Report of Grand Regent Boynten. Here in the city of South Norwalk amid delightful surroundings the Grand Council meets today in nine teenth annual session. The work in another year which has come and gone. is about to be‘raviech and malt» ters affecting the interests of the var- ious Councils In this grand jurisdic- tion considered. - Before proceeding to the considera- tion of the various matters, l desire to bring to your attention. i wish to express my appreciation of the gen- uine spirit of fraternity which has per- vaded the various Councils through- out this- grand Jurisdiction. The year has been-marked by an especial spirit of harmony and good-fellowship and everywhere the Grand Regent has re celved a cordial welcome and hearty cooperation in the work. Mombsfeilip. Upon assuming once the Grand Re gent asked of the Various subordinate Councils a net gain in membership of 15 per cent. for the Grand Council year. _ In many Councils this percen- tage of gain has been more than real- ised. In others there has been goodly increase, and in a few. little if any gain at! all. a membership April 1st, 1904. w 6,961; the total additions for the your were 727 and the losses 291. leaving a net gain for the year of 438. The present mem- bershfp is 7.887. While this gain is not all that the Grand Regent asked or hop. ed for. yet on'the whole. and consid- ering the conditions existing. it Is a. healthy and normal increase. or the 42 Councils in the State. 28, show an increase in membership for the year. it showings loss. Finalise. ‘ One year ago the balance in the treasury wss'uflh‘ldi. Our ant cash balance is. a net gain of 81.00 .88 for the year. Our financial condition is most satis- fpctory. While considerable ‘ work dies been donation-ing the year in the -. way of assisting weak Councils. and under the head of "Good “of the On- tier." there has been be excessive drain on the. resources of the Grand coun- . c s a , ‘“ ~~ Visitsilan. " Durihg the year the various Council! ,la'ihiwlurisdiotlonh ve been visited pm assess. shawl“ ‘ [helpful in starting the work for the fail and winter campaign: In addi- tion to these special visitations. Sup- erviaing Deputies have made repeated visits to the Councils under their charge, making frequent reports to the Grand Regent, thus enabling him to keep in close touch with each of the Subordinate Councils. Prizes. . In accordance with the custom prev- iously established by the Grand Coun- oil, the advisory committee voted to continue the giving of prizes to indi- vidual members under the same con- ditions as last year; in addition there to this committee voted to ofi'er spee- isl cash prizes to the Councils making the largest net gains in membership. according to conditions set forth in Official Circular No. 7. issued October 24th. 1904. This contest among. the Councils has aroused much enthusiasm and has shown some remarkable re- suite. The winner of the first prize in the 3rd and ith classes is East Hartford Council, No. 1.287, which has made the phenomlnai gain of 67 per cent.. in- creasing its membership from 196 to 308. one of the greatest records in the history of the Grand Council ‘of Con- nectlcut. The winner of the second prize In the 3rd and 4th classes is i’utnam Council, No. 340, making a net. gain of 25 per cent... increasing its membership from 171 to 214. Ponassue Council, No, 1,268, made a net gain of 24 per cent. a record al- most equalling that of Putnam Coun- c . g Suspensions. The number of suspensions during the year for non-payment of dues and assessments has been 148. It would seem as If some of the suspenfons were unnecessary and with due atten- tion given to delinquents by the mem- bers of Subordinate Councils. a con- siderable number of those dropped ev~ Igry year; could be retained in the Dr- er. Extension of the Order. In some respects the most impor~ taut work In this grand Jurisdiction at. present is strengthening weak Coun- ucils. There is no especial demand for new Councils, but there is an ur- gent need for some Councils that have Ismail memberships. to be taken in hand by the Grand Council and be put on a thoroughly substantial basis. Dur- ging the past your several Councils have been assisted by the Grand Coun- cil lo suchyan extent that they are now thrifty and progressive. and a credit to the order In the communities in which they are‘lm-aied. Still others need help and l eamestfy recommend .ihat the Grand Council give the mat- ter immediate attention. Deputy Grand Bahama. Jontlnuing the practice established under the previous administration. ten supervising deputy grand regents wore appointed and each given a definite number of Councils to look after. Some changes were made in the. districts. ‘thus making the arrangements more satisfactory toboth deputies and coun- cils. The work of the deputies has been very satisfactory and in many cases has been instrumental in amus- lug new interest in the Councils under their charge and bringing the brothers to a realisation of the responsibilities that rest upon them. 1 heartily re Commend a continuance of the plan. Supreme Regent's Visit. It was our pleasure the past year to be favored with a visit from the Supreme Regent. In Harmonia Hall. New Haven. on December lblh. 1904. a reception and entertainment was given in honor of the visit of Supreme Regent A. S. Robinson. of St. fouls. and Brother Jere Haldeman. Supreme Representaive from Missouri. The by a heavy fall of snow and was not a favorable one for a large attendance. however. the meeting was a repre- sentative one, the hall being well fill- ed by members of the Order from ‘I nearly every section of the State. Af- ter the entertainment“: reception was tendered the Supreme Regent which was much enjoyed by all. A'nsfmis Council. . By order of the Supreme Regent dated March 2. 1905. Anscnia Council. No. 1.827, was dissolved, and cards were granted by the Supreme Secre- tary to the members for deposit in other Councils. This Council had been losing members by suspensions and withdrawal for some time and as there scented little hope of putting it on a working basis, if. was thought. ad- visablc that the above action be tak- en. a (Continued on Second, Page.) ”on M. r.

