to Foreign Waters.

Plans for the cruise of the United

ranean next fall soon will be mapped
out by Rear Admiral Richard Vain
wright, aid for naval operations; Rear
Admiral Reginald f. Nicholson, chief
Of the bureau of navigation, and Rear
Admiral William P Potter, aid for ma
val personnel. The fleet, it is expect
ed, will leave Hampton Roads next
November. Only battle ships, it is re-
ported, will make the cruise, and the
plan is to divide the fleet into four
squadrons after it reaches Eastern
waters, each squadron to visit Medit-
erranean ports separately. According
to present plans, the ships to make
the cruise will be the Connecticut,
Kansas, Louisiana and Vermont, COM
prising the first division; the Minna-
sofa, Idaho, Mississippi and New

gia, Nebraska, New Jersey and Rhode

No "seyen5een-year locusts" will ap-
pear II Wisconsin this year, accord
ing TO Prof J. c. Sanders, entomologist
for the University Of Wisconsin Col
lege OF Agriculture, II response to
numerous inquiries from anxious fruit
growers. In 1915, Prof Sanders says a
scattering brood will appear through.
out the state, and again in 1919 few
OF these insects viii be seen. In 1922
a numerous brood may be expected
in the southern part of the state, and
another scattering brood in 1928.
Fruit growers need not be apprehen-
siYe Of serious damage from these in
sects, however, before 1922 It is gen
orally known among fruit growers
that considerable damage may be
caused by the female cicaGa in cut
ting young branches and twigs of
trees when laying eggs. It is not
advisable, for this reason, to plant
a young orchard within a year or
two previous to the appearance of a
large brood. Among fruit trees the
apple and pear, and among forest trees
the oak and hickory are most severely
attacked by the locusts.

TELL OF SAYLER KILLING.
Witnesses Swear DR.. Miller Shot
When Attacked with Ratchet.

When Attacked with Ratchet.
John C. Grunden, essquaw man from
the Chickasaw nation and co-defendant
in the John B. Sayler murder trial in
Watseka, H., with his daughter, Say
ler's widow, and her alleged affinity
Dr.. William R. Miller, surprised the
prosecution by taking the witness
stand. The version of what occurred
as related by Grunden differed in no
essential from the story of Mrs. Sayler
or from that of Dr. Miller. He de-
clared Sayler attacked Dr. Miller with
a Ratchet, threatening to kill the ply
sician, and that the latter shot the
banker in self-defense.
He came at me like a mailman,
brandishing hand-ax I shot in self
defense" In these words Dr. W. R.
Miller told his version of the killing.
In brief, the witness said that Sayler,
who had refused to join the three de-
PENDANTS in game of cards, rushed
into the little parlor, seized d hand-ax
from beneath a couch, struck at him,
overturned the lamp, and then in dark
ness grappled in death struggle
which ended only when four bullets
had pierced the attackers frame. Not
hint was given by the witness of the
motive which prompted what he said
was a savage attack on him.
Mrs. Lucy Sayler also took the wit
ness stand in defense of herself and
her co-defendants, DR.. w R. Miller and
John Grunden. Revelations concerning
the financial straits of her husband
were made by Mrs. Sayler. She recited
the. details of the night of the shoot
ing, but insisted that she had left the
rooms and gone across the street be-
fore any shots were fired.

Judge Rules That yyading in Stream
Is Not Trespassing.
Judge Higbee, of Sparta, has decid-
ed the fish" case of Reed against
Van Antwerp by rendering a verdict
against Van Antwerp of 1 cent for
damages for trespass, without costs.
In effect, he held a fisherman had no
right to trespass on a farmers land,
but also that the streams of the state,
and the fish, belong to the public, and
that people have the right to navigate
the streams and either fish from
from boats or by wading, without be
ing liable for trespass so long as they
keep off the banks of the streams.
Also that the farmer has no title to
the water or the fish, his rights in
the stream being subject to public
usage
