BRIDGEVILLE, May 12.-Farm-
ers in this community are fighting
a small green louise on the pea vines.
The crop was progressing well and
there was prospects for a bumper
crop until few days ago, when the
louise appeared. 1t Is a small insect
and a vast number appear and suck
the life out of the vines. A spray

GET LAKE ERIE & VI.
Obtain Control Through Pur-
chase Of New York Cen
trails Stock.

The New York Central Railroad has
sold its stock control OF the Lake Erie
and Western Railroad to the Western
Company. OF which 0. p. Van Swerin-
gen Of Cleveland is president Under
the terms OF the sale. which were am
nouned yesterday by A. II. Harris. vice
president in charge of finance OF the
New York Central the latter receives
SO. 200. 900 for its $4,000 shares of pre-
ferred stock and $4,000 shares OF COM
mon stock of the Lake Erie and West
ern. payable partly in cash and partly
in notes. secured by pledge OF the
stock. The Lake Erie and Western has
outstanding 11S.400 shares OF pre-
ferred stock and like amount OF COM
mon shares. Wor Its preferred stock
the New York Central receives s35 a
share and 1857 share for It's common
stock.
The Lake Erie and Western is a 73S-
mile railroad running from Sandusky TO
Peoria, with branches to Indianapolis,
Michigan City. Fort Wayne and Con-
nersville, Ind Its acquisition by the
Van Sweringen interests marks another
important step in the direction of rail-
road consultations as planned by the
Interstate Commerce Commission under
the terms of the Transportation act.
In Prof. Il. u. Ri2ley's tentative plan
for merging the country's railroads into
limited number of systems the New
York Central and Its controlled lines
are made the nucleus of complete
system. but the Lake Erie and Western
is segregated therefrom and included in
a system which would link Ii UP with
the Nickel Plate, the Clover Leaf and
the Lackawanna. In the view OF Prof
Ripley and the directorate of the New
York Central. inclusion of the Lake Erie
and Western Is unnecessary In the New

Peoria.
The beginning of what probably will
be great steam transportation system.
under tho control of the Van Sweringens
Of Cleveland, took place several years
ago., when those interests bought the
Nickel Plate from the New York Cen
trail. Two months ago the same inter-
ests purchased stock control of the
Glover Leaf. Their acquisition OF the
Lake Erie and Western gives them a
system 1856 miles long. entering Buff

Tells of Appomattox.

William Leggett was at Appomattox
when Lee surrendered to Grant. He was
one of the soldiers who never tried to
tell Grant how to run the army. there
fore he was not in the court house when
the formalities we're gone into. All he
was doing was sitting in ditch by the
side of the road waiting to be told what
TO do next. He told the audience all
about II between songs while they were
waiting for the Marshal He ended up
like this:
"And then they told us that Lee had
surrendered and we all Rugged and
kissed one another and cried like babies,
and they told us nod to go near the
Johnnies down in the valley. and that's
all there was to it."
A tremendous cheer arose for Will
lam Leggett. The cheer was almost as
vociferous as the one ready for the Mar
shall had he appeared. Certainly Il was
almost as loud as the one that went up
when Isadore 1saacs took the middle OF
the PLATFORM grasped the Prince with
one hand and DR.. Lee with the other.
There he stood with Grant on one side
of him and Lee on the other.
a'Now." cried the old fellow. Il can

The audience didn't need the band to
loosen its emotions. although all the
old Southern and Northern songs were
blared and doomed over and over again.
There were enough young veterans OF
the world war present to form at least
a full platoon.
1t was a great night for fighting whole
campaigns all over again. Frederick
Meres for instance. took off his old
campaign hat and told the audience that
when il came right down to fighting the
lads who wore the blue and their OPP
ponents who wore butternut had IL all
over the youngsters who helped render
the Hohenzollerns defunct. He said that
the soldiers in this late affair fought
lying on their bellies with their noses in
the sand.

men last evening at their annual din
ner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel He
took the opportunity to refute critics

operations and to answer those who
seek to regulate it by legislation.
MY idea is that as long as this in
stitution maintains the high standard
for honesty that it has it shall not be
hampered." Mr.. Cromwell said, and de-
clared that the Stock Exchange seeks
to protect the public from the bucket
shop dealer and the crook.
Besides this speech. the advertising
men heard Senator G. NJ. Hitchcock of
Nebraska publisher of the Omaha
World-Herdld, expounded his doctrine Of
international credit and explain what
he believes such a Bank of Nations
as he has proposed to Congress would
do to straighten out the affairs of the
world. The great cause of our trouble,
he said. Is the collapse of our foreign
trade, and great international bank
