' PLENT_Y__0f LAW.
A Special meeting of lhe‘Norwalk
Yacht club was held in the parlors of
the Mahackemo hotel. Saturday night
at 7 30 o’clock, for the purpose, of act-
ing upon an amended constitution and
new by-laws. ~ '
The amendments were read and
passed by sections and then adopted as
a whole by a two-thirds vote of the
members.
It was the purpose of these “steering’
the meeting. to adjourn the special
meeting and hold the annual meeting
immediately after, using the new con-
stitutiou and by-laws. Here. however,
an important; point was overlooked.
and Attorney H. W. Gregory, one of
the members, notified the meeting that
Section 1907 of the statutes, un'der
' which" the club! is incorporated, re-
quired that the amendments should be
lodged with the Secretary of State and
recorded in the town records before
they could take effect.
The information started a long dis-
cussion in which John H. Light took a
conspicuous part, but the quiet, gentle-
munly way in which Mr. Gregory stuck
pins into Mr. Light’s balloons as fast as
he floated them, was not only amus-
ing but. placed Mr. Light in a most un—
enviable roaition. Mr. Light tried in
that well known way;of which he is Said
to be a complete master, to evade, mie-
lead and confuse, but] Mr. Gregory’s
dignified statements backed up by the
law, copies of which he produced, car-
ried weight and were heeded.
The mostZimportant fact brought out,
and one thatjmay lead to a complete re-
organization of the club. was developed
during the debate by Mr. Charles Jen-
nings. v
Mr. Jennings inquired if the club was
a stock corporation, to which Mr.
Light readily and suavely responded in
the negative.
Turning to Mr. Gregory, Mr. Jen-
nings said. '
“Mr. Gregory isthat statemlent cor-
rect?” .
Thus called upon Mr. Gregory re-
plied, “I am not ready to give a snap-
shot: decision like my brother Light,
but I am of the opinion that a club that
issues certificates, allowing its mem-
bers to subscribe for as many as they
desire, and upon which the club pays
dividends, comes very near being a
joint stock corporation.”
“That is just what I thought,” re.
plied Mr. Jennings.
If this view of the matter proves true,
and several lawyers have verified Mr.
Gregory’sfistatement since the meeting,
the Yacht club is illegally organized and
will require a complete reorganization.
It was further discovered that the
amendment to the Constitution made
two years ago changing the date of the
annual meeting, had not been lodged
with the Secretary of State and record-
ed in the town records, and that Satur-
day night’s supposed annual meeting
was illegal and an election of oflicers
could not be held nor business transact-
ed.
When this became apparent the
meeting was adjourned for two weeks
after passing resolutions eulogislic of
G. E. Bogart in opposition to the pub-
lished articles reflecting upon him.
The meeting was tho'largest 1n num—
bers of any ever held by the club,
caused no doubt by rumors and sensa-
tional reports printed in a local paper,
which gave the impression that the
proposed meeting would witness a vig-
orous quarrel among its members.
There were forty-one present and
forty proxies of absent members, many
of whom had been induced to sign du-
plicate proxies by statements and re-
ports that were not strictly correct. "
A committee called the “nominating
committee” hadhelected the officers of
the club for the ensuing year, and the
secretary had mailed the list to each
member of the club prior to the meet-
ing, with a proxy which was pledged to
be voted for the committee’s list of
officers.
As the constitution does not provide
for a nominating committee its creation
was illegal, and quite a numbe‘r were
opposed to it. There was no opposi
tion, however,to the personal members
of this committee although many were
led to believe otherwise.
Another objection to the ticket pre-
pared by this committee and sent out
by the secretary. was that two of the
old members of the governing commit-
ee had been left ofi'aud two new nam
substituted, one of those substituted
being the name of the chairman of the
nominating committee I
The two members who were dropped
had givep their personal notes to the
South Norwalk Savings bank for a
loan of $2,500 made the club, and the
nominating committee proposed to
drop them out from the management of
the club’s affairs without first paying
the note. No Tolerance to this pro-
posed dropping, however, was made in
the notice sent the members, and they
were unaware of the codt‘emplated
action. >
A story had been industriously circu-
lated prior to the meeting, that one of
the deposed parties was engaged in a
personal fight against the committee,
and we are informed that a number of
members were induced to give their
proxies a second time on such represen-
tation.'
