SAY PENNA ROAD HAS 0NE-FOURTH
 OF N. H. STOCK
Director Says it Wishes to be on a Level With the New York
 Central

That the Pennsylvania railroad has direct interest in not less than fourth of the outstanding stock of the New Haven railroad. is the reported statement of an influential man in that company, that the Penna seeks the ap- pointment of two directors to the New Haven's board instead Of one and will get the desired representation and that the recent acquisition of New Haven stock was made to put the Pennsylva- mia on a level as to stock holdings and representation with the New York Central, were some of the sidelights thrown on this story by well inform ed railroad man today.
 One of the directors of the New Ia- ven company is authority for the state ment that the Pennsylvania's sole idea in buying up this stock was to put the company on a par with the Central. These two lines cover the New Haven and the business it can throw their way. The fact that it is operated in the big manufacturing section of the country makes the New Ravens bus Central and the American express, owned by the Central. with the Mutual Life, have been the three largest hold CTS of New Haven stock. The Central of course dominated the holdings of the express company and therefore has
 
 Haven board. The three Central di- rectors who are in the New Haven directorate include William w. Rocke- feller and J. Pierpont Morgan, who, in financial circles is said to regard the New Haven Company as his pet project.
 The report that T. Dewitt Cuyler, a director of the Pennsylvania, would be one of the two men to represent that company on the New Ravens board, was we'll received in railroad circles today. MT. Cuyler is we'll known in university circles in this city, being a graduate of Yale with the class of 1874, and he scarcely ever missed any of the university athletic events held in this city and the boat race at New London.
 MT. Cuyler would appear for the financial end of the Pennsylvania and it is the belief here that the other man would likely be one of the opera ing officials and by an officer of the New Haven, who sits close to the throne, the name of Samuel Req and Charles E. Pough, both vice presi- dents of the Pennsylvania, were men, toned today.
 While the books of the New Ha- ven company show the Pennsylvania to hold only about $6,000, 900 of the company's stock, it is generally be- lieyed by the railroad people that the Pennsylvania through other concerns has a very much larger ownership of New Haven securities While the Gen. tral holds, only so many shares in it's own name, it has voting control of the American Express shares and in the same way the Penna controls stock to the amount stated through other concerns.
 There are many reasons way the Pennsylvania should seek further in- sight in the New Havens affairs. One of the most important of these $ that the two lines will have physicnl con- nection when the New York connect ing railway is completed, but that the Penna now Or in the near future will dominate or control the New Haven is ridiculed by President Mellen.

 The child broke from the court of- ficers grasp and flung himself upon his mothers bosom, sobbfng as if his little heart would break. Still the mother showed no sympathy, and inn patiently she tore the embracing arms of her child from her neck and push ed him away.

 Mrs. Potts swept out of the court room paying no further heed to the cries of the little convict, refusing him even a farewell Hiss.

King Christians Odd Find.

King Christian of Denmark, while stopping at his hunting lodge in the forest chanced to see a queer white house on the road to Copenhagen, up- on inquiry he learned that the house had been built by some enterprising American physician and contained baths which were said to work won ders. 1t was like the King to do as he pleased. In this instance it pleased him to gratify his curiosity he visited the small white house and explored it thoroughly, then he took one of the wonder looking baths, so greatly was he delighted with the tath and it's effects that he took similar one repeatedly until his aches and pains were in fair way of losing themselves in the old forest Then he produced his fair daughter, Queen Alexandria of England to test the life giving Turkish baths, so my good reader be wise like King Chris tian and go to the Hotel Atlas Tur- kish Baths, Fairfield avenue, near Broad street, and lose your aches and pains at any hour for the Atlas baths are never closed.

VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION ASKS
 GREATER SUPPORT
Demand Upon the Resources of Organization Growing Faster
 Than its Means

The members of the Visiting Nurse Association are well pleased with the
 mass. meeting held at the City Hall a few weeks ago, because of the work which the members are doing for the sick poor of the city was brought for cibly to the public mind. The mem bersf of the association desire to ex- press their appreciation through the Farmer to Mayor Buckingham, who
 gave them the use of the City Hall chamber for the meeting. and desire also to thank those who responded to their appeals for aid.
 As the association becomes better
 known to the poorer people of the city
 that worthy class is already beginning to appreciate the efforts in their be- half. More cases of sickness are call- ed each day to the attention of the
 association. These added calls must
 be attended to-. thereby increasing the expenditures of the association. So far the proceeds have grown with the
 work accomplished, but the members know and realize that much more good can be done if the treasury is in a better way. The salary of a visiting nurse, medicines. care of the sick and needy, food and clothing are a source of drain on the finances.
 Especially at this time of the year is there more sickness prevalent, and more so in this city than in any other city of the State. The winter months are noted for their many cases of coughs and colds, but it is the spring days when weather conditions are so changeab1e that serious Sicknesses are most common. Each week the visit ing nurse, assisted by nurses who Oc- casionally give their spare time to the association, report new cases that need attention. At the most the visiting nurse does what she can in each case she is called in to attend but it is al- most an impossibility to give each case the time that it requires. It has been figured out that the visiting nurse makes about eight or nine visits a day, about an hour to each visit. It is for this reason that enough ground cannot be covered by one nurse that the as- sociation is especially desirous of add ing another nurse. Another nurse is an innpoSsibility unless the funds of the association are in such a way to maintain one.
 Miss Schoots of the Henry Street Settlement in New York who spoke at the mass meeting, told of the various ways in which the nurses are main tained by the people of the metropolis; that number of the charitable socie- ties pay the salary of a. nurse: then again clubs give musicals and thea tricals. in this way maintaining nurse for @ year or less. The Metro politan Life Insurance Go. in New York pays the salaries of seven nurses who are under the direction of the Wis., iting Nurses Association It is not impossible for a number of our social or charitable organizations in this way, or even some public spirited citizen, to provide for nurse for even a few months of the year at least It is a

Sons and Daughters of Old New Hampshire
 Prepare to Organize

"The New Hampshire Club of Bridgeport," is the name of a new social organization that was success fully started last night at an enthuis- astic meeting of natives of New Hampshire held at the home of pr. c. H. Sprague, 16S West Liberty street, when tentative organization pointed to report constitution and bylaws at a meeting to be held at the same place Thursday, June g.
 pr. c. H. Sprague was chosen chairman and Mrs. Sprague, secre- tary. The committee appointed to drew up a constitution and bylaws is composed of Mrs. w. B. Cogswell Stratford, Wilbur F. Burns, E. L.. French, Miss s. Belle Blackstone and John A. l.. Julian.
 The tone of the remarks of those participating in the discussion was to the effect that the club will be very democratic, the same as the people of that state are, that the member ship will not be limited to those &C., tually born there but will include those married to natives of the state and also those who have lived there a number of years and that probably two big meetings year will be held, one in the summer at some shore re- sort chiefly for the purpose of pro- noting bility among the mem dressed by prominent New Hamp- shire men or women. Sociability among people who still cherish a great love for the state of their birth will be the keynote of the organiza- ton, all bearing in mind that while New Hampshire is a small state it has produced some big men.

(By United Press Leased Wire
FRANKFORT ON MAIN, Ger
many, Feb. 1S.-More than zoo
persons injured in socialistic riots
last night are in hospitals here To-
day. In addition to these tie
police admit at least 200 were
injured. 1t is believed that twice
that number suffered from minor
cuts and bruises in the demon
stration against the passage of the
government suffrage bill.
The people of Frankfort and OF
Southern Germany are aroused by
the ruthless methods of the mill
tary in suppressing the socialisiic
demonstration and further disor-
ders are expected.
The socialists are demandirg z
the free right to hold street
meetings. The socialistic papers
are scoring the police and govern
ment and calling upon their breth-
rem to resist tyranny and oppres-
sion to the last effort
Responding to the call of their
newspapers, socialists and their
sympathizers have been arming
and preparing to re-
sist what they deem all invasion
of their rights. Among the weap-
ons used effectively against the
military are small bags of pepper
which are thrown in the faces of
soldiers and horses of the cavalry.
The bags break when they strike
and the victims are blinded by
the pepper.
