SLAIN JERSEY WOMAN EX-L0CAL RESIDENT'
|LITTLETYPHOID
 IN CONNECTICUT
Only Six Cases Were Re- ported Last Year to State
 Health Dept
MILK CAUSE OF ALL

Connecticut has an enviable record in the prevention of typhoid fever, according to statistics of the state department of health which show that during the year of 193O there were only six cases of the dreaded ated water supplies. No case of typhoid has been traceable to a pub- lie water supply. either privately or municipally operated, in Conec- ticut in 20 years. The last case and least death resulting from typhoid infection through a public water supply occurred in 1911.
 The comparatively few cases of typhoid which do occur in Connec- tfcally unpreventab ble sources. chief ly from persons who unbeknown to themselves and their friend are "ty- phoid carriers" Sources of food and water supply are so carefully protected that infection is rare and in the water supplies danger is com pletely eliminated by the close CO., operation between the department of health and the water utilities.
 Protection of the water supply be- gins on the watersheds surrounding the reservoirs and in the tributary streams from which the storage ba- sins are fed. Every precaution is taken to prevent contamination from human and animal life, decaying ve- getation and the like. Periodical chemical checks are made of the water from samples taken from the various reservoirs. Filtration and chemical treatment of the water is customary and in practically all cases water is sent through a process of chlorination before it is distri- buted for public consumption. Chlor- nation ends the last chance of pol lution and guarantees an absolutely pure supply.

, The victim of one of the weirdest murders in the history of Flew Jer- sey, Mrs Phoebe Quick Stader, was former resident of Waterbury and d sister of Mrs Frederick Loughlin who recently moved from this city to Waltham, N. Y.
 Some of the details of the crime seem so impossible that police off, oials are still credulous. William Frazer now under arrest on his own statements of the crime, is being held by the authorities of Elizabeth, N. J. He is being held TOT a grand jury hearing. Frazer, a former restaurant worker, inherited s25,O00 several years ago and of late has been regarded as one of New Jerseys playboys."

Members of six camps of the Sons and GranEsons of Union Veterans of the Civil War of Connecticut of New Britain voted unanimously at a meeting held in Junior Mechanics hall on Glen street last Friday 10 protest tie further publication and distribution of Edgar Lee Master g book, Lincoln the Man. The reso- lution de:!ared that certain para graphs. quotations and statements. claimed e have been taken from said book and published as such by the pIess of America and gener- ally throughout the civilized world, are highly degarding and of a de- fdmatory character, as applied to the life and Ina bits of Abra ham Lincoln and cont ary to the known facts as stated by the many biographers oe Lincoln. the writing of historians nf the time and the testimony of people wto knew him and were as sociated with him."

Mrs Stader was the nude victim of a murder. Her body was found in a patch of woods in Virginia The testimony of Ira Jensen of Rah- way, N. J., forms one of the impos- sible features of the crime. On d dark night he was called by Frazer to meet his girl friend" He shook hands with a corpse, the body being propped up in the drivers seat be- side Frazer. The latter is cousin Of Jensen. Frazer drove the car con j. taining the body around the country before tossing it into a patch of woods.

TROLLEY RICHES
 ARE RECOGNIZED
Gen. Vehicle Code Would Give Certain Privileges
 to the Trolley
HAS RIGHT OF WAY

The principle that the street car. since it carries the greater number of persons. should be entitled to cer- tain privileges of the right of way in traffic is recognized in the Uni- form Vehicle code which has been compiled and recently revised by the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety in cooperation with the American Automobile associa- ton. the American Electric Railway association, the Chamber of Com merce of the United States and sev- era1 other groups of similar import ance. The conference. which was originally headed by President Her bert Hoover. now has for it's chair man Secretary of Commerce Robert P. Lamont.
 In Article XI of the fourth section of the Uniform Code. which is en- titled "A Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways" there is the following provision: "(a) It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehi- cle proceeding upon any street car track in front of street car upon a street, to fail to remove such vehicle from the track as son as practicable after signal from the operator of said street car.' b) When a street car has started to cross an intersec- tion, no driver of a vehicle shall drive upon Or cross the car tracks within the intersection in front of the street car"
 In the appended explanatory notes, 1t is recognized that while street rail- ways operating under franchise do not have exclusive right to that part of the roadway occupied by the tracks. nevertheless, to facilitate the movement of traffic, including street cars. and the prompt transportation of the large number of persons using the street cars, it is desira ble to pre- vent motor vehicles from necessarily impeding their operation by the in c1usion of the restrictions quoted above
