BIDDLE BIDS ADIElI TO OLD
SCENES AND HAUHTS
Timbsrman Takes Hike, Leav-
ing no Clew as to His
Destination.
Where is Biddle?

Where Is Blddle?
This is a question that is both
ering Mrs. Biddle, the local police,
officials of the Interstate Lumber
Company. where he was until
recently employed. as well as
friends and erstwhile companions.
No one seems to have set eyes
on Biddle since last Saturday
night, when he was seen at the
intersection Of North Second
avenue and Military road in the
company of two friends. The
names of these two companions
have not been made public. so
whether or not they are cognizant
of Biddle's present whereabouts
is unknown. Mrs, Biddle cer-
tainly does not know where her
husband is. and has asked the
police to help her find him. but
they have as yet obtained no clew
as to his present abode, and are
as much in the dark as she is.
1t is stated that the domestic
life of Biddle was not as happy
as it might have been, and he
may have decided to seek single.
hearted bliss in pastures dew.
Where is Biddle? That's the
riddle,

the palace caused a sensation and
the exact status of affairs could
not be ascertained for several
hours.
The direct movement against
Madero was the result of a plot
which had been brewing since
yesterday and which possibly ex-
listed with Banquet for a much
greater length of time.
From the first it had been
known that General Banquet
was unwilling to fight. His men
were of the same mind. He
held complete command over
them and it was not doubted that
that they would follow him in
any adventure, which they did
at the national palace this after
noon.
Madero was forced to sign his
resignation from the presidency.

the other foreign diplomats held

BRADFORD A. KNAPP TO
PASS THROUGH TODAY
.Eh ROUTE TOL& n. COILEGE
Distinguished Head Of Bureau Of
Plant Industry Win Pass
Through Here This
Afternoon

Hon. Bradford A. Knapp, who
succeeded his father. the late la
mented DIR. S A. Knapp. as head
of the bureau of plant industry
of the United States department
of agriculture, will pass through
Columbus today. Mr. Knapp is
en- route to the A. and NJ. College,
at Starkville, where he goes to
deliver a lecture to the students,
and was to have reached Column
busy esterday, but missed connec-
ton. Had Mr.. Knapp arrived
here yesterday he would pro-
badly have stopped off. but he is
scheduled to speak at the A. and
M. College tonight. and it will
therefore be impossible for him
to carry out his original plan.
Mr.. Knapp's presence in this
section makes it pertinent to pub
lish the following statement re-
Gently given out by him regard
ing the eradication of the boil
weevil in Mississippi and neigh
boring states:
In a talk with Representative
Ransdell today, Bradford Knapp,
chief of the farm demonstration
division of the department of
agriculture, sounded a note of
warning to the cotton planters
not only of Louisiana, but of
Mississippi and adjoining areas
in Arkansas and Texas. What
he desired the planters in Louis
lana in particular to remember is
that the boil weevil has not been
eradicated. even from the sec.
tions of the cotton belt where
aoncof the insects was found
last season.
His injunction to all is to plant
on the assumption that the pest
will reappear during the coming
season, because the winter has
been mild. In a good many spots
in the belt last season, the in.
festation was great enough to
make it certain that during the
mild winter the pest has multi.
piled. so that unless the planters
take pains with their crop, con-
ditions will be lamentable.
In particular he hopes they
will put in at least half their
acreage with short staple quick
maturing seed. He has hearC
that many of the planters alt
contemplating putting in only
long staple, and that does no
appeal to him. In that view,
Mr.. Ransdell agrees with Mr..
Knapp. The senator elect, ever
before he had the talk, had com,
to the conclusion that it was tn,
thing to do. Neither Mr.. Rams
dell nor Mr.. Knapp believes il
will be wise, this year, to put al
the eggs in one basket.
by taking the precautions sug'
gested, Messrs. Ransdell ans
Knapp believe the evil the milo
winter has done in the way o
giving the weevil an extension
of tenure will be minimized. i
not wholly neutralized."

OUTLINED LAST NIGHT
Will Raise $4,000 for Building and Equipment
Committee Composed Of Twenty Prominent
Citizens will Undertake this Work;
Enthusiasm at White Heat

With the passing of time inter-
est in the project to establish
a Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in Columbus is growing,
and each day finds those at the
head of the movement more
earnest and more jealous in their
efforts to accomplish the desired
end. The committee appointed
to formulate plans TO raise the
necessary funds for the purchase
of a lot and the erection and
equipment of a building has held
two meetings during the past
week, and has mapped out plan
which was presented at a rousing
mass meeting held at the court
house last night.
This plan. which was presented
to the meeting by Mr.. P. w.
Maer, the chairman of the COM
mittee, contemplates a whirl-
wind campaign, with meetings
every night. at which the sub
scriptions secured during the
preceding day will be reported;
the week to be ccncluded
with an elaborate banquet, which
will be attended not only by the
leaders in the movement but all
men and boys who have in any
way participated therein. The
committee recommended that the
amount to be raised be fixed al
$4,000, and this recommendation
was adopted by the citizens ir
mass meeting assembled,
The meeting last nipas ~:
presided over by Mr. G. F.
Sherrod, a we'll known citizen
and Mr.. V. B. lines officiated a;
secretary. Gods blessing was
invoked upon the assemblage by

the First Methodist church, after
which Rev. j. B. Lawrence, pas
tor of the First Baptist church
was introduced, and delivered al
address on THE Need for ;
Young Mems Christian Associa
ton in Columbus. /" Soon aftel
Mr.. Lawrence came here he rec
ognized the need for such al
organization. and it was largel,
through his influence that tn,
present movement was inau
gurated. No one is more deepl!
interested than he in this move
ment, and last night he spok,
with great feeling, evincinl
plainly the fact that he is mucl
gratifed with the present out
look, which indicates that an un
dertaking in which he is tn,
prime mover promises to be sue
cessful even beyond his fondes
hopes.