York: to Bridgeport, and was Struck by a Squall ' The barge Bertha. bit-Williams. laden with 294 tons of coal consigned to Vin- cent Bros., of Bridgeport, is lying on the bottom of the Sound In about ten fathoms of water, someWhere off West- port. She foundered at about 3 o'clock yesterday morning in a sudden squall. The‘Bertha McWiiliams was one of six barges of a tow drawn by the tug Zouave, and the master of the barge was John Brown. As the tow was passing Westport a. sudden squall struck it, and the Bertha fared worse than the other barges. the waves ,washlng over her, the water settling in her hold. it was not long before the barge began to settle, slowly. and the bargemaster, John Brown. realizing that there was danger if he remained any longer aboard, jumped to an ad- joining barge. (The six barges were ranged two abreast. lashed together. When he had become safely en- sconced in the adjoining barge, Brown severed the ropes fastening the sink« ing barge to the remainder of the tow. in order to remove the danger of the others accompanying the’dOomed ves- sel to the bottom. and the barge was left sinking as the remainder of the tow proceeded to Bridgeport, arriving there about daybreak. Whether the sunken barge will be recovered is doubtful. for In the dark ness and confusion. the crew were able to take only very inaccurate account of the whereabouts of the mishap. and the barge may have floated a mile or two from the place where Brown severed the ropes until she finally sunk. Captain McDonald, of the barge Zouave, which was lowing the barge. is satisfied that the accident. could not havo been averted. On Sunday evening the barge Leo McWilliams, belonging to the same firm. sank off Cockenoe island, Nor- walk. not very far from the scene of the misfortune of yesterday moimng. The tug Belle McWilliams had her in tow bound for New Haven. SUIT AGAINST TOWN OF WILTON. Supreme Court of Errors in Session Yesterday~8haiior Case Argued This Afternoon.

Bishop. one of the best known lawyers in Bridgeport, son of the late William D. Bishop. for years presi- dent of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, was ur- rested In Norwalk this morning about 11:30 for breaking the automobile speed law. A few moments later he was armraigned before Judge Edward M. Lockwood. who imposed a fine of 825. which was quickly paid by check. When hauled up in West avenue by Officer Bryan H. Silk, Mr. Bishop was enroute R) New York in his big French automobile and was accompanied by Sanford Stoddard a young Bridgeport lawyer. son of At orney Goodman God- dard, and another friend. Mr. Bishop stated in court that he had no means of refuting the testi- mony of the officer. inasmuch as the speedometer on the car Is out of or- der and therefore did not register cor- rectly. He could not tell how fast he was drivng. but Ofiicer Silk's stop watch showed that he was bowling along between 22 and 23 miles per hour. Policeman Silk said he was standing near Merwln street, when a lady drew his attention to the speed of the ap- preaching motor car. He took out his stop watch. which showed the! ten seconds. When the car reached him. he put out his hand and it was brought to a quick stop. oncer Silk informed Mr. Bishop that he was un- der arrest for speeding and the auto- mobillst took him aboard and the par- ty drove» to the office of Prosecuting Attorney John J. Walsh.- A consulta- tion followed between the prosecuting attorney and Judge Lockwood.- after which there was an adjournment to the court. , in sentencing Mr. Bishop the judge said he did not consider his offence as great as that of Marcus H. Duly. who was apprehended last Saturday. inas- much as, unlike Mr. Duly be had quick- ly brought this car to a stop when com fronted by an officer. Mr. Bishop said that this was the first time be had ever been arrested for speeding and" at the time he was going no faster than he sends the big machine around Bridgeport. it was next to impossible to accurately gauge the speed of a motor vehicle when traveling on a smooth road. The whole proceeding. from the time the arrest occurred until after the sen- tence of the court was meted out. took only about half an hour. and Mr. Bis- hop thanked tho court ofilclais for dis posing of his case so quickly. After the interruption, Mr. Bishop and par- ty proceeded on their journey to New York. The owner of the machine was rather of the opinion that Norwalk was a sort. of a hard luck place to him, as the last. time he was here be hunted two tires. .. ‘ Marcus fl. Duly. whose chauffeur was fined :50 and costs. yesterday. was at one time a pupil at Prof. Carl A. Harstrom's school. LAOllN'8 CONDITION SERIOUS.

Brown. had been distributing money among the town poor in an im- proper manner. Selectman Devlne hurled charge after charge of accusa- tion with Gatling gun like rapidity and for a time the air was thick and heavy with the smoke of battle, as the fight waged hotter and hotter. it was the first aeleotman pitted against the other two. Hot shots quickly follow ing each other were sent forth by Mr. Device, while at every chance Messrs. Brown and Avlson jumped up again to the firing line, denying the truth of his ac'cusiona. ' When a breathing spell finally‘camc along, the meeting decided to appoint a committee of three to investigate the subject and report at a future town meeting. When this move was decided upon. It proved a hard proposition to find three men who would accept a position on the committee. They were finally selected. however. William War- den, Charles A. Burr and OX'BIH'KESS William McMullen agreeing to tackle the job. a One little paragraph in the call for the meeting proved the bombshell that exploded with so much force. It read: > , "To consider the matter of paying: the rents of the outside town poor. and fix the amount to be paid in any one case; or to give the selectmen such in- structions in the matter as the meet- ing may deem advisable." I The business of the meeting was tail. en up in the order specified in the call and this was the fourth subject Chairman Bradley 8.

He began by saying that up tothe first of the present month, .the board liaspaid out $2,874.68 for rents. “A good many are getting real that hadn't ought to." he pitched forth as a starter. The undeserving. he said. he cut off. but the other members of the board re-Inststed them on. the books. “When my back Is turned, they come and get their rent order." ,he contin- ued. “l refused to sign the orders but the others did. That’s not right.“ He believed there should be some under» standing over the money that was to be distributed. At this point. ‘ Selectman Brown WANTED. . WANTED-«COMPETENT GIRL for general housework.
