COMPERE SAYS CODLIN MOTHWILL SOON MEET DEATH.

Foe of California Apple Is DoomedDissatisfied Daughteis of

J. Alexander Yoell AreIndignant at Attorney

EXPERT GIVES OPINION

Dr.J. W. Robertson DeclaresThat the Aged PioneerWas Not of Sound Mind

The case willbe resumed at 10:30o'clock this morning.

In the cross-examination Delmasclosely questioned the expert as to themeaning of an insane delusion. "Takethe case of a man who, after thirtyyears of married life, is driven out ofhis home. Ifhe should upbraid anold friend and then apologize to himen the next day, would that be evi-dence of his insanity?"

"No," replied the expert.

Dr. J. W. Robertson of the Liver-more Sanitarium testified that he be-lieved Toell to have been insane andclassified his insanity as the dementiaof old age. He said that people af-flicted in this manner were able totransact business not connected withsubjects regarding which they haveinsane delusions. "Ail insane peopleare not in asylums," added Dr. Rob-ertson.

"That will do," said Delmas, witha smile. The smile and a tittering inthe courtroom evidently nettled Mrs.Dunn and her sisters, for the threewomen instantly surrounded the at-torney and reproached him volubly inspite of continued cries for order.

The scene was caused by Mrs.Dunn's inability to comprehend aquestion propounded to her by Del-mas. She testified that she was forcedto sell a house given to her by herfather in order to pay bills for medi-cal service. The question was ex-plained by Delmas, by Attorney Hoefiler and by the court, but the witnesscould not comprehend.

Rix remonstrated with his angryclients, while the clerk rapped for or-der. With some difficulty the sisterswere persuaded to cease and Delmasleft the courtroom, followed by theirindignant glances.

Assailed on all sides by reproachfulwords and indignant language, Delmasappeared helpless. "May Iask. Mr.Rix," he appealed to one of the at-torneys for the contestants, "to be re-lieved from this annoyance."

The angry women were Mrs. EmilyDunn, Mrs. Theobald and Miss Ger-trude Yoelh the dissatisfied daughtersof J. Alexander Yoell, whose will isbeing contested.

The urbanity of Attorney D. M.Delmas received a severe test in JudgeKerrigan's court yesterday. The mo-ment the hearing of the Toell caa«was adjourned Belmas was surround-ed by indignant women, who over-whelmed him with reproaches.

SAILOR'S LIFEIS CONSIDERED ENTOMOLOGIST WHO BROUGHT

Christian Endeavorers Telloi Work Being Done inBehalf of Boys Afloat

The name of the codlin moth para-site is Kphialtes Carbonarius. Evenwith this name it is by all odds theliveliest fly ever ?een in California.

"Its doom in California is sealed.What other States and other countrieswill do remains to be seen.'

perforated bark, shield from view andgiv# the codlin moth worm chance toppin cocoons. At each onslaught ofthe parasite a codlin moth died andthe eggs of the parasite were de-posited.

"The work has actually begun in theorchards," said Compere, "as alreadyreported in The Call. "Never againwill California be without the codlinmoth parasites. The breeding will bevery rapid. To stop the work of theparasite would no more be possiblenow than it would be to sweep backthe broad Pacific with a broom. Theparasite has come to stay and willmultiply to millions. Of all predatoryinsects that destroy fruit, the mostgenerally distributed is the codlinmoth. It is in Europe, all over" theUnited States and in Australia.

To the Honorable Board of Supervisors otthe City and County of San Francisco

—Gentle-

men : At a convention of the Golden GateUnion of Christian Endeavor on February 2,IS*XJ, a resolution was passed indorsing; thepetition of tbe Ladles' Seamen's Friends So-ciety for the lease of the Sailors' Home fora term ot years and requesting that yourhonorable body grant said lease to the saidsociety.

The Ladies' Seamen's Friends Societywas discussed by Mrs. A. Bradley andthe meeting resolved to send the fol-lowing to the Supervisors:

As a result of an address by MissJennie Partridge it was resolved thatGolden Gate Christian Endeavor Unionmemoralize the Secretary of the Navythat chaplains be appointed to all war-ships having a sufficient number ofmen to warrant such action.

The afternoon addresses were but aprelude to the stirring and eloquentmessage from Dr. George W. White,who told of "The Church on the HighSeas," advocating that as there arefloating palaces and floating hotels andfloating homes of the sailor, so thereshould, in his opinion, be floatingchurches. He believed the opportunityshould be -given for religious serviceon all vessels afloat.

