DANIELSON Albert P, Perkins, of Washington Per- Funeral of George l. Henry—Giles Woodson Fined—Doctor Sues Doctor Over Automobile. Albert P. Perkins, Washington, D. C., met members of the board of di- rectors of the Danielson _Business Men’s association here Wednesday morning as_a_representative of the Chahmber of Commerce of the United States. At a conference Mr. Perkins ex- plained the advantages of the local organization affiliating with the na- tional body and following his expla- nation a vote favorable to taking that action was passed. Through this affiliation the loca! as- sociation gets in_touch with an organi- zation that includes in its membership nearly 900 like orsanizations through- out the United States. The Daniclson association will be entitled 0 one mem- ber of the council, as is every cther orsanization in the membership, these councillors meeting annually in con- vention to transact business, includ- ing the election of directors. That the Chamber of Commerce of the United States is rapidly becom- ing a factor in protecting the inter- ests of the business men of the Union is dally more manifest. It is an or- ganization that fills a need that has existed, inasmuch as there has not been a national organization to repre- sent the business men, as there has to Tepresent other great groups of cit- izens—industrial workers, manufac- turers, agriculturalists, etc. The result of a lack of a natlonal organization of business men has been unfortunate for them many times in the past, but the United States cham- ber is rapidly coming to the forefront and making itself felt as a force that judiciously protects and safeguards. FUNERAL. George 1. Henry. The funeral of George I. Henry was held from his home at the corner of Main and Stearns streets Wednesday afternoon, with services at the Wast- field Congregational church at 1 o clock. Delegations representing Mc- Gregor post, G. A. R, McGregor's Wo- man’'s Relief corps and Camp Colonel Bdward Anderson, S. of V. were In attendance. The service was conduct- ed by Rev. Ernest A. Legg of the Me- thodist church. The Weldon quartet sang Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. Burial was in Westfield cemetery. The bearers were Herbert Lymai ‘William Keach, George Miller, Bver- ett Colvin, A. E. Méech and Clarence Hill. A. F. Wood was in charge of the funeral arrangements. GILES WOODSON FINED ent Choked Little ltal- ian Boy. Brookiyn Re: Giles Woodson, Brooklyn, was be- fore a justice in that town and fined for an affair in which he was charged with having had a part, in the west- ern part of the town of Brooklyn on Sunday evening. Two Italian children, a boy and a girl, each about 13, were driving home from Danielson, where they had becn to carry relatives, when they were ac- costed by Woodson, it was charged in the complaint, and the bov was choked. Eventually the children man- aged to escape and ran to the house some distance away, where they gave the alarm. Grand Juror Thurber of Brooklyn subsequently ordered a writ issued for Woodson. Given 90 Days in Jail In the town court Wednesdny morning Arthur Favreau of Waure- gan was before Judge W. F. Wood- ward to answer to charges of having been intoxicated and of breach of the Ppeace. On the first count he was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail and was given 60 days on the second count.

Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield. N.J. Bugbee’s Store Again Entered and Goods Taken—Judge 8humway Re- duces Putnam Inn Assessment $10,- 000—Address by John S. Cadweli— Captain Joseph Ryam Describes Po- liceman’s Exacting Let. For the second time within six months, the department store of Byron D. Bugbee, at the corner of Front and Eim streets, was broken into séme- time during Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning and several hun- dred dollars’ worth of merchandise taken. Ralph Bugbee, one of the proprietors sald this morning, that it was almost impossible to tell all that was taken but ladies’ suits, furs, waists, shoes, handkerchiefs, neckties, jewelry and small wares are missing. The burglars gained admission through a cellar window. The window is only 9x13 and how anyone could squeeze through this smail space is a mystery to the police. No clews were left behind and there was no way of ascertaining whether the burglars arrived and departed in an automobile or not as there are too many tracks on the main streets to determine this. A foot print of a man was found in an alleyway in the rear where entrance was gained but no tracks of a boy, which, the police be- lieve, must have crawled through the window. 2 Mr. Bugbee has offered a reward of $100 for the apprehension and convic- tion of the burglars and towns and cities for miles around have been no- tified of the burglary. BUGBEE APPEAL FINDING Judge Shumway Decides Tax Should Be Paid On $29,625 Instead of $39,500. There was no business for Judge Milton A. Shumway at the short cal- endar session of the superior court in Putnam Wednesday morning as the witnesses in the only divorce case on the list did not appear and the case was continued. Judge Shumway rendered a decision in the case of Ellen M. Bugbee’ ap- peal from the board of assessors of the town of Putnam. This case was tried last week. The assessors taxed the socalled Putnam Inn property on an_ assessed three- quarters valuation of $39,500, or a full valuation of $52,000. The court found that early in the year 1914, the property was worth $35,000. During the year improvements were made that enhanced the value $4500 or made the property worth $39,500. Taking three-quarters of this amount, as it was agreed by counsel in the case that the assessment had been made, the court found that the appell- ant should pay a tax on $29,625 instead of the $39,500 as assessed by the as- sessors. John F. Carpenter of Putnam and Willlam T. King of Willimantic rep- resented the appellant, Charles E. Searls represented the town, of Put- nam and Charles L. Torrey, the city of Putnam.

