The Revs. George D. Egbert. Char-
les Maciarland. H. B. Carpenter, Frank
, D. Torrey, W. W. '1‘. Duncan and Pro-
secutor William 0. Clark called on the
County Commissioners at their office
_ in Bridgeport yesterday noon. to con-
fer with them t‘brther relative to the
saloon situation in Norwalk. The Corn.
missioners assured the clergyman po-
sitively that the Silcox and Sweeney
application would be denied and gave
them -to understand that the lancbak
saloon on Day street. would be discon-
tinued. Other licenses have been
held up until the applicants complied
with the law, and in some instances
‘ may be denied If the Prosecutor so re
commends. This with the complete
removal .of the booths which have oc-
casioned such immorrlity. and as- to
even the Illegallty of which the Com-
missioners Were not agreed when the
mlnistersfirst visited them some
weeks ago, is a decided victory for
morals and temperance-in the Town.
' One of the most important features
of the interview yesterday waslthe
positive Insurance that saloon keep-
ers would'endanger their licenses by
any violation of'the law during the
present license year. After a leng-
thy discussion in which the ministers
secured from the Commissioners a de-
finition oftheir attitude toward con-
victed saloon keepers, the latter stated
that the entire responsibility lay with
the TownJudge. The law provides
that a convicted saloon keeper shall
upon conviction have his license re
voked. This law provides however.
that if the Judge trying the case shall
give a certificate of exemption the li-
cense may be continued. The reason
that numerous saloon keepers convict-
ed last winter did not forfeit their lic-
enses was that Judge Joseph R. Taylor
issued certifies s to the effect that
the licenses an .d .not be revoked.
This action of. c do ‘has been or
oused on the ground that it is the uni-
versal custom and has grown into a
judicial precedent. ‘ The Corgmission-
t ves owner.
._. e’cf em excuse, and
' claim t at the Judge'lii‘fitihct on each
case according to the evidence and
only recommend the continuance of
the license where the offence has not
been given;
An interesting part of the interview
was the attempt of the Commissioners
to defeat their action in granting lic-
enses to men against whom such pres-
umption of-morsl unfltness prevailed.
Dr. Charles S. Macfarland. pastor of
the South Norwalk Congregational
Church made a very strong statement
on this point. He told the Com
missioners that as a stranger in Town
he had felt it necessary to make some
original investigations In order that
he might intelligently cooperate with
his ministerial brethercn. Accordingly
he had secured some firslrhnnd Infor-
mation us to the character of some of
the local saloons. As the result of
this investigation he has come to the
conclusion that some of the saloon
keepers of this Town were below the
average of saloon keepers in general,
even though the ethical standard of
saloon keepers as a class was not very
high. lic compelled the Commis-
sloncrs to admit that iho very exis-
tence oi the booths won a presumption
against their moral character of tho
snlmm keepers. The defense of the
Commissioners at this point seemed
to the Minisleru eminently wcnk. One
Commissioner told of his visit to u salv
oon which had been cleaned up in an-
ticipation of his coming. and of a
subsequent unexpected visit. which had
revealed revolting Inmortulily. This
license had been revoked.
Another Commissioner told of a vi-
sit to a saloon In which the saloon
keeper and his wife were just gather-
ing up the money which evidently had
been secured by lawless practice that
they might take It to the bank. The
license however for this saloon was
granted. The ministers contended that
these very inllnnceu,whlch Ihc Gom-
mlsuioneru themselves reported creab
ed a nulilclent presumption against the
saimms in general in require a much
more intelligent. and thorough supor-
vluion of the salolm business in this
Town than the Commissioners had gi-
ven In recent years. They defended
their apparent laxity on the ground
that the saloon keepers its a class
were foreigners. and had no argument
against the contention of the minis-
lors that this very. fact called for I
more insistent requirement that only
men of good repu tion and known res.
poet for the law licensed.
The ministers ire well planned with
the result of their nation. and while
they thanked the ommiuioners for
the response the had given assured
them that. they a no intention of
dropping the platter but unlimited to
hold then: mepouuibic for the (mild:

nal side of the common pleas court.
to which it ,went on an appeal from a
fine of something like $7 and costs for
cruelty to animals.
Captain Ducross did not care about
the fine, but he hated to he flayed be-
fore the good people of the community
In which he lives as a man who would
be cruel even to a fly. He argued that
it was not cruelty to a turtle to punc-
ture his flippers. arguing that there
was no feeling in the flippers any more
than there was in a horse's hoof, but
how could he expect the landlubbers to
know _that?
What did they know about turtles
anyway. except possibly the mud vari-
ety which frequent the woods back of
the town? That kind of a shell game
did. not go with him at all and be ap-
pealed, as was his right. and while he
has not been vindicated In quite so
wholesale a manner possibly as he
could desire, still he has been dis-
charged on a nolle.
While all the muss was being kicked
up over the alleged cruelty to animals
and the captain was debating whether
to raise the defense that the sea turtle
was not an “animal" in the meaning
of the statute, but a bug, the turtle
thought It was a good chance to miss
getting into a stew and one dark night
it quietly slipped its tether, and hit out
at one-turtle power for the Gulf stream
and sunny Florida where it had an ap-
pointment to spend the winter along
the beautiful white beaches In the
warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

