bv far the most severe of them all was
that of last Saturday afternoon, when
wind and electric storm of territy lus
character swept over this fair farming
district. 1t was the worst experience
in years. according to the oldest inhabi-
tants. The lightning struck the stra"
ricks on the Reese farm and set them
blazing. but the buildings were saved
from destruction. The wind did great
damage BY breaking trees, telephone
poles, flatteniug corn fields and blowing
unthreshed wheat over the grounds.
Many old trees which have been land

NINE, CAILLhUX
Freed BY JURY
Acquitted Of Editors Murder
in Paris.
RIOTOUS SCENES IN COURT
The Prosecutor Springs Surprise In
Closing Hours by Withdrawal Of
"Premeditation" Charge.

Nine. Henriette Caillaux was acquit-
ted by a jury in Paris of the murder
of Castor Calmette, editor Of the FL
CARO-, after one Of the most sensational
trials in Paris since the famous Drey-
fus case.
The verdict was returned in a little
more than an hour.
AS soon as Nine. Caillaux was re-
leased violent demonstrations occur
red among the crowds in the court
room, near the Palace OF Justice and
on the boulevards where the cerdict
was flashed. Cheer after cheer greeted
the prisoner on her release, while
sympathizers with the Calmette fam
lily. who boohed the acquitted woman,
were saved from mob violence by the
extra guard Of gendarmes which was
on duly in the court room and near
the entrances to the building.
Nine. Caillaux is the wife of Joseph
Caillaux, former premier and minister
Of finance NJ. Caillaux resigned his
position as premier after the crime.
The trial came to an end after a
day filled with spectacular and sensa-
uonal incidents. Spectators thronged
the Palace of Justice by thousands.
The rush for seats in the court room
was so great that riotous scenes en-
sued. Several persons were injured
IN tile crush and a number of others
were arrested.
The acqmttal Of Nine. CaillauX, who
SHOT and killed NJ. Calmette in the
latter's Office on March Is, on his re.
fusai to suppress the publication OF
certain letters, was forecasted when
the public prosecutor withdrew the
charge of "premeditated murder.
Tdis action lett the jury free to acQuit
the prisoner or convict her of a nOmi- |
nal ofense.
The announcement, which caused a /
iurore in the crowded court room, was
made by NJ. Herbaux. the public prose
cutor. in his closing speech against
the defendant He admitted that there
we're eXtenuating circumstances in the /
prisoners favor. With charge OF pre- /
meditated murder against Nine. Gail 4
laux when the case went to the jury, I
it would have been possible for that
body to sentence her to be beheadei
on the guillotine.
The break in the prosecutions case
vas but one of many exciting and
spectacular incidents on the session
when attorneys for both sides began
their final appeals to the jury.
Parisians, worked up to fever heat
over the trial. which has lasted for
eight days, stormed the Palace of Jus
tice. where the proceedings were be-
Ing held. At least 10000 persons were
ia the throng that sought admittanee

swarms Of Pests-Lawns, Trees and
shrubbery Damaged.
Army worms have invaded thirty
counties in Pennsylvania and are de
stroying thousands of doddals worth
Of crops, according to officials at the
department Of gariculture at Harris
burg.
Farmers in all of the infested coun'
ties are sending frantic appeals tc
the department for quick methods OF
killing them.
The pests are also raising havoc
with crops and lawns in south Jer'
sey. In Woodbury. thousands of the
wrigglers took possession Of a resi-
dence, causing the family to abandon
the place until the worms were exter-
minated.
Harry Gehman, Philadelphia's act
ing city forester, opened campaign
of determination. He set a squad OF
men at work in the vicinity Of the
Northeast boulevard and Ninth street
spraying the worfs with a solution OF
arsenate Of lead.
The worms marched" rapidly
through the Germantown district, de-
vastating lawns and gardens. Resi-
dents attacked the pests with arse
nate of lead, kerosene and gasoline.
Arsenate Of lead was sprinkled freely
on the lawns and the grass was cut
short in an effort to check the advance
of the worms
According to reports from upstate
millions Of army worms have invaded
the wyoming valley and are doing
much damage to lawns, trees, shrub
berry, flowers and crops. Hundreds OF
lawns in Wilkes-Barre were destroyed.
Property owners have appealed to the
city officials for aid in fighting the
pests. C. L. Seybold. superintendent
of parks, has taken charge OF the
fight against the invaders.
