Hodley Drinks - pam With Suicidal Inteat GRIEVED BY BOY'S MARRIAGE Woman Tclephones to Neighbors After Making ‘Attempt at Seif De- struction—Antidotes Stave Off EX- tects of Poison—Prior Bound Over. Heartbroken because her son, Earl W., had violated his promjiise not to wed until he was thirty years old, Mrs. Edgbert M. Healey of Red Stone Hill drank a quantity of laudanum at her home, apparently icidal intent, and a few minutes later seemingly regretting her rash act, telephoned to neighbors to tell that she was about to die from polsoning. Physicians hastily called, administered antidotes and got the poison out of her system before it had 'made much progress In its deadly work. Announcement” was made a few days ago of the marriage of Mrs. Healey’s son to Miss Dorothy Marion Hayes of Winsted which took place at the SBouth church parsonage in New Britain on April 14,; When Mrs. Healey learned of the' wedding, it is said, she became considerable wrought up and she has since appeared greatly depressed. She is said to have ob- Jected to her son's marrying at least until he became thirty years of age and she claimed to have secured his promise te remain a bachelor while in his twenties. His succumbing to the darts of Cupid during the 'for- bidden time is said to have affected his mother to such an extent that she contemplated sutcide. Other troubles are reported to have been disturbing the woman, who is of very nervous temperament, her at- tempt at self destruction resulting. Prior Bound Over. Convinced that his only hope of cure from the liquor habit lies in & vacation at the state farm for' in- ebriates, Justice A, H. Condell yester- day afternoon bound over to the su- perior court Charies . Prior, brought before him as a common drunkard. Justice Condell believes that Prior should be committed to the state in- stitution and as the local court can- not take jurisdiction to that extent he turned the case over to a higher tri- fbunal. Prior was taken to Jjaft after the hearing to await trial before the June term of ‘the supreme court. The young men is a physical wreck as the result of excessive use of liquor. His relatives think that leniency fre- quently shown him by the court has not had the desired effect and they Tecommended that he be sent to the state farm. Prior is a well educated and capable young man and when not saturated with alcohol is a good citi- zen. Drink is his only enemy and the authorities are hopeful that a term at the state farm will be of benefit to him. . A Dobruck Pays Up. Deolaring that an additional pen- alty should be imposed to impress on him the advisability of showing re- spect for conmstituted authority, Jus- tice Condell severely criticised John Dobdbruck of New Britain, when he:was brought before him late yesterday for SOME 600D ADVICE Strengthened by New Britain Experi- ences. \ Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect.

Here's one of the many statements from New Bri- tain people. Mrs. A. W. Plumb, 82 Elm St., New Britain, says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have given good satisfaction when- ever I hive used them.

At the timd of his orisinal appear- ance he pleaded against any juds- ment that would force him:to go to jail and Justice Condell imposed a fine, placing the accused=on probation until”he could settle.

Local physiclans are viewing with considerable apprehension the. prog- reas made by’ smallpox ‘in ' various places In this section and they admit they will not surprised if there is an outbreak of the disease in Plminville. ‘The doctors are taking all precautione and they are hopeful that the town will escape the plague aithough the prospects are not particularly bright.’ The large number of cases of chick- en pox they fear is liable to make people careless, the victime failing to have diagnosis made. Except for the appearances of the skin there is no similarity bstween chicken pox and smallpox. The former is but a trivial disease and but little attention is paid to it. Nevertheless with smallpox rag- ing not many miles from the town the doctors believe attention should be paid to skin outbreaks that a proper diagnosis be made before the disease develops seriously in the event that the case should be smallpox.

London, May 10.—Andrew Bonai Law, chancellor of the exchequer, in moving a vote of credit for £500,000,- 000 in' the House of Commons yester- day, said that the alarming ‘feature |, of the figures was that they repre- sented a daily expenditure of £7,450,- 000. The vote of credit brings the total since the outbreak of the war to £4.- 642,000,000 ($23,210,000,000.) With the exception of the credit of £560,- 000,000 ($2,750,000,000) voted in February the credit asked today was the largest single -.mount during the war. ‘The expenditure, nM_ the chancel- or, mate, and had, averaged £7,450,400 ($37,260,000) daily.
