TAG DAY COMING
Everyone VIII geIp lo Sisp
 Spread si TUberculosls.

One of the results of the interna. tional congress on tuberculosis re- gently held in Washington Is the awakening of communities through. out the land to the necessityof taking some action toward protecting their people from the dread disease con sumption. The belief Is established that each city must shift for itself in providing the means of preventing the spread of tuberculosis, the most deadly foe of our modern life. Health authorities need cooperation and aa sistance from everybody in the ef' fort to render this disease harmless and hence organizations are spring ing up all over the country to fur nish the needed aid. In this city there are reported annually over 100 deaths from consumption. A world wide authority estimates that this number multiplied by ten will repre-. sent the number of living cases, that is, there are at present over 1000 cases of the disease in our city, 9 large majority of whom are constant ly endangering the lives of their friends and families. What is to be done? Authorities agree that the remedies for this condition are:
 First. Notification of the disease.
 Second. A tuberculosis dispen. sary.
 Third. A sanatorium for selected patients, with view to cure the dis ease.
 Fourth. A hospital for chronic cases.
 Fifth. A colony for the residence and guidance of patients in whom the disease is latent or has been ar- rested and for whom carefully select ed and supervised employment is de- sirable.
 At the present time the first three conditions needed for a successful fight are found in our city or at the city's disposal. We now need hos pital where chronic cases can re- ceive care and nourishment. If you are in sympathy with a movement to supply such general want to your city, an opportunity will be given you tag day, November IA, to contribute your share toward providing such a hospital. This method of procuring the necessary funds has been found successful in other cities Waterbury is to have chance of demonstrating how awake her people are to this menace to public health and how pro- gressive in adopting means neces- sary for preserving her citizens.

DWELL AND LlLLEY
Beih Agree That Corporations
 SheuId Be Curbed.

Though Attorney John o'Neill is a strong democrat. he agrees with Gov ernor-elect Lilley on one thing. that is that the big corporations of this state have had too much to say In making the laws. At short calendar before Judge Bennett in the superior court to-day there was motion 70 open a default and leave to Ale an answer in the suit of Daniel Sulll- van against the Naugatuck Chemical Co. This is an action for damages for an accident. About a year ago the defendant, represented by Col onel Burpee, defaulted the case, and then 1t was to go before the court in a hearing in damages. It seems the default was never recorded. There was leak somewhere in the pro- ceedings by which, according to Mir O'Neill counsel for the plaintiff, the defendant fell into his own trap. In opposing the motion to open the de- fault and file. an answer MT O'Nelll repeated what he has said a thousand times before of the laws and the big corporations. If the same sentiments were uttered by some one else under other circumstances he would be called an anarchist and everything violent and disorderly.
 MT O'Neill said that we all know how big corporations, railroad con cerns and big manufacturers, used to make the laws to suit themselves. How they would hold back their cases for damages for accidents until a judge to their liking could be had or friendly jury found to hear their cases. They had the selecting of the juries and the making of the laws, but in this case the defendant, a big manufacturer, was caught in his own trap, and he. ought to be kept there.
 We all know" said MT O'Neill, how our distinguished fellow citi- zens, the gentlemen who run the railroads and the trusts and the big factories, go to Hartford and make the laws to suit themselves. Now when they have made laws which were intended for their benefit and one of them falls into trap of his own making, think it is the duty of the court to keep him there. This motion to open this default and to file an answer ought not to be al- lowed. At this late day by friend here sees his mistake. I don't think the motion ought to be allowed"
 Colonel Burpee replied that he agreed to some extent with the state- ments made by Mir O'Neill, particu- larly the political sentiments ex- pressed by him. but in this case 1t was the plaintiff who selected his own tribunal. He said that if the case is allowed to go to a jury he ought to be allowed permission to file his answer to the complaint. The technicalities of the case were then explained to the court, who immedi- ately allowed the motion.

TWO DIVORCE CASES
Wsre 1sarl Dy Jadse Bsssell h
 SuDefisr Court.

One of the two divorce suits heard by Judge Bennett in the superior court to-day was allowed. That was the suit of Anna Francis Ford against Joseph c. Ford. This mat ter was continued from last week, Mayor Thoms was counsel for the plaintiff There was no defense. It was continued to get further proof that the notice of the suit was re- ceived by Ford. To prove this a receipt for registered letter con taining the notice of the suit was of fered. showing a signature alleged to be Ford's. Judge F. M. Peasley took the stand and testified that he is an ofncer of the Waterbury Music company and that Ford was an em- ploye of the company, that he knew Ford's signature very well and the writing on the receipt for the reg istered letter was his This sufiiced and a decree was allowed, on the grounds alleged, intolerable cruelty.
 The suit of Mrs Hattie Howell against Thomas Howell was present. cd by Attorney Monagan. Mrs How ell stated she was 15 years of age when she married Howell in Ansonia in May 1900 and he was 32. A short time after marriage Howell began to abuse her. He never supported her and she was thereby obliged to work herself. After a year in An sonia they came to Waterbury and Ford got employment from the Sco- will Manufacturing company. A year there sufficed for him. He wanted something easier, according to the evidence of Frank H. Hayes. So he gave up work and took to warbling in saloons. This employment kept him in chronic state of inebriation. Meanwhile his wife worked for the Scovill company also and used to supply him with funds out of her pay envelope. One night it occurred to her that it was time this should stop and she refused to give any more. He picked up a bowl off a table and threw it at her, cutting her face. Another time he kicked her and she was laid up month in consequence. After the bowl throw ing incident she left him and went to live with his sister. Then she brought suit for divorce. He asked her to withdraw this action and promised to change his way of liv- ing. He said he was working but she found this to be untrue and in the end he dropped out of her life in August four years ago, and she has not seen him since.
 The witnesses in this case were Mrs Julia Graham and her husband John F. Graham and Frank H. Hayes. The court reserved decision.
