Fosters Weather Bulletin
Copyrighted 1918 By ". 7. FOSTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis
turbance to cross continent July 29
to August 2, warm wave July 2S to
August 1, cool wave July 81 to Aug.
4. Cool weather will prevail during
the week; rains will fall in many
places and the storm forces will be
more than usually intense. But the
public is getting accustomed to great
storms and the newspapers do not
give them much space. The killing
of people and the destruction of mil
lions of dollars in property by the
weather forces does not occupy as
much space in our newspapers as the
same amount of destruction in Mex
leo by the forces of war. Great and
destructive storms have occurred as
predicted and we only regret that
we can not make such forecasts more
in detail.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about August 2, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 8, great cen
trail valleys to 6, eastern section Z.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about August 2, great central val
leys 4, eastern sections 6. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
August ., great central valleys Z,
eastern sections 8.
August storms will not be so Sc
we're as those of July but this storm
will be of greater than usual force,
particularly August 3, 4 and 5, about
and before the storm wave reaches
meridian 80. Rainfall will be gen.
orally short, particularly in the
southern states. Our predictions of
July rains proved good and greatly
benefited corn and spring wheat.
We expect dry August to damage
corn and cotton. Indications are
that most of the August precipitation
in great central valleys will occur
during the weeks centering on Aug.
1 and 13 and in eastern sections dur
ing the weeks centering on August
and 10. Very warm weather is
expected during the weeks centering
on August and %.
Farmers and planters should not
sell the new crops of grain and cot
ton till later. We hold that prices
will go higher. Many combinations
have operated against good prices
and those who have interests in the
new crops should not part with them
while the crops are growing.
These financial flurries have kept
prices of grain and cotton down but
those influences have spent their
force, have failed to cause a panic.
Our country is on solid basis, it's
future success assured. The effects
of these financial flurries will soon
pass and very large demand for all
products of the soil and of manu-
factories will prevail through 1914.

Interpretation of it's spirit and pur-
pose. Whilst. =. this Act of AS
sembly remains unaltered by the
Legislature, it is not to be frittered
away by judicial legislation. John
son VS.. Commonwealth supra. The
power to alter, amend or repeal it,
rests with the Legislature alone.
We conclude that in this case the
exceptant was charged with a viola
tion of the Act of April 22, 1894,
which charge was sustained by the
evidence set forth in the record that
the Justice had jurisdiction in the
premises and that the record dis
closes no reversible error.
And now, to wit: July 8, 1913, all
the exceptions to this record are dis
missed and the judgment of the JUS
tice is affirmed.

PASSING OF THE
TRAMP PRINTER.

Linotypes removed a picturesque
feature of printing office life-the
tramp printer. Not to have known
him is to have missed something of
American newspaper life, something
that has gone forever, leaving only
the memory of a peculiar, highly in
dividualized type, and a wealth of
tradition that seems almost legend
ary to the printers devils and cub
reporters of to-day.
The tramp printer was a skilled
craftsman, impelled by the wander
lust to roam throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Restless,
curious, unattached, and possessing
more than average skill in his art,
he could crafty his longing for con-
stant change of scene with the toler-
able assurance of finding work at his
trade in any place of considerable
size. Sometimes to be sure, he was
disappointed in this, but he was re-
sourceful, adventurous, and, above
all, a wanderer on the face of the
earth, so it frequently happened that
he found occupation that carried him
to the high seas and many lands.
Working as substitutes on the case

cording to their means, they drifted
about constantly and everywhere.
They came into the Union office
in the old days like the wandering
minstrels of the medieval courts,
bringing strange tales of many
places and of the manners and GUS
toms of many people. They came
fresh from whaling voyages in Hud-
sons Bay, from the lumber camps of
the northwest, from fighting Indi-
ans on the great plains. Often in
tattered clothes, always of loose
habits, yet generous, entertaining
racounteurs, and withal good work
men, there was always a place for
them in the shop, and they worked
through the night, shook EN- quads
on the composing stone in the
morning, to see who should pay
when the places opened, and in a
few days walked cheerfully out of
town, to return again in year or
two with new tales of adventure

a MOSQUITO EATER.

The accidental importation of a
large grasshopper from China in a
consignment of plants gave the en-
tomologist of the Mount Airy Nur-
sery in Philadelphia a chance to ex-
pertinent with an insect that is death
to mosquitoes and is otherwise
harmless.
This hopper is known as the Pray
ing Mantis, on account of the way
it folds its front legs, and the way
those legs gather in mosquitoes is a
caution.
These hoppers grow to five or six
inches in length and they require
several hundred mosquitoes for each
meal. They reproduce in a remark
able manner. Each nest produces
800 hoppers in season and the en-
tomologists have 200 nests at work.
These grasshoppers are held to be
more or less sacred in China, where
it is believed to be unlucky to kill
one, though the people put them in
bowls and bet on the result of the
battle that ensues.
If the hoppers spread as other
imported insects have done we
should soon be rid of our mosquitoes.

JUDGE RYAN HOLDS SUNDAY
BASEBALL UNLAWFUL
Justice Tomlinson's Judgment Af-
firmed by Court.

