Editorial Comment
The Prospects With Regard to Thaw.

6New York Tribune.3
Canada is likely TO send Thaw back to
this country as an undesirable alien just
as this country sends back insane per-
sons who arrive from abroad. Ii he is
put arcoss the border into New York
seize him and bring him back TO Mattea-
wan. If he is returned to the point at
which he entered into Canada he will
be out of the jurisdiction of the New
York State authorities, but he Will no
doubt be arrested in New Hampshire and
can be secured and brought to New York
under Indictment for some offence con-
neeted with his, escape. So there APP
pears to be every likelihood that he Will
soon be back in custody at Matteawan
When he is there again the carelessness
which resulted in his escape should
cease The strctest confinement should
be his lot in the future. The law which
permits plotters to hold private converse
with him in the asylum should be
changed The law which permits him To
require the courts to retry his case at
frequent intervals should be changed.
And the states generally should agree to
extradite fugitive criminal insane per-
sons. just as they extradte other crimi-
nails Society needs to be better protect
ed fom homicidal mapiacs like Thaw
than il now is.

The Accused Thaw Money.

tNtW J ofk W uIlu.J
Was there ever a greater curse than
the Thaw money? 1t has been an ainie-
ton to its possessors from the first. Al
has burdened society with profiigacy.
scandal and crime. For several years 1t
has been shamelessly used to defeat JUS
tice, to nullify law and TO corrupt the
authorities of a great state.
II Harry Thaw had been born poor he
nigh. today have been worthy man.
1t not heredity that made him what
he is It was money. Money caused him
to be an idler; money led him into evil
associations: money distorted his views
of right and wrong: money enabled MN
to contaminate others: money at last
gave him the vices which unhineed him
and added murder to the long list of ms
offenses.
Having ruined Thaw and others ana
carried him into the very shadow OF the
executioner the Thaw money then
cursed and degraded the State of New
York at two trials that brought justice
into contempt and scandalized our courts
throughout the world. 1t was the Thaw
money that saved him from the death
penalty; it was the Thaw money That
maintained a protracted contest In the
courts to overthrow the judgment OF IN
sanity by which his life had been saved
it was the Thaw money that schemed
ceaselessly for a release which could not
be had by legal means.
In the escape from Matteawan has the
Thaw money gained one more triumph
over law? Is the Thaw money to go
hand in hand with the fugitive into re-
mote states and countries, always at war
with decency. always in conflict WIN
society. always tempting, buying ana
debauching the weak and the viciousE
The Thaw money Is curse because l.

half it has been able to degrade even

ALIVE WITH SHAD.
Connections River Tributary Showed
 Plenty of Fish.

The shad fishing season began Thursday in all Connecticut waters except the tributaries below Middle town. Evidently the shad were aware of this fact, for a week or so pre- ViOuS to the open season Salmon river cove seemed to be literally alive with them, according to fishermen who as it were says the Connecticut Val lev Advertiser. Last Sunday evening about sundown visitors at Leesville had a chance to see the shad sport ing in the river From where the rapids end just below the bridge down beyond Mr Erricson's place, shad were having the time of their lives
 The water along this stretch is only two or three feet deep and about three or four rods wide Great schools of fish, darting hither and thither, sometimes scOoting along the edge of the bank, showing their shiny sides as they splashed in the shallow places kept the water in a turmoil. To those unacquainted with the movements of shad their agility was surprising, shooting through the water with al- most the rapidity of trout, kicking up big wake and making the water swell as they sharply turned about. This is no fish story, as the writer saw it with his own eyes, as did many others. One man could not resist the temptation to cast a fly. but the shad would not bite Another man at tempted to hook one with garden rake but he was also unsuccessful. The shad frequently go up as far as the dam and sometimes have been seen in the tail-race below the power house of the East Haddam Electric Light Go.

EXTENSION IS GIVEN
 TO EAST LYME ROAD.
Charter Rights to Dec. i, 1914-Can
 Build East Lyme Addition.

