The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-06-30

We are now getting intelligence
that will add to the charm Of farming
and gardening and magnify the ideals
of the city fellow who dreams of the
delicious flavor Of rural life. It has
been discovered, through experiments
in Scotland, that the application of
electricity to a garden bed will make
the lettuce, the cucumbers, the peas,
the tomatoes, the beets, etc, grow fu-
riously and increase the yield from 20
to 100 per cent. The time for the
things to come up, after the seed is
put in the ground, is reduced at least
one-half. The application Of the cleo
tricity can be done by putting some
electric lights over the bed or dis
charging high-tension electricity from
system of overhead wires. There
is scientific reason for this sort OF
horticulture. Electricity is a powerful
and permeaung fluid, and it is partic-
ularly effective in promoting plant
life.

In New York it has been made an
offense for a driven of a motor We
hicle to speed away after an accident,
and if he is caught the penalty is so
much the heavier It is so compara-
lively easy for an offending motor
driver to escape BY speeding that ev.
cry risk to his doing so should be put
in his way. This speeding in city
streets is getting to be one of the
most serious menaces of urban life.
More than one valuable life have been
sacrificed to it, and what power there
is in law and the laws enforcement
to stop it should be done.

Seeking a StingIess Bee

Prof. Burton N. Gates, state in
spector of apiaries, who is in charge
of the work, thinks that the first step
in solving the problem has been ac-
complished with the importation Of
specimens of bee found in the Rus
sian Caucasus.
This type of bee," he says, "1s re-
markable for its gentleness. It is not
ideal in some other directions, but

PARLIAMENT TO
 WORK ON VETO BILL

London, February 1e.-In the house to- day, after a long debate, Premier As- ouith's motion aprropriating the whole time of the house until Easter to tho veto bill in order to get in through before the coronation. was carried under cloture. 1se to 11s.
 During the debate the prime minister. said he expected the veto bill would be sent to the house of lords early in May and that the lords would give their de. cisfon thereon before the coronation. This optimism on the part of MT. Asqulth is interpreted in some quarters as indicating the possibility of a compromise being arr rived at, as it is contended that otherwise it would be vain to hope that the bill could be disposed of so quickly. Thus far however. the unonists gave no sign of relenting.

 "I cannot talk. ] leave the fate or myself and relatives to your minds and your hearts,"
 Pantchenko. in an incoherent speech, said that he did not repudiate his con fession, but wished to specify the de- gree of his guilt. He said that the question was whether Russian .physi- clan was capable of such dastardly crime, and to this proudly answered no. Petropavlovsky, he declared. wishing fame, was the author of the poisoning story and that a newspaper helped him.
 "De Lassy did exhort me to poison Bouturlin," continued Pantchenko, and thinking that had accidentally poi soned him told the magistrate so. But this confession seemed too iittle for him. He continually drummed into my ears, Confess. confess and suggest ed various poisons. Finally. in weak moment. I told myself that if the truth doesn't serve then I will lie l men tioned toxin.

RUSSIANS FOUND GUILTY 0F MURDER Hen Guilty of Poisoning Count But Woman Is
 Innocent
Petersburg. February

<, St. Petersburg. February 1S.-The sensational trial of Count Patrick O'Brien de Lassy, Dr. Pantchenko and Mime. Muravieff. charged with the mur- der of Count vassilli Bouturlin. came to an end tonight when q verdict of guilty was returned by the jury in the case of de Lassy and Pantchenko and not guilty in the case of the woman. De Lassy was sentenced to penal servi- tude for life and Pantchenko to 15 years imprisonment. The jury noted extenuating circumstances in Pantchen- kos favor. which accounts for the lighte punishment meted out to him.
 The trial aroused enormous interest and developed some startling testimony, Prior to the beginning of the proceed inxs Pantchenko made a confession in which he accused de Lassy or hiring him to poison Count Vassilli. who was heir to General Bouturlin. and the re- rnoval of vassilli would naturally mean that the generals great estate would go to his daughter.
 On the witness stand Pantchenko de- nied the confession and made so many cratic statements that he came to be thought practically Insane. Much evi- dence was adduced. however. to show

 In speaking of his resolution Mr Ben nett insisted that he was both serious and sincere. He declared that to his mind anxiety was the logical result to be looked for following reciprocity.
 MT. Bennett declared the reciprocity measure passed by the House was not equitable and would not please the ma jority of the people. For instance, he said, it placed wheat on the free list, but kept duty on flour; it put cattle on the free list, but maintained duty on meat and meat products
 MT. Bennett, who is from New York city. asserted that city people wanted benefits from finished products. He in sisted he would ask for consideration of his resolution by the committee on for eign affairs, of which he is a member.
