'UNDULANT FEVER
 REPORTED HERE.
Rare Disease Traced to Certified Herd Health
 Officer Reports

That rare disease, undulant fever, came to the fore again last night at the meeting of the board of public health when Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, reported that case of the disease here had been traced to milk from a certified, Grade A, herd. The owner, Dr. Godfrey reported, had promised if ever a disease was traced to his herds, that he would install pas teurization equipment.
 Protest Filed
 Although the board had passed an order last year requiring that all milk, even from certified herds, should be pasteurized, this was held up because of the protest of raw milk dealers. The owner of the herd to which the undulant fever case was traced is now installing a pasteurizing plant, the health officer said.
 Members of the board remarked that the incident showed the neces- sity for pasteurization of milk from all herds supplying milk to the city, even those which have been certi- fled.
 pr. Edward H. Kirschbaum re- ported prevalence of a fatal type of diphtheria which has appeared in New Haven and Dr. Godfrey re- marked that no case of this type of the ailment, known as "diphtheria grava", has been noted here. The type of disease was described by Dr. Kirschbaum who said that in most cases the patient contracting this ailment has died within 12 hours. It differs from the ordinary case in that it grows rapidly and the iden- tification of the germ is more dif- ficult for the laboratory in its smear process.
 ImmunizatiOn
 The doctors commented on the necessity of the immunization pro- cess at this time when such 8 type of the disease is prevalent. Every New Haven patient died and the ef- fleets of anti-toxin after they had contracted the ailment were useless. Parents were warned to have chil- dren immunized at once, particular ly those children between the ages of six months to school years.
 Dr. Godfrey will investigate the nature of the disease at New Haven and report back to the board.
 Cases of contagious diseases re- ported in the city during the past month are as follows: Chicken pox 4, diphtheria, 3, gonnorrhea 3, To- bar pneumonia IS with 6 deaths, measles 1, scarlet fever 13, pulmo- nary tuberculosis 3, whooping cough l, syphilis 10, bronchial pneumonia with deaths.

STATE INDUSTRIES
 TO BE PROTECTED
Senator LOnergan Would Guard Textile Mills From
 Unfair Competition

Washington, D. c. March 2-The Federal Trade Commission today assured Senator Lonergan CD Conn that hearings scheduled in Wash ington for March the eighth on unfair competition in the textile industry will not result in any regulations of the Federal Trade Commission adversely affecting the textile plants in Connecticut.
 Fears had been expressed, Senator Lonergan said, that producers of high-grade woolen fabrics would appear at the hearings in an ef- fort to convince the Commission that woolen goods are being adul- erated with loW-grade fibers, and that the trade is being affected. High-grade producers have in- dicated that most of the textile mills are in such financial diff ficulties that they cannot operate successfully unless they do use a great many cheaper fabrics that are often sold to the public as high grade goods. Such contentious, Senator Lonergan said, have raised many controversies in the industry because of the difficulty of deter mining the standards of many inn ported fabrics used in the trade.
 Recognizing this fact, the Federal Commission has informed Senator Lonergan that it's only purpose in calling the meeting in Washington is to help the industry to eliminate more effectively unfair competition. Similar hearings were held for the rayon and linen industries and regulations were adopted which were decidedly helpful to all.

Three Months Period Assigned For Cars In Waterbury, Vicinity
Local Branch Office of Motor Vehicle Department Issues Statement on Retention of Markers;
 22,OOO Cars Registered Here

The office has been swamped by persons turning in their plates. Many of them appear then within a few days to secure new registra- tions. Those who plan to secure new registrations within reasonable time may keep their plates, but their cars, of course, cannot be operated on the highway until the 1888 in- serts for the plates are secured.
 Under the new system set up by Commissioner Michael A. Connor the registration form for each car carries special sections for the semi annual inspection. Places are pro- vided for notations as to the con- dition of the cars equipment and its safety features.
 Busiest Week
 The Waterbury office had the bus fest week in its history from Feb. q through the 28th. There were two days on which more than 5000 ap- plicants jammed the office for regis tration. On several other days in the week, the 5000 mark was closely approached.
 More than 22,OOO registrations were given out by the local office. This figure is considerably higher than last years. Complete figures as to registrations are not yet avail able but are being compiled by Mrs. Bradley and her staff.

ernor Trumbull as regional chair man, effect of the indicated cam- paign of Hugh M. Alcorn, Sr., for either the governorship or sena- torial place is lessened. This, in spite of the tie-up with the Young Republicans through the election of his son to the Mckinley Asso- citation presidency and his apparent agreement with the Young Republi- can factions of Fairfield County and Waterbury.
 Local Angle
 Nor are the mentioned campaigns of William J. Pape, Waterbury pub fisher, for the governorship, or that of Chairman Upson for Congress, helped by Dr. Franks appointment of former Governor Trumbull. The latter is distinctly in the "old guard" ranks and is father-in-l of John Coolidge, son of the late president, who, likewise, was overlooked" at the Young Republican meeting at Waterbury and the dinner at which high pressure was served table d'hOte.

tees plans for the forthcoming at tempt of the Republican party to attain a unified" front.
 Willard For Buckley
 With Clarence G. Willard, secre- tary of the Republican Central State Committee and of the McKin- ley Association of Connecticut, con- ing out recently for Major John Buckley, of Union, "old guard" leader, as against the Bradley Pryor faction, significance grows with the appointment of the New England regional chairman.
 Major Buckley was serving as United States attorney at Hartford during the terms of Governor Trum- bull some years ago. His place, with that of the late Collector of Internal Revenue Robert O. Eaton, was high in the council of the late leader, J. Henry Roraback. Further, it has become apparent that the successor to the late leader, State Chairman Benjamin E. HarWood, is not going to tolerate the factionaliSm which presently sees various city groups being herded into the ranks of the Young Republican movement of the Bradley-Pryor.
 Faction Fight
 Evidence of this factionalism came to a head at the Waterbury dinner and meeting week ago when the Young Republican faction forced through a deal whereby Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., was elected president of the Mckinley Associa- ton. The Waterbury Republicans, currently fused in an inter-party grouping by the Republican Town Chairman J. Warren UpSon, traded on the Waterbury investigation-at- tack now in charge of Hugh M. Alcorn, Sr., the Hartford County states attorney and special prose cutor, obtained by various Republi- can interests, to help the Bradley Pryor movement.
 Soon, thereafter, Secretary Willard came out in support of Major Buck ley, with Chairman Harvard decry- ing the factionalism which Senator Bradley had given categorical denial by his laudation of the HarWood speech at Stamford. This, however, changed the entire status of the Young Republican campaign from Fairfield County, making apparent a definite alignment of "old guard" and new guard, in spite of Com mitteeWoman Katherine Byrne's ap- peal for discarding of these charac- terizations for an attempt at party unity.
 Leaders Arrive
 Failure of Dr. Frank, chief speaker at the dinner at which former Governor Trumbull was not called upon to make an address, to make any definite pronomcement at Waterbury of his committees plans now finds reason. The policy con- mittee chairman was aware of the Young Republican factionalism at the Waterbury affair before his ar rival here and was not ready to commit the National Republican Committee to the Connecticut Young Republican Faction.

Deputy Coroner Smyth sad the operation was performed Feb. 12 at Mrs. DeVito' apartment.
 Mrs. Lippke and Mrs. DeVito were arrested on coroner's warrants while the young woman law seriously ill at the hospital. They were ques- toned bl Deputy Coroner Smyth while he was conducting his inquest.
