GOLD WHITE" NOTORIOUS
WOLF, MEETS DEATH
Ferocious Leader Of a Pack That
Destroyed Much Live Stock in
Colorado Is Killed.

Details Of the capture and death Of
"Old White" the ferocious leader OF a
pack of wolves that for years caused
great destruction among live stock on
Bear Springs mesa, Colo, are contained
in a report received recently by the bu-
reau of biological survey, Department Of
Agriculture The capture lacked some
of the more spectacular elements that
marked the passing Of the now famous
Custer Wolf" but in many ways it is
looked upon as among the notable kills
made through the skill and patience Of
government hunters in their work Of
ridding the cattle ranges Of the west Of
predatory animals.
Early in the spring, by the clever
strategy Of one Of the hunters. the mate
Of this animal and one of the leaders
of the pack was captured, and 1t was
thought that "Old White" would then
fall ready victim. But he proved more
difficult. for although several good
chances to get the old fellow occurred,
on tacht rip to the government traps he
would ''step lucky" as the hunter de-
scribed it. Finally the hunter selected
q favorable spot and placed fouf-traps in
blind set, and it was in these that
the marauder was caught.
"Old White" has a black history and
caused losses in live stock amounting to
many thousands of dollars For twelve
years he roamed the Bear Springs mesa
country. One ranch alone lost about
5000 worth Of live stock through his

QUARANTINE MAINTAINED
AGAINST PLANT DISEASE
Millions Spent Annually by the
Government to Keep Out For
eien Insects That Menace Crops.

The federal government expends
several million dollars annually In e1-
forts to combat serious insects and
plant diseases that have been brought
here from foreign countries. Several
thousand insects have been listed in
foreign countries which are known
to injure crops and which have not
yet been brought to our shores.
Many foreign-plant diseases are also
known to occur, and it is of the ut
most Importance to prevent their
reaching US. The federal horticul-
tural board, an independent branch
Of the Department of Agriculture. is
endeavoring to keep as many Of these
alien enemies out Of the country as
practicable. Special guarantees have
been issued and rigid attention is be-
ing given to the inspection of plants
reaching US, so as to avoid the intro
duction of the pests.
The bureau Of plant industry is de-
sirous Of encouraging in every way
the production Of promising new
crops in this country, and its office
Of foreign seed and plant introduce
tion Is cooperating with horticulture
lists and plant growers in aiding them
in Introducing new varieties Of plants
in such fashion that they will not
bring in any diseases or insects. It is
often necessary to introduce plants
In very small numbers and to grow
them for considerable time. either
in greenhouses or under very special
conditions out Of doors. to make sure
that all pests have been removed.
When 1t Is certain that the plants
are freed of insects or diseases they
may then be propagated more ex-
:ensiyely and distributed to collabo-
rators. In this way new crops are
introduced without danger to tho
country. - -

ment but public sentiment did not seem to re-
fleet that apprehension. The mere saving OF
the money involved in disarmament was held
secondary to the chief consideration. the
stabilization of world peace and, as the ad-
ministration official pointed out. the latter is
essential to the first.
President Harding. it Is known. believes that
the people of the United States still cherish

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

RESIDENT HARDING has raised the
u spirits Of republicans in Congress to an
exultant degree by his course in TAX
ing the initiative in assembling the dis
armament and peace conference. No one Ques-
ttons that important results will ensue for the
benefit Of mankind. and the President will be
given his due need of credit for the good ac-
jcomplished. Already basking in the anticipated
! reflected glory Of his achievement. the poll
tcians in Congress take JUNCTION unto them
selves that the administration, the Congress
and the republican party will share the appre-
ciation Of the public.
This may seem sordid sidelight upon a
great altruistic action Of practical effect but
politics is politics, and many republicans were
beginning to look somewhat anxiously to the
future in the past few weeks. Mists were
gathering and there were rumblngs Of discon-
tent 'front.' the people because of conditions
which, rightly unjustly. were being laid at
the door Of the party in power.
Then, 10 and behold. arose this refulgent
sun to disspate the clouds. This one act de-
clared eminent republican in Congress, III
he accomplshes nothing else. will make him
and his administration famous for all time"
There is no thought in the minds Of con-
gressmen that any element OF failure can at
tach to the great undertaking upon which the
President, by his initiative. has embarked the
principal allied and associated powers Their
confidence in affirmative action of lasting good
to the peace and prosperity Of the world is
based upon realization that the project marches
in step with the overweening desire Of the vast
majority of the peoples of the nations con-
cerned, echoed by other peoples everywhere. and
that its foundation is common sense.
A high Official Of the administration pointed
out the other day that it would be futile to dis
cuss Limitation Of armaments until existing sit
uations which present excuse for main
tanned ornaments are cleared up. 1t Is regard
ed as probable that the order of business OF
the conference will bring the settlement Of
these questions the first step. to be followed
by agreements for Limitation of armaments.
The greater the success in the settlements. in
the removal of causes Of possible friction. the
more extensive and effective will be the dis
armament.
There Is no doubt it Is declared. that the
Presidents plan to include questions OF peace
agreements in the disarmament conference has
caught the imagination of the American people
as grippngly as it has the emotions of Europe
At first there were some murmurings In the
Senate for fear that the inclusion Of consider

