KILL THE DISEASE
SPREADING FLY

If you see fly walking over the
food. and dishes. or alighting on
your baby's face remember that he
is a messenger of disease and death
says The July Woman's Home
Compan on.
The rules for dealing with the
fly nuisance published by the
Merchants Association of New
York are worth reprinting. We
repeat our suggestion that an
excellent work for any live
woman's club would be to repro
duce these rules and distribute
them broad cast.
Keep the flies away with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room. His
body is covered with disease
germs.
Do not allow decaying material
of any sort to accumulate on or
near your prem ises. All refuse
which tends in any way to fer
mentatlon such as bedding straw,
paper waste and vegetable matter
should be disposed of or covered
with lime or kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all
receptacles for garbage carefully
covered and the cans cleaned or
sprinkle with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vat
or pit screened or sprinkled with
lime, oil or other cheap prepara-
ton.
Cover food after a meal; burn
or bury all table refuse. Screen
all food for sale.
Screen all windows and doors
especially the kitchen and dining
room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill flies.
Don't forget if you see flies.
that their breeding places is in
near by filth. 1t may be behind
the door, under the table or in
the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth,
there will be no flies.
If there is nuisance Il e neigh

MAINE BLOWN UP FROM INSIDE

The loss of the battle ship Maine
was caused by the explosion of
her three magazines. No such
effect as that produced upon the
vessel could have been caused by
an explosion from without.
Such is the opinion Of General
Vim. Fl. Bixby. chief engineer U.
S. A. who hes returned from a
personal inspection of the work of
raising the Maine.
General Bixby said that a
portion Of the deck over the
magazines was blown upward and
laid backward and there were
numerous conditions Of the hull
which proved that no explosion
from the outside, said General
Bixby, could have caused the same
result.
What the primary cause of the
explosion was" said General
Bixby never will be learned"
General Bixby does not believe
the bodies of those who lost their
lives will he found on the Maine.
He says they are probably buried
200 feet or more from the wreck
in the mud.
While inspecting the work
General Bixby prodded around the
bow Of the vessel. He found by
his soundings that at least two
thirds Of the bow was absolutely
wrecked. The sides had been
practically blown away and were
buried in the mud. This he said
showed ccnclusivcly that tire wreck
Of the Maine was caused by an
explosion within the vessel.

DISTRICT COURT

WHEN court convened TINS morn.
ing the room was we'll filled with
people who had come to hear the
arguments in the Dye arson case.
After admonishing the audiance
that they must not talk among
themselves during the trial the
judge excused Attorney Levers,
and Charles 3. Henders:. for the
state began the opening argument.
At noon Mr.. Henderson had not
concluded his remarks and court
was adjourned until ) o'clock this
afternoon.
Attorney Henderson began his
argument by stating that he
would follow the eV dence closely
and asking the jury and at
torneys for the defense to correct
him if he in any instance deviated
from the evidence that had been
introduced. He then took up the
history of the case from the MORN
ing of June 10, 1910 when the fire
occurred and followed it with the
strong points that had been
brought out by the state connect
ing Dye and Roy Primeaux with
the burning of Sewell's store.
The points he brought out this
morning which point most strongly
to Dyes guilt were Dyes talk
with Sewell in the shel ifs office
when Dye stated to Scwcll that the
Prime auXs were behind him ard
asked what Sewell would do for
him if he confessed; the fact that
holes had been bored in the build
ing the day or night before the
fire and that bits in Dyes posse
sion fitted those holes; that the
ground under the store below
where the holes were bored was
saturated with coal oil and took
fire when Mike SpOth touched a
match to it the next day, and that
when seve raj witnesses passed the
store the night of the fire between
! ! and ~ o'clock without noticing
any fire within the store as would
not have been case if the fire had
been smoldcring from before g
o'clock the time the store was
closed the night before.
Attorney Henderson is bringing
out these points IN clear, cor
vencing style and had covered
about half the ground when the
noon recess was taken.
After the jury had left for the
noon recess Judge Perkcy asked
the court that the defense be
allowed three arguments by the
defeuse's attorneys, one to follow
Attorney Henderson ard two to
follow the next attorney who
appears for the state, and with the
state to close. Judge Avcrill
stated that if he allowed three
arguments for the defense he
would give three to the state and
Judge Perkcy then with drew his
request. A recess was then taken.
Court convened again at 3
O'Clock for three-hour session
and Attorney Henderson had not
completed his argument at the
time that this report closed.
1t looks at this time as if the
case would not 20 to the jury be-

CHIEF SAVES FIREMAN
WHEN WALLS FALL IN
Croker Has Narrow Escape at
.$150,000 Blaze That
Ties Up Traffic.

