CONTROL OF POLLUTION
 OF STREAMS IN STATE
Urgent Need in Connecticut, Says
 Sta,e Board of Health.

Hartford, April 15.--Control of the pollution of the streams of the state is declared to be an urgent need in Connecticut by the state board of health In it's monthly bulletin issued today. It is admitted, the bulletin says, that Connecticut is behind other progressive states in the matter and here is a general demand that some thing should be done to prevent fur ther contamination. It continues:
 "GivinG the state board of health power to require a community to re- move it's sewage from a stream 1t may be polluting is objected to on the ground that such power may be abused. would be arbitrary or radical. Such objection would apply to any board or commission that has author ity for the betterment of conditions. Objections are raised by some man ufacturers against any bill that looks in the direction of purifying our water courses. based upon their manifest unreadiness to make any change in the disposal of factory wastes. These objectors fail to appreciate two facts,
  | wastes without contaminatiug the streams have been found feasible Tn | many places, and second, that it is agreed by all that the time will come | in the near future when the public | will enforce it's demand that sewage and factory wastes will not pollutc | the streams. This demand has arisen l practically all over the civilized world ;+ tuh S1 1at in n | in many states in this country and in | Europe.
 | Legislation Inevitable. ''The demand in Connecticut is l growing each year and legislation is l inevitable at some time. Experience l has shown that the longer the delay the more difficult becomes the solu- l tion and the more drastic the legisla - | ton. It would be less difficult and | less expensive to prevent further con | tamination of the river, If done at once. than to let the increasing con- l tamination go on a few years, when 1 if would be very difficult, and very expensive to bring them back to even 1 the present condition of purity. The public demand is increasing and the quicker it is recognized the less will
 
 ture.
 l To Assist Communities.
 s'The purpose of the bill before the legislature will enable cities and man ufacturers to so plan their waste dis posal that it will not be interferet with by future legislation. It will en able the state board to assist the com
 munities that are trying to solve thi
 problem, not to harm them. and a the same time to prevent further pol
 lution, and to look toward an i'm
 provement of present conditions a.

 the board of health, it has alway
 been found that it is used wisely ant

SUPERSTRUCTURF OF
 "A IS CAVED IN
Hull Of Sunken J. s. Submarine is Filled With Water.

Honolulu, April 15.-The super structure of the submarine F-4 is caved in and the hull is filled with water, probably from seepage, accord ing to report made by Chief Gun ner's Mate George D. Stillson, who late yesterday descended to the ocean floor and examined the wreck after Frank Crilly. a diver, had located 1t.
 Stillson, who made q partial sur vey of the hulk, reported that, aside from the damage to the superstruc- ture, he was unable to find any holes and that the top plates were not crushed in. One of the lines used by the searchers in their attempts to locate the F-4 had, fouled in the su- perstructure. Work was to be begun today, it was announced. to free the fouled line and to make others fast to the submarine. Two lines are already fast to the wreck.
 Depth of 2SS Feet.
 Neither Crilly, who was under water two hours, nor Stillson. who was submerged for an hour and a half, suffered ill effects, although according to official announcement by naval officers, the submarine is lying at a depth of 28S feet.
 Crilley went 2SS feet under water here yesterday andwalked along the top of the submarine F-4. The depth is said by naval officers to be q worlds diving record.
 He found the F-4 lying in smooth sandy bottom with no coral Growths to impede hoisting operations. She lay on her starboard side, her bow pointing shoreward.
 Ordinary Diving Suit.
 Crilley went down in an ordinary diving suit. and the re-compression chamber designed to reduce pressure on the diver was not used. Crilley was under water two hours. It took five minutes for him to make the descent, and he was on the bot tom twelve minutes. An hour and forty-1iVe minutes was required to bring him to the surface in order to accustom him gradually to the change in air pressure.
 Brittcn to Visit Scene. Congressman Fred A. Britten, of Illinois, who is in Honolulu, is cN- pected to visit the scene of operations as the guest of Rear Admiral Charles B. Moore commandant of the Hono- lulu naval station, to make observa tions to determine the possibility of raising the F-4 without rcsortinS to nontoon methods.
 A board of investigation, named yesterday by Rear Admiral Charles 1 B. T. Moore, commandant Of the Hon. olulu naval station. made an exami- l nation of the submarines Fl, F-2 and F-3, the remaining vessels of the 1 f1otilla stationed at Honolulu.

Increased During March, Miss Os-
 borne Says in Report.
NEW GIFT FROM J. s. DOUGLASS
Chestnut Street Philanthropist Gives Organization Forty Shares of American Hardware Corporation Stock

Despite all snticipations to the con trary, the New Britain Charity or ganization was forced to enlarge the scope of it's work during the month of March and the demands on it's bounty were increased. This state ment will come as a surprise to many who believed that the high water mark had been reached in January and that tho need for charity was de- clining as the summer drew near. That such is not the case is proved by the report of Elsie c. Osborne to the directors of the Charity organiza- ton at their meeting last night.
 Further philanthropy on the part of J. Spencer Douglass of Chestnut street was shown when 1t was an nounced that MT. Douglass had pre- scented the organization with forty more shares of American Hardware corporation stock. MT. Douglass is fast taking the lead in New Britain philanthropy and is doing as much as any individual to help the unfortu nate.
 Miss Osbornc's Report.
 An idea of the great work the Charity organization is doing can be gained from the report of Miss Os- borne, which Is as follows:
 Ut has been matter of some sur prise to us in making up the statis- tics for the month of March to find that instead of the slightest abatement in the need for charity, there has been instead an increase so far as the Char ity Organization work is concerned. We are hoping, however, that in tho coming month which will bring out door work for some of the men and ouse-cleaning for some of the women on our lists that the April bills will show a marked decrease. The bills for the month of March exceed the Jan uary bills by something over $50 and for the sake of our exchequer and al- so for the sake of prosperity for this city of which our expenditures in modest way from something of a ba rometer, we sincerely hope that the month of April will show much small Ter expenses.
