The national association announces that the date of Tuberculosis day, when churches and religious bodies generally will be asked to give special attention to the means of preventing tuberculosis, has been changed from April 28, to Sunday, October 27.

Plaut, who has been a traveler on foreign shores for the past two months, the streets of: Norwich were lined with people Thursday evening, A more en- thusiastic welcome to the Rose of New England has never heen the lot of a rivate individual than that accorded ordie Plaut by several thousand peo- ple immediateiy after the 9.02 train rolled into the New Haven station last night. As Mr. Plaut, his face lit up with his old familiar smile at RUTHERFORD C. PLAUT, the joy of getting home again, step- ped out of the ecar, the crowd of pecple ralsed” a prolonged cheer, the band clashed into a resounding wel- come, and red fire blazed all along the line. William F. Hill and Herbert M. Lerou dashed through the people who thronged the station platform, and with the help of two policemen, cleared a lane for Norwich's homecoming son to the automobile containing Mayor Mur- phy, which awaited them, Julius W. Cadden, who went down to New Lon- don to meet Mr. Plaut, also occupied a seat in the machine, which led the procession that wound around through the business streets of the city and finally ended up in front of the Wau- regan, where the Mayor extended the heartiest of welcomes in behalf of the city and Mr. Plaut voiced his pleasure at getting back among his friends. Not until his train came out onto the bridge and he saw the red .fire torches lightiny up the crowds around the station did the popular young homecomer suspect the welcome that his friends had arranged in his honor. At New London, on the arrival of the New York train there at 8.22, he had already met with a cordial reception from several automobile parties of his friends in that city. Mr. Cadden of this city also met him there and to- gether they came up to Norwich. Down the river they warned Mr. Plaut to be prepared for a shock when he got to Norwich, but he was almost dazed with surprise when he saw the size of the demonstration, But he recovered himself, swung his hat to the crowd that would not let him speak, and after some scores of handshakes found himself safe at the head of the auto- mobile procession. The string of a dozen cars went up Franklin street, past the Bulletin office to Willow, down Broadway, over Main street and down by the Auditorium, and then back Main to the Wauregan, where Tubbs’' band withdrew and the people pressed about the car to hear the speechmaking. Mayor Murphy neatly expressed himself in extending a hearty welcome to Mr, Plaut to his old home, the Rosa of New England, and he said he was expressing the sentiments of all Mr. Plaut’s friends, The people of Nor- wich appreciated, the mayor seld, the work he had done for his city, Amid cheers, Mr, Plaut arose, ‘“Mr, Mayor," he said, “and everybody: I really don’t kmow what to say, and if I did I'ceuld- n't say it But Fordie's witty sallies drew repeated laughter from his audi~ ence and in conclusion he seid; 4 “T have traveled several thousand miles since T left Norwich, and I have seen several eitles, sixty-two of them, ci- ties that were citles, but, believe me, I am going to tell the truth for once. Norwich looks good to me.” Entertained at Banguet. Following his triumphal procession through the city streets, Mr. Plaut was the guest of honor at a banquet given at the Wauregan by the em- ployes of the Plaut-Cadden company. They had already earlier in the even- ing decked the Main street store with flags. The dinner was a delightful af- fair, Mr. Plaut regaling the company with an absorbing description of some of his experiences abroad. The party, besides the guest of honmor, included J. W, Cadden, F. W. Guild, J. F. March, Abraham Curland, Herman Sears, Fritz Erickson, Simon Blinderman, »August Wasserman and Misses Delia Sabou- rin, “Sallie McNamara, Elsie Bogue and Helen Sulllvan. The menu was the following: Little Neck Cocktail. Chicken Gumbo Soup. Salted Nuts. New Celery. Spring Chicken en Caserole, Words of Welcome From Mayor Murphy—Bangquet by s e Tomato and Lettuce Salad. Assorted French Cream. Fancy Cake. Toasted Water Wafers. Roqueforte Cheese. Demi-Tasse. Recounts His Travels. When the demi-tasse was brought on Mr. Plaut was called