1 YEAR LOCUSTS SCHEDULED AGAIN State Entomologist Douglas Tells How to Avoid Damage by Spraying. Indianapolis. March 3. This is one or the years for the possible reappearance of the "seventeen-year locust," and It. W. Dousslas, slate entomologist

bus iacued a cull to the people of the Btuto to take mops to prevent the damago which may be done by this insect. With regard to this pest, Mr. Douglas says: "We are beginning to have calls for Information relative to the appearance of tho seventeen-year locust. Many fruit growers and nurserymen have asked for information to guide them In their stock. The last appearance of the locust, or, aa it should bo called, the cicada, was in 1902. and the possible reoccurrence of tho insect this year is accounted for by tho fact that there are a number of different broods of theso insects, and they do do not all mature at the same time. Seventeen-Years to Develop. "Tho Insect requires seventeen years for its development from the egg to tho adult, and the greater part of this lime is spent in the ground, i where it feeds on the roots of various I plants. Some of the southern broods require but thirteen years for their development, and the common cicada or "dogday harvest fly" Is full grown In two years. This two-year cicada is a familiar insect In many parts of the state each year, be cause there aro two broods of them, and theso two broods overlap, so that we have the Insects each season. "Tho seventeen-year cicada will nnpear in Indiana in but two counties this year. Dearborn and Posey. Theso counties havo a fair distribution of the Insect 8 of what entomologists know as Brood 2 of the seventeen-year cicada. Brood 23. which is the of the thirteen race, will make its appearance in Indiana this season in the following counties: Bartholomew, Daviess, Fayette, Floyd, Gibson, Jackson, Jennings, Knox. Montgomery, Owen, Posey, Putnam. Ripley, Spencer, Sullivan, Vanderburg, Vigo and Warrick. It may be that tho insect will also bo present in some other southern counties, but the list includes those from which there are authentic records. Feared by Fruit Growers. "The cicadas are feared by fruit growers because of their habit of laying their eggs in the twigs of trees especially fruit trees. In orchards the eggs aro laid alwnys in the under side of the branch, and tho wounds are excellent points of entrance for various 1 fungi which destroy the wood. The eggs soon hatch and the young in-: sects emerge to fall to tho ground. : They immediately burrow in the soil j and are not seen again for years. 1 ney ; live deep in the soli and seem to (lisappear in districts that aro cultivated, i connntng tneir aistriuution to woouea sections. 1 hey seldom enter towns or any size, and in this differ from the two-year cicada which is a common insect In Indianapolis. "I desire to get. reports of the oc currence of the locusts when they ap pear this season so that we can more accurately map their distribution in this state. For this reason we want our friends In the south part of the state to keep a close watch for the insects. "Fruit growers need have but little fear of great damage from tho present infestation, as the damage to fruit trees can be prevented to a very great extent by spraying the trees with bordeaux mixture. This is not an inseotcide, but acts as a repellant and the cicadas do not lay their eggs on trees that are so sprayed." Sale cry is foulard silk. Knollenberg's new lino of foulard silk on display. A PROIfUERDICT Rendered by Jury in a C. & O, Case. Without leaving the box in the court room, tho jury in the Butler county. Ohio, court, which heard the trial of the suit of Andrew King against James l Goodrich, receiver of tho C. C. L. railroad, and the road itself, for $10,000 damages, decided upon a verdict after Attorney John F. ttobblns of this city had made a motion for the court to instruct tho jury to find for the defendant. Tho point was argued for several hours resulting In the judge sustaining the motion and Instructing the jury which returned a verdict favorable to the defendant. As eoon as the judge had made his Instructions, one member of the jury nominated a foreman and ho was unanimously elected. It was then only a matter of a few moments before the verdict was reached. King sought damages against the j railroad because of the killing of his j wife by one of the company's trains at a public highway crossing. April 22, KMO. Negligence on the part of the company by the failure of the engineer to sound tho whistle or bell was alleged. Attorney Kobbins made his motion on tho grounds that in law failure to sound the whistle or bell under tho evidence submitted by the plaintiff was not tho proximate cause of Injury. TAYLOR CASE WILL GET HEARING SOON Tho case of assault and battery against Frank Taylor. North Kighth and G streets, will bo called for trial soon. Some time ago Taylor was arrested for shooting at several boys, who. It is alleged, threw brick at him.

VOLUME OF WATER USED BY SCHOOLS Millions of Gallons Consumed in 1910 Officials of Company Say. As a result o( statements regarding tho consumption of water in tne public schools made during the school Investigation of the last few days and which havo been given publicity in

the press, the Richmond City Water Works has prepared the following article in answer: Company's Statement. Through the city press recently statements have been made relative to the water furnished by this company to the various schools, reference having been made particularly to the consumption at the Whitewater school. We will appreciate the favor if you will give us the space to give some data in reference to the amount of water furnished our public schools, as we believe the public is not aware of the great quantity of water that has been and is being furnished free by this company under our present contract with the city. For the past ten years or more this company has had meters on the services supplying tho different schools

