PATIENTS INOCULATED
 WITH DISEASE SERUM
Physicians MaItreat Them for Pur-
 poses of Experiment..

Washington, Dec. 9.-Cruelty to anil malls by Vivisectors and the needless infliction of pain in any other form were vigorously denounced at the opening session here today of the In ternational Anti ViYisection and Ami nal Protection Congress.
 Ernest Thompson Seton said there was no good reason why skins of an1- malls should not be worn, but there should be no unnecessary suffering for the animals. He deplored the use Of the steel trap, in which, he said, "anl- 1naIs are sometimes held for days and weeks before they slowly starVe or freeze to death,'' A good economic reason why fur bearing animals should not be made to suffer, he said, was the fact that the skns would be better.
 Frederick P Bellany of Brooklyn declared no investigation could be forced of reports that at certain hos pitaIs children were inOculated with serums of loathsome diseases by experi- mentors, and dangerous tests were oft en performed on healthy ignorant peO- pie He said one physician had ac- knowIedged in 2, recent issue of a med ical journal that he had sprayed the poison of smallpox, scarlet fever and diphtheria into the throats and lungs c4 17 healthy people whom he was treat ing, as they supposed, for catarrh of the throat.

THAMES NATIONAL BANK
 ADOPTS STATEMENT SYSTEM
Is New Method Here for Balancing Depositors' Accounts - Facilitates Work and Prevents Errors.

Depositors who had their passbooI1s written up at the Thames National bank were given notice that hereafter their accounts would be balanced un- der the statement system.
 For several years the New York and Boston and other large banks throughout the country have been us ing either the envelope or the state ment system for balancing their de- positors' accounts, with much satis- faction. The comptroller of the cur rency and the American Bankers as sociation haNe urged their adoption by all banks. After two years ex- perience with their out of town depos- itors, the Thames National bank has now installed the statement system, regularly, for all of their accounts.
 With the old pass book system, a dozen books might come in today and 100 tomorrow; always in large quan- titles on the first and last days of the month, when every clerk was working to the full limit. This caused late hours and much night work. But un- der this system the, work is planned consistently; the main idea being to distribute the making of statements along through the month, having ap- proximately the same number to do each day. In instituting it, the de- positors are consulted, and unless q preference is expressed, each one is notified that he will receive his state ment monthly, bi-monthly, or quarter ly, on a certain day of the month.
 The statements are made by a set of clerks. independent of the book keepers and the ledgers, the entries being made directly from the original deposit of tickets and checks, This prevents errors and irregularities which has recommended it's adoption. To facilitate handling these statements they use Burroughs statement ma chine, that prints the dates, amounts of deposits and checks, and totals, more rapidly and accurately than can be done by hand. The deposit tickets and checks are kept in vertical files in compartments for each depositor. The present pass book will be used simply as a memorandum of the de- posits and other credits, and will not be necessary ill balancing the account. The bank is much pleased with the universal appreciation of the change expressed by it's customers,

WHEN THE ABSOLUTE
 CAME TO CONNECTICUT.
Captain Goddard, Formerly of The 3ul- Ietin, Recalls Visiting the Ship When Boy.

The following from the Springfield Republican, written by Captain Henry r. Goddard of Baltimore, some years ago on the staff of The Norwich Bull letin, is of local interest:
 A strange misstatement of fact was lately made by Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle in an article on "A Mystery of the Sea- In commend ing on the finding of 9, vessel that had been missing six years, he said:
 The finding of this deserted vessel recalls the discovery of the Resolute turn to the British government. She was one of many ships sent out to find the lost Sir John Franklin ex- petition, and was abandoned in the Arctic region. Twelve years elapsed before she broke loose from the great foe by which she was encircled and started toward the Atlantic.
 The facts as to the ResoIute are perfectly well known to me, and have verified them recently by corres- bonding with Walter Learned, presi- dent of the New London. Conn, Saw ings bank, who writes me that he visited the ship when she was brought of 1855. From The Toll of the Arctic, a book by D. w. Edwards, published in 1910, I quGte
 In 1852 Queen Victoria sent out five vessels in search of the missing Sir John Franklin expedition Among these was the Resolute. They ex- plored the shores of Wellington chan nel and the coasts of the neighbor- hood "Nipped in the ice, Sir Edward Belcher (who was in command) abandoned all but two of his ships The Resolute was found at sea by Captain James Buddington of New London, brought to the United States and presented to England by joint res olutiOn of congress and delivered to Queen Victoria by Captain J. H. Hart sten, United States navy.
 As l recall, she had drifted some 1,500 miles and had been abandoned less than a year when she was dis covered by Captain Buddington of the whaling vessel George and Mary, owned by Perkins & Smith of New London, Conn.,, to whom Captain Bud dington delivered her, and from whom the United States government bought her. While at New London she lay in the Thames off Fort Trumbull and was visited by great many persons, including MT. Learned and the writer, both small boys.
 The vessel was practically just as she had been found and had a large quantity of provisions and supplies on board. Among these were several kegs of dried apples, and I well re- call how, with another lad, we helped ourselves to some of these and had barely swallowed one or two when the sentinel in charge of these turned upon Us suddenly with; 'rHave you boys been eating those dried apples ?'' When we made a reluctant comics

