The Chronic SHOPPER,

It was a chronic woman shopper
who selected some purchases in a
store, asking that they be kept for her
until the next day. When she re-
turned she could not remember who
waited on her. After puzzling over
the matter she approached salesgirl
and asked: "Am the woman who
bought some embroidery here yester.
day." "Yes'm." replied the girl,
stolidly, and turned to get 1t.

Make a photograph Of the impress
sion of the lips on the glass and you
have picture of the kiss.
Easy-eh? Now listen to what
Miss Daisy Dugas, inventor of the
''kissograph, has to say. She is an
actress and thinking of patenting it
for Valentine stunt.
''The kiss" says Miss Dugas, 'is,a
symbol of human emotion. You can
read a persons character in his kiss
just as readily as you can his hand
shake. Several varieties of love are
expressed in OSCILLATION. And you can
study human nature by watching lip
saIutations of different individuals.
"Take for instance, when two
women meet. Their kiss is quick,
sketchy little affair, mere dab, you
might say.
"The kiss q mother gives her baby,
while gentle, is firm and warm, and
the one she aIlots her husband as he
leaves for the Office may be more In
the nature of a smack.
when recorded in hssagraph,
the lovers kiss is large, firm i'm
print, it's size depending upon the
warmth of emotion. The vampire
kiss, long and lingering, and the kind
that uses up so much film in present
day movies, registers itself in a hard
round impression when photograph
ed.
''This," concludes Miss Dugan, 'is
not a very nice sort of a kiss"

MAN SUCCEEDS, WOMAN FAILS IN
 TRYING SUICIDE Erastus Terwilliger, 66, Takes Own Life With
 Illuminating Gas. SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE IN PLAINVILLE Mrs. Olsen May Have Been Feigning Suicide Attempt,
 Surgeon Thinks.

Two attempts at self destruction by the use of Illuminating gas were dis covered this morning, one of which proved successful while the other was discovered and frustrated. The latter is believed to have been sham. Eras- tus Terwilliger, 66 years old, roomer at 265 State street, made the successful attempt to end his life while Maud Rogers, colored, 23 years old, of S39 Broad street, endeavored to asphyx- fate herself but did not succeed. No reason is known fo- either act though lit is believed Miss Rogers was an att tempt to scare a suitor.
 Terwilliger has been rooming for a year at the boarding house conducted by Mrs. Otto Olsen and up to two weeks ago has been working steadily. He, came to this city from Plainville, Conn.,, about two years ago after hav- ing some differences with his wife. He went to work at the Locomobile Co. and roomed at 621 South avenue. A year ago he left the automobile concern and accepted position at the plant of the Remington Arms Co. He has been working every day up to two weeks ago when he is said to have started drinking heavily. He was sleeping when Mrs. Olsen awoke this morning about o'clock to go to work. Passing Terwilliger's room, she no- ticed the door open and two gas jets in the room burning. Terwilliger was lying on the bed. Y
 Mrs. Olsen returned to, the house shortly after o'clock and found neighbors searching for escaping gas Opening her apartments, Mrs Olsen went to Terwilliger's room and found the door closed. The transon above the door was also closed, the first time Mrs. Olsen had ever saw it shut
 With the aid of neighbors, the door was forced and the gas, which was escaping from two jet.,. was shut off. There are no windows in the room. SC the Lody was carried into the kitchen Upon the arrival of the emergency corps which had been summoned, Dr. J. T. Powers worked on the body Terwillinger was carried to. fire es- cape by Detectives John Seery and Martin Kane, 90 that there would be plenty of air and the surgeon worked
 unceasingly for half an hour before admitting that there was no chance of resuscitation.
 Terwillinger left no note or gave any intimation of his act and his rel
 atives are at loss to account for the reason. He is survived by his wife
 who resides in Plainville, and five children, three sons, and two daugh- ters. One of the daughters is mar. ried to George T. Stone, timekeeper (Continued on Page 11)

ON
 CRANNIS ESTATE
 FOUND NOT LEGAL
Judge Webb Declares Board of Appraisal's Action
 Invalid.

The dity administration received a jolt today when Judse Webb of the superior court signed Judgment de- the board of appraisal in assessing camages on Beers street property owned by Charles F. Grannis of Wat erbury.
 In March, 1915, the board found Grannis' property was damaged to the extent of $1,00O by the extension of Beers street from Cliff to Main streets Grannis took an appeal to the superior court, claiming he had not been legally notified of the hear Ing. He said the notice was not sent to his proper address and had printed signatures instead of written or type written. A stipulation was drawn up by City Attorney Comlcy and Will liam B. Boerdnan, the latter repre- sent.ng Grannis. in which it vAx agreed that all issues should be found fer Grann:s with no costs for either party.
 Another decision handed down by Judge WeLb was in the suit broueht by injunction proceedings brought by F. L. Bradbury against the city to re- strain the clty rom OepOsitlnS sewage in the Pequonnock river on the west hank from Berkshire mill to tho Con- gress street bridge.
 The city asked that the injunction be modified because there have been unavoidable delays in ccnstructingthc new sewer, which win relieve condi- tions. The court extended the :ime when the injunction goes into effect until October l. Several extensions have already bssn granted.

