Thers Were 45 Deaths During April and 51 Births in March. By mortality reports received by the state board of heaith there were 1656 deaths during the month of April. This was 34 less than in March and 147 more than In April of last year, and 218 more than the average number of deaths during April for the five years preceding. The death rate was 17.9 for the large towns; for the small fowns 18.6 and for the whole state 18.0. The deaths reported from infectious diseases were 274, being 16.5 per cent. of the total mortality. In Norwich there were 45 deaths.in April, representing s death rate per thousand of 17.5, of which number 11 were under 5 vears. The death rate was a trifle under that for the large ] towns. The causes of death were as 1ollos Consumption, pneumonia, and diseases of nervous systéem, 5 each; heart disease 7: lagrippe 3; di- arrhoea 2; cerebro-spinal fever 1: whooping ‘cough 1; bronohitis 1; all other causes 15. There were six mar- riages in March and 51 living births. There were nine deaths in local insti- tutions. The streams and rivers of the state are of priceless value to fts people and should not be used as sewers, says Dr. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health.” Under primitive conditions. rivers are the natural conduts {or waste, anc the scarcity of populatisp makes_their use comparatively harm- Jess. Fut with the growth of popula- tion and the increase in manufactur- ing, the use of streams as sewers cre- ates an intolerable nuisance and their ‘protaction from pollution is essential to publjc health and comfort. The inter- est in this matter in Conneeticut is shown by the number of bills that have been introduced at the present session of the legislature, which aim to prevent the poitution of our rivers and harbors For a number of years this board has been granted an appropriation to in- vestigate the pollution of streams and the natural waters of the state. A vast amount of data has been collected on the subject and filed fn our office. Our reports have been made as the law .| directs, but' there the matter has rest- ed. and we have had no authority to remedy unsanitary or dangerous con- dizions found. The state hoard of hedlth should bé”equipped with an en- sineering department and given the necessary authority ‘to step poilution and supervise the construction of sew- age disposal plants A logical pro- gramme of congeryation couid then t.e worked out, recognizing the various son, factors and conditions involved.

Supreme Court Decla: They Should Have Been Fined for Civil Contempt. Was! ington, May 15—Samuel Gom- pers, John Mitchel] and Frank Mor- rison, president, vice president, and secretary of the American Federation of Labor, respectively, stepped from the shadow of jail teday when the supreme ceourt of the United States set aside their sentences of imprisonment for contempt growing out of the liti- tion between the Bucks Stove & ange Co. and the federation. The highest tribunal in the land has left with the lower court, however, the right to reopen the contsmpt proceed- ings. This grant of power probably will not be accepted, and the case is practieally ended with today's decis- ion. Punishable Only by Fine. The basis of the court's opinion was that the proceeding brought against the Jabor officers was for civil con- tempt, which could be punished only by the imposition of a fine. The sen- tence of the lower court to imprison- ment was the penalty for criminal contempt, and in the premises, there- fore, it was not a legal punishment. The case, which grew out of the so- called boycott of the stove corpora- tion by the American Federation of Labor three vears ago ,is one of the sreatest importance to union labor and the emplovers of union labor. The supreme court heids that the published or spoken utterance of organized ia- bor can be enjoined or attecked le- gally because organized labor Is a combination and as such, relinquishes the rights.of individuals_ It also es- tablishes that lezal prosecution ecan he leveled not only at the union itself { but at its officers as wall Civil Not Criminal Contempt. Justice Lamar dévoted: consideradle space to a technical discussion of civil as_differentiated from criminal con- tempt. In the former only a fine was permissible, he pointed out, whereas in criminal contempt jail sentences could be imposed. The case uni'tj‘ consider+ ation, he sald, was brought by a.cors poration in conjunction with & suit. in FREED FROM SKIN DISEAS| “Our boy was born in Toronto on Oct, 13, 1908, and when thres months old a slight rash appeared on his cheek.

Court Could Have Brought Criminal Proceedings. Had the court, whose injunction was disobaved, felt aggrieved, it could have brought criminal contempt proceedings in the premises and inflicted a jail sentence. It did not do this, how- ever, and the opinfon held that it erredin imposing in a civil contempt case a penalty applicable only to Iiti- gation involving criminal contempt. The opinion, in conclusion, read: Conclusion of Opinion, “The judgments of the court of ap- peals and the supreme court of the district are reversed anl the case re- manded with direction that the con- tempt procacdings instituted by the Bucks Stove & Range Co. be dismiss- ed, but without prejudice to the pow- er and right of the supreme court of the District of Columbia to punish by a proper proceeding, contempt, if any, committed against it.” ‘Case Not Likely to Be Repoened. In view of the fact that the orig- inal case has been adjudicited out of court, it is not considered likely that the district supreme ceurt will take advantage of the supreme court’s de- cislon to reopen proceedings against the three labor officials. Lawyer Danvenport Satisfied. ‘Washington, May 15.—Daniel Daven- port, atorney for the American Anti- Boyoott assooiation, under whose aus- pices the cases were conducted, said today: “‘Atthough it set aside the jail sen- tences, the United States supreme court, in its decision, settled every question on account of which the-suit was originally brought. First, it held that the boyoott is illegal and that a party threatened with injury by one has a right te go toa court of equity for protection against. “Second, a court of equity has a right to_enjoin all acts done in carrying ouc such a boycott, which _extends to printed, written or oral statements. It 0lds that the constitutional right of ee mpeech and free press affords no otection to the boveotter, that it is the duty of all enjeined by a court of equity to obey ihe injunetion, and that for « violation of it they are liable to a fine by way of indemnity to the perty injured, commensurate with the Ppecuniary damage inflicted, and that further the party violating the injunc- tion is liaplc to punishment by wi of imprisonment for, Tis contempt of court.” Separated by the Chicago Fire in 1871, Peter C. Sharp of Pittsburs, Kan., and his wife, Anna Catherine Sharp of Oakland, Cal, will be reunit- ed at Pittsburg, Kan., the present week.
