the plan has been taken up by private

number of business men were invited
to the department of agriculture and

the draft law for the encouragement
OF the manufacture of drugs and dye

and invited those present to give their

subsequently decided that those pres

EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR DESTROYING
 POULTRY LICE
Means Developed by Bureau of Entomology, U.' s. De- partment of Agriculture.

Entomo1ogists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture have demonstrat- ed that all species of lice which infest poultry may be quickly destroyed by the application of very small quan- tity of sodium fuorid, according to the annual report of the Chief of the Bu- reau of Entomology just issued. En- tire focks of poultry were cleared of the parasites in this way and were found to remain free when ordinary precautions were taken against rein festation by contact with infested fowls.
 In connection with this work the en- tomologists of the Department made the first complete studies of the chick en mite and determined that 1t de- bends exclusively upon the fowl for it's food and will not develop in any stage on filth or similar substances In tests of a large series of-insecticides it was found that a few thorough appli- cations of crude petroleum to the in- terior of poultry houses will complete ly destroy the mites.

NIGHT
 CROWDS CAUGHT
 IN SUBWAY FIRE

New York, Nov. 8-Fire broke out in the subway at the south end of the station at 10th street and Lenox av- enue at II o'clock last night, when the trains were full of Bronx and Harlem residents on their way home after
 celebrating election night on Broad way.
 The fumes of burning cable insula- ton filled the tube as far south as Ninety-sixth street and as far north as 125th street. The dense smoke overcame scores.
 Two trains were stalled in the inn mediate vicinity, and 40 f1remen from each of the four divisions in Manhat- tan and The Bronx hurried to the scene.
 They opened the sidewalk gratings and descended into the tube to rescue
 the imprisoned passengers. At mid night they still were carrying out sur vivors.
 Ambulances were on hand from nearly every Manhattan hospital, and pulmotors were sent to- the spot by the Consolidated Gas Go. The side walks were lined with those who had been overcome by the fumes. 50 Tar as was known at m1On1SnC no one was dead, but it was recalled that in the previous subway fire the deaths occurred from the effects of the smoke and not from flames, so that firemen and physicians could not be
 certain whether all the patients would
 recover.
 Reserves were called from all the police stations in Harlem to keep the crowds back. Word of the disaster spread quickly, and throngs fought their way to the locality from 125th street, where a crowd was celebrating election night, and even from Broad way.
 Hospital internes, police and fire
 men were obliged to use force at times to restrain excited men and women who were seeking news of friends and relatives whom they expected would be on their way home in the subway at that hour.
 At the office of the Interborough it
 was stated that the protection board" at the south end of the platform was l on fire. Owing to the dense smoke it was impossible to get at the blaze. Four alarms were sent in.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
A Fish Story.

Boston-As a gentleman was angi- ing last Thursday in the milldam west chester he accidently threw his line across 8 white straw duck, which sud- denly turning around twisted the gut about her own neck and fixed the hook of the dropper fly in her own breast. Thus entangled and hooked she soon broke off the gut above the dropper and sailed down the stream with the endfiy trailing behind her. She had not proceeded far before a trout apparently about one and one half pounds weight, took the fly eff fectually, then commenced strug- gle the most extraordinary that ever was written-a duck ate the trooper and target rOut ate the end fly. Whenever the trout exerted itself the terros of the duck were very con- spicuous; it f1uttered its wings and dragged the fish. In case of no vio- lent struggle on the part of the trout the duck evidently gave way and suffered herself at last to be drawn under some bushes where the short ness of the duck did not allow the trout to shelter himself in his re- treat and the duck to remain on the surface at the same time. The ducks head was drawn repeatedly under water. By chance, however, the gut got across a branch which hung downwards into the water and the duck taking advantage of the pur- chase which this gave her, dragged her opponent from his hole and com pelled him to shew his head above water. Then it became contest of life or death. The trout was in the last agonies and the duck evidently in a very weak state when the duck gave way and suffered them to part each his own way.

