REFORM FOR
 FATAL FOURTH
Society for Suppression of Unnecessary Noise Calls Upon Supt. Birmingham to Help-T Thousands Kill ed and Injured As Result of Undue Patriotism.

Superintendent Birmingham has been enlisted by the Society for the Sup preSsion of Unnecessary Noise, the organization seeking a safe, sane and conservative Glorious Fourth. Today the Superintendent received from Julia Barnard Rice, the president of the society, a communication re- ouesting his cooperation in the socie- tvs undertak king.
 '"The Fourth of July" said Super intendent Birmingham, 'has come to be not only the occasion of many ac- cidents, through the reckless use of firearms, but often a cloak for crime. It is not so long ago that Martin Kor- schinskie was shot down at his own doorstep by Alexander Herman under cover of the shooting that accom- panied the Fourth of July celebration in the West End.
 we apprehended Herman in Perth Amboy some days after the crime had been committed. Had it not been for the general shooting in progress throughout the city, the shots he fired could have been discharged without attracting general attention.
 '"Then too there are the dangers that attend the use of ball cartridges instead of the blanks generally em- ployed."
 Mrs. Rice sent Superintendent Birmingham statistics showing that from 1903 to 1907 in Fourth of July celebrations there had been 1,153 killed, and 21,52O injured. Of the latter SS were made totally blind.

FOUND GUILTY ON CHARGE
 OF FORGERY
Sealed Verdict Against Broker Cummings of
 Boston Today
Sentenced to Not More Than Eight or Less Than Five Years in Prison.
Especial from United Press )


 Boston, Feb. 3.-Charles $. Cum nings, the Boston broker, accused of uttering most of $1,1S5,OOO in forged notes, aided by John Lombard, former treasurer of South Birmingham, Mass, was today found guilty on two charges of larceny and uttering false notes, when a sealed verdict was opened in Judge Bonds Middlesex superior criminal court.
 Cummings was immediately sent enced to not more than eight or less than five years in states prison.
 Cummings was convicted on the larceny of $15,000 from the town of Birmingham by means of bogus note, and of passing the same upon the Washington Savings Institution of Lowell. The transactions were but two in a number of alleged similar cases where the accused had uttered notes said to have aggregated more than @ million dollars. The case has been under consideration for two days and the convicting of Cummings may be directly attributed to the evil dence of Lombard who declared that he acted under the alleged hypnotic influence of Cummings and was forced to accede to his demands. There was 10 attempt by the eX-treasurer to deny the truth of the charges of forg- ing the notes. The case was given to the jury yesterday at 3 D. m.

SENSATION IN
 MURDER TRIAL
Birth Certificate Presented In Court Today Shows Pretty Music Teacher Is 24 Years Old.
(SpeciaI from limited Press)

Special from United Press)
 Waterbury, Feb. 3.-The prosecution in the case of Sophia Kritchman the Union City music teacher, charged with the murder of her sweetheart, Bronsilaw Kulvinskas, today rested it's case with the examination of several residents of Naugatuck and the neigh borhood who testified they saw Sophia going toward the scene of the murder on the day Kulvinskas was killed.
 A. sensation was created in the court room when Hugh Hearn, town clerk of. Naugatuck, produced a copy of a birth certificate, stating that the de- fendant, who looks like mere school girl, was born in October 1885, mak- ing her 24 years old As much sym pathy had been aroused in her favor on account of her youthful appearance, her popularity with this evidence dropped several points.
 The first witnesses for the defense were Detective Thomas Doolittle and William Keegan of Waterbury who both identified the keys taken from Joe Mitchell, the alleged accomplice of Sophia and which they both swore un- lock the trunk from which the revol- yer that killed Kulvinskas was stolen.
 The defense will plead insanity.

HOOTERS IN PARIS
 SHOT TO DEATH
(Continued from Page 1.)

