TO ROUT MOSQUITOES
State Entomologist Wants the
Legislature to Furnish
the Means.

Especial to sThe Jersey City News.4l
TRENTON. Jan. is. 1902.-Professor John
smith. the State entomologist, viii ask
the present Legislature for a $4,000 APP
preparation with which to further irvestl-
gate the Jersey mosquito. The professor
says the State is coming into disrepute
on account of the prevalence Of these
objectionable insects and he desires to
make a thorough examination of the
cause and effect of their regular appear
ance. He says he will also look into the
question OF their determination.
According to the professor the coun-
ties most particularly affected are Union,
Ocean. Atlantic. Cape May and Mon
mouth Il know at least Of one factory
that had to be shut down in Elizabeth,
he declares, because the mosquitoes lll-
Tested that locality, and Think that pos
sipiy the greatest damage is done in the
lower end Of the State.
The problem of dealing with this med
dlesome little creature has long excited
the naturalists OF New JERSEY, and Pro-
fessor Smith seeks to discover some way
to drive them out of the State He says
that with the $4,000 he can carry ON the
work OF experiment and perhaps find ef-
fectual means Of dealing with the
nuisance.
No one has. yet been selected to father
the BILL but it is thought thar it will be
Introduced by either Senator Lee, of At
lantic. or Senator Thomas n. McCarter,
of Essex 1t is the opinion of Professor
Smith that its emanation from Essex
would assure the passage Of the measure,
and with this idea in view he Will first
offer the bill to Senator McCarter.

LABOR'S DEMANDS
Changes in the Wage and Hour
Schedule to Be Voted On.


The Hudson County District Council Of
Painters held an important meeting last
night at Council Hall. No Il Hoboken
avenue, to consider the wage and hour
schedule of the trade to be adopted for
the coming year.
After a general discussion it was de-
cided to refer the matter to the six locals
of the county, to be voted on at their
next meeting, and the result to be pres
ented to a special committee a Council
Han, on Wednesday evening, January %,
when the propositions adopted by a ma
jority vote will be laid before the United
Building Trades Council for ratihcation.
The propositions on which the members
of the different locals will vote are as
follows:
a Shall wages remain as at present?
~ Shall wages be IS a day?
(s) Shall eight hours constitute a days
work every day il the week?
a. Shall eight hours constitute a days
work I'VE days in the week and seven
hours on Saturday?
90 Shall eight. hours constitute a days
work five days in the week and four
hours on Saturday, quitting at noon?
The general Relief is that the second
and fifth propositions viii be adopted.
This would mean an increase of twenty
five cents a day over the present wage
schedule. which is s2.75 but as he men
would only be pair sl.se for the half day
Saturday, it would leave the weekly wage
rate $1e.50 as it is now. So practical y
all that is asked oyer the present sched-i
ule is the weekly half holiday.
The Council also decided to appoint
stewards for each local to whom the
shop stewards viii report weekly trade
conditions in their respective jurisdictions.
The advisability of holding social ses-
sions ana open meetings in different parts
OF tae county more frequently was also
considered. Five OF the six locals OF the
county meet on Monday and one on Sat-
urday evening leaving little opportunity
for the members of one body TO visit an
other. 1t was argued that the social
session and open meeting plan would be
the means Of the members becoming bet
ter acquainted with each other 1t vii,
probably be adopted.

POLICE IN PERIL
Excavations Next Door
Weaken the Walls Of the
Communipaw Station.

The police of the Conmunipaw Avenue
Station House are badly frightened over
the poor condition of the eastern wall or
the big brick building Excavations are
being made for a structure next door and
workmen in digging have dislodged nllT
merous stones from the wall of the sta
tion house. The excavations have great
~ weakened the structure and the Police
Board was compelled to let out contract
for $3.50 for the stoning up Of the wall.
The police have in mind the demolition
of the big four-story brick house at
Jackson avenue and Forrest street which
was ruined by the undermining Of the
wall The police this morning thought
that it was extremely dangerous to allow
the wall to remain so long without being
propped up and word was sent TO the con-
tractor to come at once TO stone up the
wall It will be necessary to dig beneath
the present wall and build a much strong
er foundation The removal Of the dirt
from the site adjoining the station house
revealed the fact that dozens OF stones
had fallen away from the mortar and
We're detached from the wall This nee
essarily weakened the wall and made it
imperative that the building should be
Immediately propped up
Captain MeKaig said last night that no
time should be lost in having the walls
secured, Those stones look dangerous,
said he and I would not remain here
another day if the walls are not secured. -
The Smooth On Paint Company is to
erect q three story brick building adjein-
ing the station house. Machinery is to be
placed in the basement and for that rea7
son the cellar was dug very deep. a
small frame house on the opposite side.
Of the site has also to be propped up to
save it from collapsing.

REED IN THE LEAD
His Position in the Senate
Gives Him an Advan
tage in the Treasurer
ship Fight.

Special TO 1.-THE Jersey City News
TRENTON, Jan. IS. 1902.--The contest
for State Treasurer has now narrowed
down to TWO men, Frank O. Briggs the
ex-Mayor OF Trenton, whom Governor
Voorhees, appointed ad interim to put a
spoke into the wheel of Barker Gummere
and the Mercer ring. ana Senator Charles
IA. Reed of Somerset. Ex-senator Will
Jams OF Passalc has announced his with
drawal from the race because his cam
didacy might in some way injure the
chances of General Grigss for Senator
An effort was made to puli him
on last Monday night. and it is evident
that subsequent work on that line has
been more successful +: a, Coe, Of Ber-
date.
Intii the coming Of Senator Reed into
the race. Treasurer Briggs was regarded
as almost certain of election al the hands
of the Legislature. despite the fact that
Senator Hutchinson of his own county
was opposing him.
But now it is different and the outlook
rs that Reed win capture the prize. He
has the advantage Of being right on the
ground floor and is in a position to repay
the legislators for their votes by favors
in the matter of law making.
Senator Reed is very popular with a
majority of his Republican colleagues.
He IS practically the leader Of the com
bination that controls the Senate and
viii undoubtedly get majority Of the
votes in that body.
He is looked upon as the brains Of the
combine and earned new 1aurels by man-
ipulating the dead to land Senator Fran
els in the Presidents chair.
The present Senate is said by old-timers
to contain fewer able men than any in
the history Of the state. With one or
two exceptions the Senators are of a very
mediocre type and the TACT that man
like Reed is able to control the body is
looked upon with some misgivings by the
more conservative Republicans
Whether or not Reed will be able to get
sufficient votes in the house of Assem-
bly, to make up the necessary majority
on joint ballot remains to be seen. It IS
regarded as probable that he will.
Treasurer Briggs viii have the moral
support at least of Governor Voorhees,
and Governor Murphy and were it not
for the fact that Reed is in the Senate,
would be sure winner.
