Norweik Ministers SenlaDele-
gallon to Bridgeport, Yester-
day. to Oppose the Granting
of a License to Captain A. 1.
Smith 0

The following article was printed in
the Bridgeport. Post, last night:

Shall Arming Smith, well known in
this city as an amusement caterer in
the good old summer time. have a li-
cense to sell spirituous and intoxicat-
ing liquors at Roton Point, Norwalk's
summer resort?

That is a question the county com-
missioners must decide in a few days.
The commissioners were in South Nor~
walk to hear the remoustrants tell why
they opposed the license. and other
good people speak in favor of it.

Ministers Give Reasons.

This morning the board had another
strenuous word time with a delega-
tion of Norwalk ministers, who are as
anxious to. shill up the homes of the
demon drink as the liquor men are to
start them.

The ministers had many more rea-
sons to give the commissioners, al-
though none of them were new. why
Captain Smith ought not to be allowed
to have. a license. After the long
talk, which extended well into the
lunch hour, the ministers left for
home. The commissioners are not yet
ready to announce their decision.

Petition in Smith's Favor..

If numbers count. then the commis-
sioners will grant the. license. When
the hearing opened ill South Norwalk
yesterday, Attorney John Keogh,for
Mr. Smith. handed in a monster peti-
tion in favor of beer at the seaside.

There were 847 names on the list,
all of which shows that Norwalk likes
to take a little something when going
summeriug. Those who are opposed
to the license numbered 137. Of the
first list. nearly all are voters, while
less than one-fourth of the remon-
strants cast ballots.

The petition in favor of granting
the license was the largest ever re-
ceived by the commissioners. it con-
tained the. names of many of the city
and town officials and other promi-
nent citizens of the dual city town.
Then there. were a few letters thrown
in to‘ help out.

“23 Opposed."

At the hearing. the figures favored
the. objectors. . Fifteen witnesses talk-
ed in favor of Captain smith. while 23
an ominous number. spoke against it.
There was a large delegation of wo-
men present, all anxious to 'say some-
thing against rum. They were sadly
disappointed when counsel agreed
that the commissioners might under-
stand that all the women were up-
posed to a license because they did
not think the summer resort as a suit-
able_place for selling wet stuff of an
intoxicating character. The. connois-
sioners looked relieved after this an-
nouncement.

at the Homeopathic Hospital today,
with the chances against his recovery.
W. J. Swan. of New Britain. Conn., the
other man injured who is at the AI-

Thus far there is only one death
chargeable to the accident, that of
Clarence McKenzie, 87 years old, of
New York_ president of the Standard
Brake. Company, who was instantly
killed.

The. collision occurred at a particu-
larly dangerous grade crossing of the
state road from the Berkshires and the
Albany and Hudson 'l‘hird Rail Elec-
tric Line.

The motor car came swiftly down a
rather steep grade so located as to
make it almost impossible to see the
approaching east-bound railway car;
which was coming up hill with a heavy
load at a good speed. The heavy an

Believe That the Town Should

stitute bill in the shape of an amend-
nent to the hill regarding the woman
'aclory inspector was offered in the
tennis today by Senator Potter, and it
)rovldes that the factory inspector ap-

point the woman to select the deputy.
The unfavorable report on the reso-

' ‘utlon incorporating the New Canaan

(line and Power Company causedsome
iebate and finally resulted in its being
ordered printed. Senator Chase expain-
ed-thut the price of power to main-
tain proper illumination was exorbi-
tant. Senator flutterworth spoke ag-
ainst the bill, but Senators MvGovern.
Blakesiee, Donovan and Gates spoke
'or it_ their argument being that if
‘he people of New Canaan und vici-
niiy wished to invest their own local
"apital in an attempt to better their
conditions they could see no reasons
why the legislature should hold it up.
Senator Luther said 1‘ was a serious
matter in principle in letting a rival
company into an alien town to compete
with a company well-established, but
if the citizens clearly show that they
cannot get what they want from the
company already there, he thought
their claim was it just one.

Detective McDonald this noon. when
to was ordering three supposed track-
'nen to leave. the premises of the rail-
road company.

The three men came down on the
train through the valley road, to which

tion the men got off and tried to in-
luce. any workmen thereabouts to stop
work. and they also threw out of the
car window from time to time copies
if the strikers' proclamation. When

the three men went to Sayhrook Point
and began to talk with the. men in
the gravel pit.

Chief McDonald who has been watch.

later they were taken before Justice

BRIDGEPORT. Juhe’ 7.—An impor-
tant meeting of the ’i‘goileymen's Uu-
ion was held late last night in larvery's
hall in the mat End .. when another
group of candidates was initiated and
other business of interest was trans-
acted. ’l‘he officials of the union say
that the membership has passed the
200 markaand there are only a very
few of the long service men who
haven't joined. ‘

Reports were read at the meeting
telling of the organization of a few
evenings ago of:a union in Derby
where 60 of the 54 motormeu and con-
ductors are said to have joined the
union at the first meeting. Unions
have also been formed at other points
of the Consolidated system. in Spring-
field, Worcester and other cities while
the organization of men in and about
South Norwalk, Waterbury and sev-
eral other cities is in progress.

