emulsion, The former Is the more
effective, and also more convenient
to use Either CT these can be used
in com bination with arsenate of lead
sprays, but remember that in order
to be effective they must come into
direct contact with the insect to be
effective.
Protection Against Blight
In addition to the insects, there
are several diseases which frequently
cause trouble, such as late potato
blight, tomato rot" bean rust" ="
etc. There is no satisfactory cure
for any of these fungus diseases once
they become established, but spray
ing with Bordeaux protects the un-
affected parts, and if done in time
may ward off the trouble altogether.
AS simple and effective a plan for
garden protection as can be had
therefore is to spray all crops that
are likely to be attacked with a COM
bination of arsenate of lead and Bor-
deauX mixture. Apply often enough
to keep new growth covered-eVery
ten days or so. To this spray add
nicotine extract or kerosene emul-
sion whenever sucking insects are
present.

BILLSCALL HALT
TO TREACHERY
Provide Cancellation of Nat
uralization, Deportation
and Internment

Washington, d. c., Aug. 14.-Leg-
islation aimed to break up the activi-
ties of the 1. w. w. and pro-Ger-
man agitation was introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator King,
of Utah. He offered two bills, both
of which were referred to the judici-
airy committee.
One of the bills would provide for
the cancellation of naturalization pa
pers of pro-German Americans and
the other would place restrictions on
the publication in foreign language
newspapers of comment of the for
eign policy and the conduct of the
war.
Any person naturalized within the
past twenty years who speaks, ut
ters, prints or publishes words or
statements in their nature or intent
disloyal to the government of the
United States or which shall tend
to incite sedition and insurrection or
impede the prosecution of the war or
of laws relating to the same" would
be deemed to have secured his ma
turalization papers by fraud "and
shall be deemed to have taken the
oath of allegiance to the United
States mala fide and with a mental
reservation to retain a qualified allie
glance to the foreign Prince, gov
ernment or potentate to which he
owed allegiance at the time of TAX
ing such oath under the provisions
of one of the bills.
Subject to Deportation
Persons whose citizenship papers
are cancelled under the provisions OF
the bill would be subject to deporta-
tion or internment.
The other bill would forbid the
printing of comment on the govern
ment's foreign policy or the conduct
of the war in a foreign language
| without printing in a parallel, column
complete and true translation ot
the comment. Newspapers failing
| to conform to this provision would
be barred from the mails and i
would be unlawful to transport oil
| distribute them. A fine of $500 ant
| Imprisonment of one year is provided
as the penalty for violation of the
| provisions of the bill.

Some fifty years ago the family of
| William Dcvery, living in a tenement
district of New York City, received
news that their favorite sons name
had been added to the list of mem
bers of the New York police force.
That was back in the old days
when Boss" Tweed ruled our first
city, and Big Bill''-for as such was
young Devery known - received
schooling in the tactics of the. police
under the man who later served a
prison sentence for graft.
big BilI' DeVery was adroit men,
tally as we'll as physically, and his
advancement on the force was swift.
Year by year he stepped a rung high
er until at the end of fifteen years he
won the highest niche in the depart
ment-that of Chief of Police, un-
der Mayor Van Wyck.
Mayor Van Wyck ws what he
termed "liberal-minded," and al
though the administration of police
affairs under the supervision of big
Bill" rapidly grew in disfavor with
the better elements of the town, he
was fond of chara cterizing the police
! head as the best police chief New
York ever had"
New York didn't hold the same
idea, however, especially when citi-

ond street become a restricted area
where vice abounded.
Their protests were unheeded, and
big BilT' continued in office. Mean
while his bank account grew month
| ly more plethoric. Attempts at re-
venge of disgruntled lawbreakers,
iritated at being 2forced to divide
their money, were futile. "Off with
| their heads was the order, and they
soon were no more dangerous.
The end finally came, however.
Official investigation of Devery's S
reign brought before the public the
! fact that the city was suffering from
| immortality such as had not been
witnessed since Boss Tweed's hey
! day.
Tammany wGs unable to save Dev-
cry, as it went down to defeat at the
next election. He was indicted on
numerous counts, but the charges
were dismissed, and, while further
evidence was being sought, Tam

DeVery again became chief.
In 1901 ne was legislated out of
office, but was Immediately appoint
ed Deputy Commissioner. In reality
he was actual head of affairs as the
Commissioner was a physical wreck.
Just when he had started to place
the Tenderloin on it's old basis, Tam
many found out it could not stom-
ach him, and in 1903 Devery was
ousted for good.
