 Known cases were divided as fol- lows: Middletown, 47: Cromwell, IS; East Hampton. s; Portland, 3; and Chester, 1.
 There is little doubt that a lack of compulsory vaccination is respon- sible for the smallpox epidemic" Dr. Lanther told the United Press.

SCHOOLS COST AI,5O3 . OVER APPROPRIATION
Unforeseen Bills Cause of Deficit, Department
 Explains

Unexpected circumstances which could not. members of the school board say. be anticipated when the school department asked for an ap- proprlation last year have made 1t impossible for the department to stay within it's appropriation and the finance committee reports that the appropriation will be exceeded by approximately $41,503.21.
 Shortages are expected in six of the Is items as follows: Teaching. s4,S21.S5: tuition, $1,o07.so; jani- tors salaries $1,677.43: library and apparatus. $619.01: furniture and equipment. $3,377.O2: repairs, ESQ., GOO; total shortages $41.503.21.
 Balances are expected in the fol- lowing items: Open air school sup plies, $1.ooo; medical inspections, etc.. S1,S72.91; vacation schools, $151; attendance bureau. 3705; cen- sus, $104.s4: clerks. $6oo.25; fuel, $5.100, total. t9,534.10.
 In explanation the finance com- mittee reports that circumstances made 1t necessary that the teachers committee employ six additional teachers to t~ke care of the unex- pected influx of pupils from the Sacred Heart school.
 The shortage of tuition Is due to the fact that the department has to estimate the attendance a year in advance, and the estimate was too small.
 Janitors' salaries shortage was caused because of extra service in of its janitor; to the retirement of MT. Lampeon: to the need for jani- tor at the Old Burritt school which was reopened in September. 1927: and to six extra portable buildings. four at the Washington school and two at the Northend school.
 The need for equipping additional rooms was the cause of an overdraft in the item on furniture and equip- ment. The furniture was distributed as follows: Central Junior High school, $2.250; Smalley school. two rooms, 300; old Burritt school. $40O; Senior High school, $500: total. $4,15O.
 The following repair items called for expenditures not provided for in estimates or appropriation for 1927 1928 and account to some extent for the deficit:
 Moving and erecting portable. &s.- 200: equipping additional rooms at Central Jr. High. $4.500; equipping old Burritt for shops, s5.00o: equip ping rooms at Bartlett. $260: equip- ping rooms at Smalley, $2.125: equipping rooms, etc. at Senior High, S5,500: changes at Nathan Hale. $2,000: parapet at Elihu Bur- ritt. $1.2O0: Walnut Hill-driveway and vita glass.

ROGERS LAMP00NS
 DEMOCRATS TALKS Says He Never Called Officials What They Called Republicans JACKSON DINNER SPEAKER
HumOrIst Ridicules Senate, Opening With Prayer and Closing With InvestigataMl-Andy Jackson Idk- ed . Little Nip, He Thinks.

Washington, Jan. IS R-Will Rogers was speaker at last nights Democratic Jackson Day dinner but there were so many other speakers ahead of him that he had to wait until o'clock this morning to do his stuff. He paid them off, how ever, with his first 'quip." We ought to be home now, but if we go to anything given by the democrats We never get home.
 T don't know when the demo- cratic party started" he said, but from all I've heard tonight it started several hundred years before Jack son, for all they have dug up here tonight couldn't have happened since his time.
 Privileges For All.
 T have one thing to offer: That's equal opportunities for none and special privileges for all"
 If that line had been cut out we'd have bean home hours ago."
 Turning to Claud c. Bowers, the keynote speaker, Rogers said:
 Tt was yesterday when you mcde the speech, but I congratulate ycu. I've forgotten what you said, but it was darned good. When you got up and covered the thing you just about ruined these other guys. These other speakers could have washed up then and gone home.
 Talks On Respect.
 "They talk about my lack of re- spect for men in high offices. Say boy, not in my widest moments did I ever call a republican the names you did"
 Reminding his audience that Will liam Jennings Bryan once stampeded a convention, Rogers said, This lit- tie guy might do likewise. "Of course he hasn't got the physical attributes of Bryan," Rogers added, but then, looking into the White House, that is not so important"
 .Jibes For Congress.
 Turning his gun on the senate, Rogers said: Tt opens with a prayer and closes with an investiga- ton.
 'They investigate how much e. ch paid to get in and if one paid more than they did, they throw him out. The house never minds how much a member paid to get in because it figures if he did pay he's a simp."
 Andy Liked . "Nip."
 Will said he didn't know much about Andy Jackson but from what he'd read he liked "a nip now and then"
 No wonder he was sound on prin- ciples," the comedian added.
 i've got no message even if we stay here a week, but all you other guys had one. You said it's big moment and you went about com- raring notes. Now Jim Reed, is to come yet and we all want to hear him. Well, he took his speech to the Anti-Saloon League and asked 'em how it was"
 Reed joined az heartily as the others in the laughter.

