DAY NURSERY PLANS.
TAG SALE SATURDAY.
Institution Faces Monthly Def.
icit of S100, Trustees
Announce.

In order to raise funds for carry
ing on the work OF the Day Nursery
at 1135 New Jersey avenue north
west, trustees of the institution to-
day decided to hold tag ady Satur-
day.
Mothers living in Washinsto al.
leys and who are Obliged to work
during the day arc the chief patrons
of the nursery. The attendance is
frequently more than forty a day.
The children are fed and nursed. and
receive training in morals and good
manners. Those who arc old enough
are sent to kinderGartcns and primary
schools in the vicinity OF The nursery.
the mothers are advised as to the
proper care and training OF the chill
dren, and improvement OF home con-
ditions.
The nursery has been n operation
for eight years. Tho income today is
less, by more than 800 a month, than
the running expenses.
1t is hoped that sufficient funds can
be raised by the sale OF tags to con-
tinue the nursery and to star. a fund
toward buying home for the insti-
tuition.

'BACK-TO-|RELAND'
PROMOTER IS HERE
Kilkenny Urges Sons Of Erin to
Keep kinship Ties Firm BY
Visiting Ireland.

Francis J. Kilkenny, formerly an
assistant In the onice OF the Comp
troller of the Currency. but now a
Chicago investment broker. called Al
the Waite House today In the interest
OF his "Back-to-Irelsnd" movement
which was begun several years ago.
lie has made nve trips TO ireland
since he left the Government service
and is indefatigsble in his activities.
The idea OF the back k-to-Ireisnd
movement Is imperishable." said Kill
kenny. cit is something every loyal
Irishman should cherish, as those who
have come to America should return
to their native land. even though Tor
a visit, IN order that there may be an
exchange OF thought and the ties OF
kinship kept secure"
Kilkenny Is in nowise a radical, but
rather believes in peaceful means and
diplomacy to solve the problem that
Is so perplexing.
mo country in Europe possesses
greater interest for the homesoer on
pleasure bent. or the student or his
tory, than the little green island In
the northern Atlantic, whose history
and romance are intertwined In the
hearts OF so many people OF the
United States" said Kilkenny.
"Christisn men and women OF all
lands owe Ireland a debt OF gratitude
which they now can repay with their
deep sympathy. their substance and
their prayers"

HIGHER WAGES
OR COPS QUIT
Police Force Threatened BY
Adverse Action on Appro-
priati0ns Bill.

Wholesale designations OF police
men are threatened II Congress falls
to pass the District appropriations
bill. which carries increases In pay
and q bonus for members Of the de-
pertinent.
II has only been the anticipation
of the increases in pay that has kept
scores OF policemen in service AZ
presen. there are more than iOo
vacancies in the department. due to
the low scale OF wages now being
paid. The District Houst and Senate
committees recommended increases
which would mean anywhere from
$25 to $50 n month additional in the
pay envelopes of the department. but
the failure of Congress TO pass the
District appropriations bill will de-
feat this purpose.
1.-THE situation is serious" said Maj.
Harry Gessford. superintendent of
police. There are scores of skilled
men In the police department who
could earn more money at their
trades"
The majority OF the policemen have
families to support and II has been
necessary for them TO do outside work
TO meet expenses. The traffic squad
composed chiefly OF young men, will
be seriously affected unless Congress
passes the bill.
Chauffeurs in the department also
have threatened to quit. They say
they can get more money as private
or autotruck drivers than the depart
ment pays.
The same situation exists in the fire
department. the members OF which
will be affected If the bill is not
passed before Congress adjourns Sat
urday.
Gessford, two officers exchanged
their equipment for their pay checks.
The situation is serious, l do hope
that Congress passes the bill before
adjourning. With the increases, / do
not believe we will experience much
difficulty in obtaining men OF desir-
able type"

FRANCE HEARS GERMANY
HAS ARMY OF 100000

PARIS, June 3.-Germany has one
million soldiers for military use
against Poland and France, according
to the Berlin correspondent of I'm
transigeant to-day. The correspondent
declared he was able to prove that a
secret meeing was held at Berlin sew
eral weeks ago, attended by some of
the German ministers, including the
minister Of reichswehr, to consider
the prospects for war against France
and Poland"
Some OF the German officials were
said to feel that they could count upon
the neutrality of certain powers. but
-no decision was reached because of
Uncertainty regarding other powers
and the fear of internal troubles.

BREAD PRICES
FOUND UNFAIR
Senate Investigating Committee
Will Report Result OF
Probe Tomorrow.

report on the price OF bread in
Washington is to be made to the
Senate today or tomorrow.
The Senate District subcommittee.
following two hearings has found
what is believed to be such obvious
evidence OF unnecessary high prices
and of price fixing OF breadstuffs
that 1t deems further investigation
unnecessary.
The report will declare that:
Charles /. Corby. president OF the
Corby Baking Company. Is making
heavy profit on the sale OF bread.
and is engaged in price fixing with
reference to the retail price OF bread.
That until a standard weight loaf
Of bread is fixed in Washington. II
will be impossible to determine cost
Of production, accurately.
That legislation should be adopted.
regulating the sale Of bread in the
District.
There will be no attempt to pass
legislation in the remaining days or
the session, but as soon as Congress
reconvenes, the question will be taken
W.
Following the passage Of the
standard weight loaf bill in the
House an effort will be made to rush
IL through the Senate before Satur-
day night. The Senate District COM
mittee brought in n favorable report
Oh the bill late YESTERDAY afternoon.
il is hoped that tho matter can be
taken up and passed without debate
in the Senate. Should this course Of
procedure fail. however, the measure
will be placed on the calendar for
early action at the next session.
The report to be brough. ir by the
Senate subcommittee probably will
recommend the abolition Of the Dis
trict fair price committee. as a num-
er of Senators are dissatisfied with the
way that it has conducted its az
fairs.