Senator Peck of Bedding. chairman of the railroad committee, was back in the senate on Tuesday and moved to take from the foot of the calendar the charter amendment of the New London and East Lyme Street Rail- way company, which will permit to build from Flanders to the new Con- necticut river bridge. The senate passed the bill containing it. As pass ed, it is in about the form in which it was introduced, so far as this eXten- sion is concerned: other features have been cut out.
 An important and interesting fact connected with the matter is the peti- against this trolley extension, which was signed by President Wilson, among others, on the ground that the beauty and charm of the village would be ruined by the trolley eXten- sion.
 Senator Peck made mention of this petition to the senate and of MT. Charwick's strenuous opposition. He said, however, that the committee had unanimously agreed that the petition of the company should be granted.
 The bill extends the charter rights as to this extension to Dec. l, 1914. It provides for building the new line from the intersection of Lyme street with the new road to the Connecti- cut river bridge through Lyme street to the highway leading to the old fer ry and along said highway to the Neck road, so called, and along that to the new road and thence to the bridge.
 An important section forbids the New London and East Lyme to go south of the New Haven roads tracks in East Lyme in order to prevent the line to the shore resorts which has always been opposed by the summer cOttagerS

EGG YIELD IS LESS
 IN SToRRS CONTEST.
Leshorns Keep the Lead-Broody
 Season Has It's Effect.

Ehe total egg production at the in- ternational egg laying competition at Storrs is still being affected by the broody season, the birds laying only 2,099 eggs the past week, loss of 106 eggs in comparison with the yield for the previous week. First place is still taken by the Leghorns, all but one of the leading pens belonging to this breed The best record for the week was made by a pen of Single Comb White Leghorns belonging to A. P. Robinson of Calverton N. Y. This pen laid 30 eggs. Two pens tied for second place during the week with a credit of 29 eggs each. One was a pen or Silver Wyandottes owned by T. N. Burns of Brooman, Pa. and the other was a pen of Single Comb White Leg horns belonging to F. A. Jones of Northumberland, Pa. Three pens of Single Comb White Leghorns tied for third place. These belonged respective ly to L. B. Sands of IIawley, Pa. to the Rosewood Poultry farm Doyles town, Pa, and w l.. Sleeger of York, Pa. These pens each laid 2S eggs.
 The pen of Single Comb Rhode Isl and Reds belonging to Arthur $. Bailey of Cobalt, Ct still holds the record for continuously laying large eggs. The largest egg laid during the week, which weighed .19 pound. was laid by bullet belonging to MT. Bailey There were two unusually small eggs laid in the week One laid by a bullet be- longing to Mt.

MILK SITUATION HERE IS GOOD
Report Made to Common Council by Dr. D. j. Shahan Milk lnspector-2O0 Norwich Samples Stood Test We'll City Source of Milk Supply Described

' the fruit and candy stores. one in a drug store, two in meat markets, two in hotels and restaurants, five in gro cery stores. and 42 in milk wagons. Milk regarded by the state as very bad, and containing over 100000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, was ob- tained from two peddlers, one restau- rant, and two fruit and candy stores, the proprietors of the last named get ting their supply from another state.
 Milk "on the line and just within the law, was found in one drug store, one fruit and candy store, one market, four grocery stors, and five milk wag- ons.
 The ordinary causes of highly null tiplied bacteria in such samples are rise of temperature in the milk, un- clean milk vessels, age and dirt-con- ditions which may be averted with but little expense of money and labor. On the whole, however, we are getting good milk for our money, and faring much better, in like respect, than oth- CT cities of the state Our milk supply Is ample for our needs, though if de- pendent upon the resources in the limits of our town lines the city would come face to face with a milk famine in three days, without recourse to a use of milk in powdered or condensed form.
 Cream Supply.
 As for the cream supply, the largest producer in this vicinity, and making a speciality in that line. does not de- liver daily in his daily round to bus mess places here enough of the article to supply a good sized strawberry fes- tival.
 Where We Get Our Milk From.
 It may interest a few to learn that we have to get our milk from many places to satisfy the demand in this city. It comes to us from the towns of New London. Bozrah, Canterbury, Franklin, Griswold, Lebanon, Ledyard, Lisbon, Montville, North Stonington, Preston. Salem, Norwich. But these are not the only distributors. In li- censing some out of town creameries it has been learnd that the Wachustt cramery of Providence, R. l., ships us 120 quarts of heavy cream weekly; H. H. Palmer of Preston 1S0 quarts; the New London Dairy, from 1000 to 1,500 quarts of milk and cream weekly; the Lebanon creamery, about 800 quarts cream per week; while the AndOVer creamery alone has shipped here in eight months 8,700 quarts of cream.
 As to the amount of cream reserved by our neighboring farmers for the production of butter, your inspector does not care to estimate but believes that by far the larger percentage of all the cream finds it's way to our ta bles in the shape of milk
 In conclusion it may here be an nounced that he who has been ap- pointed to look after the sanitary well fare of this city, as far as the milk supply is concerned, stands ready at all times to note complaints from our citizens concerning it, and will be pleased to take samples for analysis from any milk dealer under suspicion.
 It may be added that the cattle in spected, together with the food and care they receive, are a safe guaran- tee of a good milk supply.
