WOMAN IN DAzED CONDITION ASKS . POLICE FOR AID Claims to Have Lost Purse and Grip While on Train
 From New York.
 REPORTS ARE VAGUE Inquiries Are Being Made By Police and Mystery
 Will Be Solved Soon.
REPORTS ARE VAGUE

In dazed condition, minus her hat and her clothing in dishevelled state, Mrs. Catherine Carpenter, of 151 Bank street, Waterbury, appeal ed to the driver of a passing automo- bile in Fairfield avenue about three o'clock Sunday morning to drive her to police headquarters. There she declared that she had been drugged and robbed while on the train from New York to her home city. She had no idea of where she was or how she came to be in Bridgeport
 According to a rather disconnect- ed statement made by Mrs. Carpen- tier, she took the six o'clock train from the Grand Central station for Waterbury. On the train she met a man who was very pleasant to her. He offered her some candy which she accepted. After she ate some of the candy she lost consciousness and re- members nothing more of what hap pened.
 Mrs. Carpenter, told Captain E. o. Cronan, at police headquarters that she left her hat, pocketbook and grip on board the train. She also furnish ed the authorities with a clear de- scription of the stranger from whom she accepted the candy.
 Inquiries made by the police at the railroad offices failed to reveal the fact that a grip, hat and pocket book had been found or even noticed.
 Officials here are inclined to doubt the woman's weird story.

Total For Loan Near
 il Million

Not less than $11 100000 is the total given out as the un- official figure by the Liberty Loan committee this morning. An official total could not be given, as the banks are swamped with the work of try ing to get the subscriptions in some sort of order, but the com mittee have an assured list which will bring the amount to $11, 100000:
 The honor flag which is given to any town and city eX- ceeding its quota will be raised at headquarters today.
 Yesterday afternoon and evening many churches held special meetings and speakers of all nationalities were present addressing the foreign-born in their native tongues, exploit ing the Liberty Loan.

APPEALS FROM RULING OF THE
 COMMISSION

Appeal from an order of the Public Utilities Commission of the state de- nying his petition that it require the Southern New England Telephone Co. to furnish hlm with telephone service has been filed in the superior court by Edward B. Gallagher of Norwalk and is returnable to the November term of court.
 Gallagher is an application asked for telephone service in Norwalk, and objected\ to the rate. He applied to the commission for an order, May g., and a hearing was held Sept. 10 last. After the hearing the commission de- clined to issue the order requested.
 1t is the contention of Gallagher that the rate asked is excessive, and he alleges the commission took no testimony to warrant its decision that the rate is reasonable, and erred in making it's finding and refusing the request for service.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-10-21

that this Is the most important thing to impress upon the people. There Is little danger of volunteers to contract the disease if the proper care and precaution Is taken while in the sick room.
 Homes where the entire family are victims to the sickness are literally left to die. The nurses state that in such cases even the closest relatives and friends refuse to do anything in helping the sick. One case brought to the attention of the nurses, Is ~here a mother and two children are suffering from the influenza and a sister of the mother, living next door, would not even enter to feed the chill dren.
 These acts and situations only tend to lessen the number of volunteer workers and of increasing the spread ing fear, two things that must be abolished before the epidemic can be c!-?cked.
 At the conference held on Saturday between Dr. Brown, School Medical Inspector, Dr. L. S. Wilkes, and Su- perintendent Slawson. data was sub mitted to show that 65 teachers were absent from school in addition to a large number of scholars This re- port is now being thoroughly inves- tigated to learn what percentage of the absentees are actually suffering from Influenza. Dr. Brown said that while the situation demanded atten- ton 1t was not as serious as at first supposed and that it was his belief that a number of the children and teachers were not away because they were i'll with influenza but because they weared contracting disease
 While people should not be crlti- i cised for exercising the utmost pre- caution in the present crisis said Dr. Brown, we are unable to figure just how hard the schools are actually hit by the influenza until we check up ali absentees.''
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-10-21

In the past 4s hours, 337 new cases were reported to the health authori- ties, 187 of them being recorded be- tween g o'clock yesterday morning and o'clock this morning. The official total of the number of cases now stands at 2.941. Ten additional deaths occurred over the weekend and the fatalities now stand at 76.
 The nursing situation at the Isola- ton hospital is greatly improved, and under the supervision of Mrs. Mar garet K. Cooper of New York, infiu- enza patients are now being handled in a systematic manner. Dr. Brown has made arrangements to havo a telephone operator on duty at the hos pital to answer calls regarding the condition of the Ill.,
 The need for additional nurses is still imperative, and Bridgeport women who have any training along these lines are urged to volunteer their services at once. In addition to the need of nurses, orderlies, and de- mestics are needed at the hospital.
 Dr. Brown announced today that the State Department of Health has decided to give to Bridgeport a DOT t&on of the nurses that are being made available for distribution in fighting the inflenza through the efforts of the Red Cross and said that he expected four to arrive in this city during the week.
 One of the most surprising things that have come to the eyes of the wis iting nurses during the epidemic Is the fact that wherever a case of in- fiuenza Is cited friends relatives and neighbors abandon the home of the sufferers and absolutely refuse to offer any help for fear of catching the d. sease. This act, although an act o1 precaution, Is both inhuman ant wicked.
 Mrs. W. Bramann. chairman of the nurses Red Cross committee, stated
