The consensus OF opinion among the

to the effect that the order would be a

post law under which the Postmaster
General is given authority to change

GOVERNMENT AGENT FAILS
TO LOCATE RATS WHICH
DIE A NATURAL DEATH

An article In the current Public Health
Bulletin. issued yesterday. makes a mys-
terry of the question. What becomes Of
rats which die natural deaths?
The article was prepared by Surg. Vic
tor G.. Heiser, chief quarantine officer of
the Philippine Islands. who had charge
of a rat destroying campaign which has
been conducted in Manila in the past
year. and is based on his observations
In this campaign.
Surg. Heiser estimates that the rat
population OF Manila is about 15O, 600. and
that So die daily.
An investigation made under Dr..
Heiser's supervision showed that no dead
rats are carried TO the public crematory,
where most of the garbage OF the city
is disposed of. The actual results OF his
anti-rodent campaign established that
few rats die in out-of-the-way places: for
his gangs of rat destrOyers, which num-
bered more than 800 men. seldom found
dead rat which had not been poisoned.
although search was made in every i'm
aginable hiding place. Similarly. DIR.
Heiser convinced himself that the rats
do not die in sewers. and that their bodies
are not eaten by other rats.

MESSAGE MAY SOLVE
ALICE CRISPELL CASE
Father of Girl Gets Postal Card from
Man Who Says He
Killed Her.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July aS.-William Cris-
pell, father of Alice Crispell. who was
mysteriously drowned in Harvey's Lake
on the night OF July 4. has received
postal card from New Rochelle. N. Y.
bearing a message which may clear up
the murder for which Herbert Johns, the
girls sweetheart, was freed.
The postal contains the following mes
sage: Bert is innocent i killed Alice
because of her love for Johns. A. N"
The message is plainly written, and
after William Crispell had deceived 1t at
his home in Harvey's Lake. he came at
once to the office Of District Attorney
John H. Bigelow here, and took the mat
ter up with the county detectives. Girls
pell does not believe the postal was mailed
as a joke. He declares he does not be-
lieve that any one would be SO cruel as to
Jest with him over the death Of his daugh'
ter, and he has demanded that the county
authorities take up this new clew and
endeavor to run it down.
County authorities have not worked on
the Crispell case since Herbert Johns
was released. They claim they had run
down every possible clew and were forced
to await developments before giving up
any more time to the case.