upon for a re- cital of his adventures and this he gave Driefly and most interestingly. Leaving New York on June 8, Mr. Plaut experienced a smooth trip across, reaching Plymouth the following SBun- day night and Hamburg two days later, the steamer having stopped at Cherbourg. France, before continuing to Cuxhaven, the port of Hamburg. At Hamburg the big derby races were in progress and these Mr. Plaut saw. The Germ; emperor and empress werc also there and many of the nobility. Berlin, his next stopping place, im- pressed the traveler as a city modern in every respect and perhaps the finest town he saw in Europe. The people dress there even better than in New York city, and Americans are to be met on every street. He saw the American athletes there on their way to the Olympic games. Visits to the imperial palace, Sans Souc!, Cassel, with itg historic old castle reached by ascending 900 steps, and Coblenz were points of much interest. Reminded of Home. Going up the Rhine, Mr. Plaut saw an American flag and other things that reminded him of home. Visiting Mainz, Frankfort, Augsburg (where Mr, Wasserman came from), Fordie ex- plained and passed on historic old Nu- remberg. Mr. Plaut found himself in Munich for the Fourth. The day was featured by a bal]l game among the Americans and . Plaut would not give out what position he played. Tested Police System. Here he lost the address of a friend in that city and he went to police headquarters and in a few minutes’ time, for the sum of 20 pfennig, or 5 cents, he had his information. To test their police system, he then asked if they could get trace of a Ruther- ford C, Plaut who was in the city. In a fow minutes more they brought out this information and the visitor went awny marveling at the efficiency of the German pollce. He also kmew, why at i his hotel he had had to supply so many details about himself. Photographed at 8t. Mark's. Through the famous Brenner pass he crossed to Insbruch on the Austri- an frontler and then continued down through the Tyrol to Verona in Italy. He saw the house there where the present Pope was born, In Venlice he saw the impressive sight of a funeral procession on a canal, gondolas serv- ing as hearse and coaches, and he had a photograph taken of himself feeding the doves in front of 8t. Mark's. Rom« did not come up to his expectst and he retraced his steps nori) to Milan. Through the ‘mari.i ul nels of the Bt. Gotthard pass he jour. neyed into Switzerlund of surpassing hearity, capped peaks «f the Alps he could look down Lo the green pastures and fruitful vineyards of the valleys, Lucerne, with its famous lion, im- ed Mr, Plaut as another thor- y modern city, and he enjoyed hiniself crossing Lake Geneva to Bern and Lausanne, European Sleeping Cars. He journeyed from the last named city to Paris in what’ was claimed to be the finest sleeping train in Burope. At the conclusion of the trip Mr. Plaut felt sincerely sorry for all Europeans who travel by night. In theé middle of the night he was waked up by a French inspector on_the border and not only was his grip examined, but his bed had to be pulled to pieces in the search for smuggled articles, Matches are an especially hard thing to get into France, as matchmaking is a govern- ment industry and compatition is dis- liked. Brussels appealed to Mr, Plaut, as it does to mest tourists, more fa- vorably than did Pafis. One of the reasons why “little Paris,” as it is call- ed, is so popular with Americans is that the hotels are good and they are not robbed, as In almost all other Eu- ropean cities. The portable bathhouses at Ostend were interestingly described by Mr, Plaut, who was also struck by the big betting there at the races. Women Employed by Raileoads. A Furopean characteristic that im- pressed him was the general lack of respect for the womne. The men would take off their hats to other men, but not so to women. And he found women brakemen on the trains, wom- en gate-tenders, women doing most anything. The Last Leg of the Trip. Crossing the channel, to Dover, Mr. Plaut inspected the mammoth fortifi- cations there and then continued to London, where he saw quite a little of royalty ang of the taxes that it places on the English people. He met many Americans in the metropolis, which he left on July 21 for Southampton, from which port he salled at 10 o'clock the same night for home. The General