Lyman. super intendent at the Gaylord Sani iorium in Wa1lingford, was the principal speaker and told his audience many of his experiences during the past twenty years in his work among tu- berculosiS sufferers.

In Connecticut alone, there are at present over a. thousand beds for tuberculosis pa tients.

Tory Bloc
 Is Hostile ToPrerr1iier
Seek To Break Irish Par 1eys and Prevent Lloyd George e's Trip to America.

London, Oct 2s.-The greatest campaign of hostility directed against Premier Lioyd-GAeorge since he took the post of prime minister in De- cember, 1916, is under way today, en- gineered by a Tory bloc in the House of Commons.
 The Unfonist campaign against the premier is said to have the following for it's chief objects:
 l. Breaking down of the Irish peace conference and the prectpita- ton of a general election win Ireand as the main issue.
 2. Preventing the government from giving independence to Egypt.
 3. Preventing the premier from attending the Washington conference in person.
 The resolution proposed by Forth Unionist members of Commons, cen surfing the premier for the course he has adopted Noward Irish peace, will be up for a vote on Monday. If 1t Is rejected the premier will accept the result as a vote of confidence in his government and the vote will be re- garded as a mandate of public ap- proval.
 If the resolution should be adopted it would mean lack of confidence in the premier. The political adher- ents of the premier believe that the resolution will be completely showed under, getting only a negligible num- Der of votes.

 As Custodian of Child.

Paul S. Chapman, local attorney with offices in the First National Bank building at the corner of Main and State street, and who lives at PIT Beechwood avenue. appeared before Attorney Harry c. ScoheId, Stamford, acting as a committee appointed by the Superior court, and endeavored this morning to have his former wife Kate Barbour Chapman, removed as the custodian of their handsome 10 year old son. By expert testimony he is trying to prove that his former wife, who lives in Wilton, is demented.
 The hearing was held in chambers this morning, the coroner'S court room beng used for the purpose. Under the present decree, which he wants modified, the wife has the custody of the boy with the exception of two brought to his father.

He described the boy as healthy, though mother last spring, and with an un- changed condition after two months with the father. He had examined Mrs. Chapman several times, and found her mind sane and found her not demented. He did recommend, however. that when the boy reaches the age of 12, it would be beneficial for him to have the companionship of other boys in some recognized boarding school.
