AVAST THE MOSQUITO!

"Everything is ovely-but the mosqultoes,1 re- marked tourist on recent visit to the Railroad Belt Tt might be advantageous to take steps to eliminate the pests especially around settlements and along the railroad"
 Less logical ideas than this have been propounded and accepted It would not entail very heavy cost to spray the envrons of towns infested and the entire rght-of-way few carloads of oil would do the work During the early construction days of the Alaska Rail- road it done and the good results lasted years
 Working jointly with the railroad civic heads-the City Councils or Chambers of Commerce-could open war on the breeding spots of the mosquito.
 Odtimers will recall, during the construction days when mosquitoes gradually decimated until they no cause for comment. There is in dodging facts now practically every arrival from the wilderness in this and lower river districts compans of the pests They cleaned out at that early period by smearng oil in breeding places; great amount of burning oc cured, and numerous bogs and swamps drained Since ual increase until the pests have become source o critical comment.

Mrs. Thomson being in New York today, the police were unable to determine whether or not anything was taken, but everything about the case indicated that money was sought.
 Mrs. Rufus x Hcmcnway of Ill Lexington street told Sergeant T.. A. McAvay that she heard a dos barking about 10 o'clock last night but she paid no attention to it be- cause it is q common noise. It con- tlnued for several minutes, however, and she thought of Investigating but did not do so. The police be-
 
 ransackcd at that time.
 This morning, Mrs. Thomson's chauffeur noticed the broken win dow and also saw the door open, so he Investigated and found that the house had been entered. He called Mrs. Hemenway and she mo- titied Captain Kelly at police head quarters, after which Sergeant Me Away was detailed to investigate
 This is the first house breaking case reported in some time in which violence was used to gain entrance. The common practice is to open doors by means Of keys The ran saCking, however, was very similar to that reported in several other homes about the city during the past few weeks and year ago when upwards of forty cases of this kind were reported.

 Policeman Gibbons denied the charge and suggested that "Nimblc" had died from the effects of the gas
 An autopsy was performed by the coroIcr who found death to have been caused by a broken neck.
 This gave rise to the suicide theory of Policeman TobI.
 That bird died of grief he main taincd. When it found it's mistress was dead it escaped from it's cage and hurled itself about the room until it broke it's neck. If someone from the detective bureau will exam inc the scene carefully he'll probably find blood on the walls"

 The Uncas, the commander said has bullet proof windows and is cov- cred with armor with the exception Of @ small partition near the pilot house.
 An examination of the G0-foot craft revealed no contraband aboard, Rasmussen said
 The wounded men who were taken to d hospital gave their names as John Smith of Detroit, and William Moore of Laurel, Mont. They suffer- cd leg wounds when the rife bullets fired by the coast guardsmcn on the tG-S00l penetrated through a small wooden section of the craft not cov- cred by armor. Lloyd Decline of J-ockport, x. Y, who escaped being lit. was arrested.
 According 10 Rasmussen, the J'n- Cas. now known on the lakes as the Butterfly, had unloaded cargo of liquor somewhere along Cattaragus creek and was proceeding out into the lake when hailed by the coast guard cutter.
 When it failed to halt after being chased for mile, Rasmussen said, the boat was fired on. It was cap- turcd shortly after the opening vol ley.

 The two young brothers stnel the Mikcnas child to prevent >his making an outcry while they per. scribed by Deputy Coroner James J. Corrigan as acts of moral delin- quents."
 The crime took place late in July in marshland near a beach in Mil ford. The boys were wards of the New Haven county home at the time.
 Dr, Hcaley said his examination of the young brothers would have no legal significance, the sole pur- pose being 10 determine the ctioloe lcal causes contributory to the crime.
 Dr. Healoy thought 30 days would be required for the examination. A summary of findings will be turn ed over 10 the court, together with Ia recommendation as to the proper treatment of the boys.

 Although the examination Twill cut through the social strata of the community" Dr. Hcalcy declared it will be kept concentrated on the boys themselves and it will be left to the community ito clean house itself if it appears that house cleaning is necessary 10 the future welfare of children here"
