ton, would enter the Senatorial race in

Friends Of Mr.. Pinchot say he is seri-
ously considering the advisability of rum

Representative Clyde Kelley, Progress
sive member of the House. has been a re-
ceptive candidate for the Penrose toga,
along with Vance Mccormick. Democrat,
of Harrisburg. Mr.. Kelley has been for
mally indorsed by five Pennsylvania
counties, and Is understood to be ready TO

Kelley has also been mastering strength
In other counties, which, II is supposed,
would fall into line for the ex-Chief For

FLIES INDICTED AGAIN
Guilty of Carrying Typhoid,
Russian Physician Finds.

Another indictment OF the fly Is drawn
by the editor of THE New York Medical
Journal" who now accuses the little pest
of carrying typhoid fever about promiscu-
ously.
when all the evidence shall have been
garnered the domestic fly will appear as
the greatest offender known to the sani-
tarian." says the medical editor. mot
only is this pest a mechanical carrier OF
infection, but, as shown by recent expert
ments performed by V. Ph. Berezor at
the Institute of Experimental Medicine In
st. Petersburg. II harbors pathogenic bac-
terra In the interior Of its body for long
periods. In the early spring. when the
flies awake from their winter sleep, he
fed a number OF flies on cultures OF
pathogenic bacteria, the typhoid bacillus,
the para-typhoid. the pyocyaneus, strep-
tococci, diphthera bacillus and the chol-
era bacillus. In the course of a week the
flies, having laid their eggs. died. The
dead flies were then allowed to remain
for a month or more and then treated in
the same manner as the alternating flies.
In each case a pure culture Of the organ
ism on which the fly was fed was OBJ
tained, with the exception of the diph-
iberia bacillus the para-typhod A and the
cholera bacillus. These experiments prove
Il at the fly may act as a splendid incu-
bEtor for pathogenic bacteria, retaining
them in a living stat" for months. 1t
would seem that the usual method OF
swatting the fly is not free from danger,
as the bacteria in the intestines may thus
become liberated. Dead fieA should either
be washed down into sewer or else
cremated, the latter being probably the
preferable method"

With the greatest possible composure.
The shoes were Immediately sent to the
white House. and 1t is doubtful If a
messenger ever made better time. Q
Among the other important things
which happened was the announcement.
which came from the White House in

sxpected. 10 the effect that the officers
NJ the army and navy who were to at
tend the wedding would wear full dress
uniforms while the diplomats. who were
10 view the wedding as a private and not
an official event, were to wear afternoon
dress. This matter had been on the
minds OF the public to a considerable ex-
tent though II could not be said that the
diplomats themselves had worried much,
and a long sigh OF relief went up when
,ust plain clothes was the verdict.
Another thing which had been cause
OF good deal Of public agitation was
also settled-whether or not there were
10 be military and naval aids at the
White House for the wedding. 1t was
predicted that Mr.. Wilson would do away
with the institution which Mr.. Roosevelt
augmented by the appointment of more
aids for the White House than were ever
before dreamed of.
The aids stay. and the list reads: Colo
mel W, W. Harts, L. S. A., chief Of the
Public Buildings and Grounds, who will
act as chief aid; Captain Needham l..
