day, literally shoveling up the millions

night ike an Egyptian plague.
The visitation Is discouraging to the
State nd city authorities. who have
been engaged in a fight with the
scourge since it first appeared in Mas
saChusUtts a few years ago. Prob
ably half a million dollars were spent
in the last SIX months in destroying
the eggs OF the moth and the grubs
that Matched from them.
Preparations are being made today 20
attack the billions Of eggs which these
moths laid during the night and which.
If left undisturbed, would hatch enough
caterpillars TO denude every park and
private estate about Boston.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Brooklyn po-
lice have in hand a baby burglar girl
aged nine; and they declare her 20 be
the toughest case they have ever known.
She is frail. puny mite. not so high
ss the waist of Detective Thomas Rob-
inson. the officer in charge of her, and
she has pale cheeks and innocent blue
eyes. Yet her skill and daring are
said to have amazed her captors.
Several times she has been caught by
her victims and let off unsupported be
cause she was so little and so young.
and looked so simple Even when she
was captured yesterday evening the
police laughed atthe notion that she could
be the cunning thief who mas been steal
ing in the fashionable section civilians
burg for weeks, and they did not wish
to arrest her.
Her name is Annie Reilly. and she
lived with her father. Richard Reilly,
a stevedore's laborer, at 3S9 Iiewse
street, Brooklyn, where for a month
past the man has occupied a single
room. with his two children, Annie and

at $50 HeWes street. and the baby
burglar says she cannot remember when
she went 10 the hospital. and does not
know which hospital II was.

share, and so was trotting along By
his side

 ing Hour Coming.

The title role of ''The Blue Mouse," the new faroG adapted by Clyde Fitch from the now famous German farce of the same name which has run for two seasons in Berlin, is a Salome dancer known by the name used as the title of the play. This is the first play in which the private life and ln- trigues of a Salome dancer have ever been shown to tho public, In this connection 1t is only just to mention that "The Blue Mouse" is a perfectly respectable young person at heart in spite of chorus girl language and an ultra theatrical manner of looking at life.
 The Blue Mouse" who Is known to the world as Paulette DeWne, though her name at birth was plain Maggie McFTooley, has ambitions to be some- thing more than Salome dancer. She Is engaged to a young man who has written musical play in which she is anxious to star but she and the young man together lack the nec- essary money to launch the venture In order to get this money she con- sents to various deceptions incidental to impersonatng the wife of Mir. Au- gustus Rollott, Q young married man who Is private secretary to the presi- dent of the New York Inter- County railroad. The president has a habit of wining and dining the wives of his young secretaries and Rollott engaged the Blue Mouse" to appear as his wife and help him win advancement while his real wife remains securely al home The result of thls complI- cation Is that Mrs. Rollott and The Blue Mouse" become almost hopeless ly confused espccally when the father of the real Mrs. Rullett comes down from Cohoes 10 investigate tho con duct of his son-in-law.
