HYDRAULIC GO. REFERS TO COMPARATIVE ABSENCE OF
 TYPHOID FEVER HERE
Says Such a Condition Indicates Purity in Local Water Supply
 Calls Attention to Report of State Board of Health.

The subjoined communication has been received by Tho Farmer from the publicity department of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co.,:
 A review of the report of the State Board of Health during the current year discloses some very interesting facts in connection with the experi- ences of the largest cities in the State with typhoid fever. and the position occupied by Bridgeport fs very grati- flying to the. officials of the Bridge port Hydraulic Company. The stand ard of tests of public water supplies throughout the country is based on the number of. typhoid deaths and where the percentage is low it is an indication of wholesome supply Of there have been but five deaths from typhoid fever from all causes in the city of Bridgeport. a record that will be equalled by very few cities in the country. Two of these cases occurred in June. one in September and two in Bridgeport,s good fortune in this di- rection is found in the State reports of the Board of Health for November and December. Tn November. Hart ford reported sixteen cases of typhoid, while tflirty-four were recorded against New Haven and not a single one was sent in from Bridgeport. During the month of December. Hart ford had seventeen eases, New Haven nine cases. while Bridgeport again es- capped with a clean record.
 Typhoid cases are watched very closely by officials of the Hydraulic Company by means of a chart estab- lished in 1902. This chart shows the number of cases each year and the number of deaths resulting from these cases as well as the percentage of cases based on the estimated popula- deaths in Bridgeport; 1903. eleven: 1904, fourteen; 1904. eight; 1906, nine; 1907, twelve; 1908, sixteen; 1909, nine: and the last year. only five.
 It can be seen from this record. cov- ering the past nine years. that Bridge port has been very free from typhoid fever and that it has been especially favored during the past two years. This record is in itself a vindication of the policy of the company. which has been to protect it's watershed in every possible manner and deliver wa ter as free as possible from any and all contagion. The theory of the off cials of the Water Company is in line with that of Professor Mason. an au- thority of international fame on wa ter-born diseases, and believes that pure water kept pure produces the best results. With this end in view the entire watershed of the Hydraulic Company Is patrolled through keepers and their assistants every week. and the good showing is one of the results of it's activity in this direction.

E.. Fl. DILLON & co.
BALLINCER HIT HARD IN THE
 SENATE TODAY
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington. Jan. 19-In speech that traced in detail every point of importance in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation. Fletcher Democrat, Fla.), a member of the committee, urged the adoption of the minority re- port conforming Ballinger. in the Sen ate, today. The Senator told about the questions involved, read the laws, explained the Cunningham claims and set forth briefly the official records of the main characters in the drama.
 Between vulgar graft and perfec- ton lies the standard of official con- duct the people have a right to ex. pect," said Fletcher. They do not require that an official shall be in- fallible. On the other hand, they are not satisfied to have him keep on the windy side of the law and pursue a course which is neglectful of and unfaithful to their interests to the point just inside the line of criminal guilt. Honesty, courage and ability are demanded in high official posi- tion."
 Fletcher charged that Ballinger had been "uncandid" in communications to the President and quoted testimony to sustain his charge.
 "Ballinger was also uncandld," he said, fin his letter to the President denying L. R. Glavis' statement that after his resignation as commissioner he acted as the legal representative of the Cunningham group and for large number of others interested in Alaska coal fields. He admitted on representative of the Cunningham group"
 Fletcher charged that Ballinger sought to procure the passage of a bill by Congress that would legalize the Cunningham-Gugge claims to Alaska coal lands worth $25. .000, 900. throughout the record" he contin- Ballinger, Lawyer Ballinger and Sec retary Ballinger were in full sympa- thy with the coal land claimants and desired that they should have their patents. If he had violated the law it was because the law was absurd and the violation ought not be regard ed. Nowhere does 1t appear that he sincerely wanted the law enforced. Nowhere is he shown to be safeguard ing the public interest. All along he seemed to feel it his duty to look out for private interests and to lose sight of the fact that the peoples property was at stake"
 1t was positively wicked, Fletcher said, for Ballinger, to send young lawyer, who was only a year out of college and had never tried a law suit, to the Pacific coast to defend the governments $25,000.00O interest in a hearing on the Cunningham claims"
 Fletcher declared Ballinger was eva sive and apparently afraid of the truth on the witness stand. He se- verely criticised Oscar Lawler, author of the famous "Lawler draft of Taft's letter exonerating Ballinger for taking part in the case bearing in his heart the malice he did," toward Glavis. The speech was most exhaustive review of the case-one of the longest of the session.

HORSETHIEF IS VICTIM OF TRAP
 G0RGAS MAKES

Richard Wakeman, aged 2S. of 537 Colorado avenue, was held in bail of $1,000 for trial in the February term of the Superior court when he plead ed guilty to the charge of horse theft before Justice s. A. Purdy of the Westport Town court, today. Wake mans capture by Special Policeman Clifford Gorgas, the motor cycle cop who has of late demonstrated his po- lice efficiency in several instances, terminated a spectacular tour of the country, following the theft of a horse from William T. Williams of Westport last August.
 Wakeman's father is employed in a Water street wholesale house. Gorgas working with the state police and To- cal authorities in tracing the man, watched the fathers place of employ ment, suspecting the young man, re- turned only Tuesday from Salt Lake City, would visit his parent. He rec ognized the man from a description and confronting him with the charge, secured from Wakeman an admission of his guilt. A reward of $200 has been offered for the mans arrest and conviction. Wakeman drove the horse into Northern New England, sold it, and is alleged to have committed other crimes since then by which he has made an easy living.

 'I believe the whole human race is wolfish," he added. History shows it. If a wolf is injured, the rest of the pack destroys it. If a man. whether Christian or a Japanese Socialist gets wider vision than the ordinary man, then society promptly destroys him.
