HESS|AN FLY NOW
Heavy Damage to the Growing
Wheat Crop Reported from
Sumner County.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES RUINED
Pest Said to Be Especially Bad Around
WeIIington-The Saline Fields
Affected, Too.

The presence of the Hessian fly in
the growing wheat in practically all
parts of Sumner county has been es-
tablished The pest is especially bad
in the immediate vicinity of Yelling
ton, where thousands of acres have
been given up by their owners as not
worth harvesting.
In the west and southwest portions
of the county the damage seems to be
less, but even there the yield will be
greatly cut down. The prospect for a
large crop was exceptionally good up
to the time the presence of the fly was
discovered
The Hessian fly is causing much
damage to the wheat fields of Salina
county, according to farmers. Several
fields in the southern part of the coun-
ty are affected and some are seing
listed in corn. Little damage is re
ported from other parts.
May wheat took a leap upward Of
Az to cents a bushel on the Kansas
City board of trade and new crop"
wheat, which will be marketed in July
and September, advanced and 6a4
cents a bushel, making an advance in
price on new crop" wheat of at least
10 cents in the last few days.
A week ago the wheat fields in the
neighborhood of Eff1ngham began
turning yellow An examination by
Prof. C. H Taylor, county farm demon
strator, revealed what appears to be
a new insect pest. From twelve to
fifteen small maggots and countless
eggs were attached to the bases of
each stalk. district of six square
miles is affected Some farmers are
blowing up their fields. Experts from
Manhattan have been sent for.

Mr.. TAFT ADVISES GALMNESS
Former Executive Urges Citizens &c
Stand by President Wilson in
Present Crisis.

Philadelphia, May 12-Ex-President
Taft urged patience and calmness in
the present international situation and
called on the citizens Of the country tc
stand by President Wilson in an ad-
dress at the Union League here to-
night. Referring to the sinking of the
Lusitania, Professor Taft said the
'inhumanity of the circumstances in
the case presses US on, but in the heat
OF even just indignation is not the
best time to act, when action involves
such momentous consequences and
means untold loss Of life and treasure"
There are things worse than war"
Mr.. Taft declared, but delay-du to
calm elaboration cannot change the
situation or minimize the effect of
what we finally conclude to do. With
the present condition Of the war in
Europe our action, if it is to be ex-
treme, will not lose efficacy by giving
time to people, whose war it will be,
to know what they are facing.
Responsibilities of a President.
Under our constitution the Presi-
dent conducts our foreign affairs until
Congress finds it necessary to declare
war. Upon him is the acute response
bility in such a crisis
But we must bear in mind that if
we have a war if is the people who
must pay with lives and money the
cost of it, and therefore they should
not be hurried into the sacrifice until
it is clear that they wish it, and know
what they are doing when they
wish if"

JOHN D. VICTOR IN TAX SUIT
Cleveland Judge Restraints Officials
From Collecting $1,5oo,ooo of
Oil Magnate's Money.

Cleveland, o., May 14.-John D.
Rockefeller yesterday won his injunc-
ton suit to restrain Cuyahoga coun-
ty from collecting taxes on 1911 ,O00,-
900 worth of intangible property. The
tax amounted to $1,5OO,OOO Federal
Judge Clark granted the injunction,
rendering a decision covering nineteen
closely typewriter pages.
The assessment which is held IN
valid, was made in February, 1914,
when tax commissioners visited the
Rockefeller summer home at Forest
Hill here. They served papers on the
on king which alleged that he had re-
NAMED in the county more than six
months of the tax year and therefore,
under the Ohio law, was a resident
of Ohio for taxation purposes.
Judge Clark decided that Rockefel-
1er's contention that he intended to
leave Cleveland in October, 1913, in
stead of remaining here until Febru-
airy 8, 1914, due to the illness Of Mrs.
Rockefeller and her sister, Miss Lucy
Spelman, was a valid excuse and did
not make him an Ohio resident under
the meaning of the law.

Burcham of Kansas City went to the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas depot here

whereupon the fleeing man turned and
shot, the bullet striking the patrol
man in the hip. The next bullet from

LONDON MOBS ATTACK ALIENS
Angry British Demand Internment Of
All Teutonie citizens-Many Shops
PiIiaged by Rioters.

London, May 13.-The following Pc
tition, signed by thousands of Britons.
viii be placed in the hands of Prime
Minister Asquith tomorrow:
Thousands of citizens OF London
gathered together at a mass meeting
to unanimously protest against any
kith and kin Of German mutilators,
prisoners and murderers of men, WO-
men and children being any longer
allowed to be at large in the British
islands, and, fearing riots, fires, the
spread of disease germs and poisoned
water, hereby unanimously demand
that the government take immediate
steps to intern or deport all alien en-
emies, male or female, whatever their
nationality, naturalized or otherwise.
The sinking of the steamer Lusi-
tania has aroused to a violent climax
the smouldering hatred and suspicion
Of Germans living in England. This
animosity has found expression during
the last twenty-four hours in attacks
on Germans, principally upon their
shops in the poor quarters of London
and Liverpool, while there have been
minor disturbances in Manchester,
Birkenhead, Glasgow and few other
places.
Many German shops had their win
dows smashed and some were piISged.
The proprietOrs of the shops generally
were driven away by angry crowds.
None of the persons attacked are re-
ported to have been seriously injured,
but a considerable number were more
or less beaten and had their clothes
torn. One or two shops have been set
on fire by the rioters
A spontaneous movement has devel-
oped in the London market to boycott
subjects of enemy countries and small
dealers, who appeared for supplies to-
day, were refused them and a number
of them were driven away by crowds.
