Senator Garry Paddock, who plan ned to introduce a bill providing for local option on the Sunday observance law, stated today that he will not introduce such measure for the req son that a bill covering his wishes has already been introduced, through Ex-A1derman Cunningham of New Haven.
 that the matter of Sunday baseball, the opening of certain stores on Sun- day, etc, shall be decided by the Com mon councils, or local authorities of various towns.
 As the present statute concerning Sunday is and must be openly violat- ed, it is regarded as more or less of dead letter by Senator Paddock.

M'Guirk and Prosecutor DeLan- ey Made Additions to Termi- nOlOgy of lntOxicatiOn

James McGuirk, an advocate of the use of slang in colloquial English de- fined for Judge Richard H. Tyner of the New Haven City court, presiding in the Bridgeport tribunal today, the meaning of the term, "a cheap punch"
 Such 8 blow, according to McGuirk, is a cowardly attack from the rear. tHe came up in back of me and hit me in the neck. That's what l call cheap punch"
 McGuirk's remarks were anent a disturbance in Bostwick avenue, near State street, on Monday evening, Jan. g, as the Hatheway Mfg. Co.,, at Bost- wick and Railroad avenues, was dis charging it's toilers. His wife is a forewoman there. He was charged with striking his wife and with creat- ing breach of the peace.

 Well, wanted the lady to cook the grub. Everybody's got to eat," he added earnestly.
 McGuirk admitted showing his wife as he remonstrated with her and urged her to return home, promising to quit drinking. But another wom- an, with her, screamed, and .Superin- tendent Chris. Wyrtzen rushed in. He is only half McGuirk's stalwart size.
 "Oh, he just wanted to be hero, explained McGuirk disparaging the prowess of his wife's protector. "So he comes up in back of me and gives me a cheap punch"
 Judge Tyner fined McGuirk $15 and costs, which, he paid. He is a corset ironer. After court, a reconciliation was effected and MT. and Mrs. Mo Guirk now plan to resume their do mestic felicity at 306 Coleman street.

possible in many cases to find posi- tive evidence of f1eas upon the skin of
 domestic animals, either cats or dogs,
 living in the homes of the people af-
 fected. In quite a number of cases, it had been distinctly noticed by the
 parents of the child, that the child
 had been bitten by some insect. leav- ing red blotches on the skin, that ap- peared shortly before the appearance of the first symptoms of the disease. It is we'll known that feas are car ried in the hair of cats and dogs and that they pass from animal to anil nal; it is also known that they more readily pass this way from animal to animal in summer weather than in winter weather. All of the facts of the two epidemics in Connecticut would be explained upon the assump- ton that a few flies may have be- come infected from one or two of the original cases and that these few f1eas scattered themselves over the lOcali- ties, being carried to and fro upon the skin of animals, and that some of them afterwards had an oppor- tunity to get upon children and bit ing them, thus producing the disease. No other suggestion as to the means of distribution so we'll fits the facts that have been found in the epidemic in Meriden and Middletown. While the cases, by no means proved, it looks at the present time more as if the flea, or some other blood sucking insect, were responsible for the dis tribution of the disease of infantile paralysis than any other suggestion that has vet been made"

JOHN M. LUND IN

Present Hospital Unsanitary- Proper Place Might be Made
 Self-Supp0rting

John M. Lund, who was recently appointed by Mayor E. T. Bucking- ham to the Board of Health. has made a study of the Isolation hospital ques- tion in Bridgeport, and is outspoken in his condemnation of the present structure used for that purpose.
 The present Isolation hospital IS Of wood, and by nature unsanitary, main tains MT. Lund.
 ''I am in favor of the building of a cement structure" he declared to- day; "that is the only type which may be made absolutely sanitary. l think with a proper, modern struc- ture, say two-story building of con- crete arranged to allow perfect ven- tilation. cleaning and fumigation. such hospital may be made practically self-supporting. There is public need of such a place, but no one would want to go to the present Isolation hospital under any circumstances, much less pay for the privilege of going there.
 ''The question is an important one, involving not only the health and comfort of those who must become in- mates, but the public health and saf- ety as Weu.'