in order that we might determine thoitl(at u mjj;ht vaiil1ale unlawful claims

nuanuiy useu iy eacn. anu o mayn monthly examinations find where there were leakages and thus reduce the wato of water that is unnecessary. Reports are made to the superintendent of the school:, Mr. Mott, and through his cooperation we have been able to save a very large quantity of water. It may be interesting to know that the following quantities of water were used at the various schools for the year ending December 15, 1910: Gallons High school 2. M 1,01". Garfield 1.151.250 Starr 1.5S5.500 Finley 1,023. 750 Warner 1.072.500 Whitewater l,40s,500 Hibberd 1,235.250 Vaile 000.750 Baxter 500,250 Fairview 19K,750 Ttotal 11..S00.513 During this period the meters at the Wihtewater and Hibberd schools had stopped registering for one month which would have increased this total j consumption by about 125,000 gallons. For the month ending February 15 the consumption at the various schools was as follows: Gallons High school 022.500 Oarfleld .000 Finley 88.500 Warner 78 000 starrr ir,R 7"iO Whitewater . . . ." 100,500 Vailo p.axter Fairview .101,250 .129 750 '. 10500 ! making a total consumption for the In this month of 1.711,500 gallons. table it will be noticed that the consumption at the Whitewater school was 106.300 gallons; comparing this consumotion with the Starr and Hib-i berd schools, which are larger schools ! it will be noticed that the consump- j tion of the Whitewater school was! higher in proportion than the other two. This has been the case at this school for a number of years, the cause or w hich was due to the leaky urinals and also to the fact that there was. not satisfactory arrangement for turning off the fixtures at night. This meant that there was a continual flow through these fixtures for twenty-four hours out of the day and seven days or the week. It is no fault of this company if the fixtures supplying the urinals were not in satisfactory condition, as there was certainly an ample supply of water being fdrnished enough to flush these fixtures properly if the plumbing had been in proper condition. We have no criticisms to make of the janitors or of any of the school officials, and with the recent change in the plumbing at Whitewater school we believe this waste of water will be remedied. This company has never placed any restriction on the amount of water to be used at the various schools, and has simply tried, through metering and reports to the superin tendent of schools, to get the unnejcessary waste of water reduced. We believe with this information that it will be seen that this company has had no disposition to place any limit on the amount of water that is necessary in the operation of the public schools. Thanking you for the courtesy we are, very truly yours, Richmond City Water Works. OSCAR MASHMEYER RETIRES SATURDAY Deputy sheriff Oscar Mashmeyer, who has been connected with the sheriffs office for four years and two months, will sever hisxconnection on Saturday evening. He has not determined what his future work will be. He has proven one of the most efficient deputies ever serving in the office and it is with much rerget that his friends see himrctire from public service. Clarence Mote, a well known young man. will be the regular deputy during Sheriff Steen s term. DOGS KILL POULTRY AND TOWNSHIP PAYS Two chickens and a turkey which were the property of Mark Reeves, South Sixteenth street, and which were killed by dogs in a raid on his henery on Wednesday evening, have been appraised at $7. according to th reiKrt filed with township trustee James Howarth, Friday. The tortoise live longer than any other known animal.

MANY BILLS HAVE BECOME LAWS NOW The Governor Signs Several Measures, but Also Vetoed Two Thursday.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis. March 3. Governor Marshall -vetoed two legalizing acts of the senate Thursday. Aiken's bill leg-' issued by county auditors, and Farlow's legalizing the issuance of warrants by county auditors tor townships or improvement districts on authority of boards of county commissioners. Concerning the former bill. Gover nor Marshall said in his message to the senate: , "The power to compromise taxes ' was not conferred upon the persons : named in this act. Any question as to omitted taxes should be subject to I public scrutiny and to the investiga lion of the commissioners. One who .1 lias not paid his fair proportion of tax! should not be relieved therefrom by! certificate from the county auditor at'-; ter the tax payer has filed his affidavit of good faith and justice of his claim i to be credited on such alleged omitted taxes." His objection to the Fallow bill was .()(, U) jnjstices as he men tioned in connection with the Aiken biil. The- senate patched up a substitute for the Creenwell bi'.l which the governor vetoed Thursday morning. The original bill legalized warrants issued by county auditors on order of boards of county commissioners and judgment of courts. Senator Green well introduced u substitute bill at once, which protects the auditors as provided in the first bill, but still does not interfere with the collection of any illegal claims which may have been l turned Into cash by other persons. A number of important non-partisan measures became laws Thursday with tho sweep of the governor's pen. Among them were. Shiveley-Beal employers' liability bill. Green w-ell cold storage bill. Harlan bill reducing the Indianapolis general tax levy from 90 to 73 cents. McCarty bill for sanitary conditions in school houses and proper construction. Wood bill, giving police commissioners in cities of 10,000 to 35,000 the right to increase salaries of police officers $10 a month. 1 Clark full switching crew bill. Proctor bill increasing the railroad commission's power with regard to accidents and the reporting of them; compelling the installation of anto-i matic bell ringers: requiring all rail-1 road engines to be equipped withi storm windows; bill giving New York Central power to acquire land for foui'i tracks across portions of Northern Indiana. I Stotsenberg bill extending the time of the superior judges elected in Marion county and elsewhere to January 1. 1915 instead of January 1, 1912. I Grube bill exempting from examinatlon toacners w no nave oeen wormns at the profession six consecutive years. " INSURANCE BILLS PASSED BY HOUSE (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 3. Two bills of no small import in the insurance business were passed by the senate Thursday. One was the Furnas bill regulating the proof of loss in destruction of property by lire or tornado. There was a terrific lobby on hand to save the amendment by which the original force of the bill was destroyed before it reached the senate, but Senator Hunt, aided by Senator Fleming succeeded in restoring the first form of the bill. This forces insurance companies to answer notices of loss within ten days, provides the estimation of loss by two sets of disinterested ap praisers, and gives the opportunity for (the loser to sue the company at once abolishing costly legal delays. The bill passed, 26 to 15. The Buennegal bill prohibiting rebates on fire and other insurance premiums by companies in order to win business was passed S3 to 9. The Jordan is the most crooked river in the world, meandering 213 miles in a distance of sixty.
