NEW HAVEN MELODRAMA

The New Haven manufacturer who
homes, one in that city, and an
other In Brooklyn, with children in
the latter place, is being called to
account for some other deeds, one
being that he is the father Of two
years old child of another New Haven
woman, and what adds to his noto-
riety is that he is reputed to have a
Wife and three grown up daughters
in another home in Scranton, Pa,
whom. it Is claimed, he deserted a
number of years ago. His steno-
era pher, Miss Cook, who recently
committed suicide and who was
buried from her Brooklyn home the
other day, Is now reported not to have
been the Cook girl at all and her
father Is said to be responsible for the
statement.
There is enough in this case to
make a n1elodrama Of the most stir
ring type The manufacturer has ap-
p0dISu III print III w HILL llo eN'AiAAeSNN
two of the homes ana animated that
he was now paying for his errors In
the shape Of q stricken conscience.
If he has any at all it must have been
affected by the developments Of the
past week or two, but the mystery
of it all is how he managed to go
along for such period and escape
detection and Furthermore how young
women could have been SO foolish as
not to, recognize in him one OF that
type who should be Stunned and who
probably would have been had he
been known. He denies the accusa-
tions Of some Of the women but he
admits enough to give the case a
rnelodramatic coloring and makes 1t
the strangest of its kind that staid
old Connecticut has ever known. It
seems strange that the body of Miss
Cook could not have been more posi-
lively identified than to leave a doubt
in the mind Of her father as to
whether or not she was his daughter.
She was buried as such, however.
from the family home and there did
not appear to be any doubt as to her
identity then.

registry, and that the design of the
cwner was to load the vessel with a,
cargo of cotton for Rotterdam, the
British government let it be known
that it would refuse to recognize the
sale of any of the German vessels
and measures will be taken to prevent
the Dacia from completing her voyage,
that she would be seized and taken
to a British port, so that the charac-
ter of the transaction to American
registry might be adjudicated by the
prize courts. An intimation was given
that the government might have taken
q different position as to the cargo of
cotton from that with respect to the
vessel. It was stated by some Of the
officials that the cotton might be re-
leased and forwarded to its destlna
ton at Rotterdam at Great Britain's
expense; or be purchased by the
British government at the price
agreed to be paid by the German pur-
chasers, which the courts have ruled
cannot be done.
The British contention is that to
permit the Dacia to complete her
Journey would create precedent highly
detrimental to British interests, and
, under the benefits Of which other
German vessels now in American
ports might obtain a registry under
conditions which would afford no
, guarantee that they might not ulti-
nately, even during the period Of the
war, be enabled to fly the German
flag. That even if this latter event
uality would be obviated the trans
fer of such vessels to American
ownership would in itself be preju-
dicial to British interests thereby fur
nishing Germany With a fund upon
which she could draw in order to OBJ
! tain supplies from the United States.

ira diction to the law as it has always

DOCTORS AND DRUGGISTS.

There was a hearing yesterday be-
and safety on a bill which aims to
prohibit physicians from dispensing
medicine to their patients unless they
first pass the examination prescribed
for pharmacists. The bill is fathered
by the Connecticut Pharmaceutical
association and as might be expected
was oppGped by doctors. There was
considerable discussion as to the skill
of druggists and doctors on the mat
ter of compromising medicines. the
former claiming that they found more
ton was compounded according to
the doctors orders, that death would
have ensued. This is not cheerful
news for those who are or who may
be taken ill and who may feel Obliged
to take medicine, not knowing but
that instead Of being relieved of the
trouble complained of they may be
passed on, as some say when others
die.
1t is good to know that druggists
are SO competent that even if the doc
tors prescribe too much of one thing
and not enough of another that they
will establish relief station at once
where a correction is made and the
undertaken is headed off. The case
has most serious side to it, how
ever. for the reason that it suggests
the danger a person is up against
when he is taken i'll and is obliged to
take medicine. The druggists admit
ted the mistakes at the hearing, and
while the doctors did not deny them
all they claimed that the druggists
were also careless in some instances.
One physician said he had a case of
woman who has been taking NOR
phine for twenty years, as much as for
ty grains day, which she manages to
obtain from a Hartford drug store in
! some way that he could not explain.
I There is neglect in that case no doubt
| but 1t is not as bad as making mis-
] take in a prescription that would kill
| the legislature will enact a law that
| will prevent those things from occur
| ring it will do a good thing and will
| greatly relieve the minds Of those tax

some one will come along and say
that Lincoln would really have
amounted to something IL it hadn't
been for his demora1izing experiences

But as a matter of fact il probably
is true that the city schools are more
healthfui for the common run OF
pupils, just as they are more efficient
in grinding out education. il would
