discriminating the one in custody {.
So-called alibis on the part Of
the accused, he smashed to pieces
in many instances. He was dill
gent, and preserving, and never
spared for time in his inveStiga-
tons. He never delayed looking up
a point, because the time for quit
ting for the day had arrived. That
was the way he started out, and
that was the way he finished. He
was what truthfully could be
classed as a successful detective.
Commissioner Robt. Hurley of the
state police used to say that Stew
ems was among the cleverest he
had met in his travels of the
state.
Joe Stevens was an Out Easter;
he was born on old Dublin street,
but eventually lived on East Main
st. in the vicinity of the Church of
the Sacred Heart. 1t was here we
met him in our boy-hood days.
We played ball with him, and we
saw him later as member of
the police base ball team. We Of
his day Out East got interested in
the police Dept. because of the ac-'
tivities of young commissioner,
bent on placing some of the young
fellows out here in the Dept. Joe
got his first appointment without
his aid, but later he was the one
who engineered his appointment
to the detective force. Poor fell
low, he has been dead now for a
number of years, and Joe leaves
to join him.
Police life in this city has been
a study to many of us who have
followed it for long time. Many
changes have taken place since
Joe entered the Dept, just elig.
ible for appointment, at the time.
He was tidy and well dressed Of
ficer of the law, in uniform. His
clothes, he was most particular
about, and saw to it they were cut
by a tailor of standing and long
experience.
We attended Joe's funeral. We
saw him in death as we had seen
him at his desk upon numerous
occasions. We had no idea he was
the sick man he was, previous to
death. He never complained. went
his usual way, met old and dear
friends in the same cordial man
ner. and never showed by his &C
tons that he was other than a
well person.
His body lies in the earth of old
st. Joseph's cemetery, sloping to-
ward Hamilton avenue. We are
able to note his grave as we wend
our way along the highway. And
each time We pass we shall doff
our hat, we hope, as reminder of
the days of old when we romped
the ball diamonds OF the East End,
unmindful, of the day we would
lose our boyhood, and grow into
manhood, and then be confront
ed with death.
Joe Stevens was great fellow.

Insecticide Supply
Prospects Brighter
Home Gardener to Experience No Trouble Getting All
Material He Needs Next Season

II the outlook on the insecticide
supply situation continues as favor
able as at present, the home gard
ener should have no trouble getting
all the material he needs to keeS
down the insects next season, be-
Ieves Nicely Turner of the Agri-
cultural Station in New Haven.
Rotenone, on which many anna
teurs have learned to largely de-
pend, is expected to be more plenti-
full in 1914 than it was last season.
Current estimates call for close to
two thirds the normal peacetime
shipments. Three reasons are Sug-
gested for this improved outlook.
South American production Is in
creasing and will help fill the gap
in supply left open by Japan's cap
ture of Pacific areas which were
formerly our chief source of this
insecticide. Two, the shipping Sit
uation is improved to the extent
that most coastwise cargo ships
reach port. Three. rotenone Is be-
ing extended by the use of alter
nate materials. The improved
supply will allow a reasonable al
lotment of rotenone materials for
home gardens.
Nicotine, which with rotenone
may be considered basic inSec-
ticide," is expected to be plentiful
this year. Manufactured from to-
bacco, its chief uses are in the
control Of soft-bodied sucking in
Sects such as aSphids.
Many gardeners, who last sum-
mer battled severe infestations of
flea beetles on tomatoes. elephants,
potatoes and other crops, learned
how valuable cryolite is in the con-
troll of this pest. Striped cucum-
Der beetle, cabbage worms and Mex
lean bean beetle are other insects
on which this insecticide may b
used. The supply of this chemical
is the greatest in history, Mr.. Tur-
ner reports. It is obtained both
through natural deposits in Green
land and through manufacture.
Even with the improved insecti-

TimiIty Goes
| After Rumor-
Mongers

Boston, Nov. 22-(UP)-The
Boston Traveller said today that
Boston Police Commissioner JOS
eph F. Timilty had ordered BoS-
ton police to arrest as suspicious
persons, rumor-mongers spread
ing false stories harmful to the
prosecution of the war.
Timiltys general order, the
Traveller said, directed that such
persons be held for investigation
by federal authorities.
ITO protect persons against re
venge' complaints and to prevent
witch hunting" the Traveller
said, "the. commissioners order,
believed without precedent in this
country, requires the following
procedure:
"a person hearing a stranger
talking against the war effort (for
example, against the buying of
war bonds may report the stran-
ger to police officer. The COM
plainant must give his own name
and address and in addition must
have a witness willing to give his
or her name and address. Unless
the stranger makes explanations
satisfactory to the police officer
the latter will book the stranger
as suspicious person and notify
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, or Army or Navy Intelli-
gence."
The Traveller said the commits
sioner acter as result of discovery
that "well-dressed strangers" were
accosting persons i'll Boston and
advising them not to buy war
bonds.
