in 100000 will produce alarming symptoms; and that more than 60 parts will cause death. Among work men who make use of bleaching pow der, the occurrence of bronchitis, asthma, and carries of the teeth is mo- ticebly frequently"
 By the testimony of this distin- guished authority it is stated that one part of chlorine diluted with 2,500 parts of air will produce alarm ing symptoms in those who inhale it, and that one part of this deadly gas in about 1,1O0 parts of air will cause death.
 From the above testimony of a real expert it is seen how very dele- terious this substance is to human health when inhaled into the lungs in very minute quantities. Taken in- to the stomach it would be equally injurious. No matter what interest. ed "experts" say to the contrary, chlorine is known to be san irritant of great virulence. The presence of any amount of it in drinking water is deleterious to the health of those who imbibe such water.
 S In my Judgment the water sup piled to the city by the Western New York Water Company was wholly un- fit for domestic use before they be- gan to dope" it, and it is more un- fit at the present time than it was before they began to treat it to dope" q. :. .e.-.. ..

BUCKINGHAM WILL
 APPEAL FROM TAYLOR.
 TO WAR DEPARTMENT
Asks Congressman Hill to Assist in Procuring Ruling that Dredging Under Bridges Shall Be Done In
 Night Season
Looks As If Stratford Avenue Bridge Will Remain
 Open During Many Days of Holiday Season

Mayor E. T. Buckingham decided today to invoke the assistance of Con- gressman E. J. Hill to prevent the city being cut in two by the enforced opening of the Stratford avenue bridge to facilitate dredging operations in the day season.
 With Mayor Buckingham to decide is to act. and at noon today he called Congressman Hills home in Norwalk by telephone. But Congressman Hill was not at home. The Mayor hopes to reach MT. Hill during the after noon.
 The Mayors action was precipitated bNs notice given to Director M. A. Kenny of the Public Works Depart ment, bN Captain John Smith. to the effect that the Stratford avenue bridge o'clock and remain open until 6 o'clock in the evening. and during the same hours daily thereafter until work upon the channel is completed, excepting for the short intervals prescribed by ordinance and sanctioned by the War Department for the closing of the bridge Under this ordinance it will be possible to cross the bridge between 6:45 and a. m.; between F and 12:l5 at noon; 12:45 to p. m., and p. m. to 6:15
 Thus some 50.000 people will be daily inconvenienced and the merchants will be crippled in their holiday trade.
 Major Harry Taylor. who is in charge of the harbors in this vicinity. has been appealed to and declines to interfere. He alleges that the contract with the dredging company is not so made that the dredging must be done at periods when foot travel will not be inconvenienced by the opening of the bridges.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-12-03

The dredging company has refused tO do the work at night unless the city will pay 1t the sum of $225 daily while the work continues.
 Mayor Buckingham believes that a ruling from the War Departm ent will great disturbance of the ordinary course of business during the holiday season, as will be caused by closing the Stratford avenue bridge to travel.
 He will therefore request Congress- man Hill to exert his influence at Washington to help the city.
 Director Kenny has advertised that the highway will be closed.
 Supt. c. H. Chapman of the Con- necticut Co. endeavored to prevail up- on Captain Smith this morning no: to have the draw opened until 2 o'clock in the morning. He told him of the large number of working peo- pie who pass over the bridge in the morning and who will be "docked'' pay for one hour or any fraction of an hour they are late in getting to their places of work.
 Beginning Tuesday morning resi- Milford desiring to reach the center of the city will ask for transfers at East Main street. They will be car ried up to Barnum avenue and trans ferred to the Barnum avenue line and be brought over the East Wash ington avenue bridge. Milford shop pers will undoubtedly go to New Ha- than travel in this roundabout way.
 Mayor Buckingham, besides invok- ing the aid of Congressman Hill, will lay the matter once more before Lieut.. Col. Taylor either today or Monday.

