HAROLD |. BAKER
 TYPHOID VICTIM
Prominent Young Business Mans Death Shock to
 Friends
ILL ONLY TWO WEEKS

Harold Lindley Baker, one of the best known and highly esteemed young business men in the city died at 5 o'clock this morning at the home of his parents, 269 Barnum avenue. The news of his untimely passing came with cruel force and caused great sor- row to the multitude of friends and acQuaintances the young man possess ed. Death was due primarily to pneu- nlonia and the secondary cause was typhoid fever.
 MT. Baker was stricken about two weeks ago. He was the local repre- sentative of the White Manufactur- ing Co.,, makers of White Steamer cars and his business took him all over the state. He made the trips in an automobile. During his illness he tried to account for his malady but he was unable to say where he had contracted the fever.
 The doctors endeavored to connect the case with the. typhoid epidemic at Woodmont but the young man was positive that he had not been there He drank water and milk in several cities few days before he was stricken, the largest quantity of wat CT having been taken in Hartford.
 There were no symptoms of pneu- mon1a until yesterday when rapid re- spiration and a change in tempera- lure QcnOl60 IadC dnOCn0r dllmenC naO developed. Dr. J. R. Topping the family physician called a consultatio of physicians. It was feared that the typhoid infection had punctured the intestinal organs but an examination of the blood showed the typhoid in lection was only secondary.
 The deceased was 23 years old and the only child of MT. and Mrs. Freder- ick D. Baker. Mrs. Baker who was Miss Carrie l.. Carter before her mar riage is critically ill at her home hav- ing been in a dangerous condition fo1 several days. She has not been ap- prised of her sons death because o1 the gravity of her own condition.
 The father of the young man is best known in the business world as the president of the Acme Shear Co., and Vice President of the Weed Chair Tire Strip Co. He is grief stricken by the death of his only child. He was formerly member of the board o1 Fire Commissioners.
 The deceased was very popular among his school chums in Eass BF1dGepoft and for the three years he

 Glenn H. Curtiss made a. short flight this morning and before the day is done it Is expected he will make an- other attempt to win the short speed record from Louis Bleriot.
 There was considerable inquiry among Americans here as to why it Curtiss had equalled Bleriot's mark of S:04 2-5 for the 6 1-5 miles of the course.
 No charge of favoritism will be made friends are wondering whether he is to be given an equal chance with the flock of French aviators.
 Henry Fousnier, who miraculousiy escaped death in the fall which dashed his machine to the ground yesterday afternoon. appeared on the field this morning wearing many bandages.
 Paulhan was the recipient of con tinued congratulations today as it was taken for granted that he had won the first prize, $10,O00, in the Grand Prix De La Champagne and that his record of yesterday will also bring him the $, 900 prize for best duration flight poor man having been a tight rope walker but a short time ago. He took up with aeroplantng less than two months ago but in his flights of Tues day and Wednesday he clearly showed that he is the most advanced aviator on the ground.
