OLD TUBERCULOSIS
HOSPITALS PLACE
IN BUDGET UPHELD
Allen Urges Funds Be Given
1t for Entire Next Fis-
cal Year.
PETITIONS TO CONVERT
TO OTHER USES ON FILE
Hazen Holds Building Unsuitable
and Wants to Concentrate
on Glenn Dale.

Appropriation of funds for continued
operation of the old tuberculosis Hos
pital, Fourteenth and Upshur streets,
for the entire next fiscal year, was
recommended today by Commissioner
George E. Allen.
The question is at issue in framing
of tentative budget for 1887. now
before the Commissioners, and arose
because of petitions to convert the
property to other municipal purposes
after the new tuberculosis hospitals
at Glenn Dale, Md, are finished.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen is
convinced the location of the old hos
pital is not suitable to its use and de-
sires to centralize tuberculosis hos
pitalization at Glenn Dale, except for
terminal cases at Gallinger Hospital.
He has been considering an appro-
priation for continuing its operation
only until January, 1887 figuring the
effect Of its abandonment would be
known before that time.
Need for Old Plant Seen.
The Fourteenth street building must
be operated up to September /. when
the new adult tuberculosis hospital is
scheduled to be finished. Health Off
Ger George c. Rutland and DR.. j.
Winthrop Peabody, general superin-
tendent of tuberculosis hospitals, both
contend the old plant will be needed
after the new buildings are opened.
Medical leaders say there should be
at least one bed for each death for
proper tuberculosis CONTROL some say
there should be two beds per death.
There are some 600 deaths per year
here from tuberculosis. When the
adult tuberculosis hospital at Glenn
Dale Is finished, there will be 400 beds
in that building, and with completion
of additions to the Children's Sana-
forum at Glenn Dale that plant will
have 300 beds. There are l25 pa
tients under care at Gallinger Hos
pital.
5000 Cases Held Unreported.
DR.. Rutland contends there are
some 5000 tuberculosis cases here not
reported. The number registered
is about 5000. His proposed tuber-
culosis case-finding campaign, he be-
lieves, will reveal many cases needing
disqualification.
For continuation of the old tuber.

increase in its staff. DR.. Peabody ha;

TICKETS STILL
 PATROL PLANT
Strikers Not Relenting in Demands - Pay Tags
 Almost All In

Through intermittent showers, pickets plodded their way along Mill and Franklin streets this morning, the continued procession symbolizing the resolution of the more than 400 striking employees of the Watertown Undergarment Co.,, not to enter the plant until their demands for restoration of wage cuts have been met. Murray Silverman, local manager of the undergarment concern, said to-day that the moving of unfinished ma terial from the factory would be done this week, and that the fa,,- tory was prepared to close dowI completely.
 With tomorrow as the deadline for the turning in of pay tags, the strikers committee this morning had received more than $50 of the tags. Tomorrow they will turn over to the company the tags of all strikers. |
 The strikers did not hold their usual mass meeting to-day. Union leaders are still confident that the strike will be settled this week. and express conviction that the company is ready to negotiate. Bernard Schub, organizer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, was out of the city to-day.
 Tickets will attempt to prevent any move on the part of the com pany to move goods or machinery from the factory, it was said to- day. The plant was picketed un- til midnight last night and will be picketed until late tonight by the strikers.

Mrs. Cora B. Fox of Winsted is awarded $150 to settle her compen- sation claim against the Fitzgerald Mfg. Co. in stipulation agreement approved today by Commissioner James M. Lynch.

She claimed he con- tracted the disease, a lung condition from his work as buffer in the company's employ, over period of years. The respondent company denied this and set up the defense that the claim for compensation was not made within the two years prescribed by statue limitations, therefore automatically making the claim void.
 Other agreements approved to- day included; James Doyle of 79 Walnut street and the City of Wat erbury, chest injury, $11,.47 week. ly; Fred Adams of Sharon and the Sharon Telephone Co.,, of Sharon, foot injury, $9.15 weekly during disability.

Boys Club Physical Director Mentioned for State Job
Thoms Not Candidate
 For Governorship
Denies Press Story to This Effect Will Work for
 Nomination of Mayor Hayes, He States Today

Representative John D. Thoms today denied emphatically that he is in the field for the democratic gubernatorial nomination and for mally announced that he would work whole-heartedly in the inter- ests of Mayor Frank Hayes of this city for the post at the head of the party ticket when the state convention takes place next year. By his statement Representative Thoms placed himself out in the open in favor of Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Hayes for the gubernatorial nomination and intimated that he would be opposed to Governor Wilbur L. Cross renomination should the latter seek the leading post on the ticket when the demo- cratic conclave takes place.
 Attorney Thoms, who was demo- cratic minority leader of the house of representatives at Hartford dur ing the recently closed session of the legislature, made the denial concerning his reported aspirations for the gubernatorial nomination in answer to a published statement from Hartford yesterday which placed him in the race.
 Not In Race.
 q am absolutely not in the race for governor" declared Represen- tative Thoms. q will work solely to gain the nomination for Mayor Hayes of Waterbury" he added.
 Yesterdays Hartford dispatch also placed in the race Mayor Hayes, Governor Cross and Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone of New Haven. It was claimed in the report that should Governor Cross refuse enter a battle for the nom- ination with Mayor Hayes that he would send in Commissioner Tone as his hand-picked choice for the gubernatorial post.
 Hayes Old Guard Choice.
 That Lieutenant Governor Hayes will be the "old guard" candidate for the gubernatorial nomination is
