Following an investigation by In spector Lynch of the Health depart ment, Prosecuting Attorney A. l.. De- Laney has notified William H. Nica- ols, owner of the old landmark, ''The Barracks" in Brewster street, tha, he must clear that structure of its occupants within five days under pain of prosecution.
 Nichols building, long an eye sore to the wealthy resident of the Black Rock colony. was recently condemn- ed by the board of health. Lately two families, named O'Brien and Dyke. were found to be occupying 1t.
 Nichols claim to the health board was that the families had come there as squatters and that he had no part in their having taken possession. But the families in turn declared when the health authorities ordered them to move. that they had paid their rent to Nichols.
 This information was laid before Prosecutor Delaney with the result that he notified Nichols to have tha families remove. The Barrack is sn equipped that several families may occupy it.

 WOU. D HAVE HIM
 HEAD LABOR BUREAU

A determined movement was set on foot in Danbury yesterday to induce Governor-elect Simeon E.. Baldwin to appoint Patrick H. Connolly of Dan- bury, to the position of either com- missioner of bureau of labor statistics or factory inspector. In behalf of MT. Connolly's claim the points arc made that he is the secretary of ths Connecticut branch of the American Federation of Labor; that he is n member of the Democratic state cen- tral committee from the 24th sena- torial district; that he did very hard work for the Democratic party in the last campaign, and that he was one of the men to go on the stump and through his knowledge of the labor situation in this state, was able to place Judge Baldwin in a right light before the voters who had not under stood the significance of his legal utterances on labor matters which came before the judge while he was still on the supreme court bench.
 The position of commissioner of labor statistics is now filled by W. H. Scoville of East Haddam. and pays $2,500 per year. It runs for four years. and the present term of office expires on July l, next.
