(Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 10.—The commit- tee on humane institutions gave a hearing Wednesday afternoon at the capitol on the resolution appropriating $10,000 for the erection and construc- tion of a nurses' dormitory for_ the William W. Backus hospital at Nor- wich. Senator Barnes gave notice that he would file with the committee & substitute bill changing the sum to $15,000. He quoted from the govern- or's message to show that the hospi- tals of the state must be maintained, 0 the talk of economy should not ap- Ply to hospitals. He said that in the past the Backus hospital has refused the usual $5,000 allowed hospitals and ought therefore to have at least $30,- 000 to its credit. It was one of the best hospital plants in the state, but is sadly in need of a nurses’ dormitory, as the accommodations are now en- tirely inadequate and ought to be pro- vided. Winslow T. Willlams, president of the board of trustees submitted com- munications from prominent people in Norwich urging the passage of the resolution that would carry with it the appropriation. In twenty years the hospital has received from the state $64,250 and was entitled more, and this is practically asl for a part of that amount by instal- ment. He showed the great increase in the work of the hospital, but with- out improving the conditions for the convenience, accommodation and act- ual need. The present dormitory con- ditions are a disgrace and there have been instances where one bed has been occupled by three nurses at different times within twenty-four hours, and it is diMcult to get proper persons for nurses where there is not reasonable sanitary conditions. He said he would be glad to have the committeemen visit the hospital and ascertain for themselves the evisting conditions in regard to the nurses’ accommodations, or lack of accommodations. Frank L.-Woodard, treasurer of the hospital, also emphasized the need of proper accommodations for the nurses and told of the financial condition and the inability to make needed improve- ments without state aid. Senator Barnes suggested to the committee that when visitation is made the state hospital, and the pro- posed site for the state school for the feeble-minded, that they include Backus hospital in the itinerary. F. Leon Hutchinson, superintendent: of the hospital, told in detall of the cramped conditions that existed in re- gard to the nurses’ accommodations, in comparison with other like institu- tions, and the absolute need of this proposed nurses' dormitory. The ac- commodations are so inadequate that even the directors’ room is utilized as_a sleeping_room for nurses. Willlam B. Young told the commit- tee that he was thoroughly familiar with the Backus hospltal and its needs and that there was absolute need for a nurses’ dormitory. If the whole peo- ple of the state realized the existing conditions, there would not be the slightest objection to the proposition for an appropriation for the nurses' dormitory at the Backus hospital Mr. Willlams said that while some patients pay all the charges still there was more or less charity in every case treated at the hospital. Reprefentative Bailey of Norwich spoke of the excellence of the Backus hospital, and said that Norwich was the only city of its size that had but one hospital, vet the work of the hos- pital is efficfent. This despite the fact of the inadequate and unsanitary pro- visions that are forced upon the nurses. He advocated in strong terms favorable report on the part of the commlittee and urgence of its passage in_the general assembly, No opposition appeared, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES COMING THIS WAY. Will Visit Norwich Institutions for Which Appropriations Are Asked. (Special to The Bulletin.) * The members of the legislative com- mittees on appropriations and humane institutions will devote two days next week to a tour of inspection and in- vestigation in connection with matters pending in the legislature.

It is planned to tender the legislative delegation a banquet in New London, perhaps under the auspices of the New London Cham- ber of Commerce, with Mayor Mahan, Senator Whiton and Representatives Cronin and Brown on the reception committee.

S. CUSTOM SERVICE. Max Abrams Arrested at His Store in New London. Max_Abrams, of Abrams & Co. of New London, importers of Indlan baskets and novelty dealers, was ar- rested Wednesday morning at his place of business, 39 Bank street, in that city, charged with defrauding the cus- toms service of the United States. Jo- seph S. Abrams, brother of Max, was arrested last Friday at Windsor, Vt. Max Abrams was taken to Jewett| ¥y to be arraigned before United States Commissioner _ Henry H. Burnham, the nearest official of that capacity. Held in $5000 Bail. ‘When he pleaded not guilty to the charge of defrauding the cusioms ser- vige, and furnished bonds In $5,000 for appearance before the federal court in May, at Windsor, Vt. His bondsman was 'F. M. Smith of New London. Abrams protested against his arrest, claiming that he had submitied to ar- rest in New York, where Indictments against his brother and himself were found by a federal grand jury. lax Abrams said he had given a bond in the federal court in New York of $5,000 and his statement was verified y his counsel, Judge Arthur E. Cal- Kins. Joseph S. Abrams, the other mem- ber of the firm, was arrested at Wind- sor on returning from a business trip into Canada. He was arralgned be- fore a commissioner of the United States there, and it was agreed h should go to New York. There, ac cording to Max Abrams and his at- torney, Max surrendered himself and the two brothers were admitted to bail to appear to plead at a later date. United States Deputy Marshal Tim- othy E. Hawiey knew nothing of this action. He knew only that he had been given a warrant to serve and fhis warrant he knew was directed against Max Abrams. By a misunderstand- ing_the warrant called for the arr of Morris Abrams and the deputy marshal alleged that Max had been known acs Merris in transactions on which the prosecution is based, Judge Calkins called United States District Attorney Scott by telephone in Hartford and explained the predic- ament of his client to him_ The dis- trict attorney had no official knowl- edge that Max Abrams had previously been arrested and insisted on the se: vice of the warrant. United Stat Commissioner Charles W. Butler is in New York and as Judze Rurnham, who is also county liquor proseeuting agent, was busy in Jewett City, it was neceasary for the defendant to go there to be arraigned. District At- torney Scott agreed with Judge Calk- ins that $5,000 would be ample bond and he informed the commissloner of this decision. Max Abrams came back to New London on a midnight train from New York. He said he went to his home at 40 Pearl street and went to bed without knowing that Deputy Marshal Hawley had been spending the day and the night here looking for him. The deputy learned Wednesday morn- ing that Abrams had returned to town and enlisting the aid of the policeman who knew Abrams, set out to look for him. Abrams had left home and the officers found him in the Aborn hall building, where Abrams & Co., have sales and store rooms. The deputy marshal took his pris- oner to the counsel's office where there was a consultation regarding the duplication of arrest. It ended with the decision that Abrams must 80 to Jewett City and after arraign- ment return to New London, if bonds were acceptable to the commissioner. The Abrams brothers have been in business in New London about five years. Max spent his time there and in New York, where the firm had ex- tensive trade in Indian baskets. Jo- seph spent most of his time beyond the Canadian border, visiting Indian tribes and buying their products of grass baskets. The business, accord- Ing to friends of the two men, was highly successful and by close atten- tion to it the brothers had developed a wide fleld. In New Yerk, it is said, attention was attracted to Abrams & Co., be- cause they undersold by large margins competing imperters. The reason for thelr underselling_interested competi- tors no more than it did_the customs officials and as early as July 26, 1912, the first date named In the war- rant, special agents began to scrutin- ize 'the business of Abrams & Co. Dutles were paid on the involces, which showed, it is _aleged, that Abrams & Co., bought baskets at re- markably low cost in comparison with what they were sold for. Both Joseph and Max Abrams are well known in New London. They moved in good society and were con- sidered wealthy. GLASGO POSTMASTERSHIP TO SECOND ELIGIBLE.
