DIR. C. F. coNGDoN,s REPORT.
Town Of Stonington's Health Officer
Explains in Detail His Efforts to
Determine Cause of Ptomaine Pois-
oning Cases in Paweatuck.

Following Is the report of DR.. C.
E. Congdon, Of Mystic, health officer
OF Stonington, Of his Investigation of
certain cases OF illness, said to have
been caused by eating pies made at
Gayitt's restaurant, in Pawcatuck,
July third, fourth and fifth:
MY attention was called to the
trouble Thursday afternoon, July 9Th.
Immediately went to the restaurant
and made thorough inspection of
the entire premises. Everything was
found neat, clean and sanitary. All
windows and doors properly screened,
perishable foods protected in the re-
frigerator and the entire place orderly
and free from dirt and Objectionable
odors. No canned goods, milk pow
DER, canned eggs or other cheap sub
stHutes for fresh pure food were
found. On shelf was found a tin
can Of insect powder with the cover
secure. I was told none had been
used in several weeks. There was
standing in a corner a tin can of liquid
securely corked. This was a propri-
etary article used as a, spray for
reaches that sometimes came through
the partitions. 1t was used at night
after all the work was done. Owing
to the distance from the side of the
room where this liquid was used from
the food supplies. could see no posi-
bility Of any of it getting into the
food. / viii say that ! am informed
that most restaurants used similar ar
ticles which are supposed to be HARM
less to the human family-and the
analysis proves them to be as claimed.
Samples of All But Milk.
obtained samples of the bug pow-
der and liquid and Of every Ingredient
that went into the pies except milk,
had previously taken samples Of the
milk Prom the restaurant and the
had analysis made at different times
OF the public water supply and that
has always been very good. The next
day again went over the place ac-
companied by Mr.. Little OF Stoning-
ton, who had lost two patients who
and died July sth late in the day,
Obtained Part OF PIE.
At Ghis time obtained a. quarter of
a custRrd pie that was one OF q special
order OF two pies made Monday morn
ing, July. 9Th for Captain Elias WILCOX.
Onespie was eaten by Captain wilcox
and several other people and caused
severe Illness. Part of the remain
ing pie was taken by the Rhode island
same as stated An my samples were
sent to the Connecticut Experimenf
Station with the request that they be
examined.
Stomach Fluid Examined.
DR.. Little informed me that he had
about eight ounces OF fluid taken from,
the stomach Of Francis Brightman
before he was embalmed, This fluid
was sent by DR.. Little to the Expert
ment Station at my request.
The bisuInth found by the chemist
| in this fluid was administered by DR.,
Little and the 4ornaldehyde found was
added as preseryatiye by the under
takers assistant,

TO RENEW LEGAL FIGHT
ON Mr.. NEWMAN'S TITLE
Home Rule Committee Discusses
Three Plans of Procedure on
Commissionership Issue.

Three plans for continuing the legal
fight against Commissioner Newman
were suggested and approved at the
| meeting of the home rule committee,
| which met in the red room of the Eb-
bitt House last night. The first plan
contemplates a request by the COM
mittee to President Wilson. asking him
to remove Mr.. Newman. whom he ap-
pointed. from Office. The second plan
was that q petition be presented to the
Attorney General or the Emitted States
district attorney. asking that a writ
of mandamus be filed in the District
Supreme Court requiring Commissioner
Newman to show cause why he should
not be ousted from Office as nom
resident of the District. The third
plan is to file petition in the Supreme
Court of the United Slater asking for
rehearing OF the case of William ].
Frizzell against Commissioner New
man.
Preamble States Position.
In the resolution adopted, covering
| three plans, the following preamble was
| used to state the position of the home
rule committee:
The Supreme Court of the United
States disposed of the. case against
| Newman on technicality, evaded the
main issue, and left undecided the vital
| question whether Newman was not a
legal resident and a usurper- of Office.
The pronounced opinion of the entire
| law-abiding people of this District Is
| hxed and determined that the action of
| the Supreme Court by a majority of
| only one is a plain evasion, Of the law
| and denial Of justice"

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
By Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and tie highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $3.50. 000, 600 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
Of agriculture.
The problem Is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting n to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
OF farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give US their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we ann build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more a we develop agricul-
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRIATIoNS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but u port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. 10
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over u
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $1,000
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leyies
a toll of approximately $50,000,00O
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations ts ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and lone can be more easily and eff
fectively secured.

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
II u partisan factions and petty poll
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark OF a dog or the bray OF a donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give o u citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the ~vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who fash swords
dripping in the blood of industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys OF civilization.
