COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE
 PRINTED BY COMPTROLLER.
Digest Contains List of Cases Thor oughEy Indexed and is Bound in Buckram.

The decisions of the compensation commissioners from Jan. 1, 1914, when the act went into effect, to May 31, 1916, have been printed by the comp troller. The act providing for the printing of these books designates the secretary of state as the proper per- son to seal the books, but the commits sioncrs consented to act as the agents oC the secretary, as those who would naturally desire the publication do most of their business through the commissioners.
 The digest contains a list of cases and is thoroughly indeXed. It has 732 pages and is well bound in bucllram. The legislature authorized the print ing of 2,50O copies, TOO copies to be given to the commissioners, 300 to the state librarian and 1,5CO copies to be sold by the secretary of state at cost. The commissioners have voted to turn over the TOO copies which had been reserved for them to the secretary, as every copy given away by commis- siOner kills a sale of a book. There fore, no copies will be given away either by the commissioners or by the comptroller. The 300 copies used by the state librarian will be sent to other states under the system of exchanges in operation in hIs office.

 Thousands from New York.
 Reports to the state board of health from New London and Windham cOun- ties show widespread alarm at the spread of infantile paralysis in view of the thousands of children from New York and other large cities who are spending the summer at shore resorts.
 It was said that there are more than 5000 New York children under sixteen in New London and Windham coun- ties. MC@t of them are being watched for evidences of the disease. pr. Black said seven New York children with certificates from the United States public health service showed evidence of infantile paralysis a few days after they were admitted by the health au- thOrities of New London county towns.
 County and town health officers are taking united action in an effort to isolate all New York children. Thirty health districts have established abso- lute quarantine.
 
 are crowded into @ single farmhouse or cottage. So great and sudden has been the influx of New York youngs- ters that to provide accommodations for them barns, wOOdhOuses and even hencOODs have been reqUisitiOned.
 A three weeks quarantine, the pc riOd of incubation for infantlle paraly- sis, was lifted from the home of John GarVey at 55 RiVerview avenue, New London, by the health department on Wednesday. The house was quaran- tined as a precautionary measure three weeks ago. At that time a PrenO boy of Connecticut avenue, in whose fam fly a case of the disease had developed and been taken to the cOntagion ward went to the Riverview avenue house health department and it was deemed advisable to quarantine the house where there are two children.
 Examining Recent Arrivals.
 Wednesday the health department caused several children, recent ar rivals in the city from New Jersey, to be examined. Although the children did not come from the infected dis
 Inspector Frank Savage reported to the department that there were no children either on the New London line steamer or on trains in New London Tuesday night or Wednesday.
 Except the PintOv child who was taken to the cOntagiOn ward from Waterford Tuesday afternoon, the con- diti0n of infantile paralysis patients is good. The condition of the Pintov child is about the same as it was when it arrived at the hospital

The infantile paralysis situyation re- mained unchanged in this city on We'd nesday. City Health Officer Edward J. Brophy said Wednesday evening that no cases have been reported here. Norwich is fortunate in this respect, as it seems to be the only city in this section that has escaped the plague. This is attributed to the strict quar- antIne methods that are being carried out in this city.
 Tessie Standard, the 5 year old child brought to the Backus hospital on Tuesday as a suspicious case, has de- VelOped the disease, which made it's appearance on Wednesday. The case has been turned over to the local au- thOrities. This makes four cases at the hospital contagion ward now.
 The health officials of PaSsaic, N. J., are following Dr. Brophy's methods, as they have decided it as unwise to accept health certificates from New York. They are now excluding New York children under Is years of age. This has been brought about by the fact that a child having New York health certificate developed the dis ease after being allowed to enter the city Dr. BrOphy's opinion is that it is not wise to accept the New York health certificates.
 Windham Bars All Children.
 By an order issued Wednesday by Dr. F. E. Wilcox of Willimantic un- der the advice of Attorney William A. King, Windham county health officer, all children under 16 years of age are forbidden to enter Windham. Over the telephone Wednesday night Dr. Wilcox said that any AVindham children visit ing in other places would be allowed to enter and return to their homes, provided they have with them health certificates, properly made out, but that no outside children will be all lowed to enter Windham, even if they have health certificates.
 This step is taken to safeguard the people of the town of Windham from an epidemic of iufantile paralysis. The highways connecting Windham with Chaplin, Scotland, Lebanon and other towns will be placarded with warn ings, and at South Wjndham a man will be stationed who will watch all automobiles and other vehicles to pre- vent children from coming into the town of WinGham unless they have clearance cards. There are a lot of people in the city who feel that a guard system should be established by the city covering Columbia, Hebron and Colchester, where it is known that there are cases of infantile paralysis. County Health Officer William A. King feels that the situation is @ serious one and thar everything should be done to eliminate the possibility of an epidemic There is only one case in the city and that is said to be a mild one. It is the year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Arthur Dion of Lebanon avenue, and 9 strict quarantine has been established at the house.

Murphy Plays Good Game in outfieId.

WUTPhy Plays Good Game no OUtFIsId.
 Manager O'Hara's need of a right fielder for the Lawrence team has re- suited in the placing of Denny Mur- phy, the lCcaI boy, in that garden. Murphy bids fair to make as good an outfeIder as he does a catcher. The Lawrence Daily Eagle has the follow ing to say about Murphy's work in Saturdays game:
 Denny Murphy played great ball for Lawrence at Lynn Saturday. He col Iected one hit in the first game which scored LaWrence's two runs. He picked up two hits in the second game and figured in two double plays, one going to the plate and the other to first. He had three putouts and one assist in each game. and sonQs were very fine catches. Murphy's playing was certainly of a high order.
 Murphy's cut accompanies the arti- cle in tho Eagle.
