National Campaign Begun in Washington With Moving Picture Films. DISEASE SPREADING PEST

Windy City Avers That He Is the Youngest "Man" of Learning in World. MURDER THEORY FAVORED

THROUGH EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC, IT IS HOPED WILL SOON BE A THING OF THE PAST IN AMERICA.

Washington. Fell. 2",. A national campaign of education for obliteration of the common house My has been started in Washington under the auspices of the American Civic association. Plans have been made to show the atrocities of the fly bv means of films supplied to moving picture theaters In cities, great and .small, in all parts of (he country. Original films made abroad for the association vvere used for t ie first tnne here yesterday. Copies will be made and tnt broadcast as soon as possible. It is hoped so to arouse the public to a sense of the dlsease-carryina; characteristics ot the house fly as to start a Hide movement to prevent it from breeding and thereby reduce its d-itipers to a minimum. Very soon pamphlets .telling how to eradicate the post will lie distributed widely. Already the association ias been be-i-iesed with inuuiries on the subject from many of the larger cities. Kdwrd Hatch, of New York, is chairman of the ily-liyht ing committee of the association. Seven Shows Arc Given. Seven audiences witnessed the moving pictures yesterday and heard addresses by Dr. I,. O. Howard, of t.ie bureau of entomology, Dr. Woodward.1 the local health officer and Richard I)., Watrou, secretary of the American Civic association. The audiences ' represented the medical fraternity, i congress, the medical corps of the arand the National -Tuberculosis association. Dr. Howard said that if it were com-' nionly known what dangerous t'ting3 I'cvtse files were there would be a thoroughly descriptive name for them. Pitch as the ' typhoid fly" or the "'cholera fly." lie said that a careful computation had shown that the American people were spending $10,000,000 a year for fly screens. Washington could get rid of ninety-nine out of one hundred flies if the health regulations regard jng manure in stables could lie enforced, he dodo red. Life Drama of the Fiy. The film which shows the life drama of- the "typhoid fly" presents flies in magnified sizes as large as hens and in some Instances as huge as cattle. It shows the rather disgusting, hairy appearance of the flies' feet. A most interesting picture' shows the eggs just as the baby flies break through and wiggle away. The next stage in fly life is shown by a picture of the youthful fly burrowing into the ground, and finally a wingless young one pushes his way from the earth, and. throwing out his chest, walks off to t-:ke a stroll into some one's dining room. At twelve days of age the "typhoid fly" is a full-grown, strong-winged germ carrier, and is shown on the screen as big as a turkey. Half a dozen of them crawl about on two mackerel, which evidently have been reposing on a fish wharf for several days and which appear as big as sharks. And then these same flies are seen having a feast in some one's sugar bowl. Then a baby's nursing bottle with a typhoid fly crawling on the nipple is shown, and in a flash a picture shows a very contented baby sucking away regardless of typhoid fly or anything else. A supper will be given at the Christian church Saturday evening. Public invited. Price ''ctc. H HER WIT SAVES HER Woman Attacked by Insane Husband Pretends that She Is Dead.

(.Copyright l'Jlo by New York Journal.) Jim Corbett is among those who have some doubt about Jeffries being able to go a long distance fight with Jack Johnson. Corbett advocates Jeffries taking on two good fighters for twenty rounds each some tiine prior to the great world's championship contest, and in case Jeffries proves himself equal to the great staying powers required in a forty-round battle, he believes the question of Jeffries's condition will be definitely settled. In this fight Corbett, with his great footwork has the champion guessing. Corbett jabbed the big fellow again and again and the eleventh round Jeffries was groggy. But his marvelous vitality pulled him through while Corbett began to slow up. The fight ended in the twenty-third round when Corbett backed into the ropes. He bounded back and ran plump into Jeffs left with his paw. He dropped like a wet towel and never stirred until he had been carried out to his corner.