ACCUSE POLICEMEN OF
 CHOKING AND BEATING
 BOY WHO FIRED PISTOL

Charges were lodged today with Commissioner John c. Stanley against Policemen Martin Gottschalk and Ed ward F. Bolger.
 The charges were preferred by James H. Kelly, cigar dealer of Fair field avenue as guardian for his son, James H. Jr., aged IT, who, it is al- legged was brutally beaten with both the fists and night sticks of the two policemen and also choked until semi conscious.
 The acts alleged more specifically in the complaint drawn under the di- rection of a local lawyer are said to have occurred almost in the yard of the Kelly home at 7S Sanford avenue at about 2 o'clock on the morning of July 4. At that time young Kelly much more youthful than his actual age denotes was haled to police head quarters accused of discharging a firearm containing blank cartridges. In the city court he was fined $5 and costs with others similarly accused.
 The account of the fracas as report ed to Commissioner Stanley by the Kelly boy is to the effect that the youth came out of his house and be- gan celebrating. He was approached by the policemen and without par ley or warning was grabbed by one who choked him while the other with full force of his clenched fists, struck

alysis. After careful observation of the victim both myself and the attend ing physician copcurred that the de- velopment of the case should be watched by other physicians. It is at least suspicious and we have isolated it. This is the only case as yet re- ported to us.'
 The only safeguards against a spread of the infection here and the care of children yet known to medical men was again reiterated by the health department:
 Keep the children clean.
 Keep them in good health.

 toes, bedbugs and especially f1eas

 Scientific research has made little progress in ''- study of the disease for the past twenty years. Though the Rockefeller institute has made re- search little has been added to known symptoms and means for prevention.
 New York to date has had 710 cases reported with 165 deaths. Comment ing on this fact pr. Mcclellan stated today that deaths are unusual, most of the cases remaining alive though their limbs are practically crippled.

him in. the face. Later the officers are accused of having beaten him with clubs. He was then placed under ar rest.
 Though this side of the case is pre- sented for public discussion, unfor- tunnately the gag rule ''No. 113" of the police manual, placed in effect under the order of the former presi- dent of the police board, George s. Hill, prevents either policeman from vindicating himself in private or pub lie until he appears before the com missioners.
 Rule No. 113 reads: "* all pub lications of a personal nature relating to official transactions within the de- pertinent or otherwise are strictly pro- hibited."
 It Is the belief of department of- fic!als today from assertions made at the time of arrest that the defense of both policemen will be resisting ar rest" though it is asserted that if the actual beating and choking charges are proved the officers will have difficulty in explaining why two physically per feet men had occasion to nanhandle a person of Kellys size.
 Gottschalk was appointed June 30, 1905. Bolger was named policeman March 3, 1909.

Three Appraisers To
 Fix Value To Wordin
 Land For Condemnation

The second step in the condefnna- ton of the Cedar creek property which the city desires for a. pumping station was taken Tn .the superior court this morning when Judge Webb granted a request by City Attorney Comley for the appointment of three appraisers who are to fix the value of the land. The court will name the appraisers lat"r.
 The property belongs to the. Ma thanicl Wordin estate and besides its frontage on the creek. has frontage of S45 feet on Bostwick avenue, TAG feet on Bird street and 500 feet on Morris street. The city at first tried to buy the property from the estate but as the price demanded appeared excessive it was determined to begin court proceedings.

Suspicion that infantile paralysis, the disease which '-as been ravaging New York city, is prevalent in Bridge
 port took definite form today when Dr. Edward A. Mcclellan ordered the
 transfer of Joseph Heigle./ aged 1 year, to Bridgeport hospital for clinical ob7 servAtion by specialists.
 Though the parents of the child as- sert vehemently that the paralysis
 which has developed in the child's arm accompanied by high fever since Sat- urday night is due to a fall, the at- tending physician decided that the case warranted the closest attention and this judgment was confirmed at noontime today by Health Officer Mo- Lellan.
 The child is son of Joseph Heigle, an employe of the U. M. c. company, living at 678 Stillman street. Accord ing to the parents the youngster was
 being carried in the arms of another child last Saturday when both fell down a flight of stairs. Swelling of the arm followed with high fever and digestive disturbances Dr. Mcclellan said today: "It is not to be assumed yet that this child is positively afflicted with infantile par

London, July 1.-The second phase of the great battle on the wester1s front has now begun. The artillery has been brought up to new positions and again is battering the German defenses. The bombardment extends as far north as La Bassee and Armen- tieres and, according to latest unoffi- cial advices. is particularly intense. British long range guns are. shellipgl the German positions and the roads in their rear and until the infantry again leave the trenches it will be uncertain where the next attacks are to be launched.
 In addition to inficting losses on Germans in guns and territory, the Anglo-French offensive is reported to have compelled them to withdraw some of their forces from the Verdnu front. Consequently. it is expected inl London that the army which forI nearly five months withstood the Ger some relief from continual fighting.
