Mr.. ]. M. Bars, of Jacksonville,
has q novel scheme to rid that city OF
the mosquito. He believes that the
city can be entirely freed from this
pest. He wishes the state board OF
health to demonstrate by the expert
ment tried in the city of Jackson
vile at the city's expense the prac-
ticability of Kidding the entire city of
mosquitoes.
In referring to Mr.. Bars PROPOSE
ton DIR. Porter writes as follows:
II have not been able to make any
estimate of the amount of funds
which will be necessary to carry out
your suggestion of thorough eradi-
cation of mosquitoes from the city of
Jacksonville. and 1 doubt very much
whether all classes of mosquitoes can
be gotten rid of, from this fact: The
culex solictans and the culex tenio-
rhyncus are salt water mosquitoes,
and, according to Prof. Smith, of
New Jersey, have been known to fly
twenty miles inland. Now you will
see how extremely difficult it would
be to prevent this class from coming
to Jacksonville from any salt marshes
along the st. Johns river toward the
east, and therefore would not like
to promise to rid the city of Jackson
vile entirely of mosquitoes, lest, un-
der the conditions of which I speak,
failure would follow.
81 think it is possible-and I may
make it still stronger. that it can be
done Ito get rid of the disease-breed-
ing mosquitoes-thea nopheles, which
when infected, transmit malaria, as
likewise the stegomyia do for yellow
fever.
"It would be exceedingly difficult
to have the laity understand that, al
though these disease carriers are ex-
terminated, yet their money is not
in-spent if we should have the other
variety-the salt water mosquitoes
which would be equally as trouble
some and annoying. although not
disease carriers, as the anopheles and
stegomyia.
Before going into any detailed es-
innate, therefore, 1 thought it best
to submit to you the difficulty with
which an offer to get rid of mos
quitoes entirely in Jacksonville is go
ing to call forth, on account. as
have just mentioned, of the tendency
or the possibility of the salt water
mosquitoes, TIE culex solictans, be-
ing carried by the wind to a great
distance. DR.. Andrade tells me that
he has found large number of this
variety of mosquitoes (solictans and
taeniOrhyncus) in Jacksonville, par
ticularly in Riverside However,
am ,nore than grateful to you for TAX
ing up this subject and foryour inter-
est in it, which is worthy of emuia-
ton by other cities in the state, al
though not quite so populous as jack
sonville.

TRUE VERSION OF
READER AFFAIR

New York, March 22.-An officlai
version of the alleged negotiations be-
tween A. B. Reader and the Dominican
government was given yesterday by
Emilio G. Jubert, the San Dominican
charge de affairs at Washington who
is in this city. MI. Jubert said:
81 was in President Morales office
when Reader sent in his letter asking
for an interview and pretending to be
the agent of the United States. The
president had word sent to Reader that
he could not grant an interview unless
he was presented by Minister Dawson
and told him if he had any business,
to communicate it either through the
Dominican legation at Washington or
to the minister of foreign affairs. Later
Reader sent a bundle of papers to For
eign Minister Sanchez, which were re-
turned without notice being taken or
them. 1t is absurd to say there were
any negotiations with Reader"

TO SETTLE EQU|T-
ABLE TROUBLE

New York, March pa plan for
the gradual admission of the policy
holders of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society OF the United States to
share in the control of its affairs was
adopted by the directors yesterday.
The plan provides for an amendment
to the society charter so that % of its
50 directors shall at the expiration OF
four years have been elected by policy
holders. Under the new plan seven OF
tn Is directors annually elected will
be chosen by policy holders and six by
stockholders. The new method of con
troll will thereafter become effective
after four years.
The adoption Of this plan is the out
come of the agitation by President
Alexander and others for the mutual
cation of the society which began sew
eral weeks ago. President Alexander
pointed out that control OF the society
rested in the 100000 capital stock, the
majority of which was under the con-
troll of James FL. Hyde, vice president,
and that such power in the hands OF
one man was fraught with danger.

