 Hartford. Feb. 1S.-The senate was called to order at 11.15 by Lieut. Gov ernor Weeks. Prayer by Chaplain
 Two More Judges.
 The bill increasing the number of superior court judges from fourteen to sixteen was on the calendar starred for action.
 The bill was explained by Senator Searls, the chairman of the committee on the judiciary, which reported the bill. Senator Searls said the bill was in interest of litigants. particularly those of small means, more than it was IF the interest of lawyers. The report of the committee was, finally, unani- nous. At first it was thought that an addition of one judge would be sufficient, and he confessed that that was his (the senators) opinion But after considering the arguments made before the committee he came to the conclusion that an increase of two judges is necessary. It was stated to the committee that 1t is difficult for persons to have their cases tried, some being on the docket for two and three years. This was particularly true in New Haven and Fairfield counties.
 The report of the committee was ac- cepted and the bill passed unani- mously

SPREAD OF HOOKWORM
Sufferers in the South De-
CIared to Number Millions.
ADDRESS BY DR.. STILES
Discoverer of Origin Of the Malady
Discusses Problem.
UNCLEANLINESS THE CAUSE
Country Schools and Churches Dis
seminate the Disease Germs.
Summary of Conditions.

1.-The country schools and churches OF
the south are centers for the spread of
the hookworm disease.
IF had it in my power 1 would close
30 per cent of the schools and so per cent
of the churches in the rural districts of
the south.
Both are a menace to health and a
disgrace to our civilization. They ought
to be closed by law until they learn that
cleanliness is next to goodness.
In these statements DR.. Charles War
dell Stiles, the discoverer of the "hook-
worm" placed much of the blame for
the spread of the disease through the
south in the lack of sanitation around
the churches and schools in the rural sec
tons in a lecture at the University Club
last night.
In the eradication of the disease for
which John u. Rockefeller has recently
donated million dollars DIR. Stiles de-
cIared that the main effort will be
through the cooperation of the school
teachers. the physicians and the minis
ters in the sections where the disease is
prevalent School teachers. he said. have
= keen insight into needs along sanitary
lines and much help is expected from
them.
Already the Hebrews are entirely and
the Catholics are almost entirely work.

common pleas judges from adjoining
counties. They are Judge Robert NJ

The charges OF these heirs that Judges
Campbell and McCray were indicted
Inc charge that Judge Campbell forged
the receipt for S2.4u0 was based on the
statement OF heirs and the testimony of
friends OF his that he had served her

L. 1886. until her death. July Is. 1901
Judge Campbell was supposed To give

still another indictment charging him
with the giving OF d false account to the
estate of this man was returned by the
grand jury, the amount OF attorney fees
Judge Campbell having received from
Oliver being S3u99. The Indictment said
that Campbell could not have rendered
these services
Judge Campbell conIended that lie had
rendered tits service, but it was brought
out that he could not have done 50. since

ers go. And yet, incredible as it may
seem-Bil always hit them.
That round-arm. crazy swing, delivered
with frantic swoop of the chunky body.
ought never to have hit a man. but Bill
hit the fastest and the neatest of the
fighters. He could not follow up with any
skill. and SO the dizzied champions often
recovered and heSted him on points. but
they tasted that fat fist, and the knock
down record Billy made against the stars
will perhaps, never be repeated.
The Victims.
Tommy Ryan, supple panther,
fought old Bill. Iii and out Ryan cir
cled. graceful fawn, cruel as a tiger
He hit poor Bill thousand times. Sud
denly there was booming sound. Bill
had hit the agile Thomas, and. though
Ryan got the point decision, his crafty
head was one continuous ache for week
TO come.
Kid Mccoy. towering over the sawed
off Stiff. took him on at st. Louis. The
cold. hooking face of the Kid flashed
here ard there: his gloves drove in like
bullets: his matchless skill made poor old
Bill feel like d helpless child There was
d noise like the breaking up of a log jam,
and a tall, white figure sank to the floor
Bill had hit the wonderful Mccoy. The
Kid got NO somehow before the ten,
stalled il out and finally won. But what
"a Touchdown he did receive!
George Gardner, ablaze with newwon
glory said that old Bill would be like
picking cherries. The first round was
half a minute old when something fell
with a substantial PUNK. Bill had hit
the scienced George, and Gardner was
lucky to get himself together before the
referee could end the counting.
Al Weinig, who thought he was to be Q
champion. fought old 3 II. The slow
footed Stiff was still slower, because he
had bad ankle. He asked Weing to
split the money. and Al cruelty refused,
insisting on a ~ and - per cent di-
vision When Weinig advanced hands
forward as II grasping the handle bars
eyes sparkling, hump! Bill had hit him,
and he came to twelve minutes later.
Jack Root. foxy and crafty as Ryan
himself, took Bill on for an easy killing
Root won, but it was on a foul because
Bill, after he had landed that d'abolic
wallop on the ambitious Mr.. Root, swung
again before he was quite off the floor.
Peaceful Now
Mike Scl.reck fought the aged William,
and all ringfo,lowers know Mikes
strange style of advance, crouched low,
gloves almost on the floor. He came at
Stiff that way, and old Bill spun three
times in the air. On the third revolution
the fist met something soft that gave
- and fell upon the padding. 1t was
Mike Schreck, and nobody ever hit Mike
so hard before or after.
So the others came and went, all taking
a whack al old BIZ. and all getting the
nine-count from old William, too. Finally
Bill gave up the game and is now re-
spected citizen with a nice home and fine
little family. Stiff must be forty-seven
years of aSe, and cares no longer for Istic
diversions. But what a record he made
while he was going-a record of knock
down punches administered ito stars such
as few men ever made before and none
has rivaled since his time.
