PARK FIRE STARTS PANIC,
Flames Spread Over Summer Resort
in Columbus.

Columbus. Ohio. - Seven build
ings which housed places of amuse-
ment were destroyed and probably
1000 persons were thrown into a panic
by a fire in Olentangy Park, a sum-
mer resort. The fire-swept district
extended I've an area about the size
of a city block. The park is located
at the extreme north end of the city.
Several persons were injured in the
panic, but no fatalities resulted. De-
fective wiring in one of the buildings
was the cause. the inflammabIe mate
rial feeding the flames and causing
them to spread with great rapidity.
Only a few persons were in any of
the places when the fire started and
all of these, it was declared, were ac-
counted for. No estimate of the fire
loss could be obtained, but it was
said property was uninsured.

END CHURCH RIOT
SEVERAL HUNDRED HUNGAEIANs
SEVERELY BEATEN IN RIOT.
Trouble Follows Appointment Of cler
gyman Over the Protests
Of Pensioners.

South Bend, Indiana. - Trouble
which has been brewing during the
last seven weeks eliminated when a
mob of from 1000 to 1900 men and
women made an attempt to prevent
Rev. Paul Won Kovacs, late of New
York, from celebrating high mass at
st. Stephens Hungarian Catholic
church.
The priest escaped injury only
through the foresight of Chief of De-
tectives William Cassidy in station
ing a squad of 50 policemen in the
vicinity OF the church, the officers
charging the crowd with drawn clubs
the moment the rush for the clergy.
man was made. The result was a riot
in which from $50 to 800 Hungarians
were severely beaten.
AS soon as the police succeeded in
arresting the ringleaders and sending
them to the central station in the pa
troll, the rioters dispersed. The trio
under arrest are John Mesler, age
38; Louis Mesler, "a; Gyze Kulchar,
80. The riot followed the appoint
ment of Father Kovacs as priest of
the church over the protests of the
parish, a report having reached here
in which it a alleged he was i'm
moral.
The riot was the second to occur
within the precincts of the parish in n
week. the police having been rushed
to the church last Tuesday night 10
prevent Father Kovacs from being
mobbed. AS a result it is likely that
st. Stephens church will be closed
indefinitely.
The turmoil in st. Stephens parish
began nearly three months ago when
the worshippers of the church made
serious charges against Rev. John Won
and requested his removal.
Alerding investigated, with the |
result that the priest was exonerated.
The congregation, however, refused to
accept the bishops verdict and finally
Sunday, May %, refused to allow
Froelich entrance to the
church.

DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY.
Chief of Bureau of Chemistry.

perform only such service as this
salary would compensate for at the
rate of $40 per day for laboratory
Investigations and $50 per day for at,
tendance in court.
Attorney General Wickersham held
that the law permitted the payment
OF only 50 per day, this sum later be-
ing increased to $11 a day. Along
with the suggestion that DR.. Wiley,
because of these alleged irregularities
in the employment of DR.. Rushby, be
permitted an opportunity to resign,
the committee on personnel and the
attorney general have recommended
the dismissal of DR.. Rusby and the
reduction of DR.. l.. F. Kohler, chief
OF the division of drugs of the de-
partment of agriculture. The commit
tee further recommends that DR.. w.
ID. Bigelow, assistant chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry, also be given an op-
%portunity to resign.
President Taft, it was learned later,
has forwarded all of the papers in
the case to DR.. Wiley and will take
no action until he receives a personal
statement from him. 1t is known that
the president has the highest regard
for the pure food expert and for his
administration of the bureau of chem.
istry.
DR.. Wiley has been attacked almost
constantly since the pure food law
went into effect. 1t has been claimed
by the interests affected that DR.. Wi.
ley's rulings have been unduly harsh
and unjust. DR.. Wiley has regarded
DIR. Rusby as n of his most valuable
assistants in the difficult task of en-
forcing the pure food and drug act.
The charges made against DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, of the bureau of chem.
istry, Were taken up by the house
committee on expenditures in the de.
partment OF agriculture.

INCREASE IN YIELD OF CORN
Interesting Experiments Conducted by
Ohio Experiment Station With
Use of Manure.

"At the Ohio state experiment sta.
tion," says Director Charles A.
Thorne, I'VE for five years conducted
an experiment in the use of COW
manure in the production of corn,
wheat and clover grown in rotation.
"The result of this test is that In
the five year average we have pro
duced an increase of about two bush.
els of corn, two-thirds Of bushel OF
wheat and about 60 pounds of clover
hay for each ton Of manure, when the
manure has been taken from an ordi
nary open barn yard.
"The total increase was worth
$1.50 II we value corn at one-third OF
a dollar per bushel, wheat at two
thirds Of dollar, clover hay at one
third Of dollar per 100 pounds, corn
stover at SO per ton and straw at 81.
when, however, we leave this man
ure in the stable to be trampled un
der foot till ready for use the increase
has been worth $3.50 per ton Of man
ure; and when to this straw manure
we have added as made about 4C
pounds Of phosphate rock to each tor
of manure for the purpose not only oi
preventing the escape of ammonia but
of reinforcing the manure with phos
phoric acid we have realized tota
value Of 1925 per ton of manure, aft
er paying for the phosphate used.
