 Much speculation is being indulged i'll regarding the contents of the re- port which MT Cairns is to submit to the aldermen tonight regarding the water sheds at Prospect. It is gen. erally believed that considerable water can be had out there at small cost, but whether it is so or not is something nobody appears 10 know for a certainty If it be true the city should go there first and take up the Branch project later. and on the other hand, if 1t Is not so. what has been proposed should not be delayed any longer.

DEATH A MYSTERY.
Wife of a We'll Known Ball Player Found Dead

Boston, Nov 16.-While the Bos- ton police were not inclined to-day to hold any person responsible for the death late last night in a South Bos- ton doorway, of Mrs Julia, Harmon Stahl, widow of Chick" Stahl, the baseball player, there were still sev- cal mysterious circumstances to be cleared up. The most important of these was the absence of a consider able amount of jewelry. In seeking to account for this fact and for the reason for Mrs Stah's presence in the rather poor neighborhood in which her body was found, the police sought a man who was seen to cross An drews square, South Boston, with Mrs Stahl, just before she entered the hall in which she died This man Is believed ohave helped he'd into the doorway, but was not seen to leave the house. #
 The police waited for the result of the medical examiners examination which was set for this forenoon be- fore attempting to make any arrest in the case.
 Up to the time that relatives of Mrs Stahl noticed the absence of jew elry early to-day, the police had be- lieved the case to be one of heart dis ease, but with the advent of robbery as possible motive, the case appear ed to be one of murder. According to Mrs Stahl's father, John Harmon, the jewelry worn by her when she left home was valued at more than s2,- 900.

3 DEATHS LAST WEEK

New Haven, Nov 16.-The follow. ing statements were made by the head of the New Haven police de- partment, the coroner of New Haven county, himself an automobilist, and one of the organizers of the New Ha- ven Automobile club, anent the re- cent automobile accidents:
 Superintendent Cowles of the New Haven police was the first man seen. He said in part: Many citizens have come in here to-day to consult with me upon this matter I believe that the only way to help to check this evil is to restrain automobiles from running at speed within city limits greater than eight miles an hour. The present speed limit for autos in this city is twenty-five miles per hour, providing the road is clear, under the state laws passed at the last session fthe legislature, a law which I understand cities cannot in- terfere with so long as we do not prove case of reckless driving. We cannot, as l understand it, make an ordinance here in New Haven to in- terfere with the state law. If this is so, there ought to be some modifica- tion of this condition.
 T believe that the speed limit in New Haven is altogether too high"
 When approached upon this topic Coroner Mix said last night: T have no hesitation in saying that there should be an ordinance in this city restraining the speed of automo- piles to as low as eight miles an hour. The state law should have no bearing upon city conditions"
 W. T. Dill, who was one of the or ganizers of the New Haven Auto club, said: T should soy, off hand, that rate of speed of ten miles an hour through this city would be ad. viSable for New Haven"

KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE
Rev Dr George Brinlev Morgan the
 Victim.

New Haven, Nov 16.-Rev Dr George Brinley Morgan, rector of Christ Episcopal church, New Haven, and one of the most widely known Episcopal clergymen in the state, died at 11:45 o'clock yesterday morn ing at Dr Leonard w. Bacon's sani- tarium on York street, this, city, as the result of being run into by an automobile Saturday afternoon in front of his church. Dr, Morgan had just left his church and was crossing the street when the machine which was driven by Sam Campbell struck him. He was thrown high into the air and rendered unconscious and he remained so until he died.
 Dr Morgan was taken almost im- mediately to Dr Bacon's sanitarium, BIO York street, which is, but few doors from where he lives, at SPA. Mrs Morgan was in New York at hospital where she had had slight operation performed She reached the city late Saturday night. Two daughters of Dr Morgan we're on the street and were attracted by the large crowd that had gathered at the scene of the accident. Inquiring the cause they learned that it was their father who had been injured and they reached the sanitarium shortly after Dr Morgan was carried there. His skull was found to have been frac- tured and though Dr Oliver P. Os- borne, Dr Leonard Woolsey Bacon, Dr R. Austin Cheney and Dr William H. Carmalt, who were in attendance, did everything in their power, it was evident that there was little hope and he died at 11:45 o'clock.

OUTSIDE SCHOOLS
Board of Educailon Nay Take Over These Districts al To.
 nights Meeting.

It is very likely that the board of education will this evening take the initial step towards eliminating the suburban school districts. For some time the board has felt that some viz orous action is needed to make tho outside school districts more useful than they have been for some years. Each school district appears to be little kingdom in itself with the dis trict committee as absolute rulers. Frequently the school routine is com- pletely set upside down by the actions of the committee, and, while the board is practically responsible for the proper maintenance of the dis tricts, it is allowed very little to say in their management. For example. the board must pay $400 toward the salary of every teacher in the outside districts, but only the district con- mittee has the power or authority to appoint the teachers.
 Until very recently but few of the outside districts were up to date in sanitary respects. In one district last June the committee discharged three or four of the half dozen teachers, and those who remained resigned in the end, fearful of losing their posi- tions before the summer was over, for they got the idea that they were retained when the others were dis missed because the committee could not get teachers to fill their places. All of this tends to keep the districts in condition that is ont for the ben eft of the schools and it is very lil1t- fly, judging from what has been ru- mored to-day, that the board of edu- cation, if not at it's meeting this even- ing, will at some early date take the first step toward having the city charter amended so that all of the suburban school districts may be brought under the full Jurisdiction of the board, and thus put an end to all this carping and quibbling that seems to be forever going on in them.

