Meskill y in passing judg- cage. of Abrzham Hecht reet, accused by Police- ‘Carison of riding & bicycle ‘of John street last night . ang as his ‘sidewslk, was 1‘!::\‘:: salt . m::nvynn, He by pe- ‘accuved several | umuu«mmmrnm; d Miss Mary M. Daugherty, a gradu- ate of the New Britain General hos- pital, and for & year one of the most popular nurses in that institution, writes an interesting letter to Mrs. Jennie L. Bassett, matron of the insti- tution, concerning her experiences, nursing in No. 2 General hospital in England, where many of the British soldiers are taken for injuries and wounds sustained on the battlefields of France. The missive is dated May 22 and tells of & serious iliness undergone by her. She is at present recuperat- ing at one of Eingland’s noted health resorts. The ‘writer atiributes her illness to gas and “too much cigarette smoke from the Tommies.” England during the late winter and early spring were the worst in 40 years, and during April the rain fell almost incessantly. At times it was 80 cold, Miss Daugherty writes that she was forced to partake of her breakfast with woolen gloves dn. Thoughts of her days in New-Brit- ain, force the writer at times to wish she was back again in the Hardware city, where she was treated so well both by the recipient of the letter, the hospital attendants and the public in general. As an example of 'the effi- clency of the graduates of the local hospital, Miss Daugherty writes that many of the patients have requested those in charge, to have her assigned to’ their care. She also wishes Mrs. Bassett would go across the ocean and become a matron in the hospital. ‘While the work in war hospitals is not as hard as that of a city hospital, the duties are made burdensome by the lack of proper conveniences. All manner of treatment is afforded in the No. 2':General hospitaj but the most difficult to handle are those of gas gangrene, due to the effect it has on the patient’s vitality. In conclud- ing her letter Miss Daugherty hopes for a speedy ending of the war. Another graduate of the New Brit- ain General hospital is soon to embark for hospital seérvice in France. She 1s Miss Jane Gould of Bristol, a grad- uate of the 1917 clabs, who will sail August 16 with a Harvard unit.

GOVERNOR APPEALS TO MEN OF STATE Asks Them 1o Enst in Army Today ‘Hartford, June 30—Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb last night, issued & procla- mation urging the young men:of the state to uphold the traditions of Con- necticut since the foundation of the colonies by presenting themselves at recruiting stations for enlistment in either the national guard or the reg- ular army today. The proelamation: “On the 25th dpy of March, 1917, the 1st regiment of the Connecticut national guard was called into fed- eral. service. On the 6th day of April, 1917, & state of war wag de- clared . to exist’ between the United States of America and Germany. On the 15th day of June, 1917, the president of the United States, by proclamation lappointed the period of June 23rd to June 30th as recruiting week, for the regular = army, and called upon unmarried men, between the ages 0f 18 and. 40 years who have Q0 dependents and who are not en- gaged in pursuits. vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war to present themselves for enlistment during that week . to the number of' 70,000. On June 25th the 1st and 24 regiments’ of the Connecticut 'natiopal guard were approximately 1,300 short - of their required war strength and .on that date it was still necessary for Connecticut to furnish 1,234 men, as volunteers for the regular army of the United States. June 30th is the last day on which enlistments in _the national guard or regular army will count towards reducing -the quota to be, assignied to :Connecticut for the new selective draft army. “Although . vigoroue. efforts have been made in Connecticut to stimu- late recruiting the.latest figures from the several counties .of the state in- dicate that to 'date the ‘number of men recruited is many hundred short of those required. Connecticut’' with a wonderful record in times of war since the foundation of the colonies must not be found wanting at this critical juncture of the greatest of all Wars. “Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested In me, I call the men of Connecticut who may be elig- ible to: present themselves on the 30th day of June, 1917, for the purpose of volunteering in either the national guard of Connecticut or the regular army, proving then that Connecticut may fulfill the obligations ' imposed upon her. “(Signed) "MARCUB H. HOLCOMB.” ATHLETIG DIRECTOR ‘Move lt lll.h School to Have w.G.MooldxudlnsdeGlmol Sports. It is reported at the High school that with the opening of that institu- tion next fall there will be a radical change in the method af handjing the school athletics. It is 'reported that hereafter the school athletics will be solely in charge of W, G. )(ooreh-ad, physical director. In years past the school athletlel were governed by a board of athietic directors, known as the High school athletic council. This council was compased of alumnj members, the managers of the various teams and faculty members.. last year Princi- pal L. P. Slade, acting’on orders from the superintendent of ' zchools, dis- solved the old council and schoal ath- letics were placed solely in control of faculty advisors and the managers of the various branches of sport. The latest change, if as reported, means that even the faculty members will have no say in the management of school sports but that the physical director will become the athletic dic- tator of the school, having absolute jurisdiction as to the policies to be carried out as well as the picking of teams and managers. It is sald that ailready the faculty members of the present administrative board have re- cefved notice of their dismissal as di- rectors of athletics. ‘The athletic board has not had a meeting since last F‘obrn-ry, it 1s said. ENGAGEMTNT ANNOUNCED. At a party given last night at the home of Miss Ruth Ward of Andrews street the engagement of Miss Eima Hart to Clarence Demarest was an- nounced. Miss Hart is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Hart of Plainville, . - | May 4. UNBERWRITERS SAY CONDITIONS ARE BAD | Ordipance Committee Go-operates for Fire Protection Some radical’ and ' important changes in city ordinances were rec- ommended at the meeting of the ordinancé committee and the chair- man of the fire commissioners last night. One of the principle changes is in the ordinance relating to taking the. fire apparatus out of the city limits. In the past it has been im- possible to take any apparatus out of the city, no matter how urgent the call, without the permission of either the mayor or the chairman of the safety . board. The amended ordi- nance Will give the chiet of the fire department the right to use his dis- cretion and the apparatus may be taken out of the city on his orders. Another important ordinance rec- ommended is one relative to the burning of waste papers, rubbish or leaves; within the fire zone. It pro- hibita the burning of such refuse in any back yard or alley unless the material is enclosed in some recep- tacle that is approved b the ' chief of ‘the fire department. It was re- ported that the fire insurance under- writérs, who have been conducting a , long series of investigations into local l conditions, have compiled a report ! that is anything but complimentary to the city. This report is supported by a series of actual photographs showing the conditions of many back- yards about the center of the city. Some of the pictures show waste ; papers being burned loosely in the yards, others show them burning without anyone watching for sparks, etc. In the opinion of ‘the under- writers conditions in this respect are “the very worst imaginable’” and it is: predicted tha these pictures and the report is made public the prop- erty owners will be amazed at con- ditions. The underwriters advocated an’ ordinance prohibiting the burning | of any refuse out of doors, but the committee compromised on the ap- proved receptacle ordinance. Another ordinance has been recom- mended which makes it an offense, punishable by arrest and fine, .for anyone to hinder or obstruct the chief or any members of the fire depart- ment_in their duty. This ordinance has been framed principally to pro- tect the fire department men in their investigations of private ' buildings. In the past they have been frequent- 1y refused admittance to investigate conditions, but hereafter such re- fusal will constitute an offense. W!DOWS m» AWARD. m-n!
