COMMISSIONERS OF. HEALTH WILL
 NOT BE CHANGED
Mayor Confers With Presi- dent Stevens-Both Mem
 bers to Return.
BOARD WILL ASK
 FOR NEW OFFICE
Also Will Seek Appropria- tion For Erection of New
 Slaughter House.

That Dr. Frank w. Stevens will be returned to the Aooard of health and that he will be reelected president of the board is now assured. While Mayor Wilson will neither affirm or the doctor it is known that the mayor and Dr. Stevens have been in consult tation on several occasions lately, one of the meetings taking place today. It is also reported on good authority that pr. David H. Monahan, the Dem ocratic member of the board, whose term expires January 1st.{ also will be reappointed.
 Members of the health board will ask the board of apportionment foR a large increase in their, appropriation, including $18,O00 or 900 for a new slaughter house. The present slaugh- ter house is inadequate and the mem bers of the board believe that if a new house can be located on a site adJa- cent to the railroad,j in Housatonic avenue, north of the new Read school, 1t can be made not only self-sustain- ing but money making institution for the city With the slaughter house close to kl1e raiIroad tracks it is believed it will draw patronage from nearby towns as we'll as from the He- brew butchers of this city who are the chief users of the abbatoir. IN
 It has also been suggested that the new slaughter house be located in the city yard convenient to where the new ice and cold storage plant is to be To- cated.
 , Among other things that the new board of health will. ask the board of apporttonment for will, be provision for the salary of another sanitary in spector The common council soon will be asked to pass an ordinance creating such an office <
 With the great increase in popula- ton which they expect to exceed 40,- GOO in the coming year, members of the health board feel that an addi- tiona1 inspector will be required and there will be an expense greater than in former years in the matter of con- serving the health of people who come to live in the newly developed sections of the city.
 For the last fiscal year the health board had a total of $765s76 to carry on the work of it's department. This year@the board will ask for nearly $15o.ooo including $2o,o.0e for the new slaughter house.

FRANK MILLER WILL BE NAMED VETERANS HEAD Banker is Unanimous Choice of Members of Elias
 Howe, Jr., Post.
SERVED WITH BRAVE
 BAND IN CIVIL WAR
Was in Thick of Fray At Petersburg and / Helped
 Man Famous Mortar.

Frank Miller, president of the City National Bank, and one of the most widely known business men in New England, will be elected commander of Elias Howe, Jr., Post, No. B. G. A.. R., at the meeting of the post Thursday afternoon at. o'clock.
 In e1ecting Comrade Miller the post will depart from it's usual custom of advancing officers by seniority and at the same time pay a tribute to MT. Mi1ler's war record and the many things he has done for the advance ment of the Grand Arply.
 MT. Miller is a charter member of Elias Howe post, which was the third Grand Army post in the state. AL though he has been asked a number of times to accept office he has al- ways declined. When a number of the members waited on him recently he only consented to have his name go before the post on the condition that other officers in line of promotion were satisfied.
 William N. Barnum, the present commander, does not desire another term Of office, and Senior Vice Com- mander James R. Vans is willing to take another term in his present po- sition, therefore Mir. Afiller's election will be unanimous.
 Other officers of the post, Junior Vice NCommander Charles E. Moore, Adjutant F. Fargo, Quartermaster Henry J. See1ey and Surgeon Alrnon H. French will be reelected.
 MT. Miller, who is to be the new commander of the post, served with ganantry in the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery during the Civil War He participated in every battle in which his regiment was engaged, the regiment being used sometimes as in fantry and at other times in manning g huge siege guns.
 At the siege of Petersburg he was 8 member of the detachment which manned the. Petersburg Express the huge mortar which threw great shells into the Confederate works. This Ei- gantic piece of armament now rests on a stone pedestal at the southeast ern entrance to the capitol grounds at Hartford, a monument to the regi- ment that handled it in the memora- ble conflict. It was largely through the efforts of MT. Miller that this nor tar was obtained from the war depart merlt. MT. Miller has taken an active interest in every movement to secure monuments, memorials and pensions for veterans of the Civil War. He has an acquaintance among the members of the Grand Army that is nation wide and hence his election as conn mander of the local post will be grat- flying news to his friends all over the country.
 Members of the post with members of Franklin Bartlett camp, No. il, Sons of Veterans, placed new flags on the graves of the dead soldiers in the various cemeteries in the city yester- day. t

