Herbarillrn Curator at C.. u.
R0uts Pests by O,vn Invention

Leading botanists and curators Of
museums Of herbariums in the United
States are visiting the Langlois Herb
arium at Catholic University to view
the invention of the Rev. DR.. Hugh
O'Neill, its curator and member Of
the department of biology, for the de-
struction Of pests and preservation Of
plants in collections.
Faced with the necessity Of preserv-
ing his own collection against the raw
ages Of insect pests and finding poisons
and fumigants ineffective and objec-
tionable, Father O'Neill had q steel
cabinet built with proper insulation
and with the aid of the university elec-
trician installed heating apparatus.
He now cooks" his specimens before
placing them on his shelves, and his
difficulties seem to have been ended.
The apparatus Is simple, inexpen-
sive and eficient, according to DR..
O'Neill, who was asked to prepare
paper telling the story Of his inven-
ton for Rhodora, the journal Of the
New England Botanical Club. pub
lished under the direction Of the Gray
Herbarium Of Harvard University.
Previously insect pests in plant col
lections were controlled by poisoning
the specimens, periodical fumigation,
the use Of repellants or some combi-
nation Of the three. poisons are OBJ
jectionable. because they are also
poisonous to the .hotanist. Fumigants

disagreeable odors. Repellants are
efiicient only when used in conjunc-
ton with an insecticide. All these
methods kill the eggs but only after
a long time. and eggs deposited in
fruits. such as acorns, are not trou-
bled by these methods, he explained.
DR.. O'Neill found that insects are
killed by heat at comparatively low
temperature, but because of the low
conductivity of the paper on which
the specimens of plants Are mounted
the heat is transferred slowly. A
temperature of 40 degrees r. or so
degrees c. will kill insects or eggs in
all stages in period Of four to six
hours. Excessive drying Of plants Is
avoided by the botanist by placing q
pan of water on the lowest shelf Of
his cabinet.
DR.. O'Neill stated he believes "'this
method Of killing insects Is more
thorough and more rapid and less
expensive than any known method"
The cabinet is the same size Is those
used In the usual herbarium and has
q capacity of 5000 to 5000 mounted or
unmounte dspecimens for single
heating. DR.. O'Neill experimented
with his apparatus since June, 1888,
before making public his findings as
to its effectiveness. During that time
he has treated nearly 400, 1000 sheets
of plants as well as q collection Of
fungi with record Of no pests dis
covered In the herberium since that
date. -.

4HELD BY POLICE
|NPASSF0RGER|ES
Alleged Plot to Defraud
Capital Transit Co. Is
Uncovered.

Four colored men were held by police
today for investigation in connection
with the forgery Of Capital Transit
Co. street car and bus passes.
Half dozen samples of the hand
made passes, which company officials
believed had been in use by colored
laborers for the last two months, were
found at homes of two of the suspects,
police said.
Water colors and crayons had been
used to forge the passes on very thin
paper. with the drawing and lettering
crudely traced from a genuine ST 25
weekly pass. Police said the fakes had
been sold at from so cents to ST each
Detection Difficult.
The forgery was said to have been
hard to detect because the fake passes
were carried in card holders and
flashed only briefly before a street
car or bus conductors eyes. There
was no estimate of the number in cir
culation.
Acting on information uncovered in
investigating complaint by the
transit company last week, the newly
enlarged pickup" squad Of the De-
tective Bureau arrested the four
suspects early yesterday. climaxing a
series Of raids in which 13 white
hoodlums were rounded up Saturday
night.
One of the white prisoners was re-
leased today on a writ of habeas
corpus. Records of the others were
being investigated. Inspector Bernard
w. Thompson. chief of detectives, said
one Of the men being held was reputed
to be New York gunman. Others
are known as gamblers and petty
vice racketeers, he said.
The colored men being questioned
IN connection with the street car and
bus pass forgeries gave their names as
James A. Beal. %, of the 1900 block
Of Church street NV; James F. Small,
Is. of the 1900 block of Thirteenth
street NV; Walter j. Blackburn, o.,
OF the 1900 block Of Thirteenth street
NV, and Eugene Osborne, 20, of the
1700 block of U street NV.
Asleep When Raided.
Inspector Thompson said Blackburn
and Osborne apparently were not in
volved in the forgery plot directly, but
probably would be held as material
witnesses. He said some of the fake
passes were found at the homes of
Beal and Small. Water colors and
crayons were found at Small's home
and loaded pistol at Beals home. he
added. Both men were asleep when
their homes were raided.
If thorough investigation shows no
charges pending against the dozen
white men rounded up in raids on
underworld hangouts Saturday night,
Inspector Thompson said, they proba-
bly, will be released with warnings to
leave town.
Police had expected to pick up 40
or more suspects in the Saturday night
raids. But the pickup" squad found
usual underworld haunts almost de-
serted. Inspector Thompson did not
believe this was due to a "tip-off"
about the raids, but said he hoped
many undesirable characters had been
frightened out of town by publicity
about the intensified police activity.

