The men descended on the gzv camp about eight o'clock. There were twelve or fifteen in the gypsy party, including several children, and it 18 salg that at sight of the invaders the men departed, leaving the women to look oul for themselves and the chil- dren. Annie R. Johnson was knocked down by one of the men, a string of beads about her neck with several ld pieces on it was ripped off, and she'received several kicks. She agose and started to run away and one of the men pulled a revolver and fired at he : pullet went between her body and her arm, she claimed, but no blood was drawn, and her dress was not even injured. One ruffan proceeded to knock down 14-year-old Mary Johnson, and attempted to rape her, but the girl was able to get away from her drunken assailant. A third woman, Catherine Johnson, was then knocked down, and the same treat- ment was accorded the fourth woman, Lula_Johnson, who was also kicked in the ba one of*the women was serlou hurt, but their faces were ly streaked with dirt, and much dishev- elled and agitated they made their ay to the home of Mrs. B.

They were searched and on Thomas McGrath, $90 was found and there was $36 on his brother. The other men did not seem to have any money on them. In the McGrath house was found a lighted lantern, taken from the gypsy camp, and two of them were positively identified by the women as their assailants. Sheriff Stanton found a revolver hidden among some clothes in the McGrath house, with the chambers all discharged, .It show- ed signs of recent use. The men spent the night in cells at the police station and they will be presented befors a' grand juror of {l town of Lebanon. The outery raised by the women and children of the gypsy camp arous- ed the neighborhood and there were soon many looking for the drunken raiders. In the excitement several in- nocent chaps were held up by well- intentioned searchers, Sheriff Draper being called by ope man who had found a man in the bushes. and had him captive at the point of two guns, This man proved his innocence and was let go. Deputy Sheriff George H. Stanton, who brought in John Wesley, heard several conflicting stories from the man concerning his Whereabouts. Wes- ley had a lot of money on him. He is a native of Bozrahville, but has been working in New Hampshire and ™ only arrived back ~here Wednesday morning. It is claimed that the four men came to the place In a team.

The assistance of Con- ductor Wilmot helped in the arrest. Supt. Stephen J. Kehoe of the trolley road was on the first car when the men were put off.

OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE OF MOSQUITOES Connecticut Shore Resorts Find the Plagus. Growing—insects Could Be Cheagly Banished. Connecticut's coast towns are rap- idly coming under the plague of the mosquito, according to a bulletin is- sued by the Conmecticut agricultural experiment station, which places the blame to a large extent upon the neglect of the salt marshes. The - mosquito plague is growing every year and the salt marshes along the coast furnish the principal part of the mosquito plague of tlie southern portion of the state. Contrary to the habits of most mbsquitoes, those of the salt marsh species are large and very abundant, make life a burden to many inhabitants, and keep away many others who would otherwise summer on the CoOmnecticut coast. This condition results in preventing the proper Gevelopment of a legitimate business and the peopie of the state are o much poorer on account of it. That the remedy is not impossible, nor impracticable, nor o expensive as most people suppose, and that for ag- ricultural purposes the land is greatly improved by the treatment offered, is shown by ihe investigation made. Two Species. There are two species of mosquitoes which breed abundantly on the salt marshes and which are known as the brown salt marsh mosquito and the banded salt march mosquito, The first named breeds early in the year, and migrates inland to a considerable dis- tance. The banded mosquito appears about July 1 and replaces the brown for the rest of the season. Malarial Mosquito. In addition there are several species of mosquitoes which invariably breed in the fresh water pools that are found in the rear of salt water marshes. The malarial mosquito is the greatest and most _dangerous pest of these. By abolishing the breeding places of the salt meadows, the malarial mosquito will also be affected, in that the water is drained from its breeding places to a considerable extent. The rain barrel mosquito is a local plague, and does not constitute any important part of the mosquito plague of the Conmecticut coast. 34 Square Miles of Salt Marsh. The salt or tide water marshes of this state contain 22,264 acres, or 8479 square miles in the middle part of the coast region, or that portion bounded on the west by the Sauga- tuck and on the east by the Connec- tlcut rivers. The largest portion of it in the entire state is the Quinni- piac marsh, which contains 3,600 acres. Fifty per cent. of the salt meadow portion was -drained a good many years ago for salt hay farming. But since then this industry has been abandoned, to & large extent, the ditches have become clogged and mos- quitoes are increasing at an alarming rate, Worse Than 30 Years Ago. The experts of the experiment sta- tion say: “In many cases the marshes are In worse condition today than they were 30 or 50 years ago and mosqui- toes are correspondingly more numer- ous. Wherever the march becomes sufficiently congested, water stands, the turf rots and a depression s formed | thich increases in size and breeds m Vions of mosquitoes. Tide- gates will not remedy the evil unless the land i properly drained and the ditches kept open and free from ob- structions. “Some communities made a start toward improving the conditions of the marches. Nearly seven miles of coast marsh land was dralned in 1911." Draining Would Be Cheap. Experts hold that marshes can be drained at a cost of from five to ten dollars per acre. If some of the big contractors were called in with their ditohing machinery the 23,264 acres could be drained at a cost not to ex- ceed $178,113. This would wipe out the mosquito plague in Connesticut in one or two seasons. The cost of ditchl varies, according to the conditions, an: in some places the work can be done thoroughly with lasting results for less than 32 per acre. “The mosquitoes can be eliminated from the Connecticut coast” say the experts, “And when they are there will be no more ‘attractive place in the country than the Cennecticut coast. The raflread and transportation com- panies will reap a harvest from the in- have recently “greased summer traffic, The mearchants which in turn shou! ulations as will considering plans 'gg':c ticut agricultural experi- ‘onnec ural ex) ment sation h:u.u a leaflet ‘on the . subject, known as Bulletin No. 178, and which can be’ obtained free o charge and should be in mfi huds'm every interesteq person.

