OAKLAND, July 26.— -For 34 .years
Mrs. Rosa Homeier of % Alameda has en
dured beatings and insults from her
husband, Louis Homeier, leader of the
orchestra of the Central theater In San
Francisco, according to the complaint
in the suit for divorce which ehe has
filed. She explains her. long submission
to the cruelties by stating that she had
hoped that he would some day mend
his ways. Recent developments, how
ever, forced her to take action.
Mrs. Homeier states that soon after
their marriage her husband began to
associate with other women. It is spe
cifically charged that the well known
musician has recently been spending a
great part of his time with a woman
named Kate Briones. The complaint
charges that Homeier has often kicked
and neglected his wife and shown slight
consideration for his children. <•
H. C. Coward has withdrawn the suit
for divorce which he recently filed on
the ground of cruelty and a stfit has
been begun against him by his wife,
who charges desertion. . X
Coward is manager of the California
salt works. In his complaint he charged
that his wife threw stewed tomatoes
over him and threatened him with, a
flatiron. He said that she once started
to chop down a door with an ax *to
get at him when he locked himself
in a room. " t . ;-

Score Work of State Board
In War on White Fly Pest
Woodworth Says
} Marysville Plan !
Is a Failure ;
i BERKELEY. July 26.— A bombshell
was thrown into the camp. of the state
horticultural commission today.by* Pr
ofessor C.' J W. "Woodworth, expert ed
tomologist of the state- university,
when the scientist's latest bulletin on
the white fly pest as It exists In Marys
ville was issued from the university
press. Woodworth says that the'com
mission's campaign Is an utter failure,
useful only because It shows what nqt
to do in future work.
Professor Woodworth returned two
days ago with Professor T. W. Clarke
from Marysville, . where a - week ;was
spent in an^ Investigation , of conditions
there. The" white fly appeared in the
orange groves of Marysville last spring
and since that time the horticultural
commission has conducted a campaign
to rid the state of the dreaded pest.
Last week the commission's representa
tives sent broadcast the news that the
campaign was ended, that It was suc
cessful and that \u25a0 the ' vicious pest ' had
been wiped out. •-\u25a0/..;.\u25a0
This announcement followed a state
ment from Commissioner S. A. Peaqe
to the effect that the university's en
tomological savants nad sought to in
trude upon the white fly campaign and
to take credit for work which the com
mission was doing at Marysville. Peas^e
at the time charged Professor Wood
worth with plagiarism in Woodworth's
first white fly bulletin, printed a month
ago, alleging that the university, man
had used Professor Gossard's writings
without giving credit.
. SAYS WORK IS FAILURE |
Comes now Professor Woodworth on
the heels of the horticultural : commis
sion's notice that the white fly is dead
at Marysville and that the eradication
work was | eminently successful, and In
a 3,000 word bulletin, profusely illus
trated with maps and diagrams, calmly
declares "that the commission's efforts
have been "strenuous out misdirected.;
that "we should begin-all . the work
anew, avoiding the "mistakes of the
past, campaign"; thatWthe'. failure of
the past campaign need not dishearten
us_in_any particular," and finally wind-
Tng""up' the assault upon Commissioner
Pease's breastworks with the follow
ing 32 inch shell:
..' «The management of < the pant cam
paign baa been fundamentally bad and
It \u25a0 hlntnry chiefly useful In pointing:
out lioiv not to do the /work." *'
i^The^fDllqwJng^ls av_specimen^of Pro
fessor- .Woodworth's comment
upon the work of the horticultural
commission at Marysville:
"Those' In charjre ;of , tbe work are
\u25a0itlll' \u25a0 trj-tns jto \u25a0' force : farther defolla
tloa,., .I'ndcr the, circumstance* ' It in
hard to see bovr. any good ipnrpose could
bt' BCJfT^d; , by farther 'action '.at this
time, j * Tbie^ opportunityj* for i effective
vrorlc along: these lines Is past; now w*
are -face to face with new conditions."
Professor " Woodworth's explanation
of -. the , ; commission's . alleged -' failure is
that" many : trees were "allowed to re
main in foliage long after the neigh
boring trees 'were -defoliated^ so - that as
the new leaves came out the white flies
were right at hand, ready, to begin
business again. The labor employed in
the work of defoliation was hot skilled
labor, , according to Professor Wood
% so > that^"a man with' a saw SLzid
'ai' i whltewash , tbriish, \lf 'he : made a. pfe
tense, of knowing about trees could
command from \u25a0%!. to" : $10 a day."
BLAME FOR BLUMJERS
*' This lunskllled. labor J-accounts'^. for
somp., .of .the .blunders j.'. committed, in
the: pr6f€SSor's-opInlon.. : ; -These blun
ders : Included the ; dumping vof brush'
from' defoliated trees at such time and
under such conditioner as "\u25a0 to give the
white fly ample time to develop before
defoliation.- - -
'. The" seriousness of the white fly pest
is illustrated by Professor Woodworth's
statement 1 that i the entire orange : in
dustry of ; the " state, which : produces - a
crop- worth annually "514,000,000, 'is
threatened l by the white fly pest, which
has worked havoc In; Florida "orchards,
though never before - known -here. * \u25a0
It- is -because of the importance of
the' matter that Professor Woodworth
>.nd Professor Clarke,' both experts'and
students ; in . other years of the white
fly, pest, ln Florida awd elsewhere, : have
'devoted much time' and labor/to' in
vestigating the situation at 'Marysville.
Their hope is that the pest can be i kept
away from other' orange districts in the
state/-* --• \u25a0'\u25a0•; - - r --. \u25a0-..- •. --. .\u25a0\u25a0.•,. \u25a0.;,
In his bulletin Professor 'Woodworth
not alone condemns the - horticultural,
commission's manner -.; . of > work;., at
Marysville, but . recommends ia' proper
sort- of - campaign. He writes in : part
as; follows: \ 1 L - . \u25a0;\u25a0„\u25a0

The fig is extremely abundant in Marysville

MISS ETHEL CRKWE, ACTRESS. '''WHO HAS
SUED OAKLAND MAXAGERFOR $678.05.
OAKLAND, July 26.— The sudden ter
mination of the engagement of Miss
Ethel Crewe, known in .theatrical cir
cles as Ann; Crewe, with Ye 'Liberty
stock company developed a lively se-,
quel today when' she commenced suit
against H. .W.^Bishop, the manager of
the playhouse, for $609 as salary which
she claims: Is due her and $79.05 . as
faro;' to ; New..- York,' city. Miss Crewe
said - that her engagement was begun
on Juno 3 and was to last 30 weeks,
but^that the theater representatives
declared that it was to open on ' July 1.
The compensation .agreed . upon;. for
Miss Crewe's services as leading lady
was $150 a*week. 'There was a.provi
sion . in ' the contract allowing either
party. to end the engagement upon two
weeks' notice - and Manager Bishop
availed himself of this clause at the be
ginning .of the third week of , her en
gagement here. . \u0084 ".
"I am not questioning Mr. Bishop's
right to choose his people," said Miss
Crewe today, 1 . "or ' even to let \ his per
sonal feelings sway his artistic Judg
ment in such, cases; I.am only asking
what I think is rightly mine. I. came
here on May 24, thinking, that I would

provides. Instead I " found that : Nance
