r ? UNDERWOOD WILL LEAD DEMOCRATS Senator Hitchcock Withdraws From Race?Nebraskan Leaves Field To Alabama Senator Washington, April 24.?.Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, withdrew tonight from the race for Democratic leader of the senate thus virtually assuring the selection of Senator Underwood, of Alabama at the Dem-j ocratic conference called for Tuesday night. Senator I^itchcock's announcement was made in a letter to senate! Democrats. He said his withdrawal from the fight would conduce to dem-j ocratic harmony and would accord i with his individual plans which I " "i'''' rir?+ ririT-mit him rlnrinc thp re- ! V.V/U.V. WW - o -- . mainder of the year to undertake the j i work of minority leader which de-! volved upon him with the retirement' from the senate of the late Senator' 'Martin of Virginia. The withdrawal of the Nebraskan breaks the deadlock which developed j at tin party conference January 1." j when the first effort was made to select a successor to Senator Martin. "I hot." desire to terminate this) dcai'lock." wrote Senator Hitchcock, * "and hereby withdraw my na.r.e from I th. contest. This will cor^uce to' Democratic harmony and will accord w!rh my individual plans which will iioi permit me, during the eir.a!p..'o?-( of the year, to undertake such continuous service in the senate as 11 have had during the past 12 months, j "The year during which I have acted as Democratic leader has 'been one of responsibility and difficulty k??4- r\ -f nloocnrn qIca ltOPflllSP ft"f i IS 14 I VI it- Ui | the consideration shown by party leagues, whether they agreed withj me or not. "I desire particularly to thank tho.se who have supported me in this contest and to say to all that I shall be glad in resuming my position as vice charman, to cooperate as heretofore, with the chosen leader." Senator Hitchcock's friends explained that the presidential cam. naiirn Would take the senator away from Washington at frequent intervals and that aside from this he V ? would make frequent. visits to his former home in Massachusetts and consequently wd^ild not desire; to undertake the duties of leadership. The withdrawal of the Nebraska senator caused surprise in political circles here. He has been the administration leader throughout the long peace treaty fight and it was explicitly statect" at the White Hous and by Senator Underwood that irrespective of the outcome of the ele tion for leadership, he would continue as the administration spokesman should the treaty fight be re newed. f * v V "Where have they gonej?"

Field And Garden Bogs ~ Kotm from the Entomologiit _ On Insect Pelts. I F CRmum Colters, April II.?Th# bell weevil has spread over the great* r portion of ?outh Carolina. In mt> 4 eral of the coastal counties k is eater- ? bag Iti third year of lnfeetatlo*, la s' ease of a wet season severe damage | I may be expected in Beaufort, Jasper, > Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Coll* : ton and Charleston counties. Oon? ! siderable damage may also occur la , the other coastal sections. The fundamental procedure In boll j _ weevil control is intelligent dlversdfl. j est ion resulting in greatly Improved ! soil fertility, soil conditions. An ! early crop of cotton is very receraary | in weevil years. Minor operation! ' a.- ;.rofita/ble under favorable condS 1 1 tiuis, such as handpicking of fallen : L< squares and collecting of punctured j squares and bolls. These may bo advantageduSlV practiced where la- ; bor Is cheap and available, for ox* ample, on plantations operated by j families with a' "number of chlldrsn F< that can be employed. The latest deveJopmeLc in weevil control Is poisoning, but this method Is yet In the experfmental stapes. The work 90 far done has been on Miasir-sippi Delta plantations and the results secured are most promising. While It is not expected that thin mfthod will ever eradicate the pest, yet viewing the results so far securod ? together with tho history of weevil poisoning, tho prospects are very premising that this method is to develop into an important factor in boll weevil control. A great many details must yet be worked out experiment tally. There will yet be continued improvements in the dusting mechines and in the manufacture of calcium arsenate, which appears to C he one of the most difficult insecticides to manufacture. Furthermore, the various details that present themselves on the different plantations outside of the Mississippi Delta will he worked out so that a definite and ; -j logical system of poisoning- can he _. recommended. Under any conditions. ( poisoning in this state in 1920 ghould only be undertaken where weevfl damage is expected to be severe; ft should be undertaken on a small scale ?nly, and wVen once begun It should be repeated as often ae neces- _ pary to a thorough manner or the , results are likely to be unsatiefaotory. Experimental work will be eonduoted 1 !n the ceestal counties of this state where the weerll is e*peoted to be most injurious. A. number ot plantors will mo doubt conduct poisoning operations with machines and materials\ probably available.

They were dispached from San Diego today on orders from the navy department after a request for protection had ccme fi%m state department representatives at those two Mexican Pacific ports. A similar request came from the government agent at Frontmu on the. Gulf coast but was not acted upen pending further investigation of the! - I situation there. The cruiser Sacramento is at Tampico only a short distance away. The exact situation at Mazathin and Topoiobampo was not known here. T here has been no report of disturbances at either place and latest advices said a federal force of 350 men and two cannon had arrived at Mazatlan. ? ? ? - ? ? Sonora state iorces in reuemun against the Caranza government ar known to be pushing on toward Mazatlan, the most important Mexicai gate way on the Pacific. This fore is now well south of Topolobampo but whether a detachment had been deployed to make an assault there was not clear. At the navy department it was said that the cruiser Salem and destroyer No. 276, the ships ordered to Mexico, were under instructions to investigate the situation. There are | extensive American interests atj I Mazatlan where the Mexico-California Steamship company, has its I terminal. Word has been received a the offices of the company that both of the Mexican ports have been closed. The cruiser Sacremento was at; Frontora on April 10. and remriine:! a short time.
