POLICEMAN WARNED
HAD FAILED TO OBTAIN MEDI- CAL TREATMENT FOR HIS
 SICK CHILD.

Winsted. Jan. 1O-Acting upon the Police Stephen c. Wheeler waited up- on James J. Sheldon, a member of the Winsted police force, and advised him to secure the immediate attendance of a physician for his daughter, Dona, Il years old, who for the past week has been i'll.
 Mr. Sheldon is a believer in Christ ian Science and his wife and chill fdren are members of the faith. When the little girl took sick On the evening of December 31, no course for cure was adopted other than that usually adopted by the members of the. Christ ian Science Church. and the father did not at that time know what the ail- ment of his daughter might be. Her condition became such. however. that MT. Sheldon summoned Dr. w s. RIch- ards on Friday, to ascertain the exact nature of his daughters illness. The doctor at once saw that the child was afflicted with diphtheria, but after learning that the family were members of the Christian Science Church, re- fused further to be interested in the case, than to notify Chief Wheeler, who is also the borough's health off, cer. That official promptly put the Sheldon Homestead under quarantine, and reported the case to the coroner. Mr. Sheldon was advised that if h s child should die without medical atten- tion, he would lay himself liable to criminal prosecution for neglect.
 MT. Sheldon declared his intention of seeking medical aid for hiss child, and for that purpose was allowed to leave the house of quarantine. His oldest child, Willard, aged 16, was also per- mitted to leave the house in order to of ichh the quarantine can be removed. The Christian Science treatments given the child were administered by Mrs. Mary B. Woodwork

TAFT'S SUPPORTERS WAIT WITH MUCH ANXIETY FOR
 STATEMENT OF PINCHOT

ground that the Taft letter to Secre- tary Ballinger last September had clos ed all avenues of official remedy for the situation and that it was neces- sary to appeal from the administration to the people. He will explain. it is said. that he knew nothing of the ac- tivity of his subordinates, Price and Shaw, until they had made their re- ports to him last week, but that he approved of their action because of the danger that land grabbers would get hold of the peoples riches.
 That Pinchot is sure of his position
 is confidently asserted by his friends and stories to the effect that the re- moved official and Theodore Roosevelt have been in communication since Roosevelt went to Africa are not de- nied. O. w. Price and A. c. Shaw, two officials whose heads fell into the administration basket when Pin chot was decapitated, were at Pin chots home the greater part of the day and went over with hlm various ar guments that are the basis for the coming statement from the ex-forest- CT.

Where Employes Injured While, al Work May Obtain Prompt
 Treatment.
DeVer H. Warner Explains Project Which Will Likewise Include Medical Attention for Injured Hands at Their Homes If Desired Trained Nurse to be Permanently Stationed at Workshop

When all of the improvements and additions to the big corset manufac- turing pant of the Warner Bros. Go., are completed and it's 4.O00 hands are provided with ample room to work un- der sanitary conditions the concern will maintain an emergency hospital serivce that will be the first of i.s kind to be established in this city and will probably be the most elaborate institution of it's kind in the state.
 The main hospital will be located in the executive building of the company and is now being installed. Distri- buted through the factory there will be four auxiliary hospital rooms. Each will be fitted up with medical and sur- gical appliances necessary. Wheel chair ambulance service will be main tained for the prompt removal to the hospitals of any employee injured or taken sick while at their work
 Miss Lizzie F. Lewis, of Stratford, surgical nurse of much experience will be in charge of the hospitals and will be in attendance constantly while the factory is in operation. The fac- tory surgeon and doctor who will be

constantly on call will be Dr. W. ". Gray.
 There will be no charge made to the patients for any medical or surgical treatment It is going to be the policy of the concern to- give medical aid to all of its employees whether, injured or taken i'll in the factory or outside.
 DeVer H. Warner, treasurer of the company asked by a Farmer reporter about the hospital service this morn ing said, "We intend to take care of our own people. Of course it is our duty to do so if they are injured in the plant. But if they are hurt or talk en sick outside of the plant and want the services of our physician they are to be entitled to it without charge. When you get 4,000 people together swe will have it will be quite neces- sary that we have a way of taking care of those who have ills or who are hurt.
 ''One hospital might suffice but con siderable time would be taken In get ting an injured person through the plant and better service can be given by having the hospital rooms located in various parts of the plant"

