wich, to escape pursuit from local policemen who had discovered him Nolan followed his leap from the lofty wall by crawling under a stand- ing railroad train near the Union station and then apparently hop ping" a moving train which was passing.
 Nolan, sought all over the state since his escape from the state hos pital, was spotted by detectives this morning at 9:30 o'clock while sitting on bench in Library park, near the band stand. Lieut.. Detectives Connie Shanahan and William Foley started to stroll over through the park, while Lieut.. Detective Jo- seph Bendler and Sergt. Barney Burns went down the sidewalk on Grand street.
 When Nolan saw the detectives approaching he jumped over the park wall and ran across Meadow street, Apparently unhurt in the leap, he crawled under a standing train and got on to a track along which train was passing. When the police got there he was gone, and they theorized that he somehow managed to get aboard the moving train to make his escape.

Only Three Smallpox
 Cases Here Since '28
Last Report of Disease Here, March 5,l020; United
 States Record for 1929 Viewed as DepIOrabIe

Only three cases of smallpox have been reported in Waterbury withirs a period of eight years, according to the records of the local health department. Incidentally the three cases were discovered here in 1929. The last case to be called to the attention of the local health au- thorities was on March 5, 1929. Dur ing the years of 1036-37, T,81S cases in the United States, a sad com. mentary on preventive efforts, ac- cording to experts.
 New York, July 12--Although sev- eral states have been entirely free from smallpox for a number of years the United States as whole has one of the highest smallpox sick ness rates in the civilized world, acc cording to statisticians of the Metro politan Life Insurance comptny. With the 7813 cases reported in 1886 by 47 states and the district of Columbia only slightly under the 1885 figure, and with 8 total of 650, 0,000 cases recorded during the IT years, 1920-1936, the smallpox situa- tion is described by the statisticiarls as disgraceful for a country that boasts of leading in the control of preventable diseases.
 Mild In Character
 Two bright spots, however, stand out in the portrayal of smallpox conditions. The disease continues to be mild in character with the death rate exceedingly low, for among the more than 7800 cases reported in the coutnry last year, there were only 8, deaths, 8 case fatality rate of 0.42 per cent or one death in every 237 cases. Also, the disease has been practically eliminated from eight states and the District of Columbia. In the District of Columbia, only one case has been reported in eight years, while there has not been a single smallpox case reported in Rhode Island since 1927, in New Jersey since 1881, nor in Massachu- sets or Pennsylvania for four years. Delaware and Maryland have each reported one case since 1929, while Maine has had only two since 1920, and New Hampshire two since 1881.
 As in previous years. smallpox was not prevalent in 1886 in the north central states, the mountain states, and on the Pacific coast, while there were comparatively few cases in the states bordering on the Atlantic ocean and in the south- east.
 Montana Highest
 In proportion to population, Mon- tana had the highest smallpox in- cinedne in 1886, the cases having numbered 762 in population of 92,000. Wyoming. with a popula. ton less than 235, 900 and POP cases. Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska each reported more than TOO cases. In other words per cent of the popu- lation of the United States, the statisticians explain. registered 5l per cent of the total number of smallpox cases reported last year.
 In New York city. where vaccina- ton of al minors is compulsory, no smallpox case has been reported since 1892 and only IT during the last 10 years. In cities where the

No More Free Laboratory Work for Hospitals, DOc- tOrs-Cut in Appropriations Necessitates Decision

A policy of entrenchment found necessary by limited appropriations has been made effective by the State Department of Health. The curtail- ment will affect the departments laboratory work. Hospitals, state in- stitutionS and physicians will find it necessary to revise their plans in the future. Commissioner of Health Stanley H. Osborn declares the cur- tailment is absolutely necessary.
 A number of services previously available to physicians, hospitals, state institutios and health officers, all without charge, have been dis continued. They will be undertaken again, Dr. Osborn said, only when funds appropriated to the depart nnent are adequate again for furn- 1shing them.

Commissioner Osborn estimated. The departments action will force some of the work previously done by the state laboratory into the laboratories of hospitals, state institutions and private bacteriologistS and chemists.
 In the last 12 years the work of the state laboratory has increased 225 per cent. At the same time the personnel has increased 125 per cent. Appropriations for the next two years are approximately what the laboratory had for the past two years, but the commissioner sadi the load had become so great that the retrenchment became essential.
 The laboratory will still accept and test all blood samples sub- mitted for syphilis examinations under the marriage law. It will TO longer accept syphilis specimens col lected at any hospital that main- tains laboratory.
 Only Diagnoses
 It has reduced its pneumonia testing work, cutting out all tests made merely to confirm diagnosis made in another laboratory, and otherwise reducing the number of samples it wall accept.
 It has discontinued gonorrhea tests for hospitals or state institu- tionS where laboratories are main- tained, such as at the Staet Farm for Women.
 The laboratory has stopped ani- mathematician tests for tubercu- loSis, frequentlyq demanded by phy- Sicians.
 It has discontinued examinations of nose and throat cultures for hemolytic streptococci except when the yare tawen by the Bureau of Preventable Diseases. Several other special tests, made at the request of physicians also have been dropped.
 Curtailed also is the laboratorys work with milk, water and frozen dessert samples. Standard plate counts on water samples are fbeing dropped andl the laboratory will rely on colon-aerogenes tests for passing on the safety of water SUD- plies. Chemical examinations of water samples not strictly connected with public health have been dis continued. Health officers are be- ing asked to request water examin- ations only when the findings will have definite public health import ance. Individuals who want the water used at their homes examined will be referred to other laboratories approved by the department.
 No Dessert!
 Milk and frozen dessert tests, done mainly for the Dairy and Food Department, have been limited in number. The Dairy and Food De- partment will carry on additional examinations at its own small lab- oratory in the State Office build- ing.
 All services rendered by the lab- oratory are free, but the average cost to the state for each sample examined Is about 59 cents,Dr Os- born said. He said it was necessary to reduce the work if the service was to be anywhere near as eff:- cient" as in the past.

FATHER STEPHENS
 FORUM. SPEAKER
Former Waterbury Priest Speaks With Rabbi, Min-
 ister on Morals
Special to the Democrat)

Charlottesville, Va, July 12-Rev. Edward L. Stephens, a native of Waterbury, Conn, was the main speaker at vesper service yesterday which opened the final sessions of the University of Virginia's Insti- tute of Public Affairs. The institute was opened last Sunday night by a Protestant clergyman, and addressed yesterday by rabbi, in accordance with the traditional policy to pro- vide an open forum for all faiths and all schools of political thought.
 Father Stephens said in part:
 We have yearned for peace, we have prayed for peace, we have planned for peace, we have talked for peace," Dr. Stephens said, but always we have been unwilling, or at least not ready, to pay the price for peace, and that price, which bears the stamp of Heaven, is good will.
 And why do we not wish to pay the price for peace? Because pride in our nationalities, in our race, in our own achievements, either as individuals or commonwealthS, has blinded us to sorry giddiness through which we have lost our sense of proportion and our ball. ance." n
 The session were directed during the past week by Robert McElroy, formerly of Princeton and now Harmsworth Professor of American history at Oxford; the Rev. Henry W. Mclaughlin of Richmond, and by Dr. George Rowland Cox, direc- tor of the er-American Center of George Washington University.
 
 Father Stephens was educated both in the North End and Wash- ington Hill sections of Waterbury. Prior to commencing his studies for the priesthood he successfully passed both the Connecticut and New York bar exa an,inations
