IN CITY 1ENEMBNTS
Special tuberculosis Commit.
tee Has Hearing in
City Hall.
LOCAL AUTHORITIES TALK
More Power OF Inspection Should be
Given To State Board of Health,
They Think.

The monthly session of the special
tuberculosis commission of Connecti-
cut was held in the chamber of the
Board OF Aldermen yesterday after
noon. The members Of the commits
sion present were: DR.. j. p. C. Fos-
ter Of this city; Dr. Stephen ]. Maher,
of this city; Horace Cheney, of Man
chester; A. II. Kimball, Of Waterbury;
DR., Omer LaRue, of Putnam; John i.
Gunehanan, of Hartford, and A. p.
Dossin, OF Meriden.
The discussion for the afternoon,
which was a public session, concern
ed the tenement conditions as affecting
tuberculosis. Dr. Frank Wright of
the local health board, DR.. Townsend
OF the state board of health, Professor
William p. Bailey and Arthur T..
Booth were present on special invita-
ton and discussed the question. DR..
Townsend suggested that more power
should be given to the state board of
health for the inspection of tenement
houses. While the state law was con-
sidered very good regarding the in
spectlon and equipment OF new tene-
ments he considered the law allowed
too much laxlty and too little power
In inspecting the older places. It
was pointed out that health reports
show that a house which has had a
death from tuberculosis generally has
several more later while nelghboring
places remain immune showing a need
for the thorough renovation and disln-
fecton of such places
DR. Wright seconded the idea. He
said that there should be more power
cause when a city board might be un-
able TO enforce regulations state
board could not being subject to such
influence as a local body would to in
terfere with action.
Prof Bailey and Mr.. Booth spoke
mainly on the unsanitary condition in
city ,tenements and the lack of clean
mess. Each favored more power to
the state board OF health A suggcs-
tion was taken mp and expanded In
regard to the equipment and malnten-
ance Of a sanitarium for consumption
the funds to be raised by subscription
among the workmen In factories and
their employers. Tho idea was that
they might have such place where
4 they would he treated without cost
and not as paupers which would be
maintained by their own efforts. Such
have been established elsewhere and
| the suggestion was that civic societies
might take the matter up acting or
the experience gained in other places
The commission Is TO make a re.
port at the next session of the genera
legislature.

New York, April l5,-State Senator
Patrick H. McCarron, leader of the
Kings county democracy, was unseat-
ell from his place as delegate 10 the
party's state convention tonight by a
vote of 325 to 50 after a two days con-
test before the committee on creden-
tials. He was alternately greeted with
cheers and derisive cries and once was
insulted by a man on the platform near
him to whom the senator replied that
he would talk 10 him outside of the
hall. In scene that was tense and
dramatic IN the extreme he first made
an appeal TO the convention to refuse
It's sanction to the majority report Of
the committee on credentials and then
followed with a deliberate defiance Of
those who, he said werc excluding him
from the place In the party councils for
which he had been chosen by his dem
ocratic constituents To the Tammany
delegates he delivered a threat that lf
/ the plan to put him outside the party
4 lines were carried out no one present
! In the convention hall would live long
enough to see the election of another
democratic mayor Of New York.
Tho senator's speech was attended
with unusual and picturesque circum-
stances From the time he entered the
! hall he received the cheers of his loyal
| followers but the majority were against
! him and the counter demonstrations
were greater In volume but he made his
contest calmly and with courage
The proceedings were attended with
much confusion and disorder In which
both the McCarren men and their op.
ponents participated, The long two
days wait for the credentials report
! had affected the delegates who showed
the strain during the long roll call on
the adoption Of the majority report.
The business for which the conven-
ton was assembled. the selection of
delegates to the national convention,
the nomination of presidential electors
and the adoption Of platform was al.
most forgotten in the excitement ovel
the McCarren contest.
When the vote was announced Nc
Carren with his followers rose and lef

THE PRINCE. OF SPENDTHRIFTS
 In the year 1913 Monte Carlo will cease to be the plaything of fortune. At that time licensed gambling at the Casino will be prohibited, and the world will lose one of the most historically famous places that ever existed. For countless ages Monte Carlo has been the Mecca for gam blers; millions have been won, mill lions lost, and past chronicles attempt no description of the murders, sui eides, wrecked fortunes and lives that mark its lengthy epoch of gambling. With the keen foresight that marks the successful playwright Owen Davis centers4 considerable of his medodrama in Monaco. Here 1t is that The Prince of Spendthrifts" makes last, wild effort to squander the remnants of his fortune. Never was an incident surrounded with such thrilling interest; never a sub 1ect handled so dramatically and so intensely realistic. That the time spent at Monte Carlo by the Prince of Spendthrifts,' covers the most ex- citing, thrilling and sensational episodes ever natured by a dramatist. A. H. Woods presents the attraction at Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening. There are twenty-two play CTS in the cast, including Thomas Maher Of this city. Popular prices.

But few opportunities now remain for local play lovers to witness the splendid performance of "Davy Crockett" that delightful drama of the backwoods which is being played by Polls own stock company at the Jacques this week. This brave hearted pioneer makes an attractive stage hero and MT, Hartford plays the hunter and scout in a natural manner which never fails to make it's impression on the audience. Miss Nordstrom is delightful as Eleanor Vaughn, the cultured, refined girl, who falls in love with the rough backwoodsman. Next week the play will be The Embassy Ball,'' and the management has arranged to intro- duce the sensation of the season. All Paris has been talking for months on the new sheath gown, a whim of fashion which goes back to the Directoire period. This sheath gown will be shown for the first time in this city at the Jacques in next weeks play. rs ;: .,
