MOSQUITOES
INVADE GOTHAM
Plague Of Them Went From
New Jersey and FeaSted
on New Workers

NEW YORK. July s.--Buzz-z-z-zi
Swat
That was about all there was to Il
last night as far as New Workers We're
concerned. Early In the evening the
entire mosquito population Of Jersey
shifted its base Of operations to this
city, and every person, irrespective Of
his social standing, was a reception
committee of one for the pointed OBJ
servations OF several hundred OF the
pests. Compared with last nights
delegation the white moths were well
behaved last week.
zing-g-g-gi Splash
All night long the battle ragged, with
neither side giving or taking any quar-
ter and by rv1anight the universal
scratchin gand swatting throughout
the city had assumed the proportions
of a tornado. Fat men and women
scratched themselves into the feather
weight class, while the man unfortu-
nate enough to have an uncarpeted
crown slapped his steeple until II
swelled like a cornucopia.
Had No Favorites
No one escaped. Bankers and beg
gars, clergynfen and crooks, brokers
and day laborers. society women and
servant girls, all made up the liniment
lines that wended their way to the
nearest drug store.
At any rate, Broadway was not
overlooked in the stingfest. The bugs
swamped the restaurants and stages,
land more than one silk -tighted chorus
girl succumbed TO the temptation to
slap a winged visitor which had grown
too personal in its advances. Most a
the restaurants turned the lights low
an dburned punk. joss sticks and other
bug banishers.
Bellevue Hospital had a serious time
with the pests. Doctors and nurses
were ketp busy administering soothing
lotions with one hand and scratching
with the other Patients had their
heads wrapped In antiseptic gauze and

LIGHTNING HITS
ELSMERE HOUSE
Residence of E. B. ShurteT
Struck, But No Serious
Damage Done

During the electrical storm shortly
after o'clock last night lightning
struck the home of z. b. Shurter at
Elsmere, but the damage was only
slight. Mr. Shurter is secretary of
the Wilmington and Northern Railroad
Company and private secretary TO
United States Senator Henry A. du-
Pont.
The fiery bolt hit the chimney on the
Shurter dwelling, then leaped to the
electric wires and cavorted on its
way to the stable Their the bolt dis
appeared in some manner and without
starting a blaze in the stable.
The only damage done was the
knocking Of some slate from the roof
of the house and the sending of a
shower of SCOT and mortar down the
chimney into the kitchen. The mem
bers of Mr.. Shutters household wers
frightened for few minutes by the
pranks of the lightning, but were r.
lieved to find that no serious damage
had been done.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-As a re-
suit Of a series Of telegraphic commun-
ications between the governmental
Trust Busters" the department Of JUS
tice today began a careful study OF the
present situation with view Of TAX
ing an appeal from he decision of the
Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago
in which the s29,O0O,OO0 imposed by
District Judge Landis was set aside
This appeal would take the form Of ap-
plication for a writ of certioria. There
will be no hurry in deciding the matter
should an attempt be made TO secure
a review of the case by the Supreme
Court of the United States. No action
can be taken until that court meets on
october IL. Solicitor General Hoyt
despite the opinion OF the attorney
general seems to be inclined TO the
course of making application for this
writ.
The department has been quite sue
cessful in getting the Supreme Couri
to consider its appeals in criminal cases
and the solicitor general points out that
the department would have precedentl
for he proposed writ. Should the wrli
be granted or denied It is believed thai
the final determination of the variou.
prosecutions Of the Standard would b'
hastened.
If the department decides TO take M
appeal 1t is more than probably tha
the Chicago case will not be pressed
for the present.
