SLAiiv GIRL W
TO JOHNS, REPOR
Couple Married at Atlantic
City, It's Said.
WORKING HARD ON JOHNS
Dotectives Seek to Broak Down H in
Story Trying to Fix Identity of Fivo
Men Seen Near Boathouso When
Girl Met Death.
Wiikesbarre, Pa., July 1C Author
ities are Investigating the report that
Alice Crlspell, the girl whose mysteri
ous death lu Harvey's lake has re
Bulled In the holding of her sweet
heart, Herbert Johns, was married to
Johns at Atlautlc City In June.
The district attorney refuses to nf
linn or deny the alleged marriage, and
detectives who are at work on the case
refuse to commit themselves on this
new feature. Every effort Is now be
ing made to determine the Identity of
five men who were seen walking from
the dliectlon of the boathouso a few
minutes after the girl Is believed to
have met her death.
The detectives are working on the
theory that Johns mot the four men
reported near the boathouso by two
witnesses who saw Johns walking
with un apparently Intoxicated girl
and that after leaving her ho joined
this party.
Want Johns Held.
The detectives arc working hard to
break down Johns' story. Application
will be made to have him released on
a writ of habeas corpus, and they wish
to find evidence which will support
their request that he still be held.
No Incentive for the death of Miss
Crlspell has been revealed by the sec
ond autopsy which showed that she
had been drowned. Of the tlirce theo
ries which the autopsy showed to bo
tenable, one, that she committed sui
cide, is generally held to bo inconsist
ent witli the ascertained facts. The
other theories are that she met death
by accidentally falling into the lnlio or
was thrust into the water after a quar
rel with some person, only slight force
being used.
The organs of the girl's body have
been taken to Now York by Drs. T. D.
Lehane and J. II. Larkln, the princi
pals at the autopsy, for chemical ex
amination. The uses of embalming
fluid may make it impossible to deter
mine whether the girl hnd been poi
soned or drugged before her death
without chemical analysis. From a
cursory examination of these organs
those at the autopsy said that they be
lieved that the analysis would not
show either poison or drug.

Buffalo, July 10. Mrs. Hannah Goid,

COST IN DOLLARS
UV
Scientists Say Fly Costs Us
Over $100,000,000 a Year.
DISEASE FOLLOWS THE PEST
Methods of Exterminating Deadly In
sect Are Bringing Satisfacto'ry Re
sults In Nearly Every City Minne
sota State Entomologist's Report a
Model For All to Follow.
Figured out iu money, to say noth
ing of the loss In human life, the cost
to tho United States annually of sup
lortitig its fly population amounts to
$157,S00,0OO, say government experts
who hnvo been making a study of the
results of the germ spreading activi
ties of the insects.
It Is estimated that the fly is re
sponsible for an expenditure of $30,-
000,000 for tho handling of tubercu
losis cases, attributable to germs
spread by tho pests, while $70,000,000
represents the cost of typhoid fever
eases, originating in the same way.
As a carrier of intestinal fever and
summer complaint diseases and a trans
porting ngency of dysentery tho fly,
scientists say, must bo charged with
an expenditure of 37,200,000 for tho
care of these diseases.
The statistics and tho realization
that thousands of human lives aro be
ing sacrificed annually because no
metliod has been devised for abolish
ing tho fly explain why health officials
generally and tho health departments
of practically every municipality this
summer aro making active efforts to
arouse citizens to the importance of
keeping tho pests away from their
food supplies and places of habitation.
Results Aro Gratifying.
Satisfactory results aro being obtain
ed In nearly every city whoro anti-fly
campaigns aro in progress. In almost
every one thero has been a noticeable
falling off in tho size of the. pest horde,
a fact that Is almost dally commented
upon by tho Inspectors of the local
health departments.
In most cities tho warfaro on tho fly
was inaugurated with a cleanup cam
paign. After that the method consist
ed principally of bringing to tho at
tention of citizens by means of educa
tional posters, letters and newspaper
articles suggestions for fly eradication
that had been tried out with boccoss,
previously.
A bulletin Issued by tho state ento
mologist of Minnesota embodies most
of tho methods by which tho deadly
pest may be exterminated and is a
model for cities conducting or plan
ning an anti-fly crusade.
"In the early spring clear up all ref
use heaps, filth of all kinds, manure
piles, garbage heaps, old cam, trash
of every sort and abolish ea far as
pbsfilblo other places wliero flies may
brood," statoa the report of tho Min
nesota entomologist "Screens should
bo used freely on all doors and win
dows. The prompt disposal of garbage
should bo arranged for, and swill bar
rels and garbage cans should bo tight
ly closed. Uso oorao form of fly trap
with tho proper bait and continuously
place It wbcro It will do the most
good."
Other Precautionary Measures.
Other precautions suggested by the
Minnesota official and indorsed by
health authorities everywhere aro the
following:
"Do not build a stable near dwelling
houso; arrango for prompt removal of
stablo manure from your vicinity and
keep mannro covered and In dark until
removed. Keep, your premlece clean,
as free as posslblo frqm filth of all
kinds, slop water, garbage nnd refuse
heaps, If your neighbor allows such
nuisances upon his own premises com
plain of him to your board of health.
"A safe and effectlvo poison Is made
by adding three teaspoonfuls of forma
lin In a pint of half milk and half wa
ter. This Is particularly useful where
flies do not have access to other
sources of moisture. It should be kept
out of tho reach of children and might
bo placed In a Mason fruit Jar Invert
ed In a shallow dish and bo arranged
as to feed the liquid Into tho dish as
fast as needed, or It might bo poured
into an open dish and placed near the
sink or wherever flies, gnthes. Other
sources of moisture should bo kept
away from them."
RELIC OF ROAD AGENT DAYS.
Century Old Express Safe Pound In a
Stone Wall.
While repairing tho state highway
at tho top of Conoeocheaguo mountain,
near Concord, Md., Ralph nopplo and
Ellas Bnyder, who wero tearing down
a stone wall, found an express money
box of heavy sheet Iron, lined with
wood. Tho lid was partly open, and
tho lock had been sprung with an Iron
hook found near tho box.
It is thought tho box was In tho old
Btone wall for more than a century
and was placed there by a gang of
robbers that infested that section In
tho days of stagecoaches.