Grant carried 2,022 passengers, 816 of them being emigrants. It was a rough voyage coming back. . Wireless from Fellow. Citizens. In mid océan Mr., Plaut was cheered by the receipt of A marconigram Sun- day night from Joseph Boylan and Morgan Cronin, who were passing on their steamer bound for Europe, and a few minutes later he sent back a reply. By the daily newspaper print- ed on board ship Mr. Plaut kept in touch with the ball games and got the news of the political world without delay. Both on the way over and back Mr. Plaut had a ugmra in ar- ranging a concert for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the Titanic disaster. Three deaths occurred on the -trip and thrice the great ship stopped at night for the solemn burial at sea, Fog banks were encountered one after another and made the voy- age slew. The fameus racehorse Uhlan was on board the boat with a dozen others of C. K. Billings' stable, and was insured for $80,000 before being shipped. The herses occupied the en- tire steerage dining cabin of the ship. Mr. Plaut arrived in New York Wed- nesday night at 6 o'clock, FUNERALS. Miss Mary J. Slattery. The funeral of Miss Mary J. Stat- tery, daughter of the late Edward and Mary Slattery, was held from her late home, 176 Franklin street, at 8.30 o'clock Thursday morning. There was & large attendance of relatives and friends and there were numerous flor- al offerings. Rev.

AS QRAIN SHIPPING PORT Develor ment to Fallow the Building of the $1,000000 Wharves. ‘The commission on steamship termi- nals at New London will establish an office there for the engineer and go ahead with plans for wharfs, storage warehouses and other terminal fea- tures, probably including graln eleva- tor: The entire harbor in three towns— New London, Waterford and Groton— as the $1,000,000 appropriation bill provides, will be surveyed, borings made and the best sites for wharves from a shipping point of view will be selected by the engineers. It is sald that the commission has received assurances from a man who owns two grain elevators in Buffalo, N. Y, and controls three others, prac- tically controliing the mrain busines of the lake port, that he will lease a graln elevator in New London as soon as it can be erected. The members of the commission are certain that New London will be made the uitimate terminal for grain business handled in the barge canal, for which New York state {s expending $125,000,000, The members of the commission be- lleve that this will mean the erection of numerous grain elevators in New London and an enormous grain ship- ping business for that port. The steam canal barges will have no difficulty in making the trip from New York city to New London through the'shel- tered Long Island sound route and once there they wil find cost of trans- ferring cargoes and storing grain in elevators far less than in New York.

Columbia Sheep Case and Suit Over Bond Will Geo te Supreme Court. The papers in two appeals to the supreme court of errors have been filed with Clerk Parsons, both coming from the court of common pleas. . The first, entitled Amherst B. Scoville and others vs. town of Columbia, is a sult over one sheep alleged to have been ‘killed by dogs. Buit was brought in December, 1911, by Amherst B, Scoville nd wife against the town of Columbia for the loss of the sheep. Demages of $25 were claimed, based upon a claim of $8 for the loss of the sheep and expense and time in finding its remains and & further claim of $4 in depreciation of the value of a lamb, two months old, the progeny of the dead sheep. The sheep disappeared June 17, 1911, but Its remains were not found until Sept. 3, 1911. In the trial of the case before Justice of the Peace Reuben P. Burgess the plaintiff was given a ver- diet to recover $19 dumages with costs of $11.50. From this judgment the town of Columbia appealed to the court of common pleas, obtaining a non-suit against the plaintiff. Scoville, and to recover costs of the plaintiff taxed at $39.14. A motion to set aside the non-suit was denied by Judge ‘Waller. Now the plaintiff, Scoville, appeals to the supreme court of errors at its October term to be held her An appeal to the supreme court of errors has also been filed in the case of Henry H. Gallup vs. American Bonding company and other The plaintiff brought suit in the court of common pleas in Norwich, claiming $800 damages.
