Filtration Plans Submitted.

Plans and figures for the erection
and maintenance Of the proposed fiji
tration plant here were submitted by
Johnson & Fuller, consulting engi-
neers of New York City, at the meet
ing of the City Commission. The cost
Of construction of the plant, according
to the plans will be $07, 708 and the
annual expense of operation $66, 100.
The report of the engineers was pre-
sented by Commissioner Fell, and
after receiving the document there
was some discussion. Members of the
commission, accompanied by Engineer
Johnson, will visit Harrisburg or Lit
tie Falls, for the purpose of viewing in
practical operation a plant similar to
the one called for by the plans before
advise mechanical filtration works wit
with a capacity of 10000, 900 gallons
daily, the plant to be located on the
river bank just north of Calhoun St.
The sum of $407, 70S includes the en-
tire cost of getting the plant ready
for operation, but does not cover what
outlay the city may make for land. In
the operating expense is figured an
item of $24,460, the interest on bonds
to be issued to the cost of con-
struction, and the operating cost also
takes an item of $10,405, representing
salaries for employees required to run
the works.

KANSAS EXPERT
TO FIGHT PESTS
Or. HeadIee, State EntomoIogist,
Succeeding Late DR.. Smith.
SAVED MILLIONS IN THE WEST
viii Pay Special Attention to Mos
quito Pest in This State and Will
Also Look After Insects which
Are Menacing Farms.
Special Trenton Correspondence

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Dr. T j. Headlee, State
Entomologist Department at the Kan
sas Agricultural College, has accepted
the call to become State Entomologist
to succeed the late DIR. John B. Smith.
DR.. Headlee will really fill four posi-
lions. He will be Professor of Ento-
mology at Rutgers College, New Bruins
wick; Entomologist of the Agrlcultur-
al College Experiment Station, Ento-
mologist of the State Experiment Sta
ton and State Entomologist under the
State Board of Agriculture. Besides
teaching in the college, he will carry
on investigations concerning insects
with particular reference to prevent
ing the invasion of insects dangerous
to farms and orchards, will supervise
nursery inspection under the law to
prohibit the importation OF diseased
trees, will have general supervision
under the new law for bee inspection
to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases among bees and will continue
the work begun by DR.. Smith for the
determination of mosquitoes. DR..
Headlee is about 35 years old. He
was graduated from the University of
Indiana at Perdue, and then took a
course at Cornell University, where he
won his degree. He then became as
sistant entomologist at the New
Hampshire State Experiment Station
and resigned after two years to &C
cept his position in Kansas. He Crap
pied with two big insect problems in
Kansas in a way which well fitted him
to continue the fight for the extermi-
nation of the mosquito in this state.
Kansas was invaded by the Hessian
fly to the extent that $40, 900, 900 worth
of wheat was destroyed. DR.. Headlee
took up the fight and drove the plague
from the state, saving millions of dol
lars to the farmers. He also solved
the problem of clearing the numerous
large -four mills in Kansas from the
destructive weavers, which caused a
loss of many thousands of dollars an
nually. DR.. Headlee is a native of In
diana and has been connected with
the Kansas Agricultural College since
1907.

An Unjust Insanity Law.


Vice Chancellor Garrison does not
think much of the law which makes it
possible for an interested person"
who can get the signatures of two
qualified physicians, to have a man or
woman committee to an insane asylum
for fifty days. In the case before him,
James M. Allgor, of Seabright, had
been sent to the State Hospital at
Trenton, on the application of a police
man, supported by the affidavits of
two physicians that they believed ALL
gor was insane. Allgor is the man
who built a spite fence on his property
on the Rumson Road, and painted up
on it offensive comments about some
of his neighbors with whom he was
not on friendly terms. He has already
spent a term in Jail for his misbehav-
ior, and an effort is being made to get
him out of the way by combining him in
an asylum-at the county's expense,
of course If the State and county
hospitals for the insane are to care for
all the men and women with vagaries
and Authorizations, and who "act
queer" there will be need for many
more hospitals. They were never in
tended to be used to get rid of objec-
tionable neighbors. But Vice Chancel-
lor Garrison's criticism was of the law
that permits a man to be railroaded
to an asylum for fifteen days while the
commitment papers are being pre-
pared, IAN act of that kind" he said,
would seem to me to %abrogate all
the ideas of liberty we have ever had,
and possibly to encroach upon the con
stitutional rights of our citizens

Rat Population Increasing.

