"Tries to Explain Weakness;Ingratiate Himself With

Certain Elements."CHICAGO. June 16 (by the Asso¬

ciated Press)..Maj. Gen. Wood, in asigned statement last night, charac-terized as a "vicious and maliciousfalsehood" a declaration by NicholasMurray Butler, that a "motley groupof stock gamblers, oil and mining pro¬moters, munitions makers and otherlike persons" backed the generalscampaign for the republican presi¬dential nominationGen. Wood said that he regretted to

make the statement but that it wasnecessary to "brand a fakir and to;denounce a lie." Declaring that themen who managed his campaign were)of "extraordinary high character," thegeneral said that the attack uponthem "is infamous" and that Mr. But¬ler's action was "an attempt to in¬gratiate himself with certain ele¬ments which exercised a determininginfluence at the convention.'*

Gen. Wood'* Statement.The statement follows:MI have Just read the statement Is¬

sued in New York by Nicholas MurrayButler to the effect that a motleygroup of stock gamblers and otherstried to buy the presidential nomina¬tion for me, and that the forces whowere defeated in their Insolent at¬tempt to buy the nomination repre¬sent all that Is worst in Americanbusiness and political life,"The statement is a vicious and

malicious falsehood. I would ignore itif it were directed at me alone, but Icannot remain silent when my loyalfriends and supporters are vlllifled.Col. William Cooper 1'rocter, who

was chairman of my campaign com¬

mittee, Is a man of extraordinary highcharacter, known throughout thelength and breadth of the land for hisabsolute Integrity and honesty. Hisassociates were men of like character,most of whom responded to theircountry's call during the war. Theytypify a group of progressive Amer¬icans. The attack upon them Is In¬famous.

"Nation-Wide Poll.""The forces -which brought tne be¬

fore the convention with preponder¬ant force were hundreds of thousandsof patriotic men and women In everywalk of life who h«-*e Indorsed me atnation-wide state conventions, nation¬wide state primaries, and In a nation¬wide poll of unprecedented size."This action of Nicholas Murray

Butler is an attempt to ingratiatehimself with certain elements whichexercised a determining Influence at

the convention and possibly to explainhis own political weakness. It is a

self-seeking cowardly attack, madeunder th,e cloak ot an allegedservice which was never intended or

rendered. -

"I regret to make a statement or

this kind, but it is necessary in tkisinstance to brand a fakir and to de-nounce a lie."

POTATO BUGS, BEETLES AND LICEPLAYING HAVOC WITH GARDENS

Havoc Is being- played with the gar-dens of Washlngtonians who are en¬

deavoring to combat the high cost ofliving by raising some vegetables intheir back or side yards, by potatobugs, flea beetles, plant lice andstriped cucumber beetles.William C. Hall, agricultural agent

for the District, stated today that thelocal gardeners must be on theirguard to prevent complete loss oftheir crops by these insects. He saysthe old-fashioned Colorado potatobeetles or hard shells, as they are

known, came out of the ground twoor three weeks afto and laid theireggs on the young potato plants.These eggs are now hatched and theslugs or soft-shell bugs that theyproduced are working upon the pota¬to plants. He said that unless promptaction is taken they will completelydestroy the foliage and the tenderstems of the potatoes as they haveenormous appetites and a colony ofthem will do great damage in a shorttime.Mr. Hall says there are two ways

of getting rid of the soft-shell potatobeetles. Where there are not too

many, the simplest way is to take an

old flat pan, place a little water inthe bottom of It a thin skim ofkerosene on top of the water, thenro along the rows of potatoes andknock the bugs from the plants intothe pan.Another method is to dust the plants

with air-slacked lime or land plaster,to which there has been added Parisgreen or arsenate of lead, at the rateof a heaping teaspoonful to a pint ofthe lime or plaster; The easiest

Wisconsin Senator Believe* ThatMan of Liberal Wing Should

Have Been Selected.SUPERIOR, Wis* Juno 16 (by the

Associated Press)..While expressingregret at the nomination of SenatorHarding by the republican conven¬

tion, Senator I. L» Lenroot of WTscon-sin, in a statement here today, declaredthat "in this situation there can bebut one choice, It seems to me, andthat Is to heartily support the re¬

publican ticket.""I frankly regret the choice of the

republican convention, as I believe a

man who had been allied with the lib¬eral wing of the party should havebeen selected," Senator Lenroot said."However, Senator Harding Is a

most lovable man of the McKinleytype, and makes friends easily,"There Is dissatisfaction upon the

part of progressives, but they mustchoose between supporting the repub¬lican ticket and having another fouryears of democratic rule and all thatIt Implies. In this situation therecan be but one choice. It seems to me,and that is to heartily support therepublican ticket."

method of applying the poison mixtureisito place it in a cheesecloth or thinburlap bag and dust the plants byshaking the bag directly over them.The poison will adhere best if appliedduring the early morning or late even¬ing. while the dew is upon the plants.Plant lice, he said, will soon maketheir appearance in the local gardensand will be found on the under side ofthe leaves sucking the juices of thetender leaves. Owing to the fact thatthese Insects do not eat the surface,he said, it is almost impossible topoison them except by what aretermed "contact poisons." Sprayingthe under side of the leaves with aweak solution of nicotine sulphate orsome form of tobacco extract, usingabout a teaspoonl'ul in a gallon ofwater, in which there are previouslydissolved a one-Inch cube of laundrysoap, tie directs that some form ofsprayer or atomizer be used to applythe liquid.

Prevention In IIe*t Way."Don't let the Insects get a start,"

is the advice of Mr. Hall.The striped cucumber beetle has al¬

ready started to work, he said, onyoung, tender plants of cucumbers,melons anil squashes. Covering theplants with mosquito netting or withordinary wire fly screens is onemethod of protecting the youngplants. The edges should be weigheddown firmly around the ground. An¬other method is to dust the plantswith air slacked-llme or land plaster,to which has been applied a teaspoon-ful of kerosene or turpentine to thequart of lime or plaster.
