FIGHTING THE MOTHS
THAT RAVAGE TREES
Means Sought to Combat the Gypsy
and Brown-Tailed Varieties.

DR.. L. O. Howard entomologist to the
Agricultural Department. has returned
from a trip TO Boston and vicinity.
where he went to examine the ravages Of
the gypsy and brown-tailed moths. DR..
Howard said yesterday that he found
the gypsy less prevalent than he ex-
pected and the brown-tailed moth more
abundant than he had been led TO be-
Heve.
Why the gypsy moth should be less
numerous is hard to explain. The de-
partment's entomologists have been try
ing for number of years to Introduce
parasite which would feed upon the
moth and keep 1t within bounds. but the
experiments have been unsuccessful be-
cause the parasites died before they
could be brought 10 this country from
southern Europe. where the gypsy and
brown tailed moths are Indigenous. and
where the parasites preying upon .hen
are 10 be found.
DR.. Howard is by no means discour-
aged over past failures and will continue
his efforts to introduce the parasites
until he has either achieved success or
clearly demonstrated that they cannot
be brought 10 this country In sufficient
numbers to serve a practical purpose.
The two varieties of moths have done
so much damage that they have demand-
cd serious attention on the part of the
Government experts. Their ravages arc
principally confined to fruit trees, but
when hard pressed they Will attack any
tree they find, even the coniferous or
pine trees
DR.. Howard said yesterday that the
moths have not become more OF a pest
in the past two OF three years because
the owners of trees are awakening to the
necessity for fighting the foe according
TO latest scientific methods.

AUTOPSY TO Be HELD
ON FRED MYERS BODY
Mystery Of His Sudden Death to Be
Cleared Up in This Way.

An autopsy will be performed today
on the body of Frederick W Myers, a
member of the Merchants Window
Cleaning Company, who was found dead
on a vacant lot at Fifteenth and c
Streets, yesterday. While the police
are confident that Myers death was
due to an attack of heart failure, the
post mortem examination is to be made
to clear away all mystery.
On leaving his boarding house last
night. Myers told some friends he in
tended making a few calls during the
evening. He did not return home all
night, however, and it is believed he
remained downtown until early this
morning.
From all indications he was stricken
while walking along the sidewalk, and
had evidently thrown himself down on
the ground to recover.
Myers was thirty-hve years old, and
had resided in Washington for several
years. He came here from Cincinnati,
and was instrumental in the organiza-
tion of the window cleaning concern.

STEAMFITTER HELPERS
MAINTAIN FIRM FRONT
Decide Not to Return to Work Until
Demands Are Granted.

Prospects of the local steam filters
helpers receiving the increase of wages
for which they asked Wednesday, are
growing brighter every day. For fear
that some of their men might get
"goosefleshy" and return to work with
out the increase from $1.60 to 81 per
diem, the officers of the Steam and Hot
water Filters Helpers Union held Il
meeting in BessIer's Hall, 922 Pennsyl-
vania Avenue northwest, Friday night.
and it was unanimously agreed that he
men should remain out until such time
as the masters saw fit to grant the de-
mand made upon them.
At the meeting it was announced that
two firms. which employ about twelve
or fourteen men each, had granted the
increase. and as n result about twenty
Eve helpers Will return to work Monday
at 81 day
About seventy or seventy-fiye helpers
are still out. They are employed by five
Or six companies, the officials of which
vow they will not grant the increase of
10 cents a day. The helpers believe
differently, however. They live ia
hopes that'alI Of the masters will agree
to the new scale of wages within the
next few days.
Since the rejection of an arbitration
proposition by the strikers on Wednes-
day there has been nothing said or done
toward bringing the two interested par
ties together to effect a settlement.

Warden Says 1t Would Pro-
mote Better Feeling.
IN THE INTEREST OF HEALTH
Advocates Building of Annex Two Sto-
ries in Height-0ne for Men
and Other for Women.