Bound Mrs. Varese in Kitchen,


 Lehan found Mrs. Varese in the kitchen of the CaIlandrillo apartment in charge of Mrs. Callandrillo. Sh3 was bleeding profusely and was rapid ly losing consciousness. She was un- able to talk and was taken to the Hart ford hospital in the ambulance as soon as she could be removed.
 Bloody Knife on Bureau.
 Lehan and Sterzing next went to the apartment occupied by the VareSes on the third floor and on entering the bedroom 0 scene of confusion con- frontei them. There was blood on the floor and the furniture was tossed about. The mattress was cut in sev- eraI places, showing where Varese had made intellectual attempts to clash his wife.
 On a bureau was found a bloody knife, the one. the police believe, used by Varese. The weapon was taken to the police station.
 Accused Wife.
 My wife was unfaithful to me, and I tried to kill her. said Varese to the policemen who had him in charge when he was being taken to headquar- terS.
 After his arrest he told the police that he had wanted his wife to go to Norwich and to take up her residence in that city with him. Varese reports that she refused his request and claims that her refusal was inspired by the fact that she has a lover somewhera ? in Hartford whom she was unwilling to leave.
 Varese a Quiet Man.
 Varese is said by his friends to have been a quiet and inoffensive fellow who was never in any trouble previous to the shooting at the pumping sta, tiOn. He was never arrested in Hart ford.
 Pay for Game Wardens.
 The arrangement by which the fish and game wardens are paid a salary is not working satisfactorily, accord ing to John NJ. Crampton, superinten- dent of fish and game, and he will abolish the salary system except in Hartford and Fairfield counties. Tho wardens in the other six counties will be paid at the old rate of compensa- ton, $3 day and expenses. The salaries were at the rate of $500 a year.

James Narese, ?, who has recently been working for the H. Wales Lines company of Meriden on the contrac, which they have at the Norwich state hospital is held in Hartford under s5 900 bonds for a hearing on Dec. 1j on the charge of stabbing his wife with . knife about 3.30 o'clock Tuesday morning in their tenement at No. 2l6 Front street, Hartford.
 His wife. Mary. 24 years of age, is in the Hartford hospital in a serious condition, suffering with knife wounds on her neck, throat and body.
 Varsse was arrested immediately af- ter the assault. as he was preparing to make his escape, by Policeman J. F. Lshan- Varese was charged in the police court at Hartford with assault with intent to kill.
 It was said at the hospital that Mrs Varese had d fairly comfortable night and it IS believed she has a chance for Her wounds consist of deep cuts across both sides of the face, cut on the neck and another on the leg. besides smaller cuts on other parts of her body.
 Family Trouble Before.
 The cutting followed long series oI domestic troubles between MT and Mrs. Varese. On July 22, at the pumping station in Hartford, Wares was shot at a number of times by Dorado Ballassai. The bullets were all wide of the mark with the exception 0; one, which broke the skin on the top of Varese's head, Ballassai was ar rested and was held for the superior court on 8 charge of assault with in tef2t to kill His case was nOlled in the hig41 court and he was ordered de- ported,
 The shooting was inspired by previ- GUS troubles between Varese and Bal :. Iassai when the latter left Hartford in company with Mrs. Varese. The couple were arrested in Waterbury and Bal lassai was fined S20 and costs. The woman was released in charge of he" husband and they have been living to- gether spasmodically since that time.
 The Cutting.
 Policeman Lehan was standing at State and Front streets shortly after 3.3O Tuesday morning when his atten- tion was directed to screams coming rom the Callandrillo tenement. He entered the front doorway and encoun- tered VareSe. Lehan immediately placed him under arrest, and, assisted by Policeman SterZing, started an in vestigation of the origin of the cries. The policeman took a .S2 calibre re- volver from Varese's pocket, although the prisoner had denied he was armed

sion, he said: We don't mind the loss of the apples, but you boys should know that they were prepared for consumption in the Arctic seas where food lasts a long time and you must be careful not to drink any water for 24 hours after eating them, for if you do they will swell up in you and you will bust" Our youthful fears were so great at this threat that we care fully abstained from drinking until next day, when we told the story to our parents and were greeted with shouts of laughter at the sailors yarn which had punished our theft,

Cameron was quick to acknowledge
the possibility of such method.
And the cord. you mean, led down
behind the book-shelves, and perhaps
through n Window" he suggested.
Precisely. And was pulled by some
one on the outside"
Yes" he said, thoughtfully. "Such
an explanation is not unreasonable.
The thing, really, must have been
done in some such way"
And don't you see." I hurried on
with my advantage. how utterly
cheap this makes the whole affair?
There's nothing at all Impressive in
that performance when you find out
how it was done. II the next demon
stration Is no better than such clap
trap. you may rest assured you have
a very picayunish sort Of mountebank
villain to deal with. So, cheer up, my
dear man. and I'll show you few
tricks at tennis that may be equally
eye-opening."
Unquestionably my friend appeared
relieved. But l came to fancy later
that the appearance was feigned for
my benefit. Certainly he was not con-
WINGED. and in that proved himself
possessed OF an intuition. a world
more accurate than my own.
