Pipe line Agreed
On for State Camp
Towns Withdraw Objections When
Plans are Modified, but State
Board of Health is not Satisfied.
Plans for the improved sanitation of
the state military camp ground at
Nlantic, that provide for a sewer sys-
tem. were modified Saturday. and with
the exception of one feature the orig-
lnal scheme will be carried out. A com-
mittee representing the state board of
health. consisting of 'l‘. ll. McKenzie.
of Soutbiugton; A. W. Phillips. of Der-
by, and Dr. Joseph H. 'l‘owusend, of
New Haven. went to Niantlc and met
Adjutant General Cole, Colonel Mor-
gan. assistant (llllll'lt‘i'nlflrilell' general.
and Dr. Hart. health officer of Nlantic.
The officials inspected the locality. and
considered the plan prepared by City
Engineer Crandull. of New London. for
the draining of the camp.
There were protests made by the
health officers of Niantlc and Water-
ford against the drnlnuge of all sew-
age from the camp Itito the Nluntic
river. the health authorities claiming
that if this was done the oysters culti-
vated in Nlantic river and bay would
be contaminated.
At the conference a plan was sub-
mittsd to carry into the river all
drainage excepting from the latrines.
and when this was suggested the
Niantlc and Waterford authorities
withdrew their objections. It was de-
cided to proceed with this plan. The
proposed system will cost between $7,-
IIUO and Saudi), It will include the lay-
ing of an elghtdncli vitrified drain pipe
extending from the right flank of the
camp ground to the left fia k. in the
roar. between the mess hous and the
kitchens. and will carry off the waste
from the kitchens only, At the left
flank of the camp the pipe will take
a southerly course and will cross the
parade and run under the seacoast bat.
tery to the Nlantic river. where an
iron pipe eight inches in diameter will
carry the sewage about 400 feet out
Into the river in the direction of the
bay. A stand tank with a capacity for
52.000 gallons of water will be erected.
furnishing an abundant supply and
he adway to keep the pipe well dubbed.
The tank will also furnish water- for a
number of fire plugs to .be distributed
along the line of mess houses and
stables, Ill wooden buildings. to be
used in case of fire. The modified plans
will improve the sanitary conditions of
the camp. but will not come up to the
recommendations of the state board of
health. which in a.report made last
August complained of the unsanitary
condition of the latrines.
It is intended to begin work on the
sewer system early In the spring.
PROPOSED NEW INDUSTRY.
Satisfactory progress ls being made
in the negotiations for the location in
South Norwalk of the plant of th-
Printers' and Publishers' Engraving
Company, of Fifth avenue, New York
city. If present plans are carried out.
and there .is every reason to believe
that they will be. a new plant is to be
erected on a site which has been se-
lected on property extending from

business. The building will be about
75 x 125 feet, one and two stories high.

mast gifted composers. Possessed of
marked originality the spirit of mel~
ody and fecundity of ideas his work
has great character.
Indian music has lately attracted his
attention and his enthusiasm over the
wealth of tonelore there contained has
been productive of the most happy re-
sults. His development and harmoni-
zations of the manv Indian songs he

ing to Mr. Loomis' music. vivid pic-

striigglo with Officer Thomas Leather—

Selectman Samuel Lyrics was rioti-
lied Saturday by one of liiinks‘ rela-
tives that he was crazy. and needed
looking after. and as a result. the sel-
ectuuin determined to send him to the
sanlturlum. Officer Leutlieriand was
commissioned to do the job. and has
several very painful romliulcrs of the
occasion. His head was split open.
and he sustained many bruises and a
cllt on one side of the face.
The officer secured the assistance of
Charles Page and di‘Oth up to Banks'
residence. Immediately upon enter-
lag the house Banks began to tell him
about the wonderful power he had to
stop anything In the universe at will.
The officer thought that by humoring
the crazy man. it would be possible to
induce hlin to take. a ride with them
in the carriage. which had been left
near the house. llut all persuasion
failed. The officer fully agreed that
all that Banks said was correct, and
told him that a.South Norwalk manu-
facturer had sent. them up after him.
as he was wanted to put some heavy
machinery In place. this being Impos—
sible without Bunks‘ great invisible
power. flanks listened very willingly.
but suddenly dccided that If the man-
ufacturer wanted‘ him he would have
to write for him. Later he decided he
would go to his assistance yesterday.
The officer then asked him if he did
not want to take a ride up to Poplar
Plains to see his sister. but Banks re-
fused absolutely again. on account of
the day being Sunday.
In addition to his superhuman pow—
cr hallucination, Banks has a reli-
gious mania.
The officer and Mr. Page, seeing that
persuasive methods were unavailing.
decided to take the insane man by
sheer force. Their troubles began Ini-
mciliatcly, for Banks is a very power-
t’ul roan. and was able to exercise much
more strength than a sane man. He is
forty-seven years of age. is five feet.
eight inches tall. and weighs 168
pounds
lltnlis was on the second floor and
Officer Leathcrland and his assistant
finally managed to drag him to the top
of the stairway. where their man took
a grip on the bunister. and braced
himself for a mighty effort at resist-
ance.
His hold was finally broken, and all
three went tumbling down the stairs.
and landed in a heap. Officer Leather-
land's head struck the. jam of a door.
causing the Injuries mentioned. Banks“
hands Were finally handcuffffed. and he
was placed in the carriage and driven
to Westport.
When the sanitarium was reached.
the handcuffs were removed and this
caused Banks to break out violently
again. and another tussle followed b&
fore he was subdued.
There were two men at. Banks' res-
idcnce. in Center avenue. but neither
offered 'to assist the men who took
the. unfortunate man away.
Banks has a wife. He came orig-
inally from Weston. and It is said that
insanity Is hereditary with his family.
When Banks stopped the freight
train Saturday. the crew was under the
impression that a wreck had occurred
down the road.