DIAMOND CHIPS Shooting game is a favorite winter diversion of the ball players. It is not recorded, though, that the most accurate pitchers and throwers are also the most accurate performers with the rifle or the shotgun far be it from such. For the first time since he has been associated with the game, President Frank Farrell of the Highlanders will this year make the trip south. Mr. Farrell purposes going to Athens about March 1(, and sticking to the finish with his club. Many of the base ball critiques written in these cold storage times are inclined to discredit the New York Giants. As long as Christie Matthewson is working the team need not be utterly downcast. Andrada. a stock, Spanish pitcher, whom the Clevelands farmed out last season, made good in the minors and showed fine quality. McGuire doesn't seem to figure on trying him again, though. MieGraw thinks the gigantic Kieber. one of the newest pitchers, will become a star. What chance, if the boy is kept sitting on the bench while the vets do all the work? Wonder where Dr. Marshall, turned loose by Brooklyn, will light? The Doe is a great tutor for young pitchers and a wise old owl all around. Johnny Kvers is one who does not think that Johnny Kling will be back into base ball so readily as most people imagine. Johnny had a little experience himself with the national commission last year. He was fined 1t!t for not reporting to the Cubs in the spring of It his. And Johnny had a letter from C. W. Murphy, granting him a year's leave of absence. By the way, the old boys who stole so many bases in the past didn't wear the thick sliding pads of the present time. If modern players were asked to take those slides without armor they'd howl purple murder. You never hear of Claude Elliott I now, and but little of Cecil Ferguson. Two fine young pitchers who were kept sitting on MoGraw's bench so i long that they got rusty and forgot ! most of their original skill. j It is said that there will be a great ' battle on when the Pittsburg club starts its training for the position of i first base. Flynn seems to have the j call on the position, but Bud Sharpe. who was with the Newark club, will give Flynn a great tilt for the job. It is said that Flynn has a little on Sharpe in the hittiur line. New Yorkers will remember George Davis, who played at the Polo I Grounds years ago. George has just been let out by the White Sox and given his unconditional release. He and "Kid" Gleason worked like a" piece of machinery in this city. Davis has put n twenty years of h'gh-class base ball In the big league. He knew the game and all the tricks of it, and was one of the players who could be depended

upon. It is said that Davis will land a job as manager of a minor league club, and he should make a good one. New York Globe.

Ban B. Johnson may not be the most popular base ball man in the game, but it is easy to see why they make it possible for him to earn several thousands a year for the next twenty year. Johnson has been in the right on every point of base ball discussion that has arisen, and his judgment is close to infallible. Notice where the Cubs' owner gets off in all his arguments with the big fellows? CANDY TROST NOW BEING ORGANIZED Scheme Is to Have Corn Products Companies Make Cheap Grades.

