sCALY TREES CUT DOWN.
Hood River Fruit Inspector VIII
Take No Chances.

Hood River, Ore.-To rid the val
ley of the menace from the San Jose
scale, which is seriously infesting a
number of abandoned trees in vacant
lots in the western part of the city.
the county fruit inspector has been
busy this week with an AK, telling the
trees, and burning them.
The trees were not sprayed in ac-
cordance with a recently enacted city
ordinance and the state law govern
ing infested trees. They are liter
ally loaded with the tiny pests, says
Professor Lawrence, land there is
danger of the winds and birds scat
tering the scale over the whole val
ley Some of the apples that have
plucked from the trees are worthless
because of the inroads of the scale.
and there are enough of the bugs to
render unstable many dollars worth
of fruit. The trees that are net TOO
badly affected we will spray now and
later in the year. By this means we
can rid the valley entirely of the
scale

AN ENTANGLING ALLIANCE
SENATOR ASSERTS THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE
A MISTAKE.
PLAN is A MONARCHIAL One
NEBRASKAN BELIEVES 1T WILL
OVERRIDE NATIONS FIXED
POLICIES.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Charging the
administration with blundering into
an entangling alliance with Great
Britain, Senator Hitchcock of Nebras-
ka today, on the floor of the senate,
denounced the proposed arbitration
treaty with that country. He declared
that the plan to permit the president
to appoint commissioners of high
court of arbitration without the con-
sent of the senate was revolutionary
and dangerous.
The proposed treaty, he said, would
wipe out this nations time-honored
treaty making plan, and result virtu-
ally in the adoption of system prac-
ticed by monarchial powers.
Senator Hitchcock said that he was
aware the proposed treaty was de-
Tended on the ground that if the joint
high commission were entrusted with
this power, the senate could override
its decision and repudiate it's action
by refusing to consent to the terms of
arbitration

minister to Washington, Chang Yin
Tang, has decided to quit his post
here after a stay Of year and a
month. The reason for his uecision
is as yet unknown. He will leave the

submitted his resignation to his
home government, but refrained from
pressing it's acceptance until the pres

provide for the settlement of the
claims of Chinese against the Mexi-
can government growing out of the
Torreon massacre. Mr.. Chang will
return to Tien Tsin, and retire from

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS

ONE OF THE NAVY'S MOST BRIL-
LIANT HEROES DIES SUDDEN
LY IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Jan. 4.-The sudden
death of Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans late yesterday of acute indiges-
tion did not become known to most
of official Washington until today.
The news caused great shock and
many were the expressions Of sor-
row and of sympathy of the aged wife
and family of the brave old sailor
By telegraph and by mail came con
dolences.
It had happened that Lieutenant
Commander Frank T. Evans, the only
son of the deceased officer, who was
supposed to have sailed yesterday for
the West Indies on the torpedo boat
destroyer Monaghan, had been de-
tanned in Boston and consequently re.
ceived the telegram dispatched to him
last night, informing him of his faith
er's death. He reached Washington
today. Captain Marsh, who married
one OF Admiral Evans daughters, was
reached by wireless ON the battleship
Michigan but was unable to interrupt
the cruise to the West Indies and re-
turn here.
Funeral arrangements were well
advanced this morning. There will
be services at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon at All Souls Unitarian
church here which President Taft at
tends. The pail bearers win be chos
en- from among the naval officers who
had served under Admiral Evans.
The funeral cortege will be com
posed of four companies of marines
two or three companies of blue jack
cts from the Washington navy yard
one battery of artillery from the
Washington navy yard, and an entire
battalion of midshipmen from The
naval academy at Annapolis.
The interment will take place al
the Arlington National cemetery Il
place which the deceased adnlira
himself selected several years ago.

CITY JAIL IS A
LONESOME PLACE
EVEN THE NEW YEARS CELE-
BRATIoN FAILED TO BRING
IN A TENANT

According to the report of Judge
D. R. Murray, probate judge and JUS
tice of the peace of Precinct 29, the
number of arrests during the month
Of December was unusually low and of
the ten arrests made only two were
on the charge of vagrancy. Seven of
the arrests were on the charge of
drunkenness and one for fighting. 1t
would seem that with the severe
weather the city Jail would be crowd
ed to the limit of its capacity, but
evidently the "boes" have steered
clear of Las Vegas rather than serve
three months for the privilege Of sew
eral nights shelter. 1t is said that
Las Vegas is place where the buns
do not care to drop off as they are
not treated with due respect by the
citizens and the cops are keen for
placing them on the chain gang. AL
the end Of December the city cooler
was without an occupant and the
celebrations in welcoming the new
year did not add to the population
One drunk was arrested on January
2. but released on the payment of 9

NEW CLASS BASEBALL LEAGUE

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 4--Unxpected
delay was encountered atzthe meeting
of the National Baseball commission
here today when the subject Of the
revision of the national agreement,
which includes the creating of new
class of minor leagues to be known
as "AA' was taken up. Man COM
munications from National and Ameri-
can league club owners providing for
exceptions to different parts of the
proposed revision greeted Secretary
John E. Bruce of the commission. The
majority of the letters urged that all
agreements, whether optional or 9th
erwise, be allowed to stand as they
are for at least one year after revis-
ion. While it is probable that this
will be done it will require further
time, and today's session is expected
to be prolonged.

REVOLUTIONISTS REFUSE TERM
THEY PERSIST IN THEIR DETER
MiNATloN NOT TO NEooTI-
ATE BY TELEGRAPH.

Shanghai Jan. 4.-Ihe imperial
government in Peking sent orders to-
day to all the generals in command
of the imperial troops that they are
to resume hostilities at 9 o'clock in
the forenoon of January 6 unless they
receive notification in the meantime
that the armistice between the two
forces has been renewed.
This step has been taken, it is as
sumed here, as result of the refusal
of the revolutionaries to continue the
negotiations with the Peking authori-
ties by telegraph in accordance with
the demand of Premier yuan Shi Kai.
Telegraphic negotiations are regarded
by both DR.. Sun Yat Sen and WI Ting
Fang as unsatisfactory.
President Sun Vat Sen yesterday
instructed DR.. WI Ting Fang to tele-
graph to Premier Yuan Shi Kai at
Peking asking him to come to Shang-
hal and negotiate personally with the
president of the new republic. The
fact that Premier Yuan Shi Kai is
now in possession of considerable
sum of money which he received from
the empress dowager for the purpose
Of repressing the rebesion and with
which he can pay the imperial troops,

fresh confidence in his power to check
the revolution, as he is aware that
the republicans lack resources.
