HON. IL. REILLY IS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER FOR ELkS' FLAG DAY Congressman to Hurry Back to Washington to Captain Demo- cratic Congressional Ball
 Nine

Congressman Thomas l.. Reilly of Meriden passed through this city this afternoon en route for New Haven, making a flying trip to the Elm City where tonight he will deliver the prin- cipal address at the flag day exer- cises of the New Haven lodge of Elks. Immediately after the address Con- gressman Reilly will hurry back to Washington in order to be on hand tomorrow when the great Congres- sional baseball game will be held. This game will be between teams rep resenting the Democratic and Repub- lican members of Congress.
 Congressman Reilly is manager and captain of the Democratic outfit, and if the Democratic nine fails to bring home the bacon it won't be because of any shortcomings on the part of their manager.
 Tom Reilly is known to baseball fans of a few years ago as one of the most successful managers of his time. It was under his skillful supervision

The large Waterous gasoline engine was given an official test yesterday afternoon and acquitted itself in spIen- did fashion considering the conditions under which i; worked. So far as the speed and road tests were concerned the big machine made a showing that was beyond the expectation of all It was sent up the Courtland street hill and found to be in perfect working order and reliable. Then the machine was given a speed test on Noble ave-, which demonstrated the rapidfty with which it can be sent over the ground. The speedometer showed 3S miles an hour.
 In the pumping test the engine fell below the specifications but this was wholly due to the conditions under which it was tried out. The water in the harbor was something like 16 feet below the dock and the engine found it rather hard to lift it's supply for the hose SH that distance The specified tions call for a test lift of ten feet at the most.

CURE AT L0URDES
 HAS BEEN VERIFIED
YOUNG GIRL PARALYTIC FOR YEARS PREPARING FOR
 FETE.
NEW YORK MAN TELLS OF RE. SUIT OF HIS INVESTIGA-
 TION

Especial Cable Despatch to The New
 York Sun.
 London, June 14.-A special cor respondent of The Sun visited Miss Margaret .Stabler to-day at her home in Northumberland and concludes af- ter a close investigation, that there is no doubt whatever that her recovery from paralysis, from which she had long suffered and for which she vis- ited the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, is genuine.
 Miss Stabler, who went to Lourdes with the other English pilgrims a week or so ago, continues to improve and gain in strength daily. When The Sun man visited the house Miss Stabler, who had been suffering from paralysis for some time, was eagerly preparing for a visit to a forthcom- ing fete at COwpen, a neighboring vil- lage.
 Miss ,Stabler was 21 years old on June 8. She spent her two preced- ing birthdays in bed. When she un- dertook the journey to Lourdes at the beginning of the present month at the instance of the Catholic Women's League and some personal friends she reclined in an ambulance stretcher and was practically dead from her waist to her feet. Her left arm was also palsied.i She had fits of insom- mia and periodical loss of speech with attacks of paralysis and pains in the back from which she was greatly ex- hausted.
 "I attribute my cure to our blessed Lady of Lourdes,'' she told The Sun reporter, who's watched her doing some embroidery. She afterward stood up to have her photograph ta- ken. Dr.. Fothergill, her physician declared his belief that her cure was permanent and the Rev. Father Ker- Ch Vuh hnr n yr1, her whole illness, be1ievess her recov- cry is due to a. Nsupernatura1 agency.

higher than that it is doing wonderful work. The harbor was at low tide and the water was tick and sluggish with dirt so that the machines true worth was not shown up. Even with this handicap the machine threw 76S gallons of water. In the forenoon when the water in the harbOr was higher the machine made BIO gallons of water per minute.
 The test was witnessed by officials from New Haven. Hartford, Water bury, New, York, Paterson. N. J. and other cities. The local fire commits sioners were on hand with Mayor Will son and many members of the fire department and the city government.

which has led to the assumption that
the apple alone was concerned in the

from the elm to the apple and the
knowledge that the elm generations are

for 1911 on two-y ear-old nursery stock
based on observations made at three
nurseries containing respectively about

that from 20 percent to 20 percent OF

Which are passed in what is known as
the aelm leaf curl The dlsfgured
and curled leaves of the elm in the
spring are everywhere as familiar as
the woolly masses on the apple bark,
but the elm generations have not pre-
Yiously been known to have any con-
nection with the apple pest and it has
all along borne d distinct name.
1t is a fact familiar to students of
this family of insects that certain
aphids live for few generations (usu-
ally wingless) upon one food plant and
then produce n winged generation that
migrates to an entirely different spe-
cies of plant for the summer where il
establishes a series of summer genera
tions and by fall produces a second
migrant generation that flies back to
the original food plant. 1t is here