WOMAN LEAVES LARGEST ESTATE
EVER RECORDED IN NEW YORK


NEW YORK, Jan. rs tR-The
largest estate ever recorded by the
New York state tax department
was left by Anna M. Hardness,
widow of the late stephen ".
Hardness, co-fOunder with John
ID. Rockefeller of the Standard
Oil company, it was revealed to-
day with the filing of the ap-
praisal.
The appraisal sets a gross valua-
tion of S1O7, ,O52,494 and net
valuation of S1O3,O52, ,048 upon her
holdings. Mrs. Harkness died in
1926, aged 88.
Tax department officials said
that no other resident of the state
has left within $2O,OOO,OOO of the
Hardness fortune since the depart
ment was organized in 1885. The
estate has to pay $4,000, 900 in in
heritance tax levies, of which 3d.
100000 went to this state, $685.
254 to IL other states, and $12,-
100000 to the federal government.
Mr.. Harkness, who died several
years before his wife, was said to
have left her fortune of approx
mateIy S5O,OOO,OOO. The increase
in the size Of the estate, plus the
many millions she distributed as a
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-26

philanthropist, was attributed to a
consistent rise in the market value
of her securities, which included
$4,000 shares of common stock in
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey.
Edward S. Harkness, son, is
sole executor and the largest bene-
ficiary under his mothers will,
receiving the entire residuary
estate of S93, 3,1SO,549.
Mrs. Harkness' will provided for
philanthropic bequests of $36,65O,-
900 with the proviso that the gifts
made by hc.~ from 1920 to the time
of her death be deducted from the
legacies. This provision reduced
the total of philanthropic legacies
to $9,725,OOO, of which the board
of foreign missions of the Presby-
terian church and its board Of ma
ticnaI missions each received $2,-
100000.
Million dollar Iegacies were left
the Metropolitan Museum and the
New York public library, but both
these gifts were made before her
death.
She also gave Yale university
$7,631,796 and distributed S31,-
1896, O,647 among various hospitals and
charities before her death.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-26

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (F) = One
billion dollars was written off the
quoted values of securities listed
on the New York stock exchange
today by the sweeping reaction in
spired by the unexpected raising of
the Chicago federal reserve bank
redis0Ount rate. The decline,
which ran from So to So share in
the active issues, was an orderly
cne, and the days sales which ran
above 2A million shares, were not
unusually large. RecOveries re-
duced many of the earlier losses
and in few instances, parti-
cuIarly in the public utility group,
sent stocks to new high records.
Heavy liquidation of stocks un-
doubtedly was influenced by the
rather general BELIEF that the
higher Chicago rate was intended,
at least in part, as a warning
against a further expansion of
speculative credit. Easy money
has been widely recognized as the
background for the recent advance
in stock prices which, measured
by the averages of leading indus
trial and railroad issues, recently
have been selling within few
points of their record high levels.
Therefore, the recent stiffening in
