One hundred and ten trilion seven hun
dred billion is the number of flies esti-
mated by DR.. Murray that will be pre-
vented from coming into existence this
summer as a result of The Stars anti
fly campaign for May.
DR.. Murray yesterday prepared statis-
tics. based on the outcome OF the CAM
paign, which are expected TO attract the
attention of municipal health officials the
country over. The campaign brought
about the slaughter of J03. .33s of the dis
ease-carrying insects and. on the assump-
tion that half of the flies were females.

Terms of Senators.

The second Tuesday OF January at noon
would constitute the commencement and
termination of the terms OF senators
and representatives under the amend

Representative Henry's proposition also
provides that the Congress In existence
when the members of the first House of
Representatives. are elected after the rati-
ication of the proposed constitutional
amendment for the change of date shall
hold no annual session after such elec-
tion and that its term shall expire on the
second Tuesday of the January immedi-

terms would otherwise expire on March
4 would continue III Office until their sue

assemble on the second Tuesday in Janu-

DR.. l. o. Howard of the bureau OF
entomology author of The House Fly
and Disease is preparing to issue a new
edition of the book and has requested Or.
Murray to supply him with any interest
ing facts which the campaign may de-
velop. 1t was with the object of meeting
this request that the above statistics were
prepared.
Referring to the accomplishments of
the campaign, DIR. Murray last night
said:
stroyed as "A result OF the first month
of the campaign for a hyless city.
This showing, considering the cool
weather experienced during the first
half of the month. is very creditable.
Possibly other factors besides wealth
er conditions have contributed to cut
IlnS DOWN the carry SSdSoH popu-
lation. such as the elimination OF
many breeding places effected during
the recent clean city campaign.
Basis of the Figures.
Although the immediate benefits OF
the past months crusade against the
fly will be but little noticed, owing to
the unusual scarcity Of flies for this
period Of the year, the resulting effect
on the population for the rest OF the
season can best be judged by the fol-
lowing conservative estimates:
Assuming that the sexes of the f1ies
turned in during the contest We're
equally divided, more than 100000 female
flies were destroyed. The succeeding
generations of these 100000 females.
based on the estimate that only one
seventh of the eggs laid by the de-
scendants OF these early season In
sects would mature, will be reduced
by 110, 700, ,000. 100000 flies that other
wise would have developed,

May Waive Fight on Root.

AS a part of this plan the Roosevelt
delegates in every part of the country
will be canvassed as to their views on
the temporary craftsmanship. that har-
monious agreement may be reached. AL
though Col. Roosevelt had decided to op-
pose the selection of Senator Root and
had asked Gov. Ha..ey of Missouri to be
his candidate for the place, he indicated
today that he would waive his objections
if it seemed wiser to his supporters to
reserve their fire for the more important
contests.
Whether Col. Roosevelt will go to Chi
cago to lead the fight in person is now
an open question The colonel virtually
served notice on his opponents that under
certain circumstances he might go. He
said he did not intend to go unless some
grave emergency in the shape of unfair
play should arise
If there is unfair play I may show up =

As he squared away before the wind,
the great plane checked it's course. fiut-
tered second like wounded bird and
plunged below the line of trees.
1t is thought by Parmalee's mechan-
icians that a sudden gust from one of
the draws or small cannons that notch
the sides of the valley struck the
machine and rendered the elevating
planes unmanageable.
The body Of the aviator was dragged
from beneath the wreckage of the
machine by farmers who were working
in the orchard. His skull was fractured,
and he must have died instantly.
Before he prepared for his last flight
Parmalee was urged to postpone the ex-
hibition, at least until the wind quieted.
but he laughed at the persistent and
fatal misfortune that had dogged ayia-
tors for the last week and climbed TO his
seat.
J. Clifford Turpin is expected to arrive
from Seattle tonight to take charge OF
Parmalee'S body.
The bip,ane was so crushed that
mechanicians were unable to trace def
nitely the cause OF its fall.

Disturbed at Closing of Mines.

