Finally the ru- mor that there was a case of small- pox at the McKeon home reached Dr. Griswold and he immediately started an investigation. Having found out the name of the attending physician he called him up on registration day to ascertain the authenticity of the re- port. The New Britain doctor an- nounced over the telephone that the case was in a very mild form. Asked why he did not report and have the house quarantined he re- plied he had been too busy and fur- ther could not do it that day as he was serving as one of the registrars, Dr. Griswold claims. Dr. Griswold went immediately to the home of' the pa- ‘tient and; on examining the girl af- flicted discovered that instead ' of chickenpox it was smallpox and he at once put the house under quarantine. The girl, who was nearly recovered from the dissase when the examina- tion was made, showed, according to Dr. Griswold, distinct traces which proved conclusively that his decision was correct. Others Stricken With It. On registration day, First Select- man.Alling 6f the town of Berlin who had charge of the registration board went out to look up a young man who was reported sick and had not presented himself at the polls. On finding him Mr. Alling noticed the man's face was covered with su erup- ‘tion which seemed to him suspicious. Getting away as soon as possible he located the health officer and ordered an investigation. This young man was Harry McKeon, brother of the girl whose sickness had been diagnosed as chickenpox. He was sub- Jected to a thorpugh examihation and told he was a victim of smallpox. This was before the ggarantine was declared. The New ' Britain doctor, ‘who had ‘been attending him for days previous also had told him it he was afflicted with the same disease his sister had and there ‘was no caused for alarm, it is alleged. - Visitors Admitted to House. 5 Meantime both he and his sister ™| were allowed to go about the house Proulx of Holyoke, Mass., manager of the Newark Shoe z of the New Haven a‘arzn false shipping state- ts. tence was deferred until in the sessionof court. jam Marctin pleaded not guilty king an automobile belonging to r without permission and op- same while under the in- of liqupr.

Ioventory of the estate of the Iate Freferick Marron, filed in probate ocoust today, showed deposits of $1,-- S%1.8% in the Burritt Savings Bank, and even to the village if they so de- sired. ~Visitors and friends of the family were continually admitted to the home with the resuilt that a large number of people have been exposed. Another sister, although it has not been definitely asoertained, is repgrt- ed as being il with the same ail- ment, In order to prevent a general spreading and an epidemic, vaccina- tion of fifty young women who are employed at the Paper Goods com- pany in the room where the patients ‘were at work, has been ordered. Al- though every precautionary measure has been taken it is anticipated, ow- ing to the large number exposed, new cases will be brought to light within a few days. County Officer Appealed to. In reply to a letter sent by Dr. Gris- wold to the county health officer at Hartford stating the facts and the conditions relative to the epidemic and the alleged negligence of the New Britain dector the following letter has been received: Roger M. Griswold, M. D. Health Officer, Kensington, Conn. Dear Str:. You have the authority to order the :general vaccination in cases where conditions are simi- lar to those reported in your letter of June 5th. I think Dr. ——————should be prosecuted if the facts are as you state. Can you prove that he attended both cases, or is it merely a rumor? ‘Where should the prosetution be brought? Have you a town court or do you bring them before jus- tices? I will bring the prosecu- tion if you have evidence. that he had plenty of evidence but is undecided as to what action he will take. Wide Oriticism Heard. People of the town are up in arms, all proclaiming the alleged laxity of the health officer and criticizing the methods - used to combat smallpox. They clalm that drastic measures will have to be adhered to before the trouble is' over. To prove this assertion one resident cited this in: stance. Yesterday afternoon it was reported to Dr. Griswold that an Italian woman living outside of the town had been stricken with the disease. He went to the woman's home wher2 he found her in the yard chopping wood and apparently in the best of health according to his inves- tigation and report which, accerding to the resident took about “two minutes.” This morning the same resident said that the woman’s face was literally black with the rash and that her two children were also fil. Another prominent citisen expressed himself in the this manner. “If that had tended to his business intead of spending so much time in writing comimunicated letters, the smallpox would have been wiped cut long ago” Asssils Qitizens. “This is not the-first time that citi- zens of this town hAve had smailpox in their families and have failed to noflg Me,” remarked Health Officer old when seen by a reporter this morning. He continued, “It fis rotten, downright rotten, and is doing an injustice of the worst kind to the community at large to let these coen- ditions exist.” 1In conclusion he said, “If this epidemic is to be successtully coped with, some regard for my position as health officer must be shown, allL must be reported -and ‘we must co-operate in order that the highest efficiency may be attained in order to expedite the wiping out of every case.” Sunshine Society. ave you had @ kindness showal Fass it on.

