Street Cleaning Chief
In Richmond Suspended
]. E. Minnihan Accused of In.
competency and Neglect
Of Dutv

John E. Minnihan, Street Cleaning
Commissioner for the Borough Of
Richmond, was suspended last night
by Borough President Matthew J.
Cahill at St. George, S. l., fol-
lowing a hearing on charges Of incom-
potency and neglect of duty brought
against him by Robert E. Bailey, Act
ing Commissioner of Public Works.
Tomorrow the Borough President
will announce his final decision, either
lifting the suspension or ousting the
Street Cleaning Commissioner Attor-
ney Frank H. Inness. counsel for Mr..
Minnihan, said it was expected that
the commissioner would be removed
and that in such case application i'm
mediately would be made to the Su-
pteme Court for reinstatement under
the veteran firemen's act.
Commissioner Bailey, in his testi-
mony against Mr. Minnihan yesterday
said that during the snowstorm OF
January last. when traffic on Staten
Island was tied up, the Street Cleaning
Commissioner could not be found to
order out the snow plows. Mr.. Bailey
testified further that the commissioner
was nothing more than a fgurehead
in the department, and that the work
was done by Assistant Commissioner
Charles Rice. Twelve employees of
the department testified in Minnihan's
favor

Fuller Receivers Get
$1,000 for Creditors

A check for $1,000 in settlement of
the account which'the bankrupt firm of
E. NJ. Fuller & Co. mad with it was
received from J. C. Rapi.ier & Co. by
the receiver of the Fuller company yes
terday. This is the first account of
any such proportions shat has been
collected for the benefit of creditors.
1t is understood the work of the
accountants on the Fuller books has
been progressing rapidly and that soon
there will be available fairly accurate
figures as to liabilities and assets.
There has been considerable disap-
pointment in the character of securi-
ties found in the defunct firms strong
box and there has arisen a suspicion,
it was said yesterday, that most of the
valuable holdings had been removed
before the crash.
H. L. Vaudeville, whose company
failed for about $4,000, yesterday
turned over to the receiver, Irwin
Weinstein, some securities he had pur-
chased for investment purposes, which
will be added to the general assets.
Two payments amounting to $4,000
are also expected shortly, which gave
rise to hopes that the creditors might
get 25 cents on the dollar. Thomas A.
Sealy, Mandeville's partner, is still
missing, and if he has not appeared By
Monday a court order for opening his
deposit box will be asked

Senate Discusses
New York Crimes
In Lynching Debate
Southern Members Object
40 Placing Newspaper
Story of Negro Hang
ings in the Record

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Crime in
New York City, the Herrin massacre
and lynchings in the South and in the
North all came in for Senate debate
to-day in consequence of the action Of
Senator Calder in inserting in the
Record newspaper account of the re.
cent lynching in Wayne County, Ga.
of two negroes who had been given
respite from death sentence by Gov.
ernor Hardwick
Senators Harris, of Georgia; Shields
Of Tennessee, and Dial, of South Caro-
lima, sharply criticized the action OF
Senator Calder.
Senator Harris declared the insertion
in the Record of such a story was ar
attempt to "exaggerate lawlessness il
the South"
There is more lawlessness in the
City of New York, wnera the Senator
lives, in one week than there is in the
State of Georgia in year." he said.
Tells of New York Crimes
ne TOOK up new YORK newspaper
of to-day and told Of part of the most
recent crimes in that city. They in
cluded murders of a twelve-year-olt
girl, an Italian and a Jew This was
but partial list, he said, and the dali,
list of crime in New York, including
murders and hold-ups, was "too lonf
for the Record"
Yet the Senator from New York,
said Senator Harris, talks Of lawless
ness in Georgia and refers to lynch.
lngs. 1t is dangerous to walk abroad
in daylight in the Senator's city. It
is not dangerous in Georgia.
Says Interference Won't Help
"The South should be left alone to
settle its negro question. 1t is doing
the very best it can and interference
from outside will not help The good
people Of the South and Georgia de-
plore lynchings, just as the good people
OF other states deplore them"
Senator Shields broke in to saw that
Senator Calder had not mentioned law
lessness in the North.
He did not say anything about the
recent terrible massacre Of miners at
Herrin, H.. almost in the shadow of
the City Hall of Chicago" asserted
Senator Shields: eve do not know how
many were killed; it runs anywhere
from twenty-five to forty, according to
accounts, but we do know that sixteen
unidentified miners were buried safter
the massacre"

Trick Mosquito With Folding
Wings Displaces Deadly Fly
More Numerous and Ferocious, but His Smoker
snee Carries No Poison; Obnoxious Household
Pest Banished Autos Eliminate Horse Stables

