Nationally Known Liberal Called Be-

Syndicalism Law.

st. Joseph, Mich, April 16.-(By
Associated Press. )--Charles Z. Ruth
enberg Of Cleveland, nationally known
liberal, the second person to face
prosecution under Michigan's anti
syndicalism law, was ordered to trial
today, little less than two weeks
after jury failed to convict william
z. Foster of Chicago, the first defend
ant tried under that law.
Ruthenberg, as was Foster, is
charged with assembling with an or
ganization advocating Illegal methods
for bringing about social and political
reform.
Ruthenberg, while on the stand for
Foster, testified to his liberal actvi-
ties. He said he had been a social
ist organizer for number of years,
had been that party's candidate for
mayor of Cleveland on several &C.
casions and had run for congress and
United States senator from Ohio and
also for governor.
When the socialist party was divid-
ed by the withdrawal of the radical
left wing, Ruthenberg said he joined
that group, finally becoming national

ton disbanded and was formed into

Washington. d. c., April 1.-THE
enormous extent to which the eigh-
teenth amendment and the Volstead
law have cut down the lawful manu-
facture Of alcohol. and yinous and
malt beverages is clearly shown in
figures announced today by the L. s.
commerce department.
But because they include statistics
only on the legal liquor trade, which
is but a small part of the actual liz
course, be taken with a grain or two
OF salt.
[ In 1921, when the prohibition law
had been in effect only two years and
enforcement was not being carried
out with nearly the yigor, severity
and persistence employed today. the
value OF lawful manufactures of al
cohol, In spite OF the great advance
in prices of wet goods. was but lit
tie over 10 per cent of that of 1914;
the value OF malt liquor manufactures
was only about rs per cent of that OF
1914, and the value of manufactures
OF vinous liquors was about 20 per
cent OF that of 1914.
1t is certain that II figures could be
obtained for the lawful manufacture
OF these three products today they
would show great reduction in the
two years since 1921.

CORBIT ELIAsON NAUDAIN DEAD
Well known Former Citizen of Mid
dletOwn, Dies at Oak Lane, Phil
adelphia With Stroke of ApOplexy

On the morning of the fifth of April
last, while waiting at the Oak Lane
Station for a train to take him to his
place Of business in Philadelphia, Cor
bit Ehason Naudain was suddenly
seized with an apoplecuc attack
which left him speechless and helpless
till his death which occurred on the
afternoon of June 2nd 1t was his re-
quest that his remains be laid by the
side of his brother George w. w.
Naudain, in the cemetery at Middle
town. He was the last of a large
family to be laid away. He leaves to
survive him a devoted wife and three
nieces, Mrs. Lillian E. Biggs, of Mid
dletown, Mrs Helen Cooke, of Phil
adelphia, and Mrs. Katherine Good
hand, of New Rochelle, New York.
Mr. Corbit Eliason Naudain was a
lneal descendant of Elias Naudain,
who was born in Poiteau, France, in
1866, and who with his family in 1851,
to escape the religious persecution of
the Huguenots by Louis the Fourteen
tn of France, was among the fifty
thousand families of HuguenOts who
fled to England for safety under the
banner of King James. In the year
1898 his son, Elias Naudain, came to
America and settled on Blackbird
Greek, New Castle County, State of
Delaware. From this sturdy stock of
Huguenot ancestry sprang Corbit Z.
Naudain who was born near Hillsboro,
Highland County, Ohio, May 9th, 1S47.
After the death of his parents, when
he was about ten years of age, he
went to Philadelphia to live with an
uncle, Mr.. William Ehason. Upon
the completion of his education in the
High School Of that city he came to
MiddletOwn, in the employ of his
brother, George w. w. Naudain, who
was a prominent merchant and bank
er of Middletown. A few years later
he went back to Philadelphia and was
for short time in the employ of the
| firm of MacCallum, Grease and Sloan
near the corner of Tenth and Chestnut
streets, from which he entered the
Philadelphia Saving Fund Society in
whose employ he continued for the
long period of thorty-five years, to the
day of his death. Such an unprece-
dented continuous service with a great
banking institution is the very best
Testimonial to his fidelity to duty and
to his spotless business integrity.
Twenty six years ago he established
his home at 1910 Stratford Avenue,
Melrose Park, Pa, where he lived con-
tinuously to the day of his death.
During all these years he has been
known among his friends and neigh
bors as a man Of kindly spirit, of
modest and unassuming manner and
deeply interested in the best interests
of the community.

17-YEAR LOCUST MENACE FRUIT
Preparations Rushed to Save Crops;
Scientist Puzzled to Know Where
Pests Stay Nearly Score of Years

eSlS stay Nearly oCOIe OF ears
The 17-year locusts have arrived on
scheduled time, accoding to reports
from New York and New Jersey fruit
growers, received Wednesday by DR..
George p. Engelhardt, of the Depart
ment of Natural Science Of the Brook
lyn Museum. Unmolested by the pests
since 1906, fruit growers, Dr.. Engel-
hardt said, now are rushing prepara-
tions to save their crops from the
The plague, which for many
centuries has remained a mystery, has
been explained by modern science,
which now knows where the locusts
go for their II years vacations, DR..
Engelhardt declared. The cicada, as
the 17-year lOcusts are called, appears
at the beginning of the mating season,
stays from four to six weeks, and
disappears. In that brief time, while
the male makes all the noise, the fe-
male drills little holes in fruit trees
and deposits eggs, causing the leaves
to shrivel and turn yellow. When the
eggs hatch the grubs fall to the
ground and start digging. Whether
they dig down for eight and a half
years,and then up again, is not known
but they appear at the end of II. No
great permanent damage will be done,
according to DR.. Engelhardt, but their
years supply of fruit will probably
be short. As the locusts do not eat
while they are in the sunshine, pre-
ventive measures are difficult to de-
wise, but the doctor suggests shaking
the trees and letting the chickens do
the rest.

Queer Franks of Lightning at Newark
Electric Storm Was Severe in
the Vicinity of SeafOrd

Three negroes were killed by light
ming in an electrical storm at POGO
moke City, Md, Thursday They were
in a house used for sleeping quarters
for berry pickers on the farm of
Frank Wilmington, in Somerset coun-
ty. All three of the negroes lived in
a negro settlement about a mile from
that town. A baby less than a year
old, which one of the victims held il
his arms when the bolt struck, escaped
unhurt. The negroes. Mary johnson,
II years old; Roosevelt Johnson, 21
years old, and Lee Cannon, 4 years
old, had taken shelter from the storm
which descended shortly after 3
o'clock. The wooden shack in which
the three negroes sought shelter was
undamaged by the lightning, not even
catching fire at the point where the
bolt struck. The three victims ap-
peared to have been instantly killed.
The johnson girl had the baby in her
arms when she was struck; it was
untouched by the lightning.
Lightning played some popular
pranks around Newark during a Sc
we're electrical storm Thursday after
noon, including knocking a woman's
glasses from her nose without in any
way injuring her. The woman was
Mrs. ]. P. Rose, who lives on Cleve-
land avenue. During the storm a bolt
of lightning entered an open window
at the Rose home and apparently went
out the open door. Mrs. Rose was
standing in the room some distance
from the window with her glasses on.
Her glasses were knocked from her
nose to the floor and while the sudden
flash greatly startled her she was not

The storm was one of the most severe
that has visited Newark for years. A