DEMONSTRATING GAMEWELL POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM Apparatus Set Up at Polics Hiad. ‘quarters—Outside Fo- Wil Be Placed—Price of 35,250 Quoeted for Norwich HNee For (wo Rours on Wednesday eve- yn7. Police Commissioners Dr. Will- . m U, McLaughlin, Ellsworth E. Bak- er and Albert E.Cruthers, with Chiet George Linton and Mayor T. C. Mur- phy considered the needs of the city of Norwich in regard to a police tel- ephone and signal telegraph system. For five weeks now Norwich has been without a telephone system, since the commissioners ordered the discontin: ance of the police boxes that have been in use by the department approx- imately a quarter of & century. The officers have been depending on pri- vate telephones for communicating with headquarters and the demand for a modern signaling system is upgent. Set up behind the desk at police headquarters was an exhibition of the police telegraph apparatus of the Gamewell company of New York, in- cluding a signal box And the operating board, while in the officers’ room an- other signal box had been placed in position. F. M. Tiffany of the Boston office of the company was present and ex- plained and demonstrated the opera- tion of the signal system and it work- ed in a reliable and efficient manner. This morning the second signal box will Dbe transferred to the pole on Broadway near the Y. M. C. A. bulld- ing and a_demonstration wiil be given anyone who is interested. The commissioners and the twg other officialy went over the map of Norwich thoroughly and they decided that ten signal boxes were needed throughout the city. They did not de- cide definitely where these should be located. The Gamewell system, to comply with the local requirements, would consist of the ten call signal boxes, a four-cireuit police signal cab- inet desk and about seven miles of connecting wire. The total price of the system would reach $5,330, or thereabouts. The Gamewell apparatus for munic- ipal police departments ix in use in ail the large citles of the country, and it 18 found to be of the greatest value and even essentlal to secure the greatest efficiency in a force. By the installation of & tem-box system in Norwich to replace the four boxes that have been in use, the efficiency of the department will be more than doubled, the commissioners belleve, Briefly described, the Gamewell sys- tem on exhibition here today 'pro- vides for the transmission of tele- graphic report and emergency sig- nals and also for telephonic communi- cation between the patrol stations and headquarters. The signal box contains three emergency calls, for the patrol wagon, telephone and ambulance, four report calls for ag many offl The calls are operated by a me ism controlled by a handie reached i unlocking the door and the signals are received by a perforating register at the central station. The code indi- cated on the paper strip just what and where the trouble is, and also prints the year, month, day, hour and minute at which the call was sent in. The strip of perforated paper may be kept as a record. The automatic clock on the recelving apparatus changes from the 30th to the 318t of a mopth and allows for leap years when they come along, winding being the only atten- tion needed. The signal box also has a hole for a citizen's key, whereby a responsible citizen to whom a key may be entrusted may send in an alarm and get police assistance. The citizen’ key does not unlock the door &nd may not be extraoted from its keyhole until the officer arrives. This arrangement which enables a call to be sent in without unlocking the bex will also be of help to an officer with an unruly prisoner. If an officer is wanted 1o telephone headquarters, a switch at headquar- ters operates an automatic buzzer in the gignal box. The 18 volts necessary for the operation of the four circuits is supplied by an open circult Samp- son battery. - The four circuits that are proposed with ten boxes at pres. ent will accommodate additions and extentions up to twenty boxes per cir- cuit, thus providing amply for the day when Norwich Town and Yantic be- come integral parts of the city Incidents In Society.
