COMPLETING INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, PHYSICIANS
 FIND THREE NEW CASES
Fourth is Revealed When Package Boy Walks
 in From Street to Emergency Hospital.
Lad Has Two Little Brothers in Lincoln School Who Are Promptly Dismissed and
 Placed Under Quarantine.

Striking example of the possibility of the spread of scarlet fever was' afforded today when IA years old N ho has two brothers in Lincoln school and who is package boy for a retail store, walked into the emer- gency hospital to be examined. He as found to have a we'll developed case of scarlet fever, and was sent home under rigid quarantine.
 Three more new cases were un- earthed in the second examination of suspects dismissed from schools yes terday, and in each case the quaran- t1ne was enforced. The pupils were among the suspects sent home yes terday from Roger Sherman school. With pr. Ober, president of the board of health, in the board rooms prac- tically all day today, and Health Off, ficer Mcclellan, Inspectors Lynch and Knapp and about two dozen phy si- clans at work in all parts of the city, the investigation of school children throughout Bridgeport was continued today.
 All the schools have been inspect ed, and the work of the physicians now centerS about the second inVeStl- gstion of pupils who have been dis missed from school temporarily be- cause of symptoms indicating the presence of scarlet fever. Another feature calling for much work is the investigation of the ca ses of absentees from school who have been reported III with one disease or another. In such cases the physicians or other in- vestigators first learn whether medi- cal attendance has been had. If not the pupils are examined, to prevent the possible presence of scarlet fever without the knowledge of the victim or family.
 Young Haller's visit to the emer- gency hospital was probably the most sensational feature that has thus far developed in the scarlet fever epl- demic- Employed as package boy for a millinery store, he had been at work for several days with sore throat and a feverish condition of the skin. Today he left his employment about II, and walking into police head quarters asked where the board Of health rooms were. He himself sus. pected he had scarlet fever

JUDGE WHEELER
 DENIES MOTION

In the Superior court this morning Judge George w. Wheeler denied the motion of Attorney E. M. Lockwood that the verdict in the appeal from Probate court of Jennie James in the will of her aunt. Frances Emily Cox, be set aside. The jury brought in a verdict that the will be sustained One of Attorney I4ockwoods claims for the setting aside of the verdict was that Attorney Homer S. Cummings of Stamford, counsel for the defendants, had given a favorable opinion in a ewspaper interview of a very unpopu- lar verdict by tho same jury as in this case. The jurymen therefore were favorable to him.

charities building, he encountered pr. Krause, whom he recognized as tho ambulance surgeon. He asked that physician to examine him, and Dr. Krause took him into the operating room. The youngster barred his breast, and the doctor saw his skin was of reddish hue and scaly. He said he had been Suffering from sore throat, one of the symptoms of scar let fever, for several days DI. Krause summoned Dr. Mcclellan. the health officer, from his office on the floor above, and the two completed 3 n examination of the youth that left no doubt that he was suffering from scarlet fever in a we'll developed stage.
 Dr. Krause at once notified the Lincoln school of the fact that the lads two brothers were pupils there. Principal Zink sent the youngsters home, and soon the house was under the restrictions of the yellow card.
 In connection with the inspection of school children the physicians are disclosing numerous cases of other diseases and conditions that require surgical attention. Drs. ,F'leck and LaField made an examination of rearly 200 pupils in the Nichols street school. In their report to the health board, they declare that 50 per cent. of those they chanced to examine were suffering from throat affections of various forms, including adenoids enlarged tonsils and the like.
 Adenoids are held by physicians to be 8 very material detriment to the mental development of children, de- privfng them of proper fresh air by choking off the supply of fresh air, fmpairing the hearing and leaving the afflicted one more susceptible to colds and other throat disturbances.
 Dr. Ober, head of the board of health. said today he was not sur prised at the outcome of the medical inspection of school children. He be- ieved the condition were there, and only awaited the inspection to dis close them. That it was not further postponed, he believes, is fortunate in that the inspection should prevent the epidemic from sprea ding to any further alarming extent.
 School children alone, however, are not the only carriers of the disease. Dr. Ober points out the danger of domestics in various homes carrying the epidemic into the families where they are employed by visiting either families stricken with the disease or in tenements in which the disease may exist.

