 Another fatality, which subsequent events proved to have been a pre- murder, took place here a decade. ago, on the night of July 4, when Martin Kerschinskie, who lived in Clinton avenue. near Railroad ave- nue, was shot to death by Alexander Herman, who sought to supplant him in Mrs. Kerschinskie's affections. Un- der cover Of the 1acket of Fourth of July shooting, Herman, who sent Kerschinskie out for a pail of beer, lay in wait for him, and shot him % death near his front gate. Herman was hanged. Mrs. Kerschinskie, long under arrest, was not prosecuted. , Following the death of Beach, the common council adopted an ordi- nance which made strong provision against the use of firearms, even for the discha1ge of blank cartridges. This year, however, the use of fire arms was widespread.

NO |NFANTILE PARALYSIS YET
 IN BRIDGEPORT
Health Officer Declares There is Little Cause For
 Alarm Here.

Infantile paralysis, which is epidem- ic in New York city and is better known to. medical men under the name of anterio poliomyelitis, has not appeared in Bridgeport to the knowl- edge of the board of health.
 Dr. Edward A. Mcclellan, health of fcer of the city today recommended that the public be not alarmed as in vestigations made in 1910 by Prof. H. W. Conn, of the state board of health when the disease was rampant in Middletown and Meriden and caused much illnessrin Bridgeport, sh ows that it is only slightly contagious
 Warning, however, is issued to all mothers to prevent access of mos the youngsters and particularly to ob- serve that no, household cats or dogs are afflicted with fieas.
 The epidemic of 1910, was attribut- ed mainly to insects and special blame was placed upon fleas, which are known to have carried the bubonic plague and are largely suspected in the case of infantile paralysis with flies and mosquitoes.
 For the benefit of parents who are
  tent of the epidemic in New York city, which is driving many families out of that city. the report of Prof. Conn.,, shows that of the 60 out of 75 cases observed in Meriden and Mid dletown, some 20 miles apart not one case was found to arise in a fam fly in which an initial case had de- veloped. Milk, water, dust and air currents were closely observed and el- minated as cause. Isolation was not found to be preventative.
 Physicians, on the other hand, were found to be slow in. diagnosing the cases, at first believing that common malaria was the ma1ady. The disease first shows itself in fever usually ac- companied by chills and digestive dis turbances. Later paralysis of the arms and legs or either developes. In cubation of the germ in the human system requires about 30 days time. Infantile paralysis though usually found in children. has attacked per- sons at the age of 45 years.
 The warning issued here today ad- vises that screens be carefully kept on windows, all bed-bugs be eliminat- ed from sleeping quarters, mosquitoes be summed, and that the closest att tention be paid to all dogs and cats to make sure that the heas are abso- lutely eliminated. .In view of the fact that no cases have been observed in this section of New England and a period of 30 days is required for 1n- cubation of the germ after infection, no alarm need be felt at this time.

 Revolver on Person

Investigation by the police has dis closed that three men took part in the robbery at the home of Julius Wancovites at 855 Maple street, early yesterday morning when two watches two rings. breast pin and $S were taken and that they were chased sew eral blocks by two drivers for a bak- ing company.

.PR0GRESSIVES ARE
 URGED TO UNITE
 WITH DEMOCRATS
Hartford Post Says Two Parties Can Retire Rora-
 back Permanently.

That the Progressive party in Con- necticut, to defeat the Roraback ma- chine, should unite with the Demo cratic party to accomplish this pur- pose and be helpful in constructive politics, is the suggestion of the Hart ford Post. In an editorial, "Oppor- tunity for Statesmen" the Post says i
 If the great mass of Progressive party members in Connecticut who scorn the idea of returning abjectly to the party which they left for con- scientious reasons, are in earnest in their protestations of independence they have before them a great oppor- tunity if they care to seize it.
 !. "The opportunity is ripe for Pro. gressive Democratic fusion in the state campaign. The Progressives who never pollled more than 3O,0oo votes, in the high tide Of their party, can have no hope of carrying the state in November even though they should name a state ticket. Many of them are calling for state ticket, however, as a means of ridding Con- necticut of the domination of the Roraback machine.
 lAS pIeSSICe OI a IIckoC( the field would, of course, assist to that end, but if a third, ticket should succeed in it's purpose it would mere ly have the effect of putting. into of flee the candidates of the Democratic party, in whose selection and in the building of whose platform the Pro- gressive partx had no voice. If the.Pro- gressive party is satisfied with de- stroying the power of the Roraback machine for the time being that re- suit will, of course, be satisfactory, but there is no reason why the Pro- gressive party should not become a constructive as well as destructive force.
 "The Progressives of Connecticut and the Democrats of Connnecticut are not far apart on state issues. The Democrats are not likely to declare for anything in their platform which the Progressives do not fully endorse and there are few things which the Progressives are insistent upon as re- form measures which the Democratic platform will not carry. .aThe Democratic party in making it's nominations for office will beyond any question endeavor to select men who will command the respect and confidence of all Connecticut citizens such men as win easily be recog- nized as representing the antithesis of Roraback machine domination.
 Here are two political parties in Connecticut who typify protests against the kind of government that lessens respect for Connecticut in oth- CT states. By pursuing independent courses these two parties unquestion- ably can drive Roraback out of power for two years at least. By combin- ing they could make that retirement permanent It is not necessary that the Progressive party should lose its separate identity. It can maintain it. self as political entity and by work ing with the Democratic party select the sort of candidates and the kind of a platform on which both can agree and which will command the respect of all voters who object to a Rorabackized commonwealth"

TO SELL BANKRUPrs REALTY

There will be hearing before Referee John w. Banks in the bank ruptcy court July IT when Trustee John c. Chamberlain will make ap- plication for permission to sell certain real estate belonging to the Burr 6 Knapp estate. It is also understood that the trustee will make a report of his recent sale of the Louise Faxon Knapp homestead on Park avenue to Frank S. Cohen for $12,000.
 The Burr & Knapp assets consist principally of real estate in this city and suburbs and it is felt that the quickest way to raise money for the creditors is by selling the parcels.

 Meany had client named A. G. Wheeler, lJr.. who wanted $25,0oo loan and Allen claims he was promised half of the commission If he could ne- gotiate the matter.