BRooKER NOT A CANDIDATE
Authorized Statement That He is not
 in Senatorial Contest.

Ever since 1t became evident that there was serious opposition to tho return of Mir Brandegee to the sen- ate, there has been talk of the pos sibility of Mir Brooker going into the canvass. His influential position on the national republican committee where he is one of the executive committee. his wide personal popu- larity and his high character and standing in business and social cir cles led the public naturally to think of him as man who would admir- ably represent the state at the na- tional capital.
 Mir Brooker himself has said very little on the subject, and when he has spoken at all it has been in a noncommittal way, which gave his friends little encouragement. It Is they who have done the talking. When the complimentary dinner was given to him at the Hartford Club after the return from the Chicago convention. the senatorship had got into the newspapers, and, before ac- cepting the invitation to that ex- ceedingly agreeable occasion, he se- cured promises that it should no. be allowed to come up at the gather ing-and it was not mentioned. , MT Brooker has, however, now broken his silence, and yesterday he said that he was not in the sen- atorial race ,and would not be, and had no: be ,n at any time.

OCTOBER DEATH RATE
Infectious Diseases Took Of More People Than In Inc
 Preyious Month.

Hartford, Nov 16.-According to the monthly bulletin of the state board of health, issued to-day, the deaths during October reported from infectious diseases were lS1, being 15 per cent of the total mortality. For the large towns the death rate was 13.8, for the small towns 14.5 and for the whole state 13.9 The to- tai number of adthes was 1,026 dur ing the month. This was 36 less than in September and 128 less than in October of last year, and g less than the average number of deaths during October for the five years preceding.
 Secretary Townsend calls the at- tention of the physicians to the bacs astrological laboratory of the state board of health where free examina- tions are made for the purpose of aiding in the diagnosis of certain in- fectious diseases, adding:
 "The sooner diagnosis is made in such cases, the quicker can measures be put in operation to prevent the further spread of the disease, as we'll as for the cure of patient; so that a more general use should be made of the laboratory as an aid in diagnosis.
 "The only certain method of deter mining when a child has recovered from diphtheria, so as not to infect others, is by bacteriological exami- nation of the secretions of the throat"
 Attention is also called to the ex- hibit from the international congress which will be set up in New York at the American Museum of Natural History, Seventy-seventh street and Central park west, on November 20, where it will probably continue for six weeks. It wlli be opened week days from 10 in the morning until 10:30 at night and on Sunday after moons

Washington, Nov 16.--The peti- tion of Albert T. Patrick, who is serv- ing life sentence at Sing Sing on the charge of having murdered Will liam M. Rice, for writ of habeas corpus. was decided by the supreme court of the United States to-day ad- versely to the petitioner. Patrick charged that the case against him was conspiracy and argues that in committing the sentence of death, which the court imposed upon him, to one of life Imprisonment, Governor Higgins had resorted to more cruel method of punishment. He asked to be released from prison on the the ory that the whole proceedings had been unconstitutional.

AN INGENIOUS sWINDLER.
The Daring Scheme That Was Worked
 by . German Doctor.

Near small village in one of the lake states lived western millionaire in seclusion with his little daughter and few servants. The child was af. iicted with a rare cerebro spinal com plaint, a most unpleasant manifesto. tion of which was a frequent hic. cough, and eminent physicians, both in America and Europe, had pronounc. ed the case organic and incurable.
 Later there came to live in the vil- lage widow with little girl affected similar to the millionaire's daughter. This child was delicate, flower faced creature, wistful from the isolation that must have been her sad lot. and the peculiar bark-like hiccough which she made at once attracted tho mil lionaire's attention. and. being a big hearted if rather ignorant man, he gave the mother employment about his home and showered the afflicted child with presents. ..
 Perhaps four months after the wid- ow's advent an eccentric German doc tor settled in the village, and, his serv- ices being sought by the widow. he gave her child treatment. with the re- suit that it was completely cured.
 The millionaire immediately sought to place his own daughter under the Germans care, but the latter fatly re- fused to take the case; He was . Socialist of violent type and would have nothing to do with a man whose wealth exceeded the sum that he had fixed upon as the lawful limit of ma terial possession.
 Finally, however. after the father had patiently borne the grossest in suits the German agreed to give the addicted child. trea tn1ent on condition that the other would first deed over a large tract of land in Texas for. a So- ciaiist colony and pay him for his fee | sum little short of 5o,0o0 This the millionaire did. but as soon as the doc tor had cashed the check he disappear ed with the widow and her child. and the wealthy man realized that, blinded by paternal love, he had been made the victim of an ingenious swindle.
 The flower faced girl of the widow had been taught to simulate disease. and the German was no doubt her father. He was subsequently located in Buenos Aires, but he injured man, not wishing his daughters afiiction published broadcast, dropped the pros ecution.-D Don Mark Lemon in Bohe- milan Magazine