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Startling evidence .aat will result in general raid trough the levee district is expected to develop today during the inquest over the body of Nathaniel Ford Moore, son of James Hobart Moore, railroad magnate and capitalists who was found dead in bed at "Vice Shaw's'' resort Sunday night.
 Despite the fact that there were no marks of violence found on the body the entire police force is today in- Yestigating the death of the young man who was known as a spender in both New York and Chicago. Mrs. Moore, who was formerly Miss Helen Fargo, member of a we'll known and wealthy New York family is today under the care of physicians. When told of her husbands death she swooned and remained unconscious for five hours
 The body of young Moore was dis covered by an inmate of the Shaw woman's house about four hours aft CT he arrived there early Sunday morning. Every effort is being made to suppress the details of his death but as nearly as ca.h be ascertained, it was a supper that cost Moore a handsome sum. @
 Heart disease is believed to have been the cause of death. The body was found by young woman when she went to Moore's room to awaken him late in the afternoon. She was unable to arouse him and later inves- tigation showed that he was dead.
 The police Identified the body by let ters and cards found in the pockets. An undertaken was called and the body taken to Moore's home on Lake Shore Drive. The following entry was made on the accident book in the 22d street police station:
 .sNat Moore 26 years old, 11O4 Lake Shore Drive. a capitalist, was found dead in bed at D. rn., Sunday, in a house, at 2014 Dearborn street. He died suddenly. The body was con- yeyed to his late home by private am- buljance.''
 No other details appear in the police record of the case and the detectives were reluctant to discuss Moore's death. While his Lake Shore Drive home was being finished Moore and his wife lived at the La Sale Hotel here, occupying an expensive suite. "He left every day at o'clock and be- 1ieve he went to work said one of the attaches of the hotel.

SUGAR TRUST CHECKERS TO
 PENITENTIARY
Judge Martin Sends Four of Them to Blackwell's S. Is-
 land for One Year
Spitzer, Also Convicted of
 Defrauding Government, Will Be Sentenced Feb. 1.
Especial from United Press.) )


 New York, Jan. 1o.-In the United States court today Judge Martin sen- fenced Thomas Kehoe, Patrick J. Hen- nessey, John R. Boyle and Edward A. Coyle, former checkers on the Will liamsburg docks of the sugar trust, who were convicted of manipulating springs in the scales whereby false weights of imports of sugar were re- corded and the government defrauded out of duties, to one year in the Blackwell's Island penittentiary. Oliver Spitzer, convicted with the above four, and who was declared by the prosecution to have been the head and front of the conspiracy through his position as dock superintendent, will be sentenced on February 1. He is now in the hospital recovering from surgical operation performed yes terday.
 scored the prisoners for failing to take advantage Of his hint that if they made a full breast of the matter he would have been lenient with them. He stated that if they had confessed he would have suspended sentence but that in fact since they challenged the truth by sticking to their original stories although the evidence conclu- sively proved their guilt, there was nothirs~ for him to do but to impose the jail sentences. It is expected the case will be appealed.
 In appealing for clemency for the men Former Senator Clarence Lexow, their counsel, bitterly assailed Spec al Prosecutor W. l.. Stimson. He told the court that since the men were convicted Stimson has been giving out interviews threatening the men with the limit of the law and doing every thing possible to intimidate them. Lex ow insisted that the court should take under consideration the recommends ton of the jury for mercy. He in- sisted that he has talked with mem bers of the jury and that they each recommended mercy in returning their verdict.
 Tn his own defense, Stimson declar- ed that he thought he had been very lenient in indicting the checkers for conspiracy when he could have indict- ed them for specific crimes and thus made the combined penalty much high CT than under the conspiracy charge. In answering Lexow and imposing sentence, Judge Martin said: s'The present attitude of these de- fendants forces me to sentence them as evil-doers. Not because they de- clined to give evidence against others am I taking this step, but because they challenged the court.
 'sThe jury recommended mercy but it's verdict was general. Still in view of that recommendation and the fact that these men are laborers, some with children at home and others with az ed parents to support I will sentence them to one year in the city peni- tentiary."

PRAISE FOR OUR
 FIRE FIGHTERS
BIRDSEY- co. GRATEFUL FOR SPLENDID WORK WHICH
 SAVED BIG FACTORY.
Bremen Literally Consumed the Smoke and Thanks to Their Valiant Efforts 700 Hands Are at Work Today.

