Drive on Gardens
ees4EAe1sNa.ssE.

Holding their scientific names before
them as shield, all the bugs that gar.
den truck is heir to are now planning
determined drive on Richmond gar
dens. says Gardener Murphy.
The offensive already has opened
but will grow in intensity for some
time. Fungus diseases also will try
the spirit of the amateur gardener.
The four kinds of insects that are most
to be feared just now are plant lice
cabbage worms, potato bugs and Gu
cumber beetles.
Richmond gardens are holding their
own with the gardens to be seen in
the country near Richmond, according
to Murphy.

General Petain has resumed his
dashing operation on the Aisne front
and today reports a brilliant success
for his troops in a surprise attack
north of Hurtebise.
The entire first line of the strong
German position there was carried
and held against counter-attacks. The
Germans were badly cut up besides
losing more than 800 men in prisoners.
1t is in this sector between Creoanne
and Cerny, that the most feasible route
lies to the German fortress at Laon,
the vital part of this whole German
line on the French line.

MELLEN RECEIVES
] s95, 600 AWARD
FROM N. H. ROAD
Judge Parker Orders Com
promise In Suit for
$155, 900

New York, July 12-Alton B. Park
er arbitrator in the case of Charles
S.. Mellen against the New Haven
Railroad. has given a compromise
decision, it was learned yesterday.
According to Judge Parker's award,
the railroad company is released from
the fve-year contract for Mr.. Mellen
to act in an advisory capacity, but it
must indemnify him for expense oc-
Cured in defending himself in pro-
ceedings brought in connection with
the railroad company. On the two
counts Mr.. Mellen tried to collect
$155, 900. By Judge Parkers award
he is entitled to $4,000.
Morgan J. O'Brien, who with AL
bert B. Boardman handled the case
for the railroad company, said last
night the company wound pay y 9
award without further litigation.
Judge Parker found that Mr.. Mel
len on July IS, 1913, entered into a
contract with the company whereby
the company desires to secure his
services in an advisory capacity for a
period Of five years and promises to
pay him therefor $4,000 per year,
which. proposition Mellen accept
ed
| Z
seems to justify the holding that he
waived the right the contract gave
him to demand and receive the an
nuaI. retainer, and that the New Ha-
ven Co. accepted and acted upon that
waiver
The contract, continued Judge
Parker, was published at a tife when
neither the plaintiff nor the defend
ant was popular with the press or the
public. and its making caused consid-
cradle criticism. To relieve the direc-
tors from this criticism, Mr.. Meilen
wrote a letter which read:
upon mature reflection T have de-
| cided that I will not accept the COM
pensation agreed to be paid to me
under our contract, the contract to
remain in full force and effect In all
f! other respects"
| The New Haven Co. acted upon his
| letter as a waiver of his right to de-
l mand $4,000 yearly. Therefore -
