OLD CASE ONCE MORE
Brennan-Iron Bridge Co Suit to Be
 Argued Next Tuesday.

The great case of William Brennan of Naugatuck against the Berlin Irion Bridge Co will be argued before the United States supreme court in Wash ington next Tuesday. This, it is ex- pected, will be the final step in this eventful case.
 About ten years ago Brennan was employed at the Naugatuck Malleable Iron foundry and the Berlin Bridge Go was putting up a trestle for that con- cern. One morning the foreman found himself short of help and Brennan with others was put on the job, being taken from the usual employment in the factory for the time being. Bren- nan has not worked since that morn ing, for large beam fell on his right leg, crushing it.
 The first question before the court was, by whom was Brennan employ ed when the accident occurred, the Bridge company or the Malleable Iron Go? Judges and courts differed on this point for a long time. When it was at last settled they differed In their decis- ions, and so the case went from one court to another and made five trips to the supreme court of the state, until finally it was determined to award Brennan $3,0OO damages. The Bridge company refused to pay then, for by the time the final judgment was given it was absorbed by the bridge trust. It is now looked upon as the most famous case ever heard in this state.
 And peculiar feature about 1t is this: Long ago Brennan's counsel would have thrown up the sponge, but Brennan claimed to have seen his dead sister in dream Or vision and that HoII 1lS1 A11 1t1 cS1V4l 4 the last, for he would eventually win And the lawyers continued winning after that, though they paid no, heed to the story of his vision. The costs now amount to $15O. Brennans attorneys are Kennedy and O'Neill.

 There will be many new and ofa styles of dress introduced at to-night's dance For weeks the boys and girls have been arranging their costumes for this dance and have secured some unique and amusing dresses. This will be a feature of the dance.

TEN MURDERS.
Man Sentenced to Be Shot Makes a Confession
 Before Dying.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 22.-Frank P. Rose, sentenced to be shot to-day for the murder of his wife last Christmas day, has confessed to other murders, said to number no less than ten. Rose declared ne had spent the last four teen years committing successive crimes, varying from robbery to mur- der. Robbery was his first crime, ac- cording to his story. From that he launched into murders of every de- scription, and related instances where he had killed men for little money.
 In St Louis, according to Roses con- fession, he was guilty of a number of crimes, including murder.
 There is some doubt at the peniten- tfary about the truth of Roses confes- sion, but he has furnished names and dates and other details to such de- gree that his story has gained general credence with the prison officials. Roses crime was peculiarly atrocious and cold-blooded in that it almost re- suited in the death of his 2-year-old son from starvation and cold. Rose, who claimed his wife was consorting with other men, shot her on Christmas day while she was lying in bed. He sat and talked with her until she died of the wound and then he went away, AOoFAh5 A1o OOJ HI OOO UAlA AA9 OSStN- mother and soaked in her blood. Rose said he returned four times in the next two days to feed the child, climbing through a window and over the dead body Of his wife in order to get into the house. At the end of that time he went to police headquarters and gave himself up, stating that he had shot 1 his wife
 Rose never expressed any sorry for his deed and asserted a firm belief that l it all was predestined.

CHITTENDEN ON FOOD.
Yale Professor Read Paper at Wash
 ington Last Night.

Washington, April 22.-Professor Russell H. Chittenden, director of the Sheffield scientific school, is in Wash ington for a few days stay. Last night he read a paper before the Academy of Sciences of the National museum, giving a description of the recent food experiments at Yale. Professor Chittenden described his ex- perinents with the soldier squad in detail, and the result of the experi- ments, according to Professor Chitten- den, was the information that the av- craze healthy man eats from two to three times as much as he needs to keep him in perfect physical and men tai health.
 Professor Chfttenden said that three classes of men were exper1mented upon, several professors of the school. including himself, several stu dents and a squad of United States soldiers. There was gradual reduc: ton of meat and other proteid foods, with little if any increase ill starch and other foods in nearly all the tests. No fixed regimen was required in any case, the endeayor being to satisfy the appetite of each individual. In only one case was meat entirely eliminated from the diet.
 
 which lasted from six months to near ly a year, and were concluded only a few days ago, the entire lot of men who had been Professor Chittenden's subjects were In the best or health. Their weight was in some eases al- most exactly the same as when the ex. perimelts were begun and ill others slightly lower. Their bodily yigor was greater and their strength was much greater, partially owing 10 their regular physical exercises during the experiments and partially owing to ! the less amount of food eaten, Profes- sor Chittenden believes. The daily consumption of food at the close of the experiments was much less than the recognized standard, and from third to a half as much as the average man | eats.
 Professor Chittenden has been in consultation with the officials of the ] department of agriculture, and the department will soon issue a bulletin giving the details and results of the food experiments conducted at Yale.