While the members will not commit
themselves it Is pretty generally
known that before the summer is over
steps will be-taken to obtain from the
company better working conditions,
such as more wages. better hours and
a revision of the system of runs. The
local union claims that it. is just as
anxious to avoid a strike as is the com-
pany, but the members say that the
object will be.attalned peacefully. it
is altogether likely that a demand will
be made when the summer rush is on.

MANY DISOHARGES
FROM THE C. N. G.

Members of State Militia to the
Number of 700 Quit the Ser-
vice

 

 

 

Special Orders No. 113 from the of-
fice of Adjutant General Cole of the
Connecticut National Guard discharges
700 members of that organization. and
In so doing breaks all records for a
single order in this respect. Most of
the men are discharged for expiration
of term of service to date from May
31 or from date of reenlistment. if it
was not for the fact that many of the.
men thus given discharges have recu-
lislcd the Guard Would be seriously
depleted lil its ranks.

The reason for such a wholesale dls~
charge is found III the recently poss-
ed state law which in tho endeavor to
put the National nerd 0n as near
eqlliil n‘footlng as be regular army.
seeks to make th rvlce of the. men
more definite. Heretofore the'mcmbers
enlisting for three years could con-
tinue in service as long thereafter as
they desired; securing discharges on
30 days' notice at any time after the
three years expired. To make the en-
listment more definite the new law rc~
quires that each man must take a dis-
charge ut the end of his period of ser»
vice or else re~cnlist for another three
years. While the new law is said to
be unpopular with the. men as they
do not like in all cases to be tied
down for another threeycar period, it
is probable that the net loss will not
be large.

Majority of Committee Reported
Against it, but Adherents of
Bill Get it Referred Directly
to Committee on Appropria-
lions

 

Despite a slightly unfavorable ro-
porl by committee yesterday at Hart-
ford ou the. proposed technical school
for the Town of Norwalk. there is still
a big lighting clntnce for securing the
institution. The committee filed two
reports yesterday, one. of live against
the bill and a minority of four favor-
able to it.

Representative Gardner, of South-
ington, came to the rescue of the ad
herents of the bill and secured the
referring of the measure direct to the.
committee on appropriations.

This lucans that the whole subject
will be throshed out before the. latter
tribunal. Nothing is to be left undone.
in Norwalk to secure the passage of
the bill. A meeting of the original
committee, of which Arthur C. Wheel-
er is chairman, has already been call-
ed for next Monday night, to discuss
ways and means. Plans are on foot
to get together the biggest delegation
possible to go to Hartford and plead
the casc before the appropriations
committee III the strongest light.

The bill calling for the establish-
ment of the technical school in Nor-
walk was introduced by Representa-
tive William M. Low several months
ago. At the hearings before. the com-
mittee on education. following, pro-
minent men of the town including i]. J.
fiill and others, Were present and put
up a very strong arugment in its fa-
vor. This is shown by the fact that
the committee is almost equally divi-
ded us to a favorable or unfavorable
report. *

1f the bill passed the legislature. the
sum of $75,000 will be appropriated by
the state for the rection of the school
building on a lotto be presented by
the town. The state will further ap~
proprlalc $10,000 per your for the
school‘s maintenance.

Model Farm Report.

A noucommltlul report was also
submitted today by committee on the
bill introduced by Representative
Low, calling for the establishment of
a model birth in Fairfield county. This
bill will take the saute course as that
of the technical school building. that
is, Is to be put up directly to the
committee on apropriations.

The supporters of both measures
are very much elated at the progress
being made.

 

HOSPITAL FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

 

interesting Discussion Over Appropria-
tion for the Hartford Hospital.

llAil’l‘Fthll, June 7.—An interest-
ing discussion was precipitated today
in tthionsu when the bill making an
appropriation for the Hartford Hospi-
llll for the maintenance of its tuber~
culosis cases, was taken from the cal-
cudar. The original bill asked for
$50,000. The committee on appropria-
tions, however, reported a substitute
blll making the amount $30,000. Rep-
resentative Smith. of Hartford, who
has made a study of tuberculosis. pre-
sented an amendment to the substitute
bill, making tho appropriation $50,000
as originally planned and providing 88
a. week from the state for each pa-
tient, the same to be. paid out of the
appropriation of $50,000. Represents:

gave an interesting talk on the disease
and said he had found that ninety per
cent. of the cases in Hartford was
among the poor people. Much among
the remainder was in the middle class
and very little among the well-to-do.
The actual cost per week of treatment
at Cedar Mountain Hospital was 813.
if this amendment was passed the poor
people would receive the full course
of treatment at $5 a week. When he

MAYNARD, Muss, June 7.——Thc ex-
plosion of 200 pounds of blasting pow-
der in a magazine at. the plant of the
American Powder Company here, cur-
ly today, caused a second explosion in

 

 

another magazine and later a fire
which threatened the twenty small

fighting the blaze was put. under con

The flames caused by the explosion

buildings and many small explosions
Werc heard at intervals during the
time the firemen were at work. The
force of the concussion was heard for

and houses shaken, violently within a
radius of half a tulle. There are no

explosion is not kuotlvn, and it is not
