Hollow-eved -skeletons, with gan- grenous wounds, gazed silently at the Red Cross workers as they set to work _with disinfectants and water to remove the stench that pervaded ev- ervthing. In ome room, stripped and thrown into a heap, were found four corpses, bloated and disnsured. Flies Swarm About Sick Soldiers. In another room, shut off from sun- light and fresh air, were half a dozen other men, who had almost lost the semblanze of human beings from ery- ipelas or tvphold fever. Another ty* phoid_patient, all but naked, lay on the ground outside the door of one of the unventilated rooms, Over the mouth and eyes of the dying wretch hovered a swarm of flies.

BRIDGEPORT BUSINESS'STOPS WHILE AN AVIATOR FLIES. Lincoln Beachey Rises 3,000 Feet and Circles Two and "a Half Miles. Bridgeport, Conn, May 11.—The feature of the aviation meet here to- day was the flight late this afternoon of Lincoln Beachey from the aerodrome over the city, cirzling around The Stratfleld and returning to the feld. A gréater part of ths day's pro- gramme was not carried out owing to a wind which blew 35 miles an hour. All day people from throughout the state came in automobil:s and by train and at the time of the flights one of tha largest crowds in the history of the city was present. When Beachey arose from the ground he was greeted with cheers, and during his flight over the city all factories suspended work and ‘nis course was followel by the blowing of whistlss and the tooting of horns by those on the clty streets. Tn his flight the aviator made a cir- cle of two and a half miles and wal in the air 13 1-2 minutes, attaining an altitude of about 3,000 feet. On his return to the aviation field his land- ing was preceded by a spiral dip that startled the spectators. Today's flight was the first- made over the city and will be followed by others tomorrow. One of the dey’s features which the wind prevented was & race between McCurdy and B2achey. The two men made short exhibition flights in the aercdrome and made experiments with their engines as to gasoline supply. Lieut. T. D. Bliyson of the United States navy was present, but stated that he, did not think that he would make any flights, Tomorrow experi- ments with wireless will be made and targets will be shot at.

Ex-Mayor Heney of Hartford. Ex-Mayor Willlam F. Heney’ of Hartford was another earnest advocate of the ocean port idea, He said that it was not a question of doing some- thing for New London, but of doing something for the entire state. The plan, however, iz golng to be one of Bsuccess or failure, according to the ‘men who have charge of it.” You want m besi jns and ability that Con- ticut rds in charge of this werk. and a 1 commission should be appoini to it. He believed that eventudlly the revenues aceruing from the expenditure would be wholly re- paid to the state. In answer to a ques- tion by Senator Alsop of the finance committes, Mr. Heney said he believed that a commission appointed by the governor would be fully competent. Charles Bard of Norwich. Charles Bard, Norwich, believed that the plan to improve New Lon- don harbor was an excellent one. When carried out, he said, the project would have an effect on the Thames river. As showing that the idea of devel- oping water ways about New London county was not a new one, Mr, Bard related how as far back as 1825 when the Thames bank was chartered there had Dreviously been chartered by the state & channel company, the purpose 6f which was the improvement of the channeél or the river Thames, by deep- ening it from Norwich to deep water near Allyns Point; for which a charge was levied on all vessels running up the river and In obtaining the cha ter the Thames bank was obliged teo buy up 2,000 shares of the Channel company's stock and to make fur- thier expenditure of $500 a year until the channel was made sufficiently deep. The bank wag permitted to recover its expenditures, however, except the pur- chase price of the stock, by eharging toll until the amount spent had been received. This arrangement proved very unpopular, thoughi and the Thames bank finally gave up its char ter as a state bank and re-organized under the national bank law as the only means of ridding ifself of am-ob- noxious obligation. Mayor Dunn of Willimantic. Mayor Daniel A. Dunn, Willimantic, sajd he appeared as a citizen of the state of Connecticut and talked strong- ly in favor of the bill. He spoke of the gradually_increasing, pressure of busi- ness at the port of New York and of the fact that a new port to handle transatlantic_business ~ will soon be necessary. He believed that if the bill is passed that within a few vears the populition and commerce of the state will be doubled as the result of the progressive action. Fred L. Ford of Hartford. Fred L. Ford, Hartford, told of Iris investigation in 19¢ of the great ports of Europe, e reviewed the devel- opnient of the river Clyde and of the marvelons development of Glasgow that has coincided with the work of deepening the famous waterway. He spoke of the miilions spent on water terminal facilities at Liverpool, Lon- don, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Bremen, Amsterdam and of the stu- pendous works they are doing to get their share of the wcrld’'s commerce. We have every facility, he said, to de- velop on the Connecticut shore a port equal to any of them, prepared to re- ceive the largest ocean liners. The bullding of a dock system at New London would certainly mean that the commercial importance of Connecti: cut wouid go forward by tremendous ‘bounds. He believed the expenditure of the money would be extremely wise. Mr. Ford’s tall was greeted with pro- longed applause. eut.-Governor Blakeslee. Lieut.-Gov. A. D. Blakeslee said that while the appropriation asked for was along lines that represent a departure from any policy that Connecticut has established, he believed the plan to do S0 a wise onme.
