1888 INSTITUTIONS FOR
CARE OF DELNQUENTS
Biennial Report Made by State Board
of Charities.

Printed copies of the last biennial
report of the state board of charities
have been left in the office of the
comptroller for distribution.
The report says that with an esti-
mated population of 100000 there
are 1873 institutions maintained for
the restraint and care of delinquent,
defective and dependent classes
Two notable additions to the list
of Connecticut institutions were made
during the biennial period by the
opening Of the Connecticut reformatory
at Cheshire in June, 1913, and the
Colony for Epileptics at Mansfield De-
pot, in May, 1914. THE reformatory, -
says the report, provides an excellent
institution for the treatment of Of
tenders between Is and % years Of age
for whom there is some hope of re-
generation. The Colony for Epileptics,
with its limited initial capacity of so
patients is already proving it's useful
ness
The report says of the hospitals
in the state: THE general condition
of these benevolent institutions
throughout the state shows a high or
der OF excellence in equipment, man
agement and the care of PATIENTS
In commencing the condition of the
state prison at WethersfieId the re-
says:
THE biennial period under review
has been marked by a number of
improvements at the state prison, both
in the discipline Of the inmates and
in the material condition of the in
stitution. Several innovations in the
treatment Of the prisoners have been
introduced which are in line with the
growing tendency among modern pris-
ons to grant such reasonable privileges
as are not Inconsistent with the main
tenance of good discipline. Among
them may be mentioned liberty to talk
during the monday meal. certain i'm
provenents in the arrangements for
bathing and clean clothes, the develop
ment Of the prisoners orchestra and
the library and the discontinuance of
the practice of carrying firearms by
the inside guards.
No officer is allowed to strike a
prisoner except in self defense"

CONSTRUCTING FLOOR UNITS
AT STATE PIER
Entire Work Will Require About Two
Months More.

One Of the most notable develop
ments in the progress of the big new
terminal pier at New London is the
walling in Of the outer end, which will
be finished in a few days. This will
completely surround the filed area.
with solid granite wall, ready for the
pumping in of dredged material. The
water within the enclosed space will
be forced out as the heavier substance
Is pumped in.
The chief feature of the activities at
the present time is the construction
of the massive concrete floor units
which will constitute the surface of
the pier. Nearly 100 men are now
engaged in this work and in laying
the units after they have dried out a
sufficient number of days. The con-
tractor has increased his equipment
so that now he is able to turn out
an average of 20 units a week.
A total Of about $50 will be required
for the entire pier and of these more
than $50 have been constructed and
laid Thus at the present rate of
output, the whole number will be COM
pleted within a. period of about two
months. A layer Of asphalt placed over
the units will give a. smooth, per-
manent surface4to the pier.
The railroad trucks which will run
in a. double line the length of the
pier will be sunk SO that the doors
Of cars will be on a. level with the
freight platforms, thus greatly facili-
tating the work Of loading and I'M
loading.

CAN TRANSFER EPILEPTIcS
FROM COUNTY HOMES.
Opinion on Law Given by Attorney
General Human.