where he used every means in his
power, but at the end OF an hours
labor was obliged to abandon the work.
The two cases of death were Identical
in every particular. Life in both the
little bodies was entirely extinct before
they were taken from the water,
where they were found lying side by
side.
Deep Grief in Both Homes.
The deaths of these two children vie
with each other in their tragic import.
Frazier was the only son Of Mr.. ana
Mrs. MCGOWAN, there being but one
other child, a little twin sister, Cert

his irreconcilable death leaves a home
Frustrated with grief. The circum
stances attending the little Bondt
boys death are particularly unfortu
nate. He was the fourth son in fam
lily of seven little boys and manly
little fellow. The youngest Bondi boy
is such a recent arrival that the news
of her four-year-OId sons death comes
at a particularly inopportune time for
the mother. 1t was impossible to
withhold from her the dreadful news,
and she is struggling with grief and i'll
ness. Mr.. Bondi had no intdmatlon
that a catastrophe had visited his
home until he returned from his work
at the Fuller & Johnson works, where
he is foreman. The oldest son, Al
fred, who was away, did not reach
home until after o'clock, where the
shock of the sad news awaited him.
Traced by Their Footprints.
H. B. MCGOWAN, a brother of the
father of the MCGOWAN boy, said last
night:
'The little fellows were playing to-
gether near the house in the early part
of the afternoon. About 4:30 o'clock
Mrs. MCGOWAN became alarmed at the
absence of her son. She immediately
began to search, but found no trace OF
the two boys. Mr.. MCGOWAN, who is a
travelling man, happened to be in the
city today. When Mrs. MCGOWAN re-
turned from her fruitless search he
started out to look for the boys. Walk
ing along the lake shore he found the
children's footprints, which led him
out on the lake about one block from
the shore. Here was an open space in
the ice caused by crack. The water
is only three feet deep at this point. To
his horror he saw the body OF the Bondi
child. He pulled tine little fellow out.
There was an upheaval of ice. My
brother removed several feet of ice
and then pulled his little son out OIL
the water. The boys were dead when
they were found"
Coroner Lynch was summoned. He
deemed it unnecessary to call jury.
Among the many who called at the
MCGOWAN home to offer their sympa-
thies was Rev. George E. Hunt of the
Presbyterian church.

SECRET INVESTIGATION.

Trust Inquiry.

Careful Watch to Be Kept at Beer
Trust Inquiry.
Chicago, March zz.-Fifteen secret
service men have been brought to Chi
cago to guard witnesses who will ap
pear and testify before the special
grand jury which today will begin an
investigation Of the transactions of the
so-called beef trust" So great is the
desire of the federal officials to main
tain strict secrecy in the investigation
that every witness who testifies will
be closely guarded by one of the secret
service men to prevent his being ap-
preached by newspaper men or agents
of the packers. G. B. Morrison, who
was yesterday appointed district attor-
ney, declared last night that any per
son detected speaking to or inquiring
the name of any OF the witnesses will
be liable to contempt of court. Twen-
ty men have qualified as grand jurors
and this morning four more will re-
port. 1t is hoped by the federal Off
cials that at least two Of these men
will be able to qualify and complete
the list of jurymen.

MExIco's DAY PASSING.
Beloit Priest Says United States Will
Get Republic After Diaz's End.

Beloit, Wis, March 22.-Rev M. j.
Ward made a prophecy in a lecture
here before the Catholic Aid society
that Mexico would become the posses
sion Of the United States before many
years. He said that he believed there
would come revolution when Presl-
dent Diaz passed away, and that this
country would step in to stop the fight
and would take possession of the coun-
try.
He said that Diaz is the worst kind
of an emperor, because he allowed
only such laws as he wanted to pass
and even drew his pen through dis
tasteful decisions of the supreme
court. On the other hand, he was con-
tinually urging education, a commend
able attitude of ruler and something
that had never been done heretofore
in Mexico. 1t was this that made the
people satisfied with his regime.
Father Ward made these remarks
during description of his trip through
Mexico this winter.

President Jordan Believes Mrs. Stan

San Francisco, March 22.-President
Jordan of Stanford university yester-
day reiterated his previous statement
that he was firmly of the opinion that
Mrs. Stanford's death was due OF nat
ural causes and not to the effects Of
poison. He said that two or three
hours before she took the bicarbonate
of soda on the night of her death, Miss
Berner had taken a dose from the
same bottle and that no harm had re-
suited. This fact was not brought
out at the inquest, presumably because
Miss Berner had not been closely
questioned. Miss Berner absolutely
declined to discuss the case and the
maid, Miss Hunt, was equally reticent.
