SAILORS FIGHT THREE DAYS TO
 FLOAT VESSEL

San Francisco. Sept. 25.-with one man missing and the crew exhausted from a three days fight to keep the vessel af1oat during a storm, the cod fishing schooner City of Papette' ar rived in San Francisco harbor last night in a, battered condition.
 The schooner sailed from here a week ago for Unga, Alaska, under Captain Prellberg, with a cargo of supplies for the Alaska fishing sta tions, a crew of il men and 22 fisher men.
 The gale hit the vessel, Sunday, 125 miles out and 1p-ended the craft. The deck cargo shifted and the seams rip ped before the schooner could be righted.
 Anthony Caddickar, a sailor, was washed overheard and was not seen again.
 Extra pumps were. rigged up and the men stood by in shifts to keep the little vessel af1oat while struggling back to port

ROBERTS CONTEMPLATEs
 S3,OOO,O0O BOND ISSUE
 FOR EXPENSES OF STATE l .IfE1-S 1

Hartford, Sept 25.-Edward s. Rob erts, state treasurer, is considering the advisability of issuing $3,0O0,0O0 of state bonds. Early in the summer the state treasurer raised enoagh money to cover current expenses until the receipts from the state tax were avail able with the intention of issuing ad- ditiona1 bonds as soon as the market seemed fairly favorable. The bonds will pay 4 per- cent. interest. s7ss
 The last issue of state bonds was in January, 1912, when State Treasurer Costello Lippitt issued a series to the amount of $4.OO0,000. The premium paid at that time was one-sixteenth. The bond market was somewhat un- satisfactory then, because the state of New York hoated an issue of bonds but a week before the Connecticut bonds were placed on the market.
 The bonded indebtedness of the state will amount to $7,O00OO0 when the new securities have been hoated. The state treasurer has the power under the law, as amended by the last Legislature, to issue bonds to an amount not greater than $1O, 100000.
 It is not believed that the state will gain in revenue as much as was ex- pected by the increase of the rate of taxation on steam and electric rail- ways from 10 to Il mills, owing to the depreciation in the value of the rail- road securities.
 The amount of revenue from taxes on other public service corporations is

WOMAN PHARMACIST WANTS
 HER LICENSE RESTORED

A plea for the restoration Of the pharmacy Hcence of Mrs. Wilma M. Robertson, who conducts the Woman's s drug store in Main street. was made before a, special meeting of the Con nectfcut Board of Pharmacy held in the Common Council chamber yester- day. The members of the board pres eRt were c. P. Gladding of Hartford, James P. Woods of New Haven, and J. A. Leverty of Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Robertson's license was sus- pended in December after complaint that a boy who had become addicted to the use of heroin had procured the drug at Mrs. Robertson's store The complaint was made by the father of the boy. Attorney c. H. Shapiro ap- peared for Mrs. Robertson and ex- plained that the alleged sale of the heroin was before the law against the sale of the drug went into effect. Near ly a year having Elapsed he asked that her license be restored. The board took the matter under consideration
 The board also heard evidence in the cases of Maxwell Simon of Danbury, found guilty in the Danbury police court of having sold liquor on Sunday and fined $1O0 and of A. M Kaehr1e of Bantam, who is also accused of an excise violation. Simon has taken an appeal from his conviction in the po- lice court. The board considered .the evidence in executive session and will report on the eases later.
 Twenty-one men and two young wo- men took the examinations for licenses as assistant pharmacists.

 IN TREATMENT
 OF DETECTIVES

Pittsburgh, Sept. 25-ttThe treat nsnt of degeneracy in neighborhoods'' was the subject discussed at last nights session of the National Fedora tion of Settlements, in conference here.

She took for her subject the agitation of plans of segregation, sterilization by surgical operations and a radical proposal "of a slow and easy death for defectivea''
 Extremists were condemned.
 Miss Farrell said it is not. in accord with Christian principles, justice or equity to sterilize or kill the defec- tives. She said that under certain conditions, sterilization is desirable and proper. She maintained little is known on the subject of treating de- fectives and that all steps must be conservative. A discussion followed Miss Farre1Ps remarks with the pre- ponderance of opinion favoring. Miss Jane Addams, of Chicago, agreed with Miss Farrell in that there is little known of how to treat defective chill dren and urged prudence.

 MANY MILLIONS
 BY WHITE GRUBS

Washington, Sept. 25-Crops in Illin- ois, Iowa and Wisconsin suffered to the extent of $7,Oo0,ooO last year, from the attacks of common white grubs while the damage to corn, timothy and potatoes in other infested areas of the country north of the Ohio river from the Atlantic ocean to South Dakota was at least 5000, 900, so that the to- tai loss, last year, from this cause was not less than $12,OOO, 900, according to nservative estimate made by John J. Davis, of the Limited States bureau of entomology. Observations seem to make it certain, he said, in reporting his findings, that in the northern states the total life cycle of this in furious species in three years.
 May beetles were unusually album dant in 1908 and 1911 and the grubs caused the greatest damage in 1909 and 1912. He advises farmers in the regions infested, last year, to blow deep, this fall, the best time ordin- ari1y being between October 1 and 15.,

 Tt cannot be too strongly impress ed upon railroad employees that they are most strictly bound to comply with all safety rules provided by the railroad for their guidance.
 Our reference to the management of this railroad in the past, of course, has no application to the new presi- dent, who was confronted with this accident on the day he took charge.
 ''The density of traffic on this rail- road requires an adequate block sys- tenn, and until the system now being installed between Springfield and New Haven is available for use an adequate method of providing a, proper space interval between trains should forth with be placed in operation.''

VAsSAR BANIsHEs BUTTER
College Authorities Also Put 6
 Ban on Cotton Mattresses.

Poughkeepsie. Sept 25.-After a years study of the health situation at Vassar College, the authorities have decided that cotton mattresses and butter are not. conducive to good health, and as a result butter is barred from the table. and hereafter the girls will sleep on hair mattresses.
 The girls are astonished at the new order, and many a pretty face was puckered up with an expression of dis gust at the butterIess bread today. There is. much talk of a formal protest against the rule.
 During the summer vacation the au- thorities at the college hauled out all the cotton mattresses and burned them.