Attorney General George E. Human
gave an opinion Monday to DR.. Donald
L. Ross, superintendent of the Con-
necticut colony for epileptics, relative
to his power to remove a. patient suf-
fering from epilepsy to the Connecti-
cut colony for epileptics by transfer
from a county home, of which institu-
ton the patient was an inmate, having
been committed thereto by order OF the
probate court. The opinion reads:
The general subject of transfers of
this nature has been covered in two
former opinions given you by this de-
partment dated June IL, 1914, and Feb.
10, 1915, and the situation in the pres
ent case appears to be similar, in most
respects, to that covered by the last
mentioned opinion. However, section
10 of chapter 207 of the public acts of
1909, under which such transfers are
made, provides that epileptic patients
may be transferred from any institu-
ton in the state upon the recon-
mendation of the medical Superintend
ent of the respective institutions from
and to which it is desired to transfer
such patients"
The county home in question has no
medical superintendent, in the gener-
ally accepted sense of the term, but l
do not think that the lack of an official
bearing this specific title should or
need prevent the operation of the law
in such a case.
Section 2759 of the general statutes
provides that if, ''iu the opinion of the
board of management of any such
home acting under the advice of the
physician employed by it, any child
admitted to such home be demented,
idiotic, or suffering from an incurable
or contagious disease, such child shall
| be removed from the home in the man
ner therein specified.
In my opinion a physician SO en-
| ployed by the board of management
may properly, for the purpose of such
| transfer as that under consideration,
| be regarded as the medical superin-
| tendent of the home, and that the fact
| that a transfer was so recommended
would not in itself render the trans
| fer invalid. 1t would not be improper,
however, and might be wise, as an ad-
ditional precaution, to refer any such
| application for transfer to the state
board of charities, as permitted by said
| section 10 of chapter POI of the public
acts of 1909, and the recommendation
of said board also secured before MAX
| ing the transfer
| I would further suggest that, while
there is no specific requirement in the
| law governing your institution to that
| effect, you notify the comptroller of all
| transfers made to and from the Con-
necticut colony for epileptics in like
manner as provided by section 2797 of
| the general statutes concerning trans
| fers between county homes and reform
| and industrial schools.

HARVARD CREWS COMING
IN ANOTHER WEEK
Monday, June 9TH, Is Time for Them
to Arrive at Gales Ferry.

Monday, June z. has been set, as the
date of departure for all the Harvard
oarsmen who are going to Gales Ferry.
The shells, coaching launches and
other equipment. will precede the men
on Saturday, so that everything will
be in readiness for the men to row
on the Thames on their arrival on
Monday. 1t has been decided that
the Junior race will be for second var
sity Fights rather than tours, follow
ing the changed custom of last year.
Harvard favored a return to varsity
tours, but Yale was opposed, and Har-
ward lost her point on a toss-up for
choice.
Accordingly the Harvard crews on
the Thames will be first and second
varsity, with perhaps enough substi-
tutes for the two to make a four-o
in addition; and a freshman eight and
four with enough substitutes to make
a second four. The three important
races on the programme are as usual,
the four miles for first varsity Fights,
and the two-mile events for freshman
Fights and second varsity crews. The
races Of the varsity and freshman
tours, made up of subs for the other
crews, and the race for gentlemen S
Fights, if one is arranged, are addi-
tional events of an informal nature.

and. is on real estate on Water street
where Margaret A. Driscol and Mary
J. Dorsey claim a lease of the prem
ises.
The second mortgage is for $1,000
on the same property and was given on
Aug. 1, 1894 by Loren R Jensen and
Anna NJ. Jensen to the plaintiff in this
case. The third mortgage is for $1,000
and was given on April 8, 1895, from
Jensen to Storrs.
Reuben Shapiro, who is the owner of
Shetucxet Coal and Wood company of
this city, and the joint owner with
Jacob Slosberg of one share, asks for a
receiver for the company and the
winding up of its affairs. The COM
pany's stock issue is 45 shares, par
500.
The plaintiff alleges that the cor
poration is under the control and
management of Jacob and Hattie SloS-
berg and that through the fraud and
collision of Jacob and Hattie Slosberg
the corporation has exceeded it's pow
erS in issuing and delivering in April,
1915, ten shares of the capital stock.
without the consent and authority of
the stockholders and against the pro-
test of the plaintiff.
1t is further alleged that Jacob Slos-
berg as secretary and treasurer and
his wife. Hattie Slosberg, who is presi-
dent of the company, have refused to
let the plaintiff see the books and have
grossly mismanaged the affairs of the
company so that the assets are in
danger of further waste under their
management Wrongful and fraudulent
actions are charged in issuing checks
and notes of the corporation.
