HOT WEATHER
 DANGEROUS TO
 BABES LIVES
Health Officer Gives Timely Warning Relative to Care of Infants in Torrid Sea- son.

This is the weather that raises havoc with the little ones,'' said Health Off, ficer Edward A. Mcclellan as he mop ped his perspiring brow in the head quarters of the health department in the police and charities building.
 Parents ought to remember that what the children need most of all this weather is to be kept cool, and to be given clean, pure food. They ought to take especial care of the milk for the babies. We find year af- ter year that the infant mortality in the contested neighborhoods is high. This is because the parents do not know how to take care of the children.
 "Only recently we had an infant, IS months old, at the Isolation hospital for five weeks. We kept the child upon a milk diet. The mother came up to see the baby when it was about time to send the child home. She in sisted that the baby should be given some frankfurters and beer. She said we didn't give the little one enough to, eat That sort of thing is what makes busioess for the undertakers.
 ''The baby should sleep in a sepa- rate crib. Nothing diminishes the child's vitality so much as the heat from the body of grown person. Keep the children cool and watch their diet and they will come through the hot weather all right"

New Building For LoCom0biIe Co,
 In New York

The new building to be erected by
 the Locomobile Company of America
 in West Sixty-first street, S1 feet west
 of Broadway, will be the most com plete and interesting building of it's
 kind in New York.
 The peculiar turn of Broadway at 61st street will give almost a direct
 front view of the building as you come down Broadway, presenting
 practically a Broadway front The building will have a frontage of 100 feet on 61st street and depth of 100
 feet, and will be 15O feet high above
 the curb, and will embrace a base
 ment and eleven stories above same. Architecturally, the front will be simple, but effectively treated, giving the maximum amount of light and at the same time preserving and em- phasizing it's architectural value. The elevator service Is designed to
 be unique and interesting and unlike that of any other automobile building in New York.
 The columns are spaced 30 feet on centers, thus permitting free move ment of the cars in every direction. Anticipating the new building laws and with a desire to make the build ing absolutely perfect in it's stairways and means of exit in case of fire, there will be two flights of stairs in front of the building and one in the
 rear. They will all be enclosed with in firerroof walls and will be ample in width with large landings and free from winders
 Tn the basement wilt be located a large storage space, lockers, and wash | rooms for employees, and chauffeurs' room.
 On the first floor will be located the show room, which 1t is proposed to
 make enc of the most unique rooms of its kind in New York. In addition to the show room there will be a waiting room for customers, private office for stonegra phers, pri- vate office for MT. Hummer, large storage space for demonstrating cars, | locker space, etc.
 On the second floor will be located the financial and mechanical depart ments, a large stock room with the | most up-to-date equipment, and a | salesroom for rebuilt Locomobiles. The top floor will be 16 feet high in 1 the clear. In addition to having light l on the four sides, it will sbe provided | with three rows of skylights, so that l this floor will be absolutely lighted in every part. On this floor will be done l the heavy repair work
 The ether floors will be given up to the paint shops, carpenter shops, trim 1 ming and body shops, general repair
 work, etc, etc., all departments un- der one rocs.
 The main idea of the erection of l this building is to provide absolutely adequate facilities for the most eff cient kind of service to the Locomobile Companys customers, whether they be owners of pleasure or commercial | vehicles
 The architects for the building are Messrs. Kirby & Petit, of New York, and the brokers, the Cross & Brown Company of New York

ALDERMEN WANT ICE HOUSE ANNEX
 TO COMMON COUNCIL

4 City Sheriff Charles B. Mara has oeen asked by the Board of Aldermen Ito attach some ice house, on some pretext or other, and install the plant lin the city hall chamber this even ling. The city fathers are adverse to meeting tonight because of the heat,
 but the city charter states that there
 must be one session in July and that on the first Monday. As at the pres Ient time there does not appear any thing on the surface that would cause discussion, the aldermen will attempt to chalk up a record for a short ses- sion.
 The sewer committee will bring in a report asking for the calling of a public hearing on the Herring plan of
 sewerage system. At the last session, Senator Alderman Garry Paddock presented a resolution asking the city attorney the reasons why the contro- verSy between the Crane Co.,, and the city in relation to the ownership of the western end of South Avenue was being delayed in the courts. The attorney is on trip abroad at the present time

