THE WAR TAX SITUATION
 TIGHTENS STOCK DEALING

New York, Aug. 15.-Lacking more obvious or convincing reasons, traders attributed the further contraction of stock dealings today to firmer money tendencies and growing confusion over the war tax situation.
 Call money continued to rule at 6 per cent. and time funds held at the same figure on a paucity of offerings. Local banks again called loans to meet the final instaiiment on the third Lib erty loan.
 Pools abandoned their bullish tactics in all but few specialties, probably because of their failure to enlist the slightest outside support Marine pre- ferred ignored the submarine menace by advancing an extreme of 2 3-4 points. the common shares and per cent. bonds also scoring substantial gains.
 Marine directors were scheduled to meet later in the day and the rise in the company's issues may have an- ticipated definite action on the sale of it's British assets.
 American Hide and Leather pre- ferred gained 2 3-4 points, the common also coming forward in the last hour with Central Leather, while General Motors made a sudden jump of four points.
 U. g. Steel, Reading, Union Pacific and some of the usual favorites were irregular at best, rails mad industrials as whole lacking definite trend Oils and tobaccos were among the other uncertain quantities. Sales were 275, 900 shares.

A colony of American jockeys is now livirg in Spain, according to a Madrid newspaper. They are located at San Sebastian in the Sunny Land" and to judge by the reports of their doings they are rolling in wealth.
 There is Frankie O'Neill who has a profitable retainer from W. K Van derbilt, and racing or not he gets the money. Others are Johnny Reiff and Lucien Lyme, the one time Eel gian crack" and the brigade has of late been reinforced by Milton Henry McGhee, Garner and, Archibald.
 Lyme is considered exceptionally lucky as he rode and won on King Alfonso's horse in the opening race of the season. The Spanish king races under the name of Due de Toledo. Reiff was in Frisco, but Bod Denman sent for him, and it did not take long for the jockey to brave the submarines and to head for a land where racing is in full swing. -.-.-

WILL THIS sUqPLANT THAMES?

Many good words were spoken by rowing authorities of both Yale and Harvard for the Housatonic river course, which was tried out for the Yale Harvard varsity two-mile race in a series of interviews secured by the Yale News. Among those who ap- proved the course were Referee w. A. Meikelham,. A H. Swayne, Judge Andtimer, Coach Mather Abbott, of the Yale crew and Coach Haines, of Harvard.
 The use of the Housatonic river for a race draws attention here how ever, to the possibility of a course further up that stream, which may be available within two years. The river is being damned for industrial purposes at Zoar's Bridge, and when the new basin is filled, there will be a lake at least half mile wide and eleven miles long.

Albany, N. r. Jan. M.-Citizenship was
restored to-day by Governor Whitman
to former Congressman William Willett
of Queens county. who served prison
sentence and paid fine upon conviction
OF having attempted. In 1911, to purchase
the nomination for supreme court Justice
ship from "Curly Joe" Cassidy. then
democratic leader of the county. Cassidy.
who also served a term In prison and
maid a fne, was restored to citizenship
last year. Champ Clark. speaker Of the
House Of Representatives. was one Of
many man who requested the Governor to
e-enfranchise Willett.
Willett was sentenced On February l..
1914 to pay fine Of $1,000 and to a prison
term of not less than year or more
than a year and a half. Legal delays
in connection with his appeal deferred
the beginning of his imprisonment for
many months. and when he was released
In July, 1915, ne had served little more
than his minimum term.
Sneaker Clark's letter, dated April 20.
1917 which was given out by the Gov
crnor to-day along with many others when
the restoration was announced follows:
1T join with many other citizens in ask
ing you to restore William Willett Of
Far Rockaway. New York. to his citizen
ship. II seems to me that no good can
be accomplished from still Furnishing Mr..
Willett. served In the House with him
and found him to be an intelligent and
an able man and. as far as was able
to ascertain, he was an honest one. SO
hope his citixenship will be restored
to him."

amount of poison used is increased to
10 pounds to 100 gallons Of water. II the
infestation is more serious. a second
spraying early in June. using a similar
amount of poison, will be found very
satisfactory. In cases where the infes-
tation is severe 1t probably will be nec-
essary to creosote egg clusters in the
winter and spray in the spring II the
insect Is to be controlled. In any case
thoroughness is a prime essential II good
results are to be secured.
All poor OF hollow trees should be re-
moved. and II badly infested woodland
is near by. the orchard trees should be
banded with the sticky substance pre-
yiously mentioned or with tree-banding
material. Orchard infestations can be
managed by following up these methods.
and It will not require much additional
expense or a great deal Of extra work
to protect the trees. In making this
statement II Is assumed that the orchard
is being cared for by up-to-date methods
for protection from the codling moth and
other Injurious insects and diseases, and
II is improbable that these results can
be brought about in neglected orchards
or where the owners do not practice the
best horticultural methods In handling
their growing trees. +'
