MAY LOSE HERITAGE. Cripple Gets Property By Court De- cree Only to Face $1,OOO Back Taxes Yale Planned to Pay.

New Haven, Aug. 22-Representing George Hancock, a cripple living in Chicago, Attorney George Crawford appeared before the special tax com mission last night to ask that the taxes which have accumulated on the property at 81 Howe street for over ten years be abated. The case has a number of unusual features, and in- wolves an alleged agreement with Yale university, as the result of which the taxes were allowed to run for year after year. The university told Mrs. Emma Lee, the former owner, to let the taxes go, thinking that the prop erty would come to them at her death A decision of the court that Yale had no claim on the property, completely nuilified the agreement and when the property went to Hancock it brought with it the bills for these tax ar rearS.
 The back taxes amount to about q 900 and as there is a big mortgage on the property and the legal fight by which Hancock gained the prop erty from Yale cost a considerable amount of money, if the city forces the complete payment he will get lit- tie or nothing. Attorney Crawford stated that the man is a cripple and unable to work and that he is deserv- ing of aid from the city. The prop erty in question was originally left by Amos C.. Beman, of this city, and it was over the interpretation of his will that the fight occurred between Han cock and Yale.

New Haven Road Will Wage War
 On The Tramps

Claiming that the activity of the au-
 thorities in Massachusetts is driving
 mendicants and tramps by the hun-
 dreds into this State, officials of stfle
 New Haven road intend to take up
 with Chief Egan of the State police plan to make it so unpleasant for tramps, particularly those who ride freight trains, that they will have to move further than Connecticut to se- cure a haven. A real war against train riders has been started by off, cers of the New Haven road at the order of General Manager Higgins, and the general managers instructions will be carried out by the special agents department
 In Massa chusetts there was recently appointed to the district police of that State man named M. J. Barrett whose only work fs to look after men, dicants and tramps. He is said to be cooperating with the detectives of the New Haven road in the Bay State in cleaning up gangs of tramps who in fest railroad property and steal rides on trains and in the last week or ten days MT. Barrett, aided by the rail- road cops, has cleaned up large patches of train riders One crowd taken at Springfield, for instance, a few days ago numbered 26 and every one of them was sent to the Spring IlefQ JdH.
 The State police officers and the railroad sleuths are making it hot for tramps and this coupled with the fact that fall is coming has driven the knights of the road into this State on their way to warmer climes. They are not anxious to start south quite so early, however, and have been pes tering the police in all of the small upstate towns and practically all 1t, road people are interested because many of the station burglaries and thefts of railroad property committed recently are attributed to these wan derers.
 It is said that the road will ask Chief Egan of the State police to as- sign one of his men to special tramp work and with the help of such an officer the railroad people believe they could rid the State of tramps who not only bother railrcaders but everybody else.

Night Dive Off
 Tom|inS0n Bridge Unknown Man Leaps to Death in HarbOr After Discarding All His
 Clothes

New Haven, Aug 22-stripping off every bit of clothing an unknown man dived off the Tomlinson bridge at Belle dock, this morning, shortly after mid- night, and was carried away by the tide and probably drowned before men who heard his cries of help could come to his assistance. H. J. Ken ney of the Belle dock freight house was the first to hear the mans cries, but before he could launch a boat he had lost sight of the mans glistening white body and after a faint disap- bearing cry lost track of him alto gether. There was nothing in the mans clothing, which was found com plete on the bridge fender, to throw any light on his identity.
 The circumstances of the case point to deliberate suicide, as it is hardly thought that any man would have thought of going swimming at such a place and at such an hour The only clue to the mans identity was given by saloonkeeper, whose name was said last night to be Carl Gerkin, who claims that he saw a young man wearing the hat that was found on the bridge in his saloon that night. He didn't know his name or identity.
 Kenney was sitting in the office of the freight house when he heard the cry: Help! Help! Help!" He rushed out or the OOOT anO cOu1d see the naked body of g man in the water At that time he seemed to be swimming along all right but was being carried out by the tide.
 Hold on a minute,'' Kenney called out and dashed down for a boat Sev- eral others had heard the cries and they pushed out to the mans assist ance. A life boat was also being low cred from the Richard Peck which was lying at Belle dock preparatory to it's night trip to New York. For a time the swimmer was visible and his cries could be heard, but he was carried out of sight and suddenly his cries ceased as though he had gone under
 The passengers on the Richard Peck were startled by the mans cries com ing right under the stern of the ship. There were quite few persons in the neighborhood at the time of the mans jump. Gs.gf

