TOBACCO CROP LOST
Estimation Given By the Burley
Growers Association When
Field Is Considered

Lexington, KY, September 1.-THE
! of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and West
Virginia Thursday issued the follow
ing report of its canvass of the bur-
ley section to ascertain the damages
from "wildfire:"
"The reports of damage by wild
fire. coming to the Office of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers Association, in
dicate practically the entire hurley
region is more or less affected by this
disease. Few counties have escaped
its ravages altogether Estimates as
to the extent of damage to the to-
bacco crop varies from SO per cent
to nothing. Some communities in the
same country have escaped much more
than others. Apparently a safe esti-
mate as to the damage the entire bur
ley crop HIS suffered void be 25 per
cent. The grower may suffer even a
greater per cent of loss in the price
the tobacco brings. There will un-
doubtedly be great quantity of the
present crop that cured which will
show the effects of 'wildfre 'or rust
To what extent the buyers will dis
criminate against this kind OF to-
bacco remains to be seen.
''It seems that tobacco on old land
or upon land not we'll drained is the
type of soil where 'wildfre' first ap-
peared. In may cases it has been
observed that well-drainei hillsi les
show the least rust, but no special
type of soil seems to be entirely i'm
mune; no particular strain of bu:l ley
tobacco seems to be in any way espc-
cially liable to attack, nor is any
strain immune. The effect shown in
cured tobacco depends great deal
upon the extent "wildfire" has effect
ed the plant or leaf when housed.

of the plant, will have to be left 70

oUoCI clIS DybIllS 1ct1HltIS.
Some close observers have suggested
that whenever plant is in any way
wounded or weakened it is especially
liable to attack. For instance, it
seems that no crop that was nit by
hail has failed to soon develop wild
fire. In communities where tobacco
was topped early 'wildfre' is more
serious. This disease is also hastened
by suckering. 1t appears that all
leaves where the bottom is turned to-
ward the sun furnish an opportunity
for the rust to obtain a foothold."

CITY COUNCIL.
THURSDAY NIGHT
Street Improvement Proved Pre-
dominating Feature With
Few Present

CIVIC pride is one thing that City
Councilman Golden dotes on and this
fact was very manifest Thursday
rIght at tht. meeting of the city coun-
Gil, when he repeatedly stated his
earnest desire to have at least one of
the big trees on Main street, near
Collins street, cut down. The tree,
one Of the largest in the city, is not of
the weeping willow variety, but its
age has caused it to bow low How
ever, the courtesy, silent though it
has been, is very decided, and, the
counrii,},an says, decidedly over the
street SO much so that tops of loaded
WAGONS, IS we'll as automobiles, are
endangered ,hence the desire to have
the tree cut. Mr.. Golden admitted
that despite his corpulence and age,
he woud wcrk faithfully and endea-
vor 20 enu-atc the feat of the Father
of FIis Country himself, and would
aoluaEy wicid the axe himself in or
der to .eruove the tree if given per-
mission ard 81 aranteed the work
woulG not cost the city a cent. This
coveted po1nlis SIGN was given the
c0unc;lrnan, wrereuEon he replied,
"IIl cut that tree down just as sure
as the world Is l2und," and it is the
general belief that hc will do so. "It
looks counjryfied," Guoth Mr.. Golden,
rs ne repeated tre assertion that he
wou' chop down flat tree before an
OTTER sunset.

BOMB CAUSED
N. Y. EXPLOSION
Suspect Arrested In Toronto
Financial Districts Of Cities
Are Heavily Guarded
6By Associated Press)

