LOCAL STATION
 TO BE CONTINUED
It is Doing Good Work for
 Recruiting Service.

Along with the report that the reg ular army had reached its full quota came another that some of the recruit continued. The station at Waterbury was abolished on Feb. 19 and Lieut.. H. L. Evans, who is in charge of the recruiting in this State is said to have recommended that the station in this city be discontinued and the station at Hartford left undisturbed.
 It may be asserted positively that the station in this city will not be discon- tinued and also that the station in Hartford will go out of existence on April 10th This information comes from headquarters which is at New Haven. The discontinuance of this station was recommended but the ad- jutant general after an investigation concluded that Bridgeport is of more benefit to the department than Hart ford.
 All of the recruiting stations have received orders not to accept any ap- plicants excepting former service men. It is believed that this order will be of. short duration, for the army is los ing about 300 men a month and the re- enlistments do not go far in filling up the regiments.
 After April 10th there will be only two recruiting stations in the State, headquarters at New Haven in charge of Lieut.. Evans, and the central sta ton here in charge of Sergt. L. c. Goodwin and his assistant, Private Mooney.

GUNPOWDER TO DRIVE DOEHRER'S
 ALUMINIUM SHIP
Bridgeport Inventor Has Novel Plan for
 Craft to Float Through Air.

John Doehrer. 426 Union avenue. be- lieves that he has solved the problem of aerial navigation. The basis of his solution is a motor driven by explod- ing gunpowder, which will develop five horse power with a motor weight of five pounds per >horse. His plan is to build the entire ship of aluminium and give it a capacity calculated to en- able 1t to carry two men with sup plies for several days A feature of the plan is a rod 60 feet long, upon which will slide a 50 fb. weight. The changing position of the weight is counted upon to keep the ship on an even keel. A pair of propellors re- vOlving toward each other throw a current of air against the bottom of the gas bag, which the inventor be- heves will tend to prevent condensa- tion. He expects to discharge the eX- haust gases from the engine into the gas bag. Doehrer is a toolmaker em- ployed by the Singer Mfg. Go. He has been granted several patents for useful inventions.

The company desires to raise it to $500 0OO to provide for Improvements and additions to it's building. The new stock is preferred stock and has no voting power unless the dividends lapse. MT. WhitOn of New London made his customary objection to the issuance of any but common stock
 MT. Loos of New Haven objected with some vigor to the passage of a resolution amending the Hartford city charter so as to provide bill board ordinance. He claimed that such an ordinance was unconstitutional MT. Parker of Hartford explained that this was not so and the resolution was passed.
 A resolution was also passed amend ing the charter of the Aetna InSur- ance Company so as to permit it to insure automobiles, and that of the Connecticut Fire Insurance Company so as to allow it to insure against dam age by hail storm.

REJECTS BILL FOR NORMAL SCHOOL
 AT WATERBURY
(snecial from United Press


 Hartford, March 1O.-The committee on claims reported to-day unfavorably on the case of Mrs. Mildren Scott of Bethel, who was shot by a National Guardsman, while standing near the shooting range at that place. Mrs. Scott put in a claim of $500 but the committee based it's unfavorable re- port on the fact that she did not file it within the required time.
 A favorable report was received on the measure providing for the educa- tion of the deaf and dumb and also on a resolution providing for the payment of the funeral expenses of J. G. s. L.. w. Silliman of New Haven The lat ter resolution was passed under sus- pension of rules.
 A resolution, providing for the ap- pointment as trustees for the Connec- ticut hospital for the insane at Mid dletown, of George Forster of Rock vile and J. J. Donahue of Hartford was received and referred to the com mittee on Senate appointments.
 The bill giving a normal school to Waterbury was rejected

SECRECY VEIL IS
 LIFTED FROM COST OF M'KINLEY'S DEATH
Especial from United Press.>


 New York, March 10-With the re- turn to private life of former Presi- dent Roosevelt it has been possible to secure the details of the expenditures made in connection with the last ill., ness and death of former President Mo Kinley which have been so carefully covered up for seven years that even the auditing officials of the govern ment have known but approximately how the s4500O appropriation by Con- greSS was expended.
 The object of this great secrecy was to avoid a repetition of the extreme unpleasantness which followed the iil- ness and death of President Garfield and to prevent a discussion of the character of the several claims.
 The money was distributed as fol- lows:
 Physicians and surgeons. $32, 400; un- dertakers; S2,3S7; special services. $1,- 955; nurses. $2. 300; miscellaneous, $3,- 499.SS; total, SAP, ,5S1 .SS.
