Dr. Ober Satisfied the Crisis Is Over, But Says Situ-
 ation Is Serious
Four New Cases Come to
 Light Today in Prosecu- tion of School Inspections

Satisfied that the crisis has passed in the scarlet fever epidemic of this city, yet entirely unwilling to admit the situation is not one demanding the closest attention, Dr. George E. Ober, president of the Health Board, today estimated the probable number of scarlet fever cases now prevalent at 200.
 Tt may be Tuesday before Health Officer McLelan vii have his records up to the date, he has been so rushed with the work of quelling the epidem- lc," said he, "but when the reports are all in, I think 200 will be not far from the total number of cases
 Four new cases were reported to the board of Health today, each case the development of an incipient case dis closed in the school inspections Pros ecution of the inspection from day to day leads the physicians to visit the homes of the pupils under observation, and when symptoms develop, the yell low card is placed upon the home and quarantine is enforced
 The report of today's four cases makes a total of IA new cases this week, and while these IA yellow cards were being tackled up, only four were removed. Thus the health board sta- tistics shows an increase of 10 cases for the week. But these cases in all most every instance, the doctors be- lieve, would not have come to light without the school inspection. So conditions, while on the face of things, may not look so bright, are in real ity much improved. Dr. Ober is con- fident the crisis has passed and the number of eases will show a steady decrease henceforth.
 All sorts of stories have reached the health board following the institution of the medical inspection. One had a doctor using the same tongue de- presser for all the children he exam ined, without washing the instrument. Others have the pupils subjected to various indinities in connection with various indignities in connection with as wholly unfounded. s
 The Bridgeport High School will not have a session on Monday owing to the discovery there yesterday of a scarlet fever case. The school will be disinfected and reopened following Washington's birthday with the regu- lar Wednesday sessions at S:30.

TO THE
 "GREAT BEYOND'
Ike" Williams, Genial, Kindly, Charitable and Hospitable Soul Lays Aside Earthly Cares.

Genial, big hearted, sunny natured "Ike'' Williams is no more. Born Isaac B. Williams no one who knew him as friend or acquaintance ever thought of him other than "Ike.'' He has been so long in Bridgeport that he was practically a Bridgeporter for more than half of his life was spent here. His native place was Reading, Penn, but his home was Bridgeport. Here he married, here his children were born, here he found his lasting friends and here death found him just as he would have wished surrounded by his loving and devoted wife and four chill dren.
 The illness which resulted in the in evitable was of extended duration though it did not compel the deceased to take to his bed until few weeks ago. His complaint was of a progres. sive nature and finally resulted in complications which baffled the best medical skill and resisted the most tender care upon the part of the wife of the deceased.
 Not often is there found a man of a more sunny nature than Ike Will Hams. He saw in life an opportunity to make others happy according to the lights given him and he never failed to take advantage of it whenever op- portunity offered. Essentially social in his nature he saw no reason why people should grumble and complain just because things did not run on to suit them every day.
 Gut out the grumbling; cheer up; we're here today; God only knows where we will be tomorrow was his philosophy.
 He found his pleasure in brightening up those of less optimistic mood and he dispensed charity without thought of reward here or hereafter. Notwith- standing his fondness for socia bility he never forgot his duty to his family and his home. Perhaps it is not too much to say that few couples have had a happier married life than Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Williams At all of the big fraternal reunions which he attended his wife was to be found

TO THE JURY
 WEDNESDAY
Would Be Slayers of Annie Moskil Will Soon Know
 Their Fate
A Few Days Before the At tempt at Murder ,Marock Wrote Endearing Love Letter to Annie No Evi-
 dence on Part of Accused.

