DENMARK STIRRED
BY TALK OF WAR
People Aroused to Necessity
of Making Provision for
National Defense.
FEELING is FRIENDLY
TOWARD UNITED STATES
Interest in Panama Canal Opening
and the Exposition at San
Francisco.
COPENHAGEN, March IL, 1913.

COPENHAGEN, March il, 1913.
The sentiment of nationalism is grow
ing in Denmark by leaps and bounds.
and notable Sesult is the col
lection of a huge P~c fund for
the defense of the country. Re
peated demands on the government for
additional Notifications have met with
little response, and private interests have
now determined to take up the work.
The subscription is headed by the king
and queen. and other members of the
royal family have contributed generously.
The money is now pouring in from all
sources, schools, business houses and Of
fees contributing freely. Several artists
have donated their paintings to be sold
for the fund.
The present unrest in Europe Is largely
responsible for the interest in this re-
markable measure of national defense.
The Danish people feel that in the case
of q war between any OF the great
powers their country would be crushed
unless they are in a position TO ENFORCE
armed neutrality.
Interest in the Canal.
No nation in Europe is taking more in
terest in the opening Of the Panama
canal than Denmark
The East Asiatic Company is making
arrangements to run direct line OF
steamships from Copenhagen to the Gold
en- Gate via the canal, and Denmark ex-
poets that the new waterway will place
the fruits and wines of the Pacific coast
within reach of her purse. as well as
provide a market for her products.
The visit to Copenhagen of the commits
sioners Of the Panama-Pacific internation-
al exposition aroused great local interest
and Denmark is determined to be ade-
Quately represented at the San Francisco
fair. This feeling of neighborliness with
the United States was Increased by the
recent gift of Rebbild Park to Denmark
by large group of Danish Americans
Many Danish merchants have returned
recently from tours of the United States
where they went to get into touch with
the latest business methods, and the
closeness with which American political
and financial conditions are studied is in
dicated by a number Of new Danish laws
modelled on those Of the United States.

AS the old year is passing out and
the new one is coming in We would
like to say few words regarding
our village.
There has been some sickness on
the hill, but most Of the invalids are
improving.
The union Sunday school is pro-
crossing nicely. J. G. Bentley r.
signed last Sabbath as superinten l.
ent and Joe Seigler was unanimou ,ly
elected TO succeed him.
The Christmas tree was great
success in every way. The children
all had beautiful recitations and
Santa Claus" (Nos. One, Two and
Three) all acted their parts we'll.
Everything passed off nicely and all
seemed to enjoy the occasion to the
fullest extent, returning to their
homes rejoicing.
On Sunday afternoon, December
22d, about o'clock, the alarm was
given that a child had fallen into one
of the wells, and it was found that
the unfortunate one was little Ernest,
the 6-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. II. Long. AS soon as assistance
could be secured II. d. Knox made an
heroic attempt to save the life of the
child. The we'll box, against which
the little fellow was leaning, had
been pulled over, causing him to fall
in, and as soon as Mr.. Knox reached
the scene he called for one end Of the
chain, and had it tied so he could put
one foot into it. He went down stand
ing on one foot, being lowered by
means of the chain sliding on the
edge of the we'll floor, being held at
the top by number Of men, the pull
ley being out Of use. On reaching
the water, which was about six feet
deep, Mr.. Knox found the little fell
low floating, and, taking the chain
from around his foot, he tied 1t
around the body Of the child and sent
it out, he remaining in the we'll till a
rope could be sent down for him. No
doubt he would have saved the little
ones life had it not struck rock
about two feet above the water,
crushing its skull and breaking it's
neck. Mr.. Knox is receiving the
highest praise from far and near for
his heroic work in trying to save the
little child. Mr.. and Mrs. Long have
the sympathy Of many friends in their
hour Of sorrow.

BODY FLOATING IN TIE RIVER
Found by Captain Thomas w. Story he Shetucct River Bacz of Nevz Haven Round House-laenthed Antonio Larese of This City-Last Seen Alive Tuesday Morning Possibly Struck by Train and Knocked Into River.

The body of & man, later identified as that of Antonio Larese, who lived on Washington street, was found floating in the ahetucket river behind the New Haven railroad roundhouse about 4.3o o'clock Wednesday afternoon by Cap- tain Thomas w. Story. The skull was badly crushed, and after an investfga
 ton Medical Examiner Dr. Rush w.. Kimball, who was called into the case, came to the conclusion that the man had probably been struck and killed by train on the New Haven road, possi- bly, at some point along the tracks above the Preston bridge, where the track runs along the river bank.
 The Identification Of the man was made by Contractor Tryon, for whom he had been at work on road work in Lisbon and then in Preston. MT Try on had last seen LaIese on Tuesday morning. He told the medical exam finer that the man had been acting strangely of late and that he had a notion that some one was after him.
 The body was seen in the water by Captain Story as he was coming ashore after anchoring his power boat at it's mooring. It was floating on it's back at some little distance from land and with one hand showing above wa ter. He put a rope around one arm and lowed the body near shore, where he anchored it with a coupling pin, and then notified police headuarters by telephoning from Powers Bros. Chief

