The climax came last night. MIS-.
Anna Emmett and Mrs. Chackett We're
sitting on the front porch of the hotel,
rocking calmly back and forth, when a
low, raI1ish black something loomed
up in the offing. Hist. 1t was the
bird, without delay the bird, with a
loud yell, swooped down upon Mrs.
Emmett. who-Was SO startled that she
and the rocker fell over backward.
And then Mr.. Bangs. thorong MY
wrought up, went right down to the
Bath Beach station and reported the
entire matter to Captain Devaney.
Captain Devaney was puzzled for a
time but finally sent Patrolmen cof-
fey and Maher, armed with shotguns,
to lie in walt on the veranda until the
bird appeared. Last night the hotel
looked like a besieged garrison.

CONNECTICUT SEEMS
TO BE THE STORM CENTER
Merry War Over Project TO Establish
Public Health Department.
Especial to The Bulletin.

Washington, May 2S.-The merry
war over the proposition to establish
department of public health is still
going on. with no signs of letting up.
and Connecticut seems to be the storm
center. Mere telegrams. letters and
petitions have been received from Con-
necticut than any other state and now
some in favor of the bill are begin
ming to arrive In the meantime, the
bill seems to be in danger of being
postponed for this session at least.
Senator Owen. the author of the sem
ate bill last week made a statement
in the senate as to the real objects
of the measure He said. in part:
This bill itself merely brings the
health in one body, under ione head,
without changing the character of the
activities or authorities of such ex-
isting bureaus. The greatest of these
bureaus dealing with the public health
are the bureau of public health and
marine hospital service, but various
public hospitals, the bureau of chem
istry and of pure foods and drugs, and
bureau of meat inspection. including
some IS laboratories of the federal
government, are to be transferred to
one department by this proposed bill.
Nobody has heretofore prateSted
against the existence of these bureaus
their functions. Nobody has de-
clared them unconstitutional. Nobody
has charged that they in any wise
have interfered with tha llomeopaths,
osteopaths eclectics. Christian Scien-
lists, or any other school of healing
NobQay has contended that they would
do sh o. nas desired that they should
be abolished for fear that they would
interfere with the local practitioners
in the gentle art of healing. No man
who has any knowledge of .constitu-
fionai law would believe il possible
that the federal government could in
wade the poliee powers of the state or
in any way interfere with the liberties
