Says Norwalk
 Flooded With
 Diseased Food

New Haven. June 16-Conditions surrounding the sIaughtering and shipment of meat into this city were described as an Absolute disgrace' by government Inspector of Meat William T. Conway in ordering the passage of an ordinance governing the slaughtering and preparation of meat sold here before an a1dermanio committee last night.
 The ordinances propose a modern inspection system at the place of slaughter of meat sent into this city. Henry G. Frederick, local health de- partment meat inspector. also endors- ed the ordinance, claiming that the present system of inspection of meat for sale did not cover the case as preparation of the meat for sale often concealed the presence of dan gerous disease.
 Norwalk, June 16-That this city is being flooded with diseased food, par ticularly meat, was the warning given by Health Officer R. D. Purdue before the local finance board last night in. urging an appropriation for a local food inspector He asserted that meat and food condemned in Stan- ford and other places was brought in here and sold. The statement of conditions surprised the members of the board who will undoubtedly favor the appropriation for local food inspector.

France And Germany Vie
 To Curry Lithuania Favor

Riga, June 16-More friendly at tenton has been heaped upon the Baltic states by various European powers since the Rapallo treaty, the trade agreement between Russia and Germany was signed April IT last, than during all the time since their creation by the Treaty of Versailles. This is because of the geographical position of the states, forming as they do the most accessible ''bridge'' be- tween Russia, and Germany
 Shortly after signing the Germans started the ball rolling by a hand shaking expedition headed by Herr Butcher. Berlin's commissioner for the Baltic Herr Butcher visited Kov- no, where he spent several days with the Lthuanians, thence on to Riga for conferences with the Latvians, giving assurances in Riga, as he did in Kovno, Of Germany's friendly and peaceful intentions which, in the end, would bring only good, economically and otherwise, for the young repub- lies which lie between East Prussia and Russia From Riga, Herr Bluch- CT went to Reval on the same mis- sion, and afterward to Helsingfor holding conference in each place. The Germans in May inaugupated an air plane service connecting the capitals af the new Baltic states with Koenigs- berg in East Pru, ,ssia, whence there is aerial service direct to Berlin The

Doctors Puzzled Over Case Of Missouri Youth, Who, With Neck
 Broken, Drives His Automobile

SigIer was placed in bed, and in an effort to force the two separated DOT tions together so that they might heal a thirty pound container of water was supended from his head as he lay in the hospital. He remained in that condition for five months.
 Only recently did his physicians feel safe in permitting him to leave his bed, and then not until a plaster paris cast had been constructed about his body and neck to hold the broken portions together and eliminate any chance of having his neck twisted.
 Sigler has returned to his home here several times. He went back to the hospital in St. Louis only recent ly, following the taking of an x-ray picture of his neck and finding that the portions that were pulled apart had moved slightly. Whether or not another operation, more serious than any in the past, will have to be un- dertaken is not yet determined.
 Sigler has gone through the long siege with a spirit that Is amazing. Not a time has he complained of his troubles. When his condition war rants the removal Of the cast, Sigler says it will have to be cut from his body with a chisel.
 Attending physicians declare that he has a good chance to completely recover, but the operation yet to be made is one of the most serious in the surgical profession.

Germans also are planning to inn prove the Baltic railroad service which, indirectly, connects Berlin with Moscow.
 Upon the heels of the Butcher mis- si on quickly came the recognition de jure of Lithuania by France, and since then French missions of vari- ous kinds have been pouring into Kovno, arranging for the opening of trade relations on a. most friendly basis. Now France and Germany are vieing with each other to curry Lithu- ania's favor.
 The French missions in Riga and Esthonia have increased their per sonne1l, and 70 leading French manu- facturers will participate in Riga s approaching trade show. The French exhibits are to arrive on special steamships, and the show will be wis ted by delegations of business men and several members of the French parliament. The French National Bank of Commerce had sent a repre- sentative to Riga to establish con nections with Latvian capitalists. Two French destroyers are making cour- tesy visits to Riga, Reval and Hell sinGfors.
 The British have not been far be- hind. They have sent many missions to the Baltic states, and London and Manchester business men are seen in all the principal cities.

Poplar Bluff, Mo. June 16 - To have his neck broken, yet to walk drive a car, play billiards and take ton of Stewart Sigler, nineteen. for mer star athlete of the. Poplar Bluff High school The case has somewhat baffled the medical scientists.
 Two years ago Sigler with a party of friends was on outing six miles north of here. During the outing number of the party sought to refresh themselves with a dip into Black River.
 SigIer made a dive off of a high bank into the depths of the river and struck his head on the rocky bot tom. When he came up he felt daZed and made his way out of the stream. Not realizing the serious condition which he was in, he remained at home for several days, his neck be- coming partially paralyzed and stiff He had no idea that the trouble was more than the common ailment term ed by laymen "crick in the neck" and did not until his condition had become alarming did he go to a phy- sician for treatment,
 As soon as the exact cause of his condition was learned Sigler was hur- ried to St. Louis and placed under the care of specialists. An operation was performed and it was found that the fragments holding the yertebrae in the back part of his neck had been broken and stood a fraction of an inch apart

Officials
 Seize Two Barges

Customs officials at New Haven yes- terday seized the two big, roomy barges. City of Boston and City of Maiden. They are suspected of hav- ing been used by bootleggers in the month of March to visit foreign liners just off shore near Montauk Point and to have transferred into their holds the cargo of liquor brought from foreign shores. Their field of opera tions are said to have included ports between New York and Boston.
 One of the barges was. tied up to a dock having apparently been deserted by her crew. The other barge was found half a mile down the harbor partly filled with water and without any trace of her crew.
 The barges were seized upon re- quest of Colonel William Hayward, U. S. District attorney for the Dis trfct of New York. Action against the owners of the barges, a New York concern, has already been taken by the Customs authorities at the Port of New York. The barges are being held under the detention of the cus- toms officials at New Haven.

Quinn on the grounds of desertion and cruelty by Judge Newell Jen- nings. bet set aside until one week from today when Quinn will contest the claims made by his wife.
 It is believed that the contention to be made by Quinn is that he has cohabited with his wife within the three years necessary for the grant ing of a divorce and that the only thing he ever did that would indicate that he was cruel was to slap" his wife on one occasion when sbe had provoked him.
 One of theS witnesses appearing for the plaintiff in the case is reputed to be relative of Congressman Schuyler Merritt. The case will be heard before Judge Jennings next Fri daV