Spontaneous combustion started a fire before daybreak yesterday morn ing in the corset factory of the Birds eye, Somers Co.,, at Noble avenue and Burroughs street. When the fire de- partment arrived smoke poured from every window of the big three story factory and the flames swept the en- tire length of the basement where the fire had started. The indications were taht the factory was doomed.
 This morning the 700 hands employ ed by the concern were at work and the busy plant which is crowded with orders was running at full blast. Up- per floors were left unscathed by fire and except for the smell of smoke no one would have known there was "a fire.
 At the office of the company this morning the management announced, President Thomas F.. Somers of the company wishes to announce that the company cannot speak too highly of Fire Chief Mooney and the members of the fire department. A glimpse at the charred timbers and bu ned stock in the basement attests that valiant work was done. The work of the chief and his men means that 700 peo- pie are at work this morning, it means J to the company and big loss to Bridgeport for if the plant had been destroyed or even crippled it would have meant loss to Bridgeport as the orders now held by the company would have been filled by other concerns"
 Isaac W. Birdseye who was one Of the leading factors in opposing the in crease in the pay of the freTnen is still interested in the corset factory in large way financially but he no longer holds controlling interest or is connected win the active manage rnent of the concern.
 The loss to the building was about $6.00O. The fire was discovered by Watchman George Squires while on from the company's private box. Chief Mooney on arriving sent in a second a, arm as he foresaw that all of the help possible was needed.
 Under his direction the hose and chemical companies went to- the fire through the basement windows and stopped the flames before they could get into the upper floors. It was close range fighting all through and Chief Mooney was much pleased with the despatch in which the fire was ex- tinguished.
 The chief had all of the windows on the upper floors opened by the truck companies and many InouSanuS oi dollars were saved by letting the smoke out of the building.
 Among: the stock destroyed in the cellar was the exhibit and fixtures which won the prize at the St. Louis exposition.
 The companies which responded to the alarms were Engines 1, 2, 5, 6. and 8. Chemical engine No. l. and Truck Companies No. 2 and 3.

The fire started in the kitchen on the ground floor. Then sentry on duty discovered the fire and ordered the two cadet buglers to sound the alarm. Col onel S.. E. Jones, superintendent of the school, Major Davis and Captain Frazer were on the scene with the first alarm and quickly assumed com mand of the boys. As quickly as pos sible the future warriors were hurried out on the parade grounds and from taken to Baird hall, preparatory school where all were cared for.
 While the boys were getting out the flames spread through the big wooden structure so rapidly that the feeble eff forts of the school fire department, composed of servants, failed utterly to check the flames and the structure was destroyed.

According to advices from Wash ington which were received by the Farmer today, Postmaster William H. Marigold will be re-appointed for an- other term. On Saturday afternoon Congressman E. J. Hill sent to the post office department his recom- mendation to this effect and there is little doubt but that action to con- firm the recommendation will follow. This present term of Postmaster Mar igold expires on. Feb. 5.

to show that there could be no susplc- ion of anything but a natural death.
 Reports that spread throughout the levee district today caused States At torney Wayman to institute an inves- tigation of Moore's death. He sent detectives into that district to look in- to all the circumstances surrounding the mans death,
 One of the first things learned by Waymans detectives. it is said, was that Moore was accompanied to the Shaw woman's house by another man said to be prominent socially. Enorts are being. made to locate this man Wayman and the police also learned that Moore, who usually carried large sume of money in his clothes, had only 2.50 when found dead. They are en- deavoring to learn where Moore's money went.
 New York, Jan. 10.-When Nath- aniel Ford Moore left New York in November and announced that he was going to fit himself to aid his father and his uncle, Judge William H. Moore, in the management of their vast railroad interests, men and wom- en who had watched his interesting career in New York, began. to renew their interest in the young fellow. Moore said he was going to start al the bootom and work his way up. Young Moore was one of the most picturesque spenders of the Gay White Way. Nothing was too good foI Moore and his friends and when he was giving his suppers at the all night restaura nts, he never had to seek friends.
 His marriage to Miss Helen Fargo daughter of William Congdell Fargo of New York, followed 8 romantic automobile courtship. The young couple met while Moore was on an auto trip to Hot Springs, Va. He at once arranged motor trip through Europe with Miss Fargo who was chaperoned by her aunt. On their return to New York they were mar ried Nov. 9, 1905. In February, 1907, Moore gave dinner, the like Sof which has seldom been equalled. Ii was given to 8 select gathering al Rectors and the total cost was $20,- coo. Gold necklaces, set with pearls that cost s1,000 were the favors for the women and diamond studded cuff buttons were the favors for the men Most of the women were actresses The dinner started at II o'clock al night and ended at the next morn ing, when all the diners went to ChurchilIs for coffee and liquors.
 Moore was but 22 years old at the time. He was said to have been giv- en $750,000 by his father when t.he attained his majority. When Moore tired of sduandering his fortune along Broadway he announced thai he was going to hustle freight in Chicago, starting at $40 a month. His first job was loading freight cars.

In fact it has been said that Postmaster Marigold would seek shrievalty honors himself.
 The latest turn in affairs would in dicate that Postmaster Marigold is to keep his hands off as far as oppos- ing the renomination of Sheriff flaw ley.
 The Farmers advices also indicate that Congressman 41lll has conferred with the treasury department regard ing the reappointment of Fred Enos as collector of customs for the port of Bridgeport, and has received as- surances that Mir. Enos would receive another term.