Prosecuting Attorney Delaney anG-4 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Red- den met with Attorney Hill and con- ferred at some length.
 Hill made it plain that he was in- sistent upon the issuance of wa--t rant. and declared that the State po~ lice had secured evidence This erl- -l dence was outlined to the prosecuting. officials. who informed the pastors representative that they would act.
 The warrant was issueS by Assist ant Prosecutor Redden. anu the prose cution today was represented by Pros ethtor Delaney Both prosecuforsi are acting jointly and in harmony While neither will authorize state ment as to their personal views on the matter of Sunday baseball, It fs n matter of common knowledge that they personally are strongly in favo- of the pastime, and it is equally wei known that were it not for the sctft- ity of the Pastors Association tf8. arrest of McCann would not have been made.
 An accredited representative of the Pastors Association has authorized a statement, now that TcCaDn has been arrested and public opinion tsi wrought to high pitch, that tf1e es Cams arrest or prosecution go much as other alleged violations of the Iaw at Steeplechase Island, such as ths operation of the dance hall.
 When McCann was arrested. he ca1l- ed upon William F. Burnhann. the n1ff- lionaire retired manufactures. who had previously assured McCann tbef He would be glad in event of trouble. to be of assistance to him. Mir Burn ham, warm personal friend of fhs energetic baseball manager. told the police to accept his bond for McCanuss appearance, and Supt. Birmingham promptly assured MT. Burnham that his word was good for s100,00o if need be.
 The bond was fixed, however, at s5e.
 The maximum penalty for violation of the section under which prosecu- ton was brought, is d fine of $50.
 Attorney Klein will confer with Manager McCann before Friday. with view to outlining plans for his de- fense. MT McCann referred ques- tioners to his attorney, who said bs was not yet ready to tell what action would be taken.

 JULY 4th IN STATE.
Especial from United Press )

I
 New Haven, July 3.-With every Connecticut city in the safe and sane column, to-day, the announced programs for to-morrow's celebration of Independence Day contained more scheduled events than ever before. Bridgeport is the latest addition to the large cities that declared for a noiseless celebra ton. South Norwalk liked this brand so well, last year, that Mayor Hohlman stated that the city would repeat the performance.
 The "kids" have been collecting ma terials for the big bonfires for several days past Street parades will be more elaborate than in former years, in New Haven's celebration.
 In Hartford the program is a long one for to-morrow's festivities. Ath- letics and band concerts will be em- phasized. Patriotic exercises will be held in Schulte Park.
 Willimantic expects to play host to over 5000 visitors for the Franco Convention. The delegates will form the largest single unite in the mon ster parade scheduled for the fore- noon. The Franco-Americans will hold their field day in the afternoon
 Meriden is preparing for a mon- cialists are expected to gather in the Silver City.
 Waterbury will witness flights by Aviator Charles K. Hamilton, of New Britain Middletown's program in cludes a field day for the inmates of the state insane asylum. An athletic meet for the common people, has been scheduled for Andrus Field. the entries of college amateurs having been barred.
 President F'lavel S. Luther, of Trin- ity College, Hartford, is the scheduled al a aCt Ia tomorrow. The city first planned to give an elaborate fireworks display but later the fireworks were cut out of the celebration.

MRS. BABOY FINED
 AMOUNT OF FEE

Mrs. Nicholas Baboy. wife of a Hailett street saloon keeper, was fined the costs of the liquor prosecuting agent. $10. in the City court, for vio- tIation of the liquor law yesterday.
 Sergeant Hazel and Liquor Agent ErWagner raided the place, yesterday, sand found her serving drinks to Michael and Samuel Babey, callers. Her husband was absent. All three were arrested.
 Prosecutor Albert J. Merritt drew warrants for their prosecution today, and Attorney J. B. Klein appeared for the defense. The facts were ad- nitted to the court and Judge Foster then asked Prosecutor Merritt if he claimed s1O for prosecuting each of the three cases.
 It was agreed that the two men should be discharged, and the woman fined merely the costs of the prose- cutting agent, which Merritt said was satisfactory to him.

