTS, silly talk for the
purpose of deceiying the fruit grow
ers, do you.
Now as to Prof. Smiths and Prof
Whites letters which you publish, do
they prove the position you take?
Certainly not. Prof. White says:
do not think there would be any
question of injury when ordinary ma
terials are used.
And Prof. Smith says: have
never heard of any trouble from
either substance In this state.
And again Mr.. Hamilton, in your
letter you speak of what your COM

R|OGRANDE MUST
RETURN OVER
CHARGE

Carl Nollenberger, a Leadyille wine
and beer jobber, filed suit in the fed
eral court yesterday against the Rio
Grande railroad for S2,327.51, which
sum he claims was awarded him by
the interstate commerce commission
on April ., 1909, but which the rail-
road has failed to pay. The suit is
the outgrowth of the long standing
controversy between the Leadville
liquor jobbers and the railroads over
the rates that shall be charged on
beer shipped from ST. Louis.
The complaint asserts that the rate
of 80 cents hundred pounds charg-
ed by the Rio Grande and Missouri
Pacific on st. Louis beer billed to
Leadville through Pueblo is an ex-
cessive joint rate. The rate for the
923 haul from st. Louis to Pueblo
was 40 cents, and the rate charged
by the Rio Grande for the 16O-mile
haul from Pueblo to Leadville was
also 40 cents, according to the COM
plant.
This and similar cases have been
contested before the interstate com
merce commission and that body has
ordered that joint rate of rs cents
be made by the two roads, As cents
for the Missouri Pacific and 80 cents
for the Rio Grande. The latter road
was also ordered to compensate the
liquor jobbers for the alleged ex-
cessive rates charged. The road has
failed to do this and the suit filed
yesterday will probably cause the
whole question to be gone over again
by the federal courts-Denver Re
publican.

to prevent the blocking of the South
Street crossing at Elizabeth Street,
Agent Creamer requested the superin-

KILLED NEGRO
ON PORCH ROOF
Intruder About to Jump When
CeCiItOn Man Sends Ball
Into Him
DEAD MAN HAD
SERVED PRISON TERM

ELKTON, Md, Aug. 29.-Hearing
q noise on the porch roof shortly af-
ter she went upstairs Saturday night
to get ready to retire, Miss Martha
Cannan. popular young school teach
er of Cecilton, this county, quietly
walked to the window, peeped out
and noticed the form of a man on the
porch roof. She hurriedly ran to the
next room, where her father Alfred
Cannan, was sleeping, and told what
she had noticed. On four previous
occasions the Cannan family had been
annoyed by some one climbing to their
porch roof and they had prepared for
the would-be intruder should he re-
turn.
Mr.. Cannon, therefore, hurriedly
jumped from his bed, grabbed his re-
volYer. hoisted the window and fired
at the form Of a man, who was about
TO jump to the ground. The intruder
fell got up and started to run, but he
only got a short distance when he
fell over dead. Noticing the man fall
the members of the Cannon family
made an investigation and found that
the man was James Price, a negro,
who had recently been released from
the Maryland Penitentiary, where he
had served ten years for breaking into
the residence Of Mrs. Sarah Simon, OF
Elkton, and attempting to assault
her.
Sheriff J. Wesley McAllister, of this
town. was notified, and, accompanied
by States Attorney Albert Constable,
drove to Cecilton. Mr. Cannan sur
rendered to the officials. but was re-
/ leased on his own recognizance for
the action of the September grand
jury.
The Cannan family had been fire.
quently annoyed during the past few
weeks by someone trying to get into
their home and Mr.. Cannan came to
Elkton and consulted States Attorney
Constable about what action he should
take should the intruder again at
tempt to get into his home He told
the prosecutor that he proposed to
protect his family and would shoot il
he saw another man on his porch roof
at night.
Price is said to have had a bad repu-
tation, and previous to being arrested
here for attempting to assault Mrs.
Simon he was suspected of having
attempted to get into the homes of
several other residents of Elkton. The
ball fired by Mr.. Cannan struck him
just below the heart. Price was about
40 years of age. Coroner ]. f. Fra
ger, of Elkton, Will go to Cecilton and
hold an inquest, and it is probable
that Mr.. Cannan will be exonerated
by the jury. During the past few
months other residents of Cecilton
have been annoyed by having their
homes entered and by peeping Tom,
and it is believed the negro killed last
night was the guilty party.
