PROTESTS AGAINST FLIES
Well Known Educator Finds Railroad
Restaurant Swarming with Them.

Albany. Aug. Pa complaint was filed
with the Public Service Commission to-
day by a well-known New York State edu-
Gator, protesting against swarms of nies
he found In one OF the large trunk line
railroad restaurants. He says that the
railroad in question Is not running its
trains with horses or keeping stables
where flies might naturally breed, but
conditions are due 10 the indifference Of
employees either in leaving street doors
open or carelessness In taking care OF
kitchen refuse"
The complaint suggests that tho at
tention of the railroad people be called to
the fact that II they make application to
the state entomologist advice win be
given for the elimination OF dies which
viii be explicit and effectual," and states
that within the next year Il Is hoped
that legislation will be enacted which Will
make the existence OF such conditions as
he has described a statutory misde-
meanor.

PREPARING TO USE CANAL
Europeans Believe Treaty Was
Violated, Says John Barrett.

Boston. Aug. 2S.--"While European
countries are unanimous in expressing
the belief that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
/ has been disregarded. they will not re-
lax in their efforts 10 make use of the

rector general of the Pan-American n
Union. commenting on the passage Of
the recent Panama Canal bin as he
stepped ashore fro. the steamer Fran

has been abroad the last few months
making a study Of what Great Britain
and the Continental countries are doing
10 get ready for the Panama Canal and
10 develop their commerce with South
America. Mr.. Barrett said:
The European countries viii 20 ahead,
even under unfaNorable conditions, and
trust 10 new adjustment through either
The Hague court or new legislation at
the next session Of Congress.
one Of the chief influences which has
aroused 50 mucn adverse criticism Of the
bin abroad is that in the opinion OF the
foreign press and people the United
states should appear 10 be going back on
it's solemn word and contract. Another
foreign influence against tie bill has been
a lack of popular knowledge and appre-

Philadelphia, Aug. 2s.-Monsignor Thom-

College at Rome, is about TO receive the
red hat of a cardinal, according to pri-
vate cable messages received here to-day
by Papal count who is supposed to he

OFF FOR M|DDLETOWN
Fifty Boys and Girls Guests OF
Fresh Air Fund.
JUST OUT OF SICKBE0S
Party Back from Pennsylvania
Shows Good Effects OF
Outdoor Life.

Still the tramp. tramp Of the outgoing
Fresh Air hosts keeps up Every day
sees little groups OF youngsters threading
their way through the busy streets
toward the railroad terminals. And every
day the smiles that light up the faces OK
the country Goers are broader and glad
der, for many of those that are sent
away these days had given up hope OF
going as the season dragged along with
out their turn coming round.
Yesterday Middletown was the centre OF
attraction. The sixth party OF the sea-
son was sent 10 The Tribune Home for
Convalescents at that place. There were
fifty boys and girls In the party. making
the total number cared for at this home
800 for the season thus far.
There was no doubt that the fifty needed
the country and all its pure air and good
food could do for them. They were
pale-faced. emaciated lot. all of whom
had Just come through spells OF sickness
or surgical operations that had confined
them TO their beds for weeks.
Some Of the children came from Mount
Sinai Hospital, others from the Wander
bit Clinic, still others from the Brooklyn
Chidren's Aid Society.
Among the members Of the party was
little Italian girl scarcely four years
old She was too young TO know where
she was going or what the purpose OF
her trip was. But the summer had just
missed being too much for her. and her
mother had been persuaded to let her go.
Both mother and child were doubtful
at the last minute whether or not they
would consent to being separated. For a
time Il looked as though they would not,
but finally. after sucking valor from
very diminutive thumb for some time,
Lucy--the child-made friends with one
OF tho Tribune nurses and was hustled
aboard the train before she had time 10
change her mind. When last seen she
was waving hand TO the weeping mother
as the train pulled out Of the Erie sta
tion.
Another member OF the party was
boy, little shaver OF five years whom
a distorted idea OF the conventionalities
had caused TO be clad entirely in black
mourning for father who had died
few days ago The lad himself had been
III for weeks, and the contrast between
the Uallor OF HIS cheeks and the black
ness OF his mourning garb was ghastly.
No mother came TO see him on-she was
hard at work earning a meagre living for
four other children left at home.
There was a Joyous sound in the Penn
sylvanla station last evening when the
Harrisburg Limited rolled Ia with two
coach loads of Tribune Fresh Airs who
had been spending two weeks down In
the Cumberland Valley. From their APP
pearance II might be judged that old Sol
had been dOlng his best down In that re-
g!on lately. and from various bulgng
bags and bursting boxes Il might have
been gathered that Pennsylvania hosts
are not nggardly with apples and other
products OF the farm and orchard.