New York, Sept. II = Fire
Commissioner brennan reported
to-day to Mayor Hylan the explo-
sion in Wall Street yesterday,
(which killed 33 and injured 200,
was evidently caused by a bomb.
lover so pounds of metal frag-
ments believed to have been con
tanned in a bomb were collected
by the Fire Department, at the
scene of the disaster and turned
over to the Police Commissioner,
IDrennan said.
William Flynn, chief of the bureau
of investigation of the Department of
Justice, declared he was positive g
bomb caused the explosion.
''The bomb was placed by a person
who was within four blocks of Wall
street when the explosion occurred" +"
he said. Certain at last of the cause
of the explosion, federal agents and
city police have increased their search
for the driver of wagon drawn by
-.
No trace of him has yet been found.
The theory Of the investigators is
that time bomb was made from T.
N. T., the most powerful explosive
known, and that the driver hurried
from the scene just after arranging
the explosion to occur at noon.
Acting upon telephone advises, a
representative of the district attor-
ney's Office left at noon for Toronto
with subpoena for Edward p Fisch-
er, former employe of the French
high commission in New York, who is
detained there by the police today,
after he is alleged to have sent two
post cards to friends here, warning
them not to be in Wall street at 9
o'clock Wednesday, September Is. He
will be brought to New York to tes-
tify before the September grand jury,
which was ordered today to investi-
gate the disaster.
Financial centers of American big
cities from coast to coast are armed
camps today with police, private
sentries and posted guard against
repetition of the mysterious explosion
that rocked Wall street from Wash
ington, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
Detroit, Baltimore and as far south
as the Gulf Of Mexico, and right to
the Golden Gate authorities have an
nounced that heavy patrols in plain
clothes and men of police reserves
are guarding their big business dis
tricts. Federal agents worked with
state snd city officials to run down
reports of widespread extremist plots
Meanwhile, the scene Of Yesterdays
blast is roped off and guarded by po-
lice, with soldiers held ready on Gov
ernor's Island for immediate call.

WOMAN TRIES TO CROSS
CHANNEL ON "WATERCYCLE'

London. Sept. 17.-An attempt to
cross the English Channel on a So
called "watercycle" has just been
made by Miss Zetta Hills "a young
Englishwoman. She started at Z a.
m from Calais for Folkestone, about
so miles. The current prevented
direct course being followed, and at
first Miss Hill was taken down the
channel along the French coast until
few miles from Boulogne. Then
the tide turned and she swept up the
channel until east of the Goodwin
lightship. Once more the tide chang
ed and she made westerly course.
After covering about 4S miles in II
hours, the machine broke down owing,
it is supposed, to the backwash of
passing steamer, and Miss Hills was
taken off by rowing boat. only
three and half miles from the Eng
lish coast.
Her food and drink were milk, fruit
and boiled eggs. She intends to try
the trip again.

out of the ordinary. Mis- Roberts is
very agreeably surprised at pros
poets for the year, which are most
favorable.
Pulaski county is perhaps the
most extensively represented county
in the state, there being a very lib
era sprinkling of graduates there
from this school. The attendance
this year from that county will, ac-
cording to indications, be even great
er than ever before. There has been
a large representation from Pulaski
county since the establishment Of the
school and with very few, if any, ex-
ceptions it has led in the number of
stftlents since. The unusual number
being enrolled this year is being re-
ceived with great interest, since the
recommendation seems to have been
a favorable one. Pulaski county Is
providing a great number of teachers
and other office representatives thru
the graduates, most of whom have
diplomas from this institution.

in America is dangerous to the
best interests or America"
The Governor closed the Incl
dent by reciting his use of the
I"Golden Rule" instead of the bay
onet in Ohio industrial troubles.
Returning to the League, Gov
ernor Cox asked if anyone knew
Senator Harding's position. A
man yelled america first" and
the Governor fired back, "What
was Germans slogan? 'Deutsch-
land uber Allies" and the world
rose up and struck it down, for it
was selfish and inhumane. If it's
to be America first and isolate
our nation, you've got to arm to
the teeth. My creed is Lord Goo
Almighty first"
The audience cheered this re-
mark loudly.
The League, together with pro-
gressivism, were the backbone Of
all Governor Cox's addresses.
Through the arid sections of Ne
vada Thursday he preached the gos-
pei of reclamation and irrigation thru
federal assistance.
To sheep growers and farmers he
discussed the proposed defiation, say
ing:
"Maine went republican the other
day; it usually does. But what hap
pened the day after the election:
Wall street sent stocks up and the
price of wheat went down.
"The republican party platform
talks about defiation. Now, which
end was debated? Your end, was i
not ?"
He gave a definition of wh.-: he
meant in his various speeches whej
he referred to big business in this
fashion:
What is big business? Nothing
more or less than this: A group o.
greedy, sordid, selfish interests whicl
have learned that by the adoption
and maintenance of certain methods
skllful, subtle and insidious, they car
gain just a little the best of it in the
administrative policies of govern
ment, and what they gain that doe:
not belong to them is the portion
that has been taken from some ono
else."
