Wants Additional Service Via
Old Dominion
Steamers.
The movement for a night mall sc r- J
vice between Richmond and Norfolk
and intermediate river points vin the]
tild Dominion steamers received new
impetus yesterday when the Industrial
League of Claremont took action to
secure this service by application to
ttie (Second Assistant Postmaster-Gen?
eral. Residents of Claremont particu?
larly feel the Isolation of their posi?
tion with respect to postal facilities,
and arc anxious that the night ser?
vice be installed.
Richmond -.as rtvi-li"'ns Norfolk have
always regarded the phn with favor,
as has also Newport N* ,.*s. At pres?
ent the afternoon mails for Norfolk

Iniltistrinl League Acts.
The letter written yesterday by the

isolated situation of the immediate

Department to install i night service

interview with President Walker, of
the setamship company, in which ho
stated that his company was wilting,
to carry the malls free of cost until
the arrival of the regular time for
entering Into new mail contracts.
The Industrial Leagu ? had informa?
tion tb the effect that the chances for
securing the service would be im?

UNITED STATES DEPOSITAR
Tells Agents They Can't Sell
Tickets for Both Leagues, but
Later Withdraws Order.
Thru Hio local club in tho Virgin la
League will pass up no opportunity to
mako the path of the united states
League' as hard and arduous as possi?
ble was demonstrated yesterday! nf
ter The Time*-Dispatch printed a list
of the merchants who would place on
sale tickets of admission to Lee Park,
Tiiese merchants, exponents of the
progressive: for Richmond, were lii
formod by telephone, from the oltico
of W. it. Bradley, president of tho
Richmond club In the Virginia Lea?
gue that th< y could not sell tickets
to Loth Uroad Streit und Lee l'.nk.
After tho selling agents protested, thf*
message was altered, and the mer?
chants 'were told that they could con?
tinue selling tickets for Virginia Lea?
gue games.
Such action on the part of the Vir?
ginia Dengue magnates is In direct
Variance with the statement Issued
from the camp of the United States
League. President Landgraf has an?
nounced time atol again that he would
not light the Virginia League. In a
statement made to The Tlmes-Dis
i patchy several weeks ago. Landgraf
said: "We have no light with either
the Virginia or any other league. We
are coming In lb Richmond t" matte
money and to give the fans an hrllclo
Of hasehall which Wo hope and believe
they will like. If they like the brand
we are offering better than they like
any other brand offered, then We may
expect their patronage as largely; we
Will have earned it. But If wo lull
down on the Job, we will have to lake
the result."
Comment?not all of which has been
favorable?hns been made upon this
latest action of the Virginia League
magnate. Indeed, it formed tho topic
of general conversation In the busi?

Judge Waddill Declares $1,500
Mortgage on Broad Rock

Judge Waddill in the United States
District Court yesterday, declined to
allow tlie claim of the Manchester
National Bank for $1,600 against th.*
! roperty of the Broad Rock Distilling
Company, declared by the court to be '
forfeit to the government. Common?
wealth's Attorney llasklns Mobson, uf
Chi t'.ovlleld county, and Willis C. Pul

the !onk. while .ludse Waddill stat< 1
the claims of Che government.

Clarence B. Wood, owner of tin- i
Broad Rock Distilling Compivny, in !
falling to mention this Obligation had
Med with the government a iraudu- j
lent bond, since the revenue laws ?
stipulate that no government distillery;
shall be encumbered. Counsel for the I
distillery presented Wood, who tcsii-j
lied that he had no knowledge of tb- |
Manchester National Rank claim until I
afi. r he had bought and paid for the j
distillery, and that the obligation was
assumed by the original owner of the!
plant, who made no mention of it In j
the bill of,sale.
Government Uns l'rlor l.ien. I
Despite the fact that the mortgage'
on the plant was duly recorded, and
has never been s-atislled. Judge Wad?
dill ruled that the government's claim
took precedence over that of the
bank, and that the mortgage was In?
validated by the expre-s provision in
i the revenue laws which forbids any
distillery premises declared forfeit,

aeclicides continue strong. "nil s few
i who have Implicit faith In science, |
and enn afford it, are spreading V-ero- :
sene oil on the surface of stagnant
pools.
It requires courage of the loftier:
kind to pour real 15-cent kerose.no on i
the troubled waters, hut the profes?
sors say that it is the only real dope, j
The greatest obstacle In Ifte way of j
the popularity of this method is flier]
fact that the kerosene plan can't bei
appreciated without a laboratory dctn-l
onatration. This requires n high pow
? ? '.i.lcrojseope, whleli cannot always be'
secured. One can understand that t.iej
Dim of oil on the surface of a hotly of
water would prey.' discouraging to a
female fly looking around for a place
in which to deposit her cuss?that the
oily skim would denature nil eggs
previously deposited there?hut It If
not half as exciting as actually swat?
ting the fly or mosquito with one'*
I hare hand and seeing him expire. N<
i microscope is needed lo show proof oi
death.
I So while the City He 1th Department
will continue to tight the fly with
kerosene and other petroleum pro?
ducts, the average Rlchmomler will
rely upon toe old standbys, scrccp
I doors, flypaper, flytraps, and the hu

I household use. and they have produced
I results since old colony day*.
To the laymen who has only his
limited human experience to guide

on every mudhole. A new Iseatmont
would Vie needod after overy rain.
But they do It on the Isthmus, and

Of course, It's right; science nays so
