SMITH ISLANDERS ARE
SEEING SNAKES NOW

A huge serpent is causing consider.
able uneasiness to Smiths Island resi-.
dents, according to word brought from
the Island famous in Revolutionary
history founded by Capt John Smith
and located about ten miles from
Crisfield.
Capt Wess Tyler, we'll known resi-.
dent of the island, while visiting Girls.
field, closest mainland town related
the story Of the large snake to his
friends.
Capt. Tyler said Residents OF
Smiths Island were again becoming
wary over the enormous serpent which
has once more been seen on the is
land marshes. The snake seems to
make his visit to the inland about
every other year. This has been 60
ing on now for quite a number of
years. Aged residents say the snake
has been seen at intervals during their
span of life"
One island waterman saw the snake
one day last week while he was crab
bling off Fogg's Point Marsh adjoin-
ing Hedges Straits. He said he
heard tremendous noise, sounding
like great whirl wind in the bushes
ahead of him. The bushes were part
ing and he waited expecting to see a
large dog or huge hog come out of
the tall weeds. When he noticed off
to one side of him, the snakes huge
body, larger around than a stovepipe
was going by him making it's way
thru the tall grass"
An island veteran waterman now
80 years old, recalls having seen the
snake. He said he found the snakes
shed or shell some time ago and meas
used it and that it measured 81 spans
in length, which is approximately
more than 81 feet.
According to Capt Tyler, the snake
has been seen on some Of the islands

DELIVERIES OF
THE PONTIAC CAR
ARE INCREASED

Retail deliveries of Pontiac cars in
the United States for the last ten
DAYS of May were 5,776 which is 8
per cent higher than the second ten
day period figure and 1877 per cent
higher than for the same period of
May, 1888, according to D. U. Bath
rick, general sales manager.
Total deliveries for the month of
May were 1890 which is 1928 per cent
above May 1888, and, it was pointed
out by Bathrick, represents the big
gest gain over the corresponding
month last year of any month this
year. Deliveries for the first five
months of 1899 totaled 56.6 per cent
more than for the same months last
year.
Business has been good" said
Bathrick, land I look for continual
ton during June. Other favorable
factors in the present Pontiac situa-
ton include the increasing used car
sales which were the highest in May
since September, 1887. They were
1874 units higher than in April and
5,898 above May of year ago.
inventories of both new and used
cars in dealers stocks have declined
steadily since mid-April, the number
of days supply of used cars in deal
ers' stocks being 1856 on May 81 COM
pared to 1921 days the last of April
and 36.1 days the last of May, 1885,"
For the first time since 1888, Chew
rolet dealers May deliveries of new
passenger CATS and trucks this year
eclipsed those of April. The announce
ment was made at company headquar-
tiers in Detroit, in Connection with the
release of figures showing the months
new deliveries as 77,125 units. This
is 34.8 per cent above the total for
May a year ago, comparison of the
record reveals; and is the second-high
est month since the 1889 models in
PRODUCTION.
The figures show that Chevrolet's
sales in the final 10 days of May ex-
ceeded those for both the preceding
Today periods, and that passenger
cars and trucks both shared in the
advance over corresponding periods
of last month and last year.
Truck deliveries for the month were
1914, as against 11,43S in May, 1888.
Used car sales for the month total
led 157,461, gain of 25.S per cent
over May of last year. The final 10
day period was 6,412 units above the
period Immediately preceding, and H.

best grabbing grounds and crabbers
are reluctant about working at those
points fearing the possible dangers of
the serpent which everyone is at loss
to account for it's presence.
Some legends are that the snake
could have been one that escaped
from a steamer loaded with wild ami
mails being brought to this country.
Others say that they once heard of a
large boat sinking near the Capes load

BOARD TO DECIDE EQUIPMENT USAGE
Isolation Hospital Ques- ton to Be Handled By
 Aldermen

The board of aldermen will decide whether or not the isolation hospi- tai lease will include the use Of equipment at the institution as well as the land and buildings. The land committee, which negotiated the lease with the Connecticut Chil- dren's hospital of New Haven, says that the $500 year fee includes the equipment, while Aldermanic President Patrick Perriello told the finance board late last week that such was not the understanding.
 The aldermen may also take up the authorization of bingo in Wa terbury. A petition asking for such action was filed today by the Clean CTS society of St. Patricks church. The petition carries 293 names. Last week, St. Thomas church Holy Name society filed petition with 300 names.
 The New Haven hospital has al- ready begun to move into the Wa tertown avenue hospital building, and aldermanic approval of the use of equipment on hand Is expected tonight.
 The actual lease is being drawn up by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and will be signed by Mayor Frank Hayes for the city and Mrs. F. Louise Fitzgerald, superin- tenGent, for the hospital.
