Consolidation of the board of con- trol of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station, and the board of trustees of the Connecticut Agricul- tural college, is thought advisable. In the matter of public health and public health laws the commission ald not have to make the thorough study necessary for a comprehensive report with recommendations, It did find that there is an increasing con- fidence and hope, backed by concrete proofs, “that an improved public health is a purchasable article. In other words, we are unnecessarily gacrificing the lves of some two thousand individuals in tne state every vear, and are needlessly careless of the health, vigor and productive efficlency of many more thousands of persons living under industrial con- ditions.” 105 Pages in Volume. The commissions report is 106 pages in volume and is made up of several parts. There are the recommenda- tions individually considered, accom- panied by the text of a bill to carry through legislation recommended. Then comes an argument by the com- mission to support its contentions, and a description of the duties performed by the department or commission, and its cost of maintenance, Statistics Given. In an appendix statistics are given condensed from departmental reports. Arguments are submitted for and against paid and unpaid commissions, specific conclu- sions on these. In Connecticut, at least, it has been demonstrated that unpaid com- missions, who choose their own execu- tive officers, can secure the services of men of the first class and are decided- ly preferable to other forms of com- missions:— Closes With Exhibit. The report closes with an exhibit covering the personnel of examining boards in other states. The report in detail shows that the | commission held 36 hearings, two in- formal conferences with oyster grow- ers, two with agriculturalists, two with labor interests, one with the manufacturing interests, and devoted necessary and proper functions of a public health department. The report is signed by: Willlam H. Carmalt, Howell Cheney, Frnest P. Chesbro, George E. Hill, Edward K. Root, Dudley L. Vaill, James E. Wheeler, and Lucius ‘Whiton. Mr. Lewis Sperry, who was appointed was unable to serve. Messrs. Whiton, Vaill and Chesbro are mem- bers of the General Assembly.

NEUTRALITY LAW BEING VIOLATED Collector Malone Claims British Crui- sers Are Receiving Supplies from Organization in New York. New York, April 6.—Dudley I Malone, collector of the port of New Yark, made a final tour of the New York and Hoboken, N. J., water fronts before daylight today in his effort to prevent violation of the neutrality of this port by an organization which he charges has been formed here to furnish supplies to British cruisers ly- ing off New York. The trip along the wharves made in the destroyer MacDougall, one of the naval vessels stationed here to guard the neutrality of the port. Mr. Malone declared that he in- tended to ask the federal grand jury to take action at once against an or- ganization which, he said, appeared to be engaged in a conspiracy to violate the president’s proclamation of neu- trality. Evidence which the collec- tor has obtained, it is understood, will be submitted to the grand jury. This, together with information obtained by agents of the collector, he asserted, tends to show that a fleet of large tug boats has been sought by the organization having headquarters in a New York heotel to move supplies from various points to the British warships which have been watching the entrance to New York harbor al- most since the beginning of the war. At Mr. Malone’'s request two more destroyers are expected to arrive here within a few days to aid in prevent- was ing violations of neutrality. The collector is proceeding under the provisions of a resolution passed by congress on March empowering the president to direct collectors of ports to refuse clearance to vessels carrying arms, ammunition or sup- piies to warships of a belligerent na- tion. Under this resolution masters of American vessels used f uch purposes are liable to a fine of from $2,000 to $10,000 and imprisonment not to exceed two years, and their ves- sels are subject to forfeiture to the United States.

Among his callers stricken was former President Taft, an intimate friend of long standing, who appointed Mr. Guild special am- bassador to Mexico on the occasion of the centennial celebration of that re- public in 1910, and a year later sent him as ambassador to Russia. Mr, Guild was born in Boston Feb- 1860. He was governor chusetts from 1906 to 190%. Preliminary arrengements were made for holding the funeral in the Arlington' Street Upitarzan church at noon on Friday. Other details of the funera] will be arranged at a meeting of Mr. Guild's friends tomorrow. Noted Public Speaker. He attained unusual distinction as a public speaker though his ability to address an audience with ease in any one of several languages. His vigor and influency as an orator in4 English, displayed in many republican party campaigns, led Col. Roosevelt to select him as a speaking compan- ion in his stumping tour of the west in 1900. 1909, at the invitation of the Swiss government and Geneva uni- versity, he delivered an addr in French at the 350th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. He repre- sented the American Unitarian asso- ciation on this occasion and the cniver- sity awarded him the degree of Doc- tor of Sacred Tieology. He had a string of degrees from other universi- ties. President Taft, in 1910, designated Mr. Guild as special ambassador to represent the United States at the centennial celebration of the inde- pendence of Mexico) and at one of the functions in Mexico City he gave an address in Spanish. While he was governor he surprised some Japancse visitors to Massachusetts by saying a few word to them in their own tongue. and with a brief speech in Italian he welcomed the Duke of the Abruzzi. after he was Mr. Guild’s work as a writer began | while he was at Harvard college, where for a time he was an editor of the Crimson and in his senior year edited the Lampoon. On leaving col- lege he entered the office of the Bos- ton Commercial Bulictin, a weekly trade paper founded by his father, and his editorial connection with the pa- per, of which he later ‘became sole owner, continued throughout his life. In the war with Spain, Mr. Guild, who at the time was Brigadier Gen- eral in the Massachusetts militia, served on the staff of General Fitz- hugh Lee, with the rank of lieuten- ant colonel, and as inspector general of the Seventh Army Corps. Was Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Guild, who was born in Boston in 1860, served three terms as lieu- tenant governor before he was first chosen governor in 1906. At the re- publican national convention in 1908 he received seventy-five votes for the vice-presidential nomination. An incident of Mr. Guild's first term as governor was the presentation of a petition, signed by 116,000 persons, for the pardon of Charles L. Tucker, under sentence of death for the mur- der of Miss Mabel Page at Weston. The trial of Tucker had been one of the most notable in Massachusetts criminal histo: and he had been con- victed on circumstantial evidence. rovernor Guild made a thorough in- vestigation of the case, granting hear- ings to the petitioners and visifing the scene of the murder. He refused to grant the petition and Tucker was executed. FIFTY-THREE DEATHS IN MARCH Tespon: Other le More | Cause.
