100000 Flies Killed In One Town In One
Day

In the April Woman's Home Compan-
ion there is an interesting discussion
of the problem, Getting Rid of the House
Fly" There are a number of practical
suggestions and a number of reports
OF the campaign already made against
the fly. Following is report from an
Ohio town:
early in July. 1911. the newspaper
in our village tackled the fly problem
for this community. At the outset it
was announced that on a certain day the
citizens would be asked to cooperate
with this paper in 'swatting the fly.'
local clothing concern co-operated to
the extent of distributing without any
charge wire fly 'swatters,' and on the
day appointed. three thousand of them
had been distributed.
"Boys and girls were encouraged to
assist in Kidding the community of flies
BY the Offering of prizes on the part of
this concern, and when the day had
come and gone more than one hundred
thousand flies had been slain in Hamil-
ton
During the days which preceded the
DAY designated. educational articles were
carried by the town paper. The CO.
operation of the city authorities, and
especially the health officer, was secured
fer fly day and efforts were put forth
at that time looking to the permanent
cleaning up of places were flies could
breed. Fly day in Hamilton WAS gem
orally conceded to have been very sue
eessful There was no effort made of
course, to absolutely eXterminate the
fly, because such a result was realized
to be out of the question, but this pa
per had as its aim, simply, to give the
people an idea of how far they could
90 in solving the fly problem if they Al
got together and worked to that ore

against the boy and held him in $1,000

called To the disappointment Of the
curious, however. the hearing was held
in Judge hueskert's private office. None

Washington April 2 Attorneys for
Sidney Henry and others Of New York
filed motion for rehearing in the
supreme court yesterday in the case re.
Gently decided by the supreme court by
a vote Of to 3 involving the right

ton for a rehearing.
The case was that of Henry and 9th
e~s against the A. y. Dick company Of
New York. 1t grew out Of patent

sion. Chief Justice White and Justices
Hughes and Lamar dissented. The ma

LIABILITY BILL COMPLETED.
Most Advanced Step In Labor Legisla-
ton Ever Taken by the Government.


Washington, April 1.-The Sutherland
employers liability and .workmen's COM
pensation bill, substantially as intro
duced, will be reported to the Senate,
in accordance with a vote of the COM
mittee on the judiciary yesterday. This
bill was recommended by commission
consisting of Senator Sutherland OF
Utah, chairman; Senator Chamberlain
Of Oregon, Representatives Moon OF
Pennsylvania. William G. Brown, presi-
dent of the New York Central lines,
and d. J.. Cease, editor of the Railroad
Trainmen.
1t works the most advanced step in
labor legislation ever attempted by the
federal government, for it recognizes
that the old common law rules for the
adjustment of damage claims for in
iuries are inadequate and unfair and
establishes the principle that due com
pensation for such injuries must be ac-
cepted by railroads As part of the cost
OF the business. All compensation un-
der the act is to be paid monthly UNI
less committed to lump sum. In case
of DEATH payments are to be made
monthly for eight years and range from
fifty per cent. of wages received to i
widow and child and ten per cent for
each additional child to fifteen per. cent.
for parents partly dependent. For in,
iuries, the payments are to be made in
proportion to the specific injury, as, fo-
example, in the case of the loss Of an
arm, payments are to continue for sew
enty two months and so on.
The remedy afforded by the proposed
law is exclusive and all existing com
mon law and statutory remedies, as far
rs future cases are concerned, are abol.
ished.
II is likely that the bill win pass.

STRIKE ALARMS CANADA.
Late Winter Exhausts Coal Supply
Prices Already High.

Montreal April 2-The suspension OF
work by the Pennsylvania coal miners
is viewed with the greatest alarm in
eastern Canada, owing to the unusual
lateness of the winter. which shows no
real signs of breaking up in Ontario
and Quebec. Many districts are with
out coal, while cities like Montreal
Toronto. Hamilton and Ottawa can only
struggle along for few weeks before
stocks are exhausted. Already coal has
greatly advanced in price and hard
ships have been endured by the city
poor. In Montreal Sl2 ton is charged
for anthracite, and the news from the
fields yesterday morning raised the price
to Sl5 a ton.

told her.
Chief Mealey. Detective Brunskill

cries to furnish their product to any

I'm your opinion would blind pigging

was answered by the officers in the
affirmative, and Chief Mealey de-
clared the business was encouraged
by the comparative ease with which
beer could be obtained in any guam
tity from most of the companies. All
the officers testified that practically
all the breweries, except the Gluek
company, doing business in Mime
apolis, were represented in goods con-
fscated in raids made by the purity
squad" and other police officers.
Chief Mealey said that four years
ago when the brewing companies
agreed not to furnish beer to resorts
troubled. He said the agreement
did not last long.
Il think every brewing company
represented in the city except the
Gluek company, soon violated the
agreement" said Chief Mealey.
