He was obliged to give up his work. and go to Saranac Lake, Tn hope that he might speedily recover his strength. His stay there was not as beneficial as his parents and friends had hoped it would be, and he returned to Putnam, where he was un- til the time of his death.

FATHER LACROK
 DIED ON SUNDAY
Young Priest, Son of Mir. and Mrs. Narcisse LaCroix, Had Been III Many
 Months
Was Raised to the Priesthood in 1917. and Said First Mass at Putnam,
 on Christmas of That Year

Rev Joseph Adelard LaCroix, the sen of Mr and Mrs Narcisse La Groix, died early Sunday morning at she home of his parents on Maynard street. following an illness of many sonths' duration Beloved by all and noted among his associates for hr priestly zeal and devotion to the sieh ideals of his calling. the news of his death comes as a shock to the en- Ere community A faithful worker, R devout priest, Father LaCroix was veuerated and respected by everyone who knew him. Every soul in the two parishes where he was best known in Baltic where he was cur ate for few months. and here at St. hary's, where he grew to manhood nsourns the loss of this young man who was a living example of the Chris tian life. Father LaCroix was called upon and chosen to lead life of sac sfee and devotion, preaching Gods word, and ministering unto His peo- pse-and he was faithful to his trust
 Father LaCroix was born in Sep tember, twenty nine years ago. As a boy he grew up here in Putnam, re- ship of large circle of companions His preliminary education was receiv- cd in St. Mary's paroehial school, and following graduation from here. he entered Putnam High school He was an earnest and conscientious stu dent. He graduated with the class of 1910. He had already made up his nsind to consecrate his life to the church, and with this laudable end in view he entered St Thomas Semin- -ary in Hartford. Upon completing bis courses of study at that school, he went to Montreal, Canada, and at the Grand Seminary he received his phil osophical and theological training.
 Father LaCroix was raised to the priesthood in Hartford on the 23rd day of July, 1917, and upon Christ mas morning he offered his first sac rifice of the mass This was happy day for his parents and friends, who Shed the newly decorated interior of St. Mary's church iii order to witness thls solemn oreasion.

PATIENT ESCAPES
 FROM HOSPITAL
Scantily Clad, Mrs. Anna Daw- son Leaves Day kimball and Ewades Police for
 Entire Day
Patient Had Been Removed Day Pre- vious From Jail Where She Was Being Held to Answer Rigamy Charge.

Clad only in her night clothes and a bath robe, and wearing pair of slippers on her feet. Mrs. Anna Daw son, who was recently bound over to the September term of the Windham county superior eoart on complaint charging her with bigamy, escaped from the Day Kimball hospital early Monday morning, and for an entire day evaded the police and jail au- thorities, who kept up a persistent search for her. Monday night she was found in the fields near the l. W. rrowbridge farm, Pomfret, and now she is again back at the Brooklyn jail apparently none the worse for her lit tie excursion.
 The woman was taken from the jail to the hospital on Sunday on the advice of physicians who declared the woman in need of an operation. Ac- cording to hospital authorities she did not wish this operation perform ed, and her attempted escape is be- i heved to have been in an effort to ! prevent it. It was early Monday morning when it was discovered that 1 the woman had left the hospital. About o'clock the Putnam police were notified, and at once began the search, in company with the jail off l cials. A search around the hospital grounds convinced the police that i Mrs. Dawson had left the vicinity of the institution.
 Just how Mrs. Dawson left the ! building is not known. It was during the time that the night nurse was en- gagged in other parts of the building that she left, and it is not improbable that she made her escape through a l window
 Three weeks ago Mrs. Dawson was arraigned before Justice Bryden in Pomfret on the bigamy charge. Pre- vious to this time she had been em- ployed in the Putnam Steam Laun- dry.
 George Dawson of Jewett City and John Parker of Pomfret appeared at the hearing, and both claimed that the defendant had married them Probable cause was found and the woman was bound over to the super for court under bonds of $500. Mrs Dawson was brought to the home of Mrs. W. J. Bartlett and kept over night.
 While with Mrs. Bartlett Mrs. Daw- son is said to have declared she would kill herself rather than face the charges against her. For this reason the police were inclined to believe that she had made way with herself upon getting out of the hospital, and a search of the Quinebaug river be- low the hospital was made.

 Years Ago
LONG DESIRED BY u. s.

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 21.-Sec retary Daniels, of the Navy depart ment, arrived here this morning tc make an official inspection of the great Pearl HarbOr navy yard and dry dock here. His ship was con voyed by a part of the new Pacific fleet.
 For seventy-five years the United States government officially has rec ognized the strategic position ol Pearl Harbor as a great naval base.
 President Tyler in 1842 gave for mai notice to all European govern ments that United States never would consent to their occupying Hawai- or establishing on any of the islands a naval or military base through purchase or otherwise.
 This policy was reiterated latei by Daniel Webster when he was Sec retary of State, by James c. Blaine and by President Mckinley.
 In 1886 the United States through a treaty with King Kalakaua, ther ruler of the islands, gained the right to establish what has become the Pearl Harbor base.
 Twelve years later the United States annexed the islands. Two years after the annexation surveys were begun for the great dry docE just now completed.
