ATIENII()N CALLED T0 ]1 * BROWN TAIL MOTHS Predicted That Pests Will Cover Er- *tire State Despite Precautions. New Haven, Conn.,, April 3.—In- reasing attention to the spread of 3;9 brown-tail moth in Connecticut is called today by a bulletin issued by the agricultural experiment station here, dealing with the entomology of this obnoxious and exiremely destruc- tive pest. The predictfbn is made that the pest will continue to spread and fradually cover the entire state in spite of the work being done by the station to eradicate winter nests. One- third of the state is -infested, the moths first being noticed four yvears ago this month in the extreme north- east portion. Scouting and removal of nests has been kept up but the spread has steadily gone forward. A piap which is part of the bulletin shows that the pest has practically covered the area of the First and Sec- ond congressional districts, and hav- ing no aversion to political divisions of the state it is likely to appear in the other districts before next fall. Nésts have also been found in Fish- er's island. " The brown-tail coterpillars which hatch out in August devour leaves of almost every species of tree. If the caterpillars are lusty and have vigor- ous appetites they strip follage com-« pletely. While maturing in this. state hairs on their backs break off and these hairs carried by the wind are ikely to fall upon the skin of per- sons. Frequently an annoying rash follows. The bulletin illustrates the caterpil- lars in its different forms, and des- cribes means to combat the pest.

That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician 17 years and calomel's old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olve Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. \ . Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not gontain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetabl axative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar- coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act nor- pally. They never force them to natural action, df you have a *‘dark brown mouth" now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are constipatéd, you'll fing quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edward's lve Tablets at bedtime, housands take one or two every night just to keey right.

New York, April 3.—A court, con- sisting of 'a committee of pastors ap- pointed by the New York east con- ference for the trial of the Rev. Dr. Jacob Embury Price, of the Wash- ington Helghts Methodist Episcopal church began hearing evidence today. Dr. Price is charged with improper conduct with women members of his congregation. He Is sixty years old and has served thirtyiseven years in church and reform work. His con- gregation. has given him a vote of confidence. Dr. Price was dean of the Ocean Grove Summer School of Theology for five years, devoted several years to temperance work, has held import- ant charges in New Jersey and New York, and was one of the founders of+ the Epworth league. He was graduated from Dickinson college and Syracuse university and was for a time vice-president of Pennington seminary. J. Vreeland Haring, a handwriting expert, and the eight women, who are Dr. Price’s accusers, were ready to testify before the committee to- day. The complaint against Dr. Price, specifies charges of miscondiict more serious than the ‘“kissing” charges already made public. Dr. Arthur L. Jamleson acted as conference prosecutor.* The attor- ney for the defense was Dr. Frank J. Belcher, pastor of the Five Points Mission. The complaint was framed by Claude Dore, a lawyer retained by the husband of one ‘of the com- platnants. SOUTHERN CROSS IS . CAUSE OF WORRY (Continued from First Page.) the Furness Point. Great Excitement Prevails, It has been many years since the city has been sq stirred over an ocean disaster. Hundreds of people roamed the streets all night, besieging the newspaper offices, the telegraph sta. tions, the government chambers and the Grenfell Institute where the sur- vivors will be housed, but news was meagre, while no list of dead was available. Many of the crowd were relatives or intimate friknds of those who sailed a month ago on the New- foundland. Early in the morning a rumor spread that one of the ships was off There was a rush for the water front but after a long walit it proved to be a false alarm. A message received here at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon from the cap- téfin of the Bellaventure says that the ‘total dead of the crew of the Newfoundland is seventy-seven. One hundred and twelve were rescued and of these thirty-six are sick, Line steamer Eagle Report Is Dented, New York, April 3.—A private mes- sage received here today said that the sealer Southern Cross had not ar- rived at Channel, N. F, as reported from St. Johns, and grave fears were expressed for the vessel's safety, No Confirmation Received. Confidence in the safety of the Southern Cross excited by the report that she was at Channel, gave way to doubt as the day progressed and no confirmation of the tidings was received. The only message received here indicating that the sealer had found refuge was the despasch early today from North Sydney, N. 8. This stated that wireless messages received at Sydney last night reported the Southern Cross at Channel. The government was skeptical re- garding the report and this morning sent a wireless message to the Unit- ed States revenue cuttér Seneca ask- ing her to search for the Southern Cross. The Seneca is patrolling for iceberga seven hundred miles off Cape Race. Practically all communica- tion by telegraph or wireless with the southern coast has been interrupted since Tuesday when the gale tore down the telegraph lines and aerials. | Private Message Recelved. New York, April 3.—Bowring and company, agents here for a half dozen ships, including the Florizel, now on the sealing grounds off New- foundland, today received a private message from St. Johns, as follows: “Regret to inform you that one hun- dred men of the steamer Newfound- land were caught on the ice in a howl- ing blizzard Tuesday night. Ships have picked up between sixty .and gseventy men, frozen to death. Thirty men who survived the blizzard have been picked up by other ships.” - The agents announced that addi- tional advices said the Newfoundland had not been damaged. “When the sealsking are cut from the carcasses they are piled upon the ice until the end of the hunt,” a member of the firm explained. “As we understand it, the men from the Newfoundland were bringing in the sking when they were overtaken by the blizzard. As a result of the dis- aster there is not a single skin on board the Newfoundland.” Bowring and company sald they had no word of the Southern Cross. The last tRey heard of her was on | Tuesday. Very Productive Season. Advices received here from Johns Indicate that this has been one St. | i of the most productive seasons in the history of the Newfoundland sealing industry. The Terra Nova, which Capt. Scott used on his expedition to the South Pole, has on board the skins from 28,000 -seals. Two hun- dred thousand seals were killed by the entire fleet, according to estimates here. No News at Curling. Curling, N. F., April 3.—The miss- ing sealer Southern Cross had not been reported here this morning. The blizzard continues. Deaths und Funerals. Burr A. Johnson. Burr A.

