JAIL~BORN BABIES.
Sheriff Smith Has Another One He Doesn't Want.

Sheriff Smith Has Another One He Doesn't Want.
 Hartford, Nov 7.-The disposition of the baby born while Eva Cook, who is now in state prison. was an inmate of the jail Is bit uncertain, and now Sheriff Smith has another baby with its mother, Mary Thompson, at the jail that he is desirous of having taken away He has consulted counsel with this object in view.
 The Cook baby was born at the Hart ford hospital while it's mother was a jail prisoner, and when she was taken to state prison under sentence imposed in the superior court, Sheriff Smith took the baby there with her, and it was accepted by Warden Garvin. In a recent decision regarding the support of the child, Attorney General King directed that Sheriff Smith take the baby from the prison and deliver it to the selectmen of Enfield, where it is claimed the child is chargeable The selectmen of Enfield said they would refuse to accept 1t and Sheriff Smith. after consulting counsel, decided that he would not take the child from the warden. It is yet at the prison.
 ~AaIy WuO was Ou [, 1903, bound over to the superior court to answer to the charge of arson, committed in Windsor on June 2, was sentenced to jail for ten months and to pay fine and costs of $56.66 Her time will not be up until June 8 of next year. On May 2S more than two months after the woman was received at the jail she was taken to Windsor and was there married to Ernest Key holds of Enfield. On June 19 the we- man gave birth to a baby at the Hart ford hospital and the baby is now in jail with its mother. There are no fa- cilities at the jail for keeping baby If it cries in the nighttime it disturbs all of the women prisoners. As the father of. the child belonged fn Enfield the claim is made that that town is liable for its support and steps are to be taken to have Enfield take the child and care for it. Enfield dislikes the prospect of providing for the support of the two babies, Both are colored.

EAST HAVEN SCHOOL BOOKS.
Health Officer Holbrook Ordered Them
 Thrown O,1f as na nanoe,ol1s

Health Officer Holbrook Ordered Them
 Thrown Out as Dangerous.
 New Haven. Nov 7.-County Health Officer Carlton E. Hoadley has vaca- ted the order of the East Haven health officer regarding the destruction of the books in the Union school. The order was given by the East Haven health officer, Dr. Holbrook, about three weeks ago, and the East Haven board of education appealed to the county health officer.
 k. Mir Hoadley held a hearing on the matter Saturday afternoon, but did . not file his decision until this week. At the hearing, both Dr HolIbrook and the East Haven board of education were present. The books which were ordered destroyed were introduced as evidence. Dr Holbrook stated that when the exam ination of the schools was made pre- vious to the opening of the school year. the books were found to be in filthy condition, and he considered them a menace to the health of the children. He therefore ordered them destroyed.
 In appealing from the order of pr. HoIbrook. the school board brought up three points. as follows: The health officer had no right to condemn the books unless it could be shown that there was contagious disease among the pupils who used the books and that Immigration would not destroy the dis ease germs: that the books were not unclean or dangerous to the health of the children: that the health officer has not the power to order the destruc- tion of the books, but he might order them fumigated, rebound or repaired. If they are found dangerous to the pub lie health.
 The case was an important one, as such an appeal had never before been made. The decision of Mir. Hoadley therefore establishes precedent and shows where the limitations of the health officers shall be drawn.
