Wisk admitted being the driN- CT of the car which, he said his brother Ienatius had taken to the garage at l43 Grove street. The po- lceman and City Mechanican Alex ander Beatty went to the garage. They found the markers removed, the hood lifted and wrench on the side stopper. Joseph identified the car as the one that figured in the accident

 Lawrence Durbas. a ? year old boy living at 10 Hunter road was then brought to the witness stand.

 Lawrence said that he had beer working on d sand team all day haul ing sand to the side of the concrete mixer. Just before the accident oc cured he had stepped down from th' team and bad seen the auto start up Then as the auto approached the scene of the accident, he saw three l1ttl' boys dart out from behind tool bo. on the side of the road

Good Judge of Distance

 Is Discharged.
 Lawyer McDonough characterized q the affair as an unfortunate occur renee. He said that he could not see any negligence on the part of Wisk He said that Wisk stopped the car ir as short a distance from the place where the boy was hit as it was humanly possible to do.
 Judge Aling said that he could find no cause on the accused and in re- viewing the case could sec no reason why Wisk should be held on a charge of manslaughter. He therefore dis charged him.

HOSPITAL REPORT
 IS MADE PUBLIC
During Past Six Months There
 Have Been Fewer Calls

That health conditions in New Britain are better than they have been is evidenced hy the report pre- sented to the board Of directors at the New Britain general hospital yester- day The report showed a lessening demand for hospital service, due, it is explained, to improved conditions.
 report for six months operation of the hospital was submitted by pr. Reeks, chairman of the executive committee and acting manager of the hospital showing results as follows:
 Oct. 1921 oct 1920
 Mar, 1922 Mar. 1921 Total all eX-
 penditures, s62,24o.97 ss4,7s6.s1 Receipts from
 patients .. 5S,S5n.14 45,0SSo0 Receipts from
 Endowments 21,212.29 27,s95.7s Total Rcpts,, s6o,o6243 s72,4S3.ss Deficit from
 Operations 2,ls0.54 12,2S2.S3 Mo- of Days

 Patients 73 90 Cost per Pa
 tient per day s477 s5.2o
 City More Healthy During the last six months it will be noted that there has been de creased demand for hospital services due to greater healthfulness in the city. This has resulted in smaller hospital receipts and the general busi. ress depression has also to some eX- tent affected receipts from endow- ments. Notwithstanding these ad- verse conditions, it will be noted that quite a marked saving in the admin istration of the hospital has been af- fected resulting in deficit of only s2,000, for six months operation as against a $12,o0o deficit during cor responding period year ago. 4 It will also be observed that the average cost for the care of patients for the last six months was s4.77 pel day. This is against charges to pa tents in the wards at s1.75 per day in private wards about s2.75 per day i It will therefore be seen that the charges to such patients fall far shor' of sufficient to cover operating costs It is the earnest hope of the board that it may not be necessary to ad' vance these rates to patients, but il will readily be seen that they car only be maintained through the con tinued generosity of those who have in the past always been so loyal 1T their support of the hospital.
 Home Nearly Ready It was announced that the new nurses home will be ready for oc cupancv in two weeks. The main dor. mitory has been recently built at z cost of approximately sSo,0o0, an( will provide splendid accommodation! for 55 nurses which will be needed upon the completion of the new hos pital
 Plans are now nearly completed fo the new hospital building for whicl it is hoped that bids can be accepted within the next few weeks. It ha heen impossible to start work on tn, main building until the nurses hom' was completed and several fram' houses on the property vacated by re moyal of nurses to the new nurses home.
 It is also to be regretted that ; number of subscriptions to the nev hospital building are still unpaid ant it is the earnest hope of the boarc that these overdue payments may b. completed at the earliest possible mo ment in order that the money may b. in hand before contracts are under taken for the erection of the nev building

State
Viscount Bryce came to the United
States in 1907 as ambassador from
Great Britain and during his stay here
endeared himself to officia Washing
ton as one of the most democratic
members of the diplomatic crps.
He was a particular friend of and
associate of President Roosevelt, and
warm attachment grew up between
them, inspired in large part by their
fondness for literature.
During his stay as ambassador Wis
count Bryce made an intensive study
OF American government and customs

peared in his scholarly book. While

point of view, his success in negotia.
