 Ellinger Special Policeman
 A communication was received from the board of park commis- sioners, asking that Clyde M, Ellin- ger. an employe of the part depart- ment, be appointed as special police officer to have Jurisdiction in the city parks. The communica- ton explained that the park board Is having trouble in the parks with children who do considerable dam age, and that 1t felt the appointing of a special officer would be an effective means of eliminating it. The board acceded to the request.
 Before making the motion to ap- point Eliinger. Commissioner Parker inquired as to the character and personality of the man, and what the park board expected of him in his capacity as special policeman. He explained that he felt the need of answers to these questions as 1t was tendency for some 10 become over officious when they were given a badge and become a source of an noyance and trouble for the police department

Yale Professor Hurt
 When Hit by an Auto

New Haven, Oct. S-The condition of Prof. Emeritus John H. Niemeyer of the Yale school of fine arts, who was hurt by an automobile last night was regarded as satisfactory this morning. The professor whose age is S5 has a compound fracture of the right leg, concussion of the brain and lacerations. It was thought amputation of the leg would be nec- essary but today this operation was hardly thought likely if the patient continued to improve and shock to his system is not pronounced.
 Prof. Niemeyer was crossing Whitney avenue near his home in Edward street when the machine driven by Legrand Cannon, ran into him, the driver claiming that he did not see the pedestrian. Coroner Mix had Cannon before him today for examination.

RETIRES AS HEAD
 OF HEALTH DEPT.
pr. Bray Announces He Cannot
 Give Time to Office

At a meeting of the health board yesterday afternoon, pr. Henry T. Bray announced his intention of re- signing the chairmanship next month, but he will continue to serve us commissioner. His action Is necessitated by his inability to give the office the time it requires, he explained.
 The board appointed Dewey O. selander as third sanitary inspector. Mir. Selander held this office for more than a year prior to hisssntry into federal vocational training, and he was succeeded by Matthew Egan, whom he now succeeds. Other ap- plicants for the office included Jo- seph Conley of Beaver street. George D. Lynch of East Main street, Jo- seph Ryan of Walnut street. and B. r. Riley of Harrison street, A bal lot taken showed four votes for Selander and two for Ryan, Con- missioners Erwin and Walsh favor- ing the appointment of Ryan.
 The reslgnations of Maurice E. Jones who was named as bacteriolo- gist but who did not come to this city to take up the work, and of Margaret Meehan named as assist ant clerk and who worked only three days, were reported to the board.
 The application of Dr. Levenson. an interne at the Hartford hospital, was read but no action was taken. He is the husband of Dr. Levenson, the school physician.
 The board voted to empower Dr. Pullen to make arrangements for keeping open the isolation hospital so 1t will be ready for any emer- gency that may arise. Due to the mayors opposition to $6,000 ap- propriation to completely remodel the building 1t is not likely that il can be used as a,hospital with the best results this year. The super. intendent Is anxious to retain some help so the building will not be tampercd with.
