INFLUENZA AND FAMINE IN INDIA
Death Rate Seven Times As Great As That of Last
 Spring.

New York, Jan. 21-Famine and influenza, with a death rate seven times as great as that which prevail ed during she plague last Spring, are sweeping certain sections of India, according 10 advices received by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian church and made public here today.
 Failure of the grain crop after un- der broken droughts according to re- ports from missionaries have sent the price of cereals to nearly double that which obtained during the famine of 1900, when many thousands died of starvation.
 Cloth is so expensive. Making of clothing for the poor has been almost impossible and multitudes are now suffering not only from hunger but from cold" the missionaries wrote. Conditions are especially bad at Ko- doli, Miraj, Ratnigiri and Sangli In the latter city there were more than 1000 cases of influenza with a daily death rate of 20. Poor people are turning their Buffalo cows out to die for lack of fodder, and old persons and young children are now following the cows"

ENGLAND GOES DANCING CRAZY

London, Jan. (-Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The peo- pie of this country, who have for four years been either engaged on strenu- ous war work or worrying about the cost of living and whether their men folks would come back to them, have developed what amounts to a "danc- ing craze"
 Almost everywhere 1t is the same In London. ta the northern towns, the midlands, in the south and west, dances have been arranged for the boys" who come home, for the cele- bration of peace, the New Year and other excuses available. Most of the large factories which have held reg ular weekly dances are now taking assembly halls or other public build ings, Teachers of dancing are inun- dated with applications for instruc- tion in the latest dances from Amer | lea and elsewhere, and many of the halls throughout the country are en- gagged for weeks in advance.
 In London pre-war dances are ap- parently banned in favor of the newer American and Canadian dances.

 This case is being heard before Judge John R. Booth.
 Another case in the court Of com mon pleas of considerable Interest IS styled State of Connecticut against John H. Romme, Administrator for the estate of Mary F. Webb, formerly of Stamford. Mary r.

BOY PREFERS TO ] 60 WITH FATHER;
 MOTHER WEEPS
Scene in Superior Court When Former Mrs. Ham
 bach Asks Custody.
COUPLE DIVORCED FOR
 OVER THREE YEARS
Mrs. Hambach Had Been Remarked to John Wal
 lin Who Died.

The case of Josephine Hambach lagainst her divorced husband, Emil lHambach of East Windsor, came up this morning before Judge Gardiner Greene in the Superior Court The case arises as the result of a divorce granted by the Superior Court of Fairfield county in January, 1916, The former wife of Emil Hambach stated
 on the stand that through a misun- derstanding on her part at the time the decree was granted she waived her claims for the custody of her IA Iyear-old son, although the decree did provide for her to visit the boy on certain occasions The mother claims that during her several attempts to see her son unpleasant and embar- rassing circumstances were brought about by her former husband with whom the boy has been living. The mother is now suing for the custody of the body,
 ! Witnesses introduced on behalf of ft4e father testified that the boy is well cared for at the home of his ia ther; that he attends school regularly
 besides being given a musical educa- ton. It develops. however, that Emil Harnbach is saloon keeper of East
 Windsor and the saloon occupies a part of the building in which the boy makes his home, thus causing an ob- tectionable atmosphere to the home
 I.II. evidence was also brought out
 showing that on account of pro-Ger-
 man activities on the part of Emil
 Hambach the populace of East Wind
 sor mobbed the saloon one night last
 May and painted all Hambach's build ing yellow
 : During the recess of the court the mother endeavored to persuade her son to come with her but the boy ap-
 peared to favor his father and re-
 fused to be reconcled +o his mothers
 desires. The scene was a pathetic
 one and resulted in the mother break 1 ing down and weeping when she found
 chat her appeals were of no avail. | Since her divorce from Emil Ham, bach the woman in the case married John Wallin of Bridgeport. Her sec
 ond husband died last November and
 she is now living at So4 Lafayette
 street, this city. Mrs wallin is em-
 ployed as timekeeper at the Bullard
 Machine Tool company, Broad street 1 The case is not as yet ready for $
 decision Further evidence will bt
 heard in the matter.

SECRET SOCIETY
 METHODS GRIEvE
Alderman Cornell Protests Against Dark Lantern
 Ways of Republicans.

Seldom though 1t Is, that Demo- cratic members of the board of alder men, rise up in arms and demand a little change from the high handed methods of the administration in con- ducting the meetings of the common council, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson could not refrain from waxing sarcas- tic last night when Alderman John A. Cornell staunchly defended a reso- lution introduced by Democratic AL derman William H. Hogan, asking that all business to be acted upon by the board of aldermen be sent to the member at least two days in advance so they could know something about what was coming up.
 When Mayor Wilson, possibly not fully understanding the importance of the measure, asked if an immedi- ate consideration was wanted, Alder man Cornell rose under the privilege of remarks, and said that Democratic members were not represented on the important conmfttes and could not vote intelligently on some. of the mat ters that were brought before the council on a moments notice.
 At this time the mayor had his lit- tie spree in sarcasm and asked Al. derman Cornell if his study of parlia. mentary law had not taught him that such a resolution would have to be referred to the committee on rules. After Alderman Cornell had said that not only should the business of a meeting be given to the aldermen ir advance but that they also should be
 given a copy of the report of the committee on finance, the resolution was referred to the committee or rules.
 Democratic Aldermen John A. Cor. nell, William II. Hogan, Edward 4.
 Drew, John J. Ford and Charles " 1 Freeman also took the lead in having a resolution passed whereby they
 were appointed as a committee to con | fer with manufacturers and employer: l of labor in Bridgeport and see wha could be done in securing situations | for returning soldiers. The resolu
 tion was unanimously adopted.