State Department officials are disturbed
at the impending closing of the big mines
at Daiquiri. which would throw about
800 men out of work. These unemployed
laborers might easily be drawn into the
revolutionary ranks. 1t is also appre-
hended that a corresponding number of
skilled workmen may be affected in the
steel works in this country which derive
their ore from the Cuban mines.
The Cuban minister, Senor Rivero,
called at the State Department yester-
day to secure permission for the pur-
chase of 10000 stands of rifles to arm the
volunteer corps now being raised in
Cuba by the government and to enable
the plantation owners to arm their en-
ployes and organize into guards to pro-
tect their property against pillage by the
Insurgents. The request probably will
be granted and the War Department viii
have an opportunity to advantage geously
dispose of quantity of the discarded
krag-Jorgensen rifles. Some of these
weapons were sent to Cuba about two
years ago.

Was Pupil Of Wright.

Parmalee was twenty-seven years old.
He was born in Michigan and graduated
from the State University at Ann Arbor.
His parents are wealthy holders of farm
ing tracts, and when their son decided to
take up aviation as a profession they op-
posed his plan with fears that are now
justified. Nevertheless he insisted, for,
travelling in Ohio as trouble adjuster for
an automobile concern. he had found Will
bur Wright in his aeroplane shop and the
two had become fast friends.
Wright took a great liking for the boy
But Parmalee did not learn to run a
biplane until about two years ago.
His progress was remarkable and he
made speciality of endurance tests. He
proved the military value Of the aero
plane by flying from Eagle Pass to Lare-
do. Tex. with a passenger and a full
military equipment.
Harmalee was regarded by experts as
1.-The safest OF American aviators, as
we'll as the most successful financially of
those employed by the Wrights He was
said to have earned $4,000 for the
Wright brothers during 19ll and he quit
their employ a few week ago.
In Chicago, last August. Parmalee es-
tablished worlds altitude record, flying
to height of 1O.600 feet, but the record
was broken on the next day by Lincoln

Want Hearings Public.

Two other points were agreed upon
Every effort is to be made to have the
hearings before the national committee
to settle contests for seats held publicly
And the Roosevelt supporters will fight
to obtain what they deem an equitable
distribution of convention tickets. Col
Roosevelt said he had been told that
some of his delegates felt that the action
of the national committee indicated a
deliberate purpose to use 10000 or 1900
tickets to stuff the gallery with shouterS,
who will try by clamor to overawe the
convention.
The men who conferred with Col.
Roosevelt today in regard to these plans
the Roosevelt delegates from
Illinois, Maine and North Carolina. Sem
ator Dixon, Col. Roosevelts campaign
manager, is expected here shortly to go
over the program The Illinois delega-
tion numbered fourteen and was piloted
by Alexander II. Revell of Chicago,

Colonel Approves Plan.

ecutive committee in every state was
presented by the Illinois delegation. 1t
met with the enthusiastic approval OF
the former President.
II heatily approve Of it, he said. Il
think 1t is a splendid thing" Regarding
the result of the days conference the
colonel said:
Il have written to Gov. Hadley in re-
gard to the temporary Craftsmanship. but
nothing denite has been decided about
that. The Illinois and Maine delegates
who visited me today did not think that
the temporary chairmanship Is essential.
I want to hear from the delegates
throughout the country before commit
ting myself finally.
THE delegates whom have seen today
consider the matter Of the temporary
Craftsmanship as unimportant. They took
the ground that whatever the temporary
chairman said would represent only his
own opinion and the opinion Of the ma
tional committee. and in no way the
opinions of the convention, and their be-
lief was that no issue should be made
about the temporary Craftsmanship.
Il said that l would carefully consider
all that they had said and would be very
glad to hear from any others.
Gallery Stufing Scented.
Both the Illinois and the Maine men
also protested about the matter of the
distribution of tickets to the convention.
saying that their delegations had been al
lowed only a very small proportion of the
tickets hitherto allotted to them and that
they felt that this indicated a deliberate
purpose on the part of the national COM
mittee to use ten or twelve thousand tick
cts to stuff the gallery with shouters who
will try by clamor to overawe the con-
vention.
They also made to me a point with
which l heartily agree that the hearings
on the contested election of delegates
should be open to the press. All that
we are striving for Is an absolutely hon.
est decision in the contested delegates
cases There can be no objection to
the hearings being held publicly II there
is a real determination to decide each
contest directly on it's merits
