Dr. Hugh B. Campbell, superintend- ent for the New London County Tu- berculosis sanitarium in Norwich, came here Tuesday evening on his custom ary visit of inspection and was &C., companied by Thomas McClunis, who is associated with Commissioner Gun shanan in the organization of anti tuberculosis organizations among the industrial workers of the state.
 Superintendent Campbell has re- gently returned from attending the mid-winter meeting of the American Sanitarium association which was held at Montehore, Branford Hills, N. r., where he met the superintendents from all over the country and learned interesting details of the work that is being done to check the White Plague in all parts of the country.
 96 Beds in Local Sanitarium.
 In speaking of the construction of new tuberculosis sanitariums that he learned of, Superintendent Campbell quoted some figures to show how well the state commission has done from financial standpoint in building the Norwich sanitarium when it's cost is compared with ever larger institutions in other states. The Norwich sani-
 tarium is to be provided for 96 beds
 and represents an outlay of about
 $s0,0oo, he said. yet a new sanitarium at Plainfeld, Hudson county, N. J., of 64 beds capacity, represented a cost of $210,000, and Hope farm in Della
 ware, which is partly under state con-
 trol cost s125,000 for 70 bed san itarium. Still another with which
 comparison might be made to the credit of the new Norwich institution was the Montefiore sanitarium, which
 is semi-private and cost $250,000 with accommodations for 150 beds. One of

learned of is to be built in Berks county, Pa. at a cost of $525,000. This showing for Norwich has been at no let down in quality, as everything that modern science knows has been pro- vided for.
 Some of the supplies for the Nor wich sanitarfum which were ordered for Dec. Is delivery are already ar irving, but Dr. Campbell said 1t would surely be January 18th before the first patients can be received.
 Supplies That Are Used. As indicating what supplies might be required for the Norwich sani- tarium in a week when 1t is receiving patients, Supt. Campbell gave some approximate statistics of what is used each week at the Meriden sanitarium where there are 120 patients and which makes the total enrolment about 160. Their figures show bout two barrls of l flour used each week, 110 pounds of i first quality prime beef, 70 pounds of pork chops, and 70 pounds of pork roasts, 70-S0 pounds of lamb, 9012O pounds of chicken and a great quan- i tfty of guaranteed fresh eggs. Costs ii per Week DOT Patient.
 At the Meriden sanitarium the cost oL maintenance per patient was $lUoe per week last year, but this year the increased cost of living has sent il up to over $11. Of this sum the fam | fly or organization of which the pa- i tient is beneficiary supplies $4 and 1 the state makes up the difference. This S4 share is what can be furnished by the funds raised by anti-tuberculosit societies, which has been one of the pet plans of Commissioner Gunshanan There are organizations now among
 industrial workers in Hartford, Nor wich, Meridcn. Waterbury and New Britain.

APPEALS TAKEN IN
 THE GAMBLING CASES
Aubrey Given Jail Sentence and Fine
 Fines for Those Accused of Frs- quenting.

There was an unusually long session of the city court Tuesday morning, the cases not being finished up until about noon, although the hours were enliv ened somewhat at frequent intervals by clashes between City Attorney John D. Hall and Attorney Thomas M. Shields, who represented the men in the case of the state vs. Henry Aubrey, Harry Rogers, John Dillon, Fred Williams, Frank Throw, George Dixon, Harry Hilman, Ben Walsh, Walter Johnson. Frank Clish. William Mitchell and Michael Roach. Aubrey was charged with keeping a gambling joint and the others were accused of frequent ing the place. There was a big crowd of spectators in the court while the case was on trial.
 Chief Linton was the first witness, and told of the bad reputation of the Aubrey house. Attorney Shields wish ed the chief to tell from whom the i'm formation came as to the kind of house Aubrey kept. but City Attorney Hall objected. When MT Hall asked MT. Shields to repeat a statement that one hears much about justice nova days, but that some justice is hard to understand, MT. Shields replied that he would write a novel on the matter for MT. Halls leisurely perusal. Mr.Shields said that if he could not get justice In this court he could take the matter to higher court
 Judge Brown said that everyone could expect justice in his court and that if MT. Shields was not satisfied he could enter a demurrer and take the case to a higher court. Judge Brown ruled that Chief Linton should tell of his source of informa- ton, whereupon Attorney Hall with drew the part of the testimony re- garding the reputation of the Aubrey place and the chief did not make known his informants.
 Captain Twomey, Sergeants Math- eWs and Kane and Policeman Casey told of the raid. Michael Roach, one of the frequenters, testified that he was boarder at the Aubrey house | and that the place was not used fol 1 gambling The witness said he gave another name when arrested because | he did not wish his mother to know
 of the affair.
 | Judge Brown found all the parties | guilty and sentenced Aubrey to 6t ] days in jail and fixed bonds at $500 | The frequenters were fined $10 an6 costs each and they appealed and fur nished bonds. Aubrey also appealed
 and was released on the bond of z
 professional man.
 At the close of the case City Attor.
 ney Hall stated that if he knew tht
 origin of certain statements made re.
 garding his attitude of the case ther,
 would be a libel suit in the courts 1T
 short order.
 Rose Kouler paid the sum of s11.3
 for her liberty as the result of f1gh over an ash barrel, the accused hay ing somewhat the better of the argu ment, so that her larger opponent ap peared in court with a black eye.
