 HID VALUABLE STOCK
Bronstein and Menus, Own CTS of BOotery Shop Moved
 95 Cases, is the Report.

Federal Investigating agents have uncovered 95 cases of stock valued at thousands of dollars in a New York storehouse, alleged to have been ship ped to the storehouse prior to the filing of a petition of voluntary bank ruptcy by Messrs. Harry Bronstein and Edward l.. Menus, owners of the Bootery shop. The Bootery Shop is a Main street shoe store which has been in business but a comparatively short time. In the petition of bankruptcy, the assets were given as $10,000 and the liabilities as S40.000. The store house receipts are now in the hands of Trustee Edward Ogren who was appointed by Referee E. l.. Yeomans last Friday.
 Proposals were made some time ago to Lawyer Emil J. Danberg who is representing a number of the credi- tors for settlement at 25 cents on the dollar. This figure was later boost cd to 50 cents and more recently to 75 cents. No new proposals have been made since the uncovering of the stock.

SIMS RETURNS HOME; SILENT NOW BUT
 MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY LATER
Police On Hand to Guard Him, But There is No Demonstration.

New York, June 22.-Rear Admiral Sims returned home today to explain to Secretary Denby remarks attributed to him in his recent London speech on Irish Americans.
 Refusing to be taken ashore by a cutter, he came up the bay aboard the liner Olympic to meet friends or foes who might be awaiting him near the pier.
 Everything was peaceful when he landed. A thousand bluecoats were massed on the dock to preserve order. Indeed, they were so numerous that with warf workers and passengers, 1t would have been difficult for many other persons to have found footr old on the pier.
 Police lines were drawn several blocks north and south of the pier entrance. Not even when Woodrow Wilson returned from the peace con- ference were more thorough prepar- ations made.
 The admiral was the first person to step ashore. He entered the ele- vator a few feet from the end of the ganrpIank and descended to the main floor of the pier, where he stepped into an automobile with Rear Admiral Huse, commandant of the third

BLIND SINCE BIRTH, RARE SURGICAL
 OPERA 77ON RESTORES GIRLS .SLGHT
13 Year Old Mary Cullum of Franklin Street Saved From Life of Darkness By John Hopkins Surgeon.

Blind since birth, 14-year-old Mary Cullum, daughter of John Cullum ot 92 Franklin street, has been given sight through an operation which is considered a miracle of modern surg cry. The operation was performed at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, Md, by Dr. Walter E. Dandy, who, although not yet 40 years of age, is hailed by his confreres as the master oculist of the age.
 Ever since she was born little Mary has been denied the pleasures that other little children enjoy. Her right eye was completely blind and imper- feet vision in the left eye, which also was virtually blind, completed trag- edy of childhood which her relatives believed to be beyond the power of man to remedy. Thanks to the skill and patience of pr. Dandy, Mary can now play with other little girls and indulge in games in which she never could participate previously.
 About three years ago, Mary's par ents consulted specialists with the purpose of giving sight to the child, but the best minds gave them little hope. She was placed under the care of Dr. Frank l.. Waite and Dr. Robert L. Waite of Pratt street, Hart ford, who bent ever.r ener gy to putting life into the paralyzed optical nerves which kept the little girl in

TAXES FALL BEHIND
Indications Are That Income Corpor- ation List This Year Will Be Mill lion Less Than Year Ago.

Hartford, June 22.-Incomplete re. turns received at the state tax de partment for the net income corpor- ation tax list which is to be sub- mitted to the state treasurer for col lection on August !, indicate that the states income from that source will be one million dollars less than last year while the total net income corporation tax amounted to $2,- the total tax which the state re- ceives from corporations, which in 1920 was $5,730, ,756.05. With some reductions expected in some of the other items, notably the steam roads, the total corporation tax is likely to be at least 25 per cent less than last year, or about four hundred thou sand dollars.
 The state tax department has completed totals on the tax from savings banks and departments and mutual fire and life insurance com panies. The tax from savings banks, saving departments in trust com panies and national banks shows an increase of $SS, S,669.71 over last year when it was $S5S,133.67, but from the mutual insurance companies the tax will be less by $2,770.41.
 A considera ble decrease is expect rived from steam roads, which in 1920 contributed $1,516, ,5S4.99 to the states coffers.

Saturday 452 persons took the

of typhoid fever at the local offices

DR.. Smith stated that he has made
second trips to Elm City, Stantons-

that those vaccinated on these sec

former visits. 1t is probable that DR..
Smith will have an assistant later
to help him with the work of vaccin-
ating.
