GYPSY MOTH DANGERS.
Ne1o York State Is Ready If 1t
InUades Her Territory.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of Sunday, March IS. sew
erai statements in connection with the alleged
planting OF the gypsy moth attributed to
the writer by your Boston correspondent. feel
that you Will give space in which to
make a brief correction No one knows abso-
lutely how the gypsy moth reached Providence,
R. l.. but strongly of the opinion that in
this the pest was maliciously planted
there. This opinion is based upon evidence
which is well nigh conclusive TO any one familiar
with the habits OF the moth
have no knowledge that the moth has ever
been planted elsewhere in Rhode Island that
"grafters . are engaged in carrying the
plague to other parts OF the East" Neither
have I any knowledge that experts find that
New York New Jersey and the Middle West are
invaded
As matter Of fact the gypsy moth occurs
throughout the entire eastern part of Massachu-
sets; there is a large colony at Providence and
Cranston. r. l. small colony at StOnington,
Conn. and numerous small colonies along the
New Hampshire coast as far north as Ports
mouth. The condition is serious. and. in view
of the gradual spreading Of the moth pest II
would seem that the time has come when na-
England States in holding the moth in check
Massachusetts has spent about S1,5OO.OOO IN
protecting herself from this insect and In so
doing she has protected New York and, we
might say, the rest Of the country. A bill is
now before Congress which If passed, Will IN
sure national aid In controlling the moth 1t
would be only an act of comfy for New York
tree lovers urge upon your representatives
and Senators the desirability OF the proposed
national legislation. If We can have sun1clent
help here can keep the pest In New Eng

bound to spread in time to your state.

John Manning, smelterman

Forks, b. c., startled policemen
this morning by rushing into the
station and eXclaiming: i've
lost my blankets.-there's nitro
glycerine rolled up in them. IL
they amt found before some one
opens them up there'll be a wreck
ed building somewhere and dead
people,"
Manning says that before COM
ing to town he boiled the nitro
slycerine out of some dynamite
sticks. He claims he uses the
elycerine in his work. He was
drinking last night and when he
awoke this morning couldn't find
where his blankets were and didn t
know where he had left them. He
says he thinks it was a saloon. His
information as TO here the eN-
plosive and blankets were left was
so meager the police could do
nothing.
