the tussock moths and web worms
which have made a savage attack on
Washington's foliage trees this sum
mer. District officials today announced
that not only will trees on streets and
parkings be sprayed. but those on pri-
vate property as we'll.
Under direction of Truman Lanham,
superintendent of the department OF
trees and parkings. a systematic cam
paign for the determination OF the
parasites has begun. empower
spraying machines are now being used
in the section between North Capitol
street and Rock Creek Park and Penn
sylvania and Florida avenues.
Plan Systematic Campaign.
1t is planned to wage the campaign
Systematically. taking one section OF
the city at a time. The northeast sec
ton has been gone over and the entire
District will eventually be covered
The spraying solution used is made by
mixing forty pounds of arsenate OF
lead with 400 gallons Of water.
Washingtonians are urged to make
immediate attempts to protect trees on
private property instead of waiting Tor
the work to be done by the District
mula used by the local authorities is
recommended as the most effective one.
During May the city's elms and Amer
lean lindens were sprayed. and as a
result these trees have been bothered
but little by the tussock moths and
their attentions at present largely to
silver naples and oriental planes.

FEW DEATHS ON FOURTH.
Increasing Safe and Sane Move
ment Reduces Number of Accidents

CHICAGO July 6.-Statistics compiled
show that the country enjoyed the quiet
est Fourth OF July in its history
The figures are:
Dead. 10; by fireworks. 9; by gun pow
der. a. by torpedoes. 2; by revolver, 1.
Injured, 243. by fireworks, 1O5: by gun
powder. 80: by torpedoes, 5; by toy pis-
tolls. IS; by cannon. Al; by runaways, 4.
The accidents last year were 80 dead
and 1,13l injured. The record this year,
due to the increasing sane Fourth"
movement thus far is less than half Of
the previous year and shows but small
proportion of the accidents of a few
years ago. when the use of fireworks was
unrestricted.
The property loss so far reported was
trivial. as compared with $123. 900 last
year.
There were fewer deaths in the cele-
brations Saturday than in any of the six
teen years that records of the tolls have
been kept, with the exception of 1890,
when only three lives were lost. But in
that year the injured was reported as
l.O74, or three times that Of Saturday.

his story. Sheriff Petit quickly went to
the scene of the shooting in high-pow-

posse. At midnight an automobile full
of detectives and policemen went to the
scene and other detectives were rushed
off to the nearby towns of Baldwin.
Rockville Center and Lynnbrook to hunt
for the man on a bicycle described by
DR.. Carman.
Significant Theory.
The authorities placed special signia-
canoe on the fact that the would-be as
sassin was said to have been on a BIZ
cycle. During the night following the
murder Of Mrs. Bailey. when hloodhounds
were used. they circled the Carman house
once and then started off down the road
on which Dr. Carman was returning
home last night The detective In charge
of the hounds at that time said they
had much difficulty in following the
scent. and expressed the belief that the
person they were following was riding
a bicycle.
A police official suggested the posi-
biity that DR.. Carman might have been
mistaken in believing he was the object
OF murderous attack. DR.. Carman.
however. was positive in his statements.
and Gaden. his companion. confirmed the
story.
An Alleged Conspiracy.
Detectives working on the case de-
clared last night that one OF their num-
Der had discovered a clue which led him
to believe the murder of Mrs. Bailey
was the result OF a conspiracy Matched
by three women living in nearby vil-
lage. The motive. the detective said. was
revenge.
This clue. the detective said. indicated
that the assassin was trying to kill the
doctor and shot Mrs. Bailey by mistake.
The body of Mrs. Bailey was buried
yesterday in the family plot in Green
field cemetery. near her home in Hemp
stead.
