Dear Sirs-Owing to the lack OF any
hooks or acts. other than the Treas
urer's books being kept this audit has
taken a longer time than l at first
anticipated as l had to introduce a

from the face of the warrants, which
is a very difficult and tedious piece
of work. AS a suggestion to the
Board | will say that in my opinion,
the employment of a secretary who
a keep books and is familiar with
Office work and who could give several
hours every day to the work, would
be very advisable. l would also ad-
wise the instruction OF a system OF
accounting for the Office.

POLICE IMPRISONED
 IN BALKY ELEVATOR

South Norwalk, Oct 19.-Only the rattle of poker chips disturbed the peaceful silence which hung over hotel here at an early hour yesterday morning. In room on the top floor thirty-four citizens of specula tive bent were engaged in deep study of the possibilities that turk in fifty-two cards.
 Suddenly there appeared at the ho- tel a squad of State police. They crowded into the elevator that led to the floor on which the tournament was in progress. The elevator boy started the car upward, and when it had reached a point between the first and the second floor he uttered an exclamation of horror.
 Gents he said, she's busted.''
 The policemen could not get out. They told the boy they would arrest him if he didn't start the car. He said he would like to oblige but that the machinery was out of order. The policemen tried to start the car and failed. After a delay of ten minutes the boy succeeded in carrying his pas sengers to the top floor.
 Where thirty-fou men had been, one man was. He was playing solitaire, being, he said, unable to sleep be- cause he had read too many exciting chapters of Herman Spencer earlier in the evening.

A SMALL RED SPOT
Novel Experiment by Which It May
 Be Made to Disappear

A peculiar feature about poslam, the new skin discovery is that no ne is asked to buy it without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories No. 32 West Twenty-fifth street New York City, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin, about the size of a silver dol lay It will clear the spot so treated 1n7 twenty-four hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While poslam has been mentioned principally in connection with the cure of eczema, the most stubborn of skin diseases. it must be remembered that when used for itch, hives. pimples, blotches, acne, itching feet, sca1y scalp chafing of infants and similar minor skin troubles it's action is all the more pronounced. results being seen after an overnight application. As only a small quantity of poslam is necessary to cure such cases, a special fifty-cent package, usually sufficient, has been placed on sale at Jennie Haniltons and other leading drug stores in Bridgeport and throughout the country.

Wanted for Theft.

George F. Hayes, a former employe of Charles F. Ferris, of Stamford, who stole jewelry valued at about $500, to- gether with a suit of clothing and $50 in money, a week or so ago, was ar rested Friday in Boston. Hayes was employed about MT. Ferris house, and, in the absence of the other members of the family, he locked his employers father in a room, took his gold watch and chain, and then pried open a bu- reaI from which he extracted the rest of the jewelry and the money.
 For Good Roads.
 New Fairfield is, taking hold of the good roads movement in earnest. State highway construction is in pro- gress in the town and appropriations for highway work in conjunction with the State have been made for the next two years.
 Results of Accidents
 Floyd Cary of New Haven, was quite badly injured Wednesday night by falling down the stairs at the barn of Thomas Kyle. The physician found that two ribs were broken.
 The X-ray has been used on the shoulder of little Miss Marguerite Jones, daughter of MT John Jones of Norwalk, who was struck by an auto mobile last Thursday, and sustained an injured shoulder. Dr. Baker found that one of the smaller bones of the shoulder had been broken, which will never again be right. The shoulder will always droop.
 Otto Mertens of New Fairfield, was brought to the Danbury hospital Thursday suffering from a fractured skull and other injuries received in a runaway in New Fairfield. He was driving when a portion of the harness became unfastened and permitted the wagon to bump against the horse, causing the animal to run away. He was pitched headlong from the wagon and struck upon some rocks. There is believed to be good chance for his recovery if complications do not fol- low.
 For County Sanitarium.
 The site in Huntington, near Shel- ton. favorably cor sidered by the State snti-tuberculosis commission for the Fairfield County sanitarium to be erected at the expense of the State, was purchased Thursday from Dwight E. Wakelee and Albert Shaw The consideration paid is not stated. The property is located in the district Known as Coram. Of the plot. 40 acres were purchased from MT. Wakelee, and 15 from MT. Shaw. It is one of the highest points in that section. The view of the HOuSatonic river and the Sound, from the sanitarium site is ex- cellent. Plans will be made for the construction of the hospital at once.

