II dollar seems much, why, have thankful

You're not an inspector-~he'll have to give

1t will be "china or some little thing
like that" and it will cost, if every
member of the force "comes through"
in accordance with the scale laid down
by those who are collecting the En-
right wedding present fund, anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000.
So far, that is all that is known of
the tribute that the department is pay
ing to Police Commissioner Enright,
now away on his wedding trip, except
for two other facts. The first of these
is that the captains are collecting from
all their subordinates and the inspect
ors are collecting from the captains.
The second is that the department ex-
poets every man to do his duty.
If you are q patrolman, your duty
is rated at 81. First grade detectives
are expected to pay So; sergeants SO;
lieutenants and captains SIS and in

Leach, acting Commissioner in Mr.. En-
rights absence, yesterday confirmed
the report that captains and inspectors
were levying officially upon their sub
ordnates for contributions
"They are" he asserted, "and why
shouldn't they? 1t is the natural thing
tor them to do. They gave something
when Commissioner Woods got mar
rird. The present will not be made to
Commissioner Enright, but to the
bride, as is customary. Whatll it be ?
On perhaps china or some little thing
like that"
Commissioner Leach said that he did
not understand that men were to be
assessed a certain amount for the
present, but inquiry at headquarters
disclosed that there were established ID
limits, below which gifts were not sup
posed to drop. These are cited above.
The department did give Commits
sloner Woods q present when he mar
ried, although Mr. Woods at first for
bade any such gift. When the men
insisted upon giving him something, he
consented. but only on condition that
no contribution exceed twenty-five
cents. Patrolmen, he said, should not
give more than five or ten cents. In
all about $500 was raised.
Commissioner Leach said that his
superior knew nothing of the $4,000
to $4,000 fund which is being raised
for him and his bride. In fact, he said,
he was sure that Mr. Enright would

A cylinder head weighing three tons
Adriatic blew off yesterday morning as
the North River, causing a twenty-four-
hour delay in her departure Nobody
was hurt, alth ough the force of the ex-
plosion shook the vessel and there were
many narrow escapes from death.
The cylinder head struck the wall of
the engine room and carromed to the
steel grating. The chief engineer shut
off the steam in time to save the lives
of those working below decks, who were
threatened with death by scalding. The
explosion cut the main electrical cable
causing darkness in the lower portion
of the ship.
The Adriatic's departure was origi-
nally scheduled for Saturday, but fog
interfered. The mishap yesterday oc-

Commissioner Of Agriculture.

During the month there have been
held Is farmers meetings in connec-

agreement with the department Of
agriculture at which the average at
tendance was 65. Plans have been
formulated for the organization of
a farm war council for increased food
production campaign, and F. H.
Bickford Of Bradford has been ap-
pointed as farm labor agent to work
on the problem of securing farm Ia
Dor. The following quotation is
from the report of the commissioner
relating to the insect suppression
work:
Scouting work carried on shows
that the State is practically free from
the browntail moth. In 1913 the
eastern border of the State was
badly infested. In 1914 the in
festation reached it's greatest
heights and several men were en-
ployed during the winter to cut off
and burn all the nests which could
be found in the infested areas. The
total expenditure for this work was
$5,203.16.-- In 1915 an expenditure Of
about half this sum was sufficient to
clean the infested areas and the cost
has decreased every year since. We
may expect further infestatiOn,
however, from Massachusetts and
New Hampshire If weather condi-
tions are favorable during the pc
riod when the insect is in the flying
state. Indications point to a very
slight infestation Of the tent caterpil-
lar next season. This is encourag-
ing because this insect has done
great damage to fruit trees for sew
eral seasons"