BRITISH HOPE TO SAVE
 THEIR ALLIES IN SERBIA

London, Nov. 29-The British pub lie is not inclined to accept the Ger man contention that the Serbian cam paign of the central powers has been brought to successful conclusion. The hope is expressed here that the wintry weather will give time for re- inforcing the Anglo-French troops un- til they are strong enough to assume the offensive before the invaders have consolidated their positions in Serbia. Russia also is counted on to play a part in these operations.
 In the meantime, the only active military operations seem to be center ing around Monastir, the fate of which is obscure. The many contra dictory reports on this subject vary in the assertion that the city is still in the hands of the Serbians.
 Further to the north it is reported the Serbian armies, divided into two sections. are retreating into Albania. and Montenegro. It is not yet appar- ent whether Austro-German forces are to be sent against the Anglo French lines north of Sa1oniki but at the other extreme of the Balkan front the Montenegrins are~ expecting a heavy attack from the Austrians. .-
 The entente ministers at Athens are said to have received the reply of Greece to their second note. Greece is reported to have promised to meet all demands which do not threaten to compromise her neutrality. AR iUn- mistakable 1ull= prevails along the eastern front.

 Says Witness.

 Where is MT. Parker now?" asked the government examiner.
 T don't knoW. He's dead.', replied MT. Mellen.
 Gan you make a statement as to his integrity, his honesty and his ac- curacy ?''
 "He was very accurate replied the witness after the court had ruled that he need not answer. as to the first two qualifications. t.
 The government showed the wit ness a copy of Parker's notes which it expects to put into evidence. later. .Did not Billiard assign the stock to the New England Navigation Co ?'' ''He did not. The stock was endorsed to me in black
 The witness said that he thereafter held the stock and the securities of l the Billiard company in a. sealed en- veIope until 1911, when resolution was passed which closed up the whole Billiard. affair. N
 l Billiard, the witness then testified was allowed in the settlement $450,- 900, of which he gave $SOO,0Oo to Lawyer Brown, of Connecticut, the at torney who assisted in getting the | Billiard company chartered. l What was Billiards nominal prof l it in the deal ?'' 1.-TWO million seven
 hundred and fifty thousand dollars | Billiard wanted to give $50,O00 out o1
 his s15o,0OOi to me because he said i I'd helped him so much but ] i wouldn't take it."

JEWELS VALUED AT. S2,OO0 GONE
 FROM SUIT CASE
Police and Private Agencies Seek Gems Shipped From
 Benjamin Home.

The local police, aided by railroad and Adams Express Go. detectives. are searching Bridgeport and sneighboring cityt pawnshops for $2.OOO worth of jewelry belonging to Mrs. John Ben jarnin, a wealthy stratford and New York resident.
 Discovery of the e loss was made through the finding of an empty suit case. lying beside the railroad, tracks in Bridgeport by Engineer Eugene Schlosser last Friday when he picked up the case after. twice running his train by the object.
 Inquiry by the poliee-has divulged that when Mrs. Benjamin shipped the case from Stratford on the 11:O3 train last Friday, it contained a. quantity of jewelry, among which were a pearl studded dog collar inlaid with dia- mon6ls and sapphires, valued at $4O0; a gold chain heirloom valued at S15O: Tiffany 1ocket and chain, $125; two gold bracelets set with diamonds, $3 60; two link bracelets set with diamonds, $1o0; one pink Japanese necklace with pearls, A$10O, and other smaller items to the aggregate value ofs$2. GOO.
 It is the belief of the police and railroad authorities that the case was near a doorway when the express ear swerved about the. curve near South avenue and dropped into the freight yards, where someone opened the case and hypothecated the contents.