1t is probable that Congress at its
nexs-session will be asked to make an
appropriation for the purpose Of build
ing a largo dining room NJ The District
Jail. Warden James II. Harris has long
favored such an improvement. and it is
believed that such an enlargement OF
the building will be approved by Chief
Justice ClahHugh, of the District Su-
preme Court. and the associate justices,
who have control OF the Jail.
Within the past day or two Justice
Gould and Justice PritchaTd visited the
Jail and Captain Harris called attention
to the necessity for a large room IN
which the prisoners could be fed at
tables, instead OF. as now. in their cello.
In speaking of the matter, Warden
Harris said that dining room in which
tho prisoners can be fed at the same
time is greatly needed. Under the pres
ent system the prisoners arc fed in their
cells. Their meals are given them in
Ions, narrow. deep tin boxes. The male
and female prisoners are treated alike
In the manner in which their meals are
served TO them.
Plan of the Annex.
Warden Harris suggests that the an
mex be made to the jail building on the
southeast corner, in the angle made by
the south and cast wings Of the institu-
ton. The annex, he also suggests.
should be two stories in height so that
the lower floor might DO used as a
dining room for the male prisoners and
the upper story for the women. Two
entrances can conveniently DO made to
the proposed dining rooom, one from the
rotunda Of the Jail and another from
the kitchen, which Is on the first floor
of the east wing. The second floor OF
this wing is occupied by the women
prisoners
The outing in the dining room, twice
a day. Il is believed, will be very health
ful for the prisoners. Aside from this
they could then be allowed knives and
forks and spoons with which to cat their
food. Under the present system. aside

DISTRICT JAIL NEEDS
LARGE DINING ROOM

ingly dangerous TO place knives and
forks In the hands of the prisoners,
they would be practically useless. The
tin boxes IN which the food is now
served to the prisoners have oval bot
toms and for this reason would not be
good base for action with knife ana
fork.
1t is expected. however. that il the
dining room annex is made the prison
ers will be allowed the luxury of knives,
forks and spoons while at their meals.
Strict watch will have to be kept On
the prisoners, however. to prevent some
Of them from carrying a knife from the
dining room. to aid in making their
escape.
In this connection 1t may be said.
however, that the chances of q prisoner
escaping from the District Jail are very
slim. Deputy Warden Benton Russ, who
has been connected with the institution
since 1864, said yesterday that during all
these years only two prisoners have sue
ceeded in making their escape That
was about 1885. The prisoners who es =
capped were Joel Brown, a young white
man, and Lemuel Sewell, negro. They
wero afterward captured and served SEN
fences in the penitentiary.
Brown was convicted of robbing Mrs
Langtry while she was playing in Wash
ington. 1t was he who planned and
made the escape of SeWeI possible
Brown. it is said, sawed the bars from
the window OF his cell which was in
the south wing Of the Jail. He then,
with the assistance OF Sewel, removed
one of the iron bars from a window of
the south wall of the building, and they
then made good their escape.
Escapes Are Rare.
Since that time, particularly within
the last few years, many safeguards have
been thrown about the prison, so that it
now is practically impossible for a prls-
oner to make his escape unless he were
to overpower the guards both ct the
inner and outer doors. Such a thing.
however. is highly improbable.
At present there are only $50 prisoners
in the District Jail. OF these 81 are
white and 324 are negroes. OF the whites
80 are men and 2 women. There are
so negro women imprisoned in the Jail.
The number of inmates of the jail
will gradually increase from now until
about the first of next November This
Is so because there are NO jury trials in
either OF the criminal divisions OF the
Supreme Court Of the District in the
months Of July, August, and September.
In consequence persons who are COM
mitted to jail to await trial, II not able
to give bond, must remain in Jail until
the fall term. which begins in October.
At that time of the year the population
of the jail is greatest. often reaching
near 10 500.

In this case, as in most cases of
appendicitis, the trouble started with
inflammation of the bowels resulting
from the use of pastry, starch foods
that were undigested in the stomach
and went into the intestines in an un-
digested condition, fementing there
and starting disease. Too much white
bread will do this, Relief and perma-
nent cure came when the improper
food was left off and Grape Nuts, Tin
which the starches have been trans
formed into grape sugar by predigest-
ng proce-s), was used. Although all
of the rebuilding elements are there
in Grape Nuts the food is so pure that
the most delicate stomach relshes and
digests it.
