SENT UP
FOR FIVE YEARS
Emil Herman Cashed Worthless
Checks With Saloonkeepers-Tries
To Deny Criminal Record.

The utter futility of chronic crooks
trying to cope with the Bertillon sys-
tenn used by police departments
throughout the country was demon
strated In Judge Phelan's court, Tues
day morning, when Emil Herman.
convicted Of forgery. stood up to be
sentenced. After vain effort to
conceal his past record from the
court, he was sentenced to serve five
years In Jackson prison.
Judge Fhelan had copy of Herr
mans record in Milwaukee, sent on
from that city, where he Is wanted
for both forgery and burglary. He also
had a rogue's gallery picture of the
man. In spite of that conclusive evil
dence, the convicted man told the
court he had never been arrested in
Milwaukee.
There Is no use Of your trying to
conceal these matters, Herman"
said the court. "You are only making
matters worse for yourself. The
falsehood you are telling now will be
added to record already bad. Can't
you see that la the face of the police
system all over this country, 1t Is bet
ter for you to try to lead an honest
life? When you get out of prison, re-
member what l nave told you. You
will be AZ years old then, but that will
not be too late for you to make a
decent citizen Of yourself"
Herman cashed number Of checks
with German saloonkeepers in De-
troit. He ingratiated himself with
them by telling them stories of his
prowess as fisherman. He would
even present them with fish, which he
declared he had caught. 1t devel-
oped later that he purchased them on
the market. In this way he gained
the friendship of number OF liquor
dealers and was enabled to cash the
checks with them

HEALTH OFFICERS
 ANNUAL REPORT

Dr F. H. Lee, town health officer has submitted his annual report for the year ending August 31, 1910 from which the following facts of school interest are gleaned
 An epidemic of whooping cough oc- cured in July and August. Sixty. five cases have come to my notice. No effort was made to isolate cases, as the disease was pretty well scattered before it was discovered. The first case was brought from neighboring town. No cases of measles have occurred in the town during the past year. There have been nine cases of scarlet fever and five cases of typhoid fever. The cases of typhoid fever have not been confined to any particular locality, but in different parts of the town. Three cases of pulmonary tuberculosis have been reported, two of which were non-residents &e E
 When contagious diseases have broken out in the schools. the school rooms have been fumigated aud cleaned. Five com plaints of nuisances have been received and the nuisance sbated when it was found to exist. All school houses have been inspected by me and found to be in good order. - Necessary repairs and renovation have been attended to at school No. 1, East Canaan. and the school building at Ca naan Valley has been repainted and cleaned, and some grading done on the school-grounds. Other public buildings are in good sanitary condition. The
 water supply is from reservoir, wells and springs.
 During the month of August the res ervoir water has had the same disagree able odor and taste which was noticeds two years ago, when an analysis by the State Chemist showed it to be free from anything which would cause disease. Some wells have been examined and found to be unsafe for drinking purposes, and their use discontinued. The mi k supply is pretty generally satisfactory.

It has been suggested that the Borden milk company become public spirited and build couple of bath houses on their ice pond and let the public bathe there during the summer season under proper sanitary regulations. The party suggesting this says "There is no suita- ble place near here at present to bathe and with bath houses thus convenient of access, to those who furnish their own suits the Borden company would be con- ferring genuine favor on the public It would not be necessary to use the entire pond for that p1rpose, but an enclosure built out into it with flooring sunk say, from 3 to feet under the water, would make an ideal bathing spot and one that the public would appreciate" ]"