W. F. Ellis, vice president, presidedover the afternon meeting and J. W.Hatch, president, occupied the chair atth** great rally in the evening. "TheFloating Work" was one of the firstmatters taken up and had among itssupporters F. W. Dorn, who spoke on"The Work Among Men in the Navy."Christian Endeavor societies, he show-ed, were in high favor and growing inthe United States navy.

The seafaring life was a theme ofespecial interest at the eighteenth an-nual convention of the Golden GateChristian Endeavor Union, held atthe Central Methodist EpiscopalChurch yesterday. The opening hymnsand the addresses dealt peculiarly withthe seaman's case. Brawny, stalwartyoung Americans from warship andtraining ship, leaders of the ChristianEndeavor movement on their respec-tive vessels, were present in an assem-blage that crowded the great roomsof the church.

George Compere, just from Europe,the discoverer of the parasite that killsthe dreaded codlln moth, declared yes-terday, while inspecting the work ofthe parasite at the rooms of the StateBoard of Horticulture, that in threeyears, and probably less, the codllnmoth will have been practically de-stroyed in California. Nature preventsthe extermination of a type. The cod-lin moth will still remain, but only Innumbers sufficient to feed and keep !alive its active and deadly enemy.

The ravages of the codlin moth In jthe United States, according to the De-partment of Agriculture, cost the ap- jpie growers $11, 000,000 annually. The ;

loss on the apple crop of California 1from ihis cause is fully 50 per cent of

'

the whole each year. Consequently thestrong affirmation of Compere on this '

subject has great interest.Compere has circled the world in his I

search of beneficial parasites half a idozen times or more. Bronzed by the |sun of ardent climates and by the !winds of the seas until he is asdark as an Indian. Compere appearedyesterday to be the typical liver of anout-of-door existence.

"The parasite of the codlin moth,"he said, "Idiscovered in Spain. Italso exists in France. In these twocountries it successfully controls thecodlin moth so that the percentage ofloss to the apple growlers by reason ofits depredations is very small. In ev-ery orchard in Spain and France wherethe codlin moth exists the parasite Isgiving continual proof of its efficiencyas a destroyer. Nature uses its ownmethods to destroy. By the way, itis an interesting fact that there is no

''instance on record where an Insect pest ,has been permanently and successfullychecked by any artificial method.

"How do Iknow that the parasitewill be as efficient here as it is in Eu-rope? That is easy. L,ook at this jar.Here 5s the codlin moth worm: hereis the parasite stabbing him to death.In the last minute at least five of theworms have been killed by the para- |fcites while Ihave been watching. Theclimatic conditions of California soclosely resemble those of Spain andFrance as to be almost identical. Un-doubtedly the parasites will thrive in jany temperature where apples ripen."

Then Mr. Compere talked about thedemonstration of the utilityof the ben-eficial ineects in exterminating insect !jifcsts already afforded bj- experimentsin California. Parasites imported havebrought under control the cottonycushion scale that once threatened todestroy all the citrus tree fruit south

•of Tehachapi; the soft brown scale, an-ether enemy of the citrus fruits; theyellow scale, also a citrus fruit enemy:the so-called San Jose scale, that at-

*tacked deciduous fruits; the black !scale, the brown apricot scale and thePlusia Brassica, or cabbage moth. Onhis present trip Mr. Compere alsobrought with him from abroad thePleril Rapae, which destroys the cab- ibage worm.

While Compere talked the codlin imoth parasite In multitudes displayedits uncommon agility and rapacity ina score or so of glass jars that stoodin the rooms. With lightning-likespeed the parasite plunged its rapier Iagain and again through the bark of jthe prepared tree limbs, which, with

Doctor Prodnees Witnesses Who HeardPriest Say That He Had Given

Away Fortune.There was more evidence in Judge

Sloss' court yesterday in favor of thecontention of Dr. James F. Brennanthat the 532,000 which Father JP. J.Grey now seeks to recover was givento him by the aged priest while it wasyet in litigation. Most important wasthe original assessment by which Greytransferred to Brennan all the moneyto his credit in the Hibernia Savingsand Loan Society, including a Judg-ment for $20,386 39. The assignmentwas dated September 18, 1899, and wasacknowledged before Notary R. W.Putnam, who testified to the authen-ticity of Grey's signature.

Dr. William Norris testified he hadheard Father Grey say that he hadgiven all of his property to Dr. Bren-nan. Like testimony was given byMrs. Catherine E. Houlehan.