As has been said before, if it isn't
one thing it's another. There. are
fewer flies than ever in New York this
summer, but the mosquitoes are more
numerous and more ferocious than in
years.
This is no idle rumor based on a
busy evening on suburban front
porch. 1t is the authentic report of
the Health Department, among the
multifarious duties of which agency
is the collection of vital statistics re-
garding the pest population of the
metropolitan area.
Fewer stables, therefore fewer
fies," said Acting Health Commission
er Monaghan, explaining the situation
yesterday. "On the other hand, moro
puddles of standing water and there
rore more able citizens scratching
furiously at their ankles. Cause and
effect; demand and supply. Immutable
natural law; you can't get away
from it."
To the increase in the use of auto
mobiles for delivery purposes Com
missioner Monaghan attributes the
decline in the birth rate of Musca do
mestica, VINO is our ancient enemy, the
house fly, all dolled up in Latin
name. In the DAYS which are gone by
the Commissioner points out, every
grocery store kept horse and wagon
and consequently a stable. There was
a stable in pretty nearly every block
ali of which was soft pickings for
Mother Musca, who thinks no place is
like horne when home is in a delight
fully smelly stable. The arrival of the
light delivery wagon propelled by gaso-
line has abolished the stables, the Com
missioner argues, and so it happens
that fly screens are becoming every
year less of a necessity and nearer the
luxury classification.
People are swatting 'em, too" the
acting chief of the Health Department
added. Il don't think the swatting
has made all the difference, but it GER
tainly has helped. When l was a kid
folks had a sort of reverential awe
for the fly. They enlarged upon his
wonderful vision and admired him for
his ability to walk around on ceilings
There were half a dozen nursery
rhymes praising him. Well, we have
got over all that. We know now that
though he's clever he's a menace tc
good health and we treat him accord
ngly. But the advent of the automo-
bile and the consequent decrease in

Police RiddingW atertown
Of Death-Dealing Shells

WATERFOWL, N. Y. July 13.-
Numerous artillery shells, similar to
the one which exploded here yester-
day killing eight children, were dumped
in the Black River to-day by the po-
lice, who hope to rid the city of them.
Many had been picked up as souvenirs
ut Pine Plains, where they had been
used in target practice by artillery
men, including the "dud" which caused
the deaths and wrecked a, wo-story
house.
Funerals of six of the victims will
be held at 10 a. m. tomorrow. Five
other young people had been invited to
the croQuet party at which the fatal
explosion occurred, but for various
reasons could not attend.

Anti-Drys Predict
End of Prohibition
Within Two Years
Stanley I'll. Howe, Chairman
of Special Meeting of As
ISOLATION, Bases Prediction
on TLiterary Digest" Poll

Modification of the Volstead act
WITHIN two years was propnesied last
night at special meeting at the Hote
Astor of the New York branch of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment. This prediction was made
by Stanley II. Howe, chairman of the
meeting and formerly Assistant Deputy
Commissioner of Charities, as the re-
suit OF the two to one vote against pro-
hinltlon IN It's present form as brought
out IN the Literary Digest" poll.
Inc meeting was called to receive
the reports of the organizers of the
New York division of the association,
VINO are known as captains of minute
men. The addition of two captains.
each IN charge of fifteen minutemen,
and slxty-one of the latter. each
pledged to get ten members for the as
ISOLATION within week, was an
nounced. The association, it was said
now numbers approximately $4,000,
which represents gain of $4,000 over
the initial enrolment last March, when
the local branch was started.
BY fall the association expects to
nave It's organization completed in the
majority of states, and in the coming
Congressional elections it will urge its
members to vote for the "wet" candi-
date, regardless of party affiliations, &C
cording to Colonel Charles L. Withrow.

the number of stables have done more to
abolish the fly than all the fly swatters
ever welded. I'm sure Of that"
Commissioner Monaghan explained
that the mosquito which is banshing
sleep with his snickersnee these hot
nights Is a persistent insect, though
comparatively harmless. His family
name is Culex pipiens, and though he
has repeatedly been put through a
microscopic third degree by indefat-
igable scientists bent or pihning first
degree murder upon him so fax science
has no evidence that he carries disease
in his stabber. What he lacks in the
lust to Stay, however, he makes UP in
penetrative quality He alone of the
mosquito tribe is able to fold his wingA
back against his body, an underhand
trick which permits him to wiggle his
way through the finest screen. 1t is
practically impossible to keep him out,
and swatting him is usually too late
to be much good. The only thing to
do is to deny him housing facilities.
Mosquitoes breed in water" the
Acting Commissioner explained. "Tin
flower pots, all these retain water, and
therefore offer all the comforts Of
home to female Culex pipiens. She
surface and few days later the
scratching begins"
Suffering humanity has one advan-
tage ever c. Pipiens, though. He is
speed artist not built for distance.
He cannot stand long travel, and if you
find him in your bedroom that means
that he originated somewhere nearby.
Look for tubs, pals, kegs, buckets, bot
ties, old cans and empty boxes which col
lect and rtain rain. Keep roof cutters
clean, screen water barrels and drain
any places where water might col
lect, the department advises. Culex is
chap you can't cure. The only thing
10 do is to prevent him.
Mayor Frank Hague Of Jersey City
issued a proclamation yesterday to
householders to cooperate with the
city health department to put an end
to the growing mosquito menace. The
city has instituted drive against the
pests, which have arrived in great
| swarms due to the recent heavy rains.
Health officers yesterday surveyed
pools and other stagnant places where
breeding places are found.
The Mayor in his proclamation asks
every householder to suppress every
pool of stagnant water about individual
property. This, he explains, will 60 a
great way combating the evil.

that a tarpaulin was stretched over

that no water dripped from it. Plain

The truck went into a garage, and