torney, told the committee he felt the
legislation would serve no purpose
except to "harass poor people" The
present law. he contended, is adequate
to reach numbers writers and pick
up men, while the proposed law would
not hit the higher-ups, the bankers. y
Two Officials Testify.
During the two days of hearings
last week only two other witnesses
were heard-United States Attorney
David A. Pine and Police Supt. Err
nest w. Brown. Both urged the legis-
lation as essential il any lasting head
way is to be made against the racket.
And both also denounced the num-
bers Is a menace to good govern
ment and breeder Of violence.
Mr.. Pine proposed an amendment
making original numbers tickets-the
slips held by the men running the
game-evidence OF violating the lot
terry law. This. he explained, would
strike directly at the racketeers rather
than the players.
As it stands, the measure would
make conviction Of operating the game
punishable by . maximum fine of
$1,000 and maximum imprisonment of
three years.
The bill passed the Senate February
10. 1887, and lay buried in the House
committee files until recently.

ON TAX RETURNS
Will Devote His Afternoon
to Work on Income
Statement,
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

The one big problem facing Presi-
dent Roosevelt today was his income
tax return.
Like most men, the President likes
to put this task of until the hast.
With view to having. as few inter-
ruptions as possible while he labors
with figures, the President arranged
his schedule 50 he would be free
throughout the afternoon to work on
his return. The President takes great
pride in trying to do this himself, but
like most others he finds 1t necessary
to call in the assistance Of one or
more experts.
AS has been his custom each Mon
day morning since Congress started
this session. the President met during
the forenoon with the big four" of

Garner, Speaker Bankhead, Senator
Barkley of Kentucky and Representa-
tive Rayburn of Texas. majority lead

foreign outlets for both agricultural
and industrial products 80 necessary
for our prosperity.
Dependence Re.Emphasi.ed.
Agriculture a. a whole Is depend
ent on export outlets, and that de-
pendence Is re-emphasized this year
by the return Of good crops.

taking over third Of our total agri-
cultural exports and about half of all
agricultural exports other than cotton.
Prosperity in industry likewise
depends upon an active foreign de-
mand. In 1887 our exports of man
ufactured and semi-manufactured
products amounted to 2.3 billion dol
lars"
The Representatives who signed the
letter to Mr.. Hull included Brewster,
Oliver and Smith of Maine; Bates,
Clason, Clifford, Holmes, Luce, Mar
tin, Rogers, Tinkham, Treadway and
Wtgglesworth Of Massachusetts; Tobey
Of New Hampshire and Plumley OF
Vermont.
Mr.. Treadway, who, as ranking
minority member Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, lead the oppo-
sition to the agreements legislation
in 1884, appeared at the hearings this
morning when Representative Allen
completed his statement.
Face Loss Of Jobs.
Go easy in making concessions on
British rubber goods, Mr.. Allen said,
with special consideration for the
Pennsylvania Rubber Co., Jeannette,
Pa, in his district. Four hundred men
and WOMEN in the division Of the COM
pany which makes tennis balls, bad
minton shuttlecocks, bicycle tires and
bicycle tubes may suffer unemploy-
ment, he said, They earn $23.20 q
week, while English workers at the
same jobs make $3.50 . week.
Completion of the agreement would
drive tremendous wedge into trade
barriers and act as blow to the for
eign commercial policy of unilateral
traders like Germany, whose almost
barter like policy Is anathema to Mr..
Hull.
It also would throw open the British
Empire and Commonwealth Of Nations
to q much freer trade program, for
the members of the Commonwealth
now are committed to the Imperial
Preference policy set by the Ottawa
Agreements, which promotes British
family trade.

hear from opponents prevailed Fri

in an effort to shorten the hearings.

Mr.. Cole added that he didn't see
any Use in hearing from everybody
favoring the legislation, since the at
