HIGH SPEED FOR RESOL U UTIONS FOR
 COMMISSIONERS
Malvihil1's Name Offered, But Brophy, Ballard and
 Crawford Appointees
1special to The Farmer1

Hartford, Jan. z1-The senate to- day by strict party vote under sus- pension of the rules passed q reso- lution naming the new commissioner for Fairfield county. The names of Messrss Rrophy, Ballard and Craw- ford were then transmitted to the secretary of state under another sus- pension of the rules.
 Sen. Whiton, rep, voted against the suspension of the rules in one or two instances in the session today, and later took the opportunity on the floor of the senate to explain the reason for his action. He warned the republican majority against habi- tual and indiscriminate suspension of the rules. The rules, he said were as much meant for the majority as for the minority against the tempta- tions to. act hastily in legislative mat ters.
 He cautioned the republican na- jority too frequent invocation of this parliamentary practice.
 The name of County Commissioners Denis MulvihiH was presented in the senate today for reappointment for the term of four years from Oct. 1. 1915 Tine resolution was fntroduc- ed by Senator Hurley of Waterbury and was tabled for the calendar.
 MT. Mulvihi1l's name probably will remain on the calendar as the re- publican majority in the general as- senbly already has damned through resolutions filling the three county commissionerships for Fairfield county.

It also provides that the commission in the construction of the bridge make allowances for laying thereon of railroad tracks which shall be leas- ed upon the payment of satisfactory moneys by the corporations using them
 The bill further provides that the maintenance and operation of the bridge shall rest with the state. The project would cost approximately $400. 900: but no special appropria,- ton has, been asked for in the biIi andl it is the plan to have the state pay for the whole cost of construction. When the hearing is held before the roads, rivers and bridges committee, sIne means will be devised for pay rnenL- It has been suggested that it be toll bridge similar to the one now operated by the state at Saybrook.

SAYS HUSBANDS
 DEATH CAUSED BY
 DOCTORS NEGLECT

Charges of fragrant neglect against Dr. Fritz c. Hyde and also against nurses of the Greenwich hospital who attended her late husband were made this morning by Clara White, a veal thy Greenwich woman, when she tes- tifled before Judge Webb and a SUI perior court jury in the $1O,0o0 ac- ton she brought against the promin- ent Greenwich physician
 Mrs. White declared that when she visited her husband in the hospital cold and the air foul from the fumes of an oil stove. She complained to, Dr. Hyde but he said the air in the room was tnvigorating. Her hus- bands chest was exposed, the witness said, and she feared he would con tract pneumonia.
 When she told this to pr. Hyde he denied the patient had pneumonia. but said it was odema of one lung. A few. days later Mrs White visited the hospital again and found her husband blue, with cold and breathing with great difdc11ty. She sought Dr. Hyde and he promised to attend to the patient at once but when she looked for him again she was inform ed that the doctor went home ten minutes before.
 Mrs. White, being alarmed, asked the head nurse to give the patient some oxygen and the nurse promised to do this. Later Mrs. White return ed and found that no oxygen had been administered and that the head nurse as we'll as her assistant had gone out for the evening. Mrs. Whites hus- band died shortly after
 The trial was till on at press hour.

NURSES COTTAGE AT MYRTLE BEACH
 BURNED TO GROUND
Officials Suspect Firebug In Early Morning Blaze
 at Milford
(specia1 to The Farmer.l

Walnut Beach. Jan. 21.-Fire dis covered at 4:2O a. m. to-day totally destroyed the cottage owned by the Leisure Hour club of Bridgeport in the summer colony at Myrtle beach. The building and contents are esti- mated to be worth about $3,0OO, cov- cred by only about $1,500 insurance.
 The origin is shrouded in mystery to-daysand investigation has been be- gun by the Milford authorities. While it has been determined that the cot tage was fully furnished when clos ed for the season, no trace of any re- mains of furniture can now be found, according to reports which have come from the beach, and a little dog known to have been tied outside the place last night was discovered dur ing the progress of the conf1agration to be tied within a wire ve- randa, and was rescued with difh- culty.
 These two facts lead Sheriff J. w. Maher to believe that the blaze was of incendiary origin and that the dog was first loosened by someone whom it followed into the cottage.
