New Britatn His Friends Want Him to Receive $3,500 But Others Object—Election Is Not Unanimous. After Dr. Richard W, Pullen of the New Britain General hospital staff had been elected superintendent of the health department yesterday aft- ernoon, securing four out of the six ballots cast, Chairman Henry T. Bray and other Pullen supporters attemupt- ed to have the ballot made unanimous, but were unable to prevail upon Dr, Joseph Walsh to so move, while Commissioner John J. Erwin also de- clined to make such a motion. Question Over Salary Dr. Walsh and Commissioner Er- win voted for Dr. Bevins, a New Jer- sey practitioner. As matters now stand, Dr. Pullen will assume the duties of health superintenden: in a few days without having the unan- imous vote of the board and also with much question as to tha salary that he will be paid. The board will rec- vnmend to the salary committee of the common council that the amount be fixed at $3,500, the same as was pwd Dr. Fred P. Lee when he left the position. Dr. Walsh was of the belief that the salary should not be 80 large as the man 1s, in his opinion, inexperienced. When a recommcnda- tion was made by Dr. M. 8. Dunne that Dr. Pullen be asked to take up the duties of superintendent for $2,000 for the first six months with the under- standing that if his services proved satlsfactory he would have his salary increased to $3,500 for the next six months, Dr. Bray, chairman of the bcard, sald he would resign before he would ask Dr. Pullen to start ut this salary. Dr. Lee, who was regarded as one of the most successful superintenlents in the history of the health depart- at $2,600 a year and was increased to $3,000. He was given $3,500 a year just before he left. Becatis3 Dr. Lee came to the New Britain department at that ‘time, Dr. Walsh feit that It that Dr. Pullen be paid $3,500 mediately. Vote Salary Inérease For Dr. Meehan from Dr. Joseph P. Meehan, chief of the dental clinic for an increase of from $1,200 to $1,600 a year in his salary. His year's work will begin in August. It was voted to recommend to the council that the Increase be granted. Dr. Dunn, a dentist, spoke in favor of the increase and will ap- pear with Chairman Henry T. Bray before the salary committee when the jpatter is taken up. Dr. C. W. Witte, meat inspector at the slaughter house had also asked verbally for an increase, but the board felt that a written request tnould be made, Last year Dr. Witte asked that his salary be boosted” to $2,000. At that time he was receiving $1,650. He was glven an increase of $100. Now he wants an increase to $2,500 a year, and unless the pay is ralsed he cannot continue in the city's em- ploy. Dr. Bray told the board. The chairman reported on progress house improvements. Plans have been made for doubling the size of the slaughter rooms and installing a chill room and refrigerating plant. Councilman Stanley, who is chairman of the ecommon councll commit- tee on this project, spoke on the sub- ject. He submitted sketches of the proposed changes. The counciiman stated that increased revenues certain to follow the installation this proposed improvements. 42 Candidates for Position. Drs. Bray and Walsh who were a | committee of the health hoard to se- cure applicants for the position re- ported that advertisements had been inserted in medical journals and as a result there were 42 replies. At an| “informal conference” of members of the health board several days ago it| was decided to eliminate all but six| of the applicants, this for \arlous reasons, chiefly that of salary ex- pected. Dr. Dunn inquired as to the likeli- hood that the common council might | allow the salary to be made $5,000 |so that a Dr. Lewis of New Ha\'cn | might be secured. Councilman L. M. | Stanley who was present at the meet- | ‘H\K said he did not feel that this | would be possible, Dr. Dunn was in i favor of postponing action until aft- |er the common council meéting so that a report might be received. He was advised that the charter requires that all salaries be fixed after jobs have heen filled Wand an increase | would not be voted “‘Joe Doe.” ! Dr. E. T.

REPORT BRISK TRADE Danish Shipbuilders Seem to Have safely Weathered the Storm and See Bright Future Ahead. Copenhagen, July 11.—Danish ship- building yards seem to have safely weathered the post-war trade de- pression and are entering upon a per- lod of comparative prosperity, says the Scandinavian Shipping Gazette. The yards have come through the crisls very well, principally owing to the consolidation policy which has been followed. With the placing:of new orders, the yards are able to work more or less independently again. They are all busy, and a few of them are booked up. Unemployment has benefited accordingly. . The yard workers, earlier in the year, voluntarily agreed to reductions |in wages in order to make it possible |for the yard shipbuilders to bid low. CLOSES GAMBLING HALLS Portugal Stops All Games of Chance, Newspapers Protest That People Are Being Swindled. Lisbon, July 11.—All public gamb- |1ing halls in Portugal have been or- dered closed, and a wave of indigna- tion has swept the larger cities as a result. Several newspapers have taken up the protest, claiming that where gambling formerly was super- vised and forced to yleld an income to the treasury, it has now been driven to cover, and is flourishing as ever before. One newspaper alleged that lead- ed dice, marked cards and other trick devices have been substituted for equipment which, under the gambling regulations, was inspected by the police, and that the public has sus- tained tremendous losses as a result.

Riot Guns, Tear Bombs and Bb”a:flmmf Commission Decides to Be Prepared for Eventuali- ties by Purchasing Modern Eguipment. At the regular meeting of the board of police commissioners held last night Chief Willlam C, Hart sug- gested that six riot guns and tear bombs be bought for uss in the po- lice department. He said that at the present time the men have nothing but their revolvers to depend upon and often times tear bombs could be used when the police are in a “tight” po- sition and want to get their man. The chief said that it is easy, with the use of tear bombs, to dislodge people flom rooms or corners On motion of Commissioner Edwin Parker, Chief Hart was given permis- sion to seoure prices on riot guns, tear bombs and bullet proof vests. Will Purchase Traffic Light. The commission on motion of Com- missioner Parker also voted to pur- chase the traffic light which lias been placed at the corner of Hartford av- enue and East Main street for the past few weeks, Commissioner Thomas F. Jackson stated that he had heard much favorable comment in re- gard to the light and thought that it would be a good investment. Chiet Hart said that it has already saved mors than its cost by the elim- ination of a traffic officer at that spot, who has been placed elsswhere.

The chief was given permission by the board to secure prices on new pulmotors and lungmo- tors. Objection to Promiscuous Shooting At the close of the meeting Com- missioner Jackson askéd Chief Hart how well informed the policemen in the department were on the use ot revolvers. Vests For Police To this Chiet Hart replied that it is the geperal idga that if a man runs away from an officer the policeman has a right to shoot in order to stop him. He sald that they can use any means within their power to capture a man. “It strikes me that they are hold- Ing life pretty cheap when the po- licen.en can shoot indiscriminately. In recent cases which have come up 1 cannot see the need for the police- men shooting,” Commissioner Jack- son said. “Policemen are given pistols to pro- tect themselves and to protect those in trouble but not for use in trivial cases."” New Uniform For Stadler Clerk Joseph McGrail read a bill | trom Poticeman John C. Stadler ask- ing for 318 for a new suit of clothes to replace the suit which was torn as the result of a chase after Walter Grezenia on June 30 when he fell over an fron hoop in the road and was badly cut and bruised.
