MOSQUITO War HAS BEGUN
Doom of Midsummer Pest Sealed
in Baltimore.
Health Commissioned BOsley Presses
Whole Population Into Array
OF determination.

Baltimore, May Farewell 10 the mo-
squitoes. Their doom is sealed. The anti
mosquito ordinance went into effect at
midnight last night. and sunrise marked
the beginning Of the campaign TO rid the
city Of the midsummer pests.
Health Commissioner B0sley is the
major general and directing genius of
the anti-mosQuito campaign. and with
$4,000 in real money 10 spend he hopes
10 clean out the pests. Their breeding
places viii be sought out. and they viii
be killed right In their own homes by
copious draughts OF ordinary kerosene
OIL
Every householder is responsible, under
the new ordinance, for such mosquito
breeding places as are located upon his
own property. The lists Of such places
are contained In the notices which Or.
Bosley is publishing in the daily papers,
and. also on cards, which have been
delivered at each and every house by
the police. It IS the duty of the house
holder TO eliminate the nuisance and so
prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
This is not going to be a persecution,
said DR.. Bosley to-day. If we can end
the mosquito nuisance, it will be a good
thing for Baltimore. and in our efforts
to end it we are asking the hearty CO.
operation OF all Baltimoreans. They are
liable to be fined if they refuse 10 do the
things prescribed by the ordinance, but
We do not want TO have anybody ar
rested"
DR. Bosley has made some investiga-
tons. and has learned that plain kerO-
sene oil is just as effective in killing
mosquitoes as crude petroleum, It Is
also just as safe and just as cheap
Everybody can get kerosene oil. and Dr.
Bosley advises everybory to lay In sup
ply and start to work at once on a still
hunt for mosquitoes.

The new rate of fare, and a new schedule.
with trips an hour and half apart. from

morning.
This rate of fare between the two cities
is the lowest ever given. For thirty years

been Is cents for The round trip. OF 10
cents one way, while the rate by rail has
been . cents for the round trip. The diff

Ronnding I'D Voters.

In view of the fact that next Saturday
viii be the last day on which citizens
can pay their poll taxes as a prerequisite
TO voting in the November election, local
political leaders have commenced an ae-
tive campaign OF instruction among the
voters in order 10 swell, as much as pos
sible the list of those eligible 10 take
part in the Democratic primary June 10,
for the nomination of a candidate for
Congress from this district. Already
numerous overdue eapitaJion taxes have
been paid. and it is predicted that the
number of persons who viii be certified
as voters for the primary VIII be con-
sideraby greater than those registered
for recent elections. in the Montague
Martin primary 100 ballots were cast in
this city. It is estimated by some that
these figures VIII be exceeded by from
l00 to 200 in the coming election.
1t is explained that under the present
law it is necessary for a voter not only
90 have paid his capitation taxes for
the three years since the adoption of tho
State constitution. but TO have his name
on the eligible list prepared by the city
treasurer. Should omissions occur in list
ing the names. If not remedied before the
election. those affected viii not be per
mitted To cast their ballots. even though
they exhibit their tax receipts.