IS 'NO=LICENSE'
 A GOOD THING?
A Strong Negative Argu- ment How Prohibition Is Nulliied.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 19-'It never mas been possible to enforce no license ln anyfcity of any considerable size in the United States, unless it has been close to some wet locality where li- quor could be obtained" declared Hugh F. Fox. secretary of the United States Brewers Association and a prominent worker in charitable and philanthropic enterprises in an address before the Economic Club of this city at its dinner tonight. MT. Fox was pitted against. ex-Governor Hanly of Indiana who is known as the "$40, 900 ora tor of the anti-saloon crusade and who made an eloquent plea for the ex- tension of prohibition to the larger cit +ies of the country. The discussion was on the subject ITS no license good thing for cities of the size of WorceSter?'r and was brought about by the fact that this is the largest city in the country under no-license laws. / Ex-Governor Hanly's appeal was based chiefly on ethical and moral grounds while MT. Fox devoted him. self to presenting an array of figures to prove that it is impossible to pre- vent the sale of liquor in cities of any size. He mentioned Cambridge, Chelsea, Newton and other Masachu- setts cities which are virtually part of Boston as places where the enforce
 ment of anti-loquor laws was fairly good for the reason that those who wished to drink would do so within the limits of Boston itself. In other New England cities and large towns which was voted for prohibition, he declared, the anti-liquor laws are null lifted through sales by drug stores. kitchen bars, dress suit case peddlerS' and other clandestine dispensers of li- quor and he mentioned Brockton, FItchburg, Worcester and various oth- CT towns and cities as Illustrating this condition of affairs. He also quoted the results of investigations in Ohio Indiana and Michigan as showing that in no city of 10000 or over is there any thing even approaching a cessation of drunkenness or of the more or less open sale of intoxicants.
 / Another startling assertion by MT. Fox was that more alcohol actually is consumed in cities under prohibitory laws than in those where the sale of liquor is legalized. He explained this by the greater consumption of hard li Quor containing fifty per cent. of all cohol in so-called "dry'' towns as com pared with the use of beer containing three per, cent. of alcohol. on account of the greater ease of concealing it, and also by the increased consumption of thinly disguised alcoholic prepara- tiOnS.

HITS ST.iTE POLICE
CHTEF CLARK OF NoRWALK SAYS THEY ARE USELESS IN INVES- TIGATING INCENDTARY FIRES.


 Norwalk, Oct. 19lThose who are in terested in the fire which consumed the Luth M Wright building at the corner of North Main ara Union streets, some time ago, are still await ing some action oh the. part of the State police relative to determining, if possible, the origin of the fire.
 The efficiency of the State police is attested to in this matter. The next day after the fire. or rather the same day, Chief of the Fire Department Harold F. Clark communicated with the State police. telling them of his belief that the fire was the result of incendiarisIn. Receiving no answer, he again wrote to Chief Egan, but as yet has not even received an acknowl- edgment.
 Insurance men claim that the State police are absolutely useless in this particular branch of their prescribed duties, adding that the only time any thing is found out in relation to incen- diary fires is when the investigation is conducted by local parties.

