9 Months Old
 Baby Drowned
 In Pequonnock

The body of an unidentified female child apparently about nine months old was picked up this morning. at the foot of Lumber street and Hous- atomic avenue. There were absolutely no marks of identification, the child being unclothed-the body being cast about help1essly in the Long Island Sound. The body was picked up about 12 o'clock noon and the police were immediately notified. At practically the same time Medical Examiner Gar lick was notified and after viewing the body ordered it's removal to the City morgue.
 According to Dr. Garlick the body had been in the water about a week. It is now in a decomposed condition, the body being bloated by the swal- lowing of the salt water. The face of the child is also discolored to great extent, and although white. now re- sembes a negro. Its arms and legs due to the casting about in the water, are skinned to some extent and the arms hang Imply by the side wasted away to practically nothing but a thread.
 Police who are investigating the case are practically convinced that the child was the victim of foul play and are working on that theory at the present time.

With five positive cases of small pox. one very severe. reported from varying locations in Stratford since last night, hopes that several days lapsiEg with no cases showing mean ing that the epidemic had blown over", seem to be blasted in the old town. The Stratford total to date since a week ago is II. There Is less Stratford starts a separate unit, and all cases are confined and quar- antined in private homes.

If any do operate. only vaccinated children will he per ,ndt. nitsed t to ss sttsnd; The oad stratfor sr ter tonight's performances.
 Particularly discouraging to the of hcials is the fact that the most se- were case noted to date, and report ed today, has afflicted an adult, John
 
 Main street, living near Paradise Green. His daughter, Margaret, II, a student of Nichols school is also afflicted. Three other new cases are all in one family. Genevieve Ku11- berg, Il; Margaret Kullberg, 10; and John Kullberg, four, all of 1105 North avenue are -Quarantined. The two old CT children attended Garden school while the boy was too young to be enrolled.
 Free clinics will again be operated in the Town hall The sessions will open at nine a. nn., continue until noon, to be resumed at two o'clock and to remain open until five. To date over 1,3Q0. people have been vaccinated in Stratford since the out break of the epidemic. This is lit tl more than 10 per cent. of the popu- Iation. There is no definite meth cd of ascertaining how many persons had been vaccinated within seven years, and who are generally consld- cred immune because of the inocu- IafiOn
