Hartford, July 1— The state board of heaith as at pres- ent constituted went out of existence Saturday night, after having served its age and generation for a period of 33 vears. 1t will be succeeded by a health commissioner and a council of health. To a certain extent the council wiki be advisory In its functions. The com- missioner will have power to act on his own initiative. The committee on public health and safety in reporting the bill for the reorganization of %he board made it clear that one of its purposes was to secure greater. effi- ency by placing responsibility on_an individual official rather than by dis- tributing it over the membership of a board. It was at the session of 1878 that the general assembly passed the act cre- ating the state board of heaith. It was predicated on a report made to the general assembly by a commission con- sisting of Henry Bronson, Francis A. Walker, Dr. Charles A. Lindsley, Prof. William H. Brewer of New Haven, Dr. Charles J. Hoadley, the state libratian, Dr. W. A. M. Walnwright of Hartford and Samuel C. Fessenden of Stamford. The commiitee made its report at the May session of 1876, but it was not until three years later that the general assembly took action to put its recom- mendations into fegislative effect. The report recommended the establishment of a state board of health and that it be given charge of the work of com- piling vital statistics. Up to that time the state librarian had charse of the vital statistics. It was in 1854 that the state first undertook the work, in ystematic way, of collecting vit Zietics, and for a little over 20 it was in charge of the state arian. The report concludes with a paragraph | which states that the financial loss to | The state from preventabre diseases was | “among the miliions™” every year. B The first board of health, under the low of 1878, which created it, was ap- pointed by Gov. Richard D, on March 1878, It consi. membership of six and the statute pro- Videq that there should be three phy- Sicians and one Jawyer. The first mem- 1 years bers were Dr. J. S. Butler of Hartf and A. C. Lippitt of New London, two vears each: Alfred E. Bu Hartford and Dr. D. Hubbard of Bridzeport, for four vears each: Dr. “harles A. Lindsley and Prof. William M. Brewer of Yale college, six years each. The first mecting of the hoard was held in the oid United States hotel Hartford on April 9, 1878. Dr. But- ier was chosen permanent president. The etatute prescribed a salary of 31,000 and expenses for the secretar: It was the only salaried position con- nected with the board. Dr. Lindsley was chosen temporary secretary for the meeting. Dr. C. W. Chamberlain of | Hartford was elected permanent sec- | retary. On the of Tr. Chamber- n six years later Dr. Lindsley was lected to succeed him a secretary. The statute the secretary should be a phy Dr. Lindsley died in 1905. He was a member of the board for years and | its secretary for 21. During his in- cumbency of the office of s Dr. TLindsiey was not provided with an of- fice nor was the board with a pace in which to hold its quarterly meetings. The office of the state board of heatth was in the residence of the secretary in New Haven. That arrangement | continued from the creation of the | board until the appointment of Dr. Joseph H. Townsend of New Haven to the secretaryship as the successor of Dr. Lindsley in 1906. A suite of rooms was then provided for the board and its_secretary in the capitol and the work of the state board of health took | on a more departmental appearance Dr. Townsend died Jan. 7, 1916, and Dr. John T. Black. who had been health | officer of New London, with a record | for efficiency, was appointed his sue- cessor. Dr. Black as eecretary re- | celved a salary of $3,000 a vear. His salary as commissioner of health, to which he was appointed for six vears by_Governor Holcomb, wifl be $4,000. The reorganized board has powers under the statutes which were mnot vected in the old board of health. Tn the past the work of the state health authorities has been Impeded by the | local rezulations of towns. This h- heen particularly noticeable in the epi- demic of smallpox THREE PATROLMEN SHOT IN EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL. Fired Upon by a Crowd of Negroes While Answering a Riot Call.

Riotous Scencsin Socialist Parade WAS IN THE NATURE OF PEACE DEMONSTRATION AT BOSTON BANNERS TRAMPLED ON The Ranks of the Broken Up by Self-Organized Squads of Uniformed Soldiers and Sailors— Many Arrests Were Made. Marchers Were Boston, July 1.—Riotous scenes at- tended a’ soclalist parade today was announced as a peac tion. The ranks of the marche: broken up by self-organized sq uniformed soldiers and sailo flags and banners bearing s mottoes were trampled on, and litera- ture and furnishines in_the socialist headquarters in Park Square wer: thrown into the street and burned Police reserves stopped the rioting after it had been in prozress an hou and a half. Many arrests were le. Hundreds of Fist Fights. The police took into custody of the participants in hundreds of fist fizhts which were waged on the Common and in the lin- of parade on Tremont street while agents of the federal justice under the direction of A nt District At- torney Goldberg arrested in the a number of persons who were all to have made unpatriotic remarks the heat of conflict. Ncne.of the diers and sailors who fizured disturbance were arrested. Marchers Carried Peace Flags. The procession, which consisted of some department sist crowe eced n hundreds of men and women, many of whom carried babies, formed in Park Square and passing _throuzh Tliot street, marched along Tremont strect ne division zoing to the baseball erounds on the Common where a meeting had been arranzed, and an- cther proceedinz Sauare. Most of the marchers carried small red flags white emblem- atic of the peace demonstration. and there were large banners bearing in- scriptions, some of which read “Russia has a six hour day, why not Ameri- ca?” and “Liberty ioan a first mort- zage of labor.” A large American fi was at the head o the procession Resulted in Street Fight. Half a hundred men in the uniform of naval reservists, national guards- men, marines and Canadian 7 who had watched the formation of the parade marched across the Common in a double column and intercepted the procession at the corner of Wes: and Tremont strects and again at the cor- ner of Winter and Tremont streets. In both instances the vontact resulted in a street fight. Blows were exchanged and flass were snatched from the hands of the marcher women the line screamed in Cheers for American Flag. At Scoilay Square there was a s lar sceme. “The American flag at th¢ head of the line was seized by the attacking party and the band, which had been playing The Marseillaise with some interrupticns, was forced to pia The Star Spangled F while cheers were given for the Police Reserves Called Out.

