Miss Anna Brown, II, daughter of
William Brown Of South Fifth avenue,
Taftyille attempted suicide about 5.45
o'clock Monday afternoon by drinking
carbolic acid at her home, but the pros
poets are that she will recover.
A love affair with sailor from the
submarine base 1T is believed, was the
cause of her act, as she drank the acid
just moment Or two before the chief
master at arms from the base arrived
at the Brown house to arrest the sailor.
James A. Barrett 20, of Rumford. Mis-
souri,, as destrer. The sailor claimed
that he, too, had taken some Of the acid
but it was reported by the authorities
that there was nothing to show that any
of it had passed his lips.
Chief Master at-Arms Hawk from the
submarine base came to the city Monday
afternoon, looking for the man and the
local police had Instructions to arrest
him if he could be found Chief Hawk
went himself to the Brown house at
Taftville and saw the girl and the sail

window. Just as he did so the girl drop

LIMOUSINE OVER BANK Ar
BASE, TWO WOMEN HURT

Two women, whose names could not be
learned were painfully injured on Mon
day evening when the automobile In
which they were riding went over
bank on a sharp turn in the Military
Highway at the Submarine Base. In the
car we're two men who were not badly
hurt, except for minor cuts and nruis-
es
The car, Cadillac limousine, bearing
an illinois marker. was driven ty one Of
the men Who was apparently unfamiliar
with the sharp turn in the road and in
stead Of taking the turn as he was pro-
ckeding toward New London continued
straight ahead and before he could stop
his machine it had gone over the bank.
The machine turned over several times
before it had come to stop and the
women were pinned IN the machine The
door Of the car had to be chopped away
before they could be liberated. They
we're badly cut and bruised about the
face and arms. They were taken 10
the Submarine Base hospital whel
their injuries were dressed.
An inquiry at the Submarine Base Of
fee Monday evening brought negligible
answer that two women had been brought
there and patched up and sent a.ong.
The one who answered the phone was
very curt and disclaimed all knowledge
of the accident other than that the two
women had been treated at th5 base
hospital and that he knew Of NJ one
that could give any information regard
ing the matter. He claimed they ia net
know the names Of the people who were
injured.

POLICEMAN HAS BLOOD CLor
PRESSING ON BRAIN

Braton w. Hill, one OF the New LON
don policemen, is in a hospital in Bos-
ton for an operation to remove a clot
Of blood from his brain, witch is the re-
suit of bloW struck about a year ago
by some sailors he was arreSting.
The wound that is responsible for the
officers illness was received in a Pitch
ed battle with three drunken sailors at
the Lyceum theatre on the night Of Aug.
8, 1920. While attempting to remove one
of the men from the theatre, after the
man had been conducting himself bois-
terously, Officer Hill was suddenly at
tackled by two other sailors, and in the
melee he was struck on the temple and
face by whiskey bottle. or some other
heavy blunt instrument. Despite the fact
that his head was split open by the blow,
and although he was almost rendered
unconscious the officer put UP stiff bat
tie, and two of the sailors were badly
battered by him. He was able to hold
these two, Charles Daniels and Thomas
Comerford, until the arrival Of assist
ance.
The wound on his temple gradually
healed, and Officer Hill was apparently
none the worse as a result of it, until a
few months ago, when he began to e.
perience severe pains in his head and
became run down in health and an X-ray
photograph showed the existence of the
clot on the brain. He has been grant
ed an indenite furlough by the police au-
thoritieS.

IMPORTING cows TO MEET
66ENECTiCUT MILK SHORTAGE

There is a shortage in the milk supply
Of the state, and farmers are importing
dairy cattle into Connecticut in greater
numbers than heretofore to enable them
to meet the demand for milk Last week
ffve railroad car loads of cows were i'm
ported into the state from Vermont.
These carloads represented about 100 an
mals. Cattle Commissioner James III.
Whitteesey admitted three carloads
without subjecting the animals to the
tuberculin test. Owing to the fact tdat
the animals in the other two cars were
in contact with infected herds in Yer
mont, he decided to apply the tugerculin
test to them. The result of the tests
will not be known for a few days. The
healthy condition of the cows which were
not tested was guaranteed by a certif-
cate. from the state authorities Of Yer
mont.
The shortage of milk is due to two
causes. One is the ecessive heat and
the annoyance caused cows by fies, and
the other is the Increase in the consunp-
ton Of milk. There is a great deal more
milk drank in the warm than in TIE cola
| season: Commissioner whittlesey is
hopeful that the inportation 81 dairy
cows will relieve the shortage IN the
| milk supply in this state.
