HELPS SELL STANDARD OIL.
Say Water From Rockefeller's Lake
Fattens Mosquitoes.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. September 1o.-If
the water from the lake on the beautiful
estate of John ID. Rockefeller at Forest
Hill has tendency TO fatten mosoui-
toes what effect will oil from the Stand
ard Oil Company have? This is now a
question to be determined b. the Cleve-
land park board.
For some time the residents in the
neighborhood OF Dugway brook have been
pestered with millions Of mosuuitoes 5
which have bred I'm the brook during low
water. To help the situation the park
board requested Rockefeller to open the
flood gates at his lake which feeds the
brook and allow the water TO flood out
the stream. This he readily consented TO
do, and the lake was drained
The remedy seemed worse than the
cure. The mosquitoes, which before had
been of ordinary size, were claimed by
the inhabitants of the neighhorhood Ia
have grown enormous and waxed far
more energetic on the waters from the
lake until they had become practically
unbearable. The park department mas
now decided TO purchase from the Stand
ard oil Company large quantity of pc
troleum TO turn loose In the brook in
the hope that IL will accomplish what
the flooding process failed to do.

Physicians attending Charles h. HamiI-

Causes Disappointment.

Inc announcement, as published in The
Star yesterday evening. caused great dis
appointment and much comment among
the men as they left the yard yesterday
evening and today. Complaints against
the Navy Department were heard, and
general determination not to give up the
fight was evident on all sides. Through
out many parts of the southeast section
of the city, where great proportion of
the navy yard men reside, small groups
OF machiniSts discussed what were the
best steps to take 10 try to alter the de-
cision or the department.
Naval Lodge Hall, at 4th street and
Pennsylvania avenue southeast, was last
evening the scene OF much animation.
Many OF the machinists gathered there
TO discuss the decision which meant SO
much to their families.
In addition to the direct appeal to
President Taft, strong representations
will be made to various members OF Con-
gress by constituents who are at present
employed in the navy yard. Members OF
House Of Representatives will also be i'm
portuned to attempt to induce the Navy
Department to revise its decision.
Cost of Living Cited.
The present high cost Of living in Wash
ington, said by the men to be much higher
than i'm other cities, especially for labor
ing men, is used most frequently as an
argument in favor of an increase in the
wage scale. The men contend that II is
unfair to set the scale in Washington ac-
cording 10 the scale in force in other
cities.
The employees representatives submitted
an elaborate scale, which they desired to
have adopted. 1t provides, 1t is under
stood, general advance in wages Of
about 10 per cent.

His Second Accident of Day.

Hamilton met with two accidents yes

tomobi.e. which was unable 10 keep up

tempted TO alight, but the huge machine
swooI.ed down to the earth at an acute
angle, dashing to the ground in full view
of 10000 spectators. among whom was
his wife.
The aviator was found unconscious and
covered with blood under the eng ne
Of the biplane. He was extrcated and
sent to his hotel. An examination failed
to reveal any broken limbs. but the
surgeons fear that the pelvic bone is frac-
tured and that he sustained internal In
juries.
Hamilton's face was badly lacerated
one eye being closed. 1t was necessary
to put him under the influence Of opiates.