Judge Foster announced that he was disqualified when the case of Eugene McCann, the Bridgeport baseball club manager, was called in the city court today. McCann was arrested yester- day on complaint of the Bridgeport Pastors Association for violation of section 1869 of the General Statutes, in conducting a Sunday ball game a week before, at Steeplechase Island, Bridgeport.
 McCann was represented by DeFor- est & Klein, Attorney J. B. Klein ap- bearing in court.
 Judge Foster explained, when Mc- Cams case was called, that he was counsel for the Steeplechase Amuse- ment Co.,, and while he did not know, and did not care to know, what con- nection there is between the amuse- ment company and McCann, he felt that he should not act, for that req son.
 Attorney Klein said he was well aware of the fact that Judge Foster represented the Steeplechase interests, but that so far. as he was concerned he was willing to rest the case in the judges hands. However, Judge Eos ter said he didn't care to become in Yolved in the case if it should develop into such shape that it would re- quire decision
 II IL 5 HlcIeIy IOIIfldl IndII6f--l1 you're going to enter a demurrer, for instance-I would act, but not if the case will call upon me for a decis- ion"
 Deputy Judge Wilder has gone away for several weeks. He is not expect ed back before July 19 or 20 Judge Foster said in the absence of Judge Wilder he would continue the case to any date the counsel would suggest, and that if it is necessary he will call in an outside judge to act
 Attorney Klein suggested next Fri day, July 7, and this proved agree able all around. The case was then continued until that date, bail being fixed at $50
 McCann was served with the war rant by Detective Sergeant Hall yes terday forenoon. The issuance of the warrant was on complaint of the Bridgeport Pastors Association. At torney George E. Hill, former presi- dent of the Police Commission, and counsel for the Pastors Association, lodged his complaint with the prose cutting officials late Saturday.

Captain Paul Boyton, manager Of
 Steeplechase Island, made the follow
 ing statement today as to the orderly
 conduct of those who visit the resort:
 ssThe attendance at Steeplechase Isl-
 and has aggregated on Sundays this season, as high as one quarter of the entire population of the city. Imagine 25, 900 people, men. women and . children in all walks of live, assem- bled in one place all enjoying them selves in innocent recreation. There are several facts in connection with this condition to which desire to draw public attention. The first is that this large gathering of people are together for half a day and they con- duct themselves so we'll that a police Iman, regular or special or peace officer of any sort, is never required. Among our employees at the island [ there is not even a special policeman. Still there Is never any trouble, not l. even a complaint to 1re, no breach of the peace, no arguments between men Tor women and no trouble of any kind, much less an arrest.
 "In my time. and I understand that the record is the same since Stee- plechase Island was opened, there nev- CT has been an arrest on the island,
 Sunday or any other day. I speak of Sunday particularly for the reason that on that day the attendance is the greatest No stronger argument can be advanced in regard to the be- lhavior of the people who gather at the leland and I am proud of that fact that the police court records are clear. Band concerts in the public parks of the city are under generous police protection. Whether police are even needed there or not I do not know. but the past has shown that they are not needed at the island.
 If so many people come to our re- sort there must be a desire for this sort of rexreetton. The Bridgeport

HANDFUL OF MEN
 WOULD MAKE THE
 PEOPLE SUFFER
SAYS CAPTAIN BOYTON--CALLS AT. TENTION TO CLEAN RECORD
 OF STEEPLECHASE

Board of Trade thought so and induc- ed us to reopen the resort. In other cities the same sort of summer amuse- ment is provided, for summer parks are a great American institution and their favor has extended abroad, to England, with its White City at Man chester, Germany and other European countries. Here in Connecticut a handful of men say 1t Is wrong and would deprive those who toll all week of the opportunity to go to the sea- shore on Sunday and indulge in rec reation and a diversion by the thou sands, of the most innocent sort
 'I presume that am criminal for opening a resort on Sunday, in the eyes of some. Those who are fortunate enough to own automobiles make Sunday tours through the coun- try, up hill and down at rapid speed. Riding devices at amusement resorts are much on the same order but of lesser pleasure perhaps. Golf is not objected to and the fashionable clubs can obtain attractive grounds and in- dulge in all kinds of arnusements. There are reasons why these pleasures of the wealthy are not interfered with.
 'The persons in ordinary walks of life must not enjoy themselves on Sunday. If, they should play pool or billiards it is wrong, while in the clubs it is all right I have been trying to figure out why no effort to close Steeplechase Island has ever been made before. There has been an amusement resort there for 20 years and 1t has taken all of that time to learn that the Sunday opening of the place is bad for the people. The self constituted guardians of the we'll being of the masses say that they must not have their Sunday pleasure at the place which pleases them most. I do not desire to get into a contro- versy with any of these public guar dians. I am too busy to bother my head about what they may say or try
