ELEcTRocUTlNG INSECTS.

A process has just been developed
in the department of agriculture by
means of which insects and pests may
be killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application of salt wa
ter to the ground that is to be treated
and then causing current of electric
ity to be passed through the soil. This
current generates a gas which will in
stantly kill all germs, larvae and in
sect pests in the soil without in any
way iniurng the vegetation. A large
area of ground can be treated by dig
ging shallow trenches in which a pow
erful current will he developed.

THEY MAY LOSE CROP

Budapest June 27-Realizing that
q record crop can easily be turned
overnight into partial FAILURE, the
Hungarian agricultural authorities

been empowered to requisition the ser
vices OF every man. woman and child
at home. not serving the state In
some indispensable way, at fixed
wages. Prisoners of war working IN

SENATE DECIDES
TO DRAFT GUARD

Washington, D. c., June PLATTER
one of the most stirring debates In a
decade the senate last night passed
the Hay resolution declaring the ex-
istence Of an emergency in the rela-
tons of the United States and Next
co and authorizing the president to
draft the national guard into the fed
eral service for such use as he may
care to put It TO meet the situation.
Just prior to the passage of the
resolution Senator Sherman OF Illinois
offered an amendment to the effect
that. instead Of an emergency, "a
state of war exists between the Unit
ed States and the de facto government
Of Mexico" '.... .......a 1885,.
The offering Of this amendment rails
ed a commotion in the senate such as
has not been seen in many years.
Administration leaders leaped from
their seats to demonstrate with the
Illinoisan and to urge him to with.
draw his motion. ..... ..s...
After wrangling for nearly an hour
the senate voted down tho Sherman
amendment without = roll call. Then
1t passed the emergency resolution
with provision instructing the sec
rotary of war to accept the resigna
tons of any national guardsmen who
have families dependent on them fol-
support and who wish to resign.
Bar Pay for Families.
Senators Lewis of Illinois, Reed OF
Missouri, Hitchcock Of Nebraska and
Smith Of Georgia made an Intellectual
effort to have the measure approved
as 1t passed the house, providing pay
of $50 a month for the dependent fam
lilies of guardsmen. They were beat
en-, 80 to As.
A motion Of Senator Lewis to give
the guardsmen chance to resign OF
serve with pay for his family, as he
chose, was defeated, II to So.
The resolution, as amended by the
senate. now goes back to the house
where it is said leaders will insist
upon the pay for the guardsmen fea
ture which was beaten In the senate
Monday. A deadlock Is likely to re
suit. to break which President Wilson
probably will be called upon for assist
ance. ..
House Dlsaurees.
The house today, by vote Of 119 t.
S, disagreed to the senate amendment
to the Hay militia drafting resolution
eliminating a million dollar relief ap
preparation for dependent families OF
enlisted guardsmen in the federal mill
tary service. A conference on the
resolution was asked.

they have given wonderful service in
the Philippines, in the Boxer uprising
in China, in Vera Cruz and in fact
wherever they have gone into action.
The only trouble with the marines IL
that there is not enough of them. The
few thousands that this country pos
sesses are as capable force as can he
found on earth but there Is no reserve
and no prospect of raising the number
permitted by law to a point where it
could compete with an army.

LECTURER COOKS,
EATS AND SLEEPS
IN HIS AUTOMOBILE
Arthur Delroy, New York, Does
Not Patronize the Hotels or
Garages-Spoke in Augusta
Saturday Evening

Hotels and garages receive no pat
York, who gave a Phychic Melange
Saturday evening at the Community
Chautauqua, and if all the auto tour
lists wore equipped so completely as
this man it is certain that the hotels
along his route would fare badly fl
nancially.
All autoists will be interested in the
method Mr.. Delroy uses to go from
stand to stand at the Chautauquas. He
has big touring car, which looks
the same as any other car of that
make. There is difference. however,
and that difference means that Mr..
Delroy is independent of hotels, for
he is actually carrying his home with
him.
The car is so arranged that Mr.. Del
roy and his companion, Fred Oster-
ly, can sleep each night in it, take
out a small kerosene stove no larger
than wash basin and prepare their
own meals. There is in the car COL
lapsible bathtub and the men can heat
the water for it on their stove in 10
minutes. The front seat of the car
{ NUS up " lOI III d ldDle ItOODl tIOuSH
is given so that the cushions of the
back seat can be brought out and in
short order there are two Pullman
berths. as Mr.. Delroy calls them. In
the day time the bedding is put into
black silkateen covers and becomes a
pillow to lean against when riding.
The tools have been taken from the
toolboX and that has been fitted up
as refrigerator with ice compart-
ments. This is large enough to hold
a days supplies for the two men. The
car is fitted with thermos bottles also.
| The lecturer carries with him a
folding typewriter, which does good
work. and a medicine chest. which is
about the size of a Brownie camera
but is large enough to contain every
thing as suitable remedy for ordi-
nary ailments.
| Mr.. Delroy scorns garages as he
does hotels and every night when he
arrives at the place where he is to lee
ture, his companion has to hustle
around and find suitable place to
park the car.
| The idea of camping out in the car
came to Mr. Delroy because a New
York doctor to whom he had to go
advised him to live out Of doors all
that was possible and that life in the
open in the country would help him
get his lost health back again. The
! lecturer says that it is not that he
loves the hotels and the garages the
less but that he enjoys and loves liv-
ing altogether in the big touring car
the more.
The speaker stated that all of this
talk about the poor Maine roads was
nonsense and that he would have a
Maine road any day than Long ISL
mad road. which is often broken up by
the wet weather.

SALLEE
is SOLD TO N. Y.

St. Louis, July 16-Harry Sallee. who
quit the ST. Louis Nationals while the
team was in New York recently, was
sold today to New York for a cash con-
sideration. 1t is understood that the St.
Louis club received $4,000.
New York assumed the back salary
which has accrued since the pitcher left
ST Louis. The new owners also agreed
to pay the 500 fine assessed against Sal
lee for his desertion.
No announcement was made as to
whether Sallee had signed A new contra It
with New York of whether the new own
ers had assumed the st. Louis contract,
which calls for $1,000 a season.
Manager McGraw said Sallee probably
would pitch his first game for New York
against Chicago. where New York opens
Wednesday.
