Announce Winners Sunday.

It probably will be late tomorrow night
before DR.. Murray and his assistants
finish the count and complete the records
Of the contestants. The work will be con-
cluded in time, however, for the an
nouncement Of the twenty-seven winners
in The Sunday Star.
First, second and third prizes will be
worth to the winners, S25, $50 and S15
respectively. AS the records stand to
date. first place is apt to go to any of
the leaders. The contestants realize this
which is responsible for the strenuous eff
forts being put forth.
The work of the health department will
not be concluded tomorrow, for, begin
ming bright and early next Monday, Dr.
Murray will group the cards of the con-
testants by sections, with the object Of
determining what parts of the city con-
tributed the most flies.
Health department officials will use the
results Of the contestants in an effort to
ascertain what conditions are responsible
for the appearance of greater number of
flies in one section than another. The de-
partment intends using extreme measures,
if necessary, to eradicate the conditions.

Parts Of City Now F'lyless.

Many sections Of the city already have
become practically f1yless. Indications are
that today and tomorrow every part of
the capital will undergo final inspection
at the hands Of the crusaders The two
days undoubtedly will be the most disas-
trous for the fly of any of the campaign
and the insect that survives will be
lucky one.
The George P Killian Manufacturing
Company today delivered the last fly
boxes to the Associated Charities sta
tions. All of the stations were stocked up
sufficiently for this mornings demand
and the contestants who were given the
boxes announced that they intended to
turn them in tomorrow filled to the brims
with flies.
Several children were given more than
one box, because they convinced the
charities officials that 1t would require at
least two or three to hold the insects that
they expect to slaughter today.
Mr.. killian has manufactured and do
mated to the campaign approximately
5000 boxes.
The Merchants Transfer and Storage
Company has announced that it will have
its wagons out by 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning collecting the final results of the
slaughter. The boxes will be delivered to
the health department before noon and
the counting of the insects will begin i'm
mediately.

MUST ANSWER FOR MURDER
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, August A. 1911.
Arrangements for the reopening of the
public schools next month were made last
school board. 1t was decided to begin
the work of issuing permits to children
to attend the week of September 4. and
the schools will be reopened for studies,
after nearly two months holiday, Sep
TENDER IL. The indications are that the
attendance at the coming scholastic year
will be greater than the past year.
The school board also transacted con-
siderable business of a routine nature.
Supt. Sweeney reported having attended
the meeting of the state superintendent
in Farmviile. Va.
A report that all of the schools are be-
ing given a general overhauling prepara-
tory to the reopening was made by the
committee on schoolhouses and furni-
ture, and, in addition, it was stated, the
work is now in progress at Washington
Public School for boys.
Everything, it was stated, will be COM
pleted in time for the reopening.
An attractive feature with the reopening
of the schools will be the establishment
Of high school at Lee School, which
will be taught by William A. Anderson,
jr., of Bristol. Tenn. who was recently
chosen principal. 1t is expected that the
high school will attract many who have
heretofore been compelled to go out of
the city in order to get high school
education.

The murder occurred August Il, 1909.
just beyond the corporate limits of this
city, and Tucker was apprehended July
2S last.
The copious showers of yesterday after
noon and last night relieved the water
situation here. and the threatened famine
has passed, although more water is need
ed before the supply will be normal.
The rain last night added considerable
water to the watershed Of the water
company. which is today being pumped
into the reservoir, and the city will not
have any water famine, was believed
the backbone of the drought being
broken by last nights rain.

Look for Whirlwind Finish.

SAOOA LUZ w 11I4W1Au e
With f1y-destroying records that have
surpassed all expectations the contest
ants are preparing for a whirlwind finish
in the campaign. Washingtonians gen.
orally are manifesting great interest in
the outcome.
Yesterday a communication was re-
ceived by The Star for delivery to Law
renee Fitzgerald in which the young con-
testant was told where he might catch
several thousand flies in a few hours.
The name and address of the informer
may be had by Fitzgerald if he will call
at The Star office.
Several communications, addressed to
no particular contestants, but giving the
location of places where flies abound in
large numbers, have been received both
at The Star office and health depart
ment Any of the contestants who de-
sire the benefit of this information may
receive it upon application.
With the comparatively small margins
between the scores of the leaders, the
contestants today and tomorrow are ex-
pected to put forth extra efforts. Many
OF them. doubtless. will find 1t necessary
to extend their scope of operations and
find new backgrounds.
II any of the contestants has over
looked fly center it would be possible
by the discovery of such an abode on the
last day Of the campaign. to add thou

J. Lomen addressed the council at considerable length with an interest ing and instructive lecture on parks and beautiful cities. commencing way back at the time of the Greeks and binging the same down to the present day. He talked hard and long for a donation of sl,000 toward Barracks square park. he wished the city to donate toward the funds they were trying to raise, calling attention to the fact that the city of Nome has never done anything in the way of helping the children and women folks with park or place of recreation and he believed it their duty to con- tribute the sum of s1.o0O
 A. Polet backed up Mir Lomen and suggested that a committee from the city council be appointed to work in conjunction with the general commit tee.
 MT. Taggart, also member who wanted the city to "come through to help the park along, stated he thought many were taking the affair as d huge joke, but it was not joking matter. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead. who never in his heart has said this is my own my native land" he quoted in support to his argument McManus was then called upon and he stated he came up to lend an air of responsibility to the other members of the park committee But was sur prised with the ease and business like manner in which the council went ahead and ordered this and that work performed. and this and that thing purchased" Why if could have got ten the ear of MT. Lomen I would have told him to ask for s2. 900 instead of one"
 Reilley then moved that the city do- nate the sum of s200. which was seconded by Councilman Williams Under discussion of the motion. Watch Dog Meikle of the finnace committee stated: 'I don't want to create the impression that I am against the park movement for I am not have a little daughter that l expect will play in and enjoy the same, but in the present financial condition Of the city we can not go too deeply into the city funds. In fact We have been dipping too deep into them already for we have only about Se,000 left and many bills and appropriations in sight But should We grab the sl2,OOO or sl5.OOO from the J. ]. Sesnon Company in the near future I would be willing to go little stronger perhaps"
 The mayor then called Dad will jams to the chair and addressed the council for some length on the subject stating the money from the J. I Ses non Company would be forthcoming about July l5 he felt sure of that amount.
 The sum Of s2OO was then appro. pilateu TOT the benefit of the city park all voting in favor of them except Councilman Yorkey who refused to vote when his name was called
 The finance committee was then in- structed to estimate the city's income for the next year and the cost Of run. ming the same so to see what should be needed in the way of taxes to carry on the city until next April 20
 One of the citizens then addressed the council about the benefits to be derived from the park as 1t would keet the young boys from going out and killing birds on the tundra. Then council adjourned.
