KING COLE
 ARRIVES AT
 HOT SPRINGS

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 19-S1owly RJrt surely the tardy athletes who were ordered by Manager Bill Dono- van to report at the Spa are reach ing camp. King Cole arrived yes- terdax from California, where he spent part of the winter, and the Yankee squad will be complete with the arrival of Ray Caldwell, who is due here fby. Monday.
 Cole has been playing ball almost continuously since the season closed last fall Just 8 short time after the city series in New York he Joined Connie Mack's All-American team and made the trip to the Coast then Ao Honolulu, which not only kept him in action. but netted him $16OO On reaching California he Joined the Brawley club in the Wn- ter league, and played there until about two weeks ago when the league suspended on account of the rainy season.
 On his way here Cole met Nap Fucker, star southpaw of the Brook Iyn Dodgers, and the two came to Hot Springs together. Rucker came here to take some treatment for his arm which bothered him all last sea- son. and will also take the baths and get into condition He is going to work out daily here until the first week in March, when he will report to the club at Daytona. Fla.
 Rucker made a poorer showing last year than any time since he came into the National league. Except for the fact that he could still beat the Giants he did not show his old- time form He feels confident, how ever, that he will be able to come back.

PITCHER CARL MAYS
 SIGNS WITH RED SOX

After the unfounded rumor that Forrest Cady was ready to jump to the Feds, 8 telegram from the same inspired source claimed that Carl W Mays, who twirled for the Providence club last season and has since been purchased by the Red Sox, was con templating a flop to the Bread league.
 This story was to the effect that the Feds had offered Mays 8 $3,6Oo con tract, and that unless the Boston club offered the same inducement. the new recruit for Carrtgan's twtrI- ing staff would desert the ranks of organized baseball.
 Just what ground there was for any such rumor was shown unmistake- ably yesterday by the receipt at the Red Sox ofhce of Mays signed con- tract. The young pitcher, in accept ing President Lannin's terms made no mention at all of the Federals. and stated simply in a very brief let ter that he would be on hand at Hot Springs at the appointed time, ready to show his best to Manager Carri- gan, ct als.
 Boston fans may be more or less interested in a review of last seasons work by Mays. Touted to President Lannin by Wild Bi1l'' Donovan as probably the most effective pitcher of the Gray team. the record as shown by the following official figures will convey a good idea of just what Mays had to show in order to get a major league tT,yout.
 In 36 games Mays pitched, 27s 1-3 innings, faced 1000 batsmen and was hit safely 294 times. In these 36 games, 94 runs were scored off him. He struck out 129 men, passed 73 men, hit eight batsmen and made one ba1k. He won 24 games, lost eight, was taken out of the box three times and Is credited with the high average of .75o for pitching effectiveness.

MONDAY IS GENERAL CLEANUP DAY FOR
 TENT CATERPILLAR
Efforts Will Be Made to Rid State of Pest Which Has De- strOyed Valuable Trees and Marred Beauty of Its High ways.

Those who travelled at all over the Connecticut highways last spring and summer were amazed at the wanton destruction which the tent caterpillar was wrecking on the bushes and trees of the roadside. In some sections, 1t seemd that nothing was spared, old trees as well young saplings, with every leaf eaten off their szele- on limbs, white with the webbing woven by the pests, stood like ghostly nonu- ments to the scourge. The beauties of the country roads, for which this state is famous, was greatly marred by these disgusting worms It Is not only the beauty of the landscape which is at stake bu the value of the trees as well.
 That the pest may be annihilated if possible, a. general plea that Wash ington's Birthday be made a day for the destruction of the nests of the tent caterpillar has been sent out through the state by Corneha Buxton Smith, Chairman of the State Com mittee on Conservation, D.. A. R.
 This plea calls attention to the fact that the wild or choke cherry trees are especially favored by the cater. pillar and it would be an e1ttrerne ely appropriate way to celebrate the day by emuIating Wasl1in gton and cutting down these cherry trees wherever they are found breeding the pests.
 It asks for concerted action on this day saying, s'let every farmer and owner, with the boys and girls, help gather and burn the egg nests, ana spend part of the day, at least in clearing the roadsides of these pests Newspapers, granges, town oFgafli- zatfons, and all societies of whatever sort are called upon to use their in- fluence for a grand "Clean-up'' day on Monday.

SINK BRTTISHVESSEL
Lusitania Destroyed by Subma-
rine..Many Americans Perish.

London, May 8:-The Cunard Liner
Lusitania, which sailed out of New
York last Saturday with more than
1000 souls aboard, lies at the bot
tom of the ocean off the Irish coast.
She was sunk by a German sub
marine, which sent two torpedoes
crashing into her side while the pas
sengers were having luncheon,
How many of the Lusitania's pas
sengers and crew were rescued can
not be told, but the official state
ments from the British admiralty
up to midnight accounted for not
more than five hundred or six hun
dred.
The Lusitania was steaming along
about ten miles off Old Head Kin
sale, on the last leg of her voyage to
Liverpool, when about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon submarine suddenly
appeared, and so far as all reports
90, fired two torpedoes without
warning at the steamer. One struck
her near the bows and the other in
the engine room.
The powerful agents of destruc-
ton tore through the vessels side,
causing terrific explosions. Almost
Immediately great volumes of water
poured through the openings and
the Lusitania listed.
Boats, which were already swung
out on the davits, were dropped
overheard and speedily filed with
passengers.
A wireless call for help was sent
out and Immediately rescue boats OF
all kinds we're sent out, both from
the neighboring points along the
coast and Queenstown.
But within fifteen minutes, as one
survivor estimated, and certainly
within half an hour, the Lusitania
had disappeared.
Old Head Kinsale. where Great
Britain's fastest merchant vessel
went down, is a landmark that has
brought joy to many travellers, as it
always has stood as the sign from
shore that the perils Of the voyage
across the Atlantic were at an end.
ADublin dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says that the
latest reports indicate a loss of life
on the Lusitania at about one
thousand.

LITTLE INSURANCE.

LITTLE INSURANCE.
Very few of the business men car
ried tornado insurance and hence
the property loss is nearly all loss.
1t is impossible to get a satlsfac-
tory account of all the personal in
juries received. j E Reardon was
painfully hurt in the chest by being
caught under a heavy show case in
Nimmer's store, and Morris Ness
was hurt on the top of the head by
a falling brick.
DAMAGE IN DARLINGTON.
Darlington, May IA severe cy-
clone passed over the upper part OF

ed and several negroes received
minor injuries, the most serious be-
ing a fractured skull of a small girl,
who was taken to a hospital by auto

north of Society Hill, a dwelling
containing number of white people
was severely damaged, but none of
the occupants were fatally injured,

tails from this territory can be OBJ
tanned, as the telephone lines were
destroyed by the storm.
About four miles north of Darling
ton several buildings were destroyed
on the plantations of Messrs j N
Kirven, S Vaughan and B F Candy,
but so far as can be learned no one
