INDENTIFIES MURDERED |_ WOMAN AS HIS SISTER

A startling sequel to the investigntion of the alleged murder of a woman at Cape May Point aix weeks ago occurred here Saturday with the arrival of John F. Dowdy, of Waterbury, Conn. _ Since the discovery of the well-dressed blood rtained body of [the woman of November 16, several linvestigntions were made, in which men at Wissahickon Barracks . were figures, but without success. . News of the tragedy, however reached the ears of Dowdy, who made a hasty trip to Cape May, arriving here Fri|day evening. He was taken directly |to Coroner Thompson‘s Office, where after a brief examination of the hody, he identified it ms that of his sister, L c em One afternoon, during the first part of November, a tall fashionably dress|ed, rather stout woman of about thir ty-five arrived here and registered at |one of the Beach Front Hotelsas "Miss June Dougles, Brockton, Mess." From the time of her arrival here until the date of her disuppenrance, "Miss Douglas," as she termed herself, was a woman of mystery. | She seldom spoke to anyone and appeared to be deeply depressed. . The woman‘ remained at the Hotel about a week, and when leaving turned her trunk over to the management of the Hotel, saying she would return in a few days. The body was found near the water edge in a secluded spot at Cape May Point, but in its mangled could not be identified as that of "M Douglas" and attention was paid t States, but no one ef her description was reported missing. The matter rested until Saturday when. Dowdy, having been told of the affair by friend, and suspecting some connec

tion with his slater‘s dissapearance, {decided to come here and settle the | doubt. With tears in his eyes he proclaimed the woman to be his sister, Pet scouted all notion of the woman [having been murdered. . He stated imlzo that the women had had no dis jmstrous love affair, and declared that he thought that nervous depression which had been her ailment for years prompted her to commit suicide. breraprensemennnt WHY NOT AN AUTOMOBILE FACroRy? The Ford Farm, which has been in / use by the Government during the war, and which announcement | has Leen made that the Barracks are to be done away with, would make am ideal piace for an Automobile Factory. Tt is connected with the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and is situated along the harbor, which would afford a splendid opportunity to ship and to receive material by water. If cither Mr. Ford or some other | large automobile company . could be interested by our City EMirarreryetetn or Board of Trade, perhaps | some! pressure could be brought to hare whereby Gape May could find employ-| ment for a large force of men, besides ; it would add much to the business interest of our city.

DRAINING OF SALT MARSH LOCAL PROGRESS IN MOSQUITO CONTROL, DEVELOPMENT, IM» PROVEMENT AND ADVANCE MENT IN MOSQUITO CoN. TROL IN CAPE MAY, N. 1, In 1908 or 1908 when the first sur» vey of the mosquito situation was being made in the Cape May district of Cape May County, it was found that great hordes of salt marsh mosquitoas were in flight nearly all the time and the only time residents of this section found relief, was when there was & strong breeze blowing from the ccemm Since the Commission started the works of mosquito control, in 1916, thera has been a steady improvement until the past season, when only one flight of Sollicitans was recorder and this took place early in the summer, ntortly f=" ter the great North East storm, which swept along the coast, had. "so ob» structed ‘the drainiife system that 5t was impossible to get it clear before the first hatch. We claim ‘that the greatly reduced, mosquito prevalence obsorved in the southern part of the County, during the past two years, is directly the result of the Mosquito Commission‘s activities; and it must be evident to anyone who has carefully considered the wonderfully improved . conditions found through this section, that the expenditures for | morquito . control have already been repaid many times, Systematic mosquito control measures in any community, should in fact be looked upon as a paying business investment, and, what is still more important in Cape May County, as a definitely patriotic duty. We speak of mosquite control rather than mosquito extermination, because actual extermination will be impossible as lorg ms there are care less people, who through thoughtlcas» ness or ignorance of the great danger, leave open receptacles and depressions on their property to catch water, making numerous breeding places in the more thickly settled districts, More power should be given the County Commissions to compel property instead of having this power vested in the Board of Health. January 1918, the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Cape May County appropriated $10,000 to this Commission which has been applied entirely to the draining of salt marsh meadows, for the elimination or control of the snit marsh mosquitoes, the most numerous species in this County. As early in he season as the weather would permit the cleaning of the old ditching | was commenced and the men . were ‘kept bury at this work until all ditch B g, which was not found to be in per[fect condition, had been thoroughly |cleaned.
