Blight has hit the potato vines
hard and many are turning brown
or dying. A soaking rain would
prolong their vitality and increase
the size of the potatoes. In cases
where the potatoes were planted
early. there are prospects of a fair
crop, but late planted potatoes,
struck by July blight, will produce
too many little ones to make~>s
profitable crop.

NEW YORK PAPER CERMAN-OWNED OFFICIALS STATE Dr. Rumely, Evening Mail Vice President Held on
 Perjury Charge. BAIL AT HEARING
 FIXED AT $35,0OO First Intimation Game Through Inspection of Hun Fiscal Agents Books.

New York, July 9-Assertions that the Evening Mail, placed all his re- cords at the disposal of the depart ment of justice during personal visits to Washington led to bail being fixed at $S5,000 instead of $50,00 as orig ally asked by federal counsel, when ' pr, Rumely was arraigned today be- fore United States Commissioner Hitchcock on a charge of perjury.
 Hearing in the case, involving alle- I gations by the government that the Mail is owned by the German imperia1 government, was deferred for two weeks,
 Through the checking of financial transactions international in scope, by which, 1t is alleged, the New York Evening Mail became the property of the imperial German government, state and federal authorities caused the arrest late yesterday of pr. Ed ward A. Rumely.
 Instead of being Americana owned, as Dr. Rumely, who is vice president, secretary and publisher of the Even ing Mail, is alleged to have stated to A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, the Evening Mail, in fact, according to Merto E. Lewis, state attorney general, and Harold Harper, assistant United States district attor- ney, is owned by the imperial Ger man government.
 The first suspicion that German money paid for the Mail, it is said, came through an examination by fed eral authorities of the books of Hugo Schmidt, the German fiscal agent in this country.
 The money amounting to $1,361,- 900, used in this transaction, which Attorney General Lewis has said haA been carefully traced and checked up, was obtained in this country through the sale of German war loans.
 'The documents in this case" MT. Lewis said, indicate that Rumely purchased the stock of the Mail & Express Co. from Henry L. Stoddard in June, 1915, the money paid to Rumely being drawn from deposits of the German government in various banks in the city of New York, these accounts standing in the name of D6THSlOIllJ ln6 turner dIQDdSSduOr or Germany in Washington, and of pr. Heinrich Albert, who was known, I believe, as the commercial attache of the embassy. The money was drawn from the joint accounts of Bernstorff and Albert.
 "The transfers of the money were concealed in the following manner Dr. Albert procured various banks where the German government had accounts in his own and Bernstorff g names, to issue cashier checks to the order of one Walter Lyon, a member of the former Wall Street firm ot Rensworf, Lyon & Co. This firm in turn paid the money back to Lyon who then transferred it to Rumely We have the checks which figured in these various transfers
 Henry L. Stoddard, president ot the Mail & Express Co.,, announced that the bond holders would take charge of the paper today.

SAILORS
 WHO BLEW UP WARSHIP ON TRIAL

Rome, July 9-Three Italian sail DTS and one Italian soldier are on trial by a court martial on 8 charge of having blown up the Italian battle ship Benedetto Erin on Sept. 27, 1916, by placing an internal machine in the gun room. The defendants are Achille Moschini, Guglierno Maito- fini, Mario Azzoni, all bluejackets, and Trooper Giorgio Carpi.
 The Benedetto Erin was blown up in the harbor of Brindisi with the loss of more than 100 lives, including that of Rear Admiral Rubin De Cervin.
 An inquiry by the Italian govern ment developed that the battleship had been destroyed through the machination of German agents and 40 persons were arrested.
 An Italian named Ambrogetti, inn plicated in the destruction of the Benedetto Erin and of the Italian bat tieship Leonardo da Vinci, was arrest ed and asserted that he was the fnan- cia1 agent of Monsignor Gerlach, pri- vate chamberlain to Pope Benedict and an Austrian citizen. Gerlach fled from Italy before an Italian court had investigated his activities, found him guilty of espionage and sentenced him to imprisonment for life.

ASKS FOR TENNIS
 COURTS AT HIGH
 SCHOOL BUILDING

Arthur Lee, principal of the High school, suggested at the meeting of the board of education last night that tennis courts be placed at the school in the stead of the lawn. The best spot for these courts would be on the Congress street side of the school be- tween the building and the fence. This idea is sure to prove profitable to the pupils if carried out and it would be of great benefit for exercise.
 MT, Lee also asked that gates be placed on the stairs in the building so persons attendings athletic games and dances in the gymnasium cannot roam about the building as has been done in the past. These matters were referred to the committee on schools.
 The principal also asked that 12 more typewriters be purchased for use in the high school. He said that he thought that prices would be higher in the fall than at present.
 The list of books suggested for study in the high school was read but will be taken up at the next regular meeting when MT. Slawson, superin- tendent of schools, will be present.
