Ralsa Ichneumon Flies.

The most destructive enemy of the cabbage and related crops Is the cab bage butterfly. This lays its eggs upon a cabbage leaf; the eggs hatch into green caterplllars and these eat the leaves. In 1885, says the Journal of Heredity, an ichneumon fly was im- ported from Europe to keep the cab bage butterfly in check. The fly lays it's eggs in the body of the caterpillar, the larvae which hatch from these eggs eat the caterpillar's insides, cut their way out through the empty skin and spin cocoons from which the files emerge.

SPECTER OF GREAT LAKES
Many Sailor Imagnes He Sees the Bannockburn Which Disappeared
 in Mysterious Fashion.

One Superstition that is firmly navigators concerns the mysterious wreck of the Bannockburn.

For more than a year the chill water of Lake Superior guard ed we'll their secret. Then one day an oar was found floating along the driftwCOd of the bleak north shore. A piece of tarpaulin was wrapped se- curely around it, and when this was removed it was found that the word Bannockburn was scraped into the wood. The oar is all that remains to- day to tell the story of the missing freighter.
 According to the queer twist given the story by the sailors of the inland seas, the Bannockburn is supposed to be the Flying Dutchman of the Great Lakes. Sometimes at night, when the chill north wind sweeps across the swollen bosom of Lake Superior and the stinging ice devils fill the air, the lookout on some lonely point calls loudly to his companions and points to where he imagines the Bannock- burn, all white with ice and ghastly in the darkness is shining through the black mystery of the lake,"

The bald-headed eagle is a sea-eagle selected as the national emblem of the United States. Its markings are famil- far, though the term bald" is to be referred, not to the absence of feath- CTS, but to the effect produced by the white feathers on. the head. In size, 1t corresponds nearly to the golden eagle whose length is about three feet and extent of wing seven feet. The bald headed eagle lives mainly upon the fish which it seiZes along the seashore and around lakes and rivers. The nest is built on a high treetOp or upon rocky cliff The eagle is used as an emblem on coins of the value of guar, ter and above.

Threatens Criminal Pro-
CeedlngS Against Captain
WIchert, Formerly OF tho
IT.. Noeau

Captain Carl Wichert, for.
mer master of the Inter Island
vessel Noeau, was accused of
perjury this afternoon by
Commissioner w. T. Garden in
a meeting Of the public utih-
ties commission, and warned
that it was the power and duty
of the commission to bring
criminal proceedings against
him.
You have committed per-
jury before this commission,
Garden told the captain, you
have told the commission
things which you knew to be
f. Use"
Wichert hesitated before answering,
finally declaring that conflicting tes-
timony Of the previous hearing had
been given because he had forgotten.
He had not made the conflicting state
ments deliberately, he said.
Commissioner A. J. Gignoux, as act.
ing chairman, informed Wichert that
investigation OF the perjury charge
would be made at a later date.
The incident arose after the witness
had admitted that he had told Judge
Whitney, attorney for the Inter.lsland
Company, that he had blundered on
previous testimony; that he had him
self taken, Matutu, q boat steerer, to
the federal Inspectors in an attempt
to get papers for him. At the last
meeting Wichert told the commission
that Matutu had papers at the time

The story given the StarBulletin to,

At 11:45 o'clock on the night Of the
primary election Of May 10 one Of the
Democrats found block Of 80 unused

Mr.. Stainback arrived at Democratic
headquarters at about ~: 80 a. m. The
ballots were turned over to him, sealed
and witnessed by McCandless and
Bryan. ::
I'VE then requested the attorney
general to ascertain from what source
the ballots came" said Mr.. Bryan,
and he said he would undertake to
do this We want to make it plain
that within IS minutes after these Of
fetal ballots were found, they we're
in the hands Of the encouragement. ,
Bourbons Seek Reason
II is GAINED at Democrauc mead
quarters that if these ballots did not
come from the official list, they were
extras, and the Bourbon candidates
want to know why, if they were from
the official list, they were thus scat
tered about
Thet ballots are now locked in the
safe of the Encouragement He said
today that Immediately after they
were placed in his hands, he wrote to
Clerk Kalauokalani asking him for a
statement on the final checking up of
the ballots. He added that Kalauoka-

ELECTION EVE IS
SIGNAL FOR MANY |
poLI!!1 4 CHARGES !!

Republicans and Democrats close
their city campaign tonight, and the
feature of the closing daysis the loos-
ing of charges and counter-charges by
the embattled campaigners.
The Democrats today sprung instn-
uatfons Of baIlot-box "stuffing' and
primary irregularities, against their
G. o. P. opponents. The Bourbons also
declare that the Republicans have col
Iected a huge campaign fund which
will be used tonight and tomorrow on
voters who haven't made up their
minds how to cast their ballots.
Unqualified and explicit denial Is
given these charges by the Republi-
cans. In fact, the outsider who has
been following the Democratic cam
paign and heard the statements Of
various Democratic orators, pays lit
tie attention to the assertions, consid.
ering them part Of the political game"
Republican leaders declare that the
Democrats have resorted to allegations
of almost unparalleled viciousness,
notably in their attacks on E A. Mott
Smith, who has been charged with
running banana and taro fields when
he was president Of the board OF
health. It is declared by the Republi-
cans that the eleventh-hour charges
now voiced b. the Democrats are part
of their desperate effort to turn the
tide in their favor.
Col. ]. W. Jones, Of the Republican
finance committee, made unqualified
denial this morning Of the freely-circu,
lated Democratic charge concerning a
"slush fund"
TT is a deliberate lie and merely
shows the wildly impossible nature OF
the Democratic campaign material. "
he said.
It is a known fact that neither party
has spent any large sums in the pres
ent campaign. The absence OF the
paid runner"-cften a conspicuous
feature in Honolulu campaigns-has
been noticed. Last week managers OF
both parties told the Star-Bulletin that
the number Of paid party employees Is
unprecedentedly small.
Republicans today are confident Of
winning most of the contested places.
They feel sure that John Lane will be
reelected incorporating the Repub-
lican vote turns out. His majority Is
variously estimated at from 500 to
1000 votes. Joe Ferns campaign Is
said to nave been losing ground in the
past week and it is known that several
Of his party associates have asked him
to abandon the "fish-and-flour' line
Of speech, since, they said, it was max
