Five Cases Here At the present time there are five| known cases of the disease in Meri- den. Four of them are at the Meri-| den hospital, and vue, who was at the | hospital for nearly two weeks was re. moved to his home yesterday. | Besides M Mueller, those in the| hospital are George Pereault of North| Troad street, who has been at the in-| stitution three or four weeks.

Mr. Mueller's illness began with a mild case of in-| fluenza, and then developed into en-| cephalitis. | Observe Health Rules | Doctors advise persons to take pre- | cautions against colds, which may de- velop into grip or influenza, All should observe ordinary health rules.| Tt is not known how contagious the is but two of the Meriden| cases originated on North Broad street. Mr. Pereault, who is now in the hospital with the disease resides| at 1045 North Broad street. Joseph | Serruto, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rosario Serruto of 1077 North Broad street is| in a serious condition. He was taken| from the hospital yesterday afternoon because his parents said they wanted him to be at his home. The fact that these two cases are near neighbors may lend strength to the theory that the disease is contagious or infectious. Is Not Epidemic. Dr. Stanley Osborn, commissioner of health of the state of Connecti- cut, was called by telephone and| asked last evening if he had any| statement to make regarding the| prevalence of encephalitis in the state at the present time. He sald: “I do not consider that there is any | epidemic of the disease in the state.| We are having about the usual num- ber of cases we have each year at this time. \ spring we have an| fncrease in the number of cases. he disca has been recognized | only since 1916 or 1917, and since physicians have been required to re- port cases, the records show that we | have a larger number at this time of | the year than at other times. I think | the cases now being reported may be | considered the usual spring increase | in cases of this kind.” | In answer to the question as to what this disease was called h he veeks | at Lewis avenue, servation for Her continued disease | before the name encephalitis was discovered, Dr. Osborn replied: *“There is no doubt but that «ome cases of encephalitis were considered as phases of infantile paral cerebro spinal meningitis. Th similarity as the nervous affected in any of them, within the last few years have physi- cians been able to distinguish between the three.” | and Last Balaklava Survivor Dies in London Hospital | London, Ont., Feb, 26.—Thomas W.| Shaw, said to be the last survivor of the famous Light Brigade that charged to destruction on a Russian battery at Balaklava in 1854, died yes- terday in Victoria.

He made a plea for thorough house- cleaning by the churches. “There is need of a new religion, if the church will not clean house ol all its fetishes,” he said. “The fundamentalists in religion beliieve that they will attain happiness in the world to come, through the belief in (the miraculous conception of Christ, His death and ascension into heaven. This theory is as unworthy of mod- ern intelligence lief today in theo priests of the past. “We cannot adhere to fables in re- ligion any longer, for the young peo- ple of today are not going to believe what their grandparents did.

An-, derson handled the organization's finances. | Anderson Claims Frame-Up The jury inquiry follows relatively sensational developments of yester- day when Anderson, speaking in an| Albany pulpit, declared he was the vietim of a “far-reaching conspiracy” in which Tammany, wet republican | machine politicians and wet financial | interests were involved. | Rockefeller Replics His charges that the conspirators | were using Raymond B. I"osdick, legal | a de facto stool pigeon, a wet-talking representative of the Rockefellers, “as | machine, personally hostile employe of the John D. Rockefellers,” to for- ward their fight, brought an immedi- ate response from John D. Dockefel- | ler, Jr., whose statements were con-| sidered a virtual indorsement of the investigation into affairs of the league, “I do not intend,” he said, “to sub- mit in silence to being crushed by the power of Rockefeller money wielded through the machinations of a hostile | Rockefeller employe.

His statement immedi- ately was denied by Mr. Pecora, who declared that his office was concerned only with the $24,700 publicity item expended by Mr. Anderson, and the | alleged *splitting” of collection com- | missions by O.

A few more queries elicited the fact that the waiter, during seven days in March, 1916, had been in the German sector facing that held by the French captain's company. Trenches had completely disappeared and the men of both armies were hid- den in shell holes in some places less than ten yards apart. The waiter had taken part in a furious assault upon the captain’s lines one day at dawn. get hurt?” he Twenty-five per cent of his company had been killed, wounded or made prisoners. “Let me get you some hot soup, sir,” the waiter said, “this is growing cold. “Those were great days,” he said as he walked to the Kkitchen.