Rats! Yes, rats, the common varie-
ty, have infected the city to an alarm
ing extent, and SO numerous have they
become in some sections that women
are in constant fear. Just where the
rats migrated from is o known, al
though Philadelphia authorities a few
days ago were using every means to
rid that city of the pests. At any rate
hundreds of rats have recently taken
up quarters here and that they have
in many instances become so tame
that it is with difficulty hat they are
scared when discovered. In the west
ern section of the city where the
houses are not so closely built, rats
can be see running about in the
grass. Many housewives have given
up hope of Kidding their dwellings of
the pests by the use of traps, and are
reverting to other means of extermi-
nation. The rat question has been
freely discussed in several sections of
the city and there have been reports
of instances where rats cornered
showed fight and others where the
pests were so bold as to pay nc atten.
ton to the presence of persons.

New York.-A thrifty man is Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker, now in the
Tombs accused of the murder of Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal, for coming
between him and his income.
Above were the deposits that
Charles Becker made in one bank in
ten months.
His salary as a lieutenant of police
was $2,250 a year, or $183.75 a month.
But there are other records supplied
to the District Attorney by bank Off
Gals concerning Lieut.. Becker's pre-
cautions against a rainy day.
There is proof now that while the
graft was good he made these deposits
in four banks:
April, 1912-Lincoln Trust Co.. $1,000
May, 1912-West Side Savings
Bank. ...... 5000
April, 1912-Empire City Savings
.3,0UU
Nov. 1911 to
Aug, 1912-Corn Exchange
5u,ll0
Total .......... S38,1l5
A glance at these records reveals
that while Lieut.. Becker was deposit
ing $4,330 in the Corn Exchange Bank
he was also storing $4,000 in the West
Side Savings Bank and that while he
was putting $4,000 in the Corn Ex-
change Bank he was ~entrusting $1,000
to the Lincoln Trust Company.
And besides these accounts obtain
ed from bank ledgers, the District At
torney, through the intelligent work Of
his assistants, has information that
Lieut.. Becker had at least five other
bank accounts in Manhattan alone
and that Becker's total cash savings
approximate $780, 00.
Becker's money and the use he
made of it was the central feature of
the developments as to the lieuten-
ants part in the blackmailing of law
breakers and in the murder of Rosen-
thai, the blackmailed.
After the District Attorney had got
the records of bank accounts the
Grand Jury heard from Jack Rose and
Bridge Weber that it was Becker's
cash that went to pay the pistol men
who shot down Rosenthal.
Before the murder Becker owed
Weber $500. Less than an hour after
Rosenthal was murdered he told Bird
gle Weber in front of the Murray
Hill Baths, in the presence of Rose
and with Jack Sullivan standing by,
that he hadn't much money with him,
and he ordered Weber to give Rose
or Schepps $1,000 $50 that the boys
could get out of town in a hurry"
He told Weber that he would pay
him the whole $1,000 the next day.
Weber sent Jack Sullivan three
times to get the money from Becker.
Having scrutinized and analysed the
profits of blackmail as exemplifed in
Becker's bank accounts, the District
Attorney examined with much interest
a tabulation he got from William J..
Burns and from eight gamblers as to
the assessments and rates of black
mail-the financial details of the gath
SAAh6 u "HdI ROoS says WdS 9Z,4Uu,-
600 in Manhattan alone.
This tabulation reveals that there
was a complete and systematic slid
Ing scale of collections from big and
little gambling houses and other un.
savory resorts, from stuss and crap
games, from poker rooms, from pool
rooms and ever from the dice throw
ing privilege in saloons and cigar

FREED BUT DENIED TROUSERS.
Mercer Exile GIIdes in Skirts Beloved
from Stone Piles Toll.

Freed from the Mercer County
Workhouse where the toll on the
stone pile made life a weary waste,
but denied trousers and other male at
tire because the Freeholders provide
no clothes for discharged or paroled
prisoners, Virginia Russell, negro, who
was a woman until he grew whiskers
and created CONSERVATION in the wom-
ans wing at the up-river penal lnstltu-
ton, was sent forth into exile clad in
the feminine toggery which he wore
when arrested in Trenton. Virginia
he insisted, even in the face OF the
discovery of his sex, that Virginia Is
his name-was released by direction
of the Freeholders because 1t was
feared that he would become a hospi-
tai charge as male work was under
mining his health. He was told to
make himself scarce so far as Mercer
County is concerned. Exile was b
one condition on which Police Justice
Naar consented to Virginia's release.

1t consisted of a picture hat. flowing
plumes and all, a waist, a skirt, "a
we'll a lot of things that men are sell
dom bothered with except in the way
of paying bills. Virginia was delight
ed with the change. He likes to pose
as a woman and he does it well, 80
well, in fact, that he deceived every
body in Trenton and would doubtless
have done the same at the Workhouse
had not a companion in the female
wing discovered that he needed a
shave. Dressed at last in her, or rath-
er his, gaudy raiment, Virginia glided
through the big doors to liberty, pick
