NOT INFORMED OF DEATH OF FATHER
Children of Engineer Curtis Do
 Not Realize He Is Gone

New Haven, Feb. 26.-"I can say nothing. I know nothing. I don't want to blame any one for anything because I have not the facts"
 So spoke Mrs. William R. Curtis widow of the engineer of train No. 5, which crashed into the Connecticut river special at Milford.
 Her two fatherless children, Isa- belle aged seven, and Stephen, 6 years old played about her. They were unconscious of the death of their father.
 The Curtis home at Stamford, is newly furnished one. There is every outward evidence that the family are happy and thrifty.
 Praises Her Husband
 My husband was a good ban" said Mrs. Curtis, yesterday. He had no bad abits and he was devoted to his family. He had been railroading for sixteen years, eleven years an engineer. He had no regular run but was on what is known as the spare board, that is, he was an extra en- gineer. He was a careful man."
 When it was pointed out to Mrs. Curtis that the statement of the rail road company seemed to blame her husband for the accident she said.
 1T know the dead cannot defend themselves against such charges, but I am sure, that everybody who knew him is sure,, that William was a care ful engineer, and that he always had the safety of the passengers in mind"
 Curtis days work since taking Tn omas' place, Mrs. Curtis said con sisted of two trips from Stamford to 1 New Haven, and two trips from New Haven to Stamford.
 He was in the habit of leaving home at 6:10 in the morning and returning about 7:15 in the evening.

FEDERAL CONTROL
 FOR TUBERCULOSIS
National Association Proposes Division in United States Public Health
 SaJH-ipa
Especial to the HeraId.)

New York, Feb. 22.-Participation 1 of the federal government through the United States public health service in the study and control of tuberculosis is urged by a resolution adopted by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis made pub lie today.
 The National association proposes that by act of congress a special divi- sion of tuberculosis be esta blished in the United States public health ser vice with an adequate appropriation This division should be manned by ex- perts and should study the tuberculosis problem from every point of view and should, so far as possible, set up stand ards for the treatment and preVen- tion of the disease throughout the country. One of the problems which it is proposed to study first would be that of the indigent migratory con- sumptive, particularly in the health re- sorts of various parts of the United States, such as California, New Mex ico, Colorado and Texas. Another problem which it is proposed should be studied is that relating to the causes Of tuberculosis. A bill intro duced by Congressman Kent of Cali
 
 Norris of Nebraska in the senate pro- vides for some of the things which the National association asks for and also for federal subsidy to hospitals car- | ing for nonresident consumptlVes. l Commenting on the resolution, Dr. | Charles J. Hatfield, executive secre- l tary of the National association TOT | the study and Prevention of Tubercul- 1 OSiS saws. f'In spite of the fact that l tuberculosis is costing the United States from $5O0,o0O,OOO to $1,O0O,- | 900, 900 every year in lives lost, the | amount of money being spent annual l ly by all private and pubic -agencleS is not much more than $2O, O,O0O,OOO
 and while a nationwide crusade t(
 stamp out tuberculosis has been or
 ganized. we are still ignorant of man!
 of the factors that produce 1t. lev
 thousand dollars wisely spent in sclen I tific research under Federal superVl
 sion will secure results of incalcuapl
 benefit to this country.

NO DECISION ON : CONNECTICUT APPEAL
Bankers from This End of State Want Transfer to New York Re-
 serve District.

Washington, Feb 26.-The Federal Reserve board yesterday took up two appeals for modification of reserve district boundaries and disposed or one of them by which the greater part of the state of Louisiana is trans ferred from the Dallas to the Atlanta district The petition of the western Connecticut, previous to the establish from the Boston to the New York district was discussed at length, but no decision was reached.
 The brief of the bankers commit tee urged that the banks of western Connecticut, previous to the esta bl1Sh- ment of the Federal Reserve system did all their business with New York banks, and the change to Boston hts caused numerous disadvantages for which the new system gave no promise of remedy. General business, 1t was asserted, was delayed by the slOWness of cashing checks and exchange was
 delayed usually two days, while under the former practice all business could be cleared up every day.
 In the case Ot the Louisiana banks nearly the same argument was made. Factors in the cotton, rice and sugar industries had formerly strong con- nectiOns with New Orleans, and they wished to have them restored, if pos 1 sible. The board, in view of the large volume of exchanges involved, decid d l to grant the request.
