CATTLE QUARANTINE DOES
 NOT AFFECT POULTRY
Fear of Short Turkey Market for
 Thanksgiving Removed.

Approximations of Connecticut mar ketmen as to a short turkey market for Thanksgiving and Christmas on account of the quarantine placed on fourteen states because of the foot and mouth disease, will be removed as soon as they learn of the an- nouncement from the government department of agriculture, made Friday, according to Washington dispatch, that the cattle quarantine does not affect the poultry market and that poultry from the uninfected areas in the quarantined states can be moved freely without the least danger of spreading the disease. or of injuring the health of the consumer.
 The dispatch says Rhode Island. one of the states quarantined, can send out her Thanksgiving turkeys. although no cattle, sheep or swine can leave her territory The depart ment admits. it is said, that poultry can carry the germs. and that local authorities exercise their own dis crition relative to restricting ship ments of product from the area in the vicinity of an infected farn, but adds:
 These areas are so limited in ex- tent, however, that the amount of poultry that may thus be prevented from reaching the Thanksgiving mar ket is an appreciable percentage of the total supply.

COLLEGE BUILDINGS FINISHED
 BY FIRST OF AUGUST
First Group Will be Ready for open-
 ing in September

The first group of buildings at the new Connecticut College for Women will Do completed at New London about the first of August, giving over a month in which to install furniture and equipment prior to the opening of the college in September. Plans for a temporary power and heating plant have been prepared by the architects and 1t is probable that such a build Ing will be constructed, although it has not yet been ordered by the trus-
 The matter of a refectory or dining hall is also undecided. It was hoped If possible to erect such a building in .conjunIGon with the others of the first group, but lack of funds made 1t inn possible at the time. In the event that DO structure is erected for this purpose prior to the openingg of the institution, it is possible that two nWeiling houses now owned by the col lege standing not far from the first group will be utilized!
 At the present time Plant hall is completed up to the water table on all sides. The science building is expected to reach the same stage this week. Blackstone hall is well under way although not so far advanced as the other structures.
 All Rhe work is we'll on schedule time. The condition of the weather will make but little difference to the progress of the work now. The old theory as to the danger of doing cement work in freezing weather has been pretty gen. erally exploded and rain or shine, hot oi cel1, the college buildings will go on their way.
 Native granite from the Bolles quarry and Indiana bun limestone constitute the exterior building mater ials. The combination is a most pleas ing one and its selection is a conHsAi- ment to the taste. and judgment of the architects.

The greater number of those who left their places, upon being assuxed there was no dan ger returned to their eeats.

HUCKSTER LOSES WAY
IN SNOW; IS FROZEN
So BADLY HE DIES
Found Huddled Over Dashboard
With Sleigh Half Buried
, in Drifts
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND
All Efforts to Revive Old Man Fail;
Horse Trots
Home
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND

Huddled over the dashboard of his
sleigh on the Shellsville- Palmyra road,
Benjamin Humer, aged 73, Shells
vile, was found so badly frozen early
yesterday morning that he died of ex-
posure about o'clock in the after
noon.
Humer's horse hitched to the sleigh
stood nearly shoulder deep in snow
drift, unable to proceed farther.
The old man, who was known all
over the lower end of the county as
a huckster. left Palmyra about
o'clock Wednesday evening. Until he
was discovered half buried in the snow
yesterday morning two miles below
Granville, his whereabouts were un-
known. 1t is believed he lost his way
in the dark, fioundered into the drift
and couldn't get out. And there. it is
believed, he sat until morning.
Oliver Hetrick, a farmer living a
short distance from the road, discov-
cred the stranded sleigh and uncon-
scious occupant about s o'clock. A
passing deliveryman helped Hetrick
carry the old man to the Hetrick
farm. The horse was cut loose from
the sleigh and, following It's usual Gus
tom, 1t plodded out of the drift and
trotted home.
Every possible effort was made to
revive the frozen old huckster, but he
never regained consciousness.
Humer is survived by his widow,
a daughter, Mrs. Young, Ephrata, and
son, Grant, proprietor of the Shells
vile Hotel. Funeral services will be
held Tuesday.

SMALLPOX CASES
SCARE BA|NBR|DCE
Outbreak Is Traceable to Woman
Who Came From Virginia
Four Weeks Ago

Marietta, Pa. Feb. .27.-Bainbridge
and Billmyer. Lancaster county towns
near here, are practically under tenn
porary quarantine on account of the
discovery of smallpox In families of
both places yesterday. DR.. ]. L. Now
cry, county medical inspector who
lives in Lancaster received a tele-
phone message to go to Bainbridge
and investigate suspicious case of
sickness. He found Mitchell Banks
had been suffering for two days. He
investigated further and found six
we'll developed cases in the neighbor-
hood The Banks case is said to be.
directly traceab1e to Carrie Robertson,
who came here from Falls Church,
Va, four weeks ago. She had the dis
ease when she came to Bainbridge and
still has it. Her husband works at
the Billmyer quarries, about a half
mile from Bainbridge, and they board
with family by the name of Timber
lake at cambridge.
DIR. Mowery found Mrs. Timberlake
and her youngest child i'll with the
disease Three other children of the
Timberlake family were at school in
the five-room school building at Balm
bridge. They had been vaccinated re-
Gently and do not have smallpox.
Their presence at the school, however.
exposed the other pupils to contagion
and the entire building is closed and
will be fumigated. The schools will
be reopened on Monday morning If
there are no further developments.
All the families affected have been
quarantined and the members will be
vaccinated. DR.. Mowery has appointed
DR.. Worth, of Bainbridge, as smallpox
physician and he will begin a general
vaccination to-day
Dr. Mowery fears a general out
break and will take every means to
prevent the spread of the disease.
When Banks was sent for to go
home he hailed a man passing in
sleigh and asked him to take him
along Without knowing he had
smallpox he consented and exposed
himself to the disease. DR.. Mowery
vaccinated him and fumigated his
sleigh.

Wright Does Not Believe
Flight Can Be Made
By Associated P,ess

New York, Feb. 27.-With the avia-
tion industry of the country in his
power, according to court decision,
Orville Wright, here from Dayton. yes
terday indicated the terms on which
his competitors will be permitted to
continue In business. He named ST.
OO0 for each machine as a possible
basis of royalty charges.
On the possibility of the Wanama-
ker-Curtis proposed transatlantic
flight Mr.. Wright is not so optimistic
as many of his contemporaries. He
does not believe that the aeroplane
has advanced in efficiency to the point
that would enable 1t to carry the fuel
needed to cross the ocean in single
flight. IF 1t is done they must alight
on the way to renew their fuel sup
ply was his comment.
Mr. Wright declared that it would
be necessary for the building of the
oversee air craft to obtain a license
for its construction from the Wright
company.