SEEMS EVERYONE
 HEARD ABOUT IT
All want to try new drug that dries up corns so they
 lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man, which Is said to loosen any corn so it Asts out with the fingers.
 A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness Is relieved and soon the corn is so shriveIed that 1t lifts out without pain. It Is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoin- ing tissue.
 This discovery will prevent thou sands of deaths annually from lock- jaw and infection heretofore result ing from the suicidal habit of cut ting corns-Adv.

SPRONE SCORES
 ADMINISTRATION
Objects to Federal Tax Col lector Getting States
 Revenue.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. Ex-Governor William c. Sproul, who assumed of flee today. said in his inaugural ad- dress that the Federal tax collector is encroaching so deeply into the fields hitherto reserved for states rev. enues that the question of funds for state purposes Is becoming serious. Pennsylvania, he said, is paying about one-sixth of the entire cost of the administration of the United States government. Last year, he added, the state contributed in federal taxes almost six hundred millions of dol lars, and this year the federal levy upon Pennsylvania will be approxi- mately one billion dollarsS if the rev. enue bill now before congress be- comes a law. This sum, he said Is almost equal to the aggregate amount raised by the commonwealth for state purposes in all the 12S years since the state was organized.
 Pennsylvania does not complain under the burdens which she is bear ing," the governor said. "She is proud to have the disposition and the substance to render such notable ser vice to the republic and to the world. But with our share so large in our national undertakings, we may be par doned a care that our funds con- tributed without stint to the federal purse should not be wasted in in competent administration nor scatter ed over the world in chimerical en- terprises without practical purposes.
 The governor who has many f. nanciaI interests In eastern and other states. speaking on labor and busi- ness said:
 ''The Federal government should | release Its strangle-hold upon private enterprises and withdraw it's persis- l tent and repressing regulation of ev- cry commercial activity"

NEW QUARTERS FOR SMITH,
 MURRAY co.
Department Store Leases and Expands Property on
 Fairfield Ave.

First of the stores in the business center to expand with the ending of war is the Smith-Murray company. This growing concern is right in the midst of alterations and expansion which will give 1t fine increase in space available for business and make it's Fairfield avenue entrance both at tractive and convenient,
 Some months ago, the company leased the store adjoining it's present sa all Fairfield avenue entrance, which till then had been occupied by Kelly, the cigar man, and the Postal Tele- graph company. This lease included the entire buildings in which the stores had been situated. Those stores have now disappeared, in fact the buildings have almost disap- peared.
 Instead to replace them will be a handsome new three-story building, with daylight front and fine plate glass windows upon the street level, with a broad doorway opening into a store that is spacious and comfort able. This new section of the store will be nearly 60 feet in width and will run directly back and join the present quarters of the company. Upon the second floor, a similar plan will be followed and the present quarters will be fully trebled in size From the Main street front of the store a new section will be built con- meeting this with the new Fairfield avenue section. This structure will be practically freproof in construc- I ho of he store, be equipped with a sprinkler system as guard against fire, Permission for the carrying on o1 l this part of the work was granted by the board of aldermen at las nights session and it is to go ahead at top speed.
 During the past five years. the bus 1 mess of the Smith-Murray Co. h3: | grown rapidly. That business out grew it's accommodations at least two years ago. But it was neither patri otic nor possible to expand any busi
 ness building so alteration 2nd re building and the getting of largel quarters was deferred till peace wa
 practically assured.
 Hustling is now driving the worl ahead. Within about !hree month
 the work is expected To be finished | Of course, in the meantime the stor,
 is much upset and part of it ha
 even been taken away by the build
 CTS But the final result will be o
 such benefit, that no patron of tn
 Smith-Murray store ais going to regre
 the crowding and inconvenience o the present.
 In the new and enlarged store,
 is planned to install some new depart
 ments as well as give present depart
 ments the added room they need
 What those new departments will of

WILL HUNS GET
 CABLES AGAIN?

Paris, Jan. 2t-Are the German transatlantic cables to be given back to Germany? The Matin asks this question in today's issue. It points out that the two cables were cut four hours after Great Britain's dcclara- tion of war by British cruiser close to Fayal, in the Azores. These ca bles became prizes of war, Great Bri- tain taking one and France the other. Great Britain used hers in conjunc- tion with her own cable lines to Can ada, while France made no use of the line which she was allotted.
