SCARLET FEVER BUT
 NO SMALLPOX HERE
One Case Reported Today-Health or Gcials All Over State Watching to
 Prevent Epidemic of Scolrge.

The health department was today notified of another case of contagious disease in the city, a patient on Divi- sion street being ill with scarlet fever. There are also three cases of diph- theria in the city and numerous cases of grip and pneumonia
 As yet the health department has had no information that would lead to the belief there has been any smallpox suspects in the city. The de- ,partment is keeping close watch for any suspicious cases as in Water bury the epidemic has so increased that there are now eighty-eigh cases. Four new cases from that city were reported yesterday.
 In order to cope with the situation it is said that officials in the towns in the western section of the state are preparing to make vaccination con- pulsory in the schools. Under pro- visions made by the last legislature the state board of health provides the anti-toxin free in case of need. The state board of health has about 300 vaccine points on hand, these costing seven cents a point.

ASK FOR SEWER IN
 WINTHROP STREET
Petition Will Be Presented to Board of Public Works at Meeting
 Next Tuesday Evening.

At the meeting of the board of pub lie works next Tuesday, evening a peti- tlon signed by fifteen people who own property on Winthrop street between LinWood and Vance streets, Will be presented asking for the construction ot a sewer in this section. People liv- ing in this vicinity claim that although the street is an old one, it has not re- celved the attention it should and. as a result, conditions that are really in sanitary have become prevalent in numerous instances where the cess- pools are incapable of caring for the sewage.
 Another petition to be presented at the Tuesday night meeting is one asking for the establishment of a building line on East street from NeWingtOn road to the railroad tracks. just north of the point where Allen streets intersects.
 There is considerable building going on in this community and much more is anticipated, it is said Because of this the property owners think. that an established building line is a necessity for the best interests of all concerned. It is not expected that there will be any opposition to this petition.

PATIENCE AT AN END
Court Declines Probation to Man Who Has Been Arrested Four Times This Year on Minor Charge

Oscar Olson of 152 Kelsey street now realizes that there is an end to the patience of even police court off, cials and probation officers as well as the danger of jail sentence, instead of a mere fine for celebrating unwise- ly and beyond capacity. At todays session Judge James T. Meskill or dered a previous probationary sen- tence of fifteen days devoked and added ten days as the penalty for yes terday's celebration by the accused. It was the fourth time Olson has been arraigned this year and the last three times have been while he has been under probation. He has three chill dren and leniency has been due to consideration for his family. This time Probation Officer Edward c. Connolly expressed a belief that jail would be the best thing for Olson, that it may straighten him out and that the family will be able to get along during his temporary absence. The accused apparently expected that a fine would be the only penalty and pleaded for a renewal of probation, or a fine.

ANDREWS ON CROSSINGS

Chamber of Commerce Secretary De-
 pIores Lack of Enthusiasm in SoIv-
 ing the Question of the HOur
 The much discussed grade crossing problem was the base of a, talk given the business class of the Y. M. C. A. lats evening by. Secretary A H. An drews of the Chamber of Commerce. The work along these lines as dwelt upon by the chamber was clearly out Hned by the speaker, but as yet no solution of eliminating the dangers that turk at these crossings has been reached. Secretary Andrews spoke of the tendency of people to find fault about conditions in city, whereas they offer no assistance in securing beneficial results.
 The local chamber has a member ship of between 500 and 600, but the working force is entirely inadequate to right conditions, the speaker said. The spirit is one of the essential things to success, and without it the solution of whatevert is being undertaken is impossible. Secretary Andrews said that most people are unaware of the work that the chamber is undertaking, because they are not acquainted with the Inside workings. He cited as an Instance the waiting station proposi- ton at the trolley car terminal, when prior to the appointment of a commit tee to investigate the matter, every one had an idea, but when they were heard they proved to be impracticable.
 An. invitation was extended by the speaker to the members of the class to call at the office of the chamber at any time that they felt that they had an idea which would prove bene- fcial to the city. The ideas of the young men are what are needed and the Chamber of Commerce will be only too glad to cooperate with them in securing what they think is for the welfare of the city.
 e At the close Of the talk, Physical Director w. s. Slater, who presided as toastmaster, thanked the speaker. 4 banquet was held prior to the talk.

Thomas Carroll of Sexton street said that he was tired of jail and pre- ferred the state farm for inebriates He was accommodated and will pass the winter there.
 William Moran, formerly of 60 Chestnut street, had his probation re- voked and must pay the remainder ot the fine of S5 and costs, imposed last June for breach of the peace, or go tc jail. Probation Officer Connolly said he has not reported since October Moran pleaded that illness in his fam fly prevented his reporting and paying what he owed.

Wheels of justice in police court are no longer going to be clogged by an absence of interpreters, this important detail of efficiency having been taken up today by Judge James T.
