The first test case of the infantile
paralysis health regulation. as fixed
by the Norwalk Board of Health. was
heard this morning in the downtown
court, before Judge bockwood. Sam-
l uel A. Artella, of 8 Windsor Place. was
lthe defendant in the action, having
.been arrested last Saturday evening.
ifor the alleged wilful violation of a
I health regulation, ina‘smucirss he kept
is little girl at his home in this city,
after he had been warned of the vio-
lation of the regulation in doing so
by Officer Smith. Judge licckwood.
after hearing all of the evidence on
the case. decided to postpone the case
'lrom day to day. meanwhile placing
!Artella under :50 bonds.
1 The evidence presented this mot.»
ing both by Artslla. his wifo. and
Mort-Jinnah. of New Km; Citr. who
brought the child to Norwalk, was
somewhat confusing. but it served to
point out a weakness in the. health
regulation as it is at present, which
will have to be remedied in the near
future. ‘Mrs. Artella. while on the
stand, testified that she had seen a
child taken off of an east-bound train
yesterday. and placed in an automo-
bile and taken on to New Canaan as
was later learned. upon the presents-

According to present plans the

September 18. it is hoped that' within .
ithe next month or‘so the present epi-
demic of infantile paralysis will have
subsided, and it is understood to be]
the opinion of members of the school
board that it will not be wise to as-
semble a great number of children to-
gether until this is the case. Many
parents, it is understood, have decided
not to send their children to school
early in September.
A meeting of the school board will
be held this evening to consider the
matter, and will probably definitely.
fix the date for the school reopei‘mg.

For several. months it has been
hoped by those interested in the la-

General Optical Company of .Nsw

vantage to locate in this city. Repro-
sentatives of the company have made
several trips about the city in search
of sites suitable for the large concern.

Word was received however. early

to the understanding of yesterday.

was formerly the case.

JERSEY CITY. N. J.. Aug. 7.--A
afictncular dre, which the police be-
have was incendiary. started last night
in the railroad yards in the Claremont
section of the city. a quarter of a mile
from the scene of the Black Tom ox-
floslon last Sunday. About dftoon
freight corn loaded with merchandise
were destroyed.
The blue could be seen for miles
around, giving rise to wild rumors
that spread rapidly in Jersey City.
One report was that more explosives
at Black Tom were threatened and
persons living in the vicinity became
greatly alarmed.
Lack of water hampered: the fire
fighters and they were compelled to
light the blaze with steam obtained
from locomotives.
The tire was discovered in'two cars
of commercial acids which were
saved from the Black Tom lire, al-
though the roofs of the cars had
been blown off.
