HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug O.-DlSciosures
that will create sensation throughout New
England were brought forth when Select
man Fowler made report to the board oil
selectmen of this town Of his investigation
into certain baby farms alleged to exist III
Hartford and vicinity. He has found hve
baby farms in existence in Hartford, West
Hartford and Bloomfield, which have chill
dren from other towns and outside the
state, placed there by Mrs. Virginia L.
Smith, the missionary Of the city mission, a
charitable organization in this CITY,. ,s4
At one farm in the city twenty-three chill
dren have been sent by Mrs. Smith up to
June. Aflidavits were presented by the
women running the "farms," claiming to be
ignorant OF the law and throwing the re-
sponsibility upon the city missionary for not
reporting the cases as required by law. No
record oases has been kept. They are
mostly Legitimate children. Mrs. Smith
has 81 per week each child for their board,
aud her son, Dr. o. G. Smith, city phys
clan, attended them when i'll Facts are
have been adopted by persons paving from
SI3 10 $40 each to Mrs. Smith. The report
goes to show that the farms" have been
run in the interest OF Mira. Smith,
who has received young girls from
various parts of the state and has placed
them there during confinement and has re-
ceived pay from them or their betrayers and
placed the babies all under the promise of
the strictest secrecy. The practice has pre-
vailed about eight years aud probably 300 to
400 babies have been received at these farms
by Mrs. Smith.
Mr. Fowler's reports, which are very spec
ific, cover nearly thirty typewritten pages
and state among other things the attempts
of members of Mrs Smiths family to induce
a reporter of city paper to suppress certain
facts he had unearthed. The selectmen
unanimously accepted the report and author
lied the publication of 500 copies. The affair
creates great sensation in Hartfoed. The
entire business has BEEN conducted in viola
tion of the state laws, which requires the
fullest pu blicity in cases where young chill
dren are boarded out.

denote that the gavel was about
to fell, adjourning the two houses
until December next Nearly all the
senators and representatives in the city were
at their seats when the clock pointed to the
hour set for adjournment and on the floors
of both houses and around the corridors and

ment incident to the preparation OF bills
which passed during the evening for the
presdent's signature before the session Of
congress adjourned.
Shortly after o'clock occurred the one
interesting feature of tue evening, President
Harrison's arrival AT the capitol. He went
directly to tho presidents room, where he
was engaged for some minutes in chatting
with senators and Vice, President Morton,
who dropped in to. pay their respects.
