CLEAN BATHING
 WATERS SOUGHT
Scott Describes Difficult ties and Recommends
 Community Action

Implying that the "off season" for outdoor bathing IS the time for Connecticut communities to take steps which will lead to the elim- ination of sewage in their bathing waters before the next swimming season arrives, Warren J. Scott, di- rector of the bureau of sanitary engineering of the state depart ment of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today urged the public of the state to get behind the, movement for cleaner shore waters, lakes and streams by pro- motion of sewage treatment facil- ities. 4en'a
 MT, Scott explained that in the past the state department of health has been reluctant to condemn bathing areas. where sewage ex- isted because of the impossibility of setting up yardstick or bac- terial standard in such areas. In the first place, he said, all outdoor bathing waters at times show some bacterial contamination; and. sec ondly, there is a dearth of evidence as to cases of sickness from bath ing in contaminated areas. The average bather does not swallow great quantities of water while bathing, and contaminated water is likely to result in a few scattered cases of such intestinal diseases as typhoid fever and dysentery rather than an epidemic. Likewise there Is practically no evidence that skin infections frequently attributed to outdoor bathing places actually do result from contact with polluted
 water. They may be caused by contact with other bathers either directly or through contamination carried from one bather to another through the water, even clean wa ter, he stated.
 Despite these facts, bathing in polluted waters can hardly be considered safe. Where human sewage outlets are known to exist near bathing area and, water an. Ialyses indicate marked degree of
 bacterial pollution, it is time 10 consider what improvements should be taken, Mir Scott declared.
 The whole subject of safety of outdoor bathing places boils itself down to three points, he declared. These are: CD The individual should use judgment in selecting
 bathing places. avoiding those with nearby sources of human sew age pollution and avoiding places where there is great concentration to bathers in relatively stagnant bodies of water with lifle dilutiop and poor circulation; (2) Bathing in harbors receiving untreated sew age or below sewage outlets in
 large streams or other waters i s questionable practice even, though
 lack of epidemiological evidence
 and lack of accepted bacterial
 standards do not warrant condcln- nation: (3) The public should give full support to the promotion ot sewage treatment facilities both foi the protection of its health and for the conservation of its rccrea-
 tional assets, which If not protect
 ed may in time of necessity be | cHndau1no6- .4.

F. s. Students
 Talk OF Strike.

A swhispering campaign'' current among students of Crosby high school during the past week in regard to a school strike In which Ii is claimed 800 pupils are scheduled to walk out Monday morning was characterized to-day as "ab- surilv by Superintendent of Schools Thomas 2. COndOn.
 Both Dr. COndOn and Princi. pal Louis ThibOdcau of Crosby said they had heard nothing about the walk0ut. The re- putci grievance of the pupils Is the hour of release from their studies which they wish changed to 1915.
 Dr COnd0n said that in his opinion the publicity given to the young strikers In the re- cent series of school walkOuts throughout the. country was largely responsible for the out breaks. All of them had coll lapscd within short time, he said, and a strike here would be as unsuccessful as the others

MYSTERY CRIMES

Two Murders That Shook
 RockpOrt, M la s s, Re- vived By New Clue

Rockport, Mass, Oct 19-(UP)- Investigation of the mysterious slayings of Mrs Augustus P. John son and Arthur F. Oker in 1882 and 1883 was under way again to- day after finding o ia rusted ham, mer, believed one of the murder weapons. The hammer, similar to those used by stonecutters em. ployed in the vicinity, was discov- cred by boys playing in field.
 The body of Mrs Johnson was found in her Pigeon Cove home, which apparently had been fired by the slayer in an effort to cover his tracks. Her head had been bat tered by a blunt instrument. The slaying was linked with similar killing the previous year, when Ar thus F. Oker, village tailor and like the first victim, member of the Swedish Congregational church, was beaten to death in his shop. Rockport once was the center of stonecutting activities.
 The killing of Oker precipitated one of the most extensive investi- gations in Massachusetts history, and included a house to- house can vass by state police in search of clues

TROTSKY FOUND
GUILTY IN COURT

Dr.. r. ". TrotSky was found
ruilty of charge of practicing me-
dicine without license by Justice
CT the Peace Charles E. Hardy
Monday, and was sentenced to serve
go days in Jail.
Immediately after sentence was
pronounced, notice of appeal was
given and Trotsky was released on
$500 bond. put up by two local men.
At the hearing, DR.. ]. H. Patter-
son, secretary of the Arizona State
Board of Medical Examiners, tes-
titled that Trotsky did not have an
Arizona license to practice medi-
cine, nor that he ever filed an ap-
plication for an Arizona license.
Under oath, Trotsky admitted
that he had been convicted OF a
felony.
Trotsky said he came to Nogales
upon the specific request of DR..
Glenn Harker and that he has
merely assisted Harker:: However,
the evidence which the prosecution
introduced at Mondays hearing,
proved otherwise.
The prosecution was conducted by
County Attorney E. R. Thurman,
Deputy Attorney General Cecil Ed
wards and Attorneys James V. Rob-
ins and Nasib Karana.
Local members of the Santa Cruz
County Medical Society stated a
few days ago that they had no de-
sire to try this case through the
newspapers-this being a matter for
the courts to pass upon. However,
it is stated that the medical So
ciety have in their possession a
record Of Trotsky's activities since
he entered this country. It Is stated
further that the local medical pro-
fession is not prosecuting Trotsky
for anything personal-it simply
being matter of law enforcement
It is stated that every physician
other than Trotsky, practicing me-
dicine In Santa Cruz county, is le-
sally licensed so to do-and it is
unfair to those so qualified and are
complying with the laws OF the
state-to have some one not SO
qualified come here and engage IN
the practice of medicine.
Local physicians state "that it l;
their solemn duty to uphold the
laws of this state and to endeavol
to protect the welfare and health
Of the people Of this community ir
order that they may not unwilling
ly fall into the hands OF non-llcens'
ed physicians. J.:

WASHINGTON LOOKING AHEAD
TO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 auto
caster) Nobody is talking about
anything but politics, at the mon-
ent here in Washington. With the
Congressional elections out Of the
way, the talk is mainly about pre-
parations for the Presidential cleo
ton of 1886. Naturally. the predom-
inant interest is in the ways where
by Mr.. Roosevelt will maintain his
prestige and that of his party; but
there are still few Republicans
left, and the real puzzle is how they
are going to make themselves
heard and what they will find to
make a party issue Of between now
and two years from now.
The first problem which the Pre-
sident will have to solve, looking
ahead to 1886, is how he can pacify
the war veterans without back
tracking on his previous declara-
tions against the immediate pay
ment of the bonus. The Adrninistra-
ton had thought that question was
