MOSQUITO IS KILLED WHEN
BITTEN BOY FALLS As FEET
Tragedy of Brooklyn Fire Escape Affects Only Jersey
Invader and Little Victim of Attack Will See
Circus and Eat Peanuts Just the Same.

mosquito is--or was. because. alas. he
is no more--very fond Of little boys
they dun neither mis- appetite nor his
bin. He therefore plunged again, and
again rank squirmed. and IL is to be
feared that he said words to that mos
quito that little boys are not supposed
even to know. And after that for quite
a considerable time it was just one
squirm after another. and with each
squirm Frank edged closer to the OPEN
ing in the fire escape.
1t is certain that Frank did not mean
to disobey his mother by falling forty
five feet, but what was he to do when
the mosquito kept attacking? Nothing
but squirm. He therefore squirmed. and
finally the mosquito plunged for one last
bite and Frank squirmed himself right
through the opening and down he went.
He almost struck Mrs. Jennie Traina.
who lives on the floor below and who
was hanging out some clothes, but he
sailed past her head with only a very
little to spare and continued on TO the
pavement
There he landed and everybody ran
out of the apartment houses expecting
to find the boy crushed and broken,
because forty-five feet is quite a dis
tance for a little boy TO fall. But he
wasn't hurt. He was quite as good as
he ever was, but the mosquito that had
caused 1t all was a total loss. 1t seems
that he had got himself entangled In
what few clothes Frank wore just as the
boy squirmed for the last time, and
when Frank landed the mosquito was
on the wrong side.

Frank Spadaro wasn't thinking Of
anything in particular Yesterday after
noon IS. gazing solemnly at his hands
and wondering vaguely who had put all
that dirt on them. he sat on the fire
escape in the rear of his home In S97
Third avenue. Brooklyn. This may have
been because Frank is only five years
old and il may have been because as
far as he knew there was nothing else in
the world worth bothering about. At
any rate his mind was open
But unfortunately. so We're his
clothes. that is to say, he was dressed
in raiment befitting the warm weather,
with a little here and little there and
not very much anywhere. He was. there
fore. fair and inviting game for an early
mosquito that had wandered over from
New Jersey and reached the wilds of
Brooklyn. The mosquito went to the
feast and at the first bite Frank
squirmed. But at the second nip he was
alarmed. because he was sitting on the
fire escape. forty-five feet about the
ground only after he had given his
mother positive guarantees he would be
careful, would not move and would not
fall off.
These guarantees Frank meant to
keep. If possible. because on the keeping
OF them depended trip to the circus
next week. with its peanuts and red ball
looms and clowns and multitude of other
wonders. So when he squirmed at the
bite of the ravenous flier from Jersey it
was with reluctance. But this particular

PRESS CLUB STARTS
Allegations by Dissatisfied
Faction Involve Officers
and Trustees.

Supreme Court Justice Edward j.
Gavegan yesterday signed an order re-
turnable April 10 requiring the officers
and trustees of the New York Press
Club to show cause why the organiza-
ton should not be investigated thorough
~ in view Of allegations of msappro-
priation of funds contained in the petit
ton submitted to him and in affidavits
supporting Il. The petition was signed
by Patrick McAvoy, G.. Selmer Fougner
August c. Reimer and Abraham Baer-
mann, and the supporting affidavits were
by Jack Binns. first vice-president. and
Alexander A. McCurdy, a trustee.
The court action brings to a head a
factional dispute over the conduct of the
club which the plaintiffs, according to
II. Francis Dyruff, their counsel, have
been unable to reform 'by mild measure
within the club ITSELF The allegations
of misappropr.ation of funds concern the
admission of men in various sorts of life
to associate memberships for sums less
than the amounts stipulated in the BY
laws: that $4,000 In Liberty Bonds
which were to be deposited in the clubs
treasury by an alleged agreement with
one John ]. Wohltman have not been
deposited and that the treasurer has
deposited in a bank and drawn upon
for current expenses a sum often IN ex-
cess of the $1,000 allowed by the by
laws.
Another allegation sets forth that
solicitation for memberships was 10
cease after March ] on the resolution
noth of the club and the board OF trus-
tees. but that since then a $1,000 check
was obtained from Manuel Vargas, Mex
lean fiscal agent. for special associate
by Wohltman employee.
BEFORE the decision to stop solicitation
was taken. II is alleged. a high city offi-
cial paid 81. 900 for life associate mem
Lership. only $400 OF which went to the
club treasury instead Of the 5000 pro-
yided by the bylaws. the other StoO
coing in commission TO Wohltman'
Wohltman, it is alleged. received large
sums" in commission for collecting
,und that now reaches $4,000 Tor the
of a world war history.
Edward w. Drew, former chairman OF
tbe Board Of Trustees, last night de-
clared that the $4,000 in Liberty bonds
referred to in the petition were placed In
the Press Clubs vault in national panK
when purchased and never have peen
out OF the custody of the chairman OF
tbe board of trustees or the treasurer
ar the club. who have kept them IN
proper safe deposit box.

for more publicity in divorce actions. For
some time there has been an effort TO

Appellate Division will be urged to pro-
vide more stringent rules affecting trial
of uncontested divorce actions. The plan
proposed is that defendants be served
with a subpoena to appear in open court
before a judgment of divorce is granted.
Assistant District Attorney Walter

expected that this will result in the in

counts.
Among the witnesses who will appear
before the Grand Jury is Supreme Court
Justice Arthur S. Tompkins, whose name
1t is alleged was forged to at least four
different interlocutory DEGREES. Justice
Tompkins declares that whoever tried
TO forge his name made a crude job

Orange Colored
HazianSail- Cloth
For Awnings

AU QUATR1EME.
The committee that regu-
lates the Grand Canal in
Venice made law that
only a certain colored fabric
could be used for awnings
on the buildings that line the
Canal. This was that brill
liant orange color that the
Italians adore, and that
gives the city of Venice
much of its great charm. The
patches of this vivid color
against the old stone build
ings make a wonderful color
harmony with the gray
stones and the water and the
blue Venetian sky. Strange
ly enough, awnings of this
color make an unusually
cool dense shade, and seem
to reflect some of the golden
quality OF the sunlight while
they exclude the heat.
These Venetian awnings
arc all made of a heavy sail
cloth of firmly woven linen,
a fabric as fascinating in
texture as it is in color.
A large quantity of this
sail-cloth was brought over
from Italy by Au Qua
trieme's collector, and is
now here in time for the
summer season.

Tablets that are Nausea
{ 4 less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the rev, nausea
less calomcl tablets called Cclotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo

that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
