CHARITIES BOARD IN SESSION, DISCUSS
 CASE OF DIR. DAVIS

A meeting of the charities board is scheduled late today when 1t is be- 1seved an Investigation into the drop ping of Dr. G. A. Davis will be be- gun One or more of the commission CTS may insist on probing the affair
 with a view towards clearing the att mosphere of the undedned reports current as to personal enmfty on the part of persons outside the depart men&
 The question of ascertaining wheth- CT Dr. Parker expects to resume his office here is also likely to arise. It ag the general belief that Dr. Parker contemplates locating in another city.
 Local predictions are to the effect that Dr. c. A. Hale, now substituting for pr. Pratt, will be a candidate that may be favora7bly considered His ap- posntmenf today is not likely in view of the absence in Europe of Comnis- sHoner J. MacLAren Richardson, as well as the fact that Dr. Parker has not been officially notified that his leave of absence will expire unless he informs the board of his intentions

city, special officers should be main tained by the railroad company 50 keep passengers from the tracks. and from jumping upon trains while in motion. Such an area is open at the present station that1t makes the city.s. official representative unable to do. more than keep the peace. Adequate. protection against injury would re- quire at least two more officers and surprise is expressed that the com pany has not long since seen fit to detail men for that purpose.
 A new phase of danger which has but recently become apparent and which has already caused several near fatalities is the running for trains equipped with the new 1900 engines. With super-heated steam jackets. these engines are capable of gaining d high rate of speed within a little more than cars length. The old practice of running from the door way to catch train in motion is no longer feasible, nor Is the waiting for a car to pass that the rear platform may be gained. This almost surely results in the passenger being thrown to the platform. Officers are kept busy dragging back passengers who seek to take the chance. The public is warned as to this danger.

 When asked to state whether com puTsorv methods would be taken to secure fhe needed information, Coroner PheIan refused to discuss the ques- ton, saying that the future alone could decide but that he believed President MeIIen would volunteer the necessary facts So far withheld.
 That the matter of signals, opera ffon of trains and the make up of ears and trackage on the New Haven were being fully investigated, came to light today when it was learned that the coroner spent Saturday and Sunday in New York city in confer enca with rafIroad experts on these subjects

 The act is duly attested and signed but members oil the Bridgeport delegation to the General Assembly clare TT IS NOT THE BILL WHICH ACTUALLY WENT TH-1UGH THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

 The measure has sent to Auditor Heating provides that $2O0O00 may be expended in year It provides for aye year duration of the notes 1t makes no Tvf- sion terms to place the work spending the money in the hands of the permanent paving commission.

Said a member of the Bridgeport delegation. today: s'The measure, a copy of which has been sent to City Auditor Keating, is not the measure which passed the House.
 s'The, measure in the auditors hands Is Senate Bill 271. The bill which actually passed the House was sub- stitute for Senate Bill 271, favorably reported by the committee on finance. and printed in the House File as bill 470.
 The measure which MT. Keating has was never so much as printed in the House file.
 ."The difference between the two bills does not materially affect any item ex- cept the $200,0O0 for paving bonds Certain protection to the people of with respect to the paw ing bonds was included in the substi- tute, that did not appear in the or igina1 bill.
 Gs~The ofHce of the highway commits sioner was being investigated. The evidence had shown certain close re- lations between that office and the makers or a pavement called Warren Lte There were rumors, which reach ed the representatives from Bridge port, that certain Bridgeport politi- clans were interested in Warrenite, and that one of the purposes of the paving bill was to aid Bridgeport i'm -enite people. The especial advocates 1f the bill were exceedingly anxious that all powers relating to the mat ter should be in the common coun- .u. For these reasons the represen- .atives attempted to provide that not more than half the whole sum should De spent in one year. The reason

for this was that no more than s100. GOO could be used advantageousIy dur ing the season, and it would limit the amount that could be contracted away by one administration.
 'It was further provided that not more than half the whole sum should be expended for pavement not per manent pavement.
 ''Warrenite is not a permanent pave ment.
 "It had been noted that the origl had been very carefully drawn, SO that all the money might be spent for pavement that would not be perman- eEt.
 '.This change was intended as an additional protection against a War renite deal.
 AS a further protection the desisna- tion of the kind Of pavement to bsl used was given in terms to the Per manent Paving Commission, which was deemed free from influence from the suspected source

 The two bills, Senate Bill 271 andt the substitute therefor, are given be- low.
 The pertinent paragraphs are in Sec~i ton 2 of each bill. The reader should compare these sections, if he desires to grasp the diff ference between the bill as it passed the House and the measure certified to Auditor Keating as the law.

FLOUR FIGHT TAKEN
TO SUPREME COURT
Government Seeks to Con-
denim Flour Bleached
by Electricity

Washington. May 1.-THE hight for
pure -four has been carried to the su-
preme court by the department of JUS
tice. Attorney General McReynods and
Assistant Attorney General Adkins have
filed with the court an application for a
review OF the decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals. which
denied the right of the government to
condemn flour bleached by electricity or
the Alsop process. The controversy turns
upon the inner portion of that section
of the pure food and drugs act which
declares that an article shall he deemed
adulterated If it contain any added pol
sonous ingredient which may render such
article injurious to health. The govern
ment claims that the law forbade the
addition of any poisonous ingredients to
an article even though the quantity be
minute and the resulting injury TO health
from the particular article incapable of
measurement. The circuit court of APP
peals held that the poisonous ingredient
must be added in such quantity that
there is a possibility of injury to health.
The construction put upon the law by
the circuit court of appeals will render
the statute difficult, if not impossible. of
enforcement, according to the Attorney
General.

impressed upon the general board and

auxiliary craft.
