hours tonight the Fabre Steamship
Cos. liner Roma with more than AGO
passengers and a crew of 100, from
Marseiiles for Providence and New
York, was reported in a precarious
condition on the rocky shoals of No
Mans Land. Shortly after 10 o'clock
a message was picked up saying the
vessel had floated and was proceeding
to Providence. This was confirmed by
later message to the naval radio sta
tion at Newport. Conditions for wire-
less work were very poor and details
of the accident were lacking. But from
the messages sent by the Roma's radio
there seemed to be no grave concern
on the part of Captain combernous for
the safety of his ship or passengers.
The Roma was not expected to reach
Providence until after daylight. The

HERE ARE SOME REAL
FACTS ABOUT WEEDS.
Mineral Point. Wis.

The experiment station at
Madison once gathered data
from PAS farmers about weeds.
A. |. Stone, state seed inspector,
submitted the questions and the
answers averaged up this way:
What per cent of pasture is
spoiled by weeds? Fifty per
cent.
What methods of eradication
used? Burning, digging, pulling
and sailing. Of the total, 1903
were successful, SO partially and
% not successful.
What was the cost of killing
weeds? Total for the PAS farm
ers, $5,47O, with an average of
500.
Amount of taxes paid annual
ly? Total of farms, $10,684, or
an average of $68.05. Had the
cost of cultivation necessary to
keep down weeds in corn been
considered the weed tax" would
have equaIed or exceeded the
oft complained Of property tax.
