HIGH DEATH RATE
 FOR DECEMBER
Pneumonia Leads in Mortalities
 in This State F

The monthly bulletin of the State Board of Health, which has just been issued for December, 1910. shows that there were 1,566 deaths throughout the State during the month. This was 314 more than in November and 101 more than in December 1909 and 169 more than the average number of deaths during December for the five years preceding. The deaths reported from infectious diseases were PA, be- ing 14.3 per cent of the total mortal ity.
 In Hartford there were 164 deaths, Bridgeport had 129 deaths and New Haven had 196. Throughout the State pneumonia caused the greatest num- Der of deaths, PAP, in all. Consump- tion caused 125.
 In reviewing the vital statistics for 1910 pr. Joseph T. Townsend, the. sec retary of the State Board of Health and superintendent of the registration of vital statistics. writes as follows:
 With the possible exception of a few delayed certificates, the vital statistic returns for the year 1910 have all been received at this office, so that we can give some information in advance of the annual compilation, regarding the births, marriages ana deaths that have occurred in the State during the past year, also the mortality from some of the more important infectious diseases. The total deaths numbered 17,4S7, which equals a death rate of 15.7 per 1000 population. as compared with a death rate of 15.6 in 1909.
 The births were 26.6S1. which is a slight increase over the number. 26,431, reported last year. The marriages show the greatest increase and amount ed to 9986, Or about seven hundred more than were reported during the previous year. Regarding deaths from special causes, there were 1,443 deaths from tuberculosis and although this was twelve more than during the pre- ceding year. it gives death rate of 13 per 10000 of population as com pared with 13.4 in 1909 and is the low est yet recorded. Pneumonia with l. S61 deaths not only has the distinction of causing more deaths, Ihan any other single disease, but this number is a large increase over those reported last year, which was 1,537. Typhoid fever and measles show a slightly de- creased death rate, while in scarlet fever, diphtheria and whooping cough there is a slight increase in the rate.

WHO OWNS LUNG OF THIS SINGLE
 lUNGED MACHINE
Selectmen Never Had a Case Like the One Justice Bent
 is Called to Settle

It took four hours yesterday after noon to get in the testimony in a case concerning one-lunged automobile and the right of the owner of She half of the machine to take it out for an airing without the consent of the owner of the other half. Justice w. w. Bent who sat upon the case is going to look up the law bearing up- on the case of the co-partnership in COW here the owner of the rear end sued his partner for not feeding the front end, with the result that the animal died.
 In the case tried before Justice Bent, William Lamond sued Albert Lagenegger, designer of corsets with the George c. Batcheller Go. for s75 damages. He claims that he and the corset designer bought S15O motor ear of a vintage beyond recall and that they got a great deal of enjoy ment out of it. Lamond was the according to his own statement. He claims that Lagenegger went away on vacation, lLamond claims the car was left in his possession and some thing happened to it. When Lag enegger came back he is alleged to chine fixed up. A new crank shaft. crank case, a piston rod, a piston, and a spring were a few of the things added to the rebuilding of the car. The cost was $150. Lamond claims that he almost had to be introduced to his former joy riding friend after he flashed the bill. He says that MT. Lagenegger refused to pay and he had Attorney George F. Mara bring suit for $75 and costs. MT. Lag enegger secured the services of Judge John M. Pullman to look after his end of the case. MT. Lagenegger' s side of the story is to the effect that Lamond took out his half of the car without his permission and that he (Lagenegger) never agreed to pay half of the bill for fixing up the car.