YETTA SHERMAN
 TESTFIES TO COBBLER'S CRIME
She Calmly Relates Detail of Dreadful Offenses with Which Joseph Endico Is Charged.

Testimony indicating that Joseph, Endlco, the cObbler, took many pre- cautions to hide the carnival of vice that 1t is alleged progressed in the mysterious back room of his little store, 1221 Pembroke street, was giv- en i'll the city court today by II years oid >Yetta Sherman, when the child hesitatingly repeated the story she had already told the police of Endi- cos conduct towards her. Endico's s defence will be presented in the city court on Monday. He was remanded in bail of $10,0O0.
 Mopping his perspiring brow, and watching keenly every move of the lawyers and witnesses, Endico utter ed not single word, not even to whisper to his counsel, John J. Culli- nan, as the states witnesses played their part in weaving meshes of evil dence that promise to entrap the prisoner-cobbler.
 Prosecutor Redden brought two charges against Endico. The first was that of an indecent assault, ,n Nov. 30, alleged to have taken place ond gave the date of Nov. 21, and al- leged the graver offence of having outraged the child.
 Mrs. Stella Gregory, 573 Shelton street, testified to having called se-- eral times at the cobbler's shop on CAAO W CiiiiIS OI I1tSI w cuHcSudy, Iuu- ing the door locked. William Tate, 1251 Pembroke street, an employe of the D. M. c. Co.,, testified to seeing the girl enter the cobbler's shop, bs- fore Mrs. Gregory arrived and found the door locked. Patrolman Keogh testified to finding the man half dressed, apparently as if he had just arisen, when after midnight he ar- rested the cobbler.
 Then Yetta Sherman told her story of the events taking place on both dates, and under cross examination did not falter. She said the cobbler had told her of how lonesome he was, when the last offence is alleged 10 have occurred, and she testified that he said he had not had her or any other girls there for long time.
 Yetta then volunteered the start ling information that another girl of the neighborhood had pleaded with her not to let the court know her same. This was not responsive to the question addressed to Yetta and she was not questioned further.
 The police, it is known, have the names of other girls said to have frequented the cobbler's estab blish- ment, but they do not deem it neces- sary to involve the girls in the trial of the shoemaker, relying upon the charges brought as a result of the Sherman girls story, to send the man to prison.

notion that the Kuroki band could tell where these things went. Once in while half 9 dozen of the band would appear on the streets of East Bridgeport, after midnight. That would be after they had performed the rather unusual task of working a night on the freight boats, getting a little cash for necessary supplies The gang marched through the night, duck fashion. following Kuroli, who would stalk ahead, changing his course night by night, but always tiement. On these nights the police always remarked that the ice boxes or tenement houses were robbed. But try as they might they were rarely able to catch any of the gang with enDpgn %us evidence to send them to jail, band was caught in the act of an alleged burglary. and after prelim- mary hearing in the city court was held for the Superior court.

SCRAMBLE FOR
 ALORICH SEAT
Deadlock in Legislature May Result in Democrat Succeeding Republican Senator.
(special from united Press,