Because the plaintiff in the uncon- tested divorce of Eleanor A. Warren of East Killingly vs. Eugene Warren did not appear in the superior court at Putnam Wednesday morning it was necessary to postpone hearing the matter until February 10. There is to be a special session of the court on February 5. Party for Miss Branche. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Greener, Oak street, Wednesday ev- ening, friends of Miss Clarice Branche gave a birthday party in her honor. Their gift to Miss Branche was a ring.

Representative W. P. Kelley's biil in the legislature providing that a red lantern be displayed at railroad cross- ings, grade, when gates are not in operation at night, is regarded as a good measure here, though apt to worry engine crews alertly watching for danger signals. Wireless Phenomena. While listening with his guest, Thomas S. Inglesby of Greeneville, S. C., over the wireless at the Bullard home Wednesday night, W. I Bul- lard was amazed to hear the sound of a human voice which was also dis- tinctly heard by Mr. Inglesby. The conversation was between persons evi- dently in New York and Philadelphia ang the fact that it was picked up by the Bullard wireless plant was re- garded as astounding as only mes- sages in wireless telegraphy were be- ing listened for. The instruments used at the Bullard station ‘were con- structed by Roy Armstrong, employ- ed at the Jacob Manufacturing Co. here. Mr. Inglesby ‘was greatly inter- ested in the experience. He is the president-treasurer of the Carolina Supply Co. one of the largest in the ithe excharee and expressed a b | that the citizens would vote the nec- Several Hundred Dollars’ Worth of | specia! for the eng af the city ¥ s with the recommen s ‘hope appropriation of $1,500 at the city g, Friday. - Mr. Caldwell also touched on the present water supply and sug- gestions in line with those recently made by the water commissioners to the common council as to better pump- ing facilities, a better and _greater volume of distribution, reservoir S CPialing ‘of the pint .

