France Following
 England's Changes
 on Maritime Stand

Paris. July s.-The French govern ment, following the example of Great Britain, has abandoned the declara- ton of London as an interpretation of maritime international law. A decree to that effect appears in this morn ing's official journal
 A memorandum Accompanying the decree says that the rule- of the Lon- don declaration were adopted by the entente allies at the beginning of the war as being the most expedient but that experience has shown that they did mot give the results expected, either in securing to belligerents a full exercise of rights or affording ade- quate guarantees to neutrals. Conse- uuently. the memorandum continues, circumstances obliged the allies to modify the rules of the declaration. But these successive notifications lead to false interpretations -r the al- lies motives. therefore they decided to return to the original rules of inter- national law as generally accepted In doing so, the memorandum con- cludes, the allies declare solemnly they will continue to observe the prin- ciples rtgidly, respecting lives and
 property of neutra1s and being ready
 to make compensation for any unjus- tihable damage caused to bona fide
 merchants.

DOUBTS SUICIDE
 THEORY IN DEATH
 OF TERWILLIGER

UT the belief that his father did not commit suicide, William Terwilliger, son of Erastus Terwilliger. whose body was found in his room yesterday morn ing at 265 State street with illumin- ating gas flowing from both jets, stated today that an investigation will be conducted in the hope that it can be showed that some one in the rooming house placed quarter in the gas meter when the supply became low and that because of this the fathers death was caused.
 Medical Examiner Garlick has made a finding of suicide but the members of the family are not satisfied that Terwilliger took his own life, and for that reason are endeavoring to ascer- tain whether anyone renewed the gas supply. Terwilliger is survived by his widow. three sons and two daughters.
 The burial will be in Mountain Grove cemetery.

join the parade in a miniature auto mobile, but shortly before the start was made the little machine broke down. This would have put an ordin- ary miss out of the running, but little Marion was not danted and in her Uncle Sam suit joined the march, CTS at the head of the column, along side Treasurer F. R. Hickman of the company, the marshal of the division. The following is a copy of the letter that accompanied the gift of the bracelet, which was presented by the committee in person:
 Dear Miss Marion:
 We thank you on behalf of the Locomobile Co. of America for march, ing with us at the head of the division in the parade on the Fourth of July.
 we feel that you got us the most of the applause. It was too bad that tthe little automobile that you were going to drive broke down and we think it showed excellent nerve on your part to stay with us and march the entire distance, which surely was a long walk for a little girl.

PARK
 TERRACE REALLY
 IS SELLING FAST
Waverly Development Co. s Holdings Make Especial
 Appeal to Homeseekers.

Situated in a most beautiful and healthful section on an elevation in North Bridgeport that commands wonderful view of Beardsley park and its expansive lake adjoining the Wa verly Development company short time ago opened a new tract of home sites at "Beardsley Park Terrace" Since the opening of the sale the lots have been very rapidly disposed of. The general surface up in this new development is sloping and runs down to meet the pretty lake, which en- hances the beauty of Beardsley park, one of the show places of the city. Long before the land sale was started many made reservations for parcels. One man alone seeing the wonderful future of the land values purchased B lots.
 Many have made an inspection of this property. Judges of land and real estate in this vicinity of Connecticut who have seen this wonderful develop ment were truly surprised when they learned the low prices which have been attached to these lots. Land in the northern part of the city is rapidly ascending skyward Bridgeport is fast becoming land shy. Brokers and spec ulators in this city, men who have been accredited with foresightedness now acknowledge that they have made one grave mistake, which it is too late to rectify, and that mistake was in not cornering all available large tracts of land in this city, hold this land and then sell lots in a year or two at prices that would be three. five and in some instances ten times higher than the purchase price. This would have been bit of real estate strategy that would have meant millions in profits to the speculator.
 "Beardsley Park Terrace'' is notable for the fact that although the lots arc being disposed of now at extremely low prices, still the value as attached to this property is hig-' Each day sees a goodly number of lots sold. And the disposal of every single lot means that one less lot exists for the home builder to obtain The Waverly Development company is doing; every l thing possible to assist purchasers of lots at Beardsley Park Terrace" It
 has been suggested that those who are desirous of soon being comfortably fixed in their own homes, can do this by bringing their families out of the
 hot and crowded city, pitching a tent
 on their lot and can thus live during the summer and the Indian summer to follow. By Nis means they are able to save tTfe difference between the small monthly payments on the
 lot and the rent that they have paid. | By the setting in : winter enough
 money can he saved by this method to start the building of home and then
 additional rooms can be added as needed.