SASSY LITTLE AND
 REST OF BILL ARE
 BIG HIT AT POLES

It was some show at Polls, last night, when Gus Edwards School Boys and Girls came back with Lil- Han Come. the original Sassy Little, stfll the enticing plump and diminu- tive figure that has done so much to make the piece a success. The new act is called "A Graduation Day." but it holds the same interesting players, who have @ medley of pleasant song, dance and merry jest. The house, which was a large one, went into the widest applause and called the people onto the stage again and again.
 Also a huge success in another way was Una Clayton, in a playlet called His Local Color," which was prettily staged, and was made the vehicle of much fun and some pathoS. Miss Clayton was assisted by Francis Nor ey as Harold Sherman an artist, and by Dorothy Quincy as Jean LaRouche, his sweetheart The scene is in the are condensed all the elements of a four act melodrama. Miss Clayton is a clever actress.
 The unexpected is perhaps the great est element in vaudeville. And into this grouping fall Samaroff & Sonia, described as Russian peasants, who do a turn of mingled dancing, music and acrobatic work into which is sprink- led some of the clevereSt little train ed dogs that ever have been seen. The act also has a pretty setting.
 Marie Sparrow, sings some clever songs She is built in the Maggie Cline fashion and sings in the memor- able Maggie Cline style. She was a great hit. last night, and the audi ence would willingly have heard more of her. With delightful Irish brogue, a refreshing presence, and a vigorous method of reaching out and capturing the house clean from the first floor to the top gallery she is an addition to the vaudeville stage.
 Harry Breen also does a clever turn. He is funny without any one being able to tell why, He proves Mark Twain's question, what is humor any how? He probably utters more words during his brief time on the stage than any other man who has ever played Bridgeport What is it they say in such cases? He knocks them off the seats. That's it. The show closed with two final acts, each excellent in it's way. Great Lester, proved him. self, as per advertisement, a ventrilo- qual marvel. He departs from the method of the ordinary performer in this line by bringing his dummy right down among the audience, where it '.joshes" merrily. Emerson & Bald win. comedy jugglers had the last turn. Their comedy was excellent. Those who go to Polls, this week will get double value in that laughter which makes the lean grow fat and the fat reduce to comfortable propor- tons.

SESSION OF CONGRESS-
 LOOMING UP
Special from United Press. )


 Washington, Jan. 17.-With anoths CT kink tied in the House rules and two more days a month taken away from general executive business, the House leaders, today, admitted that they will have hard work disposing of the routine work before the end of the session on March 4. The pos sibility of an extra session immedi- ately after the new Democratic Con- gress comes in loomed up very large.
 In addition to the pressure of time, the House is involved in the queerest lineup of parties that has marked this checkered Congress. Yesterday, insurgents joined the Democrats in every ruling of Speaker Cannon. The Democrats, today, seem to be in a position to control the House, almost as absolutely as they will after March 4. One result of the tangled situa- ton predicted by some leaders. is that President Taft will secure no tariff commission legislation of con- sequence,

.kELLY'S JOKE
 ABOUT MONEY FOOLS BURGLARS
Waiter and Jeweler Are Inspired
 to Attempt Safe 07 Veteran
 Circus Man With Screw Driv-

John w. Kelly, the veteran circus man, who relishes nothing so much as a laugh, jocosely told a group of patrons in his cafe, A Bank street, last evening, that he had fully $2,OO0 tucked away in the strong box of his safe. This was about II o'clock. In the saloon were John Goodwin, a waiter, 23 years old. and Philip Key holds, aged 31, a jeweler, both living at S4 State street.
 Four hours later Patroln,en Bray and Beamer captured the pair sneak ing out of an alley leading to the back entrance. to Kelly's place. The conduct of the twain appeared sus- picious and the police stopped them: Leading the suspects to the rear or the place they found the back door open. Confronting them with an ac- cusation they admitted they had been in the place, expecting to find S2,O00 in the safe.
 But they were a pair of bungling amateurs. Ali the tools they had was a screw driver, and they realized the futility of their plans soon after they entered the place, and contenting themselves with about $10 in change, contained in a beer glass, they left. They got in by slipping a bolt in the back door. One of them reached his hand through a pane of glass. which was cut out.
 Goodwin pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary in the city court today Reynolds said he was not guilty. All he had done was to stand outside and watch for policemen. That ill the eyes of the law made him equally guilty, however, and both were held in bail of $1,000 for trial in the February term of the Su- perior court.
 Goodwin said he had come here mo worked in restaurants here and of late had lived with Reynolds. He had been sent to jail for a brawi, and coming out could get no work. '.I had to get money somehow" he said. 'I wanted to get out of town."
 "Walking's good isn't it?" asked Prosecutor Delaney.
 Mot when you've got bad feet, protested the waiter.
 MT. Kelly later admitted that if he had S2,000 in his safe, he would have to laugh himself to death.

Bridgeport is recovering from the After-election business slump more rapidly than any city in Connecticut, said a we'll known travelling sales man in one of the Bridgeport hotels last night to a Farmer representative. The Farmers informant Iremarked:
 '-In many of the cities in the State I have visited there is practically no signs of a pick up in business, this will also apply to many of the up- state cities in New York State and I can truthfully say that Bridgeport has that go-ahead look and I believe it has suffered the hardships of the election season less than any city in the State"
