York Saloon-Police Conducting
Investigation.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., January 15.-
The police are investigating the sud
den deaths in a saloon here of three
men. James Boris, proprietor of the
saloon; William Bizza and John
Hofsky.
Jacob Kaszuba. a brother-in-law of
Boris. told the police that he entered
the place about o'clock and asked
Boris for a calendar. Hofsky began
jumping up and down and asked in a
husky voice:
What was in that stuff? 1t is
burning me-
Hardly had he said the words,
Kaszuba said, than he fell over. Bizza
standing a few feet away, next
toppled over, and Boris moment
later.
Kaszuba said he ran to the street
and called the police. An ambulance
and doctor arrived shortly afterward.
The three men were dead. The police
found no drinks on the bar. but a
search revealed four cases of brown
liquor, looking like beer, and a jug
of brown liquor, smelling like alco-
hol; four one-gallon bottles of red
liquor and case of three-ounce bot
ties filled with a brown powder. The
case containing the bottles was
labeled "ProZanka." The powder will

penetrate the mystery screening the
murder last night of Martin Burke,
Pittsburgh saloon keeper and poll
Lician, who was reputed to have &C
cumulated a fortune by trafficking in
liquor.
Burke was shot down in the door

last night. An autopsy showed two
wounds in his body-either of which
would have been fatal-caused by
bullets of different caliber; Guests OF
Burke's on the SECOND floor of his
dwelling told police they heard only
one shot. Neighbors corroborated
their story. Pedestrians described an
automobile which sped away in the
darkness from in front of the home
seconds after Burke was found dying.
The car they said bore an Ohio IL
cense number.

While admitting the possibility that
both of the shots might have been
fired by one gunman, detectives today

that is wont TO take lodging and
board in wooden fabrics without the
owners leave IS soon to be put to
the pains of finding some other kind
of commissary If he wants to go on
living and doing business.
It appears that a chemist who had
done some clever shopping around
to discover the habits, tastes and dis
likes of the clothes moth, found that
the little nuisance was totally averse
to having his sustenance from goods
treated with certain kind of dye.
From this discovery the chemist pro-
ceeded to compound a chemical with
which to treat wooden cloths and
make them mothproof
The moth isn't poisoned by this
chemical-nothing so cruel as that.
He just tastes it and then goes on a
hunger strike until death from star
vation comes along to put an end to
his career. The design of the chemist
was to deprive him of his appetite.
and that he has succeeded in doing, If
press reports are correct.
If a way really has been found to
put the clothes moth out of business,
the twentieth century has another
great achievement to it's credit. The
moth-ravaged world never has been
quite sure whether 1t were better to
have moths or moth balls. One is de-
structive of the pocketbook, the other
destructive of happiness, and if it be
the chief end of man to be happy, it
readily appears why the question of
choice arises as between the pest and
the traditional stuff that has been
used to combat him.-Minneapolis
