Flioht of Seeds

It Is popularly believed that winged seeds from trees travel to great dis- tances on the wind, but the inyesti- gations of a British scientist who has spent much time at Singapore. indi- cate that winged seeds have a far narrower range of flight than have powder" seeds and plumed seeds The greatest distance travelled by the winged seeds of forest tree observed by this authority was 100 yards. Under the most favorable circumstances. he calculates. it would take this plant just 100 years to spread 500 yards and 100000 years to spread from the Malay Peninsula to the Philip. pines if land connection existed--- Scientific American.

Memorial Day Notes.


Jason Damuth Post No. 80, Dept. Md,
G. A. r. are to be congratulated for the
manifested interest and great success OF
Memorial Services last Saturday. To
the fraternal orders, the l. O. o. F., the
X. of P, the Jr. o.. U. A. NJ, the
Guardian Hose Co., to the ladies and
gentlemen who tenderly secured the
profusion of flowers, to the dear children,
and, indeed, to the citizens of ThurmOnt
and vicinity generally who gave their
presence and encouragement, they are
indebted and gratefully thank each and
all who, with them, were permitted to
observe such tender, sacred and import
ant services. 1t was great day in
Thurmont and may that interest never
wane, but ever be properly observed.
Capt. j. E. Heffner, of Washington,
D. c., a native of Thurmont and who
was one of the "boys" of Co. D. 9Th Md
Vol. 9Th Corps, tenderly and kindly re-
membered us and the comrades especial
ly those whose dust sleeps in unknown
graves" somewhere in the sunny south,
by cash contribution for flowers, ac-
comparing brief and kind letter to the
G. A. X. Post as follows:
Washington, d. c., May oath.
Col. John r. Rouzer:
Dear Sir-I see by the paper
that your Decoration Services will be on
May 27th enclose $500; please get
flowers for our comrades who were killed
in battle and buried in unknown graves.
If could would like to be with the
boys. Hope you have good day for the
exercises Yours respectfully,
CAPT. j. E. HEFENER.
The G. A. R. Post of this place, Col.
J. r. Rouzer commander, were invited
and attended Memorial Service held un-
der the auspices of the Jr. o. U. A. M.
of Creagerstown last Saturday afternoon
where they participated in the interest
ing and impressive services, which were
largely attended. They had invitations
to attend Memorial Services at Emmits-
burg and at Rock Hill.
Whilst tenderly strewing the fragrant
flowers upon the green mounds of our
comrades and loved ones last Saturday,
] searched for, found and laid bouquet
of flowers on the silent grave of COM
rade sharing in the march in the battle
and in the camp with me almost forty
seven years ago, which truth then and
there impressed me that time flying so
rapidly is hurrying us on toward the
eternal camping gaound. How real, how
serious, how important is our journey
from the "cradle to the grave.
The County Convention of the W. G..
T. U. which will be held in the Lutheran
church today, morning, afternoon and
evening sessions should be we'll attended.
Be sure to be there.

And now, Mr.. Editor, for fear my

Despite the fact that the Nc
Namara brothers are sentenced,
Los Angeles is even mere excited
over their case than at any time
since the Times was blown up.
The sweeping victory yesterday
of the united forces of the old
line political machines, the liquor
interests and the so-called good
government interests over the So
cialist-labor candidates has accen-
tuated the feeling that the result
was a bargain, pure and simple,
the McNamaras being traded for
control of the city.
Stop Bribery Trial?
Interest centered today in the
bribery charges. 1t is charged
that part of the bargain was that
the charges were to be dropped,
that Franklin shall plead guilty
only to a misdemeanor.
Fredericks says: Nothing of
the sort"
Darrow refuses to talk at all.
But there seems little doubt
that the men who traded the Nc
Namaras for the city election can
and will end all bribery proceed
ings IL they think best.
Expect New Sensations.
The federal probe promises to
overshadow even the Mcnamara
cases.
When the federal grand jury
meets tomorrow Ortie McManigal,
self-confessed dynamiter,A will tell
his story. The Burns detectives
say it will be a chronological story
of travel from one side of the
country to the other, leaving a
trail OF explosions. .
Meanwhile 500 secret service
men have been placed at the dis
posal of Oscar Lawler, In charge
of the probe here.
After Labor Chiefs.
Names of international chiefs
were freely banded about today,
and 1t was prophesied that some
will be under indictment within
a week.
This will reopen the whole con-
troversy whether labor chiefs
have advocated and condoned vio-
Ience. 1t is charged that the big
business interests of the country
plan to take advantage of the situ-
alton and break up the American
Federation of Labor.
j. b. Can't Testify.
James B. Mcnamara having ac-
knowledged an Infamous crime.
cannot be qualified as a witness
before the federal grand jury.
There is grave doubt whether John
J.'s testimony either would be
legal. If called, John J. McNa-
mara can refuse to talk. He could
laugh at punishment for contempt.

PACKERS 60
ON TRIAL
(By United Press Leased Wire

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
CHICAGO, Bee. 6.-Brought to
book after a hunt of mere than
seven years, ]. Ogden Armour and
nine other Chicago packers were
placed on trial here today before
United States District Judge Car
pentsr on charges which may land
them behind the bars Of a federal
prison for criminal conspiracy and
violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Judge Carpenters court was
jammed to the doors when the
rich packers, who had SO long
'evaded the law, were at last in
their corner.
They pleaded not guilty. $780,.
Before the court opened 1t was
reported that the packers would
plead nolo contendere, and threw
themselves on the mercy of the
court. This proved unfounded,
and when Judge Carpenter took
the bench the final battle OF the
long drawn out struggle began.
When the formality of the pleas
of mot guilty" by the packers
was finished, the examination of
veniremen in the. case was began
at once.
Each side has 80 peremptories
in the selection of the jury.
