GOVERNMENT REVIEWS
FOREIGN CROP CONDITIONS.
Situation in Europe Somewhat
Mixed, Report States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In its re-
view of foreign crop conditions. the
Crop Reporter, issued by the bureau of
statistics of the department of agricul-
ture today, states that the results Of
this years harvest came well up to ex-
pectations in Canada. In Europe the
situation is somewhat mixed. Russia,
Hungary and the Balkan states expert
enced considerable disappointment In
the actual yields, while In rance, and
even more in Germany, where only
moderate returns were looked for, the
harvest much surpassed the hopes en-
tertained a month ago.
The first estimates of yield from Rus
STA, which appeared some weeks ago,
show about an average wheat crop, but
a very meagre rye crop. The act that
the latter grain is the chief source of
food for the country, 1t Is declared,
makes this shortage serious from a ma
tional point of view.
Recent official estimates fully con-
firm the material extension of the 1908
wheat area in Great Britain and the
serious contraction in the acreage OF
that grain in Roumania and Germany.
Corn In Southern Europe is far from
satisfactory. From Italy, from Russia
and from the Balkans come serious
complaints of the damage, now believed
to be irremediable, inflicted by drought
Sugar beets in Germany and Austria
Hungary are exceedingly light, and
the low tonnage per acre probably will
be offset only in part by the good sugar
content.
The beginning of field work for the
new crops has been made extremely
difficult by the hardness of the sun
baked soil. To a lesssdegree, Hungary,
Austria and Germany have similarly
suffered. 1t is still early. however
and the inconvenient delay may leave
no lasting effects, the report states. 81
timely rains do not hold Off too long.

EASTON PRAISES
SITE At SOHO FOR
NEW HOSPITAL
Expects Shacks for tuberculosis
Patients to Be Ready
by January /.

Commenting on the action of the
Board of Freeholders last night, in vot-
ing to place the county tuberculosis
hospital at Soho, where the County
Hospital for Contagious Diseases is To-
Gated, Ernest d. Easton, executive sec
rotary of the Committee of One Hun
dred, issued the following statement
today:
"The Board of Freeholders is to be
commended in the selection of the site
for the tuberculosis hospital at Soho.
While other locations in the county may
have offered superior advantages, so
far as altitude Is concerned, yet Soho Is
sufficiently high to- get good results,
and is easily accessible, within a five
cent fare, to the patients who are to
take the treatment and their friends
who may want to visit them. The alti-
tude and location at Soho are certainly
more favorable thai the Newark tuber-
culosis camp on South Orange avenue,
where excellent results have been OBJ
tanned. In the fourteen weeks that
some Of the patients have been in at
tendance at the camp, one has been dis
charged as cured I'M three more are
considered as arrested cases. II must
also be understood hat all of these pa
tients were considered too far advanced
to enter either Verona or Glen Gardner.
Even more hopeful results should be
looked for at the institution at Soho.
while the tuberculosis hospital is to
be erected on the grounds of the conta-
gious hospital. yet the proximity of
each to the other is not close enough
10 warrant any suspicion of danger.
When patients understand the advan-
tages to be derived they will be quite as
willing to go to Soho as to the Orange
Mountain or elsewhere.
'If the Board of Freeholders had re-
fused to recommend Soho, legislative
sanction would have been necessary to
erect a hospital in any other part of the
county. To obtain this authority would
have caused a delay Of at least one year
and a possible refusal on the part of the
Legislature to grant permission.
I'VE believe the committee is quite
right in recommending that inexpensive
structures be put up. The building
committee should certainly lose no time
in erecting them. The shacks should be
ready for occupation by the first of
January"

