arrived here shortly after 2 p. N. Mou'
day.
Capt. Barr Won't Talk.
Captain Barr met the newspaper cor.
respondents with positive refusal to
say a word about the Volturno until
the Carmania reached Liverpool ane
he had delivered his report to the
Cunard company. He referred his
would-be interviews to the ships bull
letin for an account of the tragedy
The greater part of the contents of
this had already become history.
The fire on the voIturnc appears to
have originated in her cargo hold.
When it became evident that the
flames had gained the mastery Cap
tain Francis Inch devoted all his en-
ergy to the salvation OF his passen-
gers.
Other Horrors Described.
The Carmanias bulletin says that
six small boats were launched from
the Volturno, that two OF them, with
thirty-tive persons each on board, got
away and that the other four were
smashed against the ships side and
all their occupants persisted.
After the failure OF the lifeboats
from the Carmania to reach the burn
ing ship and when Captain Barr man
euvered his vessel close to the Vol
turno the passengers on board the
Cuparder did everything in their pow
er to encourage the terrified crowd
huddled together in the after part OF
the Vo!turno. They waved handker-
chiefs and shouted cheering words
through megaphones to which they re-
ceived answering signals from the
immigrants on the Volturno.
Wireless Signals Sent Broadcast. !;
Baked in his attempts to establish
communication between the Carmania
and the Volturno, Captain Barr sent
out broadcast wireless signals which
brought to the vicinity an internation-
al feet to the suecor of the doomed
ship.
Late on Thursday Captain Barr
made another attempt to reach the
Volturno by throwing overheard life
RATS which he hoped might be of aid
to those on board. but this attempt
also proved fatal
In the meantime the despairing mes
sages from Captain Inch OF the Vol
turno calling for succor grew more in
sistent as the flames ate their way
through. Great clouds of smoke en-
veloped the ship.

Over 5000 years ago, the great
Rameses H., king of Egypt. built TWO
enormous temples. The larger one he
ordered to be excavated out OF the
solid sandstone rock. The terraces OF
the forecourt were embellished with
rows of figures and statues OF kings.
while four gigantic figures OF himself
were hewn out OF the clin and placed
In pairs on each side OF the entrance
To the temple Each Of the figures
was IS feet high. The ceilings and
walls were adorned with beautifully
colored reliefs OF aying vultures.
Modern enterprise has dug this
temple out Of the sand under which
II has been buried for centuries. But
modern enterprise has gone one bet
ter than that by lighting 1t all up
with electricity. -
To the sentimental tourist well read
in ancient Egyptian history. approach
ing this temple with feelings Of awe
and reverence, II must come az
shock to see the statues OF Rameses
decorated with electric bulbs.

II was defeated and little has been
heard OF the anti-publicity movement
since that time.
Secretary Houston, OF the depart
ment of agriculture, and Secretary
Lane. OF the department OF the In
terror. have many bureaus In the
branches OF the government over
which they preside, whose principal
work Is to gather and disseminate IN
formation. Most government officia!s
feel that any amendment which Will
curtail publicity will lessen the value
OF the various lines OF work for which
Congress has been appropriating
money for many years. Should the
anti-publicity amendment pass The
senate. 1t Is probable that the heads
OF the several departments will ask
Congress at the next regular session
to make SPECIFIC appropriation for the
employment OF publicity experts.
The cotton boil weevil, which Is
considered the very worst crop pest
which has ever
Boil Weevll been brought to
Destruction. the attention of az
ricultural auth0ri-
ties. has come to stay. This Is the lat.
est opinion OF experts who have been
engaged In the extensive studies or
the boil weevil which have been car
ried on by the government since the
pests first appearance In this country.
According to estimates of govern
mer8 experts, the decrease In value
Of the cotton crop caused by the pres
ence of the boil weevil amounts to
$100, 900. 900 year. 1t Is believed
that about rs per cent of the country
In which cotton Is grown, or 271, 900
square miles Of territory, Is now In
tested with the boil weevil. At the
present rate OF advance, 1t is believed
that the entire cotton-growing section
will be infested by the weevil In 10
or Is years. It can adapt itself to
any place where cotton grows. and
changes Its habits and methods of life
as il gets into new territory.
Weevils are known to travel from
100 to 125 miles In year. A migra-
ton Is going on all the time by the
weevil family. The pests rapidly
spread from one field to the next.
from county to county, and from state
to state. Weevil conditions are worse
this year than any time since 1909,
especially in sections Of Louisiana.
Other crop pests. as rule. have
their enemies, which keep them In
check, but the boil weevil has SO far
entirely vanquished any enemies 1t
may have.
Because the government recognizes
the boil weevil is pest which Is per-
haps permanently intrenched In this
country, 1t does not intend to cease
its fight against the great destroyer
of the cotton crop. Every known
method Of combating 1t In infested
territory and In checking It's advance
In new fields IL being adopted. The
men engaged In the farmers cooper
alive administration work OF the de-
partment Of agriculture have estab-
lished experiment stations for boil
weevil studies in many different
points in the south.
Up to the present time no satisfac-
tory method Of killing of the boil
weevil quickly has been discovered.
The Detroit times., 1913-09-15
What the Government Is Doing

The principal methods of attack are
In cultivation, diversifcatiOn and ro-N
tation OF crops, and In picking OF the
weevtl. the same as people In the
northern states engage In swat-the-
fly campaigns. The picking OF the
weevil on the cotton has been proven
profitable, and In series of expert
ments conducted In one OF the south
ern states II was found that q gain
OF 80 an acre could be made by pick.
Ing the weevils from the plants.
The government has also been
working on a number OF experiments
on the use of poisonous materials
against the boil weevil. AS a result
the department OF agriculture per-
haps will soon recommend the use,
under certain restrictions. of arsenate
OF lead, as a poison against the boil
weevil, because in over so per cent
OF the many tests which have been
conducted financial gains have result
ed following the use of this poison
after all the costs have been Iaken
out
No staple crop is injured by the
boil weevil except cotton. With q
single exception the pest lives en-
tirely on cotton. The only instance
in which 1t is known to live on an
other plant Is In Arizona, where the
Mexican boil weevil lives on a plant
which has a fine boil. resembling 4
pcotton ball, and composed Of tiny
threads OF silk fbers, so tiny that the
plant cannot be used for any purpose
whatsoever. The weevil may feed
for day or SO on one other plant,
the garden hOllyhOck. 1t can only
keep up life on this plant for q day
or two. however, and cannot breed
on II at all. II Is not known whether
the boil weevil was introduced into
this country from Mexico, as has been
often reported, or not. II grows In
It's native state In Mexico. Guatemala,
Costa Rica. Porto Rico. and Cuba.
There are number of persons who
have advocated the establishment or
a zone 100 miles wide across the
southern states, In which the raising
Of cotton would not be allowed. In or
der to hold the wedgil back In q re-
stricted territory. The plan would
be to close in this zone each year un.
til the weevil was pushed out of the
United States. This plan Is favored
both my many southern men and also
by a number OF entomologists. The
scheme Is considered impracticable.
however. by most men, because In
the first place the government would
have to buy the land practically out
right In order to control its use, and
1t Is not likely that Congress would
provide for such large purchase.