It was pointed out that mot orly ‘would the changes s by the exchange reduce the present rates, if carried into effect, but that it would greatly enhance the efficiency of fire control and assure better proteation from loss by fire. It is believed that the earnest and intelligent talk given by Mr. Caldwell will have a great deal of welght and that it impressed the audlence with its common sense. Coming as it does in substantiating the recommendations of the water commissioners, the chief of the fire department and the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, that has been instrumental in having the special city meeting for the appropriation called, it confirms the recommendations. of these officials and bodies that the purchase of the new truck would be a great ben- efit to the city. POLICEMAN IN A TRIANGLE. CAPT. RYAN TELLS MEN’S CLUB Expected to Keep Blameless, Surround- ed By Gambling, Prostitution and Pol ics—Eve the First Gambler. Captain of Police, Joseph Ryan, de- livered an address before the Men's club of St. Philip's church Wednesday evening on duties and requiryments of a policeman. The captain, citing certain triangle tragedies, said that the police officer is surrounded by a triangle whose sides are gambling and prostitution erected upon a base of politics and whose apex is selfishness and graft; the po- liceman meanwhile trying to perform the duties of his office, satisfying con- tending influences and hold his job at the same time. Eve the First Gambler. The various standards of morals makes the policeman’s duties complex. He illustrated this by the inborr gam- bling instinct, citing Eve as the first gambler willing to take a chance, eat- ing of the forbidden fruit to find out what God meant by good and evil. He cited the instance of boys beginning their games and playing marbles for “keeps” and later playing cards with the idea that as it was their own money at stake it was no one’s busi- ness what they did with it. Next he cited lotteries with the young man taking a chance to win the prize that he might marry the girl he loved; the mother that she might buy a piano for her beloved daughter, the father, if he won, that he might pay off the mortgage on the home; from this on to the gambling in stocks, looked upon as legitimate bus- iness. 3 Thus the gambling instinct becomes so ingrained that to stop it is be- vond the power of law, human or di- vine. A Terrible Evil Prostitution he referred to as _the most complex and difficult problem that the police have to contend with. “We stand amazed” he said, “at the ramifications of this moral disease that makes men and women forget home, wife, husband, children and reputation. A human’ condition that causes us to lie, steal and even kill in its accomplishment, and that makes the greater percentage of the disease of the land. This side of the triangle has broken more policemen than any other reason and is one of the im- mense burdens upon his shoulders.” He said: “The policeman is sup- posed to represent all elements of a community. Sometimes- he is in the control of reform element and some- times in the control of the anti-re- form element. In either case he is unable to properly perform his duties on account of public opinion. What the Gang Expects. . “The policeman is supposed to_ go straight under all conditions. The gang put him In office: they expect he will not see too much or hear too much; they expect him to enforce the law just enough to fool the public and at the same time let the gang have a free hand. “Competent honesty. is needed in our police departments, coupled with a broad spirit of humanity, a wide ex- perience of all classes of people, a knowledge of the law and wisdom in its enforcement, sound judgment, a cool head and a warm heart. The po- liceman should not be controlled by any element nor should he be afraid of public opinion. He should have the courage and wisdom to keep the crook, the gambler, the politician and re former where they belong. “Politics should be kept out of po- lice departments. Until that time ar- rives, police officials will have to do the best they can under existing con- ditions.

Lee & Osgood Co. e DEFINE DUTIES OF THE HEALTH OFFICIALS Is Recommendation of State Board of Health in Annual Report. One of the recommendations of the State Board of Health in its annual report to the governor is that the du- ties and relationships of various health officials he defined for the de- velopment of an effective and har- monious organization. The report follows It is with keen regret that the board reports the death of one of its mem- bers, Dr. Joseph H. Townsénd, who died Jan. 7, 1916, at his home in New Haven, after a brief ililness with pneu- monia. Dr. Townsend had been a member of this board since 1991, and its secretary since 1908. By his death the state lost a most capable and con- scientious official. Dr. Albert W. Phillips, of Derby, and Dr. Louis J. Pons, of Milford, were appointed by you on May 1, 1915, to serve on the board for six years from July 1, 1915, both being reap- pointments. Dr. John T. Black, of New London was appointed by the board on Jan- uary 18, 1916, as secxetary and ex- officio member, filling the vacancy caused by the death eof Dr. Town- send. Regular quarterly meetings, as re- quired by law, have been held and, in addition, a number of special meet- ings. The frequent necessity for spe- cial meetings to dispose of the in- creased volume of business resulted in the board, at its last annual meeting voting to hold regular monthly meet- ings in the future. Administrative duties of the board have been materially increased by added legislation and an ever-grow- ing public demand for advice and as- sistance. In the endeavor to meet these demands, it has been necessary to move our library of approximately ten thousand volumes to the State Li- brary building, utilizing the space thus acquired for a modern filing sys- tem; and to divide the work of the office into bureaus or divisions. ‘Whether the anticipated change in ad- ministrative methods is accomplished or not, it will be necessary to. pro- vide for considerable increase in this department. ‘While the vital statistics of Connec- ticut have been considered to be among the best, two conditions are now seriously jeopardizing their repu- tation; one is the increase in the num- ber of certificates, which has been at the rate of two thousand a year; the other is the greater demand for spe- cial data and tables. The _clerical force of this bureau has not been in- creased for a number of years and the tabulation of statistics has required more time each year until now, com- plete tabulation 'is not- accomplished under fifteen months. This should be completed within three months. A full Teport of preventable di: eases will be found in the supplemen- tary report of the secretar The most serious and widespread epidemic in years, and one which caused great consternation was the invasion of_in- fantile paralysis during the past sum- mer. The rapid progress of this dis- ease, with its high fatality, resulted in a near-panie. Hundreds of appeals to the state board of health for as- sistance had to_be ignored for lack of authority and funds. Had the board been endowed with power to institute and carry out protective mezasures, the chaotic condition and extraordi- nary expense incurred by the various towns of the state would have been avoided, the confidence of the public would have been retained and health authorities would have been saved hu- miliation. 5 Under the direction of Prof. H. W. Conn, the laboratory, located in Mid- dletown, has rendered excellent ser- vice and one that is appreciated by health officers and physicians alike. The operations have more than dou- bled since our last report, the great- est increase being noted in Wasser- man tests. Some research work has been done, largely in the study of oysters.