Joseph Marock and BartOni LaSk1
 rho stand accused of robbing and att empting to murder Annie Moskil. will ln all probability know their fate by Wednesday evening of next week, for on that day unless something unfore- seen occurs the case will be given to the jury. The maximum penalty for the offenses charged, providing they are proved. Is 55 years in prison.
 Contrary to expectations the accused offered no defense whatsoever and af- ter Mrs. Sarah Nebenzahl of this city had testified to the value of the arti- cles of wearing apparel stolen from the Moskil woman, the defense an- nounced that it rested.
 Marock. the bigamous husband of Annie Moslxil, wept during the after noon. It was the first time he show ed any emotion since the trial and his weeping came soon after his law full wife had accused him, by indirec- ton. of perfidy.
 The State had it's case in splendid shape. Witnesses who knew Marock and Laski practically from the crad- e to the jail, were found and brought here Nowhere was there a slip up. Usually in eases of this character when so much depends upon the testi- mony of near neighbors when wit nesses are required, they have most convenient method for disappearing. Not so, however. in the case at bar. Sheriffs Hawley and Burr have aided the States attorney in fine fashion with the result ttat absolutely no evil dence whatsoever was offered by the counsel for the accused
 The most striking bit of testimony yesterday was the producing of let ters written by Maj Iock .o Miss Mos Xiii while she was in Worcester, and epistles purporting to be written by Marock's mother in the old country to her son and shown to Miss Moskil, that the marriage might be hurried, and her end be accomplished tie quicker.
 Yesterdays evidence tended to prove that Marock is bigamist, as his counsel admitted that Marock and Laski knew each other from child hood; that when Marock married Miss MoskiI in Hartford. Laski knew that Marock was bigamist. Other familiar with the Fairfield surround tngs, having worked there; that the paper upon which the letters alleged to have come from Marocks mother were written was American bond; that Warock had hidden the valise stolen from Miss Moskil in his home ir Indian Orchard; that the three were seen to get off the 6:12 p. m. train in Fairfield on the evening of Jan. 18th; and the damaging evidence that upon the persons of the two men were found the belongings of Miss Moskfl
 It was shortly after 5 o'clock when the testimony came to an end. Be- fore dismissing the jury, Judge H. n. Curtis cautioned them not to con- verse with anyone about the trial during the time of the intermission, which is, somewhat extended as the court will be out Tuesday, it being n holiday. Neither did the court want anybody to discuss the case with tho 5urymen, or have the jury read the accounts of the trial published in the newspapers

The Kaiser is the crna- ton of the same law that brought the Reichstag into being and to attack the principles that under lie the latter IS to attack the former"
 Franck pointed out what he termed the blessings of popular franchise as exemplified in America and declared that manhood suffrage must eventual ly come throughout the whole German Empire.
 '"The Prussian government in sup pressing public demonstrations in op- position to the Prussian franchise bill will provoke a revolution in which the Socialists will sweep away the Chan lar government. The Soc alists have begun the struggle and they are de- termined to carry 1t to successful concluSion."
 AS Franck finished pandemonium broke forth and it was several n1in- utes before the chairman could re- store order. Chancellor Von Beth mann Hollweg replied to Franck. As he arose he was cheered by the Con- servatives but the Socialists treated him with the disrespect that the Con- servatives showed to Fsranck.
 The Chancellor contended that the characterization of the franchise in regard to the government of the coun- try'' was injurious to the German peo- pie and should not be carried through.
 The Socialists met his opening words with cries of "shame;'' that's an in- suit to all the people who vote'; that's an onslaught on the German Empires constitution.
 Bethmann-H Hollweg patiently awaited a suosidence of the disorders and then continued:
 T have never expressed any inten- tion of aho,is'ling manhood suffrage for the Reichstag. I refuse to discuss the Prussian franchise in the Reich stag as that is not "a federal. but a state question. Hence it is Prussia's s own business. Neither the federal leg islature nor the Reichstag has any right to interfere in Prussia's own af- fairs"

Berlin, Feb. 19.-The Kaiser and Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg were excoriated today in an uproar- ious debate in the Reichstag by pr F'ranck, one of the leaders of the Socialist group, who introduced an interpolation of the Chancellor re- garding his remarks in recent de- bate that manhood suffrage was an evil.
 Franck attacked the Kaiser. Vice. President Shahan, who was preSId- ing, called him to order and said tha,t TO speaker would be allowed to drag the Kaiser's name into the debate.
 II will say what 1 like about the Emperor F'ranck retorted. Il will discuss him as freely as anyone else !"
 The Chamber was thrown immedi- ately into disorder by F'ranck's bold utterance. The Conservatives tried to shout down the speaker but the Socialists though outnumbered, cheer ed and applauded wildly.
 We have no cause to spring from mentioning the Kaiser as though he were a Divinity shouted Franck. Il favor respecting the Kaiser. The Reichstag must insist that the same respect is given the Kaiser and the law that creates him, as shall De given the Reichstag and the law that creates it"
 Today's debate was launched by the Socialists who demanded to know why the Chancellor, in 6 debate in the PrusSian Diet, denounced man. hood suffrage as an evil though 1t forms the basis of the German con- stitution and is the suffrage by which the members of the Reichstag are elected.
 Socialists declare the Chancellor's attack on manhood suffrage to be an attack on the constitution.
 When Franck began his address he began applying the same epithets to the Kaiser that the Chancellor re- gently applied to those fighting for manhood suffrage.
 When the German Empire was founded" said F'ranck, "The Emperor and the Reichstag were simultaneous creations, both in the same parts os the constitution and both entitled to
