Another blow had been schuitss death at gangster hands the year before. After calling on the dying Schultz, Davis temporarily dropped from sight, Friends said he intend- cd leaving criminal law to begin civil practice, perhaps in Boston, Dewey says Davis merely "car- ried on" with schultz's old mob. Whatever Davis plan, 1t fold- ed up with his indictment in July, 1887, on i2 counts involving lot- tery law violations result of investigations by Chief Assistant Jacob J. Rosenblum and Charles P. Grimes, at Dewey's direction. Now a fugitive, with e 96,OO0 reward offered for his capture, Davis has been hounded from state to state for months. Several times he eluded officers with only @ few hours margin of safety But, with the case set and 200 witnesses ready to testify against him and his co-defendants, the search was pushed.

 Flo was admitted to tho bar In 1927, marked for success. But after three years, routine practice began to pail. And of his own voiition, ho moved Into the mora sinister second phase Of his life.
 It was about 1880, according to his own testimony in c later racket probe, that ho found "gen- erap practice unsatisfactory and, at barely 27, began to specialize In defending policy cases.
 Within c few months, Davis had changed from just c promising youngSter" to c leading lawyer in his now field. one reason was that ho was keen and knew his law. Another reason was that he put on c big show in court. Small, nerVously active, fashionably dAp- DOT, round-lipped and with black, slick hair, he bounced around the court pounded tables, made noise.

Connecticut increased It's number of farm dwellings having electric light and power service during the first six months ot 1887 to c greater extent than any other New Eng land state, and brought the total number of electrified farms In the state to Q figure of le,S40, according to statistics compiled by the Edison Electric Institute. Connecticut's net gain in electrified farms for the first half of this year was eSA,
 Fourth Place
 By virtue of the recent extensions of service, Connecticut advanced to fourth place among the states in the matter of rural eleotrification, being topped only by Rhode Island, Cali fornia and New Hampshire in the percentage of Its farms now enjoy Ing power and light service. As of June 90, 1887, 04.A per cent of Con- necticut's SS,0Ae farms having occu- pied dwellings were receiving such service. The percentage of farm identification for the New England states as Q group on that date was 64.7, while the percentage for the United States was l7.6 per cent, both figures by comparison serving to show the degree to which exten- sion of power Into rural areas has progressed in Connecticut.
 Public service companies, and in some cases municipal departments in this State have brought electric power and light to farm customers In increasing numbers each year ever since i02A when the first steps

were taken to make use of electricity on the farm a reality in spite of the fact that 1t required expensive line extensions into territories where customers were few and scattered. The fact that nelghbor- ing Rhode Island has e percentage of rural electrihcation greater than that of Connecticut does not detract in the least frcm the picture ot progress made by this state, since Rhode Island has only 4,i26 farms having occupied dwellings as com. pared with Connecticut's 90,04e.
 Welcome Chance
 With respect to farm eleetritica- ton, Q recent statement by 0. W, Kellogg, president of the Edison Electric Institute reveals that farm CTS in the New England and the Far Western states jump at tho advantage of employing electric ser- vice much more quickly than in other parts of the country. Despite the long promotion of farm cleo. trihcation by light and power com panies and the more recent efforts of the government in this field, 20 per cent of the farm homes access ible to electric power lines have not taken service, according to MT Kellogg. But his statement, he pointed out, docs not apply to Con- neeticut or the other New England states where more than 90 per cent of the farmers to whom the util- ities have made electricity available are now taking service.

Parasites ThriVeHere
Doctor Tells Forum

In all probability you, being a
human being. are serving as a
home for parasites. They may be
pinworms, tapeworms, trichina or
hookworms, but most people have
them, one kind or another, at some
time or another.
The authority for this asser.
tion is DR.. Maurice Hall, of the Ma
tional Institute of Health in the
Public Health Service. who yeSter
day afternoon told the National
Educational Forum of the many
troubles-from slight itching to
death-that beset the human
body from parasitic sources.
For instance. he said at least
80 to 40 per cent of the people
in Washington have pinworms
and when you have pinworms
you're likely to be a mobilization
cantonment for one of their
armies. DR.. Hall said he found
1000 in the body of a boy here
recently and that in Central
America the body of a soldier
yielded $500 of the little trouble
makers.
The cure is certain and not
difficult, said DR.. Hall, but many
sufferers, particularly those in
slum environments, are not i'm
pressed sufficient to want to
be rid of them and, as a Conse-
quence, pass on the infection to
others.
He told of trichina that drives
like a needle into the center of
muscle alton and there

Senator Borah of Idaho de-
clared that in his opinion any ar
