Defence Aims at Rose.

Rose has been picked out as the real
power behind the guns. Weber and
WALTON are shown merely as his ennis

with this theory Mr.. Manton asked

and asked the District Attorney If he

Just as Weber vas leaving the stand
Mr. Manton asked him again II he would

his head In the negative as he walked
away.
District Attorney Whitman recalled
Jack" Rose to the witness stand at the
opening OF court yesterday, and on re-
direct examination cleared UP some OF
the seeming discrepancies in Roses tes-
timony on cross-examinaton the day be-

of his newspaper stories. Mr.. Whitman
wanted to know il he had written these
articles from his own knowledge.
NO, they were written from rumors,
hearsay, gossip, scandal, printed reports
and police records" Rose ratified off.
Weber took the stand at 1870. Mr..
Whitman took him quickly over the
ground Of his pedigree-gambler all his
life until he became a manufacturer a
year ago-and brought out that he knew
all the principal characters who figure in
the murder plot. Weber said that he
had collected money for Rose from gam

Sensational Stories
Should Be Discounted.

In times when there are wars or
rumors Of war the public can always
expect a whole lot of sensational
stories to be sent out which are I'M
Already this has occurred in the
trouble with Mexico.
II all the Americans had been kill
ed that were reported at different
times to have been killed the total
would be far in excess of one hundred
since Vera Cruz was taken.
Many reports apparently from per-
fectiy reliable sources have been sent
out that appear later to have had no
foundation whatever. One of these re-
ports was that Villa was going to
march on Ell Paso, another that villa
had had CarTanza put in Jail, and
there have been numerous reports
about people being killed which have
never been substantiated.
In the very face of things It is
natural that false reports should be
careful newsgathering organization as
the Associated Press has been given
misleading statements. and has sent
them out, but has corrected them as
soon as possible.
The situation has been bad enough,
that is certain, but too much credencs
should not be given to fumors that
come from unknown sources.
Just now efforts are being made by
Brazil. Argentina, and Chile to effect
a peaceful settlement OF the trouble.
If anyone is disturbed by this and
has fear that the United States will
be in haste to back down, he can
possess his soud in peace. for Mr..
Wilson knows what is due TIRE
United States and he will be salts
fled with nothing short OF what is
honorable. At the same time he has
all along declared that he hoped that
war could be averted, and he is sill
standing by his original declaration.
1t can be confidently expected that
the next few days will see either q
peace settlement or the beginning of
a war that may last through years
probably the latter.
Congress does not appear to be in
a temper to spend much time over
quibbling.
A great crisis-a parting of the
ways has been reached.

This is the time to destroy their

it: That every tin can, bit of broken

That no water Is allowed to stand
on our own places uncovered in tubs

wigglers to breed in; and
That the attention OF the city Of

to any standing water in the town,
that 1t be drained away OF covered

will have gone far to stop the breed

The breeding of flies will be stopped

tight boxing of all places where ma

lay eggs in 1t;
BY not allowing the manure 10 lie

BY keeping all garbage covered, and

EARTH WORM OF MUCH VALUE
Has Not Hitherto Been Given the
Credit It Deserves

That the earth worm has some pur-
pose in life. aside from acting as fish
bait, chicken feed or even being man
gled in the interests of science, is
now admitted by the observers who
have been studying him in his rela-
tons to the world. They discover
that he is drain digger and practical
lighting engineer.
At any rate 1t is now definitely es-
tablished that his holes in damp soil
materially assist in carrying of the
surplus moisture and admit light, two
things which go far towards making
that soil productive for the farmer.
Furthermore, in digging these holes
the earth worm brings the dirt to
the surface in finely pulverlzed con-
dition. 1t ie rich loan and thus pre-
pared is extremely fertile.
OF course a single worm is incap-
able of depositing considerable
amount of such soil, but, as there
are $4,000 of them TO an acre OF
ground. the scientist figures that the
daily deposit by earth worm excava-
ton amounts to so pounds for every
acre which they inhabit This scat
tered over the leaves and mold al
ready there has distinct fertilizing
value, which. in conjunction with the
effect of light and drainage already
noted. would seem to entitle the earth
worm to respect which he has not
hitherto enjoyed.
