 port and Environs Occurs At Noon Today.

E The sixth death of infantile paraly- sis for Bridgeport and it's neighIbor- hood occurred at noon today at Wal nut Beach. when Josephine Millstine, aged four, of Brooklyn. succumbed after several days illness.
 The city proper has had three deaths. two of which occurred. last night. John Della, aged one year, of 258 Grand street. died yesterday af- ternoon of poliomyelitis, and Harold May, aged IA, of ATS Center street, died late last night.
 Not a new case was discovered in the city up to a late hour this after noon according to the health depart ment officials. The cases of Joseph Kodak, aged 19 months and a broth.- CT, Paul, aged six months, were re- ported yesterday and the patients were removed to Hillside home. To- day, Dr. c. N.

 The Millstine child who died at Walnut Beach came with her parents early this month and settled in the Wakelee cottage. Bittersweet avenue.

ONLY PURE MILK !. FOR BRIDGEPORT, PLAN OF S0PH|AN!
Nothing But Pasteurized Product May Be Sold Here
 After Certain Date.
EXPECTS TO LOWER
 INFANT MORTALITY
Health Expert, Despite Pri- ,vate Influences, Making
 Great Strides.

Unless adverse influences are brought to bear in an effective man. ner, Bridgeport will ,never again have an epidemic that may be traced to impure milk, ror insanitary methods in handling milk. Dr. Abraham Sophian, the health expert who is conducting the city's fight against disease. Is making plans with the intention that teurized milk may be sold in Bridge port, and no milk may be yended ex- cept in a sanitary manner.
 The ban will be placed rigidly on all milk, the quality of which is uncer- tain, if Dr. Sophian has his way. If the expert is allowed to work out his plans, no baby in Bridgeport will be Ia victim of germ-laden fluid food. What this will mean to Bridgeport is testified to by physicians through out the city. Milk from a diseased animal, milk bottled in insanitary sur roundings and milk vended in an in- sanitary manner, takes an annual toll of lives that is appalling. The death certificates show variety of diseases, but milk is blamed for much of the in fant mortality.
 When pr. Sophian came to this city 1t is understood he soon found out what influences are at work in the administration and that the health de- partment officials and the mayor are merely puppets Those who have ob- served him in action, however, know he has determined to go ahead, re- gardless of these influences, with the knowledge that if his plans are blocked, it won't be because he didn't try.
 . Garbage complaints continue to pour into the health department of fees and indignant citizens have call- ed there and vociferously expostulat- ed. Dr. Sophian. however, has point ed out the danger that lies in gar- bAgs,b Mas ordered it abated, and his duty ended there.
 New he proposed td lower the -mor- tality of the city of Bridgeport by keeping out all impure milk and com polling sanitary handling of all milk
 , "A date will be established" he said this morning, ''after which none
 but pasteurized milk may be sold in Bridgeport.
 "A meeting of all dealers and ven- dors of milk has been called f6k 2 o'clock this afternoon in the city hall, when the health board, the. mayor (Continued on Page 2.)

 CABINET SHOP
Workman in Hospital, Weak From Prpfuse Hemorrhage
 Following Accident.

Bringing his hand too close to the whirling saw he was using to cut dove tails in cabinet work at the factory of the Sewing Machine Cabinet Co.,, Frank Harris, AS, of 250 Alex street, lost his right hand at the wrist about S:30 this morning.
