Oysters are going the way of all

grower has iound it necessary to ad-

owing to increase in wages paid to
labor and to the increased cost of
- handling due to restrictions imposed
by federal legislation some of which.
men interested in the industry declare,
are not warranted from the viewpoint
of health.
Other factors enter into the in-
crease. For instance the harbors and
estuaries. which have proven the
most productive in the past. have been
banned by the federal authorities and
the available area .for growing re-
duced by many thousands of acres. in
these waters where the fresh and salt
waters meet the oyster attains a
much larger growth. whereiis further
out. where the water is almos; pure
sea water, the bivalves do not reach
but half the size.
it is said that the oystermen of the
north have decided to accept without
further contention all the restrictions
placed upon the industry by the gov-‘
’ernment and also to adopt all sugges-
tions and that this means very soon
there will be no more harbor or river
oysters but only ocean grown. The
latter are said to be of fine fiavor‘but

COLCHESTER. Sept. 20.—The lo-
cal postoiflce was broken into and
the safe blown open and robbed early
today. The amount of booty secured
by the thieves could not be detera
mined. in the absence of the post-
master. J. J. Sullivan, who was in New
'Haven over night. Word of the rub
bery was sent to him in that city
and he was expected home today.
An examination of the big at el
safe showed that an attempt bad so
made to pry the heavy outer door open
and that nitroglycerin had then been
poured in and set off. On the floor
near the safe were two thick horse
blankets which had evidently been
used to Wrap about the safe to deaden
the sound of the explosion. Nothing
else in the office had been touched, so
far as could be determined. .
The poatofiice is in the business;
center of the town and located in a
building in front of which there, is an?
electric street lig The lights, how-
ever, go out at 1 ocock. and it is
believed it was during the succeeding
period of darkness that the break was
made. ’:
Several persons living not far frdm
the place said today that they heard
so «ral dull sounds like an explosion
during the early morning. but paid
little attention to them as they were
not very distinct. Another report was
that an automobile was heard about
the center some time before daybreak.

The second death from infantile
paralysis in Norwalk, occurred yester-
day afternoon when Mildred Nicker-

and Mrs. Henry Nickerson. of Lorena
street. East Norwalk, died of the.
dreaded disease. in spite of the
heroic efforts of Dr. Theron it. ii.t.td~
by and Health Officer Tracey, the
disease reached its climax early in
the afternoon and the child expired.
liurial services were held at 11:30
o'clock this morning and interment
took place in the East Norwalk Como-
tery. The funeral was private and no
friends were allowed to attend. Tine
parents of the child, themselves, wero‘
not permitted to break the quarantine
and leave the house because of the
danger of spreading the plague.
The Nickeraon girl was only ill
three da'ysuand on the first two days
had a high‘ fever. Yesterday morning,
ho‘everfiDr. Tracey and Dr; Bradley .
announced that the little girl had in-
fantile paralysis and that she caught
it from her brother. Edward. who has
been ailing with it since last Friday.
The girl's logs were paralyzed and
her chest was affected by it also, The.
real cause of her, death was the par
aiysls of the respiratory muscles,
which caused strangulation.
This is the second death in Norwalk
from the dreaded plague. The first
occurred two months ago when little!
John Bun. two years old. and living
on'liexlngton avenue. died from it.
The brother of the deceased girl.
fidward, is improving rapidly, and he
will probably be out of danger in a
few days. At present both of his legs
are paralyzed. but the attending phy-
siciana hope that the paralysia‘will

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—-—Desplte the
attempted intervention of a committee
of business men, there seemed to be
little prospect today of averting a
general strike in sympathy with the
street railway employee. ubor lead-
ers aver that the proposed general
walkout will involve about 700.000
workers in all trades.
Throughout the. night elevated
trains, together with subway trains at
points where they run on elevated
structures, were subjected to almost
ceaseless bombardmeutn of bottles
and bricks. car windows being shat-
tered and a number of passengers in—
lured.
Today there were several attacks
by strikers and sympathiners on our-
face care and police reserves were
repeatedly called out.
With. the arrival‘here today of
Samuel Gomperst president of the
American‘Federatlon of labor. to at-
tend the funeral of Seth bow, it was
learned that the business interests
which, are endeavoring to avert a
sympathetic strike had invited Mr.
Gompers to attend their meeting with
labor leaders tomorrow. Mr. Gompers
held his acceptance of the invitation
in abeyance pending talks with union
leaders.