MCARREN FIGHTS
FOR LIFE AFTER
GRAVE OPERATION
Condition of Brooklyn Senator
Serious, but Doctors Hold Out
Hope for His Recovery.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Senator Pat
rick H. McCarren. who underwent an
operation at st. GATHERINGS Hospital
in Brooklyn, Is in a grave condition
today. His physicians, however, de-
clare the politician will ecover.
The senator was stricken suddenly
in the Hotel Clarendon in Washing
ton street, Brooklyn, and was hurried
to the hospital in that borough, where
he was operated on by DIR. Peter
Hughes, his family physician.
The senator recovered from the.
anaesthetic at 1880 o'clock today, n
1t was announced that his strength
was being maintained, and hat his
pulse was good, but it was impossible
yet to predict the outcome. Later the
physician said his patient was doing as
we'll as could be expected.
The Brooklyn leader had been COM
planning slightly for several days that
he felt out of spirits. /.
Senator McCarren showed the effects
of the strain he was under when he
presided at a conference Of the local
leaders. Leaving Democratic head
quarters after this meeting, with
Deputy Tax Commissioner James II.
Tully, the senator remarked:
Jim, I don't feel good at all. l
don't know what is the matter with
me-"
Parting with Mr.. Tuily, he walked
down to the Hotel Clarendon. Later
he suffered a severe attack Of pain,
and a Clinton street physician was
called. This doctor advised him to
consult at once with his family ply
stefan. When DR.. Hughes reached the
Clarendon he found that the senator's
side was badly swollen. AS he touched
the swelling Mr. McCarren WINGED.
you've got it and you've got 1t bad
ly," said the physician.
Got what?' asked the senator.
Appendicitis" returned DIR. Hughes
That's what I thought It was" said
the senator. What are 0 going tt
do about it?"
you ought to be operated oil imme-
diately," advised the doctor.
Very well. doc, what's stopping
your
DIR. Hughes had the senator removed
in a private ambulance to st. Cath
crimes Hospital. His nephew and pri-
vate secretary, David Hogan. accom-
panied him to the hospital. He was
placed at once on the operating table

Complaints Against Head of Renaulf Company Nolled in New Haven
 And StratfOrd.
Ordeal Will Be in Fairfield Tuesday-Finding of Fair field Authorities Probably Will Influence Degree of Severity Advocated by Bridgeport Authorities = Miller Declares LaCroix Not Guilty of Flag Desc cration.

Paul LaCroix. the much arrested driver of the Renault car. and man. ager of the Renault Company in Amer ica. reached this city from Boston, last night. and immediately entered upon an endurance contest of another kind.
 Beginning with Prosecutor Alexander F. Delaney. iE this city. last night. at 10 o'clock. he went over the ground from Fairfield to New Haven again. not for the purpose of reaching Bos- ton ahead of anybody else. but to learn just how much he is indebted to Con necticut law.
 In the race of Thursday. LaCroix rode through the controls. To-day the controls had their innings with him.
 After he had given a bond of $500 to answer to the Bridgeport authorities the charge of publicly mutila ting the American flag, he went to New Haven to answer in the City Court there the technical charge of reckless driving. The New Haven charge had been made to hold him for Fairfield. It had serv- ed it's purpose and was nolled at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
 In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Burr of Fairfield had started to New Ha- ven with a warrant, charging reck- less driving. He brought LaCroix to Fairfield. Hearing on the case was continued until Tuesday.
 Before the much arrested automobil- ist got out of the hands of the Fair field authorities Deputy Sheriff Charles Stagg of Stratford presented himself

CHANNEL IS
 OBSTRUCTED
Sewers Long Undredged at Point of Discharge Make Trouble for Vessels Navy Blue, Drawing Eleven Feet,
 Grounds in Alleged IF Feet of Water

The barge Navy Blue, in tow of the tug s. E. Babcock, struck on the bar on the north side of the lower bridge, this morning, and resisted every effort of the tow boat to draw her off. It was dow water when the barge went on, but there should be over 12 feet of water there at low tide.
 The Navy Blue is loaded with coal for McNeiH's yard. She draws Il feet of water. The sewer which empties into the channel at this point is fill ing up the channel rapidly. A bar has been throwr. up which extends nearly to the flats on the other side. The filling of the flats on the east side of the river is pushing the mud out into the channel and iboatmen are complaining of the increasing difficulty in getting up the river.
 The channel above the lower bridge needs dredging to remove the accumu- lations deposited by the sewers. It was formerly the custom for the city to appropriate money for this dredg- ing at intervals, but the practice was several years ago. The cost, if the work is done at proper sea- sons, is small.

