WE ARE BEHIND BOTHER CITIES
 \SAYS THIS NURSE
Doing Nothing for Our COusumptives is
 Charge Made.
ORGANIZATION EFFECTED

Tn an interview this morning Mrs Herbert M- Knapp. who was choser president of the Visiting District Nurses Association yesterday after noon when the association was organ tzed, said that it was too early to say just what plans would be formulated and worked out by the association. She said that it would probably re- quire weeks time before she would know what would be done. She will consult with the other officers and members of the association and will appoint committees to look after the different branches of the work
 The officers elected were: President Mrs Herbert M- Knapp: vice presi- dents. Mrs. H. H. Pyle and Mrs. M. tor; treasurer, Mrs. William B. Hincks. Owing to the large amount of work which Mrs. H. IT. Tweedy already has on hand in New Haven sfre declined an official Position in the association
 This association is an auxiliary to the Fairfield County Anti-Tuberculosis Association One of the main objects at present in the minds of the ladies who are engaged in this work is to get members It is their desire to is possible It has been suggested that some of the ladies give the use of their homes for a day when they will invite their friends and those who speaker who is qualified to tell what tne aim Of the association is-
 While the funds of the association are important. the question of finances is not a paramount issue at the pres ent time. A prominent worker said this morning: If we can get the mem bers the money will come along all right" The ladies feel that 1t is the moral support on the part of the pub lie as well as the financial aid which Is necessary to make their work a sue cess
 One of the committees to be appoint ed will have charge of the sale of pins and buttons which the association has had made The buttons are of cellu- Ibid and sell for cents each The pins are like the usual fraternity pin with the sign of the And-Tuberculesis Association on the face They are 50 cents each.
 Mss Mary Ffnnegan. nurse at the dispensary, spoke at some length on the work and answered many Ques- tions. She said this morning that many people had very confused ideas of the difference between a dispensary and a hospital Visitors at the dis pensary frequently ask to see some of the patients. thinking that there are wards in the rooms of the association Miss Ffnnegan spoke of the need of having the dispensary on the ground floor of some building to save patients from the long climb upstairs as there Is now in the police and charities building. She also told of the way the people of Norwalk were taking hold of this work and making a suc- cess of it. The citizens of Stamford are also coming to the front In that city the school children have been made members of the association at 5 cents a head Tn closing she said that Bridgeport had the reputation of do- ing less for its consumptives than any other city in the country.

MANY INSPECTORS
 ON PUBLIC WORKS
Some are Efficient and are Needed on the Job-Oth- CTS Are Merely Hench- men of Col. Rogers and Must Go.

Around the City Hall there is much guessing going on as to who is going; to walk the plank in the Street depar!- ment- Director c. F. A. Biltz has twelve inspectors and foremen under him. It is said that the director ia agreed that about one-half Of this number is enough, but that half os them are holding jobs because they are henchmen of Town Chairman M H. Rogers, chairman of the Permanent Paving Commission, and the other half are holding jobs because they are ca pablo and because some have to be employed who understand the work
 One foreman is J. A. Cortade who receives $3.50 per day at certain times of the year and s4 a day at others, when called upon to do special work Other foremen and inspectors and tho daily wage they receive are as follows: James Logan, timekeeper, 8; John ]. Ney1ns, inspector of excavations, s32T. Rodney s. Allen foreman, 8; George Coughlin, foreman, 8; W. A. Walker. street sprinkling iuector 8; James A. k1ernan, street paving foreman, 8, George Payne, foreman, s.; Albert, Thomas, foreman, B; Fred Forbes, s. Harold Dubois, foreman, $2.50; and James Graham, s3.5o.
 Just who the incoming director Of public works will be no one knows but It is a sure thing that all Of the fore men who are holding jobs as a matter or politics will make an exit

N~k~%-@A New York, Nov. 4.-'Hello Wilbur. I'm mighty glad to be back" shouted Orville Wright from the deck of the White Star liner Adriatic today as his brother came up the gang plank to welcome him after his triumphant trip through Europe.
 He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Katherine Wright who has been ennobled with royalty so much in France and Germany that she said: ''It feels mighty good to be back with plain Americana
 The Wrights left for Dayton. 'I have had a splendid trip through Flu flights" was as far as Orville would go in discussing his wonderful flight in Berlin. 'I did go pretty high. have made other pretty successful flights in Berlin. My trip with the German Crown Prince was an ordi- nary flight. I did not go high nor fast The Crown Prince seemed to enjoy the ride and continually wanted to go higher"
 Wright spoke in the terms of high est praise of Comte De Lambert's won derful flight over Paris but added:
 While Comte De Lambert is a splen- did manipulator of our machine and thoroughly capable of managing the must odrihS hShls, e.n soiS SPSan for my brother as well as myself in decrying such flights. They are efool- hardy and gain nothing. If there was a scientific discovery to be made by such flights, guess we would make them. But nothing is gained save the sensation felt.

Passers- by on all the streets are in peril, for if the motor stopped it would be inn possible to find a place in a crowded street sufficiently clear for the aero plane to land safely-'

ernoon, rather handily. but he had to
drive hard in the last sixteenth to beat
off Dominus Aroi, which hung on game
ly and with great speed throughout.
Roseben was expected to cut quite. a
figure in the running, owing to his
low weight, the fast track and the dis

burst of speed in the stretch, won the
event by less than length Maya
