He Got His Men.


 Three years ago two missionaries were killed in northern Canada near ! the Arctic Circle. From somewhere in that far north country report yes- l terday reached Ottawa that the mur- l derers had been caught and were 1 being brought out for trial
 News of crime travels slowly in that wild, barren winter land: but when. several weeks after the death of the missionaries, the meagre details reached one of the stations of the Northwestern Mounted Police patrol an inspector was sent to find the mur- derers. There is a tradition among the men of this force that assigned to uch a mission you either yet your men or you do not come back.
 The inspector finally traced the crime to @ tribe of Eskimos which had an evil reputation in the north. Some of the members were being hunted for the murder in 1912 of Harry Vincent Radford, the American explorer, and his companion, George Street, 8 Canadian. Peaceful Eskimos living along the coast warned the in spector and his assistants that an at tempt to go inland would mean death. They told of the murder by this tribe of two prospectors whom they had mistaken for police. There would be almost a thousand of the tribe sworn to resist the arrest of any of their number against the three or four men that the inspector could muster. Te paluc, the guide of Radford and Street, could not be persuaded to re- turn to the land of the murderers and ! TO members of any neighboring tribe ] could be induced to undertake such a ! hazardous journey
 The story of those three years of 1 search in the Arctic cold, of trailing i by dog sledges and snowshoes battling ! a way through storms, across barren i lizard swept wastes and among a murderous hostile people. if ever told, would be an absorbingly interesting narrative of adventure. Three years IS a long time for such a continuous struggle against obsta cles; no weak ling could finally have brought out his men.

AUTHORITIES ACT ON PARALYSIS CASE KenSington House Placed Under -E
 Quarantine by Health Officer 7 WOMAN TOOK QUININE
1frs. Uric Lenoie the Victim, Has Lived Here But Four Months 7 '' '''''0 0' 0
 Of P. O. S. A. at Whitman's.

"A strict quarantine has been placed on the house and every pre- tcaution will be taken to prevent any spread of the disease" said Dr. R. M Griswold in discussing the case of Mrs. Uric Lenoie this morning. The woman lives across from the Paper Goods company. She came here with her husband about four months ago from Canada. For a time MT. Lenoie
 was employed by George Baldwin,
 but is now said to be working in New Britain. From reliable source, 1t has been found that Mrs. Lenoie took forty grains of quinine On Tues
 day. For what purpose is not known,
 but it required the efforts of several
 neighbors to wake her from the coma
 produced by the drug. pr. Ravizza
 of New Britain was summoned and treated the woman. He reported the case to Dr. Griswold and late Thurs
 day evening, symptoms of infantile paralysis appeared. She was imme- diateIy taken to the isolation hos
 pital in Hartford to undergo treat
 ment. The house and contents have
 been thoroughly fumigated and a
 quarantine has been placed on the house.
 At first, it was impossible to find any facts which would substantiate Mrs. Lenoie having come in contact
 with the disease, but this morning another light was thrown On the mat ter. Marcelle Haugher, eleven years old, of Center street, Meriden has been visiting her grandm other, who occu- pies the fiat next to the Lenoies for the past month. Dr. Griswold and First Selectman William H. Gibney conferred regarding the case this morning and a strict quarantine will be upheld.
 Regarding the paralysis scare, Dr. Griswold has sent the following com muntcation to the Herald:
 Editor Herald
 E. Dear Sir:-In view of tho general alarm over the epidemic Of Tnfantile Paralysis throughout the state, and to the fact that while we in Berlin have had no cases of the disease up to Thursday, when the first case was found, yet there is little occasion for any general alarm This case was re- moved within three hours after dis covery and the premises thoroughly unigated.
 fAs it is a matter which concerns the public safety, I feel that every one should be informed of all facts
 which may have any bearing on the

 Even those who oppose his re-elec-
 ion will admit the president is a fairly l industrious man. Althought he ad- l vocates an eight-hour day for railroad | men he now commences work himself at a. m. and is kept busy until late into the evening. His veto of the army bill and the message that ac-
 companied it shows the meticulous
 care with which he must examine the
 measures that he signs. Tn addition
 to watching legislation prodding con-

 selecting a Mexican commission, keep
 ing tabs on Carranza, making com
 plaints to Great Britain and Germany.
 finding and appointing new Judges
 and other federal officials he has
 just now to hold the lengthy con-
 ferences with some $40 representa-
 t'ves of railway labor and bring them into agreement with 100 or more rail- way presidents and 100, ,00o, 900 Ameri- cans. In addition to all this he Is SUD- posed to keep an eye to his campaign and hold himself ready to answer the attacks that are being made upon his administration. We are not sur prtsed to read that he has been too busy to sign the 1 1,000 or more officers commissions issued under the army kill which became effective July 1 and that legislation is urged that will re- lieve him of this and other similar duties.
 The country Is too big for one man to perform all the duties that are as- signed to the president under the constitution, and it seems urgently necessary that some measure of relief should soon be passed.
 Pending the adoption of such a law we find ourselves constrained to won der whether the vice-president could rot be put to work. He is authorized to act in case of the inability" of the president and the inability of one man to do all the work that now de- wolves upon the head of our govern ment is surely self-evident.

matter, and to especially request that all cases of sudden death or of sick ness which is at all suspicious, should be at once reported
 My attention is daily called to the fact that many children from towns out or the state, are coming into Ber- 1n, and l wish to say that every such case, so far as known, has been re- ported to this office, and that I have a record of them, and they are all under observation.
 In cases of children leaving an in fected district and coming to Berlin l receive certificate from the health officer of the city or town from which they come, by the following mail. Some may have escaped observation from the towns from whence they came, and for that reason I ask every one knowing of 8 child coming into town from elsewhere, to take the trouble to notify me, and those cases
 For the past month I have devoted a considerable part of each day to looking up these cases, and Issuing certificates to children who wish to go out of town, and to answering all kinds of inquiries, both by telephone and in person, and am doing this with out charge, although it is part of the legitimate work for which a health of ficer usually expects compensation.
 Tn only ask that the public will not be unduly alarmed, and that they will do everything they can to help me keep the town of Berlin as clean as possible, and give heed and "or- dial assistance to the health officials by keeping their premises cleaned Up, small children off the streets as much as possible, and away from public gatherings.
 I have been through two or three epidemics of this disease, and I think I know something about 1t, and if we should be so unfortunate a to have other cases, I trust the people of Der lin will understand that the situation will be handled as carefully and as conscientiously as possible.