OuSllCC Al
firmed by Court.
Question came before his honor on
the appeal of William Rapp, who was
fined four dollars and costs for play
ing Sunday base ball in Persimmon
Park, Bristol township, Bucks coun-
ty, Pa.
Judge William G. Ryan, on July
Sth, 1918, handed down an opinion
in the Bristol Sunday base ball case,
affirming the judgment of Justice
Frederick G. Tomlison, of Langhorne,
in fining the base ball player who
was arrested.
The question involved in the con-
troversy was the lawfulness of play
ing base ball on Sunday. Judge
Ryan's opinion holds that the play
ing of the game on Sunday is vio-
lation of the Act of 1894, known as
the Sunday law.
Section of the Act of 1894 reads:
That from and after the first day of
August next, if any person shall do
or perform any worldly employment
or business whatsoever on the Lords
Day, commonly called Sunday, works
of necessity and charity only except
ed, or shall use or practice any un-
lawful game, hunting, shooting, sport
or diversion whatsoever, on the same
day, and be convicted thereof, every
such person so offending, shall for
every offense forfeit and pay four
dollars, to be levied by Distress" etc.
The Court said:
The question of the Justices jur-
isdiction here raised involves the con-
struction of the words, "or shall use

a method of locating these dangerous
storms, but we are making expert
ments based on the daily weather
records covering eighty years, and we
are encouraged with the progress, and
will begin to suggest the locations of
severe storms and heavy rains in a
general way. But our readers must
not hold us strictly responsible till we
get little more experience. We have
been locating the monthly rainfall re-
suits fairly well, perhaps making Is
to so per cent good, but to locate a
dangerous storm and the rainfall of
every storm wave that crosses the con-
tinent are altogether more difficult
problems; but we believe it can be ac'
complished.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about May "a, cross Pacific slope
by close of 25th, great Central val.

Goth. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about May "a, great Central val
leys Goth, Eastern sections 2Sth. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
May 81, great Central valleys Goth.
Eastern sections 31st.
The week of this disturbance center
ing on the day it passes your vicinity
will average cooler than usual, and
the cool wave preceding will probably
cause frosts in Northern sections far
Their south than usual. Less than usual
rain is expected in general way, but
near meridian 80, line running north
and south a little west of Toronto and
Buffalo, the rainfall will probably be
about or little above normal
This disturbance crossing continent
25th to Goth will cause severe storms,
but not so severe as in previous
months. Indications seem to say that
this stor mwave will be most severe
on meridian 80 explained above) not
far from May 2S, and that the path of
the storm will lie over or near the
Great Lakes. But there are also indi-
cations that the greatest force of this
great storm period-May 81 to 81
will affect the sections of the Philip
pines and meridian %, that part of
the Atlantic west of Spain and Great
Britain. AS we are not sure of the
location of these severe storms all
should use care and keep out of dan
ger.
We are expecting dry weather in
large sections of the country east of
the Rockies. Our calculations were
that rain would fall following August
6, and that oats, wheat and cotton
would be injured by dry weather be-
fore June Is.
Our readers and newspapers must
permit us to blow our own horn occa-
sionally. Wagner & Co., the large
grain merchants of Chicago, publish

MEWH|NVEY CASE To
j. S. SUPREME COURT
Attorney Prepares Final Ap-
peal; Asks Stay of
Execution.
WILL BREAK PRECEDENT
Never Before Has Utah Man
Sought Highest Judg-
rnent.
WILL BREAK PRECEDENT

Preliminary to going 10 the United
States supreme court in an attempt tc
save the life OF his client, Attorney s
F. Armstrong for Harley Mewbinney
convicted murderer OF c. J.. Erickson
yesterday fled a motion for stay Of ex.
ecution aad a notice OF second appeal
to the supreme court of Utah.
The second appeal will be taken on a
question Of constitutional rights, and
though the supreme court already has
sustained the Judgment of death on an
appeal taken on general grounds. it is
essential that il pass upon the constI-
tutional question before that question
can be submitted 10 the United States
supreme court.
II is contended by counsel for the
condemned man that the constitution OF
the United States was violated when
the Judge OF the district court directed
thc Jury as TO the sort OF verdict that
must be returned. IL is charged that
that direction precluded the possibility
of q verdict less than murder In the ilrst
degree if the facts proved that Mewhln.
ney was responsible for the death Of
Erickson. A lesser degree would have
been lawful and proper, it is argued,
ana TO arDltTnTllN GireCL bEhluSb any
verdict but first degree murder or &C.
quittal was a violation of rights guar
anteed under the nations constitution.
Mewhinnoy is under sentence OF
death and unless the efforts OF his at
torney are availing he will be shot to
death at the state prison August 10.
This is said TO be the first case in
the history Of the state In which an at
tempt has been made TO appeal 20 the
supreme court of the nation in muir
der case Some question has arisen as
10 whether tho state supreme court, hav-
ing already considered the case on ap-
peal, can again hear an appeal on diff
ferent grounds. Attorney Armstrong
contends, however, that il tho state
court refuses to hear the second appeal
ho will have sufficient grounds therein
TO carry the issue at once 10 the su-
preme court OF the land
Mewhinney shot Erickson to death as
the latter rushed to the room in which
Mewhinney and pal were attempting
to rob Solomon Brown, q jewellery sales
man. The screams Of r woman who was
in the room with Brown brought Erick-
son TO her aid Mewhinney shot him
rs he crossed the threshold.
Mewhinney's partner. Samuel Kirk
patrick, is serving life sentence for
his share in the crime.
