become soiled or matted by rain. The
bands should be employed during the
months of June, July and August.
The same measures that are recon-
mended for the treatment Of this pest
in orchards are also applicable to the
treatment of shade trees, only here
more emphasis should be placed on
the value of banding the trees and
collecting the egg masses. Spraying
shade trees is not practicable for the
average property owner because tlr
trees are usually of large size. Sucn
operations require special machinery
and men having considerable knowl-
edge of spraying methods. Spraying
of shade trees Is not done to any
great extent except where the work Is
directed by the municipal authorities.
however, it is in the power of every
resident to completely protect his
trees by destroying the egg masses
and banding the trees to prevent re-
infestation by migrating caterpiuars.

AN ULSTER PLOT WAS NIPPED
Forty Tons of Arms in
London Factory.

London.--A huge conspiracy to-afm
the Ulster 'Unionists to resist the
coming home RULE regime in Ireland
has just been discovered by Scot
land Yard.
When the news became known here
it caused the greatest sensation be-
cause the discovery follows closely
the seizure of ~ tons of rifles, bayo-
nets and ammunition at Belfast Mon
day.
Now the police have discovered the
factory in London where the arms
were made and have found there 40
tons of every description of arms
awaiting shipment to Ulster. Except
for the seizure another consignment
of arms would be already on its way.

TO HIT TRUSTS BY TAXATION
Plan Of Attorney General McReynolds
Presented in Senate as Tariff
Bill Amendment.

Washington, d. Gin accord with
suggestions of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, Senator Hitchcock of Ne.
braska introduced an antitrust
amendment to the Underwood Tariff
bill, which would levy a special ad-
ditional excise tax on a sliding or
graduated scale upon manufacturers
of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
snuff. The amendment, coming from
a Democratic member, will receive
thorough consideration from the fl
nance committee.
The progressive excise tax pro-
posed would not reach a manufac-
turer until he controlled about rs per
cent of the total production OF the
articles. Over that amount he would
be taxed in rising scale on tobacco
one cent a pound for the first million
pounds per quarter, two cents pound
for the second million pounds, and
so on up to six cents a pound. These
graduated taxes would be in addition
to the regular eight cents pound
tax that all manufacturers pay on
tobacco. The same is true of the pro-
gressive tax on cigars. cigarettes and
snuff.

NELSON FREE OF CONTEMPT
Favor of Kansas City Editor in
Guthrie Case.

Jefferson City.-William r. Nelson,
editor of the Star, was discharged
from custody in the contempt pro-
ceedings adjudged against him by
Judge Joseph A. Guthrie of the Jack
son county circuit court, January 26,
1918, and the proceedings dismissed,
through an opinion filed in the SUI
preme court en- banc by Judge Wood
son and concurred by all the other
six members of the bench.
Judge Woodson holds that Mr.. Mel
son was deprived of his rights by
Judge Guthrie and condemned with
out the taking of testimony in hear
ing on the part of the accused. He
also finds that Judge Guthrie had pre-
pared his finding the night before
Mr.. Nelson was hailed into court, and
that in doing so he violated plain
and fundamental rule Of right and
sought to deprive the prisoner of his
rights without process of law.

THE SENATE BALKs
UNITED STATES MAY NOT RE,
NEW THE ARBITRATION
TREATIES.
A LONG DEBATE IS PROMISED
The British Attitude on the Panama
Canal Tolls Question Leads to Stir
ring Arguments-Twenty. Three
Treaties Affected.

Washington, d. C.-The principle
of compulsory arbitration written into
the code that has bound the United
States with twenty-four great land
lesser nations of the world for the
last five years is in danger, and I'M
less there is a decided change in SEN
timent in the senate the renewal OF
twenty-three of the treaties which
gave concrete evidence of this Ma.
TONS belief in such a policy may
be impossible.
In executive session, the senate
again failed to ratify renewals of the
arbitration agreement with Great
Britain, Italy and Spain, which recent
ly expired. These conventions pro-
vide that questions relating to the in
depreciation of treaties, excepting
those that cannot be settled through
diplomatic channels or those OF vital
interest, national honor or indepen-
dence, shall be submitted to The
Hague. A similar treaty with France
already has been renewed.
The main argument arose over the
contention that If the treaty with
Great Britain is ratified the Panama
Canal tolls question would have to be
submitted to The Hague, but in the
discussion the Japanese question and
the general attitude of the Nation
toward compulsory arbitration was
brought up, and led to the expression
of views utterly at variance with en-.
trance into such binding agreements
In the future.
A motion to re-refer the three
treaties to the foreign relations com
mittee with instructions that the one
with Great Britain be modified so as
to exempt specifically the Panama Ca
nal tolls question was abandoned, but
prolonged debate was predicted for
future sessions, and friends of the
principle of arbitration were alarmed
at the strength displayed by the op-
position.
Some senators showed a disposition
to. criticise the making of compulsory
arbitration agreements, even If they
bound only in cases which do not af-
feet vital interest, national honor or
independence.

THE OIL DECREE INADEQUATE
Further Action May be Taken Against
Standard Company by Attorney
General MeReynolds.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. General Nc
Reynolds said that he regards the
Standard Oil dissolution decree as in.
adequate to meet the intent of the
Sherman Law. This was the first
definite indication of the Attorney
Generals attitude toward the investi
cation now being conducted to deter
mine whether an "oil trust still
exists.
His objections to the decree. like
those he has expressed against the
tobacco trust decree, are based on the
ground that real dissolution of q
trust cannot be accomplished by dis
tribution of the stock pro rata among
the same shareholders.

JUDGE MARSHALL HANDS DOWN
OPINION IN KANSAS NAT
URAL CASE.
STATE RECEIVERS CONTROL
With Judge FIannelly's Appointees In
Charge Missouri Cities viii Prob
ably Get But Little Gas
for Fuel.

Kansas City, Mo.,-Expressing grave
fears for the result and regret that
technically gave jurisdiction, Judge
John A. Marshall of the United States
district court of Utah, sitting in the
United States court in Kansas City,
Kan, rendered a decision effecting
dismemberment of the Kansas Nat
ural Gas Company. 1t is believed the
result will be no gas for Missouri.
Judge Marshall awarded to re-
ceivers appointed by Judge Thomas
j. Flannelly of the district court of
Montgomery county, Kan, control of
that part of the company's property
lying within the state of Kansas. The
federal receivers appointed by Judge
John c. Pollock of the United States
district court, who since their ap-
pointment have had control of the
company's entire property, valued at
$22,000,000, will retain control of the
companys property in Oklahoma and
Missouri.
The federal receivers Immediately
filed notice of appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals at St.
Louis. Judge Marshall allowed TWEEN
ty days in which to perfect an ap-
peal and required that $4,000 super
sedeas bond be filed. The effect of
Judge Marshalls decision will be sus-
pended pending the appeal and the
federal receivers will, for that time,
remain in charge of the entire prop
erty. Should the decision of Judge
Marshall be sustained, an appeal prob
ably will be taken to the supreme
court of the United States.
Disaster Feared.
The results, should Judge Marshall's
decision become effective, 1t is be-
lieved by the federal receivers and
officials of the gas company, will be
deplorable from the standpoint of the
public and disastrous from the stand
point of the stockholders. No gas
for Kansas City or any other cities
formerly supplied in Missouri, and the
financial ruin of the company are re-
suits predicted. In announcing his
decision, Judge Marshall expressed
grave fears for the result and also
his regret that a technicality COM
PEELED him to render it.
