The music stirred the throng to

ship INSECTS
TO AUSTRALIA
Investigators Find 3 u g 5
Which Will Destroy
Prickly Pears

UvALDE, July 2.-P-1iIirty-
five cases of insects have just been
shipped from Uvalde consigned to
Australia where they are to be lib
Grated by the government in an eff
fort to destroy the prickly pear.
The shipment, valued at $500,
weighed 1894 pounds, and the ex-
press charges to San Francisco
amounted to about 1865. A number
of smaller consignments have been
made in the past.
For several years the Australian
government has maintained inves-
tigators in this section to expert
ment with insects which live on
the prickly pear. The climate of
this section is said to be quite sim
liar to that of Australia where mil
lions of acres of land are covered
with dense prickly pear growths.
These growthS are so thick in, some
sections that a rabbit cannot get
through, according to r. G. Mum
dell, in charge Of the work here.
In the experiments here insects
are caught and Investigations con-
Quoted with various kinds of vege-
tation to ascertain what they eat.
Insects found which eat nothing
but prickly pear are placed in VEN
ti1ated cases for shipment. They
are fed on the pear after their cap
ture and until released in far-away
Australia.
Three distinct species are being
shipped at present, the most numer-
Gus being the bettle-like insect
known to the scientific world as
"Moneilema ulkei," which devours
roots and tops of the plants. An
other. the "Asphondylia," destroys
the prickly pear seed. The third
Is known as Caterpillar militara,'
Of which there are three species.
In recent years several thousand
acres have been claimed in Australia
by the insect" method, according
to Mr.. Mundell. Insect investiga-
lions are under way in other Sec
lions of Texas and in Arizona and
New Mexico.

Ex-C Convict Editor Lays His
Rearest To Woman Scorned'

CHICAGO, July 2.-". and
then that fearful hand, the police,
issues from the shadow, and sud-
denly tears off my mask!"-Jean
Vatican.
Robert Elliott Burns, escaped
convict who became editor Of q
Chicago magazine, scorned a wo-
man. And now, a modern Jean
Vatican, he's scheduled to go back
to a Georgia chain gang.
Seven years ago a sledge swung
by a fellow prisoner, q giant negro,
struck off the ShackleS riveted
around Burns ankle and he eScap-
ed from the road camp where he
had been sent for his part in a 81
robbery, from which his share was
$1.33. He had drifted down south
after discharge from the army and,
with two chance companions, rob-
bed a grocery.
In the pursuit that followed the
breaking of the shackles he outwit-
ted guards and bloodhounds, and
reached Chicago pennileSs. He got
a job in a packing plant at So a
day. Then he stepped up to a $40
a week job figuring beef averages
and rented a room at 6444 Ingle-
side avenue.
That's where I met the woman
who caused all the trouble" he says.
Mrs. Emily Pacheo, IA years his
senior, became Mrs. Robert Burns.
She had learned of his secret, de-
clares Burns, and threatened to x
pose him unless he married her.
Although she is suing for divorce,
Mrs. Burns denies she sought re-
venge by turning him in"
Il still care for him too much"
she says. He told me his history
right after we were married. I've
never told a SOUL"
His courtship, she says, was ar
dent.
Burns had the idea for his real
estate magazine and worked nights
to get money to start. Soon it was
a going concern and he had won
the confidence Of prominent bus
mess men. His income from the
magazine alone was estimated at
$4,000 yearly.
Then he met Lillian Salo, %. of
Minneapolis, pretty violin student.
They fell in love and Burns left
his wife. Soon after that two
deputies from Georgia walked into
Burns office.
we want you," they said.
Il knew he was married" said
Miss Salo, and we we're waiting
for him to get a divorce. I didn't
wait for him"
AS for Burns, former BROOKLYN
neWsboy, he has his own protective
philosophy. A motto on his office
wall sums it up.
Burns plea against extradition

IN four major battles and claims a

Emmerson.
Now he has voluntarily agreed n
return to Georgia and serve out his
sentence.

CLAIM of Youngest
Vet Is Aired Again

KANSAS CITY, July 2.-lP)-
The birthdate of Gilbert Van zant,
77-year-old Civil war veteran, may
settle history's argument over the
question, who is the youngest old
SOldier?"
IN youthful age he outranks Maj.
Gen. John l.. Glen Of Washington,
heretofore generally regarded as
the youngest surviving recruit of
the union army. Mr.. Van Zant
was born December 20, 1851, while
General Clem's birthday was Aug
ust Is the same year.
The Kansas City veteran, who
lacks 10 years Of looking his age,
enlisted as a drummer boy in Port
Williams, Ohio, in 1862 before he
was IL years old. General Clem'S
service dated from May 1, 1863.
For bravery under fire, the 10Th
Ohio Volunteer infantry gave
young Van zant O mounted gold
and silver drum at Nashville. He
started on Sherman's march to the
sea, but that experience was side
tracked by his appointment as a
dispatch carrier near Atlanta.
Soldiers called him little girl"
Superior officers liked the lad so
well that an interview with Presi-
dent Johnson was arranged after
the war.
The executive, who marveled at
the lads extreme youth, gave him
a choice between an army COM
mission or the pony he had ridden
to deliver dispatches under fire.
Van zant took the pony.
His army discharge, issued in
1865, described him as Is years old
and four feet tall. He does not
greatly exceed that height today.
Il have been asked many times
why I am not larger. MY only
answer is that probably I was
scared out of three years. growth
during the war"
