 Byrnes to Head Steamship Lines.
 If was also stated today by close friends of Timothy E. Byrnes, former vice president of the New Haven that MT. Byrnes would be the head of the steamship lines now maintained 5y the railroad com pany. The steamship service, it was stated, is to be entirely reorganized and the department ad ministered as independently of the road as possible, the plan being to have it operated like the Boston ind Maine railroad, a subsidiary of the New Ba- ven.
 Reorganization Well Under Way.
 Since it was announced recently that Vice President Byrnes would leave the New Haven road there has been much speculation as to what he would do. It was said that the fact that the position would permit him to live in Boston influenced him to become the head of the steamship lines.
 It is also stated that the reOrganiza- ton of the marine department of the New Haven is we'll under way and will be carried out substantially as recommended by the Interstate Com merce Commission.

 mittee of Intervention.

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-The members of the chamber of deputies belonging to what is known as the reform group, who favor some plan for getting the government and the rebels together with a view to settling the trouble in the republic, discussed the situation to- day and named 8 committee of inter vention which will endeavor to place the suggestions of the deputies before President Huerta.

Henry Lane Will son, was morally responsible for ths deaths of President Madero and Vice President Suarez.
 A persistent rumor here is to the ef- feet that as a basis for peace forces are at work to induce President Huerta to resign in favor of a man acceptable to both sides and who later will call an election. The runor is without con- f1rmation.

INVASION OF STATE BY
 THE BROWNTAIL MOTHS.
State EntoTnoIogist Secures Numerous
 Specimens of Them.

New Haven, Conn. Aug 1-Swarms of small browntail moths came down upon this city and Water bury last night. State Ento- mologist, w. E. Britton of the Connec- ticut Experiment Station here got specimens today and he identified the visitor as the spruce moth which is common in eastern Canada and north ern New York state Large swarns are often carried long distances by the wind. This is probably the case with the visitant to this state. The moth is very destructive to spruce trees and balsam fir but as there are few trees of those varieties hereabouts the moths are hardly likely to bring harm.
 The moth lays eggs on spruces but if laid on other trees they do not live Occasionally the caterpillar of the moth is found upon spruce used for garden ornanlentation. Last year the experiment station at Orono, Me. is- sued a bulletin on the moth and 1t mentioned a newspaper story to the ef- feet that fast summer visitation of this moth at Philadelphia was se large that the moths settling on a rail- road track stopped train.