A, Physical -Director Given $20 Gold Piece by Business Men's ' Gymnastum Claes. \ As a fitting testimonial to the high regard in which he is held, Physical Director Warren 8. Slater of the Y, M, C. A.'was last night presented with a $20 gold piece by members of the business' men’s class. Rev. V. Ottman Ward, assistant pastor of Trinity Methodist church, made the presentation speech. The affair was the final supper for the business men of the 1916-17 class. Preceding the supper a regular class session was held and the men went through their athletic drills and other ‘exercises. About twenty men gathered at the banquet table which together with the hall was decorated with Americsn Mr. Ward explained to the men that he had prepared a speech, had been told that mo speeches ‘were to be given, but he considered that out of justice to the prepared speech, it should be delivered. He told the men of the benefit he had personally de- rived from the class by contact with good men and by physical betterment, He praised Mr. Slater and congratu- lated him and thanked him on behalf of the class. Mr. Slater was taken by surprise when he was presented with the $20 gold piece. In reply he said that he would always remember the token and that he appreciated it as well as the gift of last year. He stated that the men had worked with him during the year and in that way had helped-out. “Much of the credit for the work was due to Assistant Di- rector Carl G. Carlson and without his ald the good results would not have been obtained,” said Mr. Slater. In conclusion he stated that he hoped to see the men all back next year hav- ing Just as good a time as they had this year. During the evening Mr. Slater made the announcement that Carl G. Carl- son, assistant physical director, would resume active work in the fall. This is the first time in the past three years that the assistant has returned for a second term. The members of the association were greatly pleased over the announcement. During the summer the bullding will be open every day with the ex- ception of Sundays. Gymnasfum classes will be omitted from.July 1 to October 1. TRAVELING MEN MEFET. New England Council, U. C. T. A., tn Session at Hartford.

A “No really thoughtful and patriotic man is jealous of that obligation. No man who really. understands the privi- lege and the dignity of being an American citizen quarrels for a mo- ment with the idea that the congress of the United States has the right to call upon whom it will to serve the nation. “These solemn lineés of young men going today all over the Union to places of registration ought to be a signal to the world, to those who dare fiout the dignity and honor and rights of the United States, that all her manhood will flock to that standard under which we all delight to serve, and that he who challenges the rights and principles of the United Siates challenges the united strength and devotion of a nation.

ITALY T0 RETRENCH Will Cut Consumption of Coal and Iron in Half and Restrict Shipping, As Allles Did. ‘Washington, June 7.—Italy has de- termined to cut its ‘consumption of coal and iron in half as a war meas- ure and to reduce its ship tonnage in line with the general policy adopted by the other Entente Allies in meet- ing the submarine menace, the Itai- ian mission announced today. Enrico ‘Arlotta, & member of the mission, and Itallan minister for transportation, in/ discussing the situation said that by a rigid enforcement of this policy Italy will not only aid in conserving the resources of her allies but will also save labor and millions of dol- lars formerly expended in the pur- chase of coal and iron abroad. The money saved, he said, could be used to better advantage in purchasing foodstufts Nere. RUSH FOR FIRST PAPERS.

OF. C. 10 ENLARGE I SUDPE Will Expand to Make tsell ore Ul Gy The executive committee of the New Britain Chamber .of Commerce met yesterday at a luncheon at the Hotel Beloin to perfect plans to en- large the membership of the organ- ization, increase its efliciency, create new departments and so develop the scope of its activities as to include continuous and active personal inter- est of the entire membership. ' | This policy of expansion is largely dictated by & realization that the rapid growth of New Britain calls for a larger participation by. its leading commercial body in the affairs of the community so that it may keep pace with this growth through the inclu- sionl’ of all interests in the enlarged organization. It was announced with regret that President Lander’s duties as chair- man of the Connecticut Committee on” Food Supply which has also become a part of the State Committee Defense will prevent his active participation in the membefship movement owing to the immense amount of detail con- nected with the service he is render- ing the state. Acting President C. J- White, who presided, declared that it is the in- tention of the Chamber of Commerce to become the equill if not the superior of any organization in cities of simi- lar size of the state and other sec: tions of the country in membership, finances and activity. “Our first three years of existence,” said Mr. White, “have been marked with a degree of success fully in keeping with the expectations of the officers and directors. Our records serve to show what can be achieved with a limited membership and small financial resources. Our experience clearly indicates what possibilities for good and the advanecement of New Britain are contained in a Chamber of Commerce modelled and operated along lines of approved commercial organization procedure. “The desire to bring the New Brit- ain Chamber of Commerce up to this standard of efficlenicy was stimulated by the splendid address of R. G. Rhett president of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States at our last. banquet. President Rhett showed conclusively how important the de- velopment of every commercial or- ganization unit is to the success and effective operation of the national body and gave us a vision of just what a broader, bigger, more potent local organization means in its relation to national affairs as well as the ad- vancement of all interests centering in our community.
