HOUSE FLIES SCARCE,
THIS YEAR, HE SAYS
Pests Killed by Millions as Result Of
Mild Winter and Late Spring, De-
crales Scientist.
Special Cable to The Journal.

Special Cable to The Journal
London, May 19.-Common house
flies this year will be unusually scarce.
This is the opinion of the we1i-known
writer on natural history subjects, Rev.
Theodore Wood.
The scarcity not only of flies, but of
all insects, will be the natural conse-
quence of the mild winter. Insects do
not mind cold weather, they simply
sleep thru it, and after hard winter
insect life is nearly always abundant,
as the insectivorious birds have been
prevented from getting at their vic
tins.
In mild winter like the last, how
ever, insects perish. by millions, from
mildeW as well as the beaks of birds,
while a late spring, such as we are ex-
speriencing, retards the developments
of these that survive, which will be
several weeks behind their proper time.

Rhoylite, New, May 19.-Drunk and
desperately angry, Stephen Q 'Brien1,
former president of the Tonopah
miners union, today murdered his
wife, Mrs. Ellen O'Brien, a trained
nurse. He was shot and killed by
Deputy Sheriff J. R. Mcdonald.
O'Brien, who had for some months
been separated from his wife, who had
brought suit for divorce, commanded
her to have the proceedings dismissed
and return to him. This she refused
to do, thereupon he shot her twice,
in the face and breast. She ran out
OF the house and across the street to
drug store and died there a few min
utes later. - 49, 81. .
The shooting attracted a number of
people who were preparing to lynch the
murderer O'Brien came out to the
hotel with revolver in one hand and
a miners candlestick in the other.
Sheriff Mcdonald and Justice Of the
Peace John Donnelly rushed to the
scene and the former grabbed the muir,
der, who pulled away. Donnelly jumped
between the two and O'Brien stabbed
him with the sharp end of the candle
stick, but only broke the skin. Nc
Donald then shot O'Brien dead, the
bullet penetrating the heart.
A coroner's Jury, which was sum
moned immediately, acquitted the dep
uty sheriff.

SLEEP FOR 4
. BILL STOPPING LEAKS
House Tables Measure Providing
Imprisonment for Giving
Tips" to Traders.
BY Publishers, Press

ny fuDllshers Fress,
Washington, May 19.-The house arose
today in its wrath and put to eternal
sleep measure which it had previously
passed, making it a penitentiary offense
FOR an official or employee of the gov
eminent, including senators and con-
gressmen, to make public any secret in
formation which would have an effect
upon the market values of any Amer
lean products.
The bill originally passed the house
some weeks ago without discussion and
was legislation believed to remedy the
lack of law as exposed by the recent
cotton scandal in the department of
agriculture. The measure was amended
by the senate and the report of the
conferees On the proposition was what
brought the matter to the attention of
the house today.
After spirited debate, in which the
measure was attacked as being vicious
legislation by Messrs. Mccall, Gros-
yenor and Crumpacker, republicans, and
defended in bitterly worded speeches
by Messrs. Burleson, it's author, and
Chairman Jenkins, of the judiciary
committee, the house by record vote
of 1O7 to 66 tabled the bill, having
refused in the first instance to agree
to the report of the cOnferees.
MI. ndcCaiI VINO leu the nght on the
measure, declared that it changed the
entire fabric of the criminal laws
General Grosvenor interrupted to say
that the only way to get the measure
out of the way was to promptly kill it.
| 1t attempts to create an ideal for
the universe. - continued Mr.. Mccall.
1T is difficult in government like ours
to keep the lid down on secret informa-
ton. If an official can give informa.

Delta county. The body of Peter La

the l. Stephenson company, was found
late this afternoon in root house
near the camp, burned beyond recogni-

the camp when remaining members Of
the crew fed and when the flames
reached the spot sought refuge in the
house where he was suffocated. :.
Many other woodsmen. who fled from
their camps when the fire approached
in wild confusion, are missing, together
with a large number of homesteaders
and their families. In most instances
it is believed that the missing people
reached places of safety, while in others
it is practically certain that entire fam
lilies were caught in the circle of flames
