NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-With her

The assault and robbery occurred
across the street from the Bronx De-
tectiVe Bureau, and within half a block
of the Morrisania police station, and
is declared to have been committed by
one of two men who have made the
detective bureau their loafng place for
several days. The two men have been
in and out of the ~station-house and
had become familiar figures in the
neighborhood.
The outrage is only one of many
similar crimes that have been COM
mitted in the vicinity in the past few
months and the police today admit
they have absolutely no clue to the
men.
Mrs. Hughes. who is only twenty-five
vears old. and recently married, Is a hand
some woman.
Mrs Hughes and her mother-in Law
were talking at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. when the young wife said tnat
she must Set her husbands dinner pre-
uared. She was at the rear of her apart
ments. when there came a ring at the
fIont door.
Answering it she met one OF the men
who had been seen so frequerd y across
the street in the past week.
"Haye you a Mr.. Thorn boarding here!"
the man asked
Mrs. Hughes had rented a room IN me
rear OF her apartments to a Mr.. Thorn,
and replied she had such a tenant, but
added:
IT don't think he is ii now.
She started to Thorn's room to see II
he was there. when the man stepped be-
hind her aud felled her with a sendbag.
When she regained consciousness the man
had dragged her to a bedroom In the rear
OF the aprtments and, tearing a sheet into
strips. had bound her hand and foot, placed
a gag over her mouth and tied her TO a
chair.
The robber then tied the helpless woman
and the chair to the bed and, after striking
her several times. began to ransack the
house.
The cords that bound Mrs. Hughes cue
deep into her flesh and blood was howinS
from the wounds on her head and face
when again she lost consciousness.
When the husband came home and his
repeated rings were not answered by his
wife he went to the home Of his mother
and asked permission TO climb from her
airshaft over to his own window. Tne
husband found his wife unconscious and
nearly strangled to death By the cords

INSPECTION BY
WATER SUPPLY
COMMISSION
Commissioners Went Over
Ground and Mapped Out
Their Work.

The members Of the state Water Supply
Commission, created last year by legisla-
tive enactment and later appointed by
Governor Stokes, made a two days trip
over the waterways of North Jersey.
starting last Tuesday and returning last
night.
The trip was made in an
and in the party were Commissioners j.
Henry Bachelor, Of Newark; George IL.
Wright. OF Paterson; II. r. HUMPHREYS, of
lCamden: Richard Morrell of Passaic, and
former Governor Foster M. Voorhees,. of
Elizabeth, together with the chief engi-
neer of this city. Morris r. Sherrerd, who
is consulting engineer of the commission.
The commission Of five was created to
have general supervision over all the
sources of potable and public water sup
ply. 10 the end that the water may be
economically and p%rudently developed for
the use Of the people of this state, and IN
some instances supersedes the authority OF
the Flood Commission, which ii will super
sede entirely "a soon as that body can DC
legislated out OF business.
The trIp was one of many that Will be
necessary TO cover the waterways of the
State SO as to give the commissioner a
proper insight into the nature of the diff
cnlties to be overcome and the most feas-
ible plans to be adopted.
The party went along the banks of the
Passaic. to Passaic. thence to Paterson,
then to Paterson Falls. which they found
dry, and afterward inspected the site for
the storage reservoir proposed by the
United States Geological Survey so that
the flood waters now wasted can be saved
for municipal supply. At the present the
flow OF the Passaic does not exceed the de-
mand greatly.
After leaving there the party continued
TO Mountain View to the site OF the pro-
posed lake OF the flood commission for
damming the Passaic aud saving the flood
water, and then visited the P%equannock
watershed, where the city water is pro-
cured from and inspected Hinton Reset
voir and Oak Ridge and then went to he
inlet where they found everything in good
condition.
The trip was continued through Long
wood and the Berkshire Valley to LakeHo-
patcong, where n launch was procured and
the dockage and methods of lowering the
lake were studied carefully and the COM
missioners acquired some interesting data
They looked into the manner In which the
canal was fed from the lake.
The party stayed at the lake all night.
and yesterday morning crulsed about

journey along the canal. At Wharton II
was found that the Wharton Furnace
Company had a II arrangement for using
the water of the canal for cooling the
hot masses of iron and steel, and when
the water was returned to the canal it
was boiling hot, An arrangement was dis
covered by which the hot water could be
sent into the Rockaway River instead of
back TO the canal if it was so desired,
and from thence the contaminated water
could flow into the Boonton reservoir.
This line was followed carefully by the
commissioners and the engineer and when
the Boonton reservoir was reached Il

A superficial inspection OF the natural

which is a portion OF the site that could
be used for the holding of the flood water

Flood Commission, was made. and the
party left with a better insight of their du-
ties than before the inspection.

to say anything about the conclusions
reached. and merely told OF the incidents
of the trip, and Chief Engineer Norris R.

