FIGHT ALGAINST FOREST INSECTS.c What Experts Hope to Do-Aunounee ment by Government Agent E. B. Mason. Spartanburg, July 10.-The forest insect field station, which has been stablished in Spartanburg by the de partment of agriculture of the United 1 States, has already begun active work, and has laid plans whereby much ac tual good will be done for the trees and timber interests, not only in this immediate vicinity, but throughout Georgia and the Carolinas. T. W. Turner is special agent, and E. B. Mason is his assistant. Mr. Tur ner until recentiy has been located in I the State of Oregon, where he has been engaged in similar work for the department. Mr. Mason has been con nected with the service for some time. He graduated from Princeton univer sity and from the Forestry School at Yale, and has also studied extensively abroad. In an interview Mr. Mason said: "The pine tree beetle has increased greatly recently. The prevalence of' this insect as existing in this section was reported to the department of agriculture at Washington, which led to the establishment of this bureau in Spartanburg. Investigations that we have made at Reidsville, in Spartan burg county, and in other sections shows us that this beetle goes from four to five generations. In this sec tion it is in its first to second genera tion, and its damage to timber has made it a very serious matter. "The solution of the abolIshment of the pest lies entirely in the hands of the individual farmer and land owner, who, by co-operation among themsel ves and with us. We will show them how to control it. The lack of funds and the limited number of men avail-. - able for the government make it im possible to inspect every individual land owner's timber and give specific advice in each case, but the govern- I ment will, through this station, give the best scientific advice and teach the land owners to combat the pest them selves. "What we offer now," continued Mr.' Mason, "is to have the owners of tim ber interests to report their troubles to us, along with a description of the trouble -and the location of the dead or dying trees, in o'der that we may centralize th efforts in the m>st in fested dis:sicts, Mr. Mason said further: "The cut ting down of trees at this season of the year attracts the beetle and other trees, living and in the same vicinity soon become infected likewise. The spreading of the insect and the dam age to adjacent tmber is one ofsthe worst and greatest detriments con nected with the prevalence of the in sect. "When full information has been re ceived as to the extent of the visita tions of the beetle,. which will be in November of this year, we will issue a circular giving specific directions as Cto how to control the pest. We will be glad to speak in any district where there are sufficient timber interests to warfrant a visit. This is a mate3r ' concerns the entire South, 'and espe cially those districts where extensive timber interests exist, and is in under no circumstances a State matter. It is absolute.ly an interstate bureau, as are all that the United States govern - tent conducts. C. E. 5:nith, of R. F. D. No. 5, Green-; - villk, a well-known and prominent timberman, has received such instruc --tions from Dr. Hopkins, expert on in-J sects at the department of agriculture Lin Washington, as to be able to do demonstration work in regard to the *beetle, and has been appointed for this ~.purpose in Greenville and vicinity. Mr. S~mith was appointed in the depart -ment of agricultuye. PASSENGERS DASHED TO DE. TH. Twelve Eilled in Wreck of "Federal ~. xpress"-Forty-four Others Injured. Bridgeport, Conn., July 11.-TwelVe bodies in the morgue, forty-four suf ferers in the hospita]s and a moun-' tain of junk at the foot of a 20-foot embankment, at the western end ofI the city, tell the tale tonight of the worst wreck in fifty-eight years in the history of the New York, New Hay en and Hartford railroad. The coroner's office has been busy all day answering telephone and tele graph inquiries from all parts of the country. Four of the dead, two men and two women, remain unidentified. With one or two exceptions all those in the hospital tonight are expected to recover. Several, however, are in a critical condition. W. A. King, a young machinist, who recently came to Bridgeport from Kan sas City, and went to Philadelphia to meet Geo. H. Kirby, who was coming from Kansas City, is in one hospital. Although almost escaping without a scratch, the. accident drove him starb razy. In a lucid moment he said: I saw two legs sticking out from the vreck. The trousers were the same ts those Kirby wore. Kirby has not )een seen." When the "Federal Express," bound rom Washington to Boston, leaped the mbankment this morning at a cross )ver switch, a day coach, next to the aggage, was caught at the bottom of he heap and smashed. Not a peilson nside escaped death or serious in ury. The Pullman that crashed down af :er it, held together and the sleeping >assengers inside, although badly >haken for the most part, suffered 3othing worse than broken bones and ruises. The members of the St. Louis \ational League baseball team, who "ere on their way to Boston for a series of games beginning this after loon, were in the last Pullman and ?scaped injury, going on to Boston In . special train, which was made up at 6.30 o'clock.

The fact remains, however, that when the ex press darted cross the trestle where the switch is located, it was running nearly sixty miles an hour. When it struck the cross-over, the engine }eft the rails, dragging all but three of its cars with it. Mrs. Walcott is the wife of Charles D. Walcott, of Washington, a director of the Smithsonian institute. Investigation of the wreck will be begun, according to Coroner Wilson. YOU TAKE NO FINANCI.L RISK.
