Next to the inserts, tli? animals that are chiefly harmful to man are the rodentst an order of mammals often regarded as wholly noxious. David K. Lantz of the Fnlted States geological survey finds that the ro dents of North and Central America Include about 1..'lf>0 species of 77 genera, and of these,. 7~>0 species of 44 genera Inhabit the United States and. Canada. Many of these, living in deserts, mountains and swamps, do not come in contuct with cultivated soil. They cannot, therefore, be classed as injurious, and many of them are preparing the soil for future use. and there are other rodents that are doing useful work In destroying grasshoppers and similar pests. Cer tain of the rodents, too, such as the beaver and inuskrat, have an eco nomic value as fur hearers. Native rodents Include among harmful kinds the short-tailed field mice, white-foot ed mice, cotton rats, kangaroo rats, pocket gophers, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, woodchueks and rabbits. The honsr mouse and three kind's of rats are. the only rodent pests in North America not native to the country. They are the must injurious, how ever. and pr.obahlv cause greater losses than all native kinds com bined. Kings cy Rome.

When the twenty armed officers J with Williams in their custody ap peared on the. steps of the courthouse, there came sellouts of "Let's-get hint !" Immediately what seemed to be a mul titude. pressed in on the officers. The deputies were powerless. News of tin* .seizing of the negro spread rapidly and 'throngs rushed to the seem* tln^ crime. It was more than thirty minutes after the arrival at the jmhuI before' Williams was chained and burned. It was when he saw that death was at hand that he made his confession. ? "The devils put I he crime into my head ami after I had committed it there was nothing for me to do but to kill the girl to keep her from telling." the negro is said to have stated In tell ing what prompted the deed. Williams was brought to Moultrie from Columbus for trial -early this morning. The trial began immediately.' After being out only a minute or tw?> the jury returned a verdict finding Williams guilty of t\>o capital crimes, one of which was murder.

AVashffigton, June 10.? Tin* senate this afternoon, without dissenting vote, passed an amendment to long ex isting federal statutes protecting the automobile and other vehicles of nn owner Q,ot Involving in violn tl< >11 of the prohibition law. In the southern states where prohi bition first gained its real foothold, laws l)ased on this federal code were enacted some years ago with the re suit that in various instances automo biles stolen by prospective violators, were confiscated following the capture of such violators. An appeal from (iooryia readied the supreme enurt l:i si vein*, hut was )i? >t sustained be cause of the existence of 1 1>< > federal code. # The amendment passed~by I In* sen ate this afternoon was offered by Sen* ator Dial of South Carolina. Because of the obvious Unfairness of the oper ation of tho federal statutes, Senator Dial feels certain that the house will follow tho example of the senate. The amendment would protect- also the business firm which sells an automo bile on partial payments ami retains right of ownership therein. Senator Ilia I detjl aires that his amendment does not' constitute the first inroad into the statutes which protest prohibition. lie explains that Wayne IV Wheeler, attorney of the Anti-Saloon League of America and main spokesman of| the league, for mally declared that he had no objec tion to tho amendment. "As a matter of fart," said Senator Dial tonight, "prohibition will ?become popularized in accordance with the abolishment of statutes,, the extreme rigidity and obvlotls inequalities of which uunecosKjjlrly oppress Inw abiding people. | Myrtle Hrown, of Mobile, Ala., was 'sentenced lo fifly days a few day? ago. for attempting to kidnap her husband from the <hnlngang.
