HOUSING BAD | IN ELM CITY
Expert Veiller of New York Makes Inspection with Civic Federation and Finds Tenements Un-
 sanitary

New Haven, July 2.-For the past two days Lawrence VeilIer Of New
 York has been the guest of the tene- ment housing section of the New Ha- ven Civic Federation. MT. Veiller is secretary of the National Improved Housing association and came to New
 Haven on the invitation of this sec tion to look over the housing sltua- tion and give his advice of remedy to serious evils in the tenement houses
 of this city. MT. Veiller has been for
 the past twenty years associated with all the advanced movement for inn proved housing in the United States. The tenement housing section of the federation has been for six months and brought MT. Veiller to the city to
 submit to him their plans of improved
 housing conditions here.
 On Thursday MT. Veiller met the tenement housing section at the Civic Federation rooms and discussed the situation with them. He was then taken by the committee on a five hour tour about the city beginning
 with Fair and Wooster streets includ- ing all sections of the city where poor housing is abundant In a great many of the tenements the garbage is dumped in the ashes or allowed to accumulate in the corner of the courts with other waste, in other cases from the appearance of the garbage cans it showed that the collections were few and far between.
 MT. Veiller reserved his judgment on the conditions he had seen and facts he had heard until yesterday, when he met at luncheon at the Country club the members of the association, and leading citizens, in a conference on the housing conditions and related subjects. He first described the poor condition of the garbage, also the fact of dark rooms in the large brick tenement houses. He described the manner in which lots are built all over and in this way exclude the light and air from the buildings. He said this is all uncalled for in a city like New Haven, where there is plenty of room to build houses of any descrip- tion without these defects.
 From 1000 to 1,5O0 privy vaults he found to exist in spite of the sewer connection of the city.
 After making plain these points MT. Veiller spoke about better housing conditions that would favor the people in these sections. He said New Ha- of garbage; second, to organize for a long campaign for improved condi- tions in tenements.
 The tenement house section has pre- pared plan embracing MT. Veiller's suggestion in addition to those formu- lated by the section, hoping to re- suit in the early fall in the organiza- ton of the Improved Housing asso- citation, Inc, in the state of Connec- ticut, with capital of $50,000, at $10 a share.

authorities today abandoned the theory
that Mr.. Hawley Harvey Crippen. who
was born In Coldwater Mich, and
graduated from the University or

fed England with his typist, Ethel

The search for the American physi-

they are convinced Crippen and Miss
Leneve are still In hiding here.
II became known today that the pair

FIFTY YEAR Passionate
Rt. Rev. Charles Edward Cheney, D.
D. of the Episcopal Church
Has Record.
(Herald speciaI.,

Chicago, March 1.-THE fashion
able Christ Reformed Episcopal
church of this city has completed
elaborate preparations for tomorrow's
celebration to commemorate the COM
pletion of fifty years service of its
rector, Rt. Rev. Charles Edward
Cheney, D. D. The morning service
will include a historical sermon by
Bishop Cheney, while in the afternoon
there is to be an even more extended
service, at which there will be numer-
Gus speakers, prominent clergymen as
well as laymen taking part. The main
feature of the golden jubilee, how
ever, is the raising of great endow-
ment fund for Christ church.
Not only has Bishop Cheney been
for half century the occupant of the
same pulpit-a record equalled by
only one other Chicago divine-but
he has never occupied any other pull
pit as regular pastor. Nor has Christ
church since its foundation had any
other clergyman. Inquiry among
churchmen shows that probably this
record never has been duplicated in
the United States.
