 ''The examinations were being made at the request of the Board of Edu- cation," MT. Zepp declared today. 1.-TWO years ago pr. Tones, former Supt. of Schools Slawson, and several other members of the Beard of Edu- cation asked the Board of Health to conduct the examinations of fifth grade pupils as they were about to be promoted to a higher grade. We arranged to do the work and have conducted the work right up to the present time. All this year we have been doing the work and had 1t near ly completed when this controversy began.

 ''The Board of Education, however, may take over the work and hire their own physician, but they can not drive us from the schools. The state statues protect us.'

 The three officers, Elmer Cor reIl, James Weed, and w. c.

 One story that seems to have gained some credence was to the effect that agents of Ravens had been in com nlunication with Attorney Mara, in an effort to arrange some agreement whereby restitution might be mad @ and the criminal charges dropped.

 eve abhor anything in the nature of a reprisa1 for the death of our son, Rory O'Connor. Our grief is not softened by the thought of the suffer- ings of others.

HOOCH MEN
 GIVING CITY WIDERBERTH
Supt. of the State Anti Saloon League Com mends Judges, Police and Press Here.

Bootleggers are giving this city
 a wide berth, according to Ralph
 H. White, superintendent of the
 Connecticut Anti-Sa1oon League,
 because of the strict enforcement
 of the liquor laws here by Judges
 Boardman and COmley in the city
 court.
 Remarkable results have been obtained by these judges in the city court" says MT. White. ''They are strict and severe in enforcing the liquor laws. The penalty for the first offense is almost invariably $20o and costs. When the offender owns a Haded if the offender will entirely dismantle his bar and promise to use the premises for other purposes. Under this strict enforcement there have been comparatively few second offenses, necessitating few jail com nitments. Boot1eggers give the city 3 wide berth Some of them seem to have come to New Haven"
 MT. White gives figures to prove his contention. In 1921 Bridgeport had but 3ss arrests for drunkenness while New Haven had 2,145. Also this city collected S47,341 in fines last year while New Haven collected $3S,- 137. He adds:-
 ''The Bridgeport police commis- strict enforcement and the police are proud of their efficiency. The New Haven commissioners have disbanded the liquor enforcement squad and seem to discriminate against officers who do their duty in enforcing the liquor law"
 "Bridgeport has the advantage of a dry press, while the New Haven press is the wettest in the state," con- cludes MT. White.