ENGINEERS CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT
 THEIR DISCHARGE
New Haven Road Does Not Fear Action by Railroad
 Men, It Declares

New. Haven, Aug. 22.-That the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company is not worrying over what action the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers might take in regard to the discharge of thirty-nine of it's members since the wreck of the Federal Express train at Bridgeport, some weeks ago, for it feels sure that the men can do nothing, is the infor- nation that came from an official of the company who is familiar with all the facts in the case. He de clared that the coming to New Ha- ven of w. s. Stone, head of the na- tional organization, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. will not both CT the road in the least, for. accord ing to this man, There isn't an or ganization of any kind that can do anything in such a case. When an engineer is discharged for running past a signal, that ends it. Neither the Brotherhood nor anything else can do anything that will cause the company any uneasineSs.
 On the New Haven road there s in vogue what is called the Brown de- merit system. Trainmen are not dis charged nor suspended until they have received one hundred demerits, and forty-ff is the greatest number that can be given at any one time. Of course if man is guilty of fla grant vialation of a rule, such as the running past of signal, endangering the lives of patrons of the road he is discharged immediately, but for or dinary infractions of rules he is mere ly charged with demerits, the num- Der depending upon the circumstan- ces. On other roads. the New York Central for one, men are suspended for infractions of rules, the number of days off depending upon the cir cumStanceS.
 The Brown denerit system hasn't been given great deal of cOnsidera- ton during the recent discharge of engineers, conductors, brakemen and f1agmen. Those who have been judg- ed guilty of offenses which formerly brought forth demerits were discharg- ed Summarily.

In spite of the fact that state sana-

have been established in 81 states, and

20 states. vastly more public provision
is needed to stamp out consumption,
says the National Association for the
study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Nearly every state east of the Missis-
sippi river has provided a state sana-
forum, and west Of the Mississippi
river. state sanatOria have been es.
tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,

Apart from these institutions, how

total of hardly 200, the institutional

CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND
Novel Method Employed to illuminate
Sacred Edifice Near Birming-
ham, England.

Possibly one of the most novel
methods of providing lighting for a
church is that employed at the old
Cosely church, situated a few miles
cut from birmingham, England.
About 600 feet from the church is
the mouth of a disused cCa mine,
around which are huge piles of tail
ings. Upon one of these a steel tower
SO feet nigh is erected and a windmill
IS feet in diameter installed. AT the
base of the tower in a small house is
IN electric generator which is run by
he mill. The current thus generated
leeds q lamps in the church, two in

and also lights 80 lamps in the rec
tory. A storage battery in the rectory
IS a part of this unique lighting plant.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an infamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered ever in
his eyes,, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
q very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until l commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and l had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.

edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would

CARROTS GOOD FOR SYSTEM
H%eaIthfuI Vegetable Can 30 Served
in a Number of Most Deli
cate Dishes.

The humble carrot has an especial,
time, and despite its strong taste 1t
may be made into the most delicate
dishes. Winter carrots are slightly
boiled in three different waters to
remove this rankness, but the new
spring sort is dainty enough to re-
luire one water only. Spring carrots.
which begin to appear in March, are
delicious when boiled plainly and
served with maitre d'hotel-clarified
butter sauce. A dust of finely chop
ped fresh parsley on top gives them
a new %piquancy to those who tire of
the carrot taste. Carrots served with
cream are first boiled in plain water,
and then drained and warmed anew
in the sauce that has been preparing.
To make this sauce dilute a little Of
the boiled water with two-thirds
cream and thicken slightly with corn
starch: season with black pepper and
salt and add a tablespoonful of but
ter. Carrot f~ritters are made with
the cold boiled vegetable mashed up
and mixed with bread crumbs and
egg; enough cream to make a thick.
ish batter is used and the fritters are
fried in boiling oil. Oyster plant and
p%arsnips are also delicious when serv-
ed in fritter form, the various in
gradients used giving the vegetables
a most delicate taste.
