NO DEFENSE MADE BY SUPT. SCRIBNER Man Injured by Automobile Ex plains Nature of Wounds to Judge Wheeler No defense was entered in the suit of Antonio Mastroionni against Fred erick Scribner. superintendent of the Royal Equipment Co.. heard yesterday before Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Su perior court. The defendant was not represented in any way, not even by counsel. The suit grew out of an au tomobile accident on the evening of Nv. 7 last when the plaintiff was in jured by the defendant's machine. The plaintiff explained to the court that while he was in Main street cross ing Arch street, the car of the defend ant turned, to the left, ran into him, and dragged him for a distance of 50 feet. If Mr. Scribner had kept to the right of the road the plaintiff would not have been hit. As a result of the mixuip, the plaintiff sustained a broken collar blade and several bruises and has been in the Bridgeport hos pital for two months. Ir. Arthur 'Scrimgeour of the Bridgeport hospital staff explained to the court that the injuries to Mastroionni are of a per manent nature. Attorney Henry Shannon, who rep resented the plaintiff, was asked by the court to file a statement of further facts as to a permanent injury, and also the law on the matter.

BICYCLE SUNDRIES Jaycox Rubber Co. 1042 MAIN ST. HEAD CANNON ST. I SAY PENNA ROAD HAS ONE-FOURTH OF NJ. STOCK Director Says it Wishes to be on a Level With the New York Central That the Pennsylvania railroad has a direct interest in not less than a fourth of the outstanding stock of the New Haven railroad, is the reported statement of an influential man in that company, that the Penna seeks the ap pointment of two directors to the New Haven's board instead of one and will get Ihe desired representation and that the recent acquisition of New Haven stock was made to put the Pennsylva nia on a level as to stock holdings and representation with the New York Central, were some of the sidelights thrown on this story by a well inform ed railroad man today. One of the directors of the New Ha ven company is authority for the state ment that the Pennsylvania's sole idea in buying up this stock was to put the company on a par with the Central. These two lines cover the New Haven and the business it can throw their way. The fact that it is operated in the big manufacturing section of the country, makes the New Haven's bus iness important to the other lines. The Central and the American express, owned by the Central, with the Mutual Life, have been the three largest hold ers of New Haven stock. The Central of course dominated the holdings of the express company and therefore has now three representatives on the New Haven board. The three Central di rectors who are in the New Haven directorate include William W. Rocke feller and J. Pierpont Morgan, who, in financial circles is said to regard the New Haven Company as his pet project. The report that T. DeWitt Cuyler a director of the Pennsylvania, would be one of the two men to represent that company on the New Haven's board, was well received in railroad circles today. Mr. Cuyler is well known in university circles in this city, being a graduate of Yale with the class of 1874, and he scarcely ever missed any of the university athletic events held in this city and the boat race at New London. Mr. Cuyler would appear for the financial end of the Pennsylvania and it is the belief here that the other man would likely be one of the opera ing officials and by an officer of the New Haven, who sits close to the throne, the name of Samuel Rea and Charles E. Pough, both vice presi dents of the Pennsylvania, were men tioned todav. While the books of the New Ha ven company show the Pennsylvania to hold only about $6,000,000 of the company's stock; it is generally be lieyed by the railroad people that the Pennsylvania through other concerns has a very much larger ownership of New Haven securities. While the Cen tral holds, only so many share In its own name, it has voting control of the American Express shares and in the same way the Penna controls stock to the amount stated through other concerns. There are many reasons wy the Pennsylvania should seek further in sight in the New Haven's affairs. One of the most important of -these that the two lines will have physicftl con nection when the New York connect ing railway is completed, but that the Penna now or in the near future will dominate or control the New Haven is ridiculed by President Mellea.

