Heal Running Sores
 and Conquers Piles

''I feel it my duty to write you letter of thanks for your wonderful Peterson's Ointment. I had a run ming sore on my let leg for one year. began to use Peterson's Ointment three weeks ago and now it is healed" "A. C. Gilbrath, 703 Reed St., Erie, Pa.
 I'd rather get a letter like that, says Peterson, than have John D. Rockefeller give me thousand dol lars. It does me a lot of good to be able to be of use to my fellow men.
 For years I have been selling through druggists a large box of Peterson's Ointment for 25 cents. The healing power in .iiis ointment is marvellous. Eczema pes in a few days. old sores heal uiN like magic; piles that other remedies do not seem to even relieve are spt t>1ily con. Quired.

He said he did not want to wait till some calamity occurs and then have the council or the safety board blamed for not taking preventa- tive measures. The councilman gave the fire department great credit for the heroic manner in which they work under present handicaps. and used the recent Hotel Bronson fire, when a lack of men caused delay in using the antiquated aerial ladder, as an- other argument for more men and additional equipment.

FESHLER TO APPEAR
 IN COURT TOMORROW
Will Be Charged With Breach of the Peace and Carrying Con-
 cealed Weapon.

Once a private in the armies of Rus sia. afterwards a soldier of fortune and since coming to America, a mechanics 8 apprentice bent on learning the manu- featuring methods of his new home, Otto Feshler of 320 Main street, better known as Walter Feshler, will face charges of breach of the peace and carrying a concealed weapon as soon as he recovers sufficiently from the rife wound in his right hand, received yesterday at the plant of the Corbtn Screw Division of the American Hard ware Corporation when he went on & homicidal rampage and defied a posse of police.
 He is still at New Britain General hospital where he underwent an operation this morning for removal of the bullet. Dr. George w. Dunn operated. It has not been determined whether the hand will be permanently crippled. It Is expected that he will have recovered sufficiently for arraign- ment tomorrow before Judge James T. Meskill in police court.
 There are three other brothers. Questioned as to Otto, they were un- able to give any reason why he should have acted so strangely and viciously unless his mind broke down from long breeding over the European war, overstudy of manufa curing methods and too much attention to religion. He is 37 years old and unmarried. He lived in New Britain about five years, returned to Europe for about three, and came back to America shortly before the outbreak of the war. Be- fore returning to New Britain, he had lived in Philadelphia and New Haven. According to relatives and fellow workmen, he is a total abstainer and his condition can not be credited to alcoholic stimulants.
 It has been learned that Feshler could not have been laboring under any imaginary grievance against Fore man Nuss as the foreman never had anything to do with F'eshler outside the ordinary routine of their work. He realized that Feshler was a pe- culiar character and avoided him ex- cept when 1t was necessary to con- verse regarding the work.

TO ASK AID ON
 SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Local Representative Will Present Bill to Legislature Seeking
 Appropriation.

One of New Britains representa- tives, probably Representative Ed ward F. Hall, will be called upon to introduce bill in the legislature providing for a state appropriation of about $25.000 to conduct an experi- mental station at the New Britain sewer beds for a year in an attempt to solve the question of proper sew age in this city.
 The sewer question has long been Q trying one to the city and already a fortune has been expended in various ways on the old and new systems. Yet, with all that has been done, the present method of sewage disposal Is still far front satisfactory Streams are polluted from the sewer bed over1ows and the city spends thousands of dollars in settlement of damage suits
 Mayor George A. Quigley has con- suited with a number of leading en- gineers about the country and not one of them will state definitely what system should be used here. They all make recommendations, but none will guarantee the desired results and in conclusion each one has recom- mended the establishment of an ex- perimental station to determine just what plan Is the best. The mayor is an advocate of having the state ap- propriate moneys to finance such a station and feels that it should do so as an improved system for New Britain would be a great asset to the state. Not only would 1t benefit New Britain, but it would also benefit Berlin, Cromwell and Middletown, as we'll as other places. While the city would, have to stand the expense of installing new permanent system, it is hardly capable of maintaining such an expensive experimental plant and 1t is expected that the proposed bill will receive strong support from New Britainites.

 Tire second bill of the session was likewise introduced by Senator Klett. It provided for the appointment of Judge w. H. Williams of Derby as state referee. Judge Williams. as a ] superior court judge, was given a high tribute. He recently suffered a shock and will be unable to preside over that body again.
 No Flowers For c. o. P.
 Noticeable in the senate chamber was the absence of any floral tributes on the desks of any of the republican senators. The three senators from the first. second and third districts Senators Broder, Hemenway and Kop- pleman, all had bouquets from their admirers, and Senator Koppleman had two. Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wilson was the only republican to be so favored and he received a man. moth bouquet of roses from "The Boys. Looking about the senate chamber and seeing no flowers on the desks of any but democrats, Senator koppleman with humor remarked to the lieutenant governor "Now you're one of us."
 In the house of representatives, Representatives Edward F. Hall and Richard Covert each took his seat for the first time yesterday Each fell in with the line of work naturally and appears to be well suited to the po- sition. It is expected that each man will receive an appointment to an inn portant committee.
 Legislative Notes.
 There were number of New Brit ain people as spectators at the legis- lature yesterday. Among them were Rev. Milton S. Anderson of the Emmanuel Gospel church and also Rev. J. Leo Sullivan of St. Joseph's church.
 John Tomaszewski of this city re- ceived his appointment as messenger of the senate without opposition.
 Aaron Danielson was reappointed as assistant superintendent of the capitol building by the house without opposition
 Frank Del Mastro, the legislative barber, is expected to be calling the senators and representatives by their first names in short time. All New Britain lacks now is 8 representative in the dining room.
 Senator Klett called a turn on Sen- ator Hurley of Waterbury yesterday afternoon. The Waterbury senator was not present when the others were sworn in, yet he subsequently took his seat and voted against a measure proposed by Senator Klett The latter reminded the president pro tenn that one of the body had voted without having taken the oath of office. The oath was immediately administered.
 While the press of New Britain and other cities was fully represented by male reporters, 1t remained for the New Haven Journal-Courier to send the only woman representative. She is Miss Annie Whelan and is not at all non plussed by hob-nebbing with the great solons.
 Joe" Mullin of Hartford. dean of the senatorial press row. Is consid- cred an authority on legislative mat ters. His advice was freouently sought by clerk senators and prest- dent alike. "Joe' was formerly on the New Britain Herald.
