Der of flies about but the effect Is here already neyertheless,
 Besides this the example that Is nov set is an excellent one and apoth- CT year the contest can be started earlier in the season and before the opportunity for them to multiply has been given as was the case this year. | It seems a small matter at first thought but is one of the biggest that has ever been undertaken here and is likely to mean the saving of many human lives and ,still more cases oi serious illness
 It is the little things that count and flies are little things, but the figures at the head Of this column show how quickls they can count up for they total 3SSl0Q.
 Two suggestions to obtain results are made to aid tue contestants ob- tained from experience in other con tests One is to make home made traps and place them about in stores, each contestant having his own fly route Sucb traps can readily be made from wire mosquito netting, cone shaped and with a funnel at the top for the entrance, can be tackled to a piece of wood for base, in the trap can be placed a saucer of sweetensd water to attract the prey.
 Another method is to place in a fly infested room saucer containing | Iformaldehyde and water with an Is
 land of bread in the center. This will kill the insects and they will fall fclose by it when they can be swept up
 The winning score at San Antonio
 was made by q fourteen year old boy who worked sn restaurant and | he killed ali of the 443.000 that made his score in the restaurant where he
 worked and caught them in traps. Dr. Miner states that yesterday aft. ternoon it afforded him great pleas ure to see 33S,000 flies go up in smoke
 for he burned them after the count was ended.
 Packages should be left at Ball and Bledsoe's pharmacy @hence they are taken up by. the committee And Hhe
 warning as to packing them wet must
 be needed since the work of measuring
 is unpleasant at best and is made worse when such condition exists.

More than a third of a million flies This is the mortality reported In the crusade against the deadly germ bear CT before it has been in progress more than half a week. Something of a record this and a credit to the young people in the Warren district. And this is only the beginning.
 San Antonio has just finished a ''fly swatting" contest similar to that which has been iinaugurated here. she news of the result was thought important enough to send out to the country through the Associated Press There the children killed 3.l57 .955 flies and if the present record is kept up Bisbee will approach the San Antonio record before September since three and a half weeks remain in this contest.
 Should the present rate of fly swat. ting continue for the remaining days Of this crusade the total in Bisbee would be above two million and three quarter and the difference in the mum. Der of entries and in the population of the two places makes the showing the more favorable to Bisbee,
 II IS pEODdbIS thetl at Ardct- ANt OA the contestants have deprived them selves of some credit in their count The method employed in tallying here is to measure up the flies dry. 1600 being the approximate count to each gill of flies. Two of the contestants put wet flies into boxes. They had either been killed in fly trap and scafded or had been wet in some other way In consequence the contents of those two boxes were packed and matted down and the result was an inevitable loss of count.
 The committee insists that wet flies must not be sent in hereafter and if they should be, and should also be counted the contestant loses in the count accordingly just as was the case in instance which may have made a difference of thousands and eer. tainly a change of hundreds.
 And still the fly swatting goes on No abatement of interest was shown yesterday and it is expected that a count equal or nearly equal to that of yesterday will result today. Ii will take time for this crusade to have an apparent effect on the nun

MINE BUREAU
 FOR DISTRICT
 NOW PLANNED
Erroneous Impression that Big Companies Own All Claims to Be
 Corrected

It Is proposed to list all Of the mining claims Of the, Warren district that are not held by the big mining comPanies. together with the, amount of work that has been done on each. The object of the plan is to counter act the idea that prevails generally outside of the district and to a large extent at home that all or practically ali of the mining claims hereabouts have been taken up by large compan- ies aud that the development of oth- CT mines lies with such companies and with them alone. This is not the case to the extent that is suppos- ed and there are numerous claims, some patented and others only un- dergoing annual assessment work that are awaiting development, await ing the influx of capital, for that purpose.
 Since the panic of 19O7,- there has been little demand for copper proper ties. Investors were chary of enter ing any mining field and gold propo- sitions seemed to be practically the only one to attract. But copper has come back. The prevailing price and a growing belief that this price is destined to remain for a long time to come is gradually reviying interest in copper mining and investors are once more turning their attention to copper mines and mining.
 A few days since one of the own CTS of two groups of claims to the west of the city and adjoining Copper Queen properties to the west called on Secretary Gray of the Commercial club relative to attracting attention to these groups on which assessment work has been continued annually since the panic. Inquiry brought nu- merous others to light and also the fact that such claims had never been properly tabulated and listed at a point where investment seekers would have easy access to them.
 Further inquiry brought forth the facts that while the public generally knows of the wealth of the Bisbee mines the impression prevails that the mineralized lands have all been aken up by a few companies and there is no opportunity for invest ment for development purposes out side of such companies.
 Following this investigation came the plan of Secretary Gray to list all properties and have a bureau of in- formation on the subject for visitors together with a campaign of publici- ty to disabuse the public of the pres

ANACOSTIA D. C., SEPT. II


The Minnesota Avenue Improvement
Association has been added to the civic
bodies representing different sections
of the Anacostia district. Organised
last evening in the home Of Ed
ward f. Wood, of Minnesota avenue,
formal notice of the existence of the
new organization was served today on
the Commissioners of the District.
William Scantlebury, jr., was named to
perform this duty and to entghten the
municipal authorities on the purposes
and aims of the association.
The new body desires to cooperate
with all the other associations south OF
the Anacostia river as far as possible.
It will devote its efforts principally
TO that section of Anacostia lying be-
tween Good Hope road and the German
Orphan Asylum and between Good
Hope road and Pennsylvania avenue
extended. This territory, as pointed
out by Chairman Havenner. seems not
to be plated in any of the other asso-
Citations districts.
Several members brought up the aues-
tion of the admission Of women to the
association. DR.. Havenner said he had
been asked to issue the call for the
meeting by q number of women In the
community. There was a discussion as
to whether they ought to be admitted
as active members or as an auxiliary
body. When the meeting adjourned 1t
was with the idea that this question
will be settled at the next gathering.
Edwin O. Lfnger was made temporary
secretary, and after the preliminary an.
nouncements had been made commit
tees were named as follows: Constitu.

Former City Marshal of

Charges Against Mills.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 10.-Sensationai
charges that the dynamite planting
during the Lawrence strike was only an
incident in a deep laid plot to discredit
unionism generally. made to the grand
jury by former City Marshal Osullivan,
of Lawrence, were investigated today.
District Attorney Pelletier called be-
fore the grand jury Mayor Scanlon.
Commissioner of Public Safety Lynch,
who prevented the children of the strik-
ers from leaving town, and James
Bailey, an official of the American
Wool Mills Company.
All were asked point-blank why, after
O'Sullivan had declared he and his men
could easily preserve order, they had
compelled the calling out OF the militia.
O'Sullivan told the jury in plain terms
that the real cause of all OF the Law
renee trouble was the desire OF the city
officials and mill owners to incite the
strikers to disorder. so that they would
be discredited. When he refused to per-
NIT the police to do this. he asserted, he
