SPIDER BITE ON
huckLEeERRY TRIP.
Wound In Thumb Was Followed by
Blood Poisoning Symptoms.

Dennis ]. Sullivan, that is to say,
Captain Sullivan. is taking vacation
these days-an enforced one. With a
party of friends he jourheyed down
into Michigan on Sunday to pass the
day pleasurably picking huckleberries.
While some Of the party succumbed
early to the pastime, Captain Sullivan
kept plucking berries like a busy bee
and with the help of the others he had
entered merrily on his twelfth and final
quart and was gathering speed on the
homestretch. Here the real story be-
gins. 1t resembles the historic incl
dent that happened to Little Miss oduf-
fet, with minor differences This spider
alighted on Captains thumb, and with
out blowing a horn or giving any
warning, bit him long and deep. His
friends brought him around and APP
piled first aid measures, but a day or
two later he began to have symptoms
of blood poisoning, and now he's wear
ing bandages on his left hand He has
seen several medical authorities and
is following all their instructions at
the same time, besides home remedies,
and his chances are promising at the
present time.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Foot Path Completely Around Deer Yard-Special New
Quarters for the MOnkeysGift of Pair of Polish Fowl
: From Dr.. w. K. Tngiey.

By the policy adopted by the park
board of gradually adding to the inn
provements, attractions and convent
ences at Michigan park, this pleasure
ground for the city's people Is con-
tihually developing into a place where
a pleasant hour or two can be spent
both by the children and the grown
ups.
One OF the latest Of these improve
ments is the completion of a footpath
all the way around the deeryard. The
last side ON which the footpath was
built to eneircle the yard completely
was the east side and this has now
been completed 80 that IL Is now pos
sible 60 walk entirely around the yard.
thus increasing the possibility that
visitors to the park can catch q glimpse
OF the deer family which still is shy
and hides away from the gaze of the
public as far as possible. But now
that visitors can walk completely
around the deeryard it will be incre1S-
ingly difficult for the deer to keep out
Of sight altogether.
Quite the opposite in nature TO the
goes are the three monkeys which fur
deer as far as willingness to be E<<n
f1ish an Intending source Of entertain
ment for the children that go to the
park. For the better accommodation
Of the monkeys and the better con-
venience Of those who like to see them,
an addition to the tool house is being
built that will provide quarters for
the monkeys in a wired cage where
they can be better seen than in the
cage they have been inhabiting. The
wired cage will be the quarters Of the
two smaller monkeys which are less
tame and tractable than the big black
spider monkey, Jack Johnson. Jack
spends a large part of each day in
partial freedom out among the trees
in the rabbit yard, having long chain
attached to min which gives him con-

DESTROYS that there shall be a good

this morning to attend the hearing
which is to be given by the government

It is the hope of the mayor that
members of the Board of Trade, the
Chamber of Commerce and business
men and citizens generally will show
their interest in the welfare and devel-
opnient of the city by attending the
meeting, SO that besides the statistics
and arguments that VIII be made, the

pressed upon them that the responsible
men of the community are thoroughly
in earnest in this matter.

ELKs DECIDE ON
SUMNER FRoLIc PLANS.
To Have One Big Day at Lincoln
Park.

