two weeks work by 25 entomologists

nouncement today and said the en-
tomologists have gone to ten oil mills
in Texas which received cotton seed
from Mexico prior to the establish
ment of the quarantine November /,
1917. Cotton was uprooted and burned
from 105 acres within a half mile OF
the Hearne oil mill from which the
worm is supposed TO have escaped from
cotton seed brought from Mexico.

to his convictions, Charles H. Ebbets,
president of the Brooklyn National

nearer the goal of Sunday baseball in
the state OF New York. Yesterday he
announced he had obtained the in

In addition to the weight that will
go with the public statement of these
candidates Ebbets has the distinc-
ton Of being the first man ever to get
an expression from candidate on the
subject OF Sunday baseball.
For years the Brooklyn magnate
has labored for a law that would
permit Sunday schedules in the east.
He has had a petition constantly at
his baseball park, where fans were
invited to sign a plea for the games.
He sent his team into action recently
in a Sunday pastime for the benefit
OF the militia of mercy. For his
trouble he was arrested and fined.
In his reply to questions by Ebbets
Mayor Mitchell made the following
/ statement:
Il am in favor OF legalizing Sun
day baseball provided that the game.
are held al points and Under condi.
tons which win not outrage the feel.
