HARTFORD DOCTOR JUMPS BAIL, HIS
 BOND FORFEITED

Hartford, Dec. 16-The case of the government against Dr. Jacob w. Hor- ter, Dr. Frederick H. Latterner and Louis Latterner, all of this city, was to have gone on trial in the United States district court today but Judge Edwin S. Thomas was told before the opening of court today by M.B B. Hatch, counsel for Horter, that his client had decamped in the night, accompanied by his wife and there is nothing known of his whereabouts.
 Judge Thomas ordered Deputy Mar shaI Hawley to get the bond of $1, 900 and it was declared forfeited. A. G. Nystrom, of this city, was Dr. Horter's bondsman, but the court was inform ed that the Iatterners would repay the money to NEr. Nystrom- They were in court and expressed the hope that the fugitive would be apprehended.
 The Iatterners and Dr. Horter are accused of conspiring to use the United States mails in a scheme to defraud prospective medical patients. MT. Hatch told Judge Thomas that Dr. Horter, who is 55 years old, is very nervous and has been terribly wrought up over his arrest and may not have a sensible reason for flight. The three accused have been in busi- ness in Hartford for some time.

TONE IN STEEL MARKET IS
 AID TO STOCKS

New York, Dec. -Opening-H1gheF prices were quoted for the speculative stocks at the opening today, but the improvement was offset by renewed weakness among investment shares. American Telephone rebounded sharp ly from yesterdays low level, advanc- ing 1 3-4 New Haven rose 1-2. The advance was utilized for marketing a variety of investment stocks
 Canadian Pacifis lost 1 1-2 and H. Enois General dropped ? 1-4 to the years low point. Pullman, Harvester and General Electric were neavy- The decline in these stocks affected the whole market which receded from the opening level. American Telephone lost it's early advance.
 Noon-Indications pointed to a stronger technical conditions and led to a notable improvement. Attempts to cover disclosed 8 scarcity of stocks and prices of many issues mounted a point or more in short order.
 Reports of g, better tone in the steel market and the decrease in European copper supply furnished a basis for bulIish operations but trading on the long side was not active. American rose 1-2 and New Haven 1 Is. Bonds were firm.

Bridgeport First
 In Health And
 End In Numbers

First in health and second in popu- lation, is the way the State Board of Health sees Bridgeport. Giving the city a population Of 111,371, it finds fewer deaths and fewer cases of con tagiouS diseases in November than the figures disclose for the same month in Hartford, New Haven or Waterbury.
 There were 314 births in Bridgeport in November and 132 marriages. Twen- ty-two babies less than one year old died. Thirteen children whose ages ranged from 1 to years died and for ty-one persons of more than 13 years of age died.
 The cases of infectious diseases re- ported for the month were: Measles 40, scarlet fever 6, in1antile paralysis ?. diphtheria and croup 26, whooping cough 1, typhoid fever 3, consumption Il.
 The report is signed by John H. Townsend, M D., secretary of the board. In closing his report he calls attention to the epidernics of smallpox which have occurred at Naugatuck and WilIimantic-
 vaccination and vaccination alone will prevent smallpox he declares in closing his report.

RESTORE WATER
 SUPPLY TO TAMPICO

Washington, Dec. 16-Rear Admiral Fletcher has today reported to the Navy Department that conditions at Tampico are again normal. The water supply, cut off by the rebels, has been restored The rear admiral reports that the rebels have returned a. con- siderable distance towards the city. Army and navy officials here believe that the attack will be renewed as soon as the rebels get their artillery from Victoria.
 A stiff north wind has prevented the transfer of the American refugees from the battle ships to the Ward line steamship Morro Castle. This trans fer will probably be effected today. The Morro Castle and the Kronprin- zessin Cecilie, of the Hamburg Amer jean line, are to go to Vera Cruz with all those who desire to leave Tam pico.

INHERITANCE TAX
 MAY BE AFFECTED BY COURT FINDINGS

Washington, Dec. 16-The power of the states to hold safe deposit com panies responsible for the inheritance tax on possessions slowed away in the boxes of patrons was before the supreme court for consideration to- day. It is said the decision may affect every safe deposit company in the country but only those in Illinois are directly concerned in the case
 The National Safe Deposit company of Chicago, through it's attorney, has taken the position that the clause in the Illinois inheritance tax law pro- hibiting safe deposit companies from delivering to the representatives of a deceased patron the contents of boxes without retaining a sufficient amount to pay the tax is unconstitutional.
 It is said the law impairs the obh- gation of contract between the com pany and it's depositors because at no time may the company acquaint it. self of the contents of the boxes. At torney General Lucy of Illinois, on the other hand, contends that the state has right to be advised at the time of the death of a resident, of the extent of his property, otherwise it would be deprived in many eases of it's interest in the estate.

 By Wilson's s Act
Promised Probe of Carabao Dinner Stirs Military
 Circles to Depths

Washington, Dec. 16-Oficers of the Order of the Carabao sent assurances to administration officials today that they entertained no spirit or purpose of hostility to President Wilson's Phil ippine policy when they gave their dinner last week and gave travesties and satires on members of the cabinet and other public officials. Rear Admiral Howard, honorary president of the order, today repudiat- ed the work Of the press agent who furnished advance stories about the dinner which declared that what was said and done was designed to show the Hack of sympathy on recent de- velopments and tendencies in the Phil ippine government Admiral Howard said neither he nor any other officer knew such state ments were being given out. Brig General Aleshire, Brig. General Mo Intyre and Admiral Howard conferred with Secretary Garrison today and promised to furnish a report of what occurred at the banquet. President Wilson's order for an in vestigation of the affair has created a great commotion in army and navy circles.
 The complete text of the "Insurrec- tor'' song which was sung at the Car abar dinner is given herewith. It was written at the time when the Re- publican party controlled the policies O4 (4AC 4A4AAppA1ACos In that land of dopy dreams, happy,
