FUDGE ERSKINE of the criminal
court was dispensing justice to
the unfortunate when Il request
came over the telephone that he
come home immediately. Realizing that
something momentous had happened in
his household. he adjourned the cour
and left for his residence. On reaching
it he found his daughter, Il girl OF
twenty, in charge Of Il policeman.

the q who recognized the judge.

as Il water Inspector and found those

Don't cry. Lulu: it will be all right"
Though the judge reasSured his
daughter. he could not reasSure him
self. He did not doubt that some Il
had laid a trap for him. but remem-
bered that all are supposed to be equal
before the law. and unless he could
prove q conspiracy there was trouble
ahead. He cast a glance ut some laces
! in the hands Of a man in plain clothes,
then went with his daughter to court.
where. having furnished bail. he took
her home. Then he repaired to the
office of the head Of the firm Of Ham
merStein & Co.
All Mr.. Hammerstein knew about
the matter was that they had received
an anonymous note informing them
where certain Of their stolen goods
were to be found. and they had sent n
detective to the address. He had Sc
cured entrance as q water inspector
and found the articles. The judge
went away much depressed. The offer
Of Mr.. Hammerstein to refrain from
prosecuting the case did not relieve the
former because the state would surely
prosecute anyway, and. even If the
case was not tried. the stain would
remain. Judge Erskine believed that
some criminal whom he had sentenced
had taken this method Of revenge.
A few days after his daughters ar
rest he received the following note:
Judge Erskine:

the guests who had made an interest

fore God and seek the souls of men,
fearing no ones frOwn and desiring no

humility, for then, as now, there was
often Il desire for the best place that

Athletic fan used some of these express

used "E-yeh," for that is one of the first
expressions that he sprang upon the

April ID Will Open the 1914
Baseball Season, Which All
Fandom Is Looking For
ward to In FeVeriSh
Excitement.

@VERYWHERE the fans are
waiting expectantly for the
opening OF the baseball season.
April II. Big and little. young
and old, are figuring on the advantages
their favorite teams have this season.
They are wondering just how far the
new Federal league, which has broken
into society,"" will go. They are toss
ing about in their minds the real worth
Of the new material which has made
it's appearance this year among the
expected. The fans are awaiting the
big day more earnestly than the young
man about to enter into matrimOny.
Their hearts are beginning to futter at
each new report respecting the teams.
Changing conditions within the base
ball fraternity have given the fans
more to talk about than usual during
the winter and early spring months.
The election Of Governor Tener Of
Pennsylvania to head the National
league, for instance, in itself would
have been enough Of a feature for any
n in an ordinary year, but with the
Federals around to keep things moving
and other things which have transpired
since the end Of last season baseball
has kept itself prominently before the
public. With all this added wind to
stir up the ardor of the baseball fan
and keep the fire within him kindled,
the season will no doubt open with a
larger attendance than ever before re-
corded in the history Of the national
game.
Fan is a Creature by Himself.
The baseball fan is a creature by

woman or q child. But "he" is sepa.

Perhaps the spectators at q bullfight

Christians being torn to pieces by the
lions could be compared with a fan
But, no; eve these audiences. wild an(

The enthusiasm Of the former isn't O.
the healthy kind which baseball pro
duces. 1t is not the same spirit tina
makes man crazy for two hours a day
sending him through every shade o
emotion imaginable as he watches tn,
movements Of q little ball no bigge

who fill the bleachers who help t
swell the noise at the ball game, bu
the men in the grand stand and boxe
as we'll.
While the walks Of lives of thos
who sit in the grand stand are great
varied, the crowd is hardly as cosm'
politan as that which graces the bleach
ers. The man with but little mean
does not get the same opportunity t
sit in the more expensive seats as doe
the man in comfortable circumstance
to sit in the bleachers.
But it must not be supposed that b.
cause the occupants OF the cover
stands are in better circumstances an
OF more advanced walks of life. tn:
they are not as rabid rooters as Il,
those who spend their all to see a bt

Amount Paid to N. D.
Fire Departments From
1914 Insurance Fund

North Dakota's volunteer firemen
have this week met in annual con-
vention at Lisbon. 1t has been one Of
the best attended and most interesting
conventions in the history of the state.
With delegates from nearly every one
of the 167 towns belonging to the
North Dakota Firemen's association,
in attendance, there has been ample
opportunity for discussion of fire pre-
vention and fire fighting as it must be
met by the volunteer firemen.
IN this state every town or
company composed Of at least
fifteen members, and which has
in actual use at least one steam
or hand fire engine, or hook and lad
der truck, or hose cart, and which
town is member of the North Dakota
Firemen's association, may receive
from the state as aid in keeping up its
fire department sum equal to per
cent of the total amount of premiums
paid for fire insurance in that town
Fire prevention and fire protection
are being given attention, it may be
understood, when one considers that
in 1890 only sixteen towns were mem
bers Of the state association, while
members in good standing.
It NAV be of interest to Forum
readers to know what towns belong to
the state association, so following is
published the name Of the town and
the amount which the state auditor
remitted on June l as aid to the sew
eral fire departments.
Two per cent of fire insurance prem
iums, paid June l, 1914.

