EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
DOMESTIC. — none  of  guilty  worn  en¬ 
tered,  June  14.  in  the  United  States  Dis¬ 
trict  Court  in  Philadelphia,  by  George 
Ilt/il  Dairy  maple,  of  New  York;  Thomas 
G.  Westrott.  of  Newark,  and  James  N. 
II  alio  way  of  Philadelphia,  on  charges 
pnferred  by  the  Government  that  they 
used  the  mails  to  defraud  Unrulier  mer¬ 
chants  of  approxiniiitely  $M0,000.  Ac¬ 
cording  to  postal  inspectors,  the  men 
would  order  lumber  on  consignment,  re¬ 
ject  it  and  then  buy  it  in  at  a  action,  giv¬ 
ing  worthless  notes  in  payment.  Sen¬ 
tence  was  deferred  to  give  the  defendants 
an  opportunity  to  make  restitution  to 
some  of  their  victims. 
Lightning  setting  fire  to  five  tanks 
each  containing  Un.000  barrels  of  oil  be¬ 
longing  to  the  Gypsy  Oil  Company,  near 
Cleveland,  OI<In„  June  14,  caused  an  es¬ 
timated  loss  of  $500,000. 
The  annexation  of  Wostgato  and  Oc¬ 
cidental  to  Los  Angelos,  Cal.,  ratified  by 
the  voters  at  a  recent  election,  makes  Los 
Angelos  the  largest  municipality  in  the 
United  States  in  area.  It  has  a  total 
area  of  1537.92  square  miles,  crowding 
Greater  New  York,  with  an  area  of  314.75 
square  miles,  into  second  place.  Chi¬ 
cago  is  third  with  1 1  IS  and  Philadelphia 
fourth  with  129.  The  completion  of  a 
$23,000,000  aqueduct  which  brings  pure 
mountain  spring  water  by  gravity  a  dis¬ 
tance  of  250  miles  is  responsible  for  the 
development  in  Los  Angeles’s  area.  It 
will  supply  2.000,000  persons. 
Four  persons  lost  their  lives  and  eight, 
others  had  narrow  escapes  when  the  gas¬ 
olene  boat  Marion,  bound  from  Bath,  N. 
C.,  to  Washington,  N.  C.,  sank  in  the 
Pimlico  River,  June  15.  The  Marion 
left  Hath  for  Washington  with  a  cargo 
of  potatoes,  which,  it  is  believed,  made 
her  topboavy  and  caused  the  accident. 
Samuel  Grier,  superintendent  of  mo¬ 
torcars  at  the  Panama  Canal,  accom¬ 
plished  for  the  first  time,  June  US,  the 
feat  of  driving  an  automobile  across  the 
Isthmus.  Owing  to  the  hick  of  roads. 
23  of  the  47  miles’  distance  was  run  over 
railroad  ties.  The  actual  running  time 
was  five  hours  10  minutes.  M.  Dodges, 
a  Government  chauffeur,  in  the  follow¬ 
ing  car,  was  killed  when  his  machitfe 
tumbled  over  the  railroad  embankment. 
Fred  Marline,  of  the  New  York  City 
Produce  Company,  aud  his  brother,  Ed¬ 
ward  Marhoe.  owner  of  the  Garden  City 
Creamery,  were  sec  f  enced  at  Chicago, 
June  19,  to  five  years  in  the  Federal 
prison  at.  Leavenworth.  I\an.,  and  fined 
$25,000  and  to  nine  years  and  six  months’ 
imprisonment,  and  fined  $5,000,  respect¬ 
ively.  by  Federal  Judge  Landis  on 
charges  of  illegally  coloring  and  selling 
oleomargarine. 
Lightning,  June  10.  struck  a  storage 
tank  containing  IS. 000  barrels  of  oil  of 
the  Tidewater  Pipe  Line  at  their  pump 
station  near  Titusville,  Pa.  The  loss  on 
the  oil  and  tank  will  reach  $25,000. 
Fixing  a  scale  of  prices  for  photo¬ 
engraving  in  this  country  is  a  violation 
of  the  Donnelly  anti-trust  act.  accord¬ 
ing  to  a  Grand  Jury  finding  in  New 
York,  June  20.  when  eight  members  of 
the  Photo  Engravers  Hoard  of  Trade 
were  indicted.  It  is  alleged  that  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  board  met  last  March  and 
agreed  on  prices  materially  affecting 
magazines  and  book  publishers.  The 
Trade  Press  Association  complained  that 
the  new  scale  increased  prices  from  30 
to  200  per  cent. 
John  F.  Farrell.  New  York  State  Su- 
pcrintemlnnt  of  Weights  and  Measures, 
has  sent  notices  to  meat,  packers  that  he 
will  insist  that  all  wrappers  on  hams, 
bacon  and  smoked  or  cured  meat  shall 
be  so  marked  that  purchasers  will  know 
the  weight  of  the  wrapper  and  the  com¬ 
modity.  as  required  by  State  law.  Mr. 
