The Newberry campaign committee
MED a statement with the county
clerk at Detroit giving the amount
spent in nominating and electing Mr..
Newberry at s17s.s56, the legal limit
on election expenditures being $4,000.
Mr.. Newberry denied all knowledge
of these contributions, though his
brother gave 100000. He was seated
by the Republican Senate last March

session to pass a resolution for q

DR.. Garfield this morning said that
'the basic necessities will be produc-

ously employed TO prevent pronteering
In coal by either operators or miners" !"
In official circles today il was stat

other representatives Of the Govern
ment have for several days been fully
prepared for this eventuality.
John l.. Lewis, acting president of
the miners, announced At noon today
that he will go into conference with
Samuel Gompers at o'clock. He de-
clined to say what he would take up
with Mr.. Gompers.
Il am going over to pay my re-

Lewis.

''The miners will continue to insist

Wilson, for a 81 per cent increase.
The wage conference in Washington
was called by Secretary Wilson, on
behalf of the Government, and the
miners will continue to recognize him
as the official representative of the
Government in this matter.
1T is deplorable that the confer

ner. The miners are insisting upon a
living wage, and the proposition OF
DR.. Garfield's does not afford that to
them"
Mr.. Lewis was in conference dur

what passed between them.

Entomologist Suggests Ways
of Exterminating the
Pests

The presence of an unusual
number of mosquitoes in the lower
sections of town particularly on
the east side of South College Av-
enue and East Delaware Avenue
for the past few weeks make per-
tinent the following means of ex-
termination suggested in the Phil
adelphia North American by Her.
man Hornig, city entomologist.
Coal oil and gold fish constitute
the prescription:
The goldfish should not be mix
ed with the coal oil, however. They
should be used separately. Gold
fish are fine in fountains and small
pounds decorating the lawns of
suburban homes. They eat mo-
Nsquito eggs almost as fast as Ma
Skeeter can lay them, which calls
for some appetite.
A cup of kerosene in every drain
pipe once a week will do more tc

active of any in the State in de-
veloping and promoting the dairy
industry, will have an educational
exhibit of dairy cattle of special
! interest to everyone interested in
greater milk production per COW
Four or five heifers of good con-
formation and type will be shown

sire. The farm bureau in this ex.
.hibit is driving home their slogan

Apple Growers See
Spraying Demonstration

Professor c. A. Nc. Cue has az
ranged for a meeting of the apple
growers of the state to be held at
large orchard of L. H. Derby at
Woodside, Kent County today at
2 o'clock. They will inspect there
the spraying done by the L. s.
Bureau of Entomology to control
the codling moth.
For several years growers of late
apples have experienced heavy
losses through what they called
nile injury. Last spring the L. s
Bureau of Entomology, co-operat,
ing with the State Experiment
Station, undertook an investigation
Of the trouble, and sent two work
ers, Messrs. Sellkregg and Leach
into the field to study the trouble
These men came to the conclusion
that the trouble was probably dut
to the codling moth, and they pre-
fer spraying methods to hold the
insect in check. Mr.. Shellkregs
has made laboratory studies of tht
insect, while Mr.. Leach has over
seen the practical work in the field
! On Wednesday afternoon they vii
tell the apple growers what they
have found, and Mr.. Leach viii
conduct them through the orchart
and explain the various methods o
