OPPOSE COMPULSORY YACGCINATION Because of Three Mild Smalipox Cases in City of 12,000—Unnec sary, Mayor Thinks—Health Officers Merely Recommend It. Friday morning City Health Officer Dr. W, P, B, Kentln and Town Health Officer Dr, F, ‘Wiicox met with County Heal{h Officer George E. Hinman and held a conference rela- tive to the smalipox situation. County Health Officer Hinman suggested that before taking the proposed step to is- sue an order for a general public vac- cination a consultation with the city and town authorities be held, as the idea of compulsory vaccination did not set well with many people, and ap- peared to bs somewhat drastic. City Health Officer Keating called upon Corporation Counsel Willlam A. King, who told him that the issuing of an order comrwliing vaccination lay with the health authorities, so far as the law was concerned. The question was briefly discussed, as the corpora- tion counsel had to go to Putnam to attend superior court. Dr. Keating sald Fridey that for the present he would recommend vec- cination on the part of the people and as for an order for compuisory vac- cination he would await further ad- vice from the corporation counsel. Dr. Wilcox, town health officer, also favors the recommendation of vacci- nation rather than an order for com- pulsory vaccination. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn opposed an order compelling vaccination, giving his reason that in his opinion present conditions did not warrant such a drastic measure, Ho also felt positive that the people of the town and city would rebel against it. He also said population cf 12,000 is not a menace to the public health to the extent that comptlsery vaccination is necessary At the Opera House. Adelaide ench as Madame X, sup- ported by a good cast, was well re- ceived by a good audience at Loomer's opera house, Triday evening.

Congregational Pastor Would Have Breathing Spot for Mothers as Weli as Children. 1 At the recent meeting of the Con- gregational Brotherhood, among Vari- ous matters brought up was the plan for a_playground. This is Rev. Will- iam S. Beard’s latest pet idea for the welfare of the children and mothers | as well, for he preposed to have seats placed beneath the trees in the vacant lot on Valley street next to the Con- | gregatioral church so that the moth- | ers might rest and converse while their children were at play. Rev. Mr. Beard hopes to have the large vacant lot transformed into a playground for the young folks, not confining the use of the ground to those who attend the Congregational church, but to per- mit &ll who desire to exercise there to_do so. He wishes to haye a handball court laid out, tennis and croquet courts, and a place for the boys to kick a football and throw baseballs, in fact, have an ideal recreation ground for the young people residing \n the vi- cinity of tne church, and any others who may wish to enjoy themselves in a wholesome and harmless manner. | Civil Engineer Homer R. Turner volunteered to survey the lot and es- tablish lmes and des for the pro- posed courts. This offer was applaud- ed by the mem of the Brotherhood as vas the tor's initial proposi- ticn to provide a playground The brotherhood plans to take some of the load from the shoulders of the pastor by assisting him in the work of the management of the various boys and youns men's organizations affili- ated with the church. The brotherhood will hold another supper and meeting toward the latter part of the month wien matters of interest will be fur- ther discussed. Moving to Hartford. Charles A.

Park was the grand juror in the case. Attorney Clar- ence E. Cundail appeared for the state.

BROWNTAIL MOTH Has Invaded Brooklyn and Plainfield— State Entomologist After Pest. Y, entomologist of the Conae>ticut Experfment station, an nounces the discovery of the brown- tall moth in the towns of Brooklyn and Plainfleld, two sections in thie part ot Windham county that have heretofore been considered free from this pest. The total number of nests Jocated this week is less than 200, but those found have served to prove that the moth has | 2 entered new territory and that prompt action must be taken to check f{ts spread, and, If possible, entirely eradi- cate it. M. Caffery and his group of assistants have been wWorking in northeastern Windham county for about six weeks, but have not turned their attention to Brooklyn and Plain- fleld until this week. Such moths' nests as have been found in the two latter towns have been located on small areas, but now a thorough in- vestigation of all of beth towns will he made.

H Reynolds of Day- ville, and Miss Ireno 'T. Bush, daughter of Mrs. J. E. C, Hill of Adams Basin, of $50 and | rior court in_this city Friday, Judge William A. Bennett presiding. Dis- position of matters on the short calen- dar occupied the attention of the court when it first opened at 10 o'clock. Those occupying considerable time | were the case of Edward Rhodes vs. | Willlam E. Segar, a trial on a plea in abatement, having to do with the at- | tachment of oxen of the defendant by | Deputy Sheriff Wickwire of Colchester at Lyman's Viaduct in December last, | and the case of Frank H. Eimore et al, | vs. The Argus Battery company. In | this latter se Attorney Willlam A. King of Willimantic presented motions in re—report of claims and for an or- der for a hearing on clalms. George A. Bartlett of Willimantic, receiver, was in court, but was not called upon to testify. Attorney King, in response to inqui- ry from the court, said that there were about forty claims and some of the principal ones were liable to be con- tested. These are principally covered by notes and amount to about $5,000. When Mr. King asked for an order fix- ing a time for & hearing on the allow- ance of claims, Judge Bennett suggest- ed ‘that the receiver should make up his mind as to which claims he is to allow and which he is to disallow. Judge Bennett said it did not appear to him that the court should issue an order for all creditors to appear. At that point the order was left for the time being. Prison for Horse Thieves. Following the short calendar busi- ness the trial of Edward Mason, North Attleboro, Mass., charged with stealing a horse from Charles M. Fales of the same place, was resumed. This case was commenced Thursday. Mr. Fales was the first witness and saild the horse in question was stolen fram his barn on the night of Nov. 22 last. He said the horse was worth $276. Mr. Fales told of what action he took to trace the stolen rig and of how it was located at Ballouville in Delor Parker's stable, from whom he recovered it. It was shown in Thursday's testimony that Parker had traded with Mason and Hall, his partner, who pleaded gullty Tuesday, for the horse. Mr. Fales said he had known Hall for two vears, but never saw Mason until he came to Pulnam to get the horse. Fol- lowing the taking of Fales' testimony the state rested its case. Attorney Torrey, representing Mason, immedi- ately asked the court to direct a ver- dict to the defendant on the grounds of lack of evidence and failure of the state to prove the ownership of the horse. Judge Bennett denied the mo- tion, whereupon Mr. Torrey sald “The defense rests.” The opening argument for the state was made by Attorney Howard C. Bradford. Attorney Torrey’s argument tended to show the jury that the re- sponsibility for the theft of the horse rested on Hall rather than on '¥s cli- ent. Attorney Searls made ths closing argument. Judge Bennett charged the jury, who were as follows, retiring at 11.45: Florenus E. Clark, Elbert C. Kinney, William I, Kennedy, all of Putnam; James Johnson. Windham; George A. Keach, Eastford; Charles . Burnham, Hampton; Hdward McRoy, Clayton ¥. Wright, Wesley Wilson, all of Killingly; Henry K. Loring, John W. Capwell, both of Plainfleld; Arthur Morse, Woodstock. Not having agreed on a verdict at 1.15 Judge Bennett re- called the jury and excused them until o'clock, when they again considered the case. At 3 o'clock the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Judge Bennett sentenced Mason and his partner, Hen- ry Hall, to serve from one to three years each in the state prison Divorce for Aggrieved Wife. Uncontested divorce cases came up for consideration ¥riday. On the ground of intolerable orueity Lillian I Winch of North Grosvenordale was given a decree divorcing her from Burnside J.
