Fire Commissioners Direct lts lm allntm—-—-Wfl Be Paid F& By State and be Only lfor Calls From County Sanafonum | «—Hydrants at the Tuberculosis Institution Have 25 ¢ Paouunds Pressure. A private fire alarm box, which is to be No. 137, is to be installed .at the vew New London County Tuber- culrssis sanatorium here, thus affording hg frame buildings of the ‘institution protection through the Norwich fire «fepartment. The superintendent, Dr. HFugh B. Campbell, consulted with Chief H. L. Stanton about having the sanatorium under fire protection from ‘this city and the fire commissioners } voted at a recent meeting to- allow | the box to be imstalled. The state pays | for the box and the whole cost of ' equipment. Chief Stanton has the box | ordered. The sanatorium is half a mile be- yond the city line, but the commis- sioners decided that they could not do less than put the buildings, which are all of frame comstruction, under special fire protection from here. As the box is private, it will be struck enly for fires in the sanatorium it- self, and not for anything in the sur- rounding neighborhoeod. Hydrants have been set in the san- atorium grounds, which show a sta- tic pressure of 25 pounds at the high- est point. Poles for the telephone and electric light wirés are now being set. There are to be tem of these needed. for the line to reach the buildingl. State Commission’s Report. The state tuberculosis commission in the tweo years ending Sept. 30 last ex- pended for board, ~ construction anrd other accounts for -the county homes for treatment of the white plague suf- ferers $152,260, and an additional $199,_ 040 for maintenance of patients. The «<commission had $42,157 on hand in «<losing the accounts. The biennial re- port has just been made to the gov- ernor. There are several striking thinges about the report. A dearth of woman's kindness is pointed out be- cause women have mot actively shown their interest in the work of amelior- ating the condition of tuberculosis pa- tientst. They may have contributed much money for the cause, but they have withheld sympathy. More Mothering Needed. The report says: “Occasionally a «<church choir, or a few actors or ac- tresses moved by their love of their kind have appeared at one or other of the sanatoria and made pleasure for the patients. But the institutions _have not been properly ‘mothered.’ Fooq waste in the kitchens of sana- toria reached a shoeking point, accord- ing to the report, and efforts were made to lessen it. The fault -does not lile with the officials or servants, It lies In the nature of the institution. Fire danger is ever present in the buildings owing to their construction. Unruly patients, especially those who “persist in drinking Jargé quantities of whisky that deluded friends bring in,” need restraint. It is suggested that eventually the state will have to erect a sanatorium for persomns who have been committeq to penal imstitutions, and then bad patients can be sent there for restraint. Sanatoria Ample. The report indicates that the san- atoria are amply able to care for all patients who apply for treatment. There have been empty beds in the Meriden sanatorium and these will be increased as well as empty beds made elsewheré by the opening of the Nor- wich institution. Living in the open alr and eating good food and grinking much milk is declared to be the best way to*treat the disease. Drugs and nostrums are of no avail. Costs of food and labor in 1911 were greater than had been es- i ‘l FOUND STRICHNINE TABLETS 1N BOX OF BUTTONS. Langevin Child in Ledy:r\i Probably Ate Some With Fatal Resuits. In continuing his investigation of the death of 5 year old Rosa E. Langevin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon L.angevin of Ledyard, Coroner Frank- lin H. Brown has found that there were tablets in heuse containing pos- sibly from 1-60th to 1-120th grain of strychnine, and it is probable that the 11ttle girl, with the other child which was taken sick, had got hold of these and had eaten some. In the autopsy which was held no traces of poisom were found in the ongans that were examined, but this is thought to be due to the wvery small amount of the poison which the child got, but which was enough, however, to cause her death. The tablets were loose in a box in the house, mixed in with a lot of buttons, and were where the chil- dren could get at them. They had been prescribed a year ago for the girl's father, the coroner said, for treatment for rheumatism. The two children who wers affected ate different things at breakfast, but toth showed all the sympioms of strichnine poisoning. The little girl who died had just finished eating two pancakes when, she fell to the floor and soon daied. The other ¢hild ate something entirely different, but show- ed the same symptoms. She recover- ed, however. The coroner has not yet concluded his investigation and issued his find- ing. MILITARY EXAMINATIONS Ordered for Connecticut Officers—To Be Held at Hartford. i Pursuant to fthe provisions of gen- 9ral statutes a board has been appoint- i by the adjutant general to meet at gxa state armory, Hartford, Monday eb. 10, to inguire into the capacity, Jualifications and efficien of certain fMcers who may be ordered or author- ed to appear before said board who ave been commissioned or nominated for commission. or promotion in the Connecticut National guard. The detail for the examining boari: Col. Edward Schulze, Maj. William M. Stark, Capt.’ Majr‘o)m P. Andruss, in- spector instructor, U. S. A, First Lieut. Paul Waterman. Examinations will be conducted and markings given as prescribed in gen- eral orders. Officers ordered for ex- amination will aiso be examined phy- sically to determine their fitness for active service. The following named officers of the Coast Artiliery corps have been or- dered to appear for examination Lieut. Col. Henry S. Dorsey, Iflnjt Vincent M. Kifig, Capt. Morris Payne, Lieut. George S. Gadbois. Lieut. Louis J. Brague, Lieut. Albert W. Bar- rows, Tdeut. James 8. Duffy, Lieut. Frank E. Withee, Iieut. Ralph P. Hurlbutt. The application of Cant. Richard W. DeLamater, Company K, First infant- ry, to be retired, is approved and he is relieved from active duty in the military service of this state and placed upon the retired list, C. aG. In accordance with a Rntence of a summary court, the following mem- bers of First infantry, C. N. G., have been discharged from the military service of the state for the benefit of the service, to date Jan. 6: Musician Winliam J. Moran, Private Herman Katz and Private Frank T. Baldwin, Company H. . Postmaster at Fitchviile. The post office department on Tues- day issued a commission to Lewis B. Brand, as fourth class postmaster at timated when -appropriations were asked of the general assembly. . This State in the Lead. The report says that Connecticut's method of attacking her tuberculosis problem is different in many ways from that of other States and in some ways in advance of any other state. It then takes up the work and the im- provaments made at the four sanato- riums at Meriden, Shelton, Hartford and Norwich. According to the Te- port, the tuberculosis commission has but a little more than $50,000 for use the coming year and ‘the general as- sembly will have to be asked for an appropriation early in the year. Beach Owners Scored. The difficulties encountered in the attempt to secure a site fon a sana- torium at the seashore for those suf- fering from tuberculosis of the glands and bones is fully discussed. AIl the sites that have been selected have been fought against by summer cot- tagers, and thus far the state has been unable to secure a site because of their opposition. On this the report says: ‘“We consider it an intolerable condi- tion that the little girls and boys of the state who through no fault of theirs are afflicted with a wasting and incapacitating ailment, and for whom God has provided in their own state an ‘almost certain means of cure or re- lief, to which they could and should have aceess 52 weeks in the year, are to be deprived entirely of that means of cure and to be left at home in pain and despair, merely because some summer cottagers who use the- beach for only eight weeks of the vear desire to remain ignorant of other people’s sufferings, oér have sordid and unrea- sonable fears of a depreciation of their property.” The commission will ask the-gen- éral assembly to change the names of the sanatoriums from ‘““County Homes"” to “State Tuberculosis Sanatoria,” as the former mname has conveyed the idea that each county is entitled to such an institution and that the ap- propriations of the legislature meant that in effect. Patients in Sanatoria. At the Merlden sanatorium there were 384 males and 152 females ad- mitted from October 1, 1910, to Octo- ber 1, 1912, The number discharged in that’" time was 229 males and 20 females. The total number of deaths was 141 males and 5% females. The number of patients remaining Oectober 1, 1912, was 74 males and 34 females. The work at Shelton shows that the number of patients received for the year ending September 20, 1912, was 27 males and 75 females: the number passing out of the institution in that perlod was 100 males and 53 females. The number at the end of the year was 60 males and 38 females, The report of the Hartforad institu- tion for the year ending September 20, 1912, shows 197 males and 103 females received and the number passing out 126 males and 73 °females. At the end of the year there were 75 males and 33 females in the institution. Secretary’s Report. The report of the secretary, George L Allen, shows that $77,783.43 was ex- pended for the maintenance of the Meriden institution, $67,287.72 for the Hartford institution, end $53955.56 for Sheiton, te a total of $199,046.71. The total amount spent by the board ful“‘ construction, etc, was $152,2€0.85, and, the total amount expended $351, 301.56.

Chicago, Jan. 15.—With the indict- ment today .of Joseph.<Clarke, for &n alleged attempt to bribe ah assistant state's attormey hot to prosecute az; arson case, as a text, A. A. Bach, chie deputy states fire marshal, told a re- markable story of organized incendiar- ism. Ten per cent. of Chicago’s fires are incendiary, Bach said. “There are three men in Chicago, known as insurance adjusters, who of- ten get to fires before tite fil They sleep with their clothes on, hnve You Won’t Want to '{ide Your Back, Neck and Face-After Using Stuart's Calcium Wafers. | REMNANT WEEK A Week of Mweyisavmg Opportunities This is Remmnant Week — the greatest mgah-m _occasion of the month.

They offer bribes to detectives frequently . but never when there is a. witness present, thus leavihg it one man’s word against another. “Often we are informed days in ad- vance of when fires are to be atarted. In that way we are able to prevent many blazes. In many instances we have had detectives watching buildings that have been marked for the torc! We have had tips that have led us to buildings with basemente filled with excelsior, the Tloor saturated with oil and the stock packed in combustible materfal. All that we could do was to notify the insurance company and have the insurance cancelled. In su¢h cases the fires were not started. ‘It is possible for anyone to get a building fired in Chicago. Charges vary, according to the magnitude of the fire. For large fires the charge is one per cent. and even at that price the fire bugs make money. I do not know a single conviction for arson in Chicago in the last 18 months.” INDIANA FARMERS FLEE FROM HOMES. Ohic River S@Tflarg{;g the Country Around Evansville.