HOW TO RID THE
TREES OF PEST

North Dakota Agricultural College,
Editor The Forum: l have a good
number of requests from residents Of
the city in regard to what is causing
the leaves of the boxeldeT, maple and
other shade trees to curl, warp and
form gals or knots and take peculiar
colorations. Usually this is due to the
numerous small plant lice which at
tack the under side of the leaves.
These insects live by sucking the
juice from the leaves and one cannot
cannot poison them, as Is usually sup
posed, by the use of Paris Green.
The easiest way l have found of
of them in my own yard is
to turn on the city water pressure by
means of the garden hose. 1 use the
straight nozzle which can be set to
throw fine, strong stream into the
top of the highest Of the shade trees,
standing under the trees to one side
and shooting upward to the leaves
which are infested. This will be, in
most cases, powerful enough to
knock off most of the lice. They are
rather slow crawlers and poor flyers
and If the leaves of young trees are
drenched in this manner for few
days early in the morning at this per-
iod of the year, the leaves will soon
take on healthy appearance. The lice
are mostly located on the under side.
This same treatment, properly applied,
will dispose of the cottony scale louise
of the boxelder and other trees. If, of
course. the water pressure is not
available, then the common kerosene
emulsion ought to be used and the
compressed air sprayer or some other
type of forcible spray will be need
ed to drench the stems and leaves. Al
proper emulsion of kerosene and soap
will kill any soft skinned insect which
it hits.

PRONG HORN
ANTELOPE

Regina, Saskatchewan, June H.
The rescue and perpetuation Of the
rapidly disappearing prong horned an
telope is to be undertaken by the
Canadian government. To this end it
enlisted the services of Ernest Thomp-
son Seton, the naturalist, and Maxwell
Graham, chief of the geological divi-
sion at Ottawa, who have outlined a
scheme which promises success. This
proposes the establishment of three
fenced parks for antelope in different
parts of their favorite range, on areas
not desirable for agriculture and in re-
gions that still contain wild antelope.
The first step was to outline the
ancient and present range Of the ante
lope, then to ascertain the probable
dence of many game wardens and
mounted police shows that there are
yet between one thousand and fifteen
hundred antelope still at large in Eiae
Canadian northwest.
Prior to the hard winter of 1906 and
1907, there were at least ten times as
many; but that a long, fierce spell OF
frost and deep snow killed them off by
thousands. In the spring when tbs
starving remnants We're making their
way north over the frozen Saskatches
wan, the rotten ice gave way, accords
ing to one ranchman, and over Aws
hundred were engulfed on one uc-
casion as he watched them from the
bank.
Seton Graham, acting for the Dos
minion government, set out on the 9th
of May to select the lands needed,
Three parks have been secured. one in
each of the prairie provinces, Alberta
Saskatchewan and Manitoba. On the
two former the wild .antelopes still
range. All the conditions, climatic
topographic and botanic, have been
pronounced perfect. Each park will
be about thirty-six square miles in ex-
| tent. Fencing will begin this summer;
| it will be horse-high, bull-strong and
coyote proof. A competent warden
will be in charge and in residence In
each. AS soon as the snow comes a
careful drive will be organized to stock
the fenced ranges.

Expressions of anger a the vandal-
ism of the militant suffragettes are
more vehement than ever among the
general public, which is reused to a
state of intense excitement by yes

LORINER
BANKS ARE
CLOSED UP

Chicago, June II. The LaSalle
Street Trust & Savings bank of which
former Senator William Lorimer Is
president was taken in charge by the
state bank examiner. No business
was done in the bank today. The ex-
aminor reported that conditions were
such as to warrant the closing Of the
bank
A mild run on the bank was started
two days ago, according to the secre-
tary Of the bank. today more and more
depositors gathered in front of the
institution which is a few doors from
the board of trade building in LaSalle
street An hour after the arrival of
the state bank examiner, doors Of the
bank closed.
An examination of subsidiaries of
the LaSalle Street bank, it was an
nounced, will be taken up by the bank
examiner.
Lorimer. president Of the bank. was
in conference with the directors Of the
institution through the morning.
Later, the state bank examiners
caused a suspension of business in
three subsidiaries of the La Sale
street institution. These were the
Broadway State bank on the north
side, the Ashland bank on the west
side in the ghetto district. and the
Illinois State bank Of Chicago, on
North Clark street. The Broadway
State and Ashland banks were organ
lied within year.
In financial circles it is reported that
the Corn Exchange bank yesterday
refused to allow the La Sale street
institution to clear through it. A rough
estimate Of the amount withdrawn by
depositOrs is $1,000,000.