| sNThere's new coon in town" was Ia slogan in certain circles not many years agone, and his identity became at once the question of interest.
 There's a new partisan influence in Epwn, and his identity is not in doubt SLhe doesn't hide his light under a bushei.'' Since his election to the high office of Secretary of State, the figure of Hon. M. H. Rogers of this city has loomed up on, the Republican horizon, portentiously to the other Re- publican bosses. He is the conceded head of the local machine. Were it not that he is of an actively ambi- fious temperament, the other bosses would be content with the situation, but as he has developed symptoms of an intention to extend his power; even to county limits, there is a growing ed to fear the prowess of the new coon.'' Sheriff Hawley and Speaker Banks will probably be found ready to "put a spoke in his-wheer' at the earliest opportunity.
 The power of the local Republican machine over the privates-the non- drinking, back-boneless automata-is Well-nigh absolute. There are occa- sional outbreaks, but they are quick 1y squelched, as in the primaries of last week.
 An illustration of this absolute pow CT recently occurred in certain dis trict-we omit the number lest identi- hcation of the persons concerned might lessen their self-respect by re- vealing the abjectness of their surren- der to the machine. In that district, two reputable Republicans were am- bilious of honors at the hands of their party, and had worked up a strong feeling in their favor. But neither of them came up to the machines re- quirements; perhaps they were not sufficiently pro-corporation to be re- lied upon. Whatever the reason, the mandate for the decapitation of their candidates went forth, and both promptly withdrew.
 "Fyor the good of the service" is a reason usually given for peremptory dismissals from the militia; for the good of the cause, is the usual basis for the process of reading out of the panty"; for the good of the machine, was evidently the reason for the H. lustration of machine power above mentioned a very excellent req son but one which is always effective with the automata.

WAY OPENED FOR BULKELEY'S stBARREL''

The Judiciary committee of the late Reneral Assembly has been more
 harply and generally censured for &ins of omission or commission than hny other of the committees, but one IT its sins of commission was not un- lowered to public view until the re- bent city election in New Haven. Acl burding to the New Haven Journal 6our1er,'' the "conspiring Judiciary hommixtee" so emasculated the new feorrupt practices act as to permit loorruption of the suffrage, the identi- sOad evil which such laws are profes- nedIy intended to prevent or punish. Ht is rather more than intimated that :ssuch emasculatfon was intended to permit corruption in the election next year of the legislators who will choose The successor of U. s. Senator Bulk eley, and that the agency was "a knowing or ignorant Judiciary com mittee''
 Whether others than members of that .'conspiring" committee took part 'an the emasculation which will per- init Senator Bulheleys .'barrer' to en- ter into next years contest as an all most open factor, does not appear clearly. It may be recalled, however. fl1at Speaker Banks violated the cus- tom in such matters by refusing to appoint Judge Malone of Bristol to the chairmanship of the Judiciary com mittee and by naming to that position Mr. Burnes of Greenwich who had not the slightest visible claim to it and whose appointment was a genuine surprise. Can it be that this emas- cuIation of the corrupt practices law was, with other equally improper acts, contemplated when the Judiciary ap- pointment was denied to Malone and given to Burnes?
 Bnt, whatever the motive of that ap- pointment and of the subsequent perhaps the consequent-emas of the corrupt practices act, the facts remain, according to the Journal-Cou- rier. that the legislative elections of 1910 may be debauched with impun- ator Bulkeley, and that the result of the following election of his successor by the General Assembly may, repre- sent, not the real wish of the people, but the votes of a corrupted balance of power in the several towns. Credit for foresight and for close calculation of future chances must be given to the originators of : the emasculatory scheme. It may prove that this scheme was the turning point of the Bulkeley Mclean contest.

been made by the management fort the con-
venience and comfort OF all who attend,
and different departments have been en-
larged to meet the demand for space in
which to make exhibits. Besides Splen-
did racing program for each day, no ef-
forts or expense have been spared to Sc
cure as free attractions in front OF the
grand stand some of the most novel and
Sensational acts to be found. The leading
feature this year will be the Six Flying
Banvards, the greatest aerial combination
in the world, who will make their first
and only appearance in Maryland.
"Polar, the Man Up Pole" who has
just come from Europe, will perform dar-
ing feats on slender pole 81 feet in the
air, and the smallest woman in the world
performing on wire, will also be there,
with other equally interesting and enter
tanning features. The railroads leading to
Frederick will sell excursion tickets, good
for the week, from all points, and special
trains will enable every person in this To-
cality to spend atleast day at the Great
Frederick Fair.