WHEELER KEEPS
 THEM GUESSING
But Never Knew He Is GO- oing to Build Warehouse With Cold Storage.

Samuel H. Wheeler. the progenitor of eight story buildings in Bridgeport. is accredited with all sorts of plans. Be sides talk that he is to build a theatre and that he has offered to build an automobile garage at Middle and Gold streets for Peck & Lines. it is now stated that MT. Wheeler will build a seven story. reinforced concrete build ing at Middle and Gold streets. with safe deposit vaults. and cold storage. for the preservation and safe keeping of all kinds of personal property. Those who claim to know say there will be a big department for the storage of foods such as butter. eggs. ales and lager and that the business will be operated on the plan of the big stor- age warehouses in New York The vaults would be for the storage of diamonds. silverware. furs. tapestries. and valuable bric-a-brac.
 Everyone who heard of the scheme thought it great. but MT. Wheeler said to reporter that the plan is new to him.
 All of the buildings that MT. Wheeler has erected in the past have had the roofs on before the owner has an nounced what they were going to be. The permit for the Security building was originally issued for loft build ing The Stratfield hotel building was also spoken of as a loft building. until Mr. Wheeler decided to make it into a hotel.

WOODRUFF TO
 SPEAK HERE
Former Governor to Discuss Public Utilities Before Business Mems -Associa- ton.

Word was received today that for mer Governor Rollin s. Woodruff of New Haven would attend the meeting of the Bridgeport Business Mems As sociation next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at The Stratfield, and speak on the Public Utilities bill now pend ing in the Legislature.
 Many business men do not fully un- derstand the purport and provisions of this bill and this will be an oppor- tun1ty to secure authentic information Governor Woodruff, before he left of flee, made a. strong fight for a public utilities bill and threatened to call a special session of the Legislature if steps were not taken to secure such a measure. After fruitless attempts to Sidetrack the movement it resulted in a commission being named to report on the advisabilitX of the establish ment of a Public Utilities commission.
 The Business Mems Associations of the State took up the matter and att tended the hearings in large numbers As a result the preliminary commission drew up the bill which is now before the Legislature.
 In addition to Governor Woodruff Ralph O. Wells. secretary of the pre- lfminary commission, which reported the bill, will speak, and Tax Collector Francis Atwater of Meriden will tell how he collects the military and poll tax of that city These topics are very timely just now and undoubtedly these speakers will be greeted by a large audience. All interested are invited.

is an innovation.
 'In England, where the office of cor an elective one. In nearly all of the states of the Union, it is still an cleo tive office.
 Owing to the fact that there ex- that people need conservator, that they cannot be trusted to elect their own officials, I have been forced to yield. I have therefore provided in this bill for the appointment of coro- ners by the general assembly upon the nomination of the governor.
 'If judges continue to appoint coro- ners and other Quasi-judicial and ad- ministrative officials, they become the dispensers of pap, rather than the dis pensers of justice, and political mo- tives will ultimately be the prevailing ones in the selection and retention of judges.
 eff judges are to be anything but judges, the people must hold them re- sponsible for the way in which they exercise political functions.
 Personally I greatly regret to see the influence of the Judiciary weaken their political appointments. The effect of these appointments upon the judi ciary itself is bad. The effect of this method of appointment upon the cor oners themselves is bad.
 "He may become perfectly indiffer- ent to the wishes of the people and his interpretation and enforcement of the laws may be affected by his mental attitude.
 Many have observed the inability on the part of some coroners to see negligence on the part of workmen, nor are they so slow to bring proSecu- tions against workmen for manslaugh- ter.
 '.If the method of appointing the cor oner be brought a little nearer to the people, his judgment on questions of gross negligence are not likely to be so greatly biased"
