NO PUBLIC RECORD
 OF BLOOD TESTS
Miss Dora Egan, Town Clerk, States Results tc
 Be Kept Private

Statements of physicians and la. boratories as to the results of bloc tests taken of prospective brides ar . grooms in conjunction with the new marriage law which goes into effect January ist will not be left open to public Inspection, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan emphatically declared to- day. Miss Egafi yesterday afternoon attended meeting of registrars of vital statistics from oil parts Of Con. recticut in Hartford where the new law, passed by the 1885 legislature, was studied.
 William 0. Yelling, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state health department, presided at the meeting. It was brought out that licenses issued during 1885 but ufl- used when January 1st arrives will be invalid. Tn other words, persons who think they can escape the blood tests by using old licenses they have not yet disposed of are mistaken. The 1885 licenses do not require Q blood test.
 OHueE tLle HSW hbW POAhOtAo BVhtb to be married must submit to Kahn or Wasserman blood tests not more than 40 days before applying for marriage licenses. The tests must be made in laboratories approved by the state health department.
 The registrars voted that they will decline to open their books for public inspection as to the results of blood tests filed with them by the prospective brides and groons.

At the present time scores of members of the different Italian societies of the city are canvassing the city for donations to the fund. As the appeal is being made directly to residents of Italian descent, the general committee feels that what ever sacrifice the Italians make will not interfere with the American Red Cross campaign or any other deserving appeal which may be sponsored locally.

PERMANENT MILK
 SERVICE CHANGE
Daylight Delivery Starts Tomorrow A. M.; Night
 "NOiseS" Cease

Daylight milk delivery will go permanent basis for the first time into effect tomorrow morning on a in the history of the city. Instead of the present schedule which calls for the starting of delivery at 3 o'clock in the morning the dairy employees will start to work at 6:S0 o'clock, a. m.
 All the leading milk dealers of the city are joining in the uniform change of delivery hours for the pur- pose of bettering working conditions for their employees and also to elim- mate night noises and give tner customers better service in general
 It is pointed out by the milk deal- CTS that milk will not be as likely to be frozen if it is delivered after 6:3O o'clock in the morning, for IL will not be left standing outside on porches so long. Furthermore, the chatter of milkmen's shoes on stair ways will be done away with and the unnecessary barking of dogs m the middle of the night will be elimi- mated.
 Several cities have already adopted ordinances requiring daylight deliv- cry So as to eliminate the noise or delivery trucks. The local dealers, however, are counting on the pubic to support the new system so that " will continue permanently m 1orce'

"Wethersfield"
Connecticut State Prison No Summer Resort Finds Writer Yankee Justice Clemency Made of "Stern Stuff Waterbury Prisoners Appeal For Pardons Be- fore State Board-Unanimous Vote Neces-
 sary For Freedom

