Advocates of a municipal lighting
find power plant for the City of Nor-
.walk are Jubilant over the result of
last night's city meeting, called to con-

sider the subject. They consider that
the large majority in favor of the ap-
pointment of a committee to investi-
gate the subject its feasibility. prob-
able cost and the necessary steps is a
victory for the movement.

That the matter was a very interest-
ing one to the public of the city was
proven by the large attendance. The
town assembly hall in Wall street in
which the meeting was hold. was fill-
ed with many more voters than are
usually present at a city meeting.

Mayor George B. Buxton. who is
a staunch supporter of municipal own.
crship of lighting and power facilities
in Norwalk. called the meeting to or-

‘der a few minutes after 8 o'clock and '

After the reading of the call by City
Clerk J Belden Hurlbutt. made a stir-
ing address.

The resolution providing for an in-
vestigation of the matter was present-
ed by Councilman James T. Hubbell.
When it was pllt to a vote it passed
by the large majority of 128 to 42.
These flgllres do not give a correct
idea of the number of people in the
hall. A rising vote was taken as final
and many kept seated during the en-
tire time the tellers were counting.
Below is the resolution in full.

Resolved that a committee of three
persons, to be appointed by the mayor
are hereby authorized to fully investi-
gate the matter of the city establish-
ing and owning a municipal lighting
plant, the probable cost thereof and
what steps are necessary to be taken
to establish a municipal electric light
plant. and to report to a city meeting

OITIZENS TO BATIEY
$280,000 BONO. ISSUE

Special City Meeting Called
For Thursday Night in the
Council Room, Haviiand St.

A special meeting of the South Nor»
walk Common Council was held last
evening. to call a special city meeting
at the Council chamber on Thursday
of this week, to ratify certain votes
on the matter of the issuance of $280,.
000 worth of refunding bonds.

The city meeting will take such ac-
tion as may be deemed advisable or
necessary in relation to the issue of
$190,000 coupon bonds of this city
authorized and directed by the special
city meeting held June 12. 1905. and in
relation to the issue of 890,000 coupon
bonds authorized and directed by the
special city meeting of June 26, 1905,
and in relation to any action taken
heretofore by the Council relating to
the bonds and the issuance thereof.

The firm of Blodgett and Merritt, of
Boston, who were the successful bid-
ders fothhe bonds have raised the
point that the vote to issue the bonds
should have been by belief as they
construe it under the city charter to
be an appropriation of money. it
will be necessary therefore to call the
city meeting and so vote.

The committee, comprising the wat-
er commissioners. Financial Commit-
fee 0. E. Sartain and City Treasurer

the issuance of the bonds. expected to
get proofs of the bonds last, Wednos.

has taken longer, however. It has
been advertised that the bonds are to
be cancelled on September 1 and in
order to do no it will be necessary to
make a loan of $90,000 to cover the
amount liufil such time as the bonds

 

 

There has been no stringency of the
currency and both the local banks are
'wiiling to advance the necessary '90.-
000 in the form of a temporary loan.
The loan will probably be at four per
cent. the rate of interest which the en-
tire bond issue is now paying.

United heifers Obtain a Per-
manent injunction Which ile-
striiins Merrill ill Son, of
Danbury, from lnjuring Them
and a FuliAcoounting Is Also
Ordered

The United Hatters. of North Amer-
ica. are victorious in their suit against
0. H. Merritt d: Son. a Danbury non-
union hat firm, and the latter must
now account to the who for all the
profits it derived by using counter-
feits of the union label upon its
goods. it is also restrained perman-
cntly from using any more of the
counterfeit labels. The decision in
the case was handed down in the su:
perior court, Bridgeport, yesterday by
Judge Milton A. Shumway.

The action was brought by Martin
Lawlor, of Bethel. secretary of the
United Hatters of North America, and
with a few exceptions, all the claims
of the complaint have been found by
fudge Shumway to be true. He has
decided that C. H. Merritt & Son will
have to pay the union all the profile it
has made through the use of the coun.
lerfcil labels, which were first adopted
by the drill, March 15, 1904. The ex-
act amount of profits can only be esti-
mated, but it is thought to be several
thousand dollars...