ENTHUSIASTIC
HOSTS LEAVE
FORTRENTON
Regulars and New Idea Go
to Convention to Fight
for FavOriteS.

Evincing great enthusiasm for their
respective candidates, the Republican
hosts of Essex County departed for
Trenton by Pennsylvania trains be-
tween 9 and $40 o'clock this morning.
Banners bearing the names of John
Franklin Fort, the Essex County Re-
publican clubs, Frank Sommer and the
Colby Equal Taxation League were
scattered over the great platform of
the Market street railroad station and
on the plaza west of the station.
The Essex County organization and
its adherents We're in the majority at
8 o'clock, the Sommer delegates and
their workers having engaged a
special train which. was scheduled to
leave long after the Regulars.
When the Essex special of twelve
coaches entered the depot the Regulars
set up a shout, the band began to play,
and in the p-andemonium of noise
cheers were started for Fort, which
finally drowned out lesser noise. Prob
ably 800 to 900 husky, d~eep-voiced
shouters were aboard the train when 1t
left the station.
Almost Immediately after the de-
parture belated Regulars arrived by
every trolley car, and the station plat
form again began to fill up with a
second crowd nearly as big as the first.
The Hudson County special took
away many of these at 9:22, N three
minutes later the regular Pennsylvania
Trenton special carried off the balance.
While these trains were filling up
and departing the Colby or Sommer
forces were assembling down stairs on
the cement walk and plaza. They were
very enthusiastic, too, and every one
of them seemed to believe that their
candidate was going to win.
AS the 1925 o'clock Trenton special
pulled out, the Sommer delegates with
their party associates headed by the
band marched, cheering and shouting
for Sommer through the station to the
big railroad platform. The Sommer
banners were at the front of the line,
and as their special came in with its
empty coaches another cheer arose
which continued until the big crowd
was seated.

ton was furnished by the disgraceful
death.rate from typhoid one Of the most
scandalous of the many murders OF official
stupidity, in our camps in the south dur
ing the Spanish-American war 1t was
clearly proved by the eminent commission
Of experts, who investigated the situation
post-mortem, that the principal means OF
the spread of this dreaded disease was the
flight of flies from the ,excreta OF the
earliest cases to the food exposed in the
camp kitchens, carrying the typhoid
germs on their legs and PROPOSES, tx
periments were promptly set on foot, and
a gruesomely vivid confederation fur
nished. Flies were allowed to feed upon
meat smeared with cultures of various
bacilli, then induced to alight on gelatin
plates, and walk about on them. These
plates were then placed in an incubator,
and every step of the track of the fly
could, in a few days, be traced by the
clumps of bacilli which sprang up where
his feet had planted them.
Not merely typhoid, but tuberculosis,

most anywhere he can breed only in some
form of filth, most commonly and chiefly
in barnyard manure, particularly horse
manure. This he infinitely prefers, but
can make shift with garbage barrels, dust
bins, or other accumulations of dirt. De
stroy or properly disinfect the latter, and
remove stables outside Of town limits,
and flies will quickly disappear. That
this is not too good to be true one may
satisfy himself by practical test. In
small towns, where stables can not be
got rid of, if the manure be thrown into
tight box or pit. the opening of which
is covered by wire screen swing door,
or failing this, as a rough and ready
substitute, the heap be sprinkled once a
week with little Paris green or other
form of arsenic, to poison both the brood
ing flies and any eggs they may deposit,
the plague can be stayed. Or the problem
may be attacked from the other end of
the line where open-vault priviss are in
use. by sprinkling the latter with arsenic,
and thus killing any flies that may resort
to them and become infected. We have
known small towns, where the water sup
ply was good, kept entirely clear from
any spread of typhoid by this simple pre-
caution, while their neighbors, with equal
ly good water supply, suffered severely.

THE FLY AS A PUBLIC ENEMY.
His Danger Is Great but the Exter-
mination Is Easy.

One by one the plaques of Egypt are
being abolished by science. The frogs
were abolished long ago by the draintile.
The flies are checked by insect powder,
and the darkness that could be felt has
melted away before the arc light. The
sixth plague still remains in full glory.
The fly is always with us. The great DR..
Radcliffe used to declare that the three
worst annoyances of life were smoke
flies, and irrelevant questions. Humanity
has hitherto accepted these with patient
shrug of the shoulders as among the in
evitable. At last the worm has turned.
1t is proceeding slowly to put on smoke
consumers, and has declared war of ex-
termination against the fly. The motives
which whet' our hitherto easily blunted
purpose are supplied by science. They
are, first, that flies carry disease; second,
that their very presence is a sign of dirt.
That the fly is frequently the Angel of the
Pestilence has long been suspected, but
its most vivid and impressive demonstra-
