Scared from the battering q

Saga has been at the Breakwater AZ
Lewes for two days, and viii proceed
to Baltimore.
Caught In the thick OF a bombard~
ment between the fire of San Domingo
government and revolutionary forts
and gunboats the Saga, under Cap
tain Claus Schoubye. was compelled
to run the gauntlet Of shot and she'll.
without even getting her clearance
papers.
Struck nearly a dozen times by
shells from forts or warsbips, the
Saga practically was unchanged ale
though one shell passed through her
pinnacle box.
II was on June II that the Saga,
from Christlania, Norway entered the
port of Azua. San Domingo. to load
sugar for an American port. Azua
had fallen into the hands of the
revolutionists. The Saga continued 10
take on bags of sugar. but on June
% the government gunboat Indcpend-
encia arrived off the harhor and made
shore strongholds The Saga pulled
out TO moorings half a mile from
shore. but the hombardment became
so fierce and wild that tho steamship
was struck ten times, by small
missiles mostly. When one she'll
went screaming through the pinnacle
box on the bridge Of the ship on the
morning OF June 90, Captain Schou-
bye decided II was time to leave and
he did so. without subiecting his ship
TO further danger Of being sunk by a
stray shell or of taking the risk per-
sonally of going ashore TO get clear
ance papers.
With 1864 bags of sugar already
laden. the Saga steamed to the nearest

MOTOR CRUISERS
race today FOR
DUPONT TROPHY
Five Entries Get Away in
Classy Wilmington Yacht
Club Event
Dinner AND Dance
after The finish

Five fast motorboat cruisers started
from the Wilmington Yacht Club this
morning in the annual race for the
General r. Coleman DUPONT trophy, a
massive design in silver representing a
raised deck cruiser poised on the crest
of a wave. 1t is one of the handsomest
and most costly trophies offered to
cruising powerboats in the country.
Unless one of the two Wilmington
boats entered in todays race is the
victor. the contest for the DUPONT tro-
ply will start next year from the club
whose boat wins today's contest OF
sixty-four nautical miles to Ship John
Light, in the Delaware bay, and return.
The yachts were started from s
o'clock this morning by Joseph NJ.
Pusey, rear commodore Of the viii
mington Yacht Club, who is officer of
the day. He was at the head of COM
mittee that looked after the visiting
yachtsmen, comprising Vice Commodore
A. NJ. Main, c. H. Smith, Jr., Frank c.

II is altogether likely that the
finish will be one of the closest foI
motor cruisers that has been seen in
the East, under the new system ol

sideration of engine power than was

HAD LEGAL
RIGHT TO ELECT
new Inspector

Charles p. Anderson. who was
elected TO the office of building in
spector by City Council on Thurs
day night. to fill the unexpired term
Of William e. Johnson, was sworn
into Office yesterday and furnished
bond in the sum of $4,000
A question arose over technicality
in the city charter as to whether Mr..
Anderson could rightfuliy assume teh
office. as a provision in the city
charter regarding the Office of build
ing inspector defines that Council
shall appoint some one to fill an un-
expired term in cases where the in
cumbent resigned or was dismissed,
but makes no refernce to death.
This. however. is shown TO be
wrong, as there is a general provi-
sion in the cnarter providing that
an city offices that are elective by
Citv Council shall, in cases of death,
be filed by an appointment by Coun-
Gil.
The appointment OF Mr.. Anderson
has caused a hitch in the awarding
of the contract for the improvement
to the police station garage, which
Is used to house the automobile pa
troll wagon. Two bids were opened
for this work at the last meeting Of
Council. one from Mr. Anderson for
S2e9.16 and the other from Fred
erick Samworth for $3.50. Mr.. An
derson is the lowest bidder, but hav-
ing been appointed to the Office OF
building inspector he ig ineligible to
/ take the contract
The bids we're referred to the Pub
lie Buildings Committee Of Council,
and II is expected that this commit
tee will reject the bids and advertise

FRUIT GROWERS SHOULD give Their
attention TO GREEN APPLE APHIS
Nearly Every Section Of Kentucky Was Attacked BY This
scourge In 1913 and the Same Trouble Can Be Ex-
pected Again This Year-The Methods of Control

During the spring OF nineteen thir.
teen. Kentucky passed through a very
severe scourge OF green apple aphis,
more commonly called plant lice.
Nearly every apple growing section Of
the state was attacked and in some
instances the crop for the season was
complete loss due to the ravages OF
this little pest Since we are liable
To a repetition of this same trouble
again this year. It is well to call the
growers attention to II before 1t is
too late
The work of the aphis is familiar to
everyone who has had any experience
In an orchard. Their presence is
usually characterized by the curling OF
the leaves and malformation OF the
blossoms and fruit. In orchards where
the aphis has been particularly bad
the previous season, many gnarly ill.
formed apples viii be found clinging
to the trees long after the leaves drop.
II the injury were confined TO the
fruit alone. II would not be so bad.
but the aphis also attacks the young
growing shoots. thereby weakening
them and the tree so that the chances
for stand of fruit another season is
greatly lessened

Shows How carelessness Costs.

In big store the general manager
recently instituted a plan tending to
eliminate poor handwriting among the
company's employees. When errors or
delays occur in getting out orders
through inability to read the order
slips he summons all clerks who have
been careless in that respect TO the
assembly room at the close OF the day.
There all incorrectly and poorly writ
ten checks are flashed by a stereop-
ticon upon a large screen. and In each
instance the employees are told how
much the carelessness has cost the
store and what steps had been neces-
sary 10 rectify the trouble. As all the
checks are numbered each clerk knows
when his careless work Is being made
the subject OF the illustrated criticism.
and as a result few examples OF care

evidence and the delivery and filling
Of orders have been greatly facilitated.
