One OHM Largest Funeral Cor-
iegss Ever In Norwalk was
That of This Morning. When
Well-known Citizen was Laid
to Rest
t, Hundreds of people turned out this
morning to pay their last tribute to
the memory of Charles Finch, Seldom
has such a large funeral cortege pass-
ed through the streets of Norwatk as
that which accompanied the remains
of the deceased to their last resting
place in St. Mary's cemetery. The
long procession of mourners, the fire-
men, Eagles and Elks. who turned out
almost in a body, shows the high
esteem in which Mr. Finch was held
by all who knew him.
As a mark of courtesy and respect,
many of the members of the Norwaik
Fire Department, in addition to the
members of Hope Hose Company, of
which the deceased was an honorary
member, were noticed In the funeral
procession. The organizations of
Elks. Eagles and the firemen, in full
uniform, marched from their various
quarters to the Finch home in Lewis
street, Norwalk, and accompanied the
remains to St. Mary's Church, where
funeral services were held. Nearly
the entire society of Eagles, about
125 men, were in line. As they
marched along they presented an Im-
pressive appearance. in the proces-
‘ision also were sixty firemen and about
twenty-five Elks. A long line of fitn—
eral coaches,- stretching nearly from
the it‘inch home to the church, foi—
Jowed the procession.
At the church a solemn high requiem
mass was said, the service being con»
ducted y Rev. J. H. O'Donnell as
' celebran ; Rev. John C. h‘ogtiriy, dea—
con. and Rev; William Fitzgerald, sub-
deacon. The service commenced at
9 o'clock and lasted just an hour.

very effectively, and at the close,

Farm Hands in Slouch lists
Proved to be Sheriffs Stagg
and Beardsley
Deputy Sheriff Stagg and Constable
Beardsley turned off a neat trick late
Tuesday afternoon. when they raided
one of the best known resorts In this
vicinity, known as the "Old Toll
House," on the Bridgeport-Danbury
turnpike In Trumbull. and conducted
by Charles Olah. Complaints have
been received for some time from
residents of Trumbull that liquor was
being dispensed at the tavern and it
was ercn whispered that other things
not just right were being done thorn.
So Prosecuting Liquor Agent King, of
b‘alrhold, issued a warrant and gave
It to Deputy Sheriff Stagg. Of course
Trumbull Is a no-llcense town and
nothing but pop hect- anti ginger ale
should be dispcnscd therein.
Sheriff Stagg and Constable Beards-
Icy disguised themselves for the oc-
casion. wearing old slouch hats, over—
alls and colored shirts,
'I‘hcy sidled into the historic old
tavern and asked the pretty barmaid
for beers. There were the usual
number of loungers present and Sher—
iff Stagg, assuming a devil~may-carc
attitude. cried:
“Set 'em up for the hence."
The. girl behind the bar compiled
and the sheriff ordered another and
yet another round. While the third
glass was being drained by tho sher-
iff the girl looked acrutlnizlngly at him
anti remarked carelessly
”Do you know that you remind me
a good deal of Sheriff Stagg?"
"Well. that's somewhat peculiar."
replied the sheriff, "l have frequent.
ly been taken for Stagg."
There was a quizzical expression on
the officer's face as be made the reply
and it was not lost on the girl.
“l'il swear you are the sheriff."
she said ttirning white.
“Right the first time." rcplictl tho
odicor as he reached over and laid
it detaining hand on her shoulder.
"Now, I‘ll be obliged to trouble you
for what little booze you have lying
about loose."
The officers made a thorough search
of the promises and found a number
of cones of beer. Charles (link, the
proprietor, was piaccd under arrest
and afterwards released on a bond
for his appearance In court today.
This aftrtrnoon. Prosecuting Liquor

