government hot-bed and incubator
tof the production of mosquitoes of the
tWo-blil unbreakable variety is apparent
" being unconsciously tolerated in Po-
tomac Park, said a prominent member
OF the Washington Drivers ard Riders
Association to- a Star reporter today.
IT is along the line of the speedway
and covers the land bordering the track
which was cleared of weeds and under
Drush at the expense of our members
1t cost something like $3.50 to put the
speedway, the horse show ring and ad-
Jacent grounds in condition for the bril-
llant events which have been held there
But now, so rich is the soil, the weeds
nave entirely covered the ring and the
borders along the entire length of the
track. Even the track itself is half
covered in some places.
"A rev evenings ago l drove over the
speedway and my horse and myself
were nearly eaten alive by great big
well equipped mosquitoes of the gallinip-
per variety, that either sink two shafts
into the quivering flesh at one blow. or
strike so quickly with their well devel-
doubled. Horsehide is no bar to these
monsters of the insect world, and their
song would make an act of itself for the
variety stage.
The weeds which harbor them and in
which they breed by the millions, per-
haps, are SO situated that when the
southwest breeze, which is SO welcome in
the evening, sweeps across them it can
not fail to carry a cloud of these mos
quitoes right INTO the White House and
the State. War and Navy departments, to
say nothing of the numerous private
residences that lie west of 18th street"
An inspection of the territory men,
toned showed the complaint to be we'll
founded The weeds vary in height from
one foot to eight, and they are literally
covered with great mosquitoes, one of
which would be sufficient to furnish by
itself e. full night Of torture to a tired
sleeper. The ground is all made ground
that was pumped up from the bottom of
the river. 1t is a veritabe mine of rich
ness for vegetable growth. and the tall
weeds spring up over night and soon lift
their heads high in the air. There are
enough Of them to fully equip the Dis
trict of Columbia and the adjoining
counties of Maryland and Virginia with
mosquitoes for the remainder Of the year
The insects do not seem to be of the
usual bedchamber variety that soothe
with their song before they feast upon
their victims. But they are of the giant
size, some Of them nearly three-quarters
of an inch high They are hardy -looking
insects, too. A facetious- dark-skinned
'bystander remarked AN, mister, eff

Evil Easily Abated Now.

These weeds that harbor the mosqut-
toes are not grown by design, nor indeed,
it is said, are they due ito serious ne-
glect on the part of Col Cosby's forces,
but they have sprung up in very brief
time and cover acres of ground stretch
ing from, perhaps, 18th street as far as
the river and hundreds of feet back
from the roadway on B street south
ward. They are not deeply rooted, for
a child could pull up by the roots the
tallest and the thickest of them. I'm
less checked soon they seem likely to
seriously menace the peace of others
than those who go for an afternoon
drive along the speedway or the park
driveway on the water front.

stituted by the heirs of one Warren Nit

of destroyed bales of cotton, promises

ance of about $13,347.60 in attorneys

Attorney Henry E. Davis instituted an
Intervention suit in the District Supreme
Court today for the purpose of obtaining
the allowance by the court of the entire
fund of s15,347.60 as just fee for serv-
ices rendered.
Originally Mr.. Davis was attorney for
John Paul Jones and Charles D. Penne-
baker who obtained the allowance of the
Mitchell claim through Congress.
Mr. Davis obtained an injunction to
prevent the $13,347 go from being taken
out of the Jurisdiction of the court.
1t was placed in trust with the Amer
lean Security and Trust Company until
the litigation was settled. Jones and

and but for the great presence OF mlnd
of the cool heads present there must
have been many fatalities resulted
from the crowd rushing for the stair
way. AS it was they were told calmly
that the lower floor was on fire and
that with little care and patience all
would be gotten out without any dam
ger. The gentlemen present at once
began lighting matches and all present
were handed along to the stairway and
gradually the nall was emptied without
the slightest disturbance and no push
ing or crowding and the whole throng
reached the street without the slightest
of accident. That all escaped unhurt
is truly wonderful. The fire depart
ment at this fire as at all others showed
its efficiency and in very short time
had it under control and in less than
half an hour every vestige of fire had
been extinguished. 1t is estimated
that the loss to the Kading building
win be about FIVE hundred dollars which
is fully covered by insurance. The loss
to the Family theatre is about the same
but unfortunately Mr.. Breitkreitz car
ried no insurance. Coming just at this
time It'll great loss to Mr.. B. as he
had sold his business and was to have
given possession the following morning.

their praises of the GOODNESS displayed
