bell boy, held in the city jail on a
charge of taking $50 in money orders
from the mail he carried to the hotel,
was served with a state warrant to-
day and will be taken into custody by
the county.
The charge brought is one of forg-
cry. He has confessed to forging the
endorsement of L. Beck on the money
orders and the complaint was brought
on the $50 order. The money was sent
by. American Express to L. Beck, a
guest at the National, by his New
York company, A. Silberstein.

prosecute Baird inasmuch as the de-
partment had delivered the letter to

New York World: The city will
not be disturbed the coming summer
by saltwater mosquitoes from New
Jersey, according to William Delaney,
commissioner for the determination
! of, Mosquitoes in Hudson county.
The wonderful work being done un-
der his direction in the Hackensack
Meadows promises, in fact, to wipe
out entirely that great breeding
place for the pest besides retaining
thousands Of acres Of valuable land.
Commissioner Delaney yesterday
told a World reporter Of the efforts
OF the New Jersey authorities and
Hudson county officials to wipe the
mosquito out Of existence. In 1904
the State Legislature set aside $780,
900 for the determination, principally
OF salt water mosquitoes, to be spent
in sums Of about $4,000 a year.
Most Of this money has been spent
along the shore counties. In the last
year 100 miles of bitches have been
dug in Cumberland county alone.
The methods employed of Kidding
New Jersey Of it's notorious mosquito
were devised by State Entomologist
John B. Smith, at Rutgers College,
the State Experimental Station. It
consists of draining the marsh land
by means of bitches thirty inches
deep and ten inches wide. These
bitches run parallel and are $50 feet
apart. By means OF these bitches the
marsh land is drained by the rise
and fall Of tide. Fresh water pools
which may not be drained or cannot
be filled in, are covered with oil.
These methods have now been
adopted by all foreign governments,
who have come to realize that the
mosquito, besides being obnoxious, is
menace to health. The bitches are
dug thirty inches deep in order 10
get below the vegetable growth.
Unless this is done marsh vegetation
quickly springS up and the work is
of no avail.
He's a Real Mosquito Killer.
The state Of New Jersey has the
distinction or having the foremost
mosquito contractor in the world. He
is the mayor Of Monmouth and is a
professional exterminator of mosqui-
toes. Manahan has had a force of
men at work on the Hackensack
meadows ranging from eight to thirty
during the last few weeks.
at is necessary for human comfort
to-, wipe out the mosquito" said
Commissioner Delaney. Here in
Jersey City the people are agitating
public parks. Public parks are used
almost entirely by poor people and
the laboring classes, who must Of
necessity obtain their recreation at
night. What is the use OF providing
park when those who use it are
going to be eaten up by mosquitoes7

promised to do the same this year.
No" for the House Fly.
THE special efforts of the men on.
gagged in the work have been directed
to the determination Of the salt
water mosquito. That done, the ex-
termination Of the so-called mosquito
would be a simple proposition. The
salt marsh mosquito, that, species
with which this country has been so
long afflicted, is a migratory insect
and has been found inland forty
miles from its habitation. It fol-
lows, therefore, that the insect bred
In Essex or Union country or in Sta
ten Island might easily infest Hud-
son county.
"A movement is Dow on foot to
form an organization composed OF
the men in charge Of county and
state work, such organization to hold
state meetings, at which meetings re-
ports will be submitted describing
the exact conditions existing in the
different territories and the good or
bad effects OF such conditions both
as to local and to other localities.
These reports will be published and
will enable the people to place the
responsibility where it belongs. They
will also stimulate to better action
those who in the past have been in
different as to this very important
work
"The state Of New Jersey, while It
is not by any means the worst af-
flicted by the mosquito pest, is far
and away ahead of any other state
in the movement to exterminate the
insect. The state is spending annu-
ally and very judiciously, under the
supervision of Professor Smith, about
$4,000 in the work, and by such
work is adding millions of dollars
to the value of real estate.
"The determination of the mos
quito is not guesswork. It is a we'll
understood and practicable PROPOSE
ton. It can and will be done, be-
cause the time will come, and 1t is
not far distant, when the people
will demand not only the suppression
of the mosquito but the house fly as
we'll and the cost will not be consid-
cred an obstacle"
