Pleasant Valley prop erty owners who have long been fear ing displacement from the same source are somewhat treasured by the pulp lished statement of a water company official that the present storage dams considerably further down afford all the storage facilities which the conn., pany needs in connection with the Aspetuck river supply. They feel, however, that while the flooding of Pleasant Valley may be remote it is certain to come eventually. In fact officers of the company have made declarations to this effect with the qualifying assertion that the valleys submersion may not occur until fifty years hence.

Kaiser Lays Wreath
 on Emperor's Bier

Amsterdam, Nov. 29.-A Berlin off, cial telegram says that the German Emperor arrived in Vienna in the forenoon yesterday but left the city in the evening. Owing to a slight cold the Emperor's physician prevailed upon him to abandon his intention of attending the funeral of Emperor Francis Joseph. The telegram says:
 The German Emperor refused to renounce his duty of bidding farewell both personally and as supreme lord of the allied German forces to the de- ceased ruler. The Emperor stayed quietly in prayer at the bier of Fran cis Joseph, on which he laid 8 wreath. The Emperor especially requested that no official reception be recorded him. The day was thus devoted quietly to the memory of the deceased and to 8 talk with the young imperial couple, with whom the Emperor expressed an urgent desire to have long visit In these earnest days"

RhinOcerOS Horn Is Typhoid Remedy Used
 By Doctors of China

Wenchow, Chekiang Province, China, Nov. 29-Rhinoceros horn is one of the chief remedies resorted to by Chinese doctors in the treatment of typhoid fever.
 An epidemic of typhoid recently swept through this city and resulted in the death of many persons During the epidemic foreigners had an op- portunfty to study the treatment of the disease used by native physicians.
 Cold towels were applied to the head of the patient while the abdo- men was covered thickly with mud kept cool and moist by frequent ap- plication of cold water. Some of the more prosperous patients were given as much as twelve dollars worth of ground rhinoceros horn in a single day.

THREE CUTTERS
 ARE ASKED FOR C0ASTLAL GUARD

Washington, Nov. 29-Construction of three new cutters with modern radio apparatus, and repair and ex- tension of telephone and telegraph lines used in it's work were recom- mended to Congress today in the an- nual report of Capt. E. P. Bertholf, commandant of the Coast Guard ser vice. The cutters asked would cost together $1,1O0,000 and be stationed at Detroit, Honolulu and Beaufort, N. c. Particular emphasis was laid on the need for a cutter at Beaufort, the report saying at present cutters must go to assist ships in distress off Hatteras, ''the birthplace of dere- licts,' either from Norfolk or Will mington and that a vessel stationed here would prove of invaluable as- sistance.
 In speaking of the existing radio sets, the report says nine of the cut ters in service are equipped with ob- solete apparatus because of lack of funds, although Congress has reQuir- ed all merchant sea-goers to install auxiliary apparatus.
 To put the 1,50O miles of telephone and cable lines owned by the sercvice in good condition the report asks for $50,000 and to connect stations in out of the way points with commercial telephone or telegraph lines about $85,00 additional.
 Owing to increasing difficulty in se- curing engineer officers a recOm- mendation is made for the authoriza- tion of an engineer corps along the line of a guard.
 During the last year 1,276 persons were saved from peril or death by the guard and vessels valued at $1O,509,- 655 assisted. The service spent during the year $5,525,717

NEITHER INSPIRED
 NOR AUTHORIZED;
 SAYS MIR. BARNES
Emphatic Disclaimer Has Ref erence to Famous Bedding
 Booze" Article.

Bedding, Nov. 29-"I did not in- spire, authorize or countenance the article in question and I wish you would make my disclaimer as em- phatic as possible. This I request be- cause in the Farmers Bedding letter of last week there was an intimation to the contrary. In conversation did say something censuring the use of liquor in connection with the late election and that is all." In this de- cided fashion Herbert s. Barnes. speaking to the writer over the phone, disavowed responsibility for the arti- cle published by the Danbury News and the Newtown Bee regarding the alleged prevalence of booze as a ,fea- ture of the special election held two weeks ago. The article had a hectic, sp1enetic tone which to some per sons sounded like the vail of sore loser and hence their conjecture that the defeated candidate might have borne some part in it's making or pub 1ication. His denial on this score is given entire credence by your corre- spondent and will doubtless have the same consideration from the general public. '
 So much has the "booze" accusa- tion been in the public mind and con- versation that there was some expec- tatiOn that it might find an echo, per .haps in the way of elaboration or pos sibly of deprecation in the sermon de- 1ivered at the Episcopal church last Sunday by Rev. Raymond Cunning ham, the rector, the reason for such anticipation being the fact that notice had been given that the day would be observed as Temperance Day. The expectation was wholly disappointed While temperance was the theme of the rector's discourse it's tone was en- tirely conservative. He deplored the extent Of the drinking habit in the community, but said that the use of wine under any and all circumstances was not. to be condemned because to- tai inhibition lacked the warrant of Scriptural authority. At the same time the speaker earnestly enjoined the practice of temperance as one of the cardinal Christian virtues and urged avoidance of even the moderate use of intoxicants for the sake of the good example thereby set for others

tice to Judge Whitney and Judge
Brown, who are absent, and person
ally unable to reply to the article ap-
pearing over the signature of Mr.. D.

II is very significant that Mr.. Will

Judge Brown published, under date
OF May gath, in which he stated that
after years of personal acquaintance,
and prior to his going on the bench,
that Judge whitney and himself
formed a partnership for the practice
of law, and that Judge Whitney had
personally known him as lawyer
for more than twelve years, and stat
ed that he was going to vote for him
for Judge, which indicated Judge
Whitney's confidence in his illness
and qualification for the position.
