CONSULTATIVE IN ADVANCED STAGES
 IN LODGING HOUSE
supt. Johnson Learns of Many Instances Where
 White Plague Is Spread

Within the last week more than a dozen cases of men afflicted with tub erculosis, whose only homes are the lodging houses of Bridgeport, have been reported to Superintendent John son of the charities department. The last one, John Finn, reported today. Finn is in the advanced stages of the disease. He has the ernaciated ap- pearance, the hectic flush and the dry choking cough which denote the suf- fer on whom the white plague has made sad inroads. He was poorly and thin1y clad.
 To Supt. Johnson this morning he explained that he mad no trade or occupation but gave his attention to any sort of manual labor he could find. He formerly lived in a boarding house but lately work has been scarce and he has been forced to take beds in cheap lodging houses where dozens of other men sleep in the same room or dormitory. Finn said his physical condition now was not equal to per forming the labor which he formerly did, and he was hard put to support himself. He had heard of the sana- toriun at Shelton and asked to be sent there.
 Supt. Johnson gave Finn letter which will admit him to the state hos pita1, also his carfare. Mir Johnson said he has had difficulty keeping men afflicted with this disease from frequenting and sleeping in lodging houses where many men are housed together and where the danger of con tagion is very great.
 It costs the state about SIP a week for each patient at the Shelton sani- torium yet many of the indigeft patti ents sent there, especially those sent from the lodging houses. soon tire of the hospital and it's treatment When the first opportunity presents itself they break away and come to Bridge port to get drunk. Their conduct not only 1essens their chances of recovery but tends to spread the disease among others.

MEXICANS ALLOWED TO SHIP ARMS IN
 REGULAR MANNER
Situ tion II Unprecedented Since Outbreak of
 Hostilities

Washington. Feb. 4-The right to ship arms and ammunition across the American boundary into Mexico through the regular channels of com merce today was extended to both the forces of the Huerta government and the constitutionalists, situation un- precent eded since the outbreak of the internal hosti1ities in that country in November, 1910.A
 The instructions went forth to cus- toms officials today, following the pro- |clamation Of President Wilson rais- ing the embargo on arms The bor- der patrol insofar as it has been pre- venting the smuggling of arms. now relaxes it's vigilance to some extent though it's services still will be re-. quired to prevent marauder bands from crossing the international line and in order to keep armed bands from moving back and forth from one coun- try into the other.
 The status of the arms question is unlike any situation that has hitherto existed. though its operation will re- sembIe more closely than anything fore the resolution of Congress of March IA, 1912, was put into effect, whereas the United States at that time permitted consignments of arms to pass through at those customs houses held by the regularly constituted gov ernment it allowed no shipments through other ports of entry, even though occupied for months by revo- lutionary forces. The constitutiona1- ists hold most df the customs houses on the Mexican side of the interna- tional line. The federa1s still occupy such points ass Nuevo Laeredo and Pedras Niegras but the constitutions alists now can ship arms without mo- Ilestation through Brownsville, Tex, to Matamoras, from Presidio, Tex, to Ojinaga, from Ell Paso to Juarez as well as at such important points as Douglas and Nogales.
 Whether every shipment of arms would have to be preceded by a per- init from the state department as has
 been the case in exceptions to the Joint resolution of March fl, 1912, heretofore, or whether the proclama- tion issued by, the President would
 merely restore the stafs.s of regulsr lconsignTnents through recognized
 ports of entry was a phase of the lsituation which it was expected would
 soon be worked out by government
 officials.
 The disposition of a large quantity
 of ammunition seized on the border
 destined for the constitutionaIists a1s l is to be decided by officials of the
 treasury and department of justice.