Previous to the trial of the case, the
matter was pretty thoroughly gone in-
.0, before Judge George W. Wheeler,
who issued a temporary injunction re-
straining the non-union firm from us»
ing the imitation labels. H's handed
lawn a comprehensive memorandum
in the matter, and Judge Shumway
states. Judge .Wheeler decided most
of the points of law involved. in Judge
Shumwuy‘s memorandum. he practical-
ly exonerated the nonunion firm from
any Intention to deceive and defraud.
stating that these allegations were not.
proven. although at the same time, he
finds the firm guilty of counterfeiting
the union label.

The memorandum says: “Section
film. of the general statutes makes
it the dilly of the court to grant an
injunction to restrain the use and dis-
play of any counterfeit or imitation
of a label adopted by any union of
workingiuon."

it goes on to state that Section 4909
provides that the record of the label
shall be suiliciont proof of its adoption
by the union. In regard to the eight
abcls used by the nonunion firm, the
memorandum states: “it is apparent
from the eight cxllillifs they are imita-
tions of the plaintiff's label. The de-
'endnnls have used and are. using
hello initiations and it follows that

 

the plaintiffs are entitled to the re .

lief that the statutes provide in such
cases.

"The injunction is made permanent
and judgment is given that thc defend-
ants nccount to the plaintiff for the
profits derived from the wrongful use
of such imitation labels, as provided In
Section 4910 of the general statutes.“

Judge Shumway states that the ailc.
gallons in paragraphs 4 and b of the
complaint were not found true. The
4th paragraph Is in substance as fol-
lows: .he United Hatters. of North
America issues the union labels gratui-
tously to manufacturers who employ
its member's in making and finishing
hats under rules and restrictions
which prevent labels being used in
hats made by unskilled workmen or in
imperfect hate. The condition of wag
es, workmanship and inspection under
which the association allow the la-
bels to be used are such a guarantee
to a customer that a hat hearing such
a label is of sound workmnnlikc con-
struction.

The 5th paragraph is as follows:
“Said (union) label has become asso-
ciated in the minds of the public with
good workmanship and standard qnllli—
ty and a large and increasing demand
has grown up for bats bearing said In-
bel and the some arc. now being used
at the rate of over it million labels a
month under said rules and restric-
tions. "

Judge Shumwuy probably found
these palagrapha not true, owing to
abundant testimony given at the trial
that some non-union made bats were
of better material and of superior
workmanship to those made by union
workmen.

in paragraphs 12. ill and if of the
complaint. it is alleged that the coun»
forfeit labels were made and used with
the intention of palming off an inferior
grade of hat on the public. and with
the intent to deceive and defraud the
public. Judge Shumway states that
these allegations are not true.

Paragraph iii. of the complaint,
which is as follows, he also states is
not proven: “Said manufacture and
sale of hats so labelled by the defen-
dants, is a fraud on the public. and in
o‘elpecially injurious to said neocla-
t on."

He states. however, it appears from
the testimony that in two instilling
purchasers of hats have been deceived
by one of the imitation labels, so that
allegations .n the complaint to this of
feet are true.

He also states that the special de-
fense put up by C. H. Merritt. a. Firm

BUBOLANS TO GEO OUT
IN ORAN NEW CLOTHES

Helped Thorns "lies to All They

Liked in St _ of Fred lis-
born & Co.,
The store of, F [Osborn &. Co., on

Main street, Ans in. was entered by
two burglars sum time after midnight
yesterday mornlu . and robbed of be-
tween 8200 and $300 worth of goods.
Aftcl exchanging‘their old clothes for
two of the best suits in the store the
burglars packed two dress suit cases
full of goods, and departed the way
they came without being discovered.
Entrance was ems-ted through a rear
window in the basement of the store.
by smashing in We panes of glass in
the lower sash. A I. open stairway corn-
nocts the store w th the basement, in
which is» located the trunk department
and stock room. and once inside the
visitors had no difficulty in finding
their way about.

’lhlit they worked at their leisure
was evident from the appearance of
the store yesterday morning. The en—
tire establishmont had been ransacked
and the goods missing are all of the
most expensive kind. A number of
suits were tried on before the burglars
found their fit, and lore was taken
to gel trousers and coats and vests of
the some kind of goods.

Fitting themselves out in two lino
black stilts. the thieves changed the
rest of their apparel, even to their
stockings. after which they made off
with what they could carry. An in-
ventory will be ueccssury to find out
the exact loss, but six ruin costs were
missing. besides the twu suits, and a
large quantity of gloves, handker-
chiefs, Jewelry and nockwear.