Linton took the message and notified the medical examiner, who viewed the body at the spot where 1t had been left and later examined it more closely at the morgue of Cummings G Ring, un- dertakers, to which Il was removed.
 A Waltham silver watch, which had fallen from a pocket of Larese's cloth ing, was seen on the bottom of the 11Y- CT by Captain Story. It was in shallow water and had dropped out while he was bringing the body ashore. It was recovered by Policeman Charles Smith, who was able to reach over the side of Captain Story's rowboat and get the watch.
 The dead man was well dressed. and in one of his pockets was found the sum of $6.02. A card bearing Contrac- tor Tryon's name was also found on the body and gave the first clue to as sist in identiicatio The medical eX- aminer notified MT. Tryon in this city, who saw the body at the undertak- CTS morgue and positively identified it.
 I-arese had worked for the contrac- tor about three years, and before that for his father He was unmarried and was about 25 years old. He lived with an Italain family in the house on lower Washington street formerly known as the Plaut house. He has a cousin in Meriden, who is a fruit dealer and is coming here to see about the funeral arrangements

SCHOOL TIME LOST
 THROUGH MEASLES Medical Supervision Probably Would Have Prevented It Last Year, Says pr. Cassidy.

In an interview Wednesday evening regarding the proposition for medical supervision of schools which is to come before the town meeting, Dr. Patrick J. Cassidy who is one of its strong advocates, said that he had been look Ing up some statistics of the health in the Norwich schools the past year and he found that from one infectious disease alone, measles one fifteenth of the school time last year was lost and that with medical supervision it was fair to presume this could haVi been prevented As the education cost per pupil in Norwich is over S30 per year, we were thus losing in actual money B per pupil which is at the rate of over S6.O00 per year as we had 3,232 pupils in the schools. This does not consider the loss of health incident to infectious diseases and these pupils who were out of school 2,500 days be- cause of measles were not out the length of time required by the regu- lations of the health officer.
 We are compelled by law, said the doctor, to have our children go to school 40 weeks in the year and we ought to give them just as fair chance not to contract infectious dis eases in a place where they are com pelled to go as they have in their own homes not to contract infectious dis eases. There would be no more com
 
 there is now about attendance at school. but a certain amount of au- thority is vested in the school author ities which has had to be invoked in certain instances ir the past and may have to be in the future.
 The principal argument against medical supervision. he said. seemed to be on the ground that it would put an additional burden in the way of taxes, but he did not consider that that argument would hold water be- cause as an actual fact we were paying for goods not delivered since children not sick were compelled to be absent from school and did not receive their moneys worth although their educa- ton was paid for and there was an indirect tax on parents having chil- dren sick, which came through money expended for medicine supplies and medical attendance. As far as mem bers of the school board were con cerned none of them would receive any financial emolument if medical super vision was put into effect

 tending to join the union. At the Blue Star company about 20 girls were discharged and at the Norwich Shirt and Overalls company there were about B discharged some six or eight remaining in the shop.

 Tried Under New Statute. The trial of the case of state vs. | Joseph Snamenotz accused under a new state statute in effect August 1st | of receiving support from a woman, l Viola Burr, who was used in a house of ill fame at New London, was be- gun in the afternoon.
 The first witness in the case was Mary Rose who testified that the Burr woman conducted a house of ill fame in New London. Other witnesses were | Viola Burr, GeorgiS Ritchie, State Po- licemen Downing and Jackson. After 1 their testimony the state rested. Attorney Roderick M. Douglass for the accused called Viola Burr to the stand. She testified that she signed a. certain paper in the case through fear and hardly knew what she was doing.
 The accused. who said he was born in Jersey City, and was a. Swiss by nationality aged 9, testified that his parents both died when he was 14 years old, and that he had been in the regular army and in February, 1913 was discharged at Fort H. G.. Wright. He had S250 when he was discharged and said he meant to take it easy until that was used up and then look for d job. He had known Viola Burr since year ago last April He said he had known her in both the Union street and the Golden street house and he first saw State Police man Downing last Friday when he was fixing up room at the Golden street place He said Viola Burr had told him if he would come to her hOusS clean up the house and do some cook ing, she would give him his room there.
 The witness said he did not under stand that he was under arrest when brought from New London to Norwich in the automobile, because the police man had asked him if he could say a good word for the girl. The witness was shown q paper which had his name on it and said he had signed if but did not read it till afterwards and then he saw his mistake. He said the only money he got from Viola was for doing errands and that he had not been dependent upon Viola for support.
 Attorney Douglass for the defense said he rested. and Attorney Warren Burrows assisting the prosecuting att torney, made the first argument for the state, which occupied about ten minutes. He was followed by Attorney Douglass for the defense
 At one point in the testimony the girl Viola Burr broke up the decorum of the court by the expression Gee whiz!" and had to be reminded by the judge to leave out the explosives.
 Court adjourned until Friday at 10 a. m.
