ship Repulse.
Before sailing last night for Valencia
to pick up refugees from Madrid, the
Quincy requested that the Exochords
stop at Palma for foreigners anxious
to leave.

ported he left Palma with the refugees
at II am. Spanish time), but was
still close enough to the harbor to
witness the bombardment of the city
from the air.

They also talked about putting it In

Danger to Others.
Guthrie said he discouraged the idea
and told them it was a Franken-
stein-might fall on them-that 1t
might wipe out the whole city" He
said the men talked of sending the
contaminated milk into the district
most thickly populated with their
enemies"
Did they name any particular
class Of people?" asked Dowling.
"They said the jews" Guthrie re-
piled.
James j. Stewart, Ecorse filling sta
ton attendant, who identified himself
as a lieutenant of the Black Legion,
testified he attended a meeting the
night of October S, 1885, when Robert
Penland was taken before the Inner
circle" for failure to attend meetings.
He said he was on duty with the
"outer guard" a quarter-mile from
the scene.
The six men charged with kidnap-
ing Penland. q steel worker, from his
home and hogging him are Frederick
A. Gulley, who identified Penland at
his former examination as the vic
tim" of a legion fiogging; Earl Ang-
stadt, Charles King, Thomas F. Cox,
Harold Torrance and Wilbur Robinson.
Penland, first witness for the prose-
cution, declared from the witness
stand yesterday he was not fiogged by
the group, but warned for failure to
attend the meetings regularly. Upon
his promise to attend, he was re-
turned home, he said.
Stewart said that three to four hun
dred men attended the meeting.
Sergt. Robert McWhirter of Ecorse
Police Department was returned to
the stand today and told Of attempts
to locate missing witnesses in the case.
He denied Gulley had been promised
immunity If he took the stand at the
formal examination Of the defend
ants and testified against the others.
In dramatic testimony yesterday, he
declared he joined the organization to
escape death.
He produced bullet, symbol Of
the terrorists, while on the witness
stand, slapped it on the railing beside
his chair and exclaimed:
"I joined the Black Legion to keep
from getting the other end Of that"
Sergt. McWhirter, however, testified
that the defendant Gulley, whom he
arrested, told him Penland was given
"12 or IS lashes" The prosecution
claims Penland minimized his punish
ment in fear of retaliation.
McWhirter disclosed that he once
was subjected to Black Legion trial
before Lawrence, King and Robinson
for alleged misconduct, but was exon
Grated.

The injured flyers, questioned at
Berkane, were reported to have de-

authorities said they were told the
Italians were transporting the planes

Italy Denies Planes Sent.
(T'he Italian press ministry in Rome

Spain and aviation quarters suggested
the ships probably had been sold by
Italy in Spain several years ago.

THE act Of Italy is contrary to in
ternational law since the rebels do not

clared the newspaper Echo de Paris.
But the offense is against only the
Spanish government. It Is incumbent
on us merely to intern the fallen

Communists clamored for French

THE GARDEN

BY Ferdinand Wiener

B-r-r-r-r-! This morning doesn't
feel so pleasant. March came in
more or less like lamb, but is
going out like lion with teeth
in his mouth. hope no one was so
moved by the few balmy days that
we had, that he removed the mulch
ing from the perennial plants. It
would mean death to them.
What the writer is going to say
about transplanting, will seem as
useless and needless REPETITION, or
something everyone is well ac-
quainted with. Yet, I find right
along, that some one asks every
so often, what transplanted trees
mean. Trees, shrubs, etc., are trans
planted one or more times, or in
the case of certain evergreens, as
much as four times, to secure good
root systems. Many plants If allow
ed to stand without transplanting
in the nursery, merely develop a
single tap root that goes down far
below the surface. When such a
plant is moved from the nursery to
some ones place and planted in a
permanent position, it grows very
slowly, and often dies If the condi-
tions are such that the plant must
struggle for an existence.
Small trees or shrubs are not so
much affected when moved from
what is called the Seeding stage.
This applies to evergreens also
when of small size. Folks often
bring saplings from the woods and
plant them with satisfactory re-
suits. Then again, they bring home
quite large trees with poor results.
The blame is placed on the variety,

breathtaking discoveries the new

In Why Keep Them Alive Mr..
de Kruif realizes that these discov-
cries are not meant for all. For, on
the one side, there are discoveries
and new marvels Of science which
could not do 80 much to relieve the
suffering; and, on the other side,
are the sick and manned who can
not afford to buy that science.
Paul de Kruif has collected an
overwhelming lot Of evidence. And
he has written a strong, convincing
book, both scientific and human.
IIASKER'S CHESS PRIMER
This is an elementary text book for
beginners which teaches Chess by
new, easy and comprehensive
method.
In this book DIR. Emanuel Lasker,
the great player, for 26 years cham
pion of the world, successfully as
sumes the role of a great teacher.
The beginners interest is held from
the start and increases with his
gradually increasing knowledge of
the game. Learning chess by this
method becomes a pleasure.

and 1t Is thought to be a difficult
sort to grow.
Transplanting In the nursery
gives the plant better root sys-
tenn. Roofing pruning in the proper
manner for the different varieties
is performed at this time. A plant
with vigorous root system not
only withstands moving better, but
the result Is ability to make salts
factory growth during difficult and
severe conditions. Not only that,
but also plants that are to have
their tops severely pruned or shear
ed as in the case of certain orna-
mental evergreen, certain shrubs,
and shade trees also, will have a
root system that can support a
heavy top growth where it is de-
sired.
Transplanting raises the final
cost to the buyer, but makes the
plant also worth a good deal more.
1t is one Of the costliest operations
in the nursery, but the professional
plantsman knows that it is essen
tial for the very best results.
Those interesed in setting out
irises in the spring, should do this
as early as possible. Late planting
for irises is not recommended by
iris experts.
Columbine plants also are best,
set out very early. Delphinum
plants ought not to be disturbed
while dormant. Moving before
plants have made any growth at
all, causes a rot to set in, the
plants eventually dying.
Answer to last weeks question.
The ancient Greeks in offering OBJ
lations to Apollo, presented Tur-
nips in vessels of lead, beets in sill
yer, while radishes were offered
in vessels Of beaten gold, so great
was the estimation in which this
vegetable was held. Pliny spoke of
radishes being grown in saline
soils, as being Of the highest quail
ity, but modern experience does
not bear this out. He described sew
eral kinds being grown at Rome,
one being SO transparent that one
could see through 1t. Radishes were
introduced in England during the
10th century. France and Germany
are probably the sources Of the best
varieties.

peared and discussed the PWA Pro-
jects under consideration and ask
ed the City for a lease Of the Fair
Grounds and for the City to spon-

The Council took no definite ac-
ton, but it was practically agreed
that if projects could be put over
without cost to the City and with
proper reservations, that a lease
could be arranged for.
The Fair officials agreed to have
Mr.. Ferrol come up and meet the
Council for further details.
The meeting adjourned.

Observations From
Washington
(By Congressman Harold Knutson

More Taxes
On Monday the Ways and
Means Committee began holding
hearings on the new tax proposal
which will probably continue into
next week. The primary purpose of
the new tax bill is to raise revenue
and compel corporations to distri-
butte their undivided profits by i'm
posing tax of 33 1-3 per cent on
all future undistributed earnings.
So many believe that no govern
ment tax has already been paid up
on these undivided SURPRISES, when
as a matter of fact taxes ranging
from IL to Is per cent have been
paid. This idea has no doubt had
much to do with creating the SEN
timent for the enactment of a tax
law that will compel the distribu-
ton of SURPRISES to avoid the heavy