Providence, R., l., Dec. 3-One month, to a day, from this date, the Rhode Island General Assembly will convene. on inauguration day, in grand committee, to ballot for a United States Senator as the successor of Honorable Nelson w. Aldrich, and as the time draws near, the present three-cornered contest seems to point more and more strongly to a dead lock in the legislature, or at least to a serious split in the ranks of the Republican party in the state, and a possible Democratic succession.
 The greatest uncertainty as to the outcome of the Senatorial fight pre- vails, today. Fitted against each other, in the contest, are two judges district, which includes Massachu- setts and Rhode Island, as we'll as certain other parts of New England. A third candidate is a millionaire cot ton manufacturers. Judge Colt, of the United States Circuit Court and Colonel Henry F. Lippitt are the two Republican candidates, while tile Democratic standard bearer is Judge Arthur l.. Brown, of the United States District Court.
 That each of the Republican can didates is in the fight to ''stick" is working hard for their respective nominees, while Judge Brown will unquestionably receive the unanimous endorsement of the straight Demo- cratic members of the General As sembly. The political complexion of that body has materially altered, as the result of the Democratic wave that swept over part of the country at the last election and in part by reason of the re-districting amend ment, which increased the number of members of the lower branches from 62 to 100. 'The total membership of both houses, which meet in grand committee to elect a Senator, is there fore, 138, now. The Republican ma jority, in grand committee, is but 36, column of 19 members on the Sena- torial question would elect Judge Brown, provided the 51 Democrats in both houses stood firm for him, as it is figured they will do.
 Judge Brown would then receive leaders of the Republican party at tempt to force the election of any candidate who is not generally well comed in the Republican fold-an1 there are many who declare that Colonel Lippitt occupies that position that, among the s7 Republican mem bers in the grand committee, there will be a score, who, not being pledg ed to any candidate. will be ready at the word, to bolt the party, rather than submit to the dictation of the leaders in voting for a candidate who is undesirable.
 This is the situation which Sena- tor Aldrich faces in his efforts 70 select his, own successor. He is not sure of his own constituency and. while he is believed to have paved the way to the succession of Colonel Lippitt by inducing Colonel Samuel P Colt to withdraw from the con test, in Judge Colt, the latter's broth CT, is found a candidate upon whom the friends of Colonel Colt seem to have generally united.

Great Britain Stirred As She Has Not Been for Yeas Over Pending Ap- peal to Country-Issue Is Shall Lords Survive?

London, Dec. 3.-That the House of Lords may weather the storm and remain in possession of its power to veto the radical legislation fosterad by the House of Commons, is coming to be the more general belief, today. Although the betting on the stock ex- change, today, was to l that the Liberal-Labor-Irish Alliance would be in the majority Tn the next House of Commons as a result of the pend- ing elections, the bets are not that the majority will be a big one.
 On the other hand, it is asserted in many circles that the Liberals, alone, will not have as many votes as the have a majority by themselves, but will be forced to call upon thcir Labor-Irish alliance for votes to pass any measure opposed by the Con- servatives.
 A victory by such a narrow mar gin for the Liberals does not indi- cate that King George will execute the anti-Lords' policy of the Liberals, led by Premier AsQuith and Cham cellor Lloyd George. The Liberals demand that, in the event of Lib- 'eral victory, King George shall create of Lords. to pass bill removing the last vestige of power from the Lords, and making the hereditary body merely 8 consultive institution. Such a bill cannot pass the House of Lords as at present constituted:
 has ever been made, it has been cur rent gossip that King George has promised Asquith, in the event of a Liberal victory, to appoint Liberal Peers to overthrow the House of Lords.
 It is believed, however. that, in the event the Liberals can only poll majority of votes by lining up with the Laborites and the Irish, the King will positively refuse to create the new Peers, he arguing that Conserva- tive members, even if insufficient to constitute a majority, are indicative of the popular distrust of the Radi- cal action proposed by the Liberals.
 Seventy constituencies will, today, elect parliamentary members. These constituencies are scattered all over England and Scotland.f It is believed that the result will have consider able influence over future polling as we'll as being an accurate barometer of the final outcome.
 Of the 70 constituencies being con- last parliament, 26 were Unionists and Laborites.
 The Unionists are, today, claiming that they will gain 30 additional seats in the forthcoming parliament, owing to the agreement of Leader A. I. Balfour to submit the tariff ques- tion to a referendum vote of the na- tion. A number of leading writers of the nation are sending communi- cations to 'The Times," in favor of the Unionists.
 The Liberals. however, are not dis couraged by Balfour's promise of a referendum They claim his pledge is indefinite, promising to submit principle, not bill, to the vote O. the people. Besides, several of the Unionist papers have repudiated the Ralfour agreement and Liberals are making greAt capital of this fact.