HE USES ABSTRUSE TERMS

FENTON TURCK, JR., AT THE AGE OF SEVEN YEARS. IS AN EX PERT BIOLOGIST SOME OF HIS PERFORMANCES. Chicago. Feb- 23 With a pink cov erlet fallitg away from his chubby neck and his bobbed brown hair greatly awry from the circumstance of its recently having been slept upon, one of the youngest living scientists sat up in bed last evening and opened his sleep heavy eyes just long enough to glance through his microscope and observe: "That's no yeast. That's a blood slide." Saying which, he resumed hia fourteen hours or sleep that the extremely young scientific and othersreally should have every night. It was the close of a trying day for Fenton Turck. Jr., who, if you stretch a point, can boast the age of seven. It was star day at the microscopical society exhibition, . and young Mr. Turck was there all day with microscope and slides of hia own preparing, which he cheerfully explained to host? of elderly women, who, according to his own statement, seemed to him uncommonly stupid. Not one of them knew tlie difference between the spirojira and the amoeba, although, as young Mr. Turck explains with a deprecating lisp, "one is a plant, while the other is an animal it's just as easy." He's Not Self-Conscious. There is just one thing in life which this younger child of an eminent physician takes as a matter of course, and that is his passion for biological science. This fact, combined with the other one that his mother is most solicitous that he shall not become selfconscious, makes it a little difficult to get anything like an autobiographical account of his career thus far. "Would you mind telling me what that toy is?" asked the interviewer at a hazard, casting about the nursery, where there were all sorts of things growing in tubs. "That," said the great man. glancing at it with the eye which was awake and rubbing the one which had gone to sleep, "is a liverwort. I grow plants for specimens In my nursery." And then he laughed a little juvenile chuckle. "By the time I buy all my slides and specimens I haven't hardly any allowance left." No, Not a Pathologist. '"Are you a pathologist?" asked the interviewer, therewith using her one scientific term. "O. no," retorted the scientist. "My father doesn't allow me to go Into pathology. All I can do is to examine a specimen, say of the stomach or the liver, and if it is all right, report 'no bacili.' I know the architecture of the liver and the stomach, though." His father and his mother say that since he has been able to observe at all, he has been forever on the lookout' for scientific phenomena. HOT MANY CHANGES PLANNED BY MEEK Only Two or Three of the Present Infirmary Employes Will Retire. WILL GET SALARY BOOST AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE FIS CAL YEAR, SEPTEMBER 1, THE COMMISSIONERS HAD TOLD HIM TOWNSEND SILENT. General, but not sweeping changes will be made in the minor officials of the county infirmary, under the regime of Harry C. Meek, who succeeds Francis Townsend, the present superintendent, March 10. Jasper Steele and Townsend's son will leave the in stitution with Mr. Townsend, but their successors have not been selected. The present women employes will be retained, temporarily, at least, Mr. Meek stated this noon, that his salary for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends September 1, would be the same as at present. However, he has been given to understand that after that date the salary will be increased. Mr. Meek will make several changes in the operation of the Institution. Mr. Townsend was in the city today, but other than stating that he wished to go back on the farm, he confided nothing to his friends as to the cause for his resignation. He said that he would remain in charge until March 1. TO QUIET TITLE. Benjamin F. and Hardin H. Peelle of Centerville have filed quiet title proceedings in the circuit court against Ennis Shoemaker.

The body of Ed PalSenger, who was either murdered and his body thrown into quicksand at Plainview, Texas, or who died as the result of becoming mirred in the quicksand, several weeks ago. will probably b exhumed and brought to this place for burial. The mystery, regarding Mr. Ballenger's death, has never been satisfactorily cleared, some of his friends even thinking that he is still alive, although Jtaey can not explain why he would not write to relatives and friends if such was the case. At the time of his reported death, it w as also said that he bad about $1,000 on his person. HOWLING MOB WAS DEPRIVED VICTIM Demand Life of Negro Brute, But Are Shown He Is Not in Jail. DEPUTY PREVENTS FIGHT HE PERMITS DELEGATION OF MOB LEADERS TO SEARCH THE JAIL FOR THE MAN WHO ASSAULTED A CHILD. (American News Service) Dallas. Tex.. Feb. 23. A mob of nearly 1,000 men and boys shortly after 2 o'clock this morning swarmed about the Dallas county jail demanding the negro, Allen Brooks, who Wednesday afternoon attacked Ethel Beuvins, 2i years old. A committee of six. headed by the father of the child attacked, searched the jail and failed to find the negro. Inside the jail the entire police force and the county's sheriffs and other civil officers were barricaded, with drawn revolvers, while the mob had a thirty-foot steel rail with which the members proposed to batter down the doors of the building. Amid hoarse cries from the multitude a deputy sheriff wormed his" way out of the courthouse doors to the steps, where he attempted to address them. Tried to Calm Them. His assurance that the negro was not in jail was drowned out by the demands of the leaders that Brooks be turned over to them. Shouting at the top of his voice, the deputy proposed that the mob satisfy itself before storming the court bouse that his statement was true by sending a deputation of six men inside to inspect the building. "Only six, and no more." the deputy stated. The leaders of the mob then sent in a committee of six to search the jail. The committee then reported to the mob its failure to locate Brooks. Many of the besiegers then departed. Further efforts will be made to find the negro and if he is found he will be lynched. A DIVORCE REFORM (American News Service) London.
