Connecticut Departments Christmas Bulletin An-
 nOunces New Low Death Rate for Diseases

 From the viewpoint of health, 1888 will be a record year in that the death rates from diseases which only a quarter of a century ago reaped a drastic harvest among Connecticut citizens will have been cut to the lowest levels in history, the state department of health de- clared today in the annual Christ mas number of it's weekly bulletin.
 In the bulletin, the Apartment extended Christmas and New Year greetings 'to all friends in the state who through tireless' efforts in the cause of public health have saved lives and prevented illness and contributed to the general morale in spite of the depressing influences that have prevailed" and expressed the hope that ''this splen- did service may continue and bear fruitful results in the coming year."
 Under the caption, Hooking back over the year." the bulletin said:
 "'The year 1883 has been re- inarkable. It will be record year in all probability. New low death rates may be expected for the gen. eral death rate, tuberculosis, 4diph- theria, typhoid fever and probably infant mortality.
 Slowly, but none the less cer- tainly, typhoid fever and diph- theria have been so far conquered that in 1893 less than 2 persons in 100000 of the population VIII die of diseases that quarter of a century ago took upwards of 35 lives in 100000 combining these two causes.

PRESIDENT HAS GIVEN PROMISE
 AT CONFERENCE
Secretary Hull Informs the Sister Republics of No
 Intervention

Montevideo, Uruguay, December 20 - (UP) = Basis for a new and vitally important outline of United States policy toward it's sister American republics was in the archives of the Pan American con- ference today.
 Briefly it was a simple pledge that under the administration of President Roosevelt no government need fear intervention by the United States.
 The pledge was made by Cordell Hull, chief United States delegate, at a meeting of the conferences commission on international law.
 It constituted a fullfillment of President Roosevelt's broad pledge that he would seek to make the United States a good neighbor to fellow nations of the western hem isphere.
 To the little republics of Central America it offered hope that their national pride, sensitive in inverse proportion to their tininess, might not again be outraged by a curt demand from the United States that they follow it's dictates or suffer in- vasion.
 Hull made his pledge in explain tional law committee. The reser- vations, he said, were made only pending clarification of the resolu- tion's declarations, and in order that there might be no future arguments over possibly obscure passages.
 The delegates burst into cheers when Hull made his good neighbor pledge.
 No government need fear inter- vention under the Roosevelt ad- ministration," he said.
 Every observing person must realize that under the Roosevelt administration the United States government as much as any govern ment is opposed to interference in the freedom, the sovereignty and the internal affairs of any coun- try
 The resolution passed by the law committee declared that no nation had the right to intervene in the foreign or domestic affairs of an- other nation; that states were equal before the international law: that recognition of a government was unconditional and irrevocable; that the fundamental rights of na- tions could not rightly be affected in an ymanner, and that the politi- cal existence of state was not re- lated to the matter of it's recoSni- ton or non-recognition by other governments.

BLAME DRIVER IN
 FATAL CAR CRASH
John T. NayIOr Held Grim inalIy Responsible for
 Death of Youth

John T. Naylor of Cooke street, this city, has been held criminally responsible for the death of Wil- liam Desjardins, IS. of South Main street, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident December 7th on the Watertown road. Nay Tor with Desjardins and Edward Dussault went for a ride late in the evening. While driving along Watertown road near Adt's switch Naylor lost control of the car. The machine overturned and the Des- jardins youth was so badly crushed that he died within few hours at the Waterbury hospital.
 Coroner John T. Monzani of this city made a preliminary investiga- ton of the case, but as the mishap occurred within the Jurisdiction of Watertown the formal inquest was conducted by Coroner Lester w. Schaefer. The latter recorded his finding last evening in Winsted.
 A peculiar phase of the case is that Naylor has already beens ar- raigned by the authorities of Wa tertown and heavily fined and com mitted to sail for violating the mo- tor vehicle laws. It is one of the first instances in recent years in which a coroner's prisoner was placed on trial and convicted of comparatively minor offenses. It is now believed likely that a war rant alleging automobile homicide will be sworn out and served on Naylor when he completes his pres ent jail term.

 Hollywood, Dec. 20-(UP)-Af- ter two years of married life, Kay Francis and her husband, Kenneth MacKenna, director, have agreed to separate.
 Local friends were taken aback when the couple notified studio of- ficials that an amicable separation had been decided upon.

 Early in the year influenza showed signs of becoming epidemic but rapidly reached a peak and definitely declined in the middle of February. As a matter of fact the deaths from this disease in January and February equalled exactly the number of influenza deaths during the ten months of 1892.