The Norwich Elks, with their guests
hidden from other cities. Putnam, DAN
ielson, New London, Providence, VIII
limantic. Westerly and New Haven,
have chosen Lincoln park on Aug. 18th
as the time and place for their annual
frolic. 1t will be bigger, so says the
Committee in charge of the blowout,
than anything of an outdoor nature the
lodge Of Elks in this city has ever
done.
Lincoln park is very nearly an ideal
spot for the Elks and their doings.
The cars go every hour, on the quarter
before the hour. There is a rustic the
atre at the park, and near by is ball
ground, with regulation diamond, where
at the last frolic the boys from Wilt
mantle, at that time the baby lodge,
trimmed Capt. Denny Hayes and the
Norwich team in a game that New
London. westerly, Putnam, Providence,
New Haven and the other towns re-
member.
There will, of course. be a ball game
this year. though the subcommittee on
sports isn't quite ready to announce
who will play this time. Then, too,
the creased pig race, won last year by
Bert Lucas, will be on the list of sports.
The cabaret show will, as usual, be all
to the satisfaction. What happened on
the stage last year was something hard
to eclipse, but, once more, the 1915
mittee and is expected to do things.
Its members are Dennis j. Hayes, John
H. Wilson, John H. Carney, Thomas
H. Crawford and Rutherford G. Plaut.
They are hard at work and will show
what they can do for the enjoyment of
their friends this time.
Last year the Elks' parade was re-
viewed by four eastern Connecticut
mayors. all brother Elks, and at least
three of these are in office yet and are
11-I g. L. n rr~T11
be found for Brother-Mayor Timothy
c. Murphy of Norwich, Brother Mayor
Danny Dunn of Willimantic and
Brother-Mayor Archie Macdonald of
Putnam to do at this frolic. Postmaster
Bryan F. Mahan, an ex-mayor, will be
in the New London delegation, though
last year detained by state commit
tee meeting in Hartford. The New
London brothers will miss the cheerful
personality of Fred ]. West this year.
The dinner, like that of all the pre-
ceding frolics, is bound to prove worth
eating, not only by the Elks from the
various cities, but by the friends they
will, as on former occasions, be per-
mitted to invite.
The arrangements are already under
way for another tug of war. like the
one that proved so strenuous last year.
Two rival cities will be picked for this
and they will send their heaviest and
strongest men.
The band will play before dinner and
after dinner, and with the music and
the sports there ought to be several
happy hours for several hundred peo-
pie. The committee will keep the pub
lie posted through the newspapers as
their plans proceed. Meantime they
want the Elks of the seven cities to
eat moderately in order that on Aug.
18th they may show up with sharp ap-
petites for the good things to be pro-
vided at Lincoln park.

WEST SIDE RESIDENTS
COMPLAIN or LoDoERs.
Two Men Were Taken from an oat
huiIdina on Naples Farm.

Lacking settled habitAtion and even
q transient place Of abode, two elder
ly men, James Goggin. IS, Of South
Boston, and Edward Casey, 81, of this
city, took refuge from the unusually
heavy dews Of Wednesday evening in
an outbuilding that used TO be hem
coop on the John Naples farm on
Asylum street. But people who lived
nearby didn't recognize the two indi-
viduals as chickens come home to
roost, and promptly told Captain
Twomey about 1t at police headquar-
tiers. with the result that they were
brought in by Sergeant Matthews
and Officer Perry and spent the night
in cells and awaiting city court
this morning.
The quiet at headquarters was brok-
en- just before midnight by the iFau-
guration Of search for IA year old
Micky Shea Of Roath street, a Frank
lin square newsboys His mother Is
dead, his father, Timothy Shea. Is 1iv-
ing elsewhere, and he Is being taken
care OF, together with two sisters, by
his maiden aunt She appeared before
Captain Twomey at 11.50 in a dis
tracted state Of mind and informed
the police that Micky had not come
home that night, a thing he had new
ELECTED the information that Micky
was a chum Of another lad, HI King,
and then he dispatched oficer Dorio-
van (''Big Jack') to the King board
ing house. and there ne pulled the
sleeping Micky out OF bed. The small
boy appeared at the station house FIVE
minutes later in the custody of the
big officer. ana then there occurred
one of those startling transformations
that makes human nature so battling
and mysterious a thing. From a con-
dition of laf1entation the maiden aunt
aunt became like to an avensing god
dess, and after getting a sound talk
ipg to by Captain fwomey on the
evil of staying away from home Micky
was led away with dire threats of
what would overtake him yhen he did
get there.

NEW POINTS IN
Commissioners Call Attention to the
Way Insurance Policies Cover.
COMPENSATION LAW.