Farrell’s  action  followed  a  decision  of  tbe 
United  States  Supreme  Uourt.  in  the  case 
of  Armour  &  Go-  against  the  State  of 
North  Dakota,  upholding  the  constitu¬ 
tionality  of  State  laws  requiring  indica¬ 
tions  of  net  weight  to  be  made.  It  is 
understood  that  most  packers  wit  it 
plants  in  t.he  State  have  complied  with 
the  law.  although  Certain  large  outside 
Concerns  supplying  the  New  York  State 
market  have  consistently  fought  it.  At 
the  trials  of  several  cases  testimony 
showed  that  wrappings  which  cost  loss 
than  five  cents  were  sold  at  20  cents  or 
more,  or  at  the  same  rate  as  the  meat. 
The  Vegetable  Growers’  Association  of 
America  may  hold  its  annual  convention 
at  Chicago  this  year,  some  time  in  Oc¬ 
tober  or  November. 
MEXICO- — June  15  a  Mexican  raid 
on  San  Ignacio,  40  miles  southeast  of 
Laredo.  Tex.,  resulted  in  three  American 
soldiers  dead  and  six  wounded.  The  at- 
taek  was  made  on  a  troop  of  the  Four¬ 
teenth  Cavalry.  The  leader  of  the  raid¬ 
ers  was  a  Carranza  colonel.  June  IS 
President  Wilson  issued  a  call  to  Na¬ 
tional  Guard  organizations  of  every  State 
in  the  Union  for  service  on  the  Mexican 
border.  According  to  the  last  reports  of 
the  Division  of  Militia  Affairs  of  the 
War  Department,  the  “paper’’  strength 
of  the  entire  National  Guard  exclusive 
of  coast  artillery  was  something  over 
117,000  enlisted  men.  The  total  u lim¬ 
ber  of  enlisted  men  called  for  in  this 
summons,  exclusive  of  signal  corps  and 
medical  corps,  is  93.51  S,  divided  as  fol¬ 
lows:  Infantry,  70.115;  cavalry.  6.435; 
field  artillery.  9.923,  and  engineers, 
1,040.  June  IS  orders  were  issued  for 
the  Pacific  fleet  to  leave  at  once  for 
Mexican  wafers.  Four  warships  and 
three  destroyers  were  ordered  to  Mexi¬ 
can  porta  on  the  Atlantic  coast.  June 
20  Gen  Funsfon  asked  the  War  Depart¬ 
ment.  for  05.000  men  of  the  National 
Guard,  to  he  sent  as  soon  as  available. 
WASHINGTON— The  diplomatic  and 
consular  appropriation  bill  was  passed  by 
the  Senate.  June  30,  carrying  appropria¬ 
tions  aggregating  nearly  $2,500,000  for 
the  expenses  of  the  diplomatic  and  con¬ 
sular  service.  The  Senate  added  $150,- 
000  for  expenses  of  the  embassies,  lega¬ 
tions  and  consular  offices  abroad  to  meet 
the  increase  due  to  the  war.  The  Sec¬ 
retary  of  State  had  recommended  $225.- 
000  for  this  purpose,  and  the  House  com¬ 
mittee  recommended  $200,000,  which  the 
House  voted  out.  of  the  bill.  The  Sen¬ 
ate  restored  tin*  item,  but  limited  the  ex¬ 
penditure  to  the  war  zone. 
In  view  of  the  threatening  Mexican 
situation  the  Navy  Department  has 
asked  Congress  to  increase  the  enlisted 
strength  of  the  navy  from  54.000  to  74,- 
700  and  to  authorize  the  President  to 
raise  this  number  to  $7,000.  The  action 
was  taken  following  a  conference  at  the 
White  House,  June  20.  between  Presi¬ 
dent  Wilson,  Secretary  Daniels.  Chair¬ 
man  Tillman  of  the  Senate  Naval  Com¬ 
mittee  and  Senator  Swanson. 
A  test  is  to  he  made  regarding  the 
availability  of  hydroaeroplanes  for  sea- 
scout  duty  during  the  Summer  man- 
euvrrs  of  the  Atlantic  fleet.  Six  sea 
planes  are  now  being  put  aboard  the 
armored  cruiser  North  Carolina,  station 
ship  at  the  Pensacola  naval  aviation  sta¬ 
tion.  which  has  been  ordered  to  take 
part  in  the  numeuvres.  The  North  Car¬ 
olina  is  filled  with  a  catapulting  device 
by  means  of  which  hydroaeroplanes  can 
be  shot  out.  into  the  air  in  any  weather, 
no  matter  how  rough  the  sea.  The  North 
Carolina  will  be  fitted  also  with  a  h., - 
drogeri  generating  plant  and  carry  a  kite 
balloon  for  observation  and  fire  spotting. 
If  the  plan  works  out  successfully  every 
fighting  ship  in  the  navy  will  be  similar¬ 
ly  equipped.

Much  corn  and  beans  already  planted 
will  have  to  be  replanted.  A  great  deal 
is  not  planted  and  all  plowing  liol  done 
on  June  12.  The  Small  fruit  crop  is 
promising.  Strawberries  are  beginning 
to  come  into  market.  Canneries  are  pay¬ 
ing  around  $1.40  per  hu.  for  season  eon- 
troct.  The  outlook  for  apples  is  good  at 
present.  The  cold  wet  season  has  not 
been  entirely  favorable  to  pouches,  but 
with  good  weather  the  balance  of  season 
the  yield  should  be  fair.  Grapes  that 
were  almost  a  failure  last  season,  promise 
a  fair  yield.  Wheat.  $105  to  $1  per
