HawIey Has New Popular
Dance
KNOWN AS THE "QUITO" DANCE
AND Is QUITE THE RAGE.

AMI 10 QOIlI ihtD INAbEs
Down in Hawley the mosquito
is king. Everybody is fighting him,
but he still reigneth. He is no re-
spector of persons and treats all
alike 1t is amusing to watch the
victims stand first on one leg and
then on the other, scratching the
back of their legs with the toe of
their shoes. 1t is called quito
dance and only those who have been
bitten by the long-billed pest can
successfully take the different steps.
The dance is becoming more and
more popular and the numbers are
increasing daily. Swat is also
another well known gesture and is
practised by several others who
cannot do the quito" dance. Some
people, however, have become so pro-
ficient that they can go through all
the motions at the same time. The
busy mosquito sings on and only
laughs at his victims when an eff
fort of swat" is tried.
There have been no signs of this
pestilential visitor in Honesdale un-
til they were imported here via the
Erie railroad, riding in first-class
style, some of them occupying seats
in the Pullman car. They are here,
however, but unlike they are in
Hawley, where many of them weigh
a pound and climb the trees and
bark.
The mosquitoes are driving the
city guests from Blooming Grove and
other Pike county resorts. A char
tered Pullman brought a number of
New York people to Glen Eyre one
day recently and after staying one
night at Blooming Grove the party
entered automobiles and motored
back to New York.

Found Her Dead
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

OROyILLE, Dec. Pin an effort to
clear her brother from the charge of
numbering her stepdaughter, Helen
Rumban. Mrs. Emma Rumball took the
stand today and despite the fact that
she is also charged with the murder OF
the girl gave testimony to the effect
that she was the last person to see
Helen Rumball alive.
With the. testimony of Mrs. Rumball
the defense rested. The first witness
placed on the stand in rebuttal directly
Eimpeached her on one of the vital points
of her story.
The story told by Mrs. .Rumball was
most circumstantial, explaining in de-
tail all the strongest points made
against her. The parks on the arm of
the girl were explained as having been
caused when she took hold OF her. The
gag" she said, was a handkerchief
that she gave the girl when her nose
was bleeding. She admitted tying the
girl in the attic about o'clock. saying
that she caught the girl in an untruth
and tied her there until she promised
not to tell any more lies.
She explained how she bound the girl
hand and foot and tied her to stud
ding, and admitted leaving the girl for
a prolonged period. although the latter
sent an urgent message saying that she
must be released at once.
The ropes with which the girl was
bound were shown to Mrs. Rumball, and
she identified them without any show
of emotion.
After Lewis left the attic where the
girl was bound. Mrs. Rumba1l said, she
went there twice and the girl was alive
each time She stated that at O'Clock
she went there the third time and found
the girl with the rope around her neck,
her hands behind and lying lifeless on
the floor.
She testified that she went to the
barn and told her brother, Arthur Lew
is, that the girl was dead. and he ac-
companied her to the attic, carrying
the girl down in his arms.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Exeepting
as indicating the extent of Russian
resentmentsaf the action of the United
states In abrogating the treaty of 1882,
the Introduction in the durna today of
the bill attacking the American ex-
port trade with Russia is not regarded
with much concern in. official circles
here.
Even If the measure should be adopt
ed by the dunla, it. would require. the
approval of the imperial council and
Of the emperor himself TO become law.
In that case 1t could not take effect
before January ]. 1913, because of the
continuance until that date of the
present treaty with its favored nation
clause.
Indications are that negotiations for
a new treaty will not be undertaken
seriously before September. In the in
term, the Russian general elections
will have been held and the great
American quadriennial political conven-
tlons will have passed into history. RE
moved from all likelihood OF. political
influence in either country. it is felt
that negotiations then can be con-
Quoted in calm and judicial manner.
That there may be two treaties in
stead of one is regarded as probable
One of these conventions would deal
entirely with matters of trade and COM
nlerce, and the operation OF its favored
nation clause if one were embodied,
would be confined TO these subjects
The other treaty would relate purely
to matters of citizenship and natural
ization, which. of course, would involve
some treatment of the Jewish question.
The adoption Of this course may be
suggested by the Russian government

At Carnegie's residence it was said