New York, April 3.—Officers of the New Haven Railroad system admitted today that negotiations for the sale of the Merchants and Miners' Trans- portation company to the Mercantiie Trust company of Baltimore, wers under ' way but they said that the price of the property and other de- tails had not been settied. Chairman Howard Elliott of the New Haven, who visited the financial district, de- clineq to discuss the matter. . ¢ Mentioned Yesterday. New Haven, Conn., April 3.—It was stated here today with authority that the matter of the e of the Mer- chants and Miners’ Transportation company, by the New Haven roaa, was not mentioned at the meeting of the directors yesterday. It has been understodd for some time that the company’s interest—25,317 shares-~ would probably be sold in the imme- diate future. The stock holdings in the Merchants and Miners was ©61 per cent. and the stock has been car- ried as an investment of the . New England Navigation company, the holding company for the various ma- rine interests of the New Haven road. The book value of the stock was carried at $2,624,600 in the last annuél statement of the company. The controlling interest in the Mer- chants and Miners was obtained in March, 1907, when the Boston and Philadelphia Steamship company, owned by the New Haven road was absorbed by the Merchants and Min- ers, and the rallroad company bought 651 per cent. of the stock of the lat- ter company. At the time the agree- ment, it was understood, was that ‘the New Haven company should pur- chase $2,600,000 par value of the cap- ital stock of the Merchants ana Miners company and would deliver in payment $2,000,000 par value of the New Haven company's stock. The marine company's stock was de- posited in Baltimore in trust and in this way the control was nominally maintained in Baltimore and the com- pany operated as an independent one so far as managerial conduct was concerned.

TARIFF ACT FAILS TO REDUCE REVENUE Report for First Six Months Shows Avcrage Decrease of About $4,000,000. ‘Washington, April 3.—The Unders wood-8immons tariff act went into effect six months ago today, and present indications are that it will not reduce customs revenue any more than was estimated in congress at tho time of passage. According to the treasury March statement customs revenues amount- ed to about $26,000,000, which is about $1,600,000 less than the Payne- Aldrich law produced in Mareh, 1913, That was a marked increase over February, when revenues fell over $10,000,000 compared to the same month 6f 1912, The avegage decrease in customs revenue for the six months the Un- derwood-S8immons act has’ been in operation is placed at about $4,000,- Ooo\but officials wer# confident 10~ day that would be reduced iIn the coming six months. The annual re- duction was estimated at about $45,- 000,000 a year. Desgpite reports of an unexpected failure of income tax returns to promise the revenue necessary to off- set the difference in customs, ofll- clals were inclined today to believe that the government would find its original expectations re: ed.
