QUICK DECISION

SOon

Concord, N. H., Nov. 4.---The good
faith of the legal representatives of
New York in seeking the extradition
of Harry X. Thaw, fugitive from the
New York state hospital for the
criminal insane, is attacked in COM
munication sent to Governor Felker
today by Judge VIM. M. Chase, of
Thaw's counsel. Judge Chase wrote:
THE introduction of the Indictment
obtained in New York county is ad-
ditional evidence of the subterfuge
which the attorney representing the
state Of New York is employing to
obtain the aid of requisition proceed
ings for the removal of an insane
man to Matteawan, not for the pur-
pose of protecting himself, and the
public against his insane acts, but for
the purpose of punishment: ans an
insane man who is a resident of Penn
sylvania and for whose conduct the
state of New York is responsible only
while he is actually within that state.
1t became known today that Will
liam Travers Jerome, special deputy
attorney general of New York, will
file no papers in support of the extra
dition petition. Governor Felker's de-
cision is expected the last of this

The newspaper says it expects there
will be a speedy landing OF troops at

Denial Made BY Bryan.

Washington, D. c., Nov. --latest
today Secretary Bryan issued state
ment He declined to discuss the use
of the word "ultimatum," note" Or
"advices," saying he had no more 20
say than the statement itself con-
veyed. 1t was as follows:
II have made it a rule not to dis
cuss newspaper reports concerning in
ternational matters; but the nature
of the dispatches from Mexico this
morning suggest a departure from
the rule at this time. No ultimatun n
has been sent to Mexico and it is un-
fortunate that the press should giva
credence to such a report.
The harm done by speculation or
even inaccuracies in regard to do
mestic questions is limited because
'ne people are acquainted with Ihe
the subject, and can make allowances;
but as misstatements in regard to in
ternational matters may lead to seri-
GUS consequences, l feel justified in
making the above denial"
Discussion of the possibility that
President Wilson might again take
the Mexican situation to congress in
{. personal address was revived in ad-
ministration circles again today.

Peach Leaf Curl.

Peach leaf curl is disease caused
by fuDgous organism. Its spores
germinate early in the spring with
the opening of the young buds and
develop as the peach foliage develops.
The disease is characterized by an
early thickness and rolling of the
leaf, accompanied at first by yellow
or red color and finally by brown to
black color. When this stage is
reached the fungous is then mature
and its spores cover the surface of
the leaves and the foliage is doomed.
The disease is not difficult to con-
troll, however, If the proper precau-
tions are taken. Most of the failures
to control peach leaf curl have been
due to spraying at the wrong time, or
in not taking pains to see that every
bud has been drenched with the spray.
The proper time to spray is in the
spring just before the buds open, thus
preventing the termination of the
fungous spores. Later spraying than
this Is Of no value.
Spray Of the ordinary winter
strength, such as is used for the San
Jose scale is best for the leaf curl.
Lime-sulfur should always be used.
II the commercial article is employed
and the reading is from 3235 degrees
Baume, it should be diluted with
eight or nine gallons of water for each
gallon of the commercial wash. A
dilution of one to ten is often recon-.
mended, but the experience Of the
growers is that such a dilution is too
weak. There need be no fear of in
juring the trees if the spray is given
before the buds opcn.-O. A. PRATT.

FRENCH AND GERMAN C0LORs
Supposed Origin Of tho Tricolor and
the Teuton FLAG,

the Teuton Flag.
For Eve centuries black and white
have been the Hohenzollern colors, and
the first verse of the German war song,
"Ich bin elm Preusse." is:
. am Prussian! Know We not my BAN
ner?
Before me floats my flag OF black and
white!
So say these colors floating in your
sight.
black, white and red is emblematic Of
the Joining of the Hohenzollern black
and white with the red and white.
which was the ensign of the Hanseatic
league. This flag came into being
when the North German Confederacy
was established. Nov. 25, 1867. at the
close Of the Austro- Prussian war. The
red and white represent the CONNER
cial prosperity of the nation, while the
black and white symbolic the strong
arm of the state prepared to protest
and foster it.
Nowhere have historical events caus-
ID SO much change in the standards
and national ensigns of country as in
France. The oriflamme and the chape
de st. Martin were succeeded at the
end Of the sixteenth century, when
Henry I'LL, the last of the house Of
Valois. came to the throne, by the
white standard powdered fleur-de-lis.
That in turn gave place to the famous
tricolor which was introduced at the
time of the revolution, but the origin
Of that flag and Its colors is disputed
question. Some maintain that the in.
tention was to combine in the flag the
blue of the chape de St Martin, the
red Of the orifamme and the white flag
of the Bourbons. By others the colors
are said to be those of the city of Paris.
Yet again other authorities assert that
the flag is copied from the shield OF
the Orleans family as it appeared after
