smuggling, had his case called this
morning for argument on the motion
made last week by his attorney, F. r.

Judge Clemons granted permission to
have the arguments submitted in
briefs, that of the defendant to be in
by Wednesday next, while the prose-
cutiOn is given three days longer.
Smith has not yet entered plea, and
from all indications the case is to be
a very long drawn-out one, with no
technicality that may delay action be-

"A systematic method of reporting
upon fruit tree and fruit fly condi-
tions will not be started until the
completion of the sectional maps of
the blocks within the area covered
by the proposed regulations of the
Board of Agriculture" said Director
w. NJ. Giffard to a Star reporter
These working maps cannot be com
pleted for a few weeks. AS the maps
now being drawn by the survey ie-
partment of the Board OF Health au-
thorities will show all premises N
tended to be inspected for fruit con
ditions, sections of these maps will
be used by the fruit fly inspectors as
soon as they are prepared.
"All premises will be numbered on
the maps and the inspectors will re-
port to the director of the campaign
by number on forms printed for the
purpose. These forms of reports will
show among other particulars the
names of occupants, the conditions of
premises as regards fruit, the approx
innate number of trees bearing if any,
the condition of ripeness of the fruit
if any, the area and variety of vege-
tables if any, the method of disposi-
ton of fallen or overripe fruit and
vegetables, whether it be by garbage
carrier or by burning or otherwise,
etc.
"As soon as the regulations are in
force the fruit fly inspectors will be
required to see that occupants CT
premises dispose of all fallen or de-
caying fruit daily in a manner salts

Both Sides
Win Points

In the injunction case of John II.
Wilson brought to restrain the belt
road commission and the Territorial
auditor from carrying out the contract
entered into with the Lord-Young En-
gineering Company, Judge Robinson
this morning overruled the demurrers
eon which the attorneys have been ar
guing for several days, and granted
ten days for the filing of answers,
Yesterday afternoon Wilson's attor-
neys moved to amend the petition by
a statement alleging that the pro-
posal for bids as advertised and the
specification were indefinite and un-
certain so that no definite and GER
tain bid could be made on them, and
that from the specifications and terms
of the bidding it is impossible to- de-
termine who was the lowest bidder
This morning Judge Robinson first
admitted this motion, but later before
announcement revised his opinion and
denied the motion,

FACTS ABOUT FRUIT
FLY CAMPAIGN

all premises covered by their several
beats; (2) will request the gathering
or burning Oh all fallen fruit, ETC.,
noticed by them on any premises
which they are Inspecting, and (3)
will show by their reports the approx
innate area of premises which they
can efficiently cover daily.
"In this preliminary work a few
inspectors only have been employed,
The number will be increased as soon
as it is ascertained just how much
area one man can efficiently cover in
the districts where fruit trees are
abundant.
"As soon as the systematic work
just mentioned is inaugurated there
will be a general distribution of In
secticide traps to catch adult flies.
These will be placed in fruit trees by
the inspector. In the fruit section of
the city it is essential that as many
of these flies as possible be caught
before the fruit season opens, thereby
lessening the chances of infestation.
The gathering and proper disposition
of fallen fruit infected with the mag
gots will prevent the breeding Of
countless numbers of the fly, but as
such a method does not destroy the
adults, the females of which are ready
to oviposit on the coming fruit sup
ply, it will be necessary to trap as
many of these as possible. Every
female fruit fly destroyed at this time
means the prevention of what other
wise would be an increased colony.
Fruit flies are great breeders. 1t
takes only two or three weeks to get
new generation. 1t can easily re
imagined to what enormous proper
tions the pest can be increased by
the carelessness or lack of co-Opera-