Following the charge OF the Judge.
Attorney oshea objected TO this part.
Exceptions also were taken TO the
judges not embodying certain prayers
OF the defense in his charge. Justice
Gould addressed the jury for only
half an hour. lie said that there Is
no controversy about the question
that Cockreli killed his wife with a
piece OF iron pipe as charged in the
indictment.
That question Is undisputed." he
said. THE question for you gentle
men to decide is whether he was In
sane at the time OF the killing and
whether he did IL with premeditated
malice aforethought."
The following definition OF insanity
as interpreted by the law was given
to the jury:
when, by reason OF a disease or
the mind, a person 10 unable TO un-
derstand the nature and character OF
his acts and Is unable to distinguish
between right and wrong: also when,
by reason OF a disease of the mind.

trial has been heard. finished his
charge at exactly 1880. and the case
went TO 'he jury.

Except for. the presence OF his
brother, Frank cockrell, who has
been almost constantly at the side
OF the defendant. cockrell sat alone

His mother. Mrs. Cora Cockrell. has
not been In the court room for more
than a week. The strain or the long
drawn out trial has been too much
for her, according to her counsel. ana
she has been unable because OF a
nervous condition TO sit with her son
through the eliminating hours OF the
trial. Neither OF his sisters has
been with him since they tainted in
the court room more than . week ago
Charging the jury, Justice Gould
told them that they might bring in
one OF three verdicts: Guilty OF mur-
der in the frst degree, guilty OF muir
der in the second degree, or innocent
because OF insanity.

AFTER GRIZZLY
WITH BOW AND ARROWS

CODY, Wyo.. June 3.-Ned Frost,
noted Rocky mountain big game
guide. hasn't much faith in the efn-
cacy OF bow and arrow as a weapon
TO hunt griEziy bears in their native
haunts.

and this means from five thousand
to twenty-five thousand per acre at
the time of the first killing frost.
The weevils that develop lat e in
the fall are the ones which are most
likely to pass the winter safely. To
prevent this late wecvil development
in the field is most important. Most
OF the weevils continue to feed and
breed as long as green cotton may
be found. Immediately after the
first killing frost the weevls begin
hunting for wintcr-quarters. During
the cold weather Of winter they are
inactive and in Information.
Generally the weevils do not fly
far from the cotton fields to 90 into
winter quarters. The most suitable
conditions for wecvil- -wintering are
found in those fields in which cot
ton stalks, dead grass, weeds, fallen
leaves, unkept hedge rows and creek
banks occur. Experiments have
shown that where those dirty condi
tions of the farm are allowed to ex-
ist during the winter, tremendous
number of wcevils successfully pass
the winter and attack the crop next
spring. The farmer in weevl infest
ed sections must choose whether he
wants to destroy the weevils this fall
or have them destroy his crop next
season.
Following are some of the reasons
why cotton fields should be cleaned
up in the fall and stalks destroyed
by plowing them under or by graz
ing:
First, millions of weevils are killed
outright
Second, the undeveloped stages Of
the weevil are destroyed with stalks.
Third, destroying the stalks about
two weeks before the first killing
frost will weaken the full grown
weevils by starvation.
Fourth, the removal of the stalks

My advice to the negro race, is
stay in the south live clean, decent,
industrious lives; raise the standard
of living in your homes, and you will
find many a helping hand extended
you by the southern white farmers
merchants and bankers.
Soil Fertility is Fundamental
In any system Of farming "soil Fer
tiity is Fundamental" The arrival
of the cotton boil weevil, the scarcity
and high cost of farm labor, and the
greatly increased cost of seeds and
commercial fertilizers make it abso-
lutely necessary for the farmer who
is not in business for his health and
pleasure, but for good living to
study and apply farm practices that
increase crop yields.
Coastal Plain Soils Deficient in Or
game Matter
Coastal Plain soils, generally speak
ing, are deficient in organic matter.
In order that the most profitable pro-
duction of crops shall be secured, even
when using fertilizing materials, it
will be necessary to 50 arrange the
crop rotations that organic matter in
considerable quantities will be turned
back into the soils low in this mater
ial. In arranging the rotations, it
should be planned as nearly as is prac-
ticable to provide, by the growing
of suitable leguminous crops and turn
ing them in, the required nitrogen in
the soils for the nonleguminous crops
Of the rotation. In order to grow the
leguminous crops Of the rotation sue
cessfully and in some cases, too, the
noneguminous crops-it will be ncces-
sary to use liberal quantities of lime
