RAILROADS TO BLAME
FOR MOSQUITO PEST
City Entomologist D eclare e S
They Should Have Drained
Meadows to South.

The mosquitoes that have afflicted this
city have been more numerous this year
than ever before because the Pennsyl-
vania and the Schuylkill River East Side
Railroad companies have built embank-
ments across the meadows in South Phil
adelphia without providing proper drain
ago for the sections cut off, according to
City Entomologist Herbert Hornig.
He asserts that the stagnant, mos
quito-breeding water which covers the
land in that section could have been car
ried away by conduts under the tracks
and system OF branch sluices. Mr..
Hornig said that when he went into the
meadows to investigate the situation he
was attacked by a cloud of mosquitoes
so vicious that the blood from the stlngs
covered his face and. running into his
eyes, blinded him.
Mr.. Hornig emphatically declares that
Councils have been woefully negligent in
providing funds with which to combat the
evil, and points out that he has had at
his command only IA laborers to pour oil
on pools and fill swamps and ponds with
earth. To show how vast the task is, he
asserts that 1900 wagon loads of earth
have been dumped in pool at 18th and
Florence streets, where two children were
drowned this summer, and that il was
still deep enough on Tuesday to drown a
horse which fell into it.

TRAP SET FOR ANIMAL
WHICH POISONED CHILD
Family Flees in Dread of Mys-
terious Singer, Which
Eludes All

Traps baited with raw liver were set
today in the home of Henry S. Dooley,
of 1887 South 57th street. to catch the
mysterious spider or scorpion that nearly
caused the death of Dooleys 1l-months-
old son by it's bites The strongest kind
of dismfectants have had no effect on
the mysterious animal or insect and the
trap method is the last resort.
Mrs. Dooley and the baby have gone
to the home Of a relative and will re-
main there until the bag is captured
DR.. Hermann Hornig. the city entomolo-
gist, who spent most of yesterday trying
to drive the bug from it's hiding place
feels sure that 1t is not a tarantula, the
bite of which IS nearly always fatal.
Neighbors of the Dooleys are becoming
terrified by the failure of the city en-
tomologist to kill or capture the mys-
terious creature. The Dooley home is
now swept clear of every bit of food
except that contained in the special traps
set by Doctor Hornig, in the hope that
the stinger will become hungry. The
neighbors, however, fear that it will get
into one of the adjoining houses through
cracks in the walls.
From descriptions given by Dooley, who
saw the creature several times. but al
ways failed to kill it, Doctor HOrnig be-
lieves that it is either a scorpion or an
unusually large variety of spider. Both
scorpions and spiders are classed as ami
mails by BIOLOGISTS.
Should the liver-baited trap fail Doctor
Hornig will make an effort to get large
female spider to lure the bug from its
hiding place.

soft-shell crabs may soon become a
luxury. that only those with bulging
pocketbooks can afford. and possibly the
delicacy will disappear from the market
altogether, according to fishers of Chesa-
peake Bay, the worlds greatest breeding
ground for edible shellfsh.
The catch In these waters this year is
said TO be only three-fourths as large as
that OF last year. and will be even smaller
next season, II rs believed. unless the in
dustry Is protected by adequate legisla-
tion.
The main difficulty Is said 20 lie In the
attitude OF the state OF Virginia toward
the fisheries. for although Il Is estimated
that the annual catch is to be valued at
several million dollars, crabmen say that
the dredgers at Hampton, Va, have been
allowed TO dredge the crab-breeding
grounds In the winter time, gathering in
crabs of every size. disturbing the spawn
ing and running the beds.
MARYLAND NEGLECTFUL
Maryland is said to have been grossly
neglectful Of the rights of her citizens.
The boundary between the two states is
the low-water mark on the southern
bank of the Potomac, yet Maryland has
allowed crab fishers from Virginia to
use the waters at will, while the latter
State has passed laws which provide
confscation of ships and Imprisonment

and hold 1t over the bottles.
Word was sent to the police station, and
as the cops never heard of a house milk
inspector. Policeman Forgey was sent on
the trail of the stranger He followed
him for a block or two, and as the man
left each bottle safely on the step, the
bluecoat was convinced that he was very
sincere in his work. Forgey then con-
cluded that the inspector was a private
detective. who was tracing a case of milk
poisoning. and was chuckling quietly over
the discovery when he saw the man take
a large bottle of milk and stick it under
his coat
The Inspector ran when he saw the cop
approach. but was caught after a chase
of two blocks. When he confronted Mag
istrate Grcls the prisoner hestated about
explaining his actions. Finally he de-
clared that he was a buttermilk fiend
and admitted that lack of cash prevented
him from indulging in this dissipation.
He gave his name as Frank Keller Of
nowhere.
Keller confessed that the glass which
he carried enabled him to tell quickly
whether a bottle contained sweet milk
or his favorite brand The Judge gave
him a permanent address for three
months at the House of Correction.

trouble to the police in the northwestern
