RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CRAWF ORD'S DEATH
CHARGED TO WIDOW
Alleged That Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford Poisoned
With Drugs-Defen1-
ant Is Missing

Atlanta, July 12.--ResponsibiIity for
the death of Joshua ID. Crawford, an
aged Atlanta capitalist who died here
four years ago, was formally charged
against his widow, Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford. In n warrant sworn out here
this afternoon.
1t is alleged that the widow poisoned
her husband by giving him morphine and
other drugs within a month after their
marriage.
Police officials thus far have failed to
find Mrs Crawford to place her under
arrest. Relatives at her home professed
ignorance as to her whereabouts 1t was
thought that perhaps she had gone to Car
rollton, Ca, where she has friends The
authorities there have been requested by
local officials to arrest her in case she is
found there.
The warrant charging Mrs Crawford.
who is about 90 years old with the death
of her husband, who was rs years old at
the time of his demise, was sworn out by
Charles u. Crawford before Justice c. Fl.
Girardeau. The latter warrant was sworn
out after Superior Judge John T. Pendle-
ton had declared that warrant issued
by Coroner C. w. Baskn of Carroll coun-
ty, Georgia, yesterday, in which he asked
vestigation of her husbands DEATH was
not valid In this county
Present at Hearing
Mrs Crawford was present at the hear
ing before Judge Pendleton, in which
the Carroll county warrant was declared
invalid. She left the court room few
minutes after the decision and walked
toward the shipping district of the city In
the company of her son-in-law, John L.
Bennett. No further trace of her thus far
has been found by the authorities.
Charles u. Crawford, who swore out the
second warrant against the widow, is the
principal litigant in civil suit now being
tried here in which about % heirs at law
are seeking to have the will of the dead
man, disposing of an estate valued at $780,
900, set aside. Under the terms of the
instrument the widow is the chief bene-
ficiary Of the estate.
Todays warrant came as a result OF
recent examination of the organs of the
dead man by DR.. III. f. Harris, secre-
rotary of the state board of health. He
testified in the civil hearing to have the
will set aside that he found traces of
morphine and opium in the dead man s
stomach, and that in his opinion. he did
not die from an attack of pneumanio, as
had been reported. He asserted that the
dead mans organs were sufficiently pre-
served for him to make the examination.
Married in 1909
Mr. and Mrs. Crawford were married i'm
Jacksonville. Fla, in February, 1909 after
knowing each other for about month
1t was his second marriage, his first wife
having died six years previously Mr.
Crawford had gone to Florida for his
health at the time he met the defendant
They returned home shortly after their
marriage, and the aged capitalist died on
March 27 1909.

Mexico. City, July 12.-An anonymous
letter containing threats to blow up the
United States embassy was received by
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson toaay,

lean foreign office for investigation.
As an indication of the fervor of patriot

Organize Demonstration

Students of the capital are organizing a
demonstration for tomorrow in which they
have invited all classe to participate
Though the organizers have cautioned
those who will participate to keep order.
there is grave fear on the part of con-
servative Mexicans and also among the
American colony that the demonstration
will prove a provocative measure to Sc
rious trouble. Despite protests of Ambas-
sador Wilson in regard to the attitude of
the newspapers, especially of Ell Pals, the
latter journal devotes its entire first page
to the anti-American movement. The ar
ticles are highly sensational. Editorally
it cautions prudence, but utters strong
intimation that the time is near when
Mexicans must fight the United States.
1t urges the public not to place itself in
the position of having provoked war,
and likewise leaves the responsibility to
the United States.
1t says:
"A great wave of patriotic enthusiasm
has bene aroused throughout the coun-
try"

leans and publishes the facsimile of a tele-
gram from it's agent at Pueblo asking
for 100000 extra copies of yesterdays

The fight which came to a head late

This called attention to the attempt OF
the House to capture Mulhall the night

GOOD DEMAND FOR
HlGH-CLASS HORSES
lnsistent Call for Draft Animals
Cannot Be Supplied-Mare
Is Profitable.
(By II. G.. GARDNER.)

There is an insistent market demand
for high-class horses, especially for
draft horses, that cannot be supplied
On the other hand, the country is
flooded with common ordinary plug"
horses. They do not fill any particular
requirement or demand, hence the
very low and profit-killing prices for
which they must sell. This insistent
demand for high-class draft horses
does not come from the market alone.
There also comes q demand from the
farm, for this is day of heavy ma
chinery, demanding and increased
amount of motive power. Experience
has proven that the most satisfactory
and economical form of motive power
oS the average farm is the heavy,
sound draft mare. Besides doing most
OF the farm work she will raise a
valuable colt each year, if properly
handled. Thus she is constantly pro-
ducing profit other than by means of
the work she does. The gelding or
mule will not do this and in these
days of high-priced lands, feeds, and
labor this proposition is worthy of
careful consideration.

