Parents must call in physicians early in the course of the disease in order that proper preventive measures and treatment of the diphthe ria case can be carried out by using diphtheria antitoxin early in the sick ness. Measures used in combating diphthe ria are: 1. . Diphtheria antitoxin must be giv en early, and the first dose must be a reasonably large one to cure diphthe ria. 2. Diphtheria antitoxin .

Both were released under bonds of $100 each for appearance in the city court this (Wednesday) morning to answer t ocharges o , musing- to ooeyi an officer." This was the first of. a series of open air "challenge" meetings arranged for Connecticut cities under the. auspices of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Socialist party. Expectant Crowd Awaits Arrest The arrest of Mrs. Evans and Mr. r.oardman was one of the most sensation ; in the annals of Norwich police cir- A surging crowd estimated at a tli-usand clamored and pushed their way down Ferry street to the automobile from which Mrs. Evans started to make her address on "Freedom of Speech. The fact that the Socialist Party intend ed to hold the meeting in defiance of Mayor Lerou's order had gained wide publicity anl long before 8 o'clock the hour set for the meeting, the crowd began to gather. Ferry street and part of Main street was a mass of expectant humanity that had gathered to see the fireworks. Sidewalk traffic was block ed.. Men. women and children eagerly awaited the arrival of the woman speaker. Half a dozen times there were cries of "here she is '." "There's Boardman." and then the crowd would clamor, and push and strain their necks to get' a glimpse of the woman who intended open ly to defy the mayor. A minute or two after 8 oclock Mrs. Evans made her appearance escorted by Mr. Boardman. The crowd broke into cries of "She is here," "Make way there," "Let her through." After considerable difficulty-Mrs. Ev ans and Mr. Boardman succeeded in reaching . Mr. Boardman's automobile which had been parked on Ferry street. Mrs. Evans took a seat in the machine and a few minutes later arose to speak. "I am one of the old fashioned Amer ican women." said Mrs. Evans. "I be lieve in the Declaration of Independence and I believe the Constitution of ' the United States guarantees free speech." Police Give Orders At this point. Police Serg nt John H. Kane who was standing near the ma chine with Officer Daniel O'Neil, said to Mrs. Evans. "You will have to stop." "Very well," said Mrs. Evans to the officer and to the crowd, "this meeting it adjourned to Stelner's hall." Albert T.

"No," said Sergeant Kane. ertions of ' the government failed to un earth evidence to sustain its claim. Among the more than 60.000 aliens listed as suspect, not a single deed of violence, either contemplated or executed was shown. Mrs. Evans then referred to her own exexperience at Lawrence during the last strike, when, she said, onicers of the 'law had assaulted and clubbed strikers who did not resist arrest, and when these open breaches of the law by officers were condoned by the courts and by public opinion of those classed as the "best peo ple." Mrs. Evans also told of several of her experiences in connection with the trials of radicals in Boston. The meeting came to a close about 9:15 o'clock. Statement by J. I., Spirak After the meeting J. L. Spivak, repre senting the American Civil Liberties Union,, under whose, auspices . the free speech test meeting was held in con junction with the socialist party, issued me following statement: The arreste of Mrs. Glendower Evans for attempting to exercise her richts as an American citizen, guaranteed to her by the Constitution ot the United States, only proves how far autocracy can go if it is not checked in time. The autocratic atlempt of Mayor Lerou to run Norwich in a high-handed manner, contrary to the established laws of the State of Connec ticut and the United States of America, will be tested out in the courts by Mrs. Evans' case. The excuse offered by May or Lerou that the city officials have a perfect right to govern the streets is ae ceeded. But the city officials seem to for get that they do not ave the slightest right to turn the Constitution into a scrap of paper. "The sympathy with whicji the citizens of Norwich viewed the free speech test is eloquently testified to by the record breaking crowd which gathered to hear Mrs. Evans speak and later went to Steiner's hall, to hear what the mavor arbitrarily decreed they shall not hear. The gauntlet has been thrown down by ine mayor in refusing to permit the c?n stitutlonal rights of free spech and peaceableassemlilage. It has been taken up by true Amer'cans and lovers of lib erty that we believe are in the vast ma jority in Norwich and it will be tested out in the courts of the city, and if nec- sary of the state and nation 'The efforts of certain off cials to intro duce a reign of czarism will be stopaed. and the principles of liberty upon which our country was founded re-establishd."

GO i PAST HIGH WATER MARK In the forty-ninth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs two more pens, both Leghorns, have passed the high water mark. This makes a total of five pens that have laid 2,000 eggs or more to date. In the 1914 contest only two pens had passed the high-water mark at the end of the forty-ninth week. Their respective production was 2,038 and 2,011 eggs. In 1915 none of the 100 pens had reached the 2.000 mark at the end of the forty-ninth week. In the 1917 contest only two pons had been able to reach an average of 200 eggs per hen. These pens laid 2035 and 2075 re spectively. In the 1918 contest two more pens were able to repeat the perform ance by laying 2,071 and 2,230 eggs. In the 1919 contest no pens had reached the high-water mark. In the present contest Jules F. Francais' pen of Barred riymQUin nocKS irom neaiaampiun Boach, L. I., has a total of 2.150, Oneck Farm's Barred Plymouth Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I. has laid 2.- 087. Pinechest Orchard's Rhode Island Reds from Groton, Mass.. has a total of 2.05a and two pens of White Leghorns owned by E. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hilt Pa., and Hollywood Farm. Hollywood, Wash., have a total of 2.000 eggs each. Oneck Farm's Barred Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I. were first with a yield of 46 eggs. Pinechest Or chard's Rhode Island Reds from Groton. Mass.. were second with 40 eggs. W. Ed gar Baker's pen of Leghorns made third place with a lay of 39 eggs. A pen of White Rocks owned by Chickatawbut Farm, Canton, Mass.. and a pen of White Leghorns owned by A. P. Robin son, Calverton, N. Y., both tied for fourth place with 38 eggs each. The total for all pens was 2.0S3 eggs or a yield of 29.4 per cent. One of the outstanding features of the present contest is that a Barred Ply mouth Rock owned by Rock Rose Farm, Katonah, N. T.. laid 77 eggs in 77 days. If this hen had laid one more day she would have laid 104 eggs in 104 davs. Her record however, surpasses a White Leghorn and a Salmon Eavorelle which previously held the record with 64 eggs in 64 days.