FAIRGROUNDS IN N. '. AREsCL0SED
 BY BIG EPIDEMIC

New York. July S-Assistant Sur geon- General W. c. Rucker. of the federal public health service, came here today from Washington to con- fer with the local health officers and direct the six experts assigned by the national government to help com- bat the epidemic of infantile parziy- sis.
 The federal experts will concen- trate their efforts upon preventng the spread of the disease to. other, staees.
 These inspectors from the public hospital service." said Dr. Hayen, Emerson. the city health oomuks-' sioner, twill not take over our Fad-, ministration. They are empowered to go anywhere and adopt anysmeas- ures not allowed the experts of our, department. We cannot ge beyond the city limits"
 Dr. Emerson declared 1t would be impracticable to prevent parents and children from leaving the city even though they came from infected dis tricts. No known cases may be moved, however, and none will he permitted to leave New York and all persons in contact with the disease must remain here.
 The health officials attached little significance thus far to reports of isolated cases in other parts of the country outside New York state.
 Advces from other states, however, showed that state and municipal health officers were on their guard and taking precautions.
 The epidemic here has cast its shadow in many places. Children under 16 have been barred not only from moving picture shows but from all the amusements at Coney Island except those in the open air. Sixteen playground streets werec losed today and the opening of ss more was de- layed. The children's rooms in the public libraries and all playgrounds and lots were closed. Oil will be sprinkled on the surface of the park playgrounds to make them as dustiess as possible.
 Paterson, N. J.. July S-Two chil- dren were taken to the isolation hos pital today suffering from infantile paralysis Health officers canvassed the city and placed a number of other persons under observation.

Miss Marion Kerrigan, who, attired as Uncle Sam, was the principal fea- ture of the Locomobile Co.'S contribu- tion to the Fourth of July parade, was handsomely remembered by the parade committee of the large factory by the presentation of a beautiful solid gold bracelet watch and a very com plimentary letter of thanks. Miss Kerrigan is only 12 years of age and marched as proudly as any ot fhe pa- raders along the entire route without a falter.
 All along the line she was cheered and applauded and there were few that knew it was little girl who was marching at the head of the Locomo- bile division. Miss Kerrigan is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Ker- rigan of III High street. MT. Kerri- gan is a machinist, and one of the older employees of the Locomobile Co., having been for several years with the company. It was her intention to

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
 IS NOT FOR HUGHES,
 IS HALE'S STATEMENT

in a statement read to the Pro-
 gressive National Committee,
 said:
 T have expressed in my letter
 my views as to what I hope the
 action of the Progressives will be.
 I have explicitly refrained, and
 shall refrain, from asking any of
 ficial action of the Progressive
 National Committee, one way or
 the other.
 In conclusion MT. Hale said:
 Those members of the Progressive National Committee who favored the election of the Republican candidate could have done so as individuals or the formation Of league, this violation of one of the principles of the Progress sive party.
 Real Progressives are interested in Progressive principles. They will SUD- port no man for President who does not evidence a genuine willingness to practice, as well as preach, these prin- ciples. An attempt by a small group of men to deliver the Progressive party organization to the Republican in a manner which violates one of the most fundamental princi- pies of the Progressive party is an af- front to the sincerity of all Progress sives."
 May Come Out for Wilson.
 MT. Hale recently has made several visits to the headquarters of the Dem ocratic National Committee, and has had long conference with Chairman Vance c. Mccormick. It is expected that before many days he will be ac- lively identified with the Wilson cam paign, although he was not prepared to state last night whether he would come out for President Wilson or not

After Short Measure
 Gasoline Offenders

The state police have started cru sade against the growing practice of selling short measure gasoline to au- toists. Two arrests have already been made by Deputy State sealer of Weights and Measures Charles Fine of Litchfield County and it is probable that others will, be made in the next few days. The first arrest was made in East Hartford Thursday and the second arrest was made yesterday when E.. J. Smith, a Collinsville hard ware dealer, was arrested on a similar charge.
