there has been reported SO cases of
influenza and "a cases of pneumonia
in Ohio county, There are several
physicians in the county who are
not reporting their cases and there
are quite number of cases that have
not called doctor.
If this is true we can closely esti-
mate that there, has been $50 cases
of influenza in thercQunty since the
first of last December, and yet we
do not consider the disease has so far
reached epidemic proportions.
1t is wise, however, to be on the
safe side and take all precautions
suggested by the board of health and
this means avoid another epidemic.

who said he did not want to commit
any overt act of war, but that he was
following a definite course to avert
war;" said Mr. Roosevelt.
1.-TWO months after war was declar-
ed l saw that the navy was still un-
prepared and l spent $40, 100000 for
guns before Congress gave me or any

been impeached If he had made
wrong guesses," and that he had
committed enough illegal acts to put
him in Jail for 900 years"

SEEK
 DOLLAR AN HOUR
Go Out This Morning To Enforce Their
 Demands.

The Union painters of this city struck this morning to enforce thei1 demands for a dollar an hour and an improvement in their working condi- tions.
 About three hundred of the men met at Carpenters hall on Elm street this morning and the committee re- ported that the boss painters had re- fused to comply with the demands.
 It is understood that the question of wages could be adjusted but that the bosses insisted that members ot the union should agree not to take any contracts for painting while they are members of the journeymen' $ union.
 There are a number of members ot the union who have been paying dues for 10 and 20 years and are entitled to benefits from the mortuary fund and the members can not see theiI way to expel these men although they are taking contracts on their own l hook.
 It is also claimed that the bosses refuse to comply with the demands i of the men that they be provided with transportation to and from the
 buildings on which they are working The men will hold meetings every day until the strike is settled.

LASHAR RESIGNS
 FROM COMMITTEE
Memorial Building Project May Be Aban-
 doned.

The Executive committee of the Bridgeport Liberty Memorial Build ing campaign meets this afternoon for the purpose of definitely deciding whether or not the plan of erecting a memorial building in the city as a tribute to the Bridgeport boys who fought in the past war shall be con- tinued
 When the scheme was first broach- ed in the city it met with enthusiasm in all quarters but since that time public opinion has in many cases veered and those in-touch with the situation and interested in the cam paign have been quick to note this feeling with the result that some doubts are now being expressed as to the advisabi1ity of continuing the plan.
 As originally planned the building is to cost in the neighborhOod of $780, 900, and drive for funds to start Ma1 30 and continue to June IF. A large and small auditorium and other rooms for various war organfza tion. were included in the plan of the building.
 It was stated this morning at the office of Walter B. Lashar that MI Iashar had rendered his resignation from the executive committee. Pres of otl@r duties is given as the reason and although it is known that F. T Hamilton, chairman, has asked MT Lashar to reconsider his resignation 1 it is not known whether this has bee1 l done or not.