BURGLAR'S GIFT TO MARK TWAIN
 IN LIBRARY NOW

Bedding. Jan. 19-Before Henry Will Hams took up the gentle art of bur glary he must have attained high skill as a wood carver, this inference being supported by a specimen of his handi- craft which is now one of the curios brary. The article is a replica in miniature of an ocean steamship and was whittled out by Williams during his stay in the States prison at Wethersfield, to which institution he was sentenced for breaking into Mark Twain's home here in the fall of 1908. Charles Hoffman was his partner in the crime and both were captured the next morning by Sheriff Banks and Constable Lounsbury and promptly jailed. While the culprits were at the late Justice Nickerson's office await was present as witness, emerged from his seeming state of bored indif- ference sufficiently to engage in con- versation with Williams. Before the talk was finished he had given the burglar a blistering verbal castigation, the words being uttered. however. with no particular emphasis or excite ment of manner. Williams said little or nothing in reply. In the Superior court he received a sentence of four years.
 During the final sickness of Mark Twain last spring there came to him at Stormfie1d the steamship model ac- companied by letter from Williams. Tn the note Williams expressed regret that he had been a cause of trouble to MT. Clemens, and asked the authot to accept the gift as an expression of admiration and good will. It is safe to assume that had MT. Clemens been able he would have answered the bur- glars letter and. that the reply would have been worth reading.

6. 0. P. LEADERS
 GET NERVOUS
Fear Wicked Democrats Will Wipe Republican Districts
 Off the Map L

Washington, Jan. 19-Trouble of va ried and assorted sizes loomed up be- fore the House today, with the cir culation of a unique caucus call, car rying a referendum on the proposition of passing a reapportionment bill at this session. This is the question which is producing a great part of the trouble that is keeping the Republi- can leaders in state of nervous un- certainty. Representative Crumpacker, (Rep., Indiana). chairman of the Cen sus committee, has prepared several bills and has already had one placed on the calendar. The bill. which pro- vides for a House membership of 435, is eminently satisfactory to the Demo- crats, too satisfactory. many Demo- crats think.
 The Republican leaders have learned that, in various States where the Dem- ocrats now control the Legislatures. "gerrymander' plans have already been made whereby the Republicans are to be "districted out of exist ence''
 Word from New York is that 10 or 12 Republican districts are to be wiped off the map. in Ohio six are booked to go and from half a score of other States similar plans are reported.
 There was & widespread impression that today's referendum would go against apportionment for this ses- sion. By delay the Republicans hope they may gain time to win back some legiSla tors.

Of the many motions in short call endar cases to be heard by Judge Mil ton A Shumway in the civil Superior court tomorrow is the judgment of an- nulment in the suit of Hannah Morris of Stamford against John F. Morris, also of Stamford. The plaintiff brings suit through her father. Will liam F. Davenport. She claims that than IT years of age she agreed to wed John F. Morris. then youth of 19 years. No sooner said than done. They secured a marriage license and were wed by Justice of the Peace Francis S. Tippen of Stamford. The young wife says that noting the seri- ousness of her position in life. she re- gretted her step immediately after the ceremony.
 A reminder of that suit for S. 250,- 900 brought only a few weeks ago by Frank D. White of Rutland. Vt. and Nellie c. Hodge of Boston, Mass, against Richard Sutro of Greenwich, in which William K. Vanderbilt. his w. Seward Webb. and other railroad magnates of New York were mentioned as cOnspiratorS, comes by way of motion of Nellie c. Hodge to withdraw as plaintiff. She is the administrator of the estate of her husband, Horam A. Hodge, who with Frank D. White held the controlling interests in the South Shore and Que bee Southern railways in Canada The plaintiffs alleged in their suit that through stock manfpulations and con- spiracy they were forced out of con- trol of the two railroads.
 There are six uncontested divorce petitions on the list: Adela Waugh Morgan of Danbury vs. James Ira Morgan; Bertha Orsag 10th Balogg of this city vs. Frank Balogg; Alice B.

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Jan. 19.-Citing the opportunities for corruption and the tying up of legis1ature as now exist in several states-as the result of the present system of elect1ng members of the United States Senate. Senator Borah, (Rep., Idaho), today, made strong plea for the passage of resolution submitting to the states a constitutional amendment providing for direct elections.
 ''The system is vicious and out of date, prepared for a different age and under different conditions than that in which we live" he said. "The times demand a different system, g. members of this great body.
 'In the last 20 years there have been a great many prolonged con- tests in state legislatures which illus trate one of the great evils of the present system. The entire sessions pied in the electing of Senators to the exclusion of everything else for which they were called together. In some instances special sessions were called at great expense. In IA fn- stances states have gone without full representation here because of dead locks in the legislatures.
 'In other instances bribery and cor ruption have been charged and cor ruption or scandal have attached to the session. It is not alone that di- rect and open bribery sometimes pre- vails but that which Is equally as bad, more often prevails-bills and mea- sures are traded upon or killed, the public interest is sacrificed or actually bartered away, patronage and office enter into the deal and the whole affair becomes a disgrace and is of itself sufficient condemnation of the present system.
 Prior to 1872 we had had but one case of alleged election bribery con-
