BURN EXCURSION STEAMER
 FOR THE MOVIE
Old Dorchester, Now at Thames River
 Yard, May Have Scenic End.

The old excursion steamer Dorches- ter, which is to be stripped of her metal and furnishings at the Riverside shipyard, in the Thames will probably end her career by furnishing scene for the movies.
 Five motion picture making con cerns are bidding for the exclusive right to burn the old excursion steamer, and photograph a tragedy to be enacted on her decks.
 It will be two months before she will be ready for her fiery end.
 The Dorchester. formerly docu- mented in Baltimore, was no sooner sold to the junk men than the scouts of the motion picture men were down upon them with tempting offers. Or dinarily after the hull of a steamer has been stripped of valuable metals and furnishings there is no further use for her, and it is some expense to dispose of what's left. But burn ing ships rarely come within range of the motion picture camera, and most of this kind of scenes have to be brought about by inventive stage managers.

pr. J. Torrneton Black Serves Notice
 on New London.

pr. J. Torrington Black, formerly of this city and now health officer of New London, has issued an ultimatum to that city. It is contained in a let ter addressed to Mayor Bryan F. Ma han, in which pr. Black recites in sub stance that in the event the bills for smallpox patients amounting to over s1,00O for the month of December, are not paid at the next meeting of the court of common council regualr or special, that he (Dr. Black) will forth with tender his resignation as health officer of said city of New London.
 Mayor Mahan has replied to tf0 ul- timasum by stating that the matter is not in his Jurisdiction, as the bills were referred to the committee on con rhe council Prior to sendnig the letter Health Officer Black is etated to have consulted legal advice.
 At the council meeting Monday evening the aldermen were somewhat startled by the presentation of several bills for the care of smallpox patients aggregating more than $1000. These iels. $35.40; maintenance of temporary hospital, commonly known as pest house, $524.62; expenses of Bessie Jackson, $446.04
 Some of the city fathers gasped when the figures were read and Mayor Mahan requested Alderman Small. chairman of the health committee, to repeat them which he did There upon Alderman Miner offered the fol- lowing motion: Tn view of the extra ordinary nature of these bills l sug- gest that their payment be deferred pending investigation, and I move that they be referred to the committee on contested claims
 Alderman Ryan seconoed the mo- tion and it was carried without dis senting voice.