This was as untrue as it was unfair.

club either pay the 82,500 or remove
his endorsement from the note.
If the club will release him from this
. obligation he has no desire whatrver to
fill any office within the gift of the
club, but until he is‘released he does
not feel that he should be deprived Of
knowing about and taking part in the
management- of the business affairs of
the club.
It is but just to stale that several of
those gentlemen who were led into
signings second proxy, have unhesita-
tingly said after being advised of the
facts, that no mrmher thould he re-
moved from the governing board who
has signed the note until the 352,500 was
paid or his endorsement released, and
that they gave their'proxies without
knowing lhe facts.
A Mfifli FIRE.
Otto DePeirne who lived on Summit
street on. Spring Hill, was at an early
hour this morning burned out of house
and home. .
About 12 o’clock last night he was
awakened by the coughing of his chil-
dren and getting up found the rooms
filled with smoke. He went into the
cellar thinking that perhaps something
was wrong with the furnace. ,
Finding everything all right he came
up stairs again and on opening the
kitchen door was met by a volume of
fire and. smoke that nearly knocked
him down. He managed to close the
door and hastily awakened the other
members of the family including six
children,and succeeded in getting them
out of the house most of them only half-
dressed. They were cared for at a
neighbors named Casey near by.
An alarm was sent in from box 21 to
which the firemen reoponded. Hope
Hose company managed to get up the
long and tedious hill leading to the
scene of the fire. The supply wagon
with horses attached was also quickly .
at the fire. As the Pioneer Hook and
Ladder company reached the foot of
the hill James Magner came along with
his team and hitching the some the
truck soon had it at the fire.
Connections were made with the hy-
drants but there was no -. a
water and it was comparatively useless.
Next adjourning the DePirene place
is the house of George A. White. As
it was evident that the builling which
was on fire could not possibly befsaved,
the attention of thefiremen was placed
on the White place which they succeed
ed in saving.
There was considerable wind and the
Sparks from the burning building were
blown a distance of nearly half a mile
igniting the dry grass and threatening
the burning of other buildings.
It is believed that the fire originated
from the kitchen stove. The entire
loss is about $3,000. There was an in-
surance of $1,500 on the house hold by
the Norwalk Fire Insurance company
and $500 on the furniture with Coolidge
& Lynes.
ANOTHER. 9
Some lads set fire to a lot of grass
and brush opposite what is known as
the Bryant place on Butler street, yes-
terday afternoon. The blaze commun-
icated with a fence adjoining the Mrs.
Lydia Demmon place. Neighbors put
out the fire with buckets of water before
it communicated with the building
which it threatened to do. Loss, per-
haps $10. No alarm was sent in.
FIREMEN REMEMBERED.
Presented With a Substantial Purse of
Gold by the Congregational Society.
At the First Congregational church
yesterday morning, the pastor’s theme
was “Worldliness—What it is and Why
Forbidden.”- In the evening there was
a special service in recognition of the
successful efforts of the Fire Depart-
ment in saving the church edifice from
destruction. About one hundred fire-
men were present in uniform, and the
great church waslpocked to the doors.
The Pastor spoke upon “The Moral
Bciuty of Unselfish and Heroic Ser-
vice,” taking for his text Gen. 15-17
"and it came to pass when the sun went
down and it was dark, behold a smoking
furnace and a burning lamp.” At the
close of the service Senator Keeler,
chairman of the society’s committee
and Chief Prowitt of the Fire Depart-
ment were called to the front and the
former in a brief but felicitous address
presented the Chief with a purse of
gold on behalf of the Society and!
' church, as a token of appreciation for ‘-
the effective service rendered. Chief
Prowitt made a feeling response in be-
half of the firemen, expressive‘of his
gratitude for the unlocked for gift
The music of the choir was of very high
order and greatly enjoyed.
