Bureau of Entomology Coming.

There is a strong probability that the
bureau of entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, will remove
it laboratory from Dallas, Tex, to some
point in Mississippi. The entomologists
in charge of this laboratory have been
engaged for several years in a study of
the boil weevil, and it is regarded as
proper that, in view of the migration
of that pest, the laboratory should fol-
low in its wake, and ascertain whether
the destructive powers of the weevil are
being weakened as it moves in its course
across the cotton belt.

TAL|AN-AMER|CAN
REPUBLICANS FOR
MAYOR HAUSSL|NG

Mayor Haussling's reelection was in
dorsed unanimously last night by the
executive and the advisory committees
of the Italian-American Republican
Club, an organization which has on it's
rolls more than 200 active voters of
italian birth and ancestry. The meet
ing took place at 81 Hoyt street.
An effort was made to indorse Will
lam Harrigan for sheriff, but while sen
timent was almost evenly divided, there
was not sufficient strength to put the
resolution through.
Endorsement was given to the Mayor,
according to the resolutions adopted,
because he had proved his friendship
for Italian-American citizens, n was
the only Mayor who, in many years,
had given recognition to them. There
fore, the members of the committees
thought, he was entitled to the entire
Italian vote in the city. The members
pledged themselves to do what they
could in all parts of the city for the
Mayor.
A committee to continue active work
for the Mayor was named by the chair
man, +. A. Sachetti, who explained why
the club should not indorse the Repub-
lican candidate, Frank j. Book. On the
committee Mr.. Sachetti named Felice
Di Leila, chairman; Salvatore Cerreto,
Antonio Deddario, Donate Lanno. An
tonic Fragioso, James Cantorella and
himself, ex-officio.

a seamstress, is dying in Roosevelt
Hospital, having sacrificed her life in a
successful effort to save the lives of the
scores of people who, with her, occupied
a tenement house in West Forty-third
street.
While Miss Farrell, who lived on the
top floor, was preparing supper, an oil
stove on which she was cooking ex-
ploded. Miss Farrell seized the blazing
stove in her arms and hurried dow the
front stairs of the building, crying out
to the occupants of the other rooms to
close their doors and give her and her
blazing burden a clear ~passageway.
Though the flames ate their way into
her flesh she did not hesitate. At the
bottom of the second flight of stairs
she fell on top of her fiery burden. The
hospital surgeon, who responded to a
call, pronounced her injufies fatal.

him by her side, the bachelor girls de-
cided that it would be just the thing
to hold their meetings on that night.

do his coming week, n this winter,
