commission Says Pests Have
Deserted the Oil-soaked
Marshes for Boardwalk,
but They Have Not In
creased. PLEASANTVIL.LB, .V. J., Oct. S.-N'ow
that cooler weather foe to the pests
Is here, thi dreaded New Jersey mosquito
altered by residents and visitors to the
seashore and nearby mainland towns are
seen to bo decreasing rapidly In num
bers, and but for so many warm das
during September no doubt the few re
maining on the mainland would by this
time have passed In for the season.
Naturally, rcsldonts breath relief at the
passing of another, one of the worst,
mosquito seasons of the seashore, and
visitors from Philadelphia, New York
and other, cities welcome their return
from the seashore, If only to bo rid of the
Pest.-
On account of the unusually large num
bers of mosqultos on the mainland and
meadows, some of which also braved the
ocean breezes some weeks of the past
summor, to the annoyance of Uoardwnlk
strollers In Atlantic City, the vehement
declarations of old county folks that
mosqultos were never so bad as the
present year, and the Increased protest
of visitors that they never suffered from
them so badly In previous summers as
the past one. Very promising assurances
toward extermination of the pests event
ually ore, however, again made by the
Mosquito Exterminating Committee rep
resentatives, though some of the farmers
hold the statements up to ridicule, nnd
claim vigorously that there never will
come the time that the pests will be
eliminated while there Is air here for
them to breathe In.
COMMISSION SPENDS 3000.
Since January 1 of this year the local
mosquito commission has spent a sum
of 15000 In tho drainage of meadows,
through ditch Irrigation nnd the applica
tion to breeding places of the mosquito
of an oil prepared to kill the mosquitoes
and eggs. This sum brings the total for
the couple of years' campaign ngalnst
the mosquito to date to about 10.000 In
expedltures. Five thousand dollars more
Is now needed for this winter's work
and efforts will be made to secure this
mount of appropriation from the State.
Answering the first question. "Why are
there so many more thousands of mos
quitoes this season on the mainland and
In Atlantic City than In past years," the
representative replied: "There are no
more mosquitoes, but the reason there
appears to the people to be more Is that
the mosquitoes are drl-en from the mead
ows, their breeding places, by the ditches
and oils placed In the ditches." Asked
then why there wan little evidence of
the committee's work and expedltures
made with reference to the still large
numbers of mosquitoes, the representa
tive replied that the mosquito laid eggs
In the fall that hatch In the following
spring. Work by the commission had
not gone ahead sufficiently to kill the
eggs laid last fall, which brought forth
this year's population of the mosquito,
he said, but there would be an otlccable
decrease of them In the coming season
due to the extensive ditching and oiling
of the breeding places this summer. The
eggs will not hatch except In stagnunt
the eggs will be killed this fall by the
moving water In ditches.
TWO CLASSES OF PESTS.
There are two classe of pests, one the
marsh and salt water mosquito and the
other the fresh water. One breeds and
lives In the meadow and tho second
breeds 'n water barrels, cess pools and
other receptacles containing water. It Is
for the elimination of the first that the
lltchlng and oiling Is being done and for
fine second agents nre canvassing towns
on the mainland enforcing1 the elimina
tion of arrets and other receptacles hold
ing water that would breed that variety.
The general impression Is that the mos
quitoes breed In bushes on land, but they
do not nnd are either blown to the land
or migrate there after hatching. They
can travel from 33 to 1.1 miles and this
would explain the annoyance this year
further Inland. The salt water mosquito
after burying its eggs In the mud in, fall
dies as cold weather approaches.
While the representative claims there
will not be one-tenth the mosquitoes no
ticeable next year as were In evidence
this year because of the commission's ef
forts so far toward the killing of the
egss and spoiling of the hatching places,
far more laughllngly claim that the
ditches will only aid In breeding them.
Some of the opttmlsltlc residents are In
sympathy with the commission and are
wishing It success, while visitors now In
their home cities njrslng the red topped
mosquito bumps laugh at the pests' In
ability of reaching them In their own
towns In the winter, and arc wishing the
commission all kinds of luck In antici
pation of their next year's visit to the
seashore.

EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER
CAPITAL WONDERS
IF CLARK WILL BE
CANDIDATE IN 1916
Tumulty's Letter to Jersey
Democrats Throws Light
on Wilson's Attitude To
ward Possible Rival.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Will Speaker
Champ Clark be a cnndldnto for tho
Democratic nomination for President In
19167 This Is one ot the questions that
are uppermost In the minds of a good
many Democrats here, nnd one that is
eagerly discussed In hotel lobbies.
Tho Interest In Speaker Clnrk's plans
would not be so great perhaps If It had
not been for the diplomatic letter Jo
seph P. Tumulty, secretary to the Presi
dent, sent to Edward E. Grosscup, chnlr
mun of the New Jersey Democratic Stato
Committee, This letter, which had the
approval of the President, suggested to
the Now Jersoy Democrats that it would
bo wise for them to sidetrack their In
dorsement of President Wilson for a sec
ond term until other Democrats, not so
friendly with the President, Indicated
their attitude.
There Isn't tho least doubt that the
President can get the Indorsement of his
home Stato for anything and everything
ho wants A New Jersey Indorsement
would carry not nearly so much weight
as that of, say, Missouri. It requires
only an ordinary reading of Mr. Tu
multy's letter to Mr. Grosscup to dis
cover a gentlo hint to those who have
been lukewarm In their feelings toward
the President that an Indorsement from
them would not alono bo opportune, but
would bo pleasing as well to the Execu
tive Office.
Mr. Tumulty's letter, however, has
started the 1916 Presidential ball rolling.
The time Is not far dlstnnt when candi
dates nnd platforms will bo In tho-limelight,
since tho national conventions nro
only a year from this coming June.
Hence tho Interest In the plans of Mr.
Clark and In tho question as to whether
the single-term plnnk which Mr. Bryan
Injected Into tho Democratic platform will
return to plaguo tho Secretary of State.
Not that ho will bo a candidate for tho
presidential nomination himself, becauso
comparatively few Democrats take his
aspirations In that direction seriously Just
now. They point out that he Is a part
an Important part of President Wilson's
Administration, and ho has no alternative
but to support the President should tho
latter signify his willingness to accept a
renomlnntlon.
There nro some Democrats around hero
whoso facetious reply to the query as
to whether Mr. Clark would to a candi
date has been "Ask Hearst." Mr. Hearst
nnd Mr. Clark arc Inseparable politically
and socially, nnd It seems only natural
that the editor should know the Speaker's
plans, or, at least, bo able to make a
pretty good guess as to what they arc.
Of course, It Is 'true that If Hearst could
put Speaker Clark In the White House In
place of Mr. Wilson he would do so with
alacrity. He has not made tho slightest
effort to conceal his antagonism toward
tho President.
It Is only fair to tho President to say
that this ill feeling exists on Mr. Hearst's
side only. Close friends of tho President
say ho has only the kindliest of feelings
toward tha editor.
A short chat with Speaker Clark will
quickly convince one that ho hasn't got
over tho grouch he cultivated after the
Baltlmoro Convention finished Its work.
He still belloves that ho should now bo
In the White House, nnd takes no par
ticular pains to hldo this belief. He still
believes he Is tho most popular Demo
crat in this country and could win the
Presidency If he set out after It.
NO TRACES OF JEWELS
Mysterious Theft in Home of Aiibto
cratic Boston Family.
BOSTON, Oct. 6. Mystery surrounds
thn theft of family heirlooms and Jewels
from the homo ot Allan Forbes, of West