If perchance you find yourself blaz
ing this summer llko n peony from car
to er with that unlovely redness of
complexion which no amount of pow
der can subdue a few words of advice
may not come amiss. This condition,
known to medicine as erythema, Is al
most as fatal to beauty' as tho pale
ness of anaemia.
To better tills defect you must begin
at once with activo measures. See to
it that your clothes are loose at neck
and waist. No matter how much you
admire that tight, high, stylish collar
on your new dress, it must bo sacri
ficed. In tho morning before dressing
take some simple bending exercises,
as that congested circulation of yours
must bo stirred Into activity.
Bathe Uio face at least two or three
times a week with the following lo
tion: Zinc sulphate, one dram; potas
sium sulphide, one dram; roeowatcr,
two ounces. Mix thoroughly.
Then for dlefrfor the full blooded
woman must give especial heed to that
give up your dally sweets, rich pas
tries or pies, eat meat only three times
a week and confine your daily faro as
nearly as posslblo to fresh vegetables
and fruits, especially tho add fruits.
Drink plenty of lemonade, with very,
very little sugar In ft, preferably none,

TRAINED PARROT FOUND
THAT BEATS SCARECROW.
Polly Cries "Get Out, Get Out!" and
Crows Flee.
Aaron Doughty, a farmer of Harps
well Center, lower Caseo bay, In
Malno, believes he has solved tho prob
lem of keeping the crows out of his
cornfields. The corn that grows in
that vicinity attains unusual size and
sweetness. The farmers get big prices
for their product and are obliged to
wage continual warfaro against tho
crows. Tho latter are unusually bold
this year and seem to havo littlo fear
of dead members of their kind swung
from bean poles or from other scare
crows of time honored type.
Driven to desperate measures, Mr.
Doughty bought a parrot and for a
month devoted himself to teaching the
bird to chase crows away from his
corn fie His. Every time ho saw a crow
bo would start running townrd It, wav-
rlng hlstarms and loudly shouting "Get
out, get out!"
Poll was an interested obeervcv and
In no time was screeching, "Gel out,
got outT
When tho bird had learned that tho
farm was his ,botno Mr. Doughty ex
perimented tn giving Poll bia liberty
when ho chased crows. Aa bo hoped,
tho Imitative parrot flow after him,
raucocsly crying Its warning. It went
even further.
Mr. Doughty bad not expected the
bird would do anything but fly toward
the field, thus frightening tho crows
a way with his mysterious human
sounding .words. But Poll entered Into
tho spirit of the thing In a way that ex
ceeded nB expectations. Ho not only
flew to tho cornfield, but kept right on
after the retreating crows, chasing
them sometimes a quarter of a mile
boforo returning to tho cage. Poll de
veloped a particular hatred for the
crowifamlly.
One of Poll's favorite tricks Is to
walk slowly through tho grass until
nearly in tho midst of a flock. Poll
certainly gives tho crows a shock when
ho 'Jumps into tho air after them,
his brilliant plumage shining in the
sun, shrilly Bhrleklng "Get out, get