PERILS THAT TRAVEL IN PAPER CURRENCY FOUNJMT YALE Prof. Hildrich Finds an Average of 142,000 Bacteria on Soi!d Dollar Bills Though Some Have Lost Their Virulence "Paper money, as an avenue by which disease can be transmitted has been an object of suspicion for some time," says The Medical Record. "In deed, this particular form of exchange has been shown more or less eonclu sively, to be under favoring conditions an actual menace to the health of the community. ."Hilditeh of the Sheffield laboratory of bacteriology and hygiene, Yale uni versity and Park of the Research lab oratory of the board of health of New York, have demonstrated that dirty paper money is "similar to the paper and rags and capable of carrying liv ing tubercle and diptheria bacilli for some days or longer. " "Hilditch, however, does not regard the danger as very great. He ob tained twenty-four bills, the very dir tiest he was able to procure, and sub jected them to a minute examination, the outcome being that he: found the average number of bacteria in each of twenty-one bills to be 142,000. Fur ther, it was established by subsequent experiments that these organisms were not in possession of their full viru lence. The publication of these re sults was not to create a feeling of confidence in the comparative harm lessness of the dirtiest paper money, or, at least, to seem ta demonstrate that as sources for spreading infection such was not greatly to be feared. "In a recent issue of The Popular Science Monthly, A. Cressy Morrison writes to point out that the menace of paper money must not be wholly judged from the virulence or the na ture of the germs discovered. He per tinently draws attention to the fact that the infection of drinking water with the germs of typhoid fever should not estimated from the number of the bacilli typhosi found, for if that were the case water would be seldom condemned, and those bacilli are sel dom discovered. "In brief, Morrison contends and it appears contends with justice, that it is not so much the question of viru lence or even of the nature of the organisms found on paper money, but that experiments have established that money is a medium of bacterial com munciation from one indivdiual to another. In order, therefore, to elu cidate the matter, paper money known to have been exposed to contamina tion by highly infectious organisms should be examined by scientific ex perts. It has been ascertained that money can be infected by handling; it has also been shown that the germs of diptheria and tuberculosis may live on infected bills for several days. Morrison says "It seems but a step, then, to the final demonstration of the actual transmission of these and sim ilar diseases by money in circulation, and to the prevention of such spread of disease by the proper measure to eradicate such possibilities.' 'There is little doubt that disease is spread in ways that we know not, men in these times of advanced re search. If paper money does spread disease, though but to an extremely small extent this is reason sufficient to insist upon the more rapid with drawal from circulation of soiled bills and the issuing of new and clean notes. "The results of more minute and ex haustive investigations into the ques tion of infected paper money as a means of spreading disease should be interesting and valuable." Sons and Daughters of Old New Hampshire Prepare t& Organize "The New Hampshire Club of Bridgeport," is the name of a new social organization that was success fully started last night at an enthuis- astic meeting of natives of New Hampshire held at the home of Dr. C. H. Sprague, 168 West Liberty street, when a tentative organization was formed and a committee was ap pointed to report a constitution and by-laws at a meeting to be held at the same place Thursday, June 9. Dr. C. H. Sprague was chosen chairman and Mrs. Sprague, secre tary. The committee appointed to drew up a constitution and by-laws is composed of . Mrs. W. B. Cogswell, Stratford, Wilbur F. Burns, E. L.. French, Miss S. Belle Blackstone and John A. L. Julian. The tone of the remarks of those participating in the discussion was to the effect that the club will be very democratic, the same as the people of that state are, that the member ship will not be limited to those ac tually born there but will include those married to natives of the state and also those who have lived there a number of years and that probably two big meetings a year will be held, one in the summer at some shore re sort chiefly for the purpose of pro moting .sociability among the mem bers, and one in the winter to be ad dressed by prominent New Hamp shire men or women. Sociability among people who still cherish a great love for the state of their birth will be the keynote of the organiza tion, all bearing in mind that while New Hampshire is a small state it has produced some big men. .

VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION ASKS GREATER SUPPORT Demand Upon the Resources of Organization Growing Faster Than its Means I The members of the Visiting Nurse Association are well pleased with the mass meeting held at the City Hall a few weeks ago, because of the work which the members are doing for the sick poor of the city was brought for cibly to the public mind. The mem bers of the association desire to ex press their appreciation through the Farmer to Mayor Buckingham, who gave them the use of the City Hall chamber for the meeting, and desire also to thank those who responded to their appeals for aid. As the association becomes better known to the poorer "people of the city, that worthy class is already beginning to appreciate the efforts in their be half. More cases of sickness are call ed each day to the attention of the association. These added calls must be attended to,, thereby increasing the expenditures of the association. So far the proceeds have grown with the work accomplished, but the members know and realize that much more erood can be done if the treasury' is in a better way. The salary of a visiting nurse, medicines, care of the sick and needy, food and clothing are a source of drain on the finances. Especially at this time of the year is there more sickness prevail ent, and more so in this city than in any other city of the State. The winter months are noted for their many cases of coughs and colds, but it is the spring days when weather conditions are so changeable that serious sicknesses ue most common. Each week the visit ing nurse, assisted by nurses who oc casionally give their spare time to the association, report new cases that need attention. At the most the visiting nurse does what she can in each case she is called in to attend, but it is al most an impossibility to give each case the time that it requires. It has been figured out that the visiting nurse makes about eight or nine visits a day, about an hour to each visit. It is for this reason that enough ground cannot be covered by one nurse that the as sociation is especialy desirous of add ing another nurse. Another nurse is an impossibility unless the funds of the association are in such a way to maintain one. Miss Schoots of the Henry Street Settlement in New York, who spoke at the mass meeting, told of the various ways in which the nurses are main tained by the people of the metropolis; that a number of the charitable socie ties pay the salary of a nurse; then again clubs give musicals and thea tricals, in this wy maintaining a nurse for a year or less. The Metro politan Life Insurance Co. in New York pays the salaries of seven nurses who are under the direction of the Vis iting Nurses' Association. It is not impossible for a number of our social or charitable organizations in this way, or even some public spirited citizen, to provide for a nurse for even a few months of the year at least.

STRANGE MOTHER FLINGS SOBBING CHILD FROM HER Boy of 14 Sentenced to Reform School Refused Even Good-bye Kiss. "Too Fresh," Says Mother. "Kiss me good-bye, mamma, Just once," pleaded little Emil Potts, aged 14, when the court officers were pre paring to lead him from the prison ers' pen of the city court back Into a cell today, after Judge Foster had ordered him committed to the State Reform school in Meriden until he is 21 years old. The mother turned away without a tear, and winked to the bystanders, belittling the youngster's plea. The child broke from the court of ficers' grasp and flung himself upon his mother's bosom, sobbing as if his little heart would break. Still the mother showed no sympathy, and im patiently she tore the embracing arms of her child from her neck and push ed him away. "I want to go home with papa and you," sobbed the child, tears stream ing down his cheeks in evidence of belated penitence for his wrong do ing. "It's a good thing for her Judge Foster is not around,'" said one of the court officials, who knew of the court's strongly defined notions of maternal duties. Mrs. Potts swept out of the court room paying no further heed to the cries of the little convict, refusing him even a farewell liss. The lad was brought to police headquarters last night as an incor rigible. His mother testified without emotion that he had lost 15 jobs dur ing the year. She said the child was too fresh. King Christian's Odd Find. King Christian of Denmark, while stopping at his hunting lodge in the forest chanced to see a queer white house on the road to Copenhagen, up on inquiry he learned that the house had been built by some enterprising American physician and contained baths which were said to work won ders. It was like the King to do as he pleased. In this instance it pleased him to gratify his curiosity he visited the small white house and explored it thoroughly, then he took one of the wonder looking baths, so greatly was he delighted with the fcath and its effects that he took similar one repeatedly until his aches and pains were in a fair way of losing themselves in the old forest.