GUGGENHEIMS
 MAKE STATEMENT
THEIR MEN TELL SENATE COM nTTEE OF COAL HOLDINGS AND COPPER MINES OWNED BY SYNDICATE IN ALASKA.
tsDecial from United Press.)

tSDecfa1 rom United PreSS)
 washington, Feb. 1s.-Stung by re- cent charges as to the character and extent of their operations in Alaska, the Morgan-G -Guggenheim syndicate to- day made public their side of the case. John N. Steele, general counsel, and Stephen Birch, managing director of the syndicate. appeared before the Sen- ate committee on Territories and gave what Is, they said, a full and frank statement of the interests of J. F. Mor- gan & Company and the Guggenheim brothers in Alaska
 The statements of Steele and Birch were In substance as follows:
 ''All the money spent in the enor- nous development of the Alaskan re- sources has been furnished by the syndicate, not a bond or share of stock having been issued to the pulp lie
 'It has proceeded under the general laws applicable to Alaska and all it's property and assets except the rights of way. stations and the original grounds, have been purchased from the owners.
 '"The syndicate has not and has never had any interest in any coal lands in Alaska except the interest it obtained under an option given by what are known as the Cunningham coal claimants in July, 1907. At the time this option was given, Cunning ham and his associates had paid the government for their claims and had received from the government final re- ceivers' certificates. Under this state of facts Cunningham and his associ- ates had under the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States perfect legal rights to sell their claims. An examination was made for the syndicate by a coal expert who re- ported very larTe tracts of lands con- taining coal of high grade. In De- cember, 1907, the option was exercis- ed
 Nothing further was done under this option. because under it's provis- ions no money was to be paid until patents were issued to the claimants. The questions arose in the winter of 1908 regarding the title of the claim and the patents have not yet been is sued.
 ''The syndicate was formed in the spring of 1906 when it purchased 46 per cent. of the stock of the Northwestern Commercial Company which owned the entire capital stock of the Northwest ern Steamship Company and the Northwestern Fisheries Company. The latter company owned eight canneries In Alaska with a total production of 3,00e.000 cases of salmon. Thirty eight canneries. in which the syndi- cate has no interest, pack about D. oGo,O00 cases of salmon. The remain ing 54 per cent. of the stock of the Northwestern Commercial Company was widely spread among 175 stock holders
 'The syndicate has constructed about 102 miles of substantial. standard gauge road from Cordova in Alaska up the Copper river By the close of the season of 1910 the road will be fin- fshed to the Bonanza Mines making a total of about 199 miles. The road so far has cost over s1O,0O0,00 and it's

Barske of 478 Center street, made good his repeat threats to end his life, at his parents home last night. Draining to the last drop an ounce of carbolic acid he had poured into a glass, Barske rushed down from his room on the top floor to the second floor where his wife was sitting with his parents, took her in to his arms for a farewell embrace and fell to the floor writhing in agony. Within five minutes he was dead, life belus extinct DeIore the arrival of Dr. McQueeney of the ambulance corps.
 Barske was an unusually robust man, and through his employment for many firms as a driver, he was well known. He was married only last July, his wife being Derby, Conn.,. girl. His father is a driver for the Muller Co.,, provision dealers. He was the oldest of a large family.
 Acquaintances of young Barske de- clare he and his wife could not avoid quarrelling. Last night Mrs. Barske was hysterical and today she was pros trated with grief

A majority of our citizens are showing the right spirit in subscrlb- ing for Faulkner County Fair stock.
 Some people, of course, are not financially able to take stock. To such as these we have no argument tc make, but urge them to boost all they can with their talk. But to others of our citizens we want to again call your attention to the fact that every man who can must put his shoulder to the wheel and help to carry oul town and county on to prosperous future. Besides the good feeling which must come from the knowledge that you are helping your town and county, you will receive a substantial! financial reward. The pass which you get for each share is equivalent to an per cent dividend on your money What the association will make in cash dividends of course is matter which only the future can decide, but taking last year as basis, the total dividend would be 23 per cent.
 It is generally conceded that we will have better fair this year than last year. In fact, that is just why we are selling this additional stock. We are preparing for an increase in exhibits and a bigger crowd, in which case the earnings of the association will be far beyond that of last year.
 Rally round the flag! Show your colors Only $25.O0 per share. Don't wait for the other fellow. Do your part. When this stock sale is com pleted a full list of the stockholders will be published in the town and county papers.
