SMALLPOX CASES
IN STATE HOSPITAL
AT WATERBURY
Miss Agnes Spellacy, Nurse, Has Posi-
tive Case Although Not Very Ill
Strict Quarantine I'm
posed

Waterbury, May 24.--For several days
pital for the insane have been under OBJ.
servation, DIR. Ladd of the state board oi
health being here Monday and both Drs
Ladd and Dalton yesterday, when one
case was pronounced smallpox and two
others probably So The positive case is
Miss Agnes Spellacy, one of the nurses.
and Miss Vera Ballou, another nurse,
has a suspicious case.
The cases are isolated on a ward and
all nurses and those in any way caring
for them are by themselves. The en-
tire hospital is also under strict quar-
antine, all are confined to the grounds
and no visitors will be allowed.
The cases are easily traced to the Es-
sex Junction case, as one OF the nurses
at the hospital was on the train with her
and is thought now to have had the dis
ease. The cases are very light, in fact,
the patients do not feel like remaining
in bed, although they are asked to do so.
The cases developed peculiarly. There
will be q general vaccination and all
possible precautions taken. Little anx-
iety is felt in town over the matter, as
Supt. Wasson and his assistants are aid
ing the state board Of health in every
way, and there needs to be very little
contact between the hospital and the viii
lage. The quarantine at the hospital
will, of course, remain until conditions
are changed.

PERSHING TO BAR
NEWSPAPER MEN
General Strongly Opposes Having Them
Accompany His
Army.

Washington, May 24.--American news,
papers and press associations probably
will have to depend on the eourtesies oil
the Franco-British governments for rep
resentation with "Pershing's 25,0o0" at
the front
Gen. Pershing, it became known yes
terday, is very strongly opposed to any
American newspapermen going with him
or with his forces.
Secretary Baker is opposed to Amer
lean newspapermen accompanying the
force to Europe, but he has not decided
whether they Ought to be quartered at
the front with Gen Pershing's troops.
The question is being threshed out.
If the present plan holds after the force
has been at the front several weeks,
Cen Pershing will decide whether Amer
lean newspapermen from this side should
be permitted to join him. Before def
mite arrangements are made, however,
Gen. Pershing. if he desires, can seek ad-
vice from French and British military
heads.
A high military authority said yester-
day, however, that ''of course Gen. Per-
shing could forget to ask such advice"

EMPHATIC DISAPPRovAL
of Participation BY American Socialists
in Stockholm Conference.

Washington, d G., May 24.--Emphatic
disapproval of the peace propaganda OF
European Socialists was expressed yes
terday by the American government,
which denied passports to American dele
gates to the Stockholm conference and
issued warning that any American tax
ing part in the negotiations would be le-
gally liable to heavy punishment.
No formal announcement of purpose
was issued, but officials explained that
the governments course would have the
two-fold effect OF discrediting generally
any peace moves by unauthorized per
sons and OF condemning in particular
the present Socialist agitation, regarded
since its inception as inspired by Ger
many.
In making known the decision not to
give passports to the American Social
lists designated 10 take part in the Stock
holm conference, Secretary Lansing cited
the Logan act OF 1909 as defining the
panishments which might be expected by
any American now in Stockholm or who
might 20 there without a passport snd
participate in the peace discussions. I'm
der this law unauthorized persons who
directly or indirectly treat with foreign
agents regarding controversies OF the
United States may be imprisoned for
three years and fined 5000.

Suit When London Firm
Admits Charge.

London. May 24.-The action brought
by Henry T. Huntington of New York
against a London firm of art dealers for
the return of 100000 paid for an al
legged Romney came to sensational
end yesterday morning when the defend.
ants admitted the canvas was not by
Romney and agreed to return the $780,
600 with interest and all costs. Since
court adjourned Tuesday the original
sketch by Humphrey had been discov-
cred, and the defendants agreed that the
the picture was by that painter. They
offered to present it either to the Ma
tion Portrait gallery OF London or to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art of New
York.
The trial, which had lasted seven days,
created great interest. The evidence of
famous artists was taken for and against
