Fire in Summer Kitchen on Happs
Property Far Out on Morgan
Street Occurred Last
Evening.
STRUCTURE DESTROYED
Was Total Loss, But Was covered
by lnsurance-chief Anderson
Protects the Business
District.

The fire department made long run
to the residence of John H. w. Happs,
Boulevard and Plank road, at 10:45
O'Clock last evening, summer kitchen
but short distance from their large
home being ablaze When the depart
ment arrived the frame structure had
tumbled to the ground in heap OF
ashes and was a total loss. The
structure was insured and covered the
complete loss
To reach the fire it would have been
necessary for the department to lay
about $50 feet of hose, but Chief An,
derson did not think it advisable as
fire then, in the business district would
have been fatal AS 1t was when the
reels arrived little could be done
except to protect the nearby house.
Water was thrown by the chemical
engine. Chief Anderson had the reels
return after they had gone back to the
engine houses in order to double the
protection to the house as it was APP
parent that the fire might break out
again at any time.
What caused the fire to start is not
known, but 1t was roaring merrilly be-
fore discovered by members Of the
family and neighbors. The summer
kitchen was used as a woodshed and
had little small frewood in 1t at the
time This all aided the blaze in max
ing Roadway and the fire had almost
become exhausted when the depart
ment arrived after the run of over a
mile. Only few of the uprights were
remaining, the top and sides being a
heap OF ashes.
This is one OF the longest runs made
by the department for a long time, the
house being only a short distance from
the east end of the golf grounds and
necessitates long run over the rough
surface of High street.

25Oth ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
of the
Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 9th

5000, 900 to 100000, and the quantity
of filler tobacco from 100000 to 1,000,-
600 lbs, together with a provision that
the wrapper and filler tobacco should
be unstemmed when received by this
concession.
The support back of the Bulkeley
amendment was evident when two
Pennsylvania senators gave their sup
port to their colleague from Connecti-
cut, all of whom had received strong
petitions from cigarmakers for the ac-
tion they desired. Mr.. Aldrich, reply
ing calmly, declared there were men
whose denunciation was the highest
commendation, and said the commit
tees action involved no mystery or
petty politics, but that it proposed in
the future to change a schedule when
convinced that a mistake had been
made, as it had done in the past. He
expressed the opinion that the actual
importations from the Philippines
would not equal the number named in
the amendment the committee had
adopted and said that what it had
done was to encourage a people who
had been brought under the American.
Encouraged by the committees action
Senator LaEollette proposed another
amendment to reduce the free impor-
tation of cigars to 60.000,000 annually,
but this was defeated 3S to 27. An
interesting feature of the days dis
cussion was a declaration by Senator
Borah that he proposed to cast his
vote for loosening the bond which con-
nected the Philippines to the states.
The Philippines amendment to the
tariff bill was technically under con-
sideration until six o'clock, when it
was temporarily laid aside, and Mr..
Aldrich took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to present the finance commit
tees amendment to the silk schedule.
At seven o'clock the senate adjourn
ed until 10 o'clock tomorrow.

To Reduce Number of Cigars and
Quantity of Filler Tobacco to Be
Admitted Free, Accepted.

Washington, June 15-Indulging in
a vigorous denunication of the COM
mittee on finance of its change of
front over night on the passage of the
bill regarding importations from the
Philippine islands, Senator >Burkett of
Nebraska, standing face to face with
Chairman Aldrich, today, declared that
its action looked to him like a game
OF petty politics." He characterized
the action as an effort to hang the
senator from Wisconsin UP in the air.
and finally declared that this event af-
forded senators a good opportunity to
vote lack of confidence in the COM
mittee."

would accept the amendment proposed

LITTLE GENERAL DEMAND
FOR UTILITIES COMMISSION.
Doubtful if Bill Of Any Kind Can
Pass This Session.

Hartford. June 15.-The present tenn
porary commission to investigate the
situation as to public utilities COM
panies in this state and report a bill
to the present legislature, which was
appointed on the last day of the ses-
sion of 1907, does not desire to be
continued, in any case, and this to a
large degree disposes of the sugges-
tion that the subject of public utili-
ties commission be continued to the
next general assembly. The present
legislature Is ready to dispose of it.,
moreover, and will undoubtedly do so
in decisive manner
AS time goes on it is becoming more
and more doubtful II bill creating a
commission Of any kind can pass this
general assembly. There has been a
considerable revulsion of feeling since
the appointment of the select commit
tee which has the matter in hand at
present, due largely to the fact that the
people of the state have shown no
special interest in the hearings before
this committee, which have been well
advertised and ample. There is no
such demand for a commission as the
house insurgents" tried to make it
appear when the subject was up in that
body. Indeed, it is doubtful is there is
any general demand for it.
The special committee will doubt
less report some kind of bill, though
that is by no means certain yet, but it
is certain that its bill will bear little
resemblance to that report by the 1907
commission and which 1t didn't feel
like supporting afterward. There will
be nothing in 1t regarding the issuance
OF securities for the reason that no era
OF frenzied finance exists, has existed
or is likely to In Connecticut. That any
bill can pass Is doubtful, for the feel
ing among the legislators has changed
materially. Efforts to show the neces-
sity for a commission have largely de-
pended upon the testimony OF New
Yorkers who told of conditions in their
home state which can't obtain in Con-
necticut without material changes in
laws now on the statute books.

SPEAKING OF MILK SUPPLY
OF CONNECTICUT CITIES
Monthly Report of the Connecticut
State Board of Health.

Hartford, June 15-The total number
of deaths in the state for the month of
May according to the monthly bulletin
of the Connecticut state board of
health, was 1927. This was TIA less
than in April and 119 more than in
May of last year, and Sc more than
the. average number of deaths during
May of the five years preceding. The
death rate was 1916 for the large
towns for the small towns 14.s and
for the whole state 15.4. The deaths
reported from infectious. diseases were
215, being 14.2 per cent. of the total
mortality. Speaking of the milk sup
ply of Connecticut cities and towns,
the report said:
THE attention of the health officers
is called to the necessity of a proper
inspection of the milk supply, espe-
cially during the hot summer months
1t is today generally acknowledged
that an impure milk supply is respon-
sible for a considerable part of the
intestinal troubles among children. 1t
has frequently been assumed that
while a milk inspection is needed in
large cities it is not necessary in the
smaller communities. During the last
two years the state laboratory has
examined milk from many of the
smaller cities and towns and has
found that the milk furnished in these
is not superior to that in the larger
cities, not only in many cases is it be-
low the legal standard in chemical
composition, but it is frequently pro-
duced and sold under indefensible con-
ditions of earelessness and filth.
The reason is that in the majority
in larger communities in the states
it is no ones duty to attend to the
matter of milk inspection. In a few
places there are regularly appointed
milk inspectors. In some others the
heelth officer makes it a part Of his
duty to collect milk samples and have
them analyzed. Where this has been
done an Improvement in the quality
has followed at once. Experience has
shown that as soon as the dealers
know that their milk is liable to be
sampled and sent to the laboratory for
analysis an Improvement in the quail
ity of the milk is sure to result.
ut is certainly one of the most use
ful duties of the health officer to give
his close attention to this universally
used food whose purity is so connect
ed with the matter of public health
With the approach of the summer sea-
son, therefore, health officers are urged
to undertake the problem of milk in
spection. The state laboratory offers
its services free of expense to the Of
ficers in the state who will undertake
regular system Of inspection Of the
milks sold"
