London. April 4 (By the Associated Press)-Not the slightest doubt is en- tertained here that the execution of Vicar Gen. Butchkavitch has taken place despite a dispatch sent yester- day by the Times correspondent at Riga declaring the soviet government had suspended the executions.
 It is felt here that the News from Moscow may have been slow in get ting through to Riga and it is noted that the Times printed the Riga dis patch underneath the announcement from Moscow that the death sentence imposed upon the prelate had been executed last Saturday.
 Rome. April (By the Associated Press) Notwithstanding the Riga dispatch published by the Times of London. appearing to throw doubt upon the execution of Monsignor Butchkavitch, the Vatican continues to believe the prelate has already been shot. The belief is founded upon the fact that announcement of the execution reached the Vatican from several absolutely independent sources, it is stated. &

Local hucksters of berries and cher
rjes were considerably harrassed las,
week when Harry Jordan, Mary
lander, with a fruit and vegetable
farm between Hagerstown and Fred
erick, appeared with 80 crates Of nice
raspberries and cherries and proceed
ed to undersell the local producers.
Jordon offered his cherries two
boxes for a quarter and, his raspber-
ries for 10 cents per box. Local peo-
pie were offering the same fruit on
adjoining stands for 80 cents the box
for cherries and Is for raspberries
Overtures were made by the local
producers to get Jordon to raise hi:
price to what appeared to be uni
form scale, but Jordon would not
raise. All the berry and cherry trade
went his way, while the local people
stood around and held their hands.
Inquiry was made as to whether
Jordon had a license to market, and
was disclosed that, while he had n,
license, he had conferred with tn
city auditor and had been told t
come there and by test determine
whether he could sell at a profit. TIL
local dealers found no other way t.
boycott him and many of them, as ;
consequence, hauled their small
fruits back home.
Jordon was invited to come bacl
next week with another load, provid
ed he purchased a marketing licens
He did not indicate whether he woul'
return or not.

A visit to Parsons Island, in East
ern Bay, was made by County Agent
Grub, DR.. Jehle, Prof. E. N. Corey
and S. B. Shaw, Of the State Agricul-
tura Department, to ascertain the
truth of the rumor that this little
spot Of land was infested with thou
sands Of rats. Amazenient was ex
pressed at what they found.
In describing their visit the gen.
tlemen stated that the ground liter.
ally was overrun with the rodents. Il
the evening hundreds may be seer
leaving, their holes and making fol
the shore line to get water. They
climb trees and eat the small peaches
apples and pears, burrow under the
roots and destroy growth and under
corn and ruin the plants, make liv'
ing in the sole house on the island al
most unbearable.
These men stated that even hogs
on the island do not escape the ravag
es of the pests. Live animals were
seen going around with holes in theil
flesh, caused from rats gnawing a
them while asleep or resting. Fur
ther remarking on the trip, the gen
tlemen stated that visit to the islant
carries with it a feeling of horrible
gruesomeness that is unexplainable
and indescribable.
The island is known as the J. F
'Usilton farm and is located some fiv'
miles south Of Chester, and contains
about 100 acres. Steps are to be tax
en- to rid the farm of the rodents
Proposed curative measures include
the use of barium carbonate, poison
lately used in rat campaigns in thi
country. It causes the rats to hun
for water, and the water acting will
the poison kills.