NEW YORK, January Ga falling wall
of a fire-swept factory building at 69-71
Wooster street today buried fireman on
the ground floor In its debris. Chief
Croker and squad of firemen. who mar
rowly escaped the crash. extricated the
pinioned man, who was only slightly in
jured.
The fire gave the department one of the
hardest fights it has had recently, de-
voured material estimated to be worth
$780, and tied up the 9th avenue ele-
waited for more than two hours during the
busiest time of the morning.
AS result, thousands of persons on
their way down town were wedged into
already crowded trolley and subway cars,
causing serious traffic congestion.
Origin Of Fire Unknown.
The fire started on the third floor and
was bursting through the roof when the
f1remen reached it. Chief Croker imme-
diately ordered the power shut off on the
elevated line. The cause of the fire is
unknown.
Caught in a back-draft during a fire
which swept a five-story building short
ly before midnight, causing an estimated
damage of $1OO.OOO, four firemen were
severely and PROBABLY fatally burned.
The blaze threatened St. Vincent s
Hospital, but was confined to the one
building. a storage warehouse.

DANNEMORA. N. Y, January 6-Dom-
mick Ferrera and Vincent Leonardo,
young Italians from Albany, who MUIR
dered a rent collector at the behest Of
the Black Hand. went to the electric
chair in Clinton prison this morning.
Just before he was strapped in the chair
Leonardo made a confession, which SUBJ
stantiated the evidence Of the Italian de-
tective who had placed himself in a cell
next to the accused men before their trial.
Leonardo said that he and Ferrera had
been selected by the Black Hand to dis
pose Of the rent collector named Phelps.
First they dug a grave under the floor
of saloon, and then when helps called
to collect the rent suddenly attacked him.
Leonardo declares that his companion
did the actual stabbing. The sharpened
file was afterward found in the room of
one of the accused. :
Phelps threw Off both his assailants
and staggered out to the street. He died
October q, 1909, with half q dozen stab
wounds in his head and body.
Ferrera and Leonardo were arrested,
tried 81 parately and both convicted. They
appealed. and their families tried In vain
to get Gov. White to intervene.
The executions occurred shortly after
q o'clock. Both were over in twenty
minutes.
Ferrera went first. maintaining his in
nocence to the last. Both men were calm.

WOULD FIX MEMBERSHIP
OF THE HOUSE AT 433
Tentative Reapportionment
Bill Introduced by Repre-
sentative Crumpacker.

The anxi0Esly awaited reapporti0nment
bill was introduced in the House today
by Representative Crumpacker OF Indi-
ana, chairman of the committee on the
census. 1t calls for House membership
to consist Of 433 members. excluding Ari-
zona and New Mexico. and is SO framed
that states which lost population during
the decade just ended will not have their
representation in the House reduced.
1t is understood that the bill is tentative
and does not necessarily represent the
final views Of the census committee. It
was introduced today principally that 1t
might be Immediately referred back to
the census committee. giving that COM
mittee the subject to deal with in It's offi-
cial capacity.
Committee to Act Tuesday.
Next Tuesday definite action will prob
ably be taken by the census committee,
Director Durand of the census bureau,
Chief Statistician Hill of the division Of
population, and Prof Wilcox Of Cornell
University will appear before the COM
mittee at that time In support Of their
various plans for equitable reapportion-
ment
1t is not yet certain that the member
ship of the House will be increased, Mr..
Crumpacker said today. although many
members of the census compittee are un-
willing to favor any measure decreasing
the representation Of their respective
states.
Mr. Crumpacker was in some doubt
whether to Introduce the bill he put in
today, or to offer one fixing the member
ship at 391. A bill with this total would
result in a net loss Of thirteen seats to
states which decreased In population dur
ing the last ten years.
