TUSSOCK MOTHS ON CITY TREES Spray Application, Tanglefoot Recommended. Presence of the tussock moth on Indianapolis park and lawn trees has been reported to George Morgan. assistant park superintendent. The newly hatched caterpillar is pale, sometimes yellow tinted and covered with long hairs, Morgan said. The grown larva is about one and one-half inches long, with four white tussocks, or branches, on its back, behind which are two shiny, red warts. The head is brilliant coral red with a fringe of white hair. Two black plumes are behind the head and one black and two yellow stripes down the back. Larva seek sheltered positions and spin silken cocoons. Eggs are deposited and two weeks later young caterpillars appear. Leaf structure, except the midrids, is devoured by the moth. A thorough application of spray, composed of 4-6 pounds of arsenate of lead paste, or 2-3 pounds of powder to 50 gallons of water, as soon as moths appear, is recommended. Eggs should be destroyed. Branding trees with tanglefoot will prevent migration. ADMITS FLIER 'FAKE' Bookkeeper Invented Nun-gesser-Coli Tale. Bv United Brest QUEBEC, Quebec, June 16.—Just to relieve the monotony of life in the lumber camp village of Chicoutimi, in northern Quebec, an accountant named A. Bais, telephoned to River Bend, more than a hundred miles north of here, yesterday reporting that the missing French fliers. Charles Nungcsser and Francois Cilo, had been found. The report was scon relayed to Quebec and from there it was telegraphed and cabled to all parts of the world. Blais was located by the United Press last night. He admitted he had perpetrated the hoax “just to relieve the monotony of life.” The idea suggested itself to him, he added, by reports that flares had been sighted in the region of the camps of the Price Brothers Lumber Company, for whom Blais works.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOUSE LION IS ANNOYING TOWN English Mistress Scoffs — Simba’s All Right. liu l v iti'd Press WANTAGE .England, June 16. “Lie down, Simba!” Smacking response. “Lie down, Simba!” A rumbling growi, a defiant glance around, and Simba lies down—or always has so far. What the population of Wantage is wondering is what will happen if Simba ever definitely decides not to lie down. Particularly the postman, who has to visit the house three times a day.

Simba is a half-grown African lion, with a fondness for buffeting persons with its paws and taking nips out of their legs. It's ;ust his* playfulness, his mistress, Mrs. S. W. Silver, racehorse owner and big game hunter, says. Mrs. Silver has such great confidence in her pet s tractability that she not only lets it run around the house, but even leaves it on the lawn of her garden when she is out. She chains it to a little stake which she drives into the lawn with a croquet mallet, remarking, between strokes, that Simba never can intimidate her. Semi-official representations have been made to Mrs. Silver on behalf of the villagers that Simba ought to be either in a zoo or in some place more nearly approximating his native haunts than an English village, but Mrs. Silver scoffs at them.

Sinclair Sells Bibles Camouflaged as ‘Oil’

Bv United Brest BOSTON, J.une 16.—The public meeting held here today by Upton Sinclair in defense of his locally suppressed novel, “Oil,” ended in an anti-climax. Sinclair had announced he would attempt to sell Shakespeare's “Hamlet,” the Bible, and, finally, his own “Oil” to police in an effort to get arrested on charges of selling obscene literature. In the presence of half a hundred men and women at the Byron St. house, at the foot of Beacon Hill, the author read excerpts from all three books and offered them one by one to police. Police officers refused Jto pay a quarter for either "Hamlet” or the Bible, but willingly paid $1.50 for a copy bearing the screeching cover of “Oil.” Then they told Sinclair he should appear in court tomorrow. As they were leaving the hall, the officers peeked into the banned book and were amazed to find they had bought, not “Oil,” but a Bible camouflaged with an "Oil” cover. They demanded their money back—and got it. “A local newspaper man bet me I couldn't sell the Bible to the Boston police,” Sinclair laughingly explained. “Now I've won the bet, that's all.”

Sherlock Dies Again Conan Doyle Slays Famous Sleuth for Second and Last Time.