When we real- ize that out of sixteen municipal and town sewage treatment plants in th state but three are djsposing of sew- age satisfactorily, immediate action should be forthcoming. The need of authority to conserve and protect the rights of smaller towns to a pure and liberal supply of water, and the in- sistence on the recognition of this right by the larger municipalities and companies, when making provisions for increasing their supplies, is im- perative. More definite control over the schools and public institutions of the state from a sanitary standpoint is desirable, specific powers in trea ing nuisances, such as abbatoirs rer dering and all other industrial plants. which are liable to pollute the air and water of a community, are need- ed, as well as control of suburban land_developments in respect to wa- fer. supply. and. sewage. Eight thousand packages of antitox- in were distributed to the health offi- cers for free use during the past two years. This has saved many lives, prevented many others from contract- ing diphtheria and has saved the citi- zens of this state, on the purchase of antitoxin, approximately $30,000. Vaccine for smallpox prevention has not been called for nor distributed un- til_recently. Just what the demand will be we cannot foretell, but it will undoubtedly increase to the extent of embarrassing our present appropria- tion. While the board has cooperated at times with the dairy and food depart- ment, there are certain problems which should be taken up and as- signed to that department or this board. At present, the control of spring and bottled waters is, by law, delegated to this board, as well as the analysis of milk. The problems which must be met and for which no provision is made at the present time are the inspection of oysters and oys- ter grounds, inspection of meat and meat products, and the regulation of cold storage. The state of Connecticut has out- outgvown its present health system. The rapidly changing social and eco- nomic conditions, coupled with recent discoveries in science and sanitation have placed certain responsibilities upon your board which cannot be met under the present organization. The board must have more than advisory powers. A closer relationship must be established between fhe board and the local health officers and uniformly of regulations is imperative.

There are many good laws on the statute books and there are some which have outlived their usefulnes. ‘While ‘we do not presumes to suggest complete revision, we do believe that legislation to remedy the conditions we have just mentioned is an urgent necessity. In brief, legislation is deemed ad- visable for the following purposes: 1. To give the state board of health authority_to adopt and enforce a san- itary code, and to fix standards of qualification for health officers and to appoint certain division heads and health officers. 3 2. To provide for an epidemiologist and sanitary engineers, and for four deputy state health officers to be as- signed to districts. 3. To permit adjoining towns to consolidate for the purpose of em- ploying a full-time health officer and to_permit the nomination of the health officer by them. 4. To definc the duties and rela- tionships of various health officials for the development of an effective and harmonious organization. In making these recommendations the board board has carefully con- sidered their feasibility and has rec- ommended only such measures as have been demonstrated elsewhere to be practical and efficient. It is_obvious' that the appropriation must be materially increased if the above plan of reorganization is adopt- ed. At the same time we do not feel that the cost will be exorbitant or unusual. The present appropriation is equi- valent to a tax of 2 cents per capita. It iz estimated that the new system will add to this 2 1-2 cents per capi” ta, makine a total of 4 1-2 cents per capita per annum for state board of health work. This is 1 cent per capl- ta less than the average expenditure for the same purpose made by all New England states outside of Con- necticut. “HONEY BOY” LETTER WRITTEN BY RAE TANZER Figured in Trial of Franklin D.