Foreign Trade Opportunities.
On account of his extensive and
conspicuous business experience all
over the world. Secretary Hoover In
the present tangle of commerce and
International finance naturally al
lows his miud to focus on the foreign
trade opportunities and requirements
Of this country. 1t is quite logical.
therefore, that he will stress above
all else in his department the eff
with a vision far in the future.
Therefore Ito continue DR.. klein's
explanatory:
1.-THE business men interested in
foreign affairs will find in these COM
modify divisions the type of special
lied service more or less comparable
to that which the Department of Ag-
riculture has long rendered to the
farmers. The merchant in this
country interested in foreign con-
ditions thinks particularly along his
own special line of trade. The bu-
reau's service, therefore. must be
clustered around commodities in
trade groups.
ITO make the service Of the high
est value, the bureau Is to be In d.
rect contact with trade associations
and similar bodies, to which 1t will
look for suggestions and advice as to
INQUIRIES, investigations to be made,
etc.
THE present organization of the
bureau already includes a group OF
divisions specializing upon various
trade regions, such as Latin Amer
lea, the far east, western EUROPE
etc. These are likewise to be recon-
structed and enlarged SO as to i'm
prove their sources of information
on the one hand. and contact with in
terested American merchants on the
other.
1.-THE work of the bureau is also to
be amplified by the expansion Of
such technical Investigations as those
involving foreign tariffs. commercial
law, trade marks, arbitration, etc.
In this connection one very impor-
tant work Of the bureau in the fu-
ture will be study Of the COM
petitive situation in the great mar
ksts Of the world. with view par
ticularly toward correcting many mis-
apprehensions now current in busi-
ness communities.
particular attention is to be paid
to surveys Of the industrial recovery
of. various European countries. with
reference not simply to their COM
petitive potentiality. but more es-
pecially to their influence upon the
general purchasing power Of the
populations of those countries. Ac-
curate information upon this vital
topic is imperatively needed. 1t will
be the particular purpose of the bu-
reau to secure It, and to see that 1t
reaches those most directly involved"

mating the conclusions.
Just as he organized SO successfully
the United States Food Administration
during the war. Secretary Hoover Is
now organizing the business leaders
to help Uncle Sam to aid them tn
making the most of world-trade op-
portunities under unprecedented con-
ditions, to solve the most intricate
commercial problems that have ever
faced any nation and to assist in
sterilization of world commerce while
carrying Americas surplus produc-
ton to the needy throughout the
world.
Selection Of DIR. Klein.
To fit in as executive director of
such gigantic trade campaign. and
manic and world-experienced Hoov-
er required a man Of extraordinary
ability, training and directing force.
Secretary Hoover is positive he has
found the right man in DR.. Klein,
and the business world approves the
selection. while the employees of the
bureau have rallied behind him with
that enthusiasm which comes only
from confidence in their leader.
Both from theoretical and practical
viewpoints DR.. Klein Ats his job.
He has been teaching trade subjects
and commercial economics at Har-
ward University and through the
magazines. He has had practical
experience in South America and
Europe. During the war he was
chief of the Latin American division
of the bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce. from September 1. 1917.
to May 1. 1919. He was commercial
attache at Buenos Aires. Argentina,
from May, 1919, to October. 81, 1920.
He has been counselor at round
table meetings of the commercial
leaders. He has been conferrtng
with Secretary Hoover on the re-
organization plan ever since Mr..
Hoover accepted the cabinet post.
with the cooperation OF the prac7
tical business leaders, we are going
to make the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce an institution for
sound advice on fundamental econ
omic problems and specialized, au-
thoritative information regarding
commodities and market conditions
throughout the world,' said DR..
Klein. --
The biggest job is to get the right
working personnel, he believes.
Here is where the cooperation of the
most successful and best experienced
business men will count. Men whose
names are recognized throughout the
world as undisputed authorities. each
in his own line, have consented to
come to Washington as temporary
chiefs Of the various divisions which
are to be organized and to take
charge Of the Organization Of these
units, actually training the forces
that are to carry on the specialized
work.
"The principal difficulty about the
work of the bureau" DR.. Klein
points out, has been in getting the
business interests Of the country in
