 ST. VlNCENT'S

Dr. w. F. Verdi. the eminent sur geon of New Haven connected with the staff of St. Vincent's hospital, was the first to make use of the much mooted spinal anesthetic, stovaine, at that institution. Tn the unusual in terest centered upon recent stovaine operations, following the demonstra- tions of Dr. Jonnesco in New York and other large cities, the use of stovaine in the local institutions several years ago has been almost forgotten except by the physicians who participated in the opera lions.
 Dr. Verdi before select medical as- semblage performed the first stovaine operation in the spring of 1906. This was followed by several operations un- der the same. anesthetic performed by other surgeons. In each instance the operations were successful. Several days ago Dr. W. J. A.

Naugatuck, Jan. 21.-When the board of assessors made public the grand list of the town yesterday, it was found that parsonages and other church property not used for church purposes were listed.

A revaluation cOm- mittee consisting of local business men, which was appointed several months ago to make new estimates on local property, rated MT. Stevens property at $446S5, and when the off cial list was made public the assessors had raised this estimate to $49,2 The grand list now shows a total of $9,648. 579, an increase of $1,722,164 over the list of 1908.

SECOND NIGHT
PLEASES WE'LL

A well pleased audience filed out of
the Keylor Grand theater last night
after the second performance of THE
Belle of Richmond" by the Ann Phil
lips company AS on the opening night,
every member of the cast was pains
taking in his work, and did all that
could be expected. The cast is as well
balanced as any stock aggregation
that has ever appeared here, and if
the shows that follow are equal to the
opening bill the indefinite engage
ment of the company here will exceed
the Sc weeks stay in Everett. Good
plays are to be the rule, according to
Manager ST Peter, and the next bill,
"Divorcons," is too well known to
need further comment. 1t opens to-
morrow night.

~ that the union would soon recon-
mend all its members to do the same.
The officials of the bank refused to
state anything in this connection and
1t is probable that they do not really
know that the withdrawal of these few
mems accounts had any meaning.
The Northwestern Bridge company
is what is called an "open company"
for they hire any kind of labor, and as
the unions refuse to allow their men
to work with scabs, it is claimed they
hire nothing but scabs. They probably
have over thousand men in their en-
ploy, for they are large firm and are
doing work all over the country
In interviews with half a dozen car
penters of the city who are strong
union men, and also with several con-
tractors. all expressed themselves as
being incensed over the action of let.
ting the contract to "scab" men. One
carpenter in particular went so far as
to say that the Commercial club had
been preaching the doctrine of patro-
nizing home industry, and not one of
the local contractors had been given
a chance to bid on the building. w W.
Baker said this morning, however, that
the sub contracts, such as the plumb
ing. planning mill work, etc., We're open
to all local firms and were hidden in
on them. Mr.. Baker said also that all
local contractors had a chance at the
whole job.
1t is said that a laborer in asking
Foreman Stevenson for a job on the
building, inquired whether he would be
hred on account of not being union
man, and Foreman Stevenson replied
that he did not care whether he was
union man or not, and that if the
union tried to make any trouble for
him he would send to Portland for his
workmen, where he could get all the
men he wanted. He also stated, it is
claimed, that the union was not run
ming his business and that he would do
as he pleased in the hiring of his men,
and he would like to see any union
man interfere with his business
There have been many smaller jobs
undertaken by "scab" men, but this is
the largest job that has ever been un-
dertaken by non-union men, and CALI
ing, as it does, for the employment Of
so large a number of men, the situa
ton will be eagerly watched by union
labor all over this section

spring, and when recovering from this
attack he fell and injured one of his
hips. AS he failed to respond to
treatment, he was sent to the Soldiers
Home in Washington, where for sew
eral months he seemed to be improv
ing. The shock to his many friends
and acquaintance in this section was
a severe one, as the last word received
indicated an improvement in his con-
dition
Mr.. Casey enlisted in 1877, being as
igned to Troop M of the Fourth caval-
ry, in which he served as corporal
and sergeant in M and H troops until
discharged under the veteran act in
1890

paigns against the northern Chey-
ennes, Chief Victoria's, Nez Perces
and Gerenemos, being always a re-
liable and trust worthy soldier, with
an excellent record during his term
of service. Sergeant Fred Rocker
of the police force and Patrolman
Charles Andre were members of the
troop with Mr. Casey during the In
dian activities.
A wife, and three children, all resi-
dents of this city survive Mr.. Casey,

DiSinc0rbOrate
WditSburg School

Attendance at the Waitsburg Acad
envy having been rather low for the
past few years, causing the finances of
the institution to dwind,e down, and
no endowment fund in view, has caused
the board of regents to decide on dis
incorporating, and disseminating the
school.
At a special meeting of the board,
of which j. H. Morrow is president,
held March II, it was determined that
Che best thing to do would be to dis
incorporate the school, and the presi-
dent authorized to petition the sup
erior court of the county for permits
sion to do so. Accordingly a petition
was filed this morning by Mr.. Morrow,
and the date set for the hearing of
said petition is May %. The regents
allege that the school is entirely out
of debt and there is no reason why
they should not be allowed to disin-
corporate.
The passing of this institution means
the abandonment of one Of the old
educational institutions of the state,
and is to be regretted by all residents
of Waitsburg and the surrounding
country. The new high school at
Waitsburg, having been made most
efficient educational school, has drawn
many students from the academy.

carry the state at that time.
Another subject discussed i'm the
campaign was the high cost of living
The democratic orator charged the
Payne Aldrich tariff bin and the fail
ure of the republican party properly
to supervise the trusts, with respon-
sibility for the high cost of living. This
attack was met by Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, who delivered an address
at Brockton last Saturday night in
which he stated increases had occur
red principally in articles upon which
the duty had been lowered when the
tariff was revised last year. Mr.. Foss,
in replying to Senator Lodge, present
ed list of comparative food prices in
Montreal, st. John, n. b., and Boston,
which he used as an argument against
the allegation that the cost of provis
ions is due to a worldwide upward
prive movement.
Has Been Consistently Republican
The Fourteenth district has been the
most consistently republican district
in Massachusetts, having never before
elected democrat to congress. Con-
gresham Lowering carried the district
in 1908, by the enormous plurality of
1920 and it appeared at the time of
Congressman Coverings death last
winter, that a man under democratic
colors would have no hope whatever.
The remarkable shift of votes today is
difficult to analyze. The republican
/ leaders admit their party in the dis
trict was divided, partly by the failure
of Judge Robert O. Harris to win the
nomination in the primaries. Judge
Harris took no part in the campaign,
but many of his friends, with other
dissatisfied republicans, worked to de-
feat Mr.. Buchanan.
,, Mr.. Buchanan had also, to meet the
statement he was not a strong party
man, his opponents pointing to the
fact thct he was formerly secretary Of
Governor William L. Douglass, a DEM
ocrat. The Brockton man was further
handicapped by theory that Mr.. Foss
was as good a republican as himself,
and it is true Mr.. F'oss' prominence in
/ the republican party, prior to last
year. brought many supporters to his
standard.
Twenty-Five thousand ballots were
cast yesterday, or about four fifths
of the average vote in the three last
congressional elections.
Congressman lect Foss is a promi-
nent manufacturer banker and CAPT.
talist of Boston. He had been twice
defeated for congress in the Eleventh
district. He is brother of Congress
man Foss of illinois.
Mr. Buchanan is the publisher of

the final reconciliation by two young
