WEST HAVEN NOTES.

Wallace w. Wards Condition Very
Crftical-Fears That He Will Not
Recoverable New Town Hall.
A deep feeling of sadness was prevalent
in West Haven and in this community last
evening over the news which spread rapid
ly, that the condition of Mr.. Wallace w.
Ward, the esteemed and popular superin-
tendent of the West Haven Electric rail-
way, and known for 30 many years as a
leading man in West Haven, was very ortiz
cal. Lsst evening DR.. Whittemore, the at
tendant physician in the case, said that
Mr.. Ward was very low and the chances
for recovery very doubtful. Mr.. Ward
was, he said suffering from very danger
GUS attack of apoplexy of the oongestive
form. Mr.. Ward was, as stated in our yes
terday's issue, taken Ill at the chamber of
commerce banquet and removed to one of
the ante rooms. Drs. Whittemore and Linds-
ley, who were present, were Immediately
summoned to the case and after applying
restoratives Mr.. Ward recovered conscious
ness, and was then removed to his home
in West Haven. Mr.. Wards health has
not been for several years up to it's former
high standard. A few years ago he suf-
fered for two or three months with a
severe attack Of elephantiasis, and more
recently he suffered from illness oonse-
quent upon overwork. For many years
Mr.. Ward has been an indefatigable
worker, carrying heavy business strain
and attending to his individual important
financial enterprises, in addition to his
charge of running the railroad with which
his name has been 80 long identified. With
advancing years Mr.. Ward has felt the
strain, and had been intending to
lessen his various business burdens
which when in vigorous health he bore
with ease. Inquiries were very numerous
about town and in West Haven yesterday
as to Mr.. Wards condition, he having SO
long occupied responsible and prominent
business position in our community.

CONNECTICUT FACTORIES.
Extracts From the Annual Report OF
InspectOr Simmons.

Extracts From the Annual Report of
Inspector Simmons.
The annual report of Factory Inspector
William S. Simmons has been submitted
to the governor. Mr.. Simmons says the
state has had factory inspection for little
over five years. All the work performed
during this time has been under the same
law. Then approach of cholera during
the summer months caused increased in
terest in sanitary matters. AS result
most all places visited were hearty in their
cooperation in the work of of inspection.
Still there are places which cannot be
reached except through the active CO. oper-
alton of local boards of health. The work
during the past year has been more thor
ough than ever. The number of factories
visited and inspected was 414. The whole
number of persons employed in these fac
tories was 81 1896. No changes were Or
dered in 221 of the establishments which
were inspected. ALI of them were in good
condition. In 1913 factories it was found
that there were many changes needed.
The whole number of orders given was
1872 OF these $50 were for better pro-
lection from dangerous machinery, ~
were for improving the sanitary condi-
ton, 81 for securing safety in the use of
elevators, and Al for miscellaneous pur-
poses.
During the year more than twenty per-
sons were killed in factories of this state.
A good many persons received injuries,
but the returns are not given. Several of
the accidents were caused by projecting
set-screws, whose presence upon shafting
should never be permitted unless they
are securely guarded. Other bad acct
dents were caused by the bursting Of en-
cry wheels.
Ordinances may be enacted by city gov
ernmsnts to prevent the erection of unsafe
buildings. Provisions may be made for
the appointment of inspectors to carry
these rules and ordinances into effect.
Local officials who have had authority to
act have failed. It is hoped by the inspeo-
tor that these ordinances may be enforced.
Poor ventilation in many places is
question that needs attention. The num-
Der of elevators inspected during the year
was 1852. Many of these have single cables,
and all such need to be managed with
much care. Accidents often occur upon
this kind of elevators.

FOUND ON STATE STREET.

Joseph Bird of Branford, Who Disap-
peared Monday, Found Yesterday
Suffering Under Temporary Aberra-
ton of the Mind.
Joseph Bird, son of E. J. Bird of Bran
ford, aged eighteen. who disappeared last
Monday from his home, was found yester-
day on State street by Detective Cowles, in
a slightly demented condition. He remem-
bers leaving Branford and getting off the
train at New Haven. He remembered
nothing further of his doiDgs until
appears to have been a blank for that
time. He bought travelling bag, a pair
of pants and hat which was too large for
him. He did not remember where or when
he bought them or how much he paid for
them. He remembers Wednesday after
noon finding himself on State street, in
this city. He bought two bottles of hair
dye and dyed his hair all over in streaks.
He don't remember where he bought it or
how much he paid for it. Yesterday John
Andrus of Branford identified him on
State street and handed him over to De-
tective Cowles.
The boy has been sick all summer and
was in rather run down condition, to
which the family physician attributes his
temporary alteration of mind. He has al
ways been young man of excellent hab-
it's, and his friends hope and desire to see
him perfectly we'll again soon. His mind
does not even yet seem to have regained
its vigor and some apprehension is enter
tanned as to what the result will be. He
was taken home Yesterday afternoon,
