spiracy to murder DIR. Burt r. Full

Mrs. Rowan, also We're bound over.
The three were remanded to the
county Jail in default of $1,000 bail
each.

instigated an attack upon him in an
automobile tourist camp near here.

Reconstruction of the upper part OF
the White House commenced today
when gang of workmen started the
demolition of the ceiling of the third
floor and the roof of the attic. The
roof will not be demolished until the
temporary roof has been built to pro-
tect the interior.
Judging from the large number of
men who appeared at the White
House grounds today TO apply for
work there is a scarcity of jobs for
workmen in Washington or else there
is a strong desire on the part of this
class of workers to have the honor of
working on the home of the Presi-
dent. Before 7:30 o'clock more than
100 men had lined up in the vicinity
of the small building which has been
erected in the front grounds just east
of the White House proper to be used
as an office for SEVERN & Co. of
Chicago, the contractors.
Not more than 20 of these men were
enga ged at this time, but it is under
stood that additional labor will be en-
ployed within the next few days.

tions which he says are a demonstra-
ton not of lack of adaptability of the
stocks to American conditions but of
a lack of information relative TO the
requirements of the crops.
American-grown bulb stocks on the
whole. owing to the diversity of the
conditions under which they are pro-
duced, are likely to be less uniform
in their performance than foreign
stocks, but are just as productive and
responsive under glass when suitably
handled. On this account stocks from
widely separated localities should not
be mixed.
Storage should receive more careful
attention. Overexposure is common,
and sometimes heating is evident In
jury in the pack is not uncommon. 1t
is imperative that the large pack be
well aerated.
A large part of the so-called disease
troubles Of bulbs, especially daffodils.
is due not to parasitic organisms, but
to improper cultural, storage or han
ding conditions.
The bulletin considers in detail the
trials under glass made with tulips,
daffodils, lilies, crocus, hyacinths and
iris.

GERMAN DUTY ALARMS
u. S. AUTO INTERESTS
Higher Tariff on Parts Viewed as
Heavy Blow to Assembling
Plants.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 15.-American au'
tomobile interests here are consider
ably perturbed by ruling of the Ger
man customs department under Whlch
certain automobile parts which for
merly were brought into Germany un-
der a low tariff for assembling. here
after must pay the same high rate as
finished machinery.
Enforcement of the ruling, II Is
feared by American commercial men
here, may result in the abandonment
of the assembling plants maintained
here by two American concerns manu-
featuring low-priced cars, and hold up
work on a similar plants which has
been started here by another Ameri-
can company. 1t also probably would
prevent other automobile manufac-
turers building assembling plants in
Germany.
The new ruling also is retroactive
to January ! of this year, since which
date large numbers of the parts affect
ed have been brought here for assem-
bling. The ruling will be protested
and automobile men are hopeful OF
obtaining a reversal.
Formerly these automobile parts were
brought in under a duty of from to
IL marks per 100 Kilograms. but under
the new ruling the rate varies from
100 to It's marks.