BULLDOG HOLDS FAST
TO PROMISING CLUE
Obtains Part of Trousers of Man Who
Robbed Fraternity House.
SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Oct. S.-A
thief entered tho Chi Phi Fraternity
house of Lehigh University In South
Bethlehem last night nnd got nway with
a mandolin, but left behind him In the
mouth of Jeff, the bulldog watchman, a
pieco of checkered trousers which the
students say will lend to an nrrest.
He nlso In a precipitate retreat de
serted a pushcart which ho had brought
with hlm to the fraternity house.
Tho piece of trousers that Jeff man
aged to get as the man cllmbdd over
tl.o fence Is similar to the materlnl In
tho ones worn by a thief who robbed
the frntcrnlty house Inst year. Jeff
caught hlm at thnt tlmo and the
students gave him a cold bath nnd al
lowed him to go.
Tho mnn wnB formerly an employe of
tho fraternity house. He was discharged
for stealing.
When Jeff sounded tho alarm Inst
night a rush of students clad In pajamas
was mado for tho man Jeff was vainly
trying to hold. If the cobble stones hnd
not been so discouraging to bare feet,
nnd If the strength ot the trousers had
been a little gientcr. the thief would
probably have been caught.
HOBOES' "WORK" INJURED
BY WAR, THEY WANT PEACE
J. Eads How's Brotherhood Appeals
to President Wilson.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.
Members of tho Brotherhood Welfare
Association for tho second tlmo yester
day decided that something must bo
dsno to stop tho war. It hurts busi
ness In tho hobo lines, they said, nnd,
what Is worse, nobody seems to caro
how much they suffer. Even If they
are driven to work, there nrc not enough
Jobs to co round, thev maintained.
Consequently, when Luther S. Bed
ford, who came to their meeting In tho
Manhattan Lyceum us tho representa
tive of the "United States of Europe,"
took the iloor nnd submitted a resolu
tion to ask President Wilson to call an
International congress to end the war
and form the waning countries Into
tho "United States of Europe," It was
passed with enthusiasm.
Another resolution proposed by J.
Eads How, oignnlzer of the hoboes as
the Brothorhood Wolforo Association,
ns an addition to Bedford's motion
that the hoboes protest against tho Dick
military bill, wan passed quickly. How
asserted that the bill would make mili
tary service compulsory, whereat there
were snorts of Indignation.
Alexander Law, secretary ot the meet
ing, announced that Nlsslni Bchnr. man
aging director of the National Liberal Im
migration League, nnd two business men
had been appointed ns a finance commit

Law read a letter from the secretary
of the Mayor In reply to a request made
to Mr. Mltchel by a commltteo of tho
hoboes to set a day for tho discussion of
tho question of providing more shelter In
cold weather for unemployed people. The

the Borough of Manhattan, the system
used In Philadelphia In hauling farm
products to the central parts of that city
by making use of the Philadelphia Rapid

LIKES TROLLEY TERMINAL
MARKETS.
"What Impressed me most In Philadel
phia. " said Mr. Marks, "was tho trolley
market terminals to which farm produce
Is brought by trolley cars. The street
car company has built the terminal at
its own xpense, nnd farmers along the
line simply ship their supplies In, thus
being saved the necebslty of driving in
with their wagons. I have suggested to
tho olllcers of tha Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company the establishment of such
a system of delivering Long Island farm
products to this city. We must gef the
railroad nnd trolley companies to develop
market terminals here."
On his trip to Philadelphia Mr. Marks
was accompanied by his w"lfe. He said
they were entertained by Mayor and Mrs
Rudolph Blankenburg, Morris L. Cooke.
Director of Public Works; A. Merritt
Taylor, Director of City Transit, nnd bj
William If. Bail, chief of tho Bureau of
City Property. By Invitation of Mr
Marks the Philadelphia olllclals named
will come to this city, and will be per

MRS. Hr.ATHS VISIT.
Mrs. Heath went to Philadelphia as the
guest of the Civic Club of that city. Ac
companied by -rs. William Lee, chair
man ot the Foods Committee. Mrs. Heath
made a tour of the market section, both

"I found produce was cheaper In the
