JERSEY CITY. X. J.. Aug.
Agents of the mommissioners were ‘
sent today to terminals of all‘
railroads entering this city to put into
elect the order of the commissioners
placing a ban on the storage of am—
munition in cars or upon piers in this
city and upon its shipment througill
' this city to steamers going to Europe. .
This action was taken because of the f
great explosion of ammunition at
(Black Toni island. Sunday morning.
The order becomes effective 'iomor-
mw afternoon. All the railroads hav-
ing terminals here have received no-‘
tire to discontinue moving the war
explosives through tile city. The or—'
der directs that every freight traizi‘
coming into Jersey City must be halt-‘
ed at the city line. where the conductor
will he. required to show his manifest
and if this reveals that any of the
cars contain explosives. these cars
will be excluded.
it was said today that the behlgh
Valley Railroad and the Central Rail-
- road of New Jersey, the chief shippers
' of the fntordicted freight, had placed
an embargo On further shipments of
explosives. Officials of some of the
other railroads threatened to obtain
injunctions restraining the commis-
sioners from barring explosives.
Two more bodies were found today
floating in New York Bay within a few
rods of the scene of the expioalon.‘
One of the bodies was identified as
that of Captain Cornelius Leyden.
chief of the lsehigh Valley Railroad
police. The finding and identification
of Leyden's body paves the. may for
the prosecution of those who may be
found responsible for the explosion.
ln complaints upon whlc warrants
have been issued and se ed npon
four persons. the death of Leyden is'
made the basis of individual charges:
of manslaughter, but to make out the:
case it was necessary to have. the
body found and identified. Two other
bodies found in the vicinity of the ex-
plosion still remain unidentified.

The salt marsh area of Norwalk is
drained and free from mosquito breed-
ing. Approximately three miles due
east from Washington street. the
undrained marshes of Westport are
breeding mosquitoes on a huge scale.
As the salt marsh variety only is
migratory and has a radius of action
of about ten miles. it is plain to be
seen that Norwalk is unfortunate in
being located so near to Westport.
About July 16.30, Westport was settled,
and as late as July, 1916. the settlers
