MATTER IS TURNED OVER
 TO CORPORATION COUNSEL
Claim for Payment of S51l.t3 Bill Against City of New Britain Ex- pectcd to Be Prcsscd-Hospital Head Declares Boy Had No BIcm- i>hcs On Body When Transferred From Bristol Institution,
fSpc.Lal tn thn IInra1hl


 Bristol, Jan. Emphatic dcnials that the Bristol hospital had been guilty of negligence in the case ot Walter Thompson, smallpox patient over whose expenses Bristol and New Britain authorities have wrangled for the past year, were made by Mrs. Eftle Simpson, superintendent of the local institution, in an interview last night, and when questioned further today she said she believed that the youth had contracted the disease while a patient at the New Britain General hospital.
 There was an epidemic of small poN at the Bristol hospital at the time young Thompson was brought there following an accident, she ad- mltted, and q laundryman and a woman who occupied the room next to the Thompson boy contracted the disease. Mrs. Simpson stated that she advised against removing the boy to the New Britain institution even aft CT it had been asCcrtalncd that his family had not resided in Bristol long enough 10 establish residence and claim charity aid there. The boys father however. transferred him after having signed a waiver. she said.
 No Blcmishcs When Transferred
 At the time young Thompson left Bristol, Mrs. Simpson stated, she examined him, and there was not q blomish on his body at that time. She therefore felt that he must have contracted the smallpox after his re- moval to New Britain.
 After smallpox had developed the New Britain authorities did not wish to open their isolation hospital for d single case, and at their request the boy was brought back 10 Bristol and treated at the isolation hospital in the Chippins Hill district. Tho city of Bristol later billed New Britain for S57l.43 for care of the boy in that institution. but. upon advice of Corporation Counsel J. H. kirkham, the Hardware City board of health voted yesterday not to pay the bill. At the same time is charged that the youth had contracted the disease through the negligence of the Bris- tol hospital authorities.

Sugar Publicity Man Says Senator Confers With Manufacturers on Rates and Always Stands in With Admin istration Plans.
Letter Also Claims Groups Working for High Duty Had Inside Approach to Hoover-Hoped to In- nuence President on Rate Question.
Special 10 the Herald)

Washington, Jan. S--Eurther ref crenccs to Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut in the proceedings of the senate lobby committee cropped mp today, this time with reference to the sugar tariff. Again a lobbyist asserted that Senator Bingham was closely linked with Manufacturers Association of Connecticut in his stand on all tariff matters before the senate. Likewise the lobbyist, who in this case was H. H. Pike, Jr., Wall Street sugar broker. alleged that Senator Bingham is a strong republican organization man and can be expected to stand for almost anything the administration stands for"
 All of this testimony along this line recalled the recent Bingham diff faculties in connection with the tariff. resulting in a vote of censure for the senator for his alleged connec- tions with the manufacturers
 Additional developments on the lobby probe of sugar included an- other indication that publicity man believed he had an inside road to the ear of President Hoover in the fight for high duties. Pike read a letter indicating that w. C. Darcy had a personal method of approach to Hoover" and intended to see that Hoover got full information on the sugar situation.
 Text of Memorandum
 The memorandum read into the record concerning Senator Bingham follows:
 Senator Bingham. republican. ConnectiCut: Is d New England protcctionist, but that section does not favor too high duties on com- modities it has to consume. An in- crease of sugar rates would be un- popular in Connecticut, the senator thinks. However, he has heard nothing there on the subject up to this time.
 He is referring communications on the tariff to the Connecticut Manufacturers association for con- ment. Bingham is a Hoover man and may be expected to stand with the administration on almost any, thing. He hears the president op- poses the sugar increases. However, the senator realizes that in tariff legislation 1t is sometimes necessary to trade"