showing that his sentence was somewhat in excess of that given to others. He got few years of the maximum, and had the min- 'imum reduced @ little.
 People may have an idea that some judges of our courts are somewhat lenient in the sentence ing of prisoners. Let us recall some of the sentences considered, to wit: 2 to 20 years, burglary: l4-l5 years, manslaughter; IS to 20 years, robbery; l2 to l5 years, assault with intent to commit murder; 10 to l5 years, injury by dynamiting; 15 to 30 years, as- sault with murder intent; 6 to 13 years, burglary, etc. The long sentences reminded me of the time that the Warden Garvin de- clared that any person who served ten years in Wethersfleld de- serevd Q pardon. Warden Lawes of Sing Sing prison has repeated the assertion many times since.
 But Wethersfield holds on to Its prisoners for dear life. It may be an easy thing to get into prison in this state, but 1t Is much harder to get out. Connecticut has never been noted for Its soft heartedness in this line. You would think, however, that out of so many cases heard that one de- serving of release would be found.
 Unanimous Vote
 The Board of Pardons seldom sits over one day, 1t considers all of It's cases during this one day. And to release 0 prisoner, the board must be unanimous in its decision. No majority vote here. As @ rule the hearings are tire- some, except to the petitioner, who grasps like drowning per- son for some ray of hope that might bring about his pardon. And the families of the poor in- mates: see them haunting the prison corridor, and finally being granted @ pass to meet their dear one behind the bars.
 One of those we observed was Baron Torkomian, sent up for so long a term, only lawyers can determine when he will be re- leased, If ever. The Baron has grown old in appearance, reiter- ates his innocense and prays for the day he will be able to estab- fish 1t. We remember him in his days of flush and freedom, when he'd call up Hodson's restaurant, and order his grapefruit, sausage and griddle cakes In advance of his appearance. And how he could eat; an appetite greater than most of the other morning customers. Now he must eat the prison fare; 1t may be good for all we know, but we have tasted 1t In by-gone years, and even though we were hanging witness es, 1t was not "so hot"
 Maybe it has changed for the better, but old MT. Baisden, the past deputy warden, once told us that the only thing he liked about 1t was the bread.
 Could you, MT. Reader, deter mine the merits of 60 applicants for pardon in one days sitting.
 Hurry, hurry" exclaimed the late Judge Thayer once to o tardy lawyer. pleading for a client, "others are waiting"
 "Yes, and my client is waiting" hotly replied the lawyer.
 You see from this that most board members like to hurry along.

BY THE OUT EASTER

Ever attend e hearing of the State Board of Pardons?
 Well, Tie Out Easter got such an assignment by the Editor of The Democrat for Monday, Nov. 4, and hiked away to the state prison at Wethersfield to observe the proceedings. They are little different than what they have been for these many years. It seems just as hard to get Q par- don now as 1t was in the old days when one of the late members from Q small town, a profession al man, too, held out, and blocked for years, attempts made to grant release to some deserving inmates.
 Just think of 1t, about 65 peti- tions for clemency were present. ed, and argued, and of all these only one, Charles Reid, Hartford, 0 crippled motorist, sent up for a short time for auto homicide, was actually pardoned. Several oth- CTS were pardoned but they have already served their time, and were in danger of being deported.
 Membership
 The board looked more nerci- ful than some of the ones we have seen In past years. The membership comprised the good and friendly Gov. Gross; Justice Frank Haines of the supreme court, Dr. Karl T. Phillips of Put nam, Rollin U. Tyler of Haddam, David S. Day of Bridgeport and John s. Adds of New Milford. Outside of the Governor and Dr. Phillips, however, all are lawyers.
 Waterbury was represented at the hearing by the appearance Of two prisoners, long termers, VII. liam Nowsette, l6 to 20 years for armed robbery, and Dennis Me- Carthy, 20 to 30 years as an ha. bitual criminal. If you are con- victed in Connecticut three times, the state can send you away for 3 long, long time; that's why young Mccarthy has so many years ahead of him. And Connecticuts state prison IS no summer resort, as we know its history dating back to the time that the late Gen. Chamberlain, of brutality fame, commanded It's forces. And we recall, too, the hearing of only Q few years back, when Gov. Trumbull appointed Q committed to investigate the condition of the institution. Nothing like that of the Chamberlain regime was found, but just the same there were some disclosures that showed they don't pat the inmates with Q cotton pad, once they happen to violate any of the prison rules. We attended that hearing from beginning to end; we talked with the chairman, the Hon. Homer s. Cummings, and his associates, Judge Clark and James T. Moran, and we discussed matters with the kindly and aged Miss Cowles, whose one interest in life seemed to be the salvation of the inmates of Wethersfleld, and the improve ment of conditions at the prison. Perhaps, she was too fussy, but just the same she was Q humane person, and denounced brutality. We remember the kind consider ations given her ct all of the hearings by the suave and gra- cious MT. Cummings.
 "Time Off"
 But we were talking about the pardon hearing of the other day. Mind, the spoor devils comiAS in one by one, in prison garb, and stating their case. We used to see them doing this up in the state Capitol, before the pardon board moved its quarters out to the prison itself.
