minated the tick in all except high localities in many counties in Arkan- sas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Of course, the cattle that were concen- trated on the levees or mounds car ried many ticks to those places with them. These ticks have developed on the cattle and their progeny have reinfested the cattle. When these cat tie are returned to the pastures (which are now free from ticks), they will carry many ticks with them and in this manner the pastures will quickly become reinfested. If proper steps are taken by owners of the cattle this reinfestation can be pre- vented to very great extent. The Bureau of Animal Industry of the U. s. Department of Agriculture has been actively cooperating with the authorities of the States concerned in an effort to protect the overflowed areas from reinfestation, and if stock owners take advantage of the present opportunity, tick eradication in the localities in question may be assured at very slight expense. The first thing to be done is to destroy the ticks on the cattle before they return to the pastures. This can be done by greasing the cattle with crude oil or by the use of the we'll known arsenical dip: This step alone will prevent the ereinfestation of the pas lures. Another step should be taken to insure the continued freedom of the pastures from ticks. If the cattle now returned to the pastures are al lowed to visit the places where they have been concentrated on the levees of mounds thy will naturally become infested with the progeny of ticks matched from eggs deposited by in dividuals that were attached when the cattle were taken to the higher places. It is therefore necessary for some time to prevent the cattle from grazing on the areas where they have been concentrated. Experiments per formed by the Bureau of Entomology indicate that seed ticks on the areas where the cattle have been removed. Consequently, such areas should be kept under fence or the cattle other wise prevented from visiting them for four months after the cattle leave. At the end of this period the levees will be entirely free of ticks and the cattle may be. allowed to return to them without danger.
 i It is understood that there may be practical difficulties in applying this advice in some localities but where ever it can be followed it will enable the planters to reduce the infesta- ton by ticks on their places to a very small amount The trouble and expense necessary is inconsiderable
 On account of the great gain to be derived by taking advantage of the very exceptional conditions that have prevailed, it is urged that planters make special effort to combat the tick in the manner described. As has
 been explained, the two steps to be
 taken are, first, the destruction oi the ticks on the cattle when they leave the levees, and second, the pre- vention of reinfestation of the cattle and the starvation of the ticks by
 fencing the areas where they have been concentrated.

In answer TO the demands resulting
from the continued complaints Of viola
tons of the law from every State in the
Union- the Interstate Commerce Conn
mission, through its chairman. Charles
A. Prouty, and concurTed in by the sIx
other commissioners, yesterday issued an
executive order providing for a rigid in
YeSugation by the commission into the
alleged abuse Of passes, franks, and free
services by the railroads of the country,
An explanatory clause attached to the
order states that the commission has rea-
sons to suspect Judging from the re-
ports received from every section OF the
country, that the provisions of the ortRi-
nal act Of Congress of February 4. lSS7.
to regulate commerce and supplementary
acts are being violated by many carriers
consequently the commission deems that
1t Is Its duty TO inaugurate a formal
probe into the giving of privileges by
the railroads in an effort to ascertain
the authenticity Of the charges
The taking Of testimony and depositIons
will commence shortly in every State in
the Union. 1t will take many months
to complete the gathering Of evidence,
which must be done before any formal
hearing can be allowed the carriers. AS
the probe will be nationwide, the task
before the commission is a most ex-
haustive one. and will necessItate the
sending of special examiners and other
agents of the commission into every sec
ton of the country. The final report of
the commission may not be arrived at
for perhaps year.

Intruder Fells Her, Threatens Her
Life, and Flees Empty
handed.

Routed from a closet in the home of
Lieut.. r. B. Stanton. OF No. 5 Engine Com
pany, 1OO7 Twenty-fouTth street northwest
yesterday morning, a burglar turned on
Eliza Alexader,a Colored maid servant and
beat her with his fists. threatening her
life if she made on outcry. The intruder,
whom the maid thinks was a colored
man. ran to the front door and made
his escape. This is the second case OF
the kind reported within a week.
It is the opinion of the police that the
man gained entrance TO the house by
The front door, which was unlocked. It
was probably his intention to remain in
the closet until an opportunity offered to
ransack the house. The servant went to
the closet shortly after 10 o'clock to get
an article OF clothing. She was alarmed
when she saw the form Of a man. The
Intruder felled her with a blow, and
IS hc made his way through the house
lsred her to make an ou,cry. Examina-
tion disclosed that nothing had been

BISHOP CONFERS
WITH YESTRYMEN
No Definite Action in Bitter Dis.
pute Over Use of Hall by
Boys Brigade.

The bitter dispute between the vestry
and membership Of Christ Protestant
Episcopal Church over the use OF the
parish hall. 60 G street southeast, by
the Boys Brigade will soon be brought
TO an end as the result OF a conference
last night between Bishop Alfred Hard
ing and the vestrymen at the residence
Of the bishop. Bishop Harding. after
hearing the details OF the factional fight.
declined TO hke any definite action. but
urged the Yestrymen to bring about a
settlement at once.
The question OF the validity Of the vote
at the December meeting Of the yestry.
at which Frederick NJ Kerby, COM
mandant OF Company F, the Boys Brig
ade company at the church, was dis
missed, was discussed at length At the
December meeting there were five yes
trymen and the rector, Rev. Arthur S.
Johns. present Two were I'm favor OF
the dismissal OF the commandant and
three vestrymen were opposed to the
proposition. DR.. Johns voted, caused a
tie, and then cast another vote on the
ground that a presiding officer has the
right TO vote In case OF a tie. AS a
result OF the vote Mr.. Kerby was dis
missed.
Bishop Harding agreed with Vestry-
man James +. Hutchinson and his col
legUes that the vote was improper. The
vestry probably will rescind its illegal
action at the next meeting. The ques-
tion OF the future use of the parish
house by the company was discussed. but
the conclusion reached Is being kept Sc
cret. The entire vestry was bound by
the bishop TO secrecy with respect TO
the proceedings OF the conference.
Besides Bishop Harding, the following
vestrymen were present at the confer
ence: James Z. Hutchinson, John e.
Schroeder, II. Caywood. Lewis 3. Taylor,
Samuel HRrvin. James Berry, NJ. Hyn-
son. and John Cetar.
Despite the fact that the Boys Bri-
gade company has been denied the use
of the parish hall, the regular meeting
OF the company was held last night in
a neighboring hall. The dispute ori-
ginated last summer. when the boys
left the parish hall IN an unsightly
condition. following a dinner and cele-
bration of victory on the competitive
field. The wife Of the rector Instructed
the sexton not TO clean up the hall, and
the fight was Immediately precipitated.
DR.. Johns has been extremely ill
since December. At the conference
last night, IL was decided to give the
rector an eight months leave OF alb
sence for the purpose of recuperating.
a substitute rector will be appointed
within several days.
