These claims, the note sets forth.

JOSEPHINE DASKAM BACON.

Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon, we'll known as a writer of short stories, essays and verse, was born in Stamford, Conn. Al years ago to- day, Feb. IT, 1876. Her father, H. Sawyer Daskam, was descendant of the old Huguenot family of d'Askam, while, her mother was descended from the A1dens who came over in the Mayf1ower. It was while she was a student at Smith College that Miss Daskam began her literary career. She was made the editor of the col lege monthly, and in 1900 published a volume of Smith College Stories. D This was speedily followed by another collection of girls stories. She made her first decided impression on the general public with magazine story. ''The Madness of Philip" and soon she was contributing stories and verses to the leading magazines of America, under the name of Josephine Dodge Daskam. In 1903 she became the bride of Selden Bacon, a prominent New York lawyer, and changed her lit- erary name to Josephine Daskam Ba- con. Among her many successful literary works since then, perhaps the best known is "The Memoirs of a Baby volume that will never cease to amuse parents.

COuCRESSBECINS ITS FINAL SPuRT
 OF THE SESSION

Washington, Feb. 19-Congress to- day started it's next to the last week of the session with the general legis- lative session somewhat as follows:
 In the senate the espionage and anti-conspiracy bill was up for final action Next the revenue bill and na- val bill, carrying $553, 100000, will be pushed. Most of the legislative con- gestion exists in the senate. In the house the Danish West Indies bill was up for passage today and the army bill, carrying $247 ,00O ,000, prob ably will be passed tomorrow and sent to the senate. Other measures which are to be pressed in the house imme- diately, according to present plans, are the sundry civil and general de- ficiency appropriation bills and the military academy bill. The post of fee appropriation bill, with the senate "bone dry' prohibition amendment, may be called up Tuesday.
 What national emergency Legislation is to be passed during the remaining two weeks rests largely with Presi- dent Wilson and the development of the German sumbarine situation, but considerable effort will be made to get action on the bill to empower the gov ernment shipping in case of war. Some doubt seems to exist among congress sional leaders whether railroad labor legislation, the rivar and harbor bill and other general measures can be passed before adjournment
 The house rules committee met to- day to draft its report on the leak Investigation, which probably will be presented later this week.

FIVE AMERICAN SHIPS APPROACH
 BLOCKADE ZONE

New York, Feb. 19-Five Amerf- can ships from xhis port are now on the high seas headed for the zone of German submarine warfare and several others are ready for immedi- ate departure. Three of these vessels, the Orleans and the Rochester, for Bordeaux, and the Owego for Genoa, now are approaching the blockade line in the bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean.
 The City of Pueblo, freighter of 2,264 tons, owned by the Harvey Steamship Co.,, got away yesterday for Havre. Her captain and 13 other officers are Americans The crew are to receive a war bonus of 50 per cent. of their pay at the end of the voyage.
 Among the American ships ready to sail today are the Algonquin, a freighter, and the Mongolian, which is equipped to carry passengers.
 In addition to the City of Pueblo, 12 steamers sailed from New York yesterday, presumably by routes that will carry them through the zone of blockade. Three vessels, one of them an American, arrived after passage through the restricted area.
 Health department reports show that seven million pounds of food brought to this port by ships during the last 2O' weeks has been condemned and destroyed as unfit for consump- tion. The value is estimated at $1,- 000,0O0. Lucius P. Brown, head of the food and drug division of the health department, says that part of the condemnation was due to war conditions, including delays in arri- val and the loading of perishable cargoes in ships not designed for such purposes.
 The food condemned however, is only a very small part of the total re- ce1ved here. Health Commissioner Emerson estimates the seizure at about one-fifth of one per cent. of the arrivals.

= MORNING UNION SOLD.

The Morning Union wSs sold this morning by Receiver John c. Cham berlain to a company represented in the deal by Attorney Frederic Bart lett. Judge Beers, who represented another party, some of whom are stockholders in the Standard asso- citation, figured in the deal. The sale price was $16,0D0.
 Papers were served this morning on City Clerk Mullins in a suit for $7,000 against the city, brought by William M. Bronson of Fairfield, a farmer, who was injured in a. col lision with a trolley pole in this city almost a year ago. Sheriff Wallace Bulkley served the papers, which are returnable before the next term of the superior court. Bronson alleges that on the evening of April 23, 1896, while @riving to his home, his wagon ran into a trolley pole which was projecting into the roadway in Fairfield avenue extension, about 250 feet beyond Ash Creek. The jar caused the wagon to upset, and. he was thrown out, while the horse ran away. He was so seriously injured that he could not proceed.

Many weeks of unavailing com plaint by the Derby commuters have resulted in the following:
 SOMEWHERE ON THE DERBY
 LINE''
 we, commuters on the Derby line of the Connecticut Co. having com plained many times to employees of the Connecticut Co. without result, of the lack of heat on the early morning cars of the Derby line, and realizing that further protest 1n that manner would be a useless proceeding, desire to make a PUBLIC complaint.
 Accordingly, we call attention to the following facts: The cars on the Derby line early in the morning are frigid We have discovered that the heaters in many cases are out of or der. This is particularly true of the cars due in Bridgeport at 6:SO o'clock and 7:3O o'clock a. m. There have been few mornings this. winter when the cars were sufficiently warm to permit opening the ventilators. As there are usually about 40 passengers on each car this results in very unhealthful condition.
 
 MT. Chapman, general manager of the Connecticut Co.,, has asked the indul- gence of the public. We would be glad to have MT. Chapman indulge in a cold ride with us one of these morn ings, when the thermometer is below zero."

THE DEBT TO
 FOREFATHE

It is rather hard to get up much enthusiasm about our forefathers. 'washingtons birthday celebrations are often we'll attended, and the pa triotic remarks well received, if the dinner and other entertainment has been good. But it is not known that any audience ever breaks into spon- taneous applause at hearing the name of George Washington or any other patriot of his time.
 Yet our daily life is no doubt very different from what it would have been had Washington and his as- sociates failed in their revolutionary attempt To be sure Canada has prospered and attained substantial freedom as a/ colony. Still its ad- vance is probably largely due to the proximity of the United States. /They have caught the flare back 6f our prosperity and freedom. They owe their advance likewise to the Ameri- can spirit, which is much the same regardless of boundaries.
 Had we remained a colony that American spirit could hardly have de- veloped. We would have looked to the leaQerSn1p or the OlO WOrlO, ana accepted it's traditions with loyal sub- mission. Political initiative would have been checked. When a com munity's civic ambition is dulled, ii must also affect it's industrial enter prise and the spirit of achievement.
 The success of the American Revo- lution set free vast latent energy. The men who had triumphed over the first army of the world went home con- fident of ability to triumph over other adverse forces. It gave them the dar- ing to explore the forest, subdue the wilderness, establish new communi- ties, and build social and industrial institutions.
 Had we remained subject colony it is quite possible that our great West today might still have been in the frontier condition it was fifty years ago. So George Washington and the rest of them are not mere names and historical fact, but an influence that has vitally affected our living condi- tions.