It was announced that the organization represented 10,000 work- ingmen and that its programme would include the peace terms of the R: sian workmen, no forcible annexa- tions, no punitive indemnities and free development of all nations.

TRIPLE DROWNING NEAR THOMPSONVILLE, CONN. Membess of a Party of Twelve Moonlight Bathing Party. in Thompsonville, Conn., July 1.—Sha- ker Pond, four miles from this place, was the scene of a_triple _drowning early this evening. The drowned were members of a party of twelve which left here in automobiles for a small grove on the edge of the pond where arrangements had been made for a moonlight bathing party. They are: Catherine Twarog, 25; Martin Gwoziz, 28, of Thompsonkille, and Stanislau Szubinski, about 25, of Springfield. Szubinski lost his life In an attempt to save Miss Twarog, who with Gwo- 2dz had waded beyond her depth. Ap- parently unaware that the bed of the pond drops abruptly about 25 feet from shore, the two latter waded out with- out hesltation. Szubinski, a novice swimmer, answered their cries for help, became exhausted in the attempt to save the young woman and sank with her. The bodies were recovered shortly afterward. Efforts were made to resuscitate the victims by use of pulmotors which were rushed to the scene from Sprinz- field. ~ Ail three were beyond aid, how- ever, when they were brought from the water. mi- | gres fimericansFired on Two Submarines DURING VOYAGE FROM UNITED STATES TO ENGLAND 1 PERISCOPE SHATTERED A Third Submai Great Distance, e Was Sighted at a But It Submarged Imemdiatsly—Passengers Praised the Gunners for Marksmanship. London, July 1.—The gun crew of an American liner fired upon two Ger- man submarines during her voyage om the United States to Engiand. Both targets were at a considerable range, but the report to Washington of the commanding officer will ex- press belief that one periscope was shattered. A third submarine was sighted but at a great distance, and it submerg- ed_immediately.

Washington, July 1—Official Wash- ington awoke today to the possibilities of trouble in Secretary Bake 1di- ation of the coal price hxing ment secured by Sceretary the coal production committes Council of National Defense by whict operators east of the Hiessippi River agreed o cut their mine pr from$1 to $5 per ton So far there is no indication that the situation has become acute or that there will be a split in the cabinet the president has kept around him with few changes for four vears and a half, but Mr. Bakers public criticism of his colleague’s course and his admonition to the coal com- mittee that it had exceeded its powers, is regarded as certain to be discussed at length when the president meets his official family Tuesday. In the opinion of many officials the Qquestion may involve the entire make- up of the Council of Natfonal ~De- fense and its subordinate civilian com- mittees of business men 4nd echoes may be heard in legislation from con- Some believe that general price fixing by government under law is not an_impossibility as a result. The situation has brought to the front azain reports of wide differenc- es among cabinct members and other government officials as to a war purchasing policy One element, said to include most of the mecmbership of the defense council's committees, is for a purchas- ing_policy that will allow liberal profits to producers to stimulate pro- duction. These officials declare the government will obtain far better ser- vice if the government does not try to drive its bargains too hara. Other officials believe the govern- ment should bring every pressure to bear to obtain the lowest possible prices and some, it is said, are ,for commandeering supplies. No government agency now has the power to fix prices either for the gov- ernment or for the general public. If the government goes into the market for larze purchases at low prices, it is pointed out, the private consumer will be forced to pay even hizher prices than he now pavs be- cause producers under no sort of re- straint will raise their prices to him to make up for their loss in selling to he government. Some members of he commission are legislation to meet this difficulty. Saving of $200,000,000 to Public. In making the arransement with the coal men the interior department pointed out that it would mean if i stood for a year a saving of near £200,000,000 to the consuming indus tries and the public. The situation now existing probably vill serve to hasten the movement 1o arrange the committee system of the defense council, which contem- plates establishment of 2 purchasinz office for government supplies. One thing that has delayed this reorgani- zation. it is understood, is the differ- ence of opinion as to how far the zov- ernment should go in its efforts to dQuce prices to consumers generally Those in authority who have not ap- proved the action of Secretars are understood to feel that the only way such a price-fixing plan can b made work equitably for the zoverr ment is first to have the cost of pro- duction ascertained by some capable sovernment agency, probably the fed- eral trade commission, and base prices on these costs. They realize that such investigations into the costs of fuel, ofl, iron ore, cement and many other raw materials which the ernment needs for war purposes. president to exercise such power as the war and navy departments have to commandeer commodities and let investigation disclose what war profits the producing industries are getting the belief that prices to the public will then adjust themselves whether there has been legislation or not New Record for Coal Production. An_interior department statement tonight announced that a new record for coal production was set for the first six months of this vear, fully 270,000,000 tons of bituminous coad being produced since January 1, thus exceeding the output of the first six months of last year by about twenty million tons. “Even better news.” the statement adds, “is that the limit has not yet been reached, for, as the rail- roads are able to work out to better advantage the problem of car supply and give to the mines greater facill- ties for transporting their production to market, the supply of coal that reaches the consumer will be In steadily increasing quantities.” Demands for wage increases made on behalf of the 35,000 bar iron work- ers in middle western plants were de- nied by the Western Bar Iron Asso- ciation at the close of a week's con- ference:at Atlantic City - est admiration for the marksmanship of the American gunners as shown | both in practice and against the ene- my.