Fewer Strong Men Found Among Recruits of To-day

DECRUITS in the army are deterior-
N ating in physical standards since
the days of the Civil war, according
to Captain Harold w. Jones and 9TH
er officers of the army medical corps.
During a recent investigation meas
urements of 500 recruits were examin-
ed, and it was found that the per-
centage of strong men enlisted is by
far the lowest at the present day, only
SO per cent, as against 81 per cent.
in 1875.
The men considered weak at the
present time are 43 per- cent. as
against 10 per cent in 1875. At
percentage of foreign-born recruits
mas fallen from more than 60 per cent.
o about nine per cent 1t is suggest
I'd that many of the recruits obtained
years ago were hardy German and
Irish emigrants of stocky build,
which may account for the great diff
terence in the percentage of strong
men.
Captain Jones says that many of the
present recruits from the country
districts of Louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi are found to be Ill fed
and under weight, and that the uni
versal custom Of waving several
pounds under the minimum gets
many an undraped scarecrow into the

how old must a tick be before it lays
it's first pupa? Experiments indicated
that ticks may lay their first pupaI
within two weeks after Matching. This,
means that a young tick hatchlngl
soon after the first dipping may reach!
sexual maturity and lay it's first pupaI
before the last of the other pupae oni
the sheep have Matched. Theoretical1
ly, it would be necessary, in order to-
prevent this, to make another dippingI
about two weeks after the first. Three
clippings placed two weeks apart are,
certain to eradicate the tick, If the
proper dip is used. There are. how
ever, certain other factors that make
it unnecessary to use three dippings..
two being sufficient. These should be,
placed about Is to % days apart in
such weather as occurs in September.
1t is difficult to determine which is'
the best dip to use, some being better
in certain respects and poorer in 9TH
ers. The effect upon the wool and the
cost must also be taken into consider
alton. The first essential is that the
dip will kill the ticks and not injure
the sheep Among the coal tar dips
there are several that may be men,
toned as effective.
1t should be remarked that sheep
and lambs with short wool should be
left in the dip longer than those with
long wool. on account of their drying
more quickly.
The best time to dip is probably in
the autumn. The chief reason for adj
vising dipping in the fall is that the
wool on the lambs and sheep will be
grown out SO as to retain more dip.
This makes the killing of the ticks
more certain. If they are carefully
dipped then the flock will be rid of
the ticks and no dipping will be need
ed thereafter. The result will be that
the next crop of lambs will be free
from ticks from the first.
The sheep tick once eradicated will
not return to the flock unless they
associate with other ticky sheep. The
sheep tick will not live but a few days,
generally not over three or four, Off
the sheep. In this respect it differs
from the true tick, which may be
picked up by the host in the brush.
The sheep ticks whole life is spent
on the sheep. The pupae will, how
ever, hatch even if they are kept off
the sheep during the whole incubation
period 1t is therefore important to
keep the sheep after dipping away
from the shorn wool for at least a
month. Young ticks will be Matching
out in the shorn wool for three or
four weeks after shearing.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
the fact that the attendants should not
come in contact with the undipped
sheep and then associate with the
dipped flock.

CBy LEROY d. sWINGLE.)

(By LEROY d. SWINGLE)
The sheep tick is one of the worst
enemies that the sheep raiser has to
meet. The damage that it does is
accomplished slowly, silently and con-
tinuously. For this reason the dam
age may not be noticed or thought to
be of much consequence. Neverthe-
less, in the course of year, constant
ly Fostering it's host by it's blood
sucking habit, the sheep tick can eff
feet large amount of damage, which,
however, is hard to estimate. If it
should require but ten cents worth of
grain more to raise and fatten ticky
lamb than one without ticks, the dam
age done in Aock of 10000 is $1,000.
This is worth considering. The fact
Is that the damage is more than ten
cents per sheep when the effect on the
wool is added. Therefore, laying aside
our moral duty to allay the suffering
of the suffering brute, there is potent
financial reason for destroying the
gent methods of destroying the tick
it was necessary to discover the de-
tails of its life history.
The life history is divided into four
stages: the egg, the larva, the pupa,
and the image, or fully developed tick
This is the stage that is common to
everyone. The egg is not laid as in
the case with most flies. After ferti-
lization it remains in the uterus of the
mother and develops into a larva,
which is laid in the wool of the sheep.
This larva changes into the pupa stage
in about IL hours after it is laid
When first laid it is covered with
white chitinous membrane which
soon becomes brown and hard. For
convenience, shall include in the
pupa stage that portt0s of the larva
stage which is passed outside of the
tick and shall speak of the tick as
laying a pupa. Most people call the
pupa an egg.
From the standpoint of the eradi-
cation of the tick the incubation Pc
riod of the pupa, i. e., the time elaps-
ing between the laying and the hatch
ing, is the most important. None of
the sheep dips will kill all the pupae,
hence more than one dipping is nee
essary. The last dipping must occur
after all of the pupae have Matched
1t was found that pupae would
hatch in from 10 to % days in warm
weather. In cold weather the incuba-
ton period might be much longer,
sometimes Sc days being required
Thus the last dipping in summer must
be at least % days after the first in
order to kill all the ticks after they
have Matched. In autumn or spring
the last dipping should not occur
sooner than 25 to % days after the
first.