DR.. James ]. Donohue, commissioner
for this district, was present Tuesday
at a meeting of the compensation
commission of the state held at the
office of Compensation Commissioner
George B. Chandler.
The meeting, at which all the mem
bers were present, was mostly taken
up with routine matters. At its close
Fred NJ. Williams, chairman of the
commission, issued the following state
ment, calling attention to new features
in the act, particularly as they affect
insurance.:
The commission feels that the pub
lies attention should be again called
to certain features of the compensa-
ton insurance law now in force in this
state. Presumably everyone knows
that the amendments made by the last
general assembly took effect on May 20.
These amendments change the liza
bfHty of the employer in many re-
spects, principally as to details of
specific injuries and as to medical ser
vices which are now unlimited instead
of being confined to 80 days immedi-
ately following the injury as was the
case before May 20.
OF the &c companies organized to
transact compensation insurance bJsi-
ness in the state, only a very small
number in terms insure against the
liability imposed upon the assured by
the amendments to the law. Every
person noldlng a compensation inSur-
ance policy ought to examine IL and see
whether he is simply insured against
liabilities as they existed under the act
of 1913 or whether he IS insured
against his present liability.
In regard TO the much discussed
question of employers of less than five
employees. the language of section Of
the statute as it now stands should
be carefully studied. A large number
of persons employing less than FIVE
employees have taken out contracts of
insurance because they desire to have
their employees protected in case they
are injured. In all such instances the
employer should see to it that each of
his employees is notified as provided in
section that the employer has taken
this insurance and that he has ac-
cepted the provisions of part B of the
statute and he should accompany this
notice by a certificate that the policy
is in force. All of this work can read
lily be done BY the insurance agents,
and probably in most instances will
be, but each of the commissioners has
noticed that these reports which were
prepared and distributed some time
ago are not being used to the extent
which we believed they should be
used.

COMMISSION
CALLS FOR EXAMINATIONS
For Motormen and Conductors on All
Trolley Lines Of State.


~
Contrary to the published report that
examinations for the motornen and
conductors were to be instituted by.
the officers Of the Shore Line Electric
Railway company, the examination
that these trolley employees are TO tir-.
dergo have arisen through the public
utilities commissions order. This new
regulation covers the trolley companies
all over the state and on some OF the
roads the examinations have already
been carried out.
for these examinations arises disposes
OF the possible suggestion That the ex-
aminations might have been Instituted
by the company in a desire TO get
back at the men for the part they
played in a recent demand for q read
Justment and advance in the wage
schedule.
The public utilities commission has
indicated in a general way what lines
they expect the examinations to cover.
but has left 1t to the working depart
ment OF each road to formulate its own
list of questions which will be given
to the men.
On the Shore Line road the exami-
nation questions will be prepared by
Supt. Samuel Anderson and will large.
ly cover. II is understood, the matter
contained in the book OF rules which
the men operating the cars are expect
ed to be familiar with They Will be

WENT TO HARTFORD
TO SEE PUMPER.
Fire Commissioners Inspecting Differ
ent Makes of Fire Apparatus.

Alderman Casper K. Bailey and
Councilman Milo r. Waters, two Of the
fire commissioners. with fire chief
Howard L.. Stanton, were in Hartford
on wednesday where they saw an
American LaFrance motor pumping
engine which that city has purchased.
Councilman William ]. Kramer, the
other member of the fire committee,
was not able to go with them.
The American LaFrance has a pump
of the rotary type. 1t is in the pump
where the difference exists between
the various makes of combination
motor pumping and chemical engines.
In preparation for buying such a
piece of fire apparatus with the $4,000
the fire committee has already seen
two other makes of q motor pumping
apparatus.
One of these which the committee
saw in Winchester, Mass, was the
Ahrens Fox, which is fitted with a
multiplex piston pump. This is made
in Cincinnati and Is the type of which
New York city has ordered six, the
first pieces OF motor pumping appar-
atus that New York has had.
Another make that the committee
saw was the Seagrave. This they saw
in New Haven, where there are four
or five of this make. The Seagrave
has a pump of the centrifugal type.
Alderman Bailey, chairman Of the
committee, said Wednesday evening
that he could not tell how soon they
would come TO a decision on what
make Of apparatus to buy.
