PAVING AND SEWER COMMISSION TO BE ''DEFINED" TUESDAY
Put On Rollers Yesterday in House SessiOn-WiH Ap-
 prove Amendment.
Especial to the Farmer. )

Hartford, March 26-Late in the session yesterday the house started on. it's way the Bridgeport charter amendment which, if it becomes a law, as now seems likely, will relieve the paving and sewer commission of a large part of it's duties and make it practically a dead issue so far as municipal activity is concerned.
 On a favorable report from the committee on cities and boroughs the house adopted the amendment that defines permanent pavement" The definition as contained in the amendment would limit the paving and sewer commission to supervision over pavements built on a Portland cement concrete base. The measure will probably come up in the senate Tuesday and indications are that it will be adopted. It opens the way for the present administration in Bridgeport to take charge of carry ing out of the famous Warrenite con tracts without Interference from the paving and sewer commission.
 The house has also passed a. bill extending until January l. 1916, the time. for the issuance of the municip- al bonds authorized at the referen- dunn election on May 16, 1914.

London, March 26.-As has been predicted by military observers since the fall of Przemysl, Russia is now directing her chief offensive against the Austrian front in the Carpathians. In the north between the NieInen and Vistula rivers the Russian forces are making little effort to advance, evi- dentIy being content to hold Field A1arsEaI Won Hindenburg in check. but desperate fighting is taking place In the Carpathians where the Rus sians are thrusting back the Austrians along the Duke and Uzsok line.
 Unoncial reports via Bucharest credits Russia with great victory at sUzik, while Petrograd officially claims an important success in the capture of fortified positions near the Lup- kow Pass. There formidable posi- tions were taken. by storm, the Aus trians losing machine guns and over 5000 prisoners. Unoff1cial reports al- so credit the Russian army with fur tIer successes in Bukowina.
 Vienna admits the importance of the Russian offensive in the noun tain passes but at the same time de- clhres the fierce alta on these po- sitions have been repulsed-
 The sinking of the Netherlands steamer Media by a German subma- rine has caused much uneasiness in Holland where the people are already lrritated by the recent capture by Germany of two Dutch merchant men.

''Dum-dums are considered abso- 1ute1y essential, The Farmer was told today by the expert. These charges and counter-charges by diplomats are poppy-cock.
 ''Dum-dum replaced steel bullets long ago, for use in trench fighting in the European war. The reason is this: Dum-dunns will stop charge irnme ediately, while steel bullets will not.
 When men are fighting in trenches stones throw from each other, every foot of ground counts. When a charge comes, it is vital to squelch it suddenly by any means available. If steel bullets are used, they will pass

Naval Experts Conclude That There Has Been Either Interior Explosion or Collision With Rock Efforts At Rescue Fail.

Washington, March 26-- Trapped at the bottom of Hon olulu harbor under at least 35 lfathoms of water-probably more-the United States sub marine F-4 lies helpless with her commander and least IS men, in what is feared to be one of the worst submarine boats disasters in the worlds naval history.
 More than 24 hours of every effort known to naval practice to raise the sunkenz boat or get a signal from her crew have failed. Her marker bEpy which had come to the top to mark her resting place in such an emergency, has. failed to ap-
 saar; the surface of the water at 30 fathoms is covered with a film of oil from the submerg- ed boats tanks.
 Navy department officials fear one of two ca,lanities.. that the F7-4 struck a rock and that her crew were drowned in the inrushing waters or that there was an internal explosion While hope for the men has not been given up the grayest fears are entertained that they may Eve been lost in the first submarinea boat Gis- aster in the United States navy.

If the F'4 by accident or otherwise, has gone deeper it is fear ed the tremendous pressure of the waters had crushed her shell. Although fitted with the latest de vice in safety air locks, through which a man can be shot to safety at great a depth as 35 fathoms, the men on the FE-4 apparently have been un- able to use them and that fact, coupled with the fact that they have not released their marker buoy, makes officials fear something terrible has happened down in the dark | Until the presetn time, the United States navy had been particularly for tunate with it's submarines Not a  although some of the ships sustained minor accidents.

A FLOATER
EXILED FROM HUMAN SOCIETY.
OUTCAST SLEEPS ON COLD.
HARD GROUND.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 2S.-"Old Man
Jackson" Is an unfortunate from
whom hardened men reeoil in horror.
Cancer has corroded one side of his
face almost beyond recognition as a
human c~ountenance. He cannot
speak ar%ticularly, and n eye is
about gone now.
How he lives none knows. He Is
what the police call a "~floater." For
the last seven or eight years he has
appeared at intervals here-and then
disappeared. He does NOT shun So
ciety-human society shuns him.
Some way he maintains a miserable,
lonely existence.
1t was cold last night and when
Police Captain Charles Johnston
walked over to the island" below
the Milwaukee yards to investigate a
Pickering light he had a heavy coat
buttoned up tight. The captain ap-
preached a s~mouldering fire of faggot
wood whose dull glow revealed the
outlines of a human form huddled
close by. The officers pocket light
made the scene bright.
1t was "Old Man Jackson" sound
asleep, the cold ground for a pillow
and the rags and tatters he wears
for covering. He was curled around
the fire for warmth. A few black
ened tin cans nearby indicated that
he had prepared his supper out un-
der the trees-an improvised soup or
something of the sort.
The old man was comfortable and
the captain did not disturb him. He
does not want to go to jail-the po-
lice know that. There seems to be
no place for the poor old man to go,
said Capt. Johnson.