BRIDGEPORT LIBRARY ASSO.

The library was never in a more fourishing condition than at present and the directors desire once more to bring it before the attention of the community through the public prints, as they deem it an institution worthy of still more consideration and pa- tronage than it has yet enjoyed at the hands of our citizens The num- Der of members is a little less than 300 which is discreditable fact in a city of this size. It would be easy to make out a list of at least a thous- and young persons (to say nothing of their elders) who names are not, but should be, upon the boks of the association as members. The price of membership is $2 a year, or $1.25 for six months, giving the member the priviledge of keeping two books out at a time, besides enjoying free access to the library afternoons and evenings.

COP. MAJORITY IN CONNECTICUT
 GREATLY REDUCED
Hughes Carries the State by Approximately
 $500 Votes.

Charles E. Hughes carried Connecti- rality of close to $500 votes. Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb was reelected by a plurality of about 12,030, running aheod of his ticket. United States Senator George P. Mclean was the choice of the state over Homer S.. Cummings of Stamford vice chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee, by a plurality of about 5000. The entire Republican state ticket was elected.
 One Democratic victory was regis tered in the state in the defeat in the First Congressional district of Con- gressman P. Davis Oakley by his Denl- ocratic opponent, former Congressman n Augustine Lonergan. The big Demo- cratic majority in Hartford and the failure of New Britain to deliver its usual Republican majority tells the story of how this happened.
 Everywhere in the state, the vote was exceptionally large. Fair weather prevailed throughout the state, and this had a great influence on getting out the vote. The Democratic strength was, as usual, greatest in the cities. with the greatest display in Hartford, where the large Democratic plurality surprised the politically. wise.
 The Legislature.
 The latest available reports make it practically certain that the next Leg islature will be made up as follows:
 Senate-Republican 25; Democrats, 10.
 House-Republican 194; Democrats, g.
 This will give the Republicans plurality of 151 on a joint ballot.
 The 1915 Legislature was made up as follows:
 Senate-Republican 30; Democrats. 5.
 House-Republican 196; Democrats, 60; Progressive, 1; independent, 1.
 The composition of this Legislature gave the Republicans a plurality O. 161 on a joint ballot.

 Bodies Rescued By Divers.

Bodies Rescued By Divers. | Later an S0-ton crane belonging to the T. A. Scott company was brought 1 into position over the car. The divers, ! returning from an examination, re- | ported that the car was standing up- right on the bottom, and that they could see many bodies jammed against l it's windows and about the doors Preparations were made immediately for the divers to begin the work of re- covering the bodies before the ma- chinery of the big derricks was put in operation. The divers said that the car was in about 25 feet of water.
 It was more than five hours after the car went down that the divers started the actual removal of the bod ies within it. One of them worked inside the car, passing each body as he came to it out to another diver, who raised it to the police boat Guar dian at the surface. Ten bodies were thus taken out very quickly and were transferred to the police boat. Later they were sent to the North Grove | street morgue. All the bodies first re- covered were those of men. Thousands of spectators lined the | approaches to the bridge, watching the work of the police, as revealed by | the searchlights. Lines of police kept [ the crowd away from the bridge it. self and those who desired to view the bodies to see if any re1~>eves had lost their lives in the accident were directed to the morgue. The plan first announced of at tempting to raise the car with the bodies inside was later abandoned. It was decided that the divers could take out all the bodies, and that afterward the car should be lifted by the giant l cranes and placed aboard lighters for removal to the navy yard. The order for taking the car to the navy yard was said to have come from Mayor Curley.
 The. Injured.
 Following is a list of the injured who Jumped from the car as it fell or fought their way to the surface after it reached the water:

 Their injuries were mainly minor cuts and bruises. Two of the men said they smashed windows and leap ed from the car as it struck the water. Others seemed uncertain how they es- capped.
