WHITE PINE HIT
 BY BLISTER RUST
Connecticut Fatally Affected by
 InrOadS Of Tree Disease

New Haven, Sept, 10-Whether Connecticut will see the tall white pine vanish from her hills as she beheld the disappearance of the chestnut tree depends upon her strength in preventing spread Of the white pine blister rust. This fatal disease, which would leave no pines standing in New England. 1T it were uncontrolled. has already infected Connecticut so severely that in cer- tain sections 50 to 60 per Hent O. the trees are dead or dying.
 Two agencies, the Connecticut Agricultural experiment station and the United States bureau of plant industry, are working in cooperation to protect the historic white pine from the blister rust as indus1tously us departments of health seek t" prevent the spread of cpidemics among human kind.
 ---> Three hundred years ago, white pine lumber sheltered the fore . fathers today, it is the most ralu- ! able timber tree in Connecticut It Is estimated that the state has 7o,- {. 900 acres of pure pine stands and # 150,0O0 acres of pine in mixture : with other timoer. At a low esti- mate of SIC an acre, this growing pine would be worth $2,00oh hoo,
 Currant and GOaseDerTy Bushes Control Of the white pine blister rust means the destruction of all < currant and gooseberry bushes with Z in goo feet. European black cur rants are 90 dangerous that Connec- ticut law forbds the possession ot them. In the summer months, the disease deylops on the bushes and in the fall the wind carries 1t tc the pines. The trees do not infect each other and where no curran p or gooseberry bushes grow, pines dc not die from the blister rust
 -, That the first state wide eradica v tfon Of entrants and goOsebarrie within infecting distance of whit pines will be completed by July 1 1880, is the belief Of J. F. Riley, Jr, l- of the United States bureau of plan industry, who is in charge of tn field work in Connecticut Wher that is done. the state still will b
 secuted from year to year. Plant < will grow from seed or sprout iron roots which are not completely re

Mai. Gen. M. w. Ireland. sur
geon general of the U. S. Army, in

declared that tuberculosis. pneu-

Among other leading causes of
death in the Army were these
with malignant tumors. Suicides
decreased in the last fiscal year
to 40, compared with 50 in the
previous year.
The medical corps which cares
for the sick, had the highest nos

death rate and the highest non

eating it to be a more dangerous

corps.
The report says: I'VE may with

POLICE WAY
HANDLE
CASE

Although attorneys for IN
spector William S. Shelby and
Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly have made
demands that they be brought
before an open tribunal and
given chance to Vindicate their
handling of the Mcpherson death
investigation, the attitude of Dis
trict officials indicates that i'm
mediate action along this line is
improbable.
The letters to the Commits
sioners, in which the accused OF,
ficerS' counsel asked for an open
trial before a tribunal which can
compel attendance of witnesses,
have been submitted to Maj. Don
aid A. Dawson, Assistant En-
Rineer Commissioner and Cor
poration Counsel William w.
Bride.
Dawson and Bride are members
of the special board appointed
early last month to investigate
for the District government
charges that Shelby and Kelly
"bungled" in their handling Of
the Mcpherson case.
Halted Investigation
They discontinued their inves-
tigation, on the Commissioners
order, when members of the July
grand jury, which made the
bungling charges. failed to appear
and back up their charges. Last
week they were instructed to re-
sumo it.
Major Dawson, however, will
probably be occupied for several
days with his duties as chairman
of the special board Investigating
the explosion at McCrorys s.
and-10 cent store. This board
began it's hearings today.
Bride indicated that he will
make an announcement within a
few days regarding the Shelby
Kelly question. It is considered
likely that the twoman board
may refer the question to the po-
lice trial board to be handled in
the regular manner.
Drawing Full Pay
While the demand of the &C
cused officers for an open hearing
is considered by their superiors
to be a just one, the fact that
neither Shelby nor Kelly has been
under suspension, and both have
been drawing full pay, is also
being taken into consideration
it was said at the District Build
ing, and there seemed to be no
tendency to hurry about it.
When the investigation into the
charges of the July Grand Jury
begins, members of the jury who
sidestepped the hearings of Bride
and Davison's board will probably
be subpoenaed. in accordance with
Shelby and Kelly's demands that
they be allowed to face their &C
CuSers.