The last 24 hours have shown the highest improvement of general flood conditions since the Seine began to recede. A drop of two feet since yes terday, bringing the stage of the river at the Pont D'Austerlitz, to 21 feet and 10 inches, has restored a large portion of the flooded section. It is doubtful, if Paris, world famed for it's beauty, ever before presented such a dirty ap- pearance. Not only are the streets broken and filtered, but huge piles of flood refuse, foul and menacing to health are seen in many parts of the city.
 Some of the beautiful stone and marble buildings in the fashionable sections will have to be treated with sand-blasts before the marks of the flood can be effaced.
 Thousands of men, thrown out of employment by the flood, were put to work at street and sewer repairing.
 The improvement in the suburbs is not nearly so marked as in Paris, ow- ing to the fact that a large percent of the populati of the suburbs flock ed into Paris and has not yet returned. Arrangements are now being made to establish food depots in the suburbs so that the victims may return home without the danger of starvation.

SLICK ARTICLE GOT
 AWAY WITH GOODS
Especial from United Press

Norwalk, Feb. 3-The residents of Westport, a short distance from this place, seem to have been nicely "duped'' by a slick looking, smooth tongued gentleman who chose to call himself MT Martin, who came to town a few days ago, hired one of the finest horses in the place, belonging to Stan- ley Wells, and cut a great swell. He claimed to be the New York agent for a large automobile concern. The cli- max came when he rushed into the store of Beers Brothers and asked them to cash a check for $20 This they did but afterwards an investiga- tion followed and the New York bank to which the check was made out had never heard of MT. Martin. Further investigation disclosed the fact that the automobile concern had never heard of him either. He has skipped town with $20 to the good.

MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN
 MILL STRIKE RIOT
Several Shots Fired, Stones, Bricks and Other Missiles Thrown = Police Officers Knocked Down and Tram pied On.

Valley Falls, R. l., Feb. 2.-Women and children employed ill the Hilton Cotton Mills here were assalled with a shower of stones, bricks and other missiles when they attempted to enter the mill gates today, by gang of about 50 men and women who have been on strike about a week. As a result of the riot police were hurried to the scene. Two officers were knocked down and trampled upon while endeavoring to make arrests. Despite the fact that guns were dis played and several shots fired the po- lice succeeded in collaring only two of the rioters. Both were locked up.
 The strike has put about 70 per- sons out of employment and will soon affect about 200 more. It grew out of the discharge of six Polish weav CTS. The Polish weavers claimed that favoritism was being shown and that discharged men should be given back their jobs. This was the cause of the strike.

LONG FEAsTs.
One Chinese Dinner and a Couple of
 Eskimo Banquets.

One Chinese Dinner and a Couple of
 Eskimo Banquets.
 MT. Ward, the American envoy to Chins. who tried to secure an inter- view with the emperor, Hieng Flung, in 1859, tells how he was entertained at dinner that lasted from noon one day until o'clock on the evening of the day following. The total number of courses is not given, but Ward men, tions that he had to give in after par taking of 13S different dishes, "where- upon his hosts wondered greatly"-pre- sumably at his absten1iousness.
 Probably, however, the Eskimo ban quets last longer than any others and the quantity of food swallowed is also proportionately greater. Ross records that seven of his party of natives once ate continuously for thirty-three hours, during which time they consumed 200 pounds of seal meat. Europeans ex- posed to the same climatic conditions act in much the same way. Captain Scott of the, Discovery on his return from his long sledge journey over the inland ice of the antarctic continent did nothing but eat and sleep for the space of three days and nights, and even then he was still hungry.
 Commander Peary and his party, re- turning famished from their futile dash for the pole in 1906, slaughtered a herd of seven musk oxen on Hazen island, off the extreme north of Green land. Fer two days and nights there after they crouched inside their snow huts, eating continuously, and when they had finished the pile of bones outside was Gas high as tall mans chin.''

Cunningham's offense con- sisted in thrusting from the bar the glasses served to the customers of the place.
