PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1913. SLAiiv GIRL TO JOHNS, REPOR Couple Married at Atlantic City, It's Said. WORKING HARD ON JOHNS Dotectives Seek to Broak Down in Story Trying to Fix Identity of Fivo Men Seen Near Boathouso When Girl Met Death. Wiikesbarre, July 1C Authorities are Investigating the report that Alice Crlspell, the girl whose mysterious death lu Harvey's lake has re-Bulled In the holding of her sweetheart, 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 being 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 second autopsy which showed that she had been drowned. Of the tlirce theories which the autopsy showed to bo tenable, one, that she committed suicide, is generally held to bo inconsistent 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 quarrel 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 principals at the autopsy, for chemical examination. The uses of embalming fluid may make it impossible to determine whether the girl hnd been poisoned or drugged before her death without chemical analysis.

From a cursory examination of these organs those at the autopsy said that they believed that the analysis would not show either poison or drug. MISSING WOMAN FOUND. Mrs. Hannah Gold, Who Disappeared From Train, Is In Buffalo. Buffalo, July 10.

DISEASE FOLLOWS THE PEST Methods of Exterminating Deadly In sect Are Bringing Satisfacto'ry Results In Nearly Every City Minnesota 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 say government experts who hnvo been making a study of the results of the germ spreading activities of the insects. It Is estimated that the fly is re sponsible for an expenditure of 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 transporting 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 being sacrificed annually because no metliod has been devised for abolishing 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 campaign. After that the method consist ed principally of bringing to tho at tention of citizens by means of educational posters, letters and newspaper articles suggestions for fly eradication that had been tried out with boccoss, previously. A bulletin Issued by tho state entomologist of Minnesota embodies most of tho methods by which tho deadly pest may be exterminated and is a model for cities conducting or planning an anti-fly crusade. "In the early spring clear up all refuse 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 Minnesota entomologist "Screens should bo used freely on all doors and windows.

The prompt disposal of garbage should bo arranged for, and swill barrels and garbage cans should bo tightly 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 complain of him to your board of health. "A safe and effectlvo poison Is made by adding three teaspoonfuls of formalin In a pint of half milk and half water.

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 Inverted 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.

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 problem 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 scarecrows 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 Mr.

Doughty experimented 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 But Poll entered Into tho spirit of the thing In a way that exceeded 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 developed 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 outr Tho crows aro deserting Mr. Dough-ty's fields for those of other farmers whoro tho worst they havo to contend with Is bo mo ofllgy of a tramp they know by instinct to be harmless or, In rare Instances, a barefooted country boy with a rusty shotgun.
