POLICEMEN ARE
ACCUSED IN THE
CLAICHE CASE

New York Feb 27.--An unusual situa-
tion. temporarily overshadowing the real
issue IN the case, confronted the court
and Jury when the trial of Berthe Claiche
for the murder OF Emil Gerdron was re-
sumed i'm the criminal branch Of the SUI
preme court today. This was the inquiry
into the part which two policemen are
alleged 10 have had in Gerdron's death
Charges were made az the opening OF
the trial yesterday by Assistant District
Attorney Ely that two members or the
police force aided the girl in her deed and
promised her immunity.
The largest part OF the opening day was
spent investigating this phase of the case.
Mr. Ely brought out evidence that letter
was sent to Gerdron before his death and
that after IL $500 was reported TO have
been stolen from the body.
Although he obtained no evidence to
show who wrote the letter or took the
money, the prosecution charged that
policemen were responsible In both cases
and that by the letter Gerdron was lured
to the place where he was shot while
under arrest.
Berthe Claiche herself apparently had
only minor part I'm tho first days pro-
ceedngs except as a spectator. She fire.
quently appeared 10 be greatly agitated,

ment Of the policemen.

GETTING RID OF MOSQUITOES.
Costs 81 .yB an Acre TO Drain Jersey Land,
but IL Pays.

A mosquito infested community means a
marked depreciation in the value OF real
estate. Yet the measures necessary to
destroy this pest are not difficult or ex-
pensive.
The best method Of all, as pursued with
success in New Jersey, is the drainage
system. AS long as stagnant pools of
water exist the mosquitoes will breed
therein, and to remove this water is to go
to the root of the whole business.
A swamp can be easily drained into the
sea or river by a series Of open bitches.
In sea marshes or meadows these bitches
are dug down to the level of low tides,
thus allowing the water to escape.
These are fed by a series of narrow
tributary bitches Q inches wide and Is in
depth, each smaller ditch being sufficient
to drain the land for so feet on either side
of It..
According to Outdoors, this form Of
drainage costs but S1.75 an acre. Five
thousand acres can be draine for $500.
At MONMOUTH, II: J.. The mosquito ptugue
was mitigated 80 per cent. by this means.
AS mosquitoes do not wander far from
their birthplace. it is expected in time that
the remaining 20 per cent. will be annihi-
lated. The rise in value in reak estate in
Monmouth has far more than repaid the
cost Of removing the mosquitoes.

CAMPING IN NEW YORK CITY.
Islands Within City Limits where You May
Pitch Your Tent.

II you win take up any good map OF New
York city and follow along the East River
with your finger until it joins the Sound
you will find that, from there on, the western
shore Of the Sound is dotted with small
isla nds.
AS to their number and extent the map
itself may prove deceptive, says Couutry
Lite in America; for many Of the smaller
dots are in actually merely barren rocks
Of but a few yards area, and not a Few OF
them are almost awash at high tide.
Tho exploration of this half-dozen miles
Of shore either by launch or rowboat is a
fascinating occupation, and you will find
before you reach the city limits some de,
cidedly primitive natural conditions, as well
as a score or 30 of islands, small, but well
above the water and with scrubby under
growth among the rocks, and here and there
an occasional tree or two.
Some Of them belong to the city, some TO
individuals, while others, and some OF the
best, are Of doubtful ownership and title.
One or two are permanently occupied, but
the others are in almost every case accessi-
bic to orderly camping parties, and many
of those near the shore are 80 used every
year.,
