WalIingford, Conn. - The state Of
Connecticut. which has been priding
itself on the excellence of Its institu-
tons for the fight against tuberculosis,
has much to learn from Germany, ac-
cording to the report of DR.. Stephen
j. Maher of New Haven. chairman Of
the state tuberculosis commission.
DIR. Maher went to Berlin to attend the
recent conference. and his report TO
Governor Baldwin shows In what re
spects Connecticut Is remiss.
First of all he pleads for a seaside
sanitarium. Germany. DIR. Maher says,
leads the world in the number and
variety of its sanitariums. This is large
ly due to the fact that half or more OF
the population Is enrolled In sickness
and disability insurance companies;
hence II is advantageous to the organ
izations to cure their tuberculosis pa
tients as soon as possible.
American sanitarium equipment COM
pares favorably with that which DR..
Maher saw abroad. The German SAM

May EXHUME BODY
OF LATE CARDINAL
Wild Rumors Circulated Regard
Ing Death Of RampoIIa.

Rome, Dec. 29.-Officials of the
Vatican, as well as intimate friends
and relatives of the late Cardinal
Rampolla, denied emphatically rumors
put in circulation in certain quarters
in Rome of mysterious circumstances
surrounding the prelate's death.
They also declared there was no in
tention of exhuming his body for medi-
cal examination, as the cause Of
death had been already established.
The rumors in question are assum-
ed to have been founded on the dis
appearance of a small box supposed
to have contained private papers.
In spite of the denial given out at
the Vatican the Messagero, a popular
newspaper, says the exhumation of
the body of Cardinal Rampolla has
been ordered in consequence of the
suspicious aroused by his sudden
death and the disappearance of his
will.