The money drawer was touched up
for $6 in change, which had been left.
and attempts were even made by the
burglars to get at a few pennies which
were in a Salvation Arlny mite box on
the counter. The shelves and show-
cases werc ransacked for the best
goods. and nothing cheap was taken.
Stickplns marked fifty cents were
thrown aside for thuso costing a dollar,
and only linen and silk handkerchiel's
were taken. Dozens of ties are mlssv
lng, besides a score or more of gloves,
and the dress suit cusos must have
bcoll filled to overflowing with foot.

The stilt (wasps were among the boat
in the store. and two derby hats which
file burglars exchanged for their own.
were of the 83 kind. The clothes which
the burglars left ware turned over to
Chief Ellis. and a search is now being
made for the owners by the police. The
clothes were somewhat worn, and one
of the costs bore a red Y. M. C, A,
button and a bronze button of the Na-
val Temperance Union. Later an old
straw hat was discovered at railroad
station No. 2, in the roar of the store.
by one of the clerks. it was marked
“'1‘. Y."

'l‘wo soiled linndkcrclllcfs were also
left by the visitors, one marked with a
f‘lOlifi. worked to red thread. A spoof
of thread and needles. bound up in a
piece of black cloth and an old hair-
brush were found in the store. and the
police are prptty well convinced that
the hut-grim were transients.

The robbery was evidently commit-
lod some time after midnight as about
3 o'clock Night Officer O'Donnell saw
a than making up‘the railroad track.
The store Was visited by Mr. Osborn.
shortly after 7 o'clock Sunday evening,
and everything was all right.

Appearances indicated that the bur-

glars had brought I lunch with them.
as some salt was left, and afterwards
they took a smoke.

important Question Comes tip
in Testimony in the Case of
the State Against Captain
Charles Ducross, Who Pun-
-»\' ciured Reptiles Flippers

 

it speaks well for the humane spirit
of the community that two slits an
inch wide through the web portion of
a turtle’s flipper would be deemed of
sufficient importance to occupy the
time of a judge, three lawyers, two
doctors, six witnesses and a court room
full of spectators for three hours in
deciding the vital question whether or
not a turtle's cerebellum is sufficiently
developed to reader It sensitive to
pain.

Yesterday the town court sat. for
that length of time hearing evidence
in regard to the famous case against
Captain Charles Ducross, charging him
with cruelty to the big turtle which he
has been exhibiting. The case was not
finished at that. however, and was ad-
journed until Thursday to allow the
lawyers to burn more midnight oil in
preparing briefs on the case.

A demurrer was filed by the defense,
but was overruled and the prisoner
pleaded not guilty.

The first witness culled yesterday
was Expressman William Thomp—
son. of East Norwalk. He testified
that he had delivered the turtle to
Captain Ducross and that the two hind
flippers were punctured and tied with
a cord when It arrived. Mr. Thompson
did not remember whether Captain
Ducross had punctured the others, but
when his memory was refreshed he
did recall that he helped hold the flip-
per, and thht when he released his
hold of it the flipper was punctured
and a rope through it. He did not
see it done. having his head turned
away at the time.

Frank H. Oslerhaus. who made the
complaint, was the next witness. He
testified to having seen the turtle af-
ter it had been trussed up. There was
blood oosing out from the slits and
its flippers were pulled back In an un-
naburs position. He admitted that
he had never had any experience in
handling turtles.

Constable Goodwin testified that he
had ordered Captain Ducross to re-
lease the turtle and that blood had
flowed from the wounds when he did
so.

Dr. H. C. Sherer was subpoenaed by
the. state. He testified to having ex—
amincll the turtle. At that time the
hind flippers were free and the front.
ones tied above the turtlc‘s neck.
There were perforations an inch in
length In the gigantic clleionlan‘s pad-
dles about an. inch and a half from the
end of the flipper. The doctor gravely
admitted that he was more or less
familiar with the anatomy of turtles
and thought that the act must have
been painful to the little.

(in the cross~examinution he stated
that his object in examining the turtle
was to satisfy his curiosity. On the
first examination he introduced him—
self as a health officer and notified
Captain Ducross that if he intended to
sell the turtle he must not keep it in
the sun. iie‘ saw Captain Ducross giv~
ing the turtle a bath.

