PLOT ON FOOT TO RESCUE
YOUNG GERMAN PIRATE?
Ernest Schiller Removed From
Delaware to New York
Jail for Safe Keeping

PHILADELPHIA, April Ernest
Schiller, who forcibly took command of
the British steamer Matoppo on the
high seas last Wednesday night, passed
through Philadelphia early today in
custody of detectives who were taking
him TO New York. He was removed from
the jail at Lewes. Del. last night, the
detectives claiming they had received
information that a plot was on foot to
rescue him.
British Vice Consul Ford who went to
Lewes yesterday, but who arrived after
Schiller had been taken away, stated
that he was at a loss to explain the ac-
tion of the detectives and local authori-
ties who agreed to let the man go. Mr..
Ford said he believes Schiller will have
to be returned to Delaware for trial.
Schiller talked freely on the train to
New York and was anxious to learn
whether the four accomplices who he
said had agreed to assist him in what
he termed a privateering expedition had
gotten on board another steamer. He
had arranged with these men, he SAID,
to capture the steamer FL Sparto, which
he believed was to sail from New York
for Mediterranean ports with passen-
gers and several thousand pounds in
english money.
Schiller frankly admitted according
to the police that he was the leader OF
a plot TO blow up a Cunard liner in New
York. He said he persuaded four men
to join him and that they planned to
board the ship, take possession Of her at
sea and destroy her. The plot was not
carried cot. Schiller said, because his
confederates got cold feet"

and he went to live with his mother in
Germany.
At the outbI eak of the war he said he
went to England and obtained work at d
submarine plant at Cumberland. He stole
some submarine plans and turned them
over to the Germans. He was arrested,
escaped and came to America. Schiller
turned over to the police the Matoppo's
papers and 500 in English money which
he said ne had taken from the captain.

Lice may be destroyed on cattle to
the best advantage by the use OF one
OF the alkaline coal-tar products. When
these materials are added TO water
they produce a milky emulsion that is
very efficient in destroying animal par
asites and is not irritating to the ami
NAL. These coal-tar products are put
on the market under great variety OF
names. Creolin is a familiar one. They
can be used effectively in the proportion
of one quart of the medicine to fifty
parts of water. In extra bad cases one
part of the medicine may be used 20
thirty parts of water. The animal
should be sprayed very thoroughly or
we'll wet all over with mop before
applying the solution. Every part OF
the body must be effectively covered
with the solution. The treatment should
be repeated in the course of few days
The stalls, managers and rubbing posts
should also be sprayed with the solu-
ton. All loose material, litter ana
trash should be thoroughly burned. Dur
ing this treatment, the animal shoulu
be we'll supplied with good food.

carriers which we have used ina the past
are difficult to obtain this year and very
high i'm price, so after AL one Of the best
combinations you can use is 1000
pounds of cotton seed meal and 1000
pounds of acid phosphate. Where one
desires to make 1000 to 1900 pounds
of seed cotton per acre liberal tertill-
cation should be practised and we would
advise you to use a minimum OIL 900
pounds of the above per acre. If the
land is i'm good condition we should not
hesitate to put all of the fertilizer on
at the time of planting. Otherwise we
would put 500 pounds down at the time
of planting and 200 pounds after you
chop the cotton to a stand.
We have found Cooks variety very
good one in our test plats here but
somewhat inclined to be injured by an
thracnose. Bottom land should be
plowed very thoroughly for corn. We
doubt if you can secure anything better
for corn on this land than 500 pounds
of cotton seed meal mixed with 2oO
pounds of acid phosphate.
