WOULDN’T HAVE DOCTOR; WAS FOUND DEAD Nelson Rogers, 79 Years of Age, Re- fused Medical Aid. Alone and refusing medical attend ance to the last, Nelson S. Rogers, 79 years old, a recluse, was found dead in bed in his home at 15 Cutler street, Friday ‘morning. Death is attributed to_pneumonia and a weak heart. Rogers, who has been living the life of a hermit, had been in failing health for some time. He took cold recently which settled upon his lungs. Rog- ers is said to have been an amateur physiciah and being rather eccentric he refused medical attendance. Christopher -Rockwell, living next door, has been in the habit of taking care of the old man for some time past. Thursday night, following his usual customs Rockwell went to Rog- ers’ house to administer to his wants and found him in bad shape. He was coughing heavily and was spitting blood. Mr. Rockwell fixed him up as usual, taking care of his fires for the night and went home. Friday morning Mr. Rockwell went to the house again and found that Rogers was quiet. Thinking that he was asleep he went out. About 8.20 Mrs. Rockwell went to carry Rogers his breakfast and she discovered he was dead. Medical Examiner Heyer was summoned and after conducting an examination reported that death was caused by pneumonia. From the rigidity of Rogers' body, it was evi- dent that he had been dead six or eight hours. Rogers is reputed to have been quite wealthy. He went to New Lon- don originally from Lyme and he is known to have owned several houses and held controlling mortgages in sev. eral others. OBITUARY. Captain Joseph M. Burdick.

They doubled the membership, and then some, for the total membership as announced on Friday evening by the secretary of the chamber is 608. As every one of the hundred men on the ten teams will agree, Louis M. Crandall was one of the most cnerget- is workers, for he alone brought in a record far total of 21 applications, ahead of any other individual worker during the campaign.

Joseph 7. Cruttenden, Esq. President Eastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce,. Crescent Beach, Ct. My Dear Sir:—I have been much interested in a letter from the princi- pal of the New London Vocational school, addressed to you and shown to me by the courtesy of Secretary Branche of our local Chamber of Commerce. It relates to the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology and the honor coming to Norwich through the ex- pected presence of its president at the coming banquet. It is a matter of regret to me that 1 shall be unable to be present to pay my respects to him, for I knew well his predecessor of some years back, General Francis A. Walker, while a_later predecessor, President James Croft I knew in earlier years. You, no doubt, know more of the history of the institute than I, but I thought enough of it years ago to send a son there. I believe it to be the next thing of its kind in the western hemisphere, if not in the world. May I add that it would be a spe- cial pleasure to me to meet you at the banquet.

He remained two years as second sergeant and on his election to first sergeant he filled that position three years and then came the promotion to the office of lieutenant in 1886.

From these figures it can readily be understood that the very substant business upligt in manu tricts of western Connecticut 1 burdened the New Haven at points, giving it a large amount short haul traffic and making it more | difficult to operate _through those | points to and from the eastern end of the road, which has’ shown much less expansion in traffic. New Haven and Central New - land managed to provide a volume of transportation represented by 659,000 ton miles in the vear June 30 Iast, against 2,916,863,000 ton miles in the 12 months ended June , 1913, although three were but 1,3 Jocomotives available for service June 30 last, against 1,429 three years be- fore. One of the anomalies since 1915 has Dbeen the continual necessity for em- bargoes, Embargoes as to the New Ha- ven were first established in the latter part: of December, 1915, because more freight cars were being delivered than could be unloaded and released at the various terminals. The embargo situa- tion has not been confined to New England lines, but has affected rail- roading as far west as Chicago, where for a radius of a -hundred miles side- tracks are reported chock-full with eastbound cars awaiting acceptance by seaboard lines.

The hest efforts of the New Lon- don police, special agents’ department of the Central Vermont railroad and the state police have fajled thus far to effect any solution of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of six carloads of lumber consigned to the Scheldenhelm Construction Co. which holds the contract for the erection of warehouses at _the state pier. The police, however, are inclined to doubt the theory that the missing lum- ber, said to total about 70,000 feet was carried away from the state pier by thieves. Instead they, express the opinion that the lumber did not reach its destination. There are said to be many circum- stances surrounding the disappearan of the lumber, which are said to be worthy of Investigation, and which may require an investigation of months before the identity of the al- leged thieves is established No Idea of Re! g.
