Clew to Miss "Wildey.o

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
Lorenzo d. Berry, a carpenter, In business
in this city and a resident Of West Med
ford. left here tonight for New York to
view the body of the young woman who
committed suicide In the Manhattan Hotel
yesterday.
The young woman registered under the
name of "A. w. Wildey. Washington. ID.
c. but Berry thinks the woman Is his
daughter Edith. The belief is based on the
newspaper description of the body and upon
other information which the family do not
care to make public.
AS soon as the family cached the belief
that the suicide was Edith Berry her broth
er, Elmer L. Berry. telegraphed to the New
York authorities to hold the body.
Miss Berry was twenty-one years OF age,
and was quite prominent in social and
church circles of West Medford. She was
stenographer. According to a statement
made by her brother. she was fond OF
travel, and week ago went to New York.
The members OF the family say they are AT
a loss to account for her death.

OYSTERINGINV VIRGINIA
THE LEGAL SEASON OPENED To-
DAY
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va. September 15.-An
is ready for the opening of the Vir-
gina oyster season, which now starts if
teen days later than formerly. Today every
tonger's craft, large and small was out on
the Chesapeake and its innumerable tribu-
tares scraping the natural rock" as the
public beds are known. for bivalves.
The last season In the oyster industry was
perhaps the most Improbable in its entire
history, and the oystermen hope that the
beds have been somewhat replenished this
season.
1t is scarcely believed that In the five
months that have elapsed since the closed
season began. however. that there has been
any appreciate increase in the shellfish.
and the outlook is for short supply and
high prices.
There Is also a most excellent prospect
that the depredations of the oyster pirates
will be ferreted out and punished this sea-
son as never before. for the state authori-
ties recognize the fact that unless the oys-
ter industry in Virginia is to die the nat
ural beds must be protected.
They have entered upon the task of pre-
serving the natural rock with a vim. as is
evidenced by their recent decision in favor
of the tongers against the private plant
ers who use steam dredges to scrape the
rocks. Commanding officers of the vessels
constituting the Virginia oyster navy also
have the most rigid orders this season to
enforce the "culling laws" under which
the baby oysters must be thrown back into
the water and given a chance to grow.
This is regarded as the most sensible
method Of preserving the industry. 1T
has really come down to this point" said
an old and experienced oyster packer to-
day. THE state must enforce the culling
law or sit by and see the great wealth of
the Chesapeake sacrificed to the greed of
few dredgers who have no regard for the
future.
Unless the culling law is enforced and
heavy penalties are imposed upon those
who violate 1t, the future of the oyster in
dustry in Virginia Is very easy to predict.
Instead of the oyster navy paying
much attention to the incursions of the
Maryland oystermen on the Potomac and
on the bay into Virginia waters. their guns
should be more frequently pointed in the
direction of the dredges from Virginia that
are helping to ruin the oyster more than
the few poor tongers from Maryland could
ever do"
The opening of the oyster season is al
ways event in this section. For weeks
the tongmen have been placing their craft
In shape for cruising and their crews are
all assembled now and the word Is 'Go!"

PORTO RICAN FINANCES.
Statement by the Treasurer, VIM. F.
Willoughby.

William F. ,Willoughby, treasurer OF
Porto Rico. in a bulletin made public TO the
census bureau, discusses the insular and
municipal finances of the island for the
fiscal year 19O2-O3. The report constitutes
a portion Of the general inquiry into wealth,
debt and taxation now being conducted by
the census bureau. 1t shows that at the
beginning of that fiscal year the insular
treasury was charged with 81, 35S 469. or
this amount 81 O43. S6S stood to the credit OF
various trust funds, leaving a balance OF
1914, GOO. constituting the real balance Of the
insular treasury availa BILE for the purpose
of meeting ordinary current expenses. Dur
ing the year there was paid into the treas
ury total of SO. 527. 400, of which s., 502, 6S1
was on account Of insular revenues proper
and S1,O24, 725 on account of trust funds.
The treasurer had at the end of the fiscal
year to account for a total of s., SS5,S75. or
which S2,S17, 2S1 was on account OF insular
revenues and 81. .594 on account of trust
funds. There was paid out during the year
a total of So, coo, S32 of which $2472. 271 was
for insular expenditures proper and s., IT,
SCI for expenditures from trust funds. That
left constituted the balance with which the
insular treasury began the new fiscal year
OF 10000.

WAR ON "LAZY WORM"
Good Effects of the Campaign in Porto
Rico.

That the people of Porto Rico have be-
astic in their desire and endeavor to rid
themselves of the scourge of anemia, popu-
larry designated the 'lazy worm affection.
is indicated in report just received by the
surgeon generals department of the army
from Capt. B. X. Ashford, who is spending
SIS, coo this year in a campaign against that
maIady.
During the months of June. July and Au-
gust nearly 10000 patients had been treat
ed, with cures in nearly every instance.
During the month of August at the medical
station in Aibonito exactly one-third of the
population was treated. This number was
. 4S2. of which but six died. 716 were dis
charged as fully cured, while the majority
of the remainder are on the road to recov-
cry. Nine medical stations have been es
tablished on the island, and while nearly
every town has petitioned for station, it
Is impossible to increase the number with
the present resources Physicians from all
parts of the island have been invited to the
stations where their expenses have been
paid while they were given special instruc-
ton in the method of treatment. Many
physicians have awaited themselves of this
opportunity, and In this way many cases
are being treated which are not contained
in the report. Capt. Ashford says that last
year the hard part Of the work was to con-
Vince the people Of the nature of the dis
ease and the sureness of the cure. This
year people travel for days to obtain the
treatment and supplies of the remedy.
The effect of the disease Is to render the
victim absolutely unfit for work. The dis
ease gradually wastes away the tissues,
during which time the afflicted becomes
public charge on the community. The ma
tives believed this wasting away was from
lack of food and ridfculed the idea that a
cure could be effected through the use of
medicines Besides administering a cure,
the medical corps under DR.. Ashford has
been conducting campaign Of education in
regard to sanitation. This Is later to be
followed with law on the subject, from
which great good is expected.

RESIGNS HIS POSITION.

His Time to the Campaign.


President Roosevelt has accepted the res
ignation Of ex-Judge L. L. Lewis as United
States attorney of the eastern district of
Virginia, with headquarters at Richmond.
Robert H Talley. assistant United States
attorney. has been appointed to fill the va
cancy. Mr.. Lewis Is the republican nomi-
nee for governor of Virginia.
I'VE tried to prevail upon Mr.. Lewis to
let the resignation remain Enacted upon I'M
til after the November election In Virginia."
said Solicitor General Hoyt. "as Mr.. Lewis
is one of the highest-class men In the coun-
try and an exceptionally fine United States
attorney. He insisted that his resignation
be passed upon by the department, and 1t
has been accepted without reservation, ieav-
ing Judge Lewis free to act as he desires
during the campaign"
1t Is stated at the department that moth
Ing has yet been done about appointing an
assistant to Mr. Talley. but 1t is probable
that Virginia republicans will urge Mr. Tai
ley not to make an appointment Of an as
sistant at this time, SO that In case Judge
Lewis is defeated for governor his friends
may have opportunity to again urge his
reappointment as United States attorney.
Just what will be done on this question Is
not known here and will depend upon Mr..