Cause, and Judge Light is
Acting al-Pm‘fsnf
While the deadlock. of the county
commissioners overi, the appointment
of a county treasurer continues witn~
out any prospect ofia compromise be-
ing effected, Judge Whitman S. Mead.
.-ommissloner from Greenwich, is en-
tirely satisfied wit the present as-
pect of affairs. Each commissioner
has a candidate for the office. and as
long as the deadlock continues, Judge
Head's man will remain in the office.
The present county treasurer is
Judge John H. Light, ’of Norwalk, and
tlthough his term of office actually
expired July 1, by virtue of the. sta-
tutucs lie is entitled to remain in of~
lice and perform all the duties there-
of until the appointment of his suc-
cessor. Judge Light. is the candidate
of the commissioner from Greenwich
mil consequently the latter is cntircly
content to allow the deadlock in con-
tinue.
Judge Elmore 8. Banks, of lt‘aii‘field.
s the candidateof Commissioner Sim-
on I’casc, of that thriving town, and
Mr. Press has announced that be will
under no circumstances vote for an)‘
other man for the office.

former Lieutenant Governor Edwin 0.

pointincnt was accomplished through
Mr. binder and consequently he has
reason to be grateful. So have Com-
missioners Peasc and Mead, for other
various favors.
Judge Banks was the "nigger In the
woodpile" for quite a while. it was
known that Mr. chlcr and Judge
Light were rival candldutcs for the
county treasurerslilp. btit the presence
of a third candidate was not suspected
until lately, when it was seen that the
commissioners couldn't gct. together on
the matter. The majority rules. and
if two of them should pool Issues for
one man, he would be declared elect-
ed. lint such a procedure, at least
at the present time. is improbable and
In all likelihood Judgc Light will con-
tinue as county treasurer for another
year. The salary of thc office. 3300 n
year. Is certainly not grcat,. btit it
brings with it considerable prestige.

China. Take Action Against a
Institution Which Was Given
Charter by the Legislature of
Connecticut .
SHANGHAI, July 27.——The native
bankers here are calling aimeeting
to discuss a proposal to boycott the
international Banking Corporation.
The international Banking Corpora-
tion was organized in June, 1901, tin-
der the laws of Connecticut. receiving
its charter by a special act of the
legislature. it was then the only Am-
erican banking institution formed for
the purpose of doing business entirely
in foreign countries with authority to
establish branches. The corporation
in December. 1902. was made the agent
of the United States government for
the receipt of the payments to this
government on account of the Chinese
Boxer indemnity. The stockholders
of the corporation were selected from
among the leading manufacturers, ex-
porters and Importers of the United
States. The corporation was capital'—
izcd at $3,000,000, with a surplus of
$3,000,000.
The officers of the corporation are:
Thomas H. Hubbard, chairman of the
board of directors and president:
James S. F‘earon. vice‘presfdent. and
J. B. Lee. general manager. The main
offices of the corporation are at No.
1 Wall street. New York, and there
are branches throughout the world.
SAN FRANCISCO July 27.~Local
merchants interested in trade with
China have been rather anxious over a.
rumor that the Chinese boycott against
American goods has gone Into effect
and that all the big milling and flour
companies had received stop orders
from their agents in the Orient and
that existing contracts had been can-
celled.
China buys about $4,000,000 worth
of goods annually from San Francis-
co. Of this amount nearly one-third
ls flour, about. 500.000 barrels being
exported.
NEW YORK, July 27.«Local oili-
ciuls of the International Banking
Corporation expressed surprise at the
news from Shanghai. in response to a

WASHINGTON, July 27.~—~Some
doubt ts expressed In official circles
whether It will be possible to obtain
China's consent to another treaty with
the I lifted States providing for cvcn
the exclusion of Chinese laborers from
this country. The State Department
is aware of Ill feeling throughout.
China on the whole subject and now
that the immigration treaty with
China has been allowed to lapse with~
out the negotiation of a new agree-
ment. reports havo reached here that.
Chitin is Inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention. China‘s
position appears to be that the exclu-
sion of Chinese citizens front a friendly
country Is. In itself, a disgrace anti
while she cannot Ignore the laws of
a foreign powur providing for such
exclusion she can refuse to sanction It
or become party to it by concluding a
treaty involving such restrictions. A
few years ago. It is said. It would haVe
been may to conduct negotiations
with China for the exclusion of Chin-
ese laborers only. Now, however, it
is understood, the Chinese officials are
disposed to regard the signing of such
a treaty beneath the dignity of their
government. The reason for the as-
sumption at Pekin of this new atti-
tude is not quite clear to the officials
here, though Income circles it is at-
tributed to the Influence of foreign
powers.