City of Normik Villas to Ex-
pand $25000, and Will Issue
25-40%» bonds. Bearing
4 percent. Interest to Pay
for Same
Without a single dissenting voice
the special meeting of the city of Nor-
wslk. last night. voted to authorlcd
the construction of $35,000 worth of
new sewers. To pay for the new sew-
ers. it was voted to issue 25-30 year
bonds, bearing interest at the rate of
four per cent. annually and payable
semi-annually.
Corporation Counsel John J. Walsh
had ready for the meeting a list of
sewers upon which estimates had been
secured, aggregating over $27,000. and
it was left to the discretion of the city
council where the additional sewers. to
cover the 336.000 shall be built,
Previous to the passage of the reso-
lution to issue the bonds. it was voted
to rescind the sewer resolutions pass-
ed by the city meeting‘of a few weeks
ago. At that time $12,000 worth of
sewers were voted for. and a special
tax of two and one-quarter mills to
pay for them was laid. A day or two
afterward a petition for a special meet-
lng to rescind the sewer voice was
circulated. Other people began to
clamor for sewers. and finally the bond
idea was formulated.
City Attorney Walsh stated that the
matter did not originate with the coun-
cil. but was brought to the latter's st—
tentiou ,by taxpayers. who believe they
were equally entitled to sewers as
people for whom the other city meet-
ing had granted the necessity.
The estimates so far completed. for
the new sewers. as read by Mr. Walsh,
are as follows:

Mr. Walsh slated In connection with
ihc new sewer campaign that inas-
much an the whole city had paid for
the sewer system it was not fair in
sinuous bemfits and damages for new
sewers.
Upon suggestion of eaiiilsyor i-‘cr-
dinund B. Smith it was voted to make
tho new bonds optional puymcni at
25 years and maturing at the latest
in 30 years. that the interest be at
the rate of 4 per cent. and payable
semi-annually.
The Franco stroci sewer. which was
among the sewers authorised at the
meeting of several weeks ago. has al-
ready been started. The cost of It
will be 8300. but this matter will be
taken care of by the city council.

that the movement for Immigration
southward has assumed tangible shape
Isslforded by arrangements just made
between the Southern Development
Company. of this city, and the South
settle 1.365 acres of land in north
man families.
With a view to promoting Immigra-
tion from foreign countries to Georgia
and the adjoining states. the Georgian
immigration Association has been or-
ganized in Savannah. C. Gunby Jor-
dan, president of the largest cotton
mills in this cty. presdod at the meet-
ing and was elected vice president and
treasurer. In an address before the
convention, Mr. Jordan reviewed the
labor coudltlons in the south. showing
the need for additional help, especial-
ly in the cotton mills and farm fields.
He said the cost of living was so much
cheaper In Georgia than In New Eus-
landthut emigrants could easily be
induced to come here and settle.
Even in Columbus where the cotton
mill operativos live under the most
favorable condition, receiving liberal
wages. all the mills are handicapped
by an inadequate labor supply. Not
until recently have the industrial and
agricultural interests of this section
been sufficiently advanced to support
an additional population. But at pres-
ent there Is not only room for more.
but a positive demand.
it was determined at the Savannah
convention to raise 850.000 to be ex-
pended in the prosecution of Immigra-
ilon Work. Owing to the great de-
mand for immigrants In the farming
country around Columbus and in the
cotton factories and large industries
In the city. a movement was also
started to make Savannah a direct
port of immigration. so that newcom-
ers of the better class can he landed at
that point and brought direct to their
future homes in this section of the
state.

were rushing to the scene to search for
the burglars. But the few mniutes

investigation showed that the bur-
glars gained entrance to the house by
sawing an inch thick iron bar which
hold a gate which guarded thebuo
ment door and then cutting out the
glass panel of the door. A large
amount of gold and silver plate in the
dining room had been gathered and
tied up in two compact bundles. but in
their flight from the house the men
did not have time to take their booty
with them. So far as can be learned
the only reward they gained” for their
desperate act was a few mouthful.
