NEW YORK. July 4.—That beer is an excellent liquid in which to deposit larvae by female mosquitoes, was proved by Richard T. Cadmus, one of the inspectors appointed for Bloom field, N. J., by the state mosquito ex termination commission. The Bloomfield Inspectors have com pleted their survey of the town and have been receiving congratulations on the efficiency of their work, with the exception of the locality bounded by Bloomfield avenue, Orange street. Crown street and Roosevelt avenue. In this section residents complained that the mosquitoes were both numer ous and large. A search failed to lo cate any breeding places in the neigh borhood complained of. whereupon Mr. Cadmus decided to make a thorough personal inspection of the locality. He started out yesterday and investigated closely almost every nook and corner in the territory complained of without finding the least spot where larvae could live. He was about to give up the search when he noticed a shed in the rear of a dwelling on Bloomfield •avenue. As he entered a swarm of mosquitoes arose and almost instantly enveloped him. As he mashed the mosquitoes with his hands. Mr. Cadmus, who' is a tem perance man. discovered a strong odor of stale beer. He also noticed that email swarms of mosquitoes that arose to attack him were compelled to alight and discovered that none attempted to ■fly. Over in a corner of the shed he (discovered four beer boxes, each hold ing 24 hotties, some of which were nearly full of beer, others half fuil, ■while others contained only a. few (spoonfuls and some were altogether empty, but every bottle was open. Removing one of the half-filled bot tles from a box he brought it out. to the light and he discovered that on the •top of the liquid a large amount of larvae floated. He secured two of these bottles and a dozen or so of the mos quitoes and then had all the other bot tles with their contents buried. lie has reported the affair to the commission and the larvae bred tn beer wil] be watched with interest.

PRYOR ST., ATLANTA NOT AND GOSSIP IN MONEY MARTS Capital Is Fast Becoming Rec onciled to a Progressive Candidate for President. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, July 4.—" Who is capita! for?” is the question asked on all sides. The cynic might reply "For capital.” That would have been a more accurate reply in any other presidential year than It Is today. Not a few capitalists of fore most rank are for the people. That state ment may be scoffed at. Yet It is true. Capital has learned that victories mav be won at too great a price. The most enlightened financiers have come to real ize that it might, be diplomatic to let the people have (heir own way at this junc ture. The "leave-us-alone.” stand-pat policy is admitted to be impractical, im possible at this stage of serial develop ment. • • • Capita]—more than half of it—has be come reconciled to a progressive candi date for president. * • • Here are the words of one of the three leatiing bankers in America, a stanch friend of last, formerly a supporter of Roosevelt, and an ardent Republican "I am sorry that the Republicans have renominated Taft and Sherman. They should have recognized the pro gressive spirit that is rampant throughout the country. At least, a progressive vice president, should have been chosen, although I understand three or four prominent governors de- . dined the nomination. The people want an administration that would be responsive to their will, and capital would be short-sighted if It tried to force an avowedly conservative ad ministration upon the country." * * ♦ "Is capital prepared, then, to support Roosevelt?" “Roosevelt's position Is not yet defi nitely settled. He says lie Is deter mined to run. but if the Democrats nominate a really strong, progressive man it is doubtful If a third party can be successfully organized. Mr. Roosevelt s bolt has not commanded tlie allegiance he anticipated.” • « ♦ "How would you and other financlert regard strong prospects of Democratic victory? Would there be a scare?” "No, there would not if a sensible candidate be named. The worst thing possible would be a three-cornered fight, for in that case nobody would be able to foresee the result. Three nominees stumping the country would be most unsettling. On the other hand, Taft and a. good Democrat would not have a disastrous effect. A Democratic victory would cause no stampede.” • • • 'Has Champ Clark any chance of get. ting the nomination? Would he be re garded as all right?” "Yes. Clark has a very good chance. He would be all right. So would Gov ernor Wilson.” • • • This lengthy Interview is given be cause it reflects the real views of an in fluential section of the financial commu nity. There is another faction, headed by the most powerful of all our capital istic groups, which is still deaf to the appeals of an awakened democracy for a larger share In the administration of tin nation s affairs This autocratic clique adheres to old-time tenets, that only the “ruling” class is capable of governing the country and that to give way one Inch would invite demoralization and disaster. Its dominating members look upon the agitation for certain reforms as nothing short of fire- tire that should be fought and extinguished. For once, therefore. Big Business may be divided in its support of a presiden tial candidate. Certainly at the moment no course of action has been agreed upon. 19