BY CLIFFORD L. DAY rr — I ONDON, June 16.—Sherlock i I Holmes, famous story book I Lj I detective, who confounded criminals with test tube and magnifying glass, scorning the while the stupid blunders of Scotland Yard, died today. Holmes’ death was announced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose stories of Sherlock have been read by millions of persons of all ages. Sir Arthur, who latterly lias been won from the school of scientific criminology to the occult practices of spiritualism, explained Holmes’ death in the preface to his own, "Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.” “I fear,” wrote Sir Arthur, “That Mr. Sherlock Holmes may become like one of those popular tenors who. having outlived their time still are tempted to make repeated farewell bows before their indulgent audiences. This must cease. Sherloc< must go the way of all flesh, material or imaginary.” r— —| HE mewing of Sherlock's vioITI anc * reso^u^c footfall I * I no longer will be heard along Baker St., where, since Sherlock took up his famous lodgings, there has been an invasion of giant motor busses and jamming of traffic. So crowded has the street become that it no longer was suitable, anyway. to the contemplation and modest delights of a man who delved in the mysteries of crime. Sherlock, fittingly, had two lives and it was his second Sir Arthur took from him today. The first time Sherlock died with his boots on. He long had pitted his skill against the criminal cunning of Dr. Moriarity, one of the basest of villains, and finally the pair met lncombat on the edge of a cliff. Before the eyes of Watson, of course you remember Watson, the pair fought and fell to their deaths. ■ u r SHERLOCK'S friends had Bnot had enough of him. Sir Arthur was besought to resurect his master character. And. finally. Sherlock came back to life, having escaped death on the cliff in miraculous manner common to super-human sleuths. He continued his career as the terror of wrongdoers and the envy of the slow-witted gentlemen from Scotland Yard. Now Sherlock has again, rather, he has been murdered and by the hand of his creator. Perhaps his violent second demise was 1 a final gesture of defiance to the yard: let them solve tt if they can. But even In death, Sherlock will ! not be idle. Resting comfortably in his pages on thousands of library shelves, Sherlock will be with us forever, peering through his glass, rolling a bit of cigar in his palm, or smiling a long-suffering smile as he arrives on the scene of a crime to find that the stupid oafs from the Yard have obliterated the real clues in their clumsy search of the premises. TRUSTIES LOCKED UP Terre Haute Sheriff, Hit as Lax, Has New System. tin United Brett TERRE HAUTE. Ind., June 16. Federal prisoners at the county jail had been demoted from their jobs of trusties today by Sheriff Ray Foncannon, following his conviction and fine of S2OO and costs yesterday by Federal Judge Robert C.

URGE PURCHASE OF PARK LAND Civic Club Delegates and Schmidt Make Request. North side civic club representatives and Gustav G. Schmidt, city plan commission president, urged the park board to purchase a 300 acre tract of land for a north side park this afternoon at a public hearing. The body recommended the purchase of tiie property, to be developed into a huge park project, after Dr. H. H. Wheeler who owns 109 acres between White River and the Canal and Boulevard PI. and Delaware St. petitioned the city to plat the ground. Dr. Wheeler agreed to sell the property for appraised value, Schmidt said. Estimated cost of the project is $700,000. Schmidt objected to platting the property, declaring it would be built up with small houses out of harmony with the surrounding fiine north side homes. He pointed out that the city should acquire the territory along the rives as development of a residential district would entail heavy expenditure by the city for a flood prevention program and additional sewage system.

FAMOUS DERBY THREATENED IN POLITICAL ROW 1 Governor Must Select New Officials for Louisville by June 25. Bn United Brett LOUISVILLE, Ky.. June 16.—The future of one of America’s greatest sport classics, the Kentucky Derby, today became involved in Louisville's scrambled political situation. Kentu- y, noted afar for its thoroughbred horses and its Derby day. has divided over the propriety of gambling on horse races. The issue, already launched as part of the November gubernatorial campaign, arose today to plague Governor William J. Fields as he pondered appointments to replace the mayor and forty-eight other officials of Louisville. On the Governor rests the responsibility of appointing an entire new city and county administration as a result of the action of the Court of Appeals at Frankfort, which nullified the 1925 elections. The mandate of the court, effect - ive June 25, will remove forty-nine Republican officials of Louisvillr, from the mayor down, said nine Jefferson County Republican officials. More than 2,000 office holders are affected. Democratic leaders have urged the Governor to appoint the entire Democratic ticket which lost out in the 1925 election. Joseph O’Neal, who was Democratic candidate for mayor, is reported to frown on the racing institution, and Governor Fields has indicated his support or Robert T. Crowe, Democratic candidate for Governor on a racing program. Whatever appointment the executive makes, leaders forecast, would have an indirect effect upon the racing issue in the November elections. Meanwhile, the joy of the Democrats here was expressed in n demonstration which took the form ol a street parade, in which Republicans were jibed. CAMP QUOTA EXCEEDED Indiana Enlistments, for. .Military Training Pass 1,400.
