PHILADELPHIA Aug. 19.-Phila-
delphia, stamping ground of many
political figure of legendary note
tonight mourned one of the most
colorful of the decade-former May
or S. Davis Wilson.
The 57-year-old executive died to-
day of stroke and high blood pres
sure.
His death closed a stormy career
that included election as Mayor on
an Independent Republican ticket
frequent bucking of established po-
litical machines and indictment for
misbehavior in office
Ailing since last December. Mr.
Wilson had been absent from his
Office for months and bedfast most
of the time.
Retired Last Week.
Only eight days ago he formally
gave up his duties.
George Connell, council president,
who took over as Acting Mayor. was
advanced tonight as the probable
selection of council to serve during
the four months of the Wilson term
still remaining.
Council already has arranged to
meet shortly after public funeral
services for Mr.. Wilson at II am.
Tuesday.
Bernard Samuel chairman of
councils Finance Committee, said
other councilmen confirmed his
opinion that Mr.. Connells selec-
ton would be routine.
Always an Independent, Mr.. Will
son on several occasions jumped
across party lines.
Sought Senate Nomination.
He was elected Mayor four years
ago as an Independent and Re-
publican-but subsequently shifted
his registration to campaign un-
successfully in the 1888 primary for
the Democratic nomination for
United States Senate.
His term as Mayor was turbulent
throughout.
AS result of a special grand jury
investigation of gambling, he was
indicted last August along with sew
eral high police officials on charges
of misbehavior in office.
That indictment was ruled de-
fective, but he was re-indicted in
February. He never came to trial.

japanese Beetles
Gain in Some Areas
Of Virginia
Increase in Richmond
And Alexandria,
OfficioIs Assert
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 19.-The
slow-moving army of Japanese bee
ties, invading Virginia areas from
the North, increased its destructive
forces in the Richmond and Alexan-
dria areas this season, but ap-
parently gained no ground in fight
ing" around Winchester and Char
lottesville.
State Entomologist E. T. French
who is directing the war against
the beetles, said 10000 of the pests
were trapped in the Richmond area,
as compared to 1000 last year. He
said the insect increased in num-
bers also on the Eastern Shore
and in the area around Alexandria.
Traps around Winchester, how
ever, yielded only nine beetles from
400 traps. The infestation around
Charlottesville was also light. Stud
les indicated that while infestation
became heavier in some sections
the infested areas did not become
materially larger.
Mr.. French said the peach blight,
which was prevalent in Rhode
Island, had not been discovered in
Virginia.
The webb worm, which builds it's
tentlike webs in trees, was report
ed to be prevalent this year in all
sections of the State. The fall
army worm is also causing consid-
cradle damage in Southwestern Vir-
ginia and apparently has spread to
the northern neck section.