"You come with me," said the officer to Mrs .Evans and .to Mr. Boardman, "You come too." "What for?" asked Mr. Boardman. "For refusing to move your machine," was the answer. Both were taken to police headquarters by the officers, the crowd following, and the charge entered against their names on the blotter was 'refusing to obey an officer.' Bonds were fixed at $100 each and were furnished by Aaron Goldblatt.

Finishes Speech In Hall As soon as they were released under bonds they headed directly for Steiner's hall, trailed by the crowd that had fol lowed them to police headquarters, and there Mrs. Evans completed the speech she started to make on Ferry street. The hall was crowded to capacity with men, women and children, but before Mrs. Evans bad completed her address the crowd had thinned down to same extent when they decided that the unusual ex citement of the evening was over. REPUBLICAN BANNER UNFURLED ON MAIN STREET LAST NIGHT In the presence of a crowd estimated at 2,000, a republican banner with large pictures of Senator Harding and Gov ernor Coolidge was flung to the breeze at 7.30 o'clock Tuesday evening by the re publican town-committee. Tubbs' Military band of 20 pieces gave a short parade through Main street and Franklin square at 7 o'clock and then drew up in front of the Main street en trance to the Wauregan hotel, where they gave a concert program of patriotic airs. At 7.30 o'clock the band struck up The Star Spangled Banner. and the republican banner slowly unfurled. The banner is suspended above the street between the Wauregan hotel and the Boston store. There was no speaking, as Mayor H. M. Lerou has prohibited any open air po litical meetings. Chairman Henry H. Fet tis and members of the republican town committee, members of the city govern ment and a large number of the town's leading republicans were present at the banner raising.

Invites Mayor's Stenographer to Seat Mr. Boardman called the meeting to gether and before introducing Mrs. Ev ans said he understood that Mayor Le rou had secured a stenographer to take Mrs. Evans' address and he extended the mayor's stenographer to use a desk on the platform. The mayor's stenographer promptly ac cepted the invitation and took-fhe prof fered seat amidst applause from the crowd. Mrs. Evans Speaks Mrs. Evans then made her address, speaking on the topic "Free Sneech " I cam down to Norwich to speak at the invitation of a local committee," said Mrs. Evans. ""I am one of the old fash ioned Americans who believe in the fun damentals of our institutions as laid down by our fathers.' I believe In the Declaration of. Independence and in the constitutional guarantees of free speech, free press and free assemblage. I have come down here to make a protest and to issue a challenge. We are living in abnormal conditions I raise the question whether disturbing events are allayed or- whether they are stimulated by denial of free speech. I believe that suppression of sneech em phasizes and stimulates the signs of the times' that fill people with anxiety. Free speech itself is the thing that will give us the cure. After a brief discussion on "rights" Mrs. Evans went on to say, I don't want to change the government or overthrow the government. Where are your rights if a court or legislature is going to de cide whether your opinions are good or wnetner tney are harmful. vvhat I claim is the rieht of the neoDle to voice thetr opinions. If the majority of the people fool that the government is all right, then it stays that way. But the minority should have the right to ar gue their opinions. v " I claim.that in this unrest that it is the government itself that has brought the in stitutions of the government into dis credit. I say that in many instances the government itself has led the way In law breaking and lawlessness. 'This may seem a rash statement. As my authority I refer you to a report signed by twelve reputable lawyers, among them Rocoe Pound, Dean of the Harvard Law school, relating to what are entitled the Illegal Practices of the United States Department of Justice. "From this document It Is proved be yond . a preadventure that the United States Department of Jutice in Its deal in with aliens under suspicion of being com munists, committed the grossest affronts to every principle of American constitu tional liberties. Persons were arreted and Imprisoned and tried without due process of law. To auote. the words of band played a number of patriotic selec tions. Joseph W. Carlevale. director of the Americanization Institute was the speaker of the evening. His address, though brief, was interesting. In part he said: Today is indeed a great dav for it Is Columbus Day. Today millions of neoDle have been thinking about Columbus and tne Italians should be more than glad oecause it was- Italy that produced hi America has now rrown to be the greatest country of the world. Columbus day is becoming a national holiday and I am glad that the Italians of Norwich have gotten up this parade as a gratitude to the great discovers. For it was he who sailed on. day after day, across the trackless ocean ; his men begged him to turn back, but he would not and through faith and cour age he arrived at the promised land. Had he no ambition, no faith, no aim, had he remained with his father in the trade ci wool carder, surely he would have never discovered this continent. But he was not conservative but progressive, and be cause of those sterling qualities of his he accomplished what no other man dared.
