the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made liberal al.

The mans dislike of women In gen.

He took the finished garment without

of one out Of three picked being saved

about one-fourth Of the total fruit. or
one-third Of the fruit actually picked
is saved as perfect fruit by spraying.
This is shown graphically in the &C

TAGGART
SUPPORTS
MARSHALL
PREDICTS VICTORY IN INDIANA
THIS FALL AND THAT KEARNS
WILL BEAT BEVERIDGE FOR
SENATORSHIP.

Washington, May 23.-Pledging
support to Governor Thomas r. Mar
shal, of indiana, for the Democratic
presidential nomination In 1912
Thomas Taggart, former chairman Of
the National Democratic Committee
today discussed the political situation
of Indiana. Taggart predicted that
John w. Kearn, vice-presidential can,
didate with Bryan two years ago, and
endorsed by the Indiana Democrats
for the senate, will defeat Senator
Albert J. Beyeridge (Rep).
Taggart's declaration that he would
support Marshall has caused consid.
erable comment among the politi'
clans here. 1t has been believed thas
Taggart would be found in the ranks
of the Harmon boomers, when the
time for the nomination approached
Some of the politicians here seem
inclined to adhere to this view in
spite of Taggart's statement.
Taggart and Marshall clashed at
the recent Democratic convention at
Indianapolis, an dMarshall was vic
torious. Taggart intimates that ne
rancor fingers and that he will be ono
of the leaders in the fight to secure
the nomination for Marshall tive
years hence.
Taggarts prediction that the Dem
ocrats would carry Indiana in the
coming elections has caused the poll
ticians to turn to the Indiana situ@
tion again, and Indiana politics are
being discussed In all quarters to-
day.

Berkeley, Calf, May 23.-De-
spite the fact that the earth missed
the tail of the comet unless it really
did bore a hole through it, and that
is fact scientific men will not set
tie for many a long day, the astron-
omers have taken down their calcu-
lus again and given out brand new
set of comet figures. Here is the
schedule for tonight as nearly as it
can be figured out by professors not
personally acquainted with the chat
feur of Mr.. Halley's sky joyrider:
At 7:46 p. M, Pacific standard
time, the comet will be in the west
ern sky, six degrees north of the
star Procyon, at which time the
earth will begin its transit across
the face of the moon. The sky will
darken as the eclipse advances to to-
tality which occurs at 9;09 D. m.
The totality of the eclipse will last
so minutes. The sky win begin to
brighten at 10 p. m. and at 11:22
the earth will pass beyond the moon.
The sky will be Illuminated by
the comet during the time of tran
sit. The comet during the eclipse ID
expected to be more brilliant than at
any other time during the rest of Its
present terrestrial engagement.

Soon after her claim as put in the

been used on the scales by the sugar
company employees to make false
weight, and that when the scales
were ordered boarded in, he fur
nished the sugar checkers with small
springs which were placed under the
beam to influence the scales.
The witness declared that he bored
holes for the springs, and arranged
a system of signal lights which would
warn the checkers that they were be-
ing watched by government agents.
That reports regarding irregulari.
ties in weighing were made to "Mr
Leroy was stated by the witness
Spltzer said that he made some of
these reports. He added that he did
not know the position Leroy" held
with the sugar trust"
Spitzer then related various alleged
conversations he had with ex-Cashier
Bendernagel and with ex-Superin-
tendent Gerbracht, who are among
the defendants. He said that when
ever it was desired to raise the wages
Of the checkers it was necessary to
consult them, and that after he and
the checkers had been discharged
Grebracht met him once a week and
gave him a package containing their
weekly wages. The payments contin-
ued until February, 1910, when he
was sent to Atlanta, according to
Spitzer.
The defense, apparently taken un-
prepared by the appearance of Spit
zer on the stand, asked for an indef-
mite postponement of the cross-ex-
animation of the witness.
Splitter left the room accompanied
by Chief Finn, of the United States
secret service, who refused to allow
anyone to speak with the former SUI
perintendent. 1t was reported that
the government is prepared to prove
that the wife of Splitter and the wives
of the checkers have been receiving
their husbands salaries from the su,
gar trust since Splitter went to prison.
Splitter was pardoned recently by
the president, after he had served
several months of two-year' sen.
tence for fraud. His testimony in
volved some of the high officials OF
the trust.
Heikes attorneys were taken by
surprise, and asked an Indefinite post
ponement of cross-examination.
Splitter, when on the stand, testi
fed that he knew Heike only slight
ly. He also said that he knew of hi:
own knowledge, that the sugar com
pany used the city weigher's returns
as a basis on which to pay for raw
sugar, and that government weights
were not used in the Wall street Of
flee for any calculations Prosecutor
Stimson said that this testimony will
be used to show that Heike, as sec
retary, knew of the frauds.