Captain Ducross was the next wit-
ness. lie testified to the size of the
turtle, which weighs about 500 pounds,
and took four men to handle it. He
thought that if the turtle was cut loose
it would take six men to handle it and
two fish markets to keep it in.

“Why." said he. "i pllt a pillow un-
der that there turtle's head. We fol~
lowed the water for thirty years and
lots of times i never had a pillow
myself. Why. that there turtle had a
porterhonsc steak for his breakfast.
and i didn't have any myself."

Dr. M. L. Cronin was the next wit-
ness. He had examined the turtle
on Friday last and yesterday morn—
ing. He testified that there were slits
in the front flippers 7-8 of an inch
from the end and in the rear flippers
3 1-4 inches from the ends. The punc-
ture was in a web formation similar to
the web of a frog. The web was about
a quarter of an inch In thickness. He
tried to press blood out of the wound
and could not do so He thought that
the slitting of the turtle’s flipper must
necessarily cause pain, but that the
turtle did not necessarily have a per-
ception of pain. likening the low order
of the tllrtle' s brain to a human being
under the influence of an anesthetic.
where all the symptoms of pain. wine.
ing and meaning are present, but no
perception of pain is impressed upon
the brain. He then quoted a number
of authorities on the matter.

Captain Decor at. John was next
called. He had seen turtles shipped
and caught in South America and the
West indies. and they were almost
universally pierced and find as Captain
Ducross had his cheloninn bound. '

Robert L. Oleson testified that he
had seen large number of turtles shill-
ped in the same way.

Kenneth Fowler manager of Chene-
bro Brothers. in Fulton Market New
-York. testified that turtles are shipped

the some way and that he did not
think that the cutting caused them
.nuy pain. .

Dr. ilhorcr was rectified to the stand.
lie explained hill testimony and did not
agree with Dr. Cronin in regard to the
pain indicted. He thought that the
nervous system of a turtle wu vonyu
Iimfh‘lr to that of a human being.

Which Will End the War Between Japan and Russia lit
Once—Japan Concedes Everything

 

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August 29.—
Peace,beiwocn Russia and Japan was
practically concluded at this morn-
ing's session of the peace conference.
In the final struggle the Russians
achieved the victory. For the sake
of peace, the Japanese. with a mag-
nanlmity worthy of their heroic ach-
ievements in this war met the ultima-
tum of the our and abandoned their
demands. not only for reimbursement
for the cost ofithe war. but for the re-
purchase of the northern half of Sak-
halin, Russia at the same time agree-
ing to tho dlylslon of the island. The
Japanese also withdrew articles 10 and
11 of the peace conditions originally
proposed, demand for the surrender of
the interned warships and limitation
of the Russian naval power in the Far
East. The delegates of the respective
missions will be called in at
the afternoon session and actual work
formulating the treaty of peace will
begin.

The news that peace had been
agreed upon caused the most intense
excitement at the hotel where the en-
voys have been staying. Everywhere
there was a delirium of jubilation.

An armistice will probably be ar-
ranged this afternoon.

Mr. Witte, accompanied by Baron de
Roach came to the hotel for luncheon.
There was a wonderful demonstration
upon their arrival. A great crowd had
collected under the ports cochere of
the annex, where the Russians are
quartered, and when their automobile
drew up the air was torn with frantic
cheers. Hats were thrown aloft. Mr.
Wittc. as he stepped out of the motor
car seemed quite overcome. Too full
for utterance. he could only grasp and
shake the hands that were extended.

ly moved and received the congratula-
tions of the crowd in silence. For
about five minutes the two plenlpoten-
tiarios were kept upon the )porch lls

Last cvcning, about 7 o’clock, the
foundation on the west side of the
residence of John W. Dakc, clerk for
the Water Commissioners. collapsed
with a crash and allowed the house to
lean decidedly to the west. The build-
ing is now in quite a precarious po
sltion as result of the accident. At
the time of the crash. George W. Duke
was down cellar and thought the whole
house was coming down on top of his
head. Only yesterday afternoon Mr.
Duke had a man at the house looking
over the foundation with a view to
strengthening it.

The damaged building is at No. 9
Elizabeth street. next to LeRoy Wheel-
er's residence. The Wheeler family
were considerably startled by the ac-
cident.
