walk and Building Lines Un-
der Discussion
In the course of the meeting of the
‘Norwalk City Council.. last evening.
there were many wordy wars, as well
as considerable business transacted.
Therewas a long discussion on the
matter of the proposed new store house
of Yanderhoef a Company. which is to
be built in Orchard street. it will be
remembered that at the meeting of
the Council held July 21st it was voted
that the company be given permission
to erect. the store house, but it must
be'no closer to the sidewalks than the
other buildings on the street.
All the other buildings are twenty
feet or more from the sidewalks, and
Vanderhoef & Company started their
cellar only four feet. from the walk.
The residents of the street did not like
this, and at last night's meeting a pe-
tition was read from Vanderltoef &
Company, requesting that the change
be granted them; also one from the
residents requesting that the building
be stopped and put on the line with the
other houses. .The latter petition was
granted. ,
After another argument it was de-
cided that the city engineer give the
residents of Armory Hill a line for a
sidewalk which they desire to build. al-
though the sidewalk is in South Nor.
walk. but the residents' houses are in
the City of Norwalk.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after 8 o’clock, and Mayor Sco-
field not being present. Councilman
Charles Dilworth was appointed chair-
man of the meeting.

Several of the residents have been
visited andineach case the small po-

all the nice big ones disappear.
These are accommodating thieves,
and are not afraid of work. for it is

Chief Engineer Clark Willing to
Be First Selectman—lain»
A. Brown Would Be Select-
man. or Town Tax Collector
—-Aifairs Citywiso
Stimulated b the national cam-
paign, local politics already are begin-
ning to bubble up thus early, and be-
twcen now and October election tilne,
there will probably be some interest-
ing developments, both city and town
wise. '
Yesterday Chief Harold F‘. Clark.
of the South Norwalk fire department.
came out and announced himself a
candidate for the office of selectman.
it will be a good job this year if a
South Norwalk Republican wins out.
for. according to the agreement which
has bed in force for several years, it
is South Norwalk's turn to have a
candidate for first seiectman for the
coming year. This year Alfrcd Avi~
son, of Norwalk, is first sclt'ctnian.
An interesting light may dcvclop, it
is said, over the nomination. Friends
of Former Selectman James A. BroWn
are coming to his aid, and are declar-
ing their preference for having him
again the. party‘s nominee. MI‘.‘BI‘OWII
has already served in the ofiicc. and
last your lost by only nine votes, John
Dcvino winning out from him.
it is confiidently expected that tho
Messrs. Avison and Device will both be
candiddes again this fall from Nor—
walk. Whom the South Norwalk Dem-
ocrats will nominate is not quite sct-
tied, although Councilman James T.
Powers is looming up as the strongest
candidate just now, outside of Select-
man William B. Rood. Selectman
Reed has been ill for several months.
and ii is doubled whether he would
agree to go into this fall election. If
is predicted, however. that he could
get the nomination, should he desire
it. Mr. Reed ran second highest, last
fall. on the selectmcn ticket. Alfred
Avlson received 1.348 votes. Mr. Reed
1,312, Mr. Devlne 1.288 and Mr. Brown.
who was defeated. 1.279, from which
it can be seen that the light was a
very close one all around.
The complexion of the selectman
situation in South Norwulk will hinge
considerably, it is expected. on the
nomination to be made for town tax
collector. Former Selectman Brown
has many supporters for tile Ilmlllllll'
lion. In Norwalk. William L. Guthrie.
nephew of the present collector, Sid~
ncy Guthrie, wants the office, and is
announced as the candidate. South
Norwalk Republicans feel that it is
about time this end of the town gets
a chance at the office. .
The Democrats of South Norwalk
arc enthusiastic over the renomina-
tion of Mayor Francis l. Burncll, and.
although he is not particularly keen
over the office, it is believed that he
would stand again. Councilman It‘. Ii.
Fitch and Former Councilman Harry

the most prominent candidates for the
nomination on the Republican side. it.
is believed that Councilman l). \‘i‘.

DISAGREEMENT AT 6. d. K. FAC-
TORY.
o...
Hat Finishers and Firm Fail to Agree
on Certain .ranoh cf the Work.
A minor disagreement with the com-
pany resulted in a shop cull among the
finish ‘ of the Crofut and Knapp hat
facto , yesterday, and the men are
still out.
A meeting was held at Central La-
bor Lyceum. in Washington street,
this morning, but no agreement was
reached, and the men will assemble at
the same place again tomorrow morn
ing.
The trouble, it was stated this morn-
ing. bot from the company and from
the dais rs. is not a serious one, and
it is not expected that the result will
be serious.
. The general bill of prices, as a
whole, was agreed upon a number oi
weeks ago but there were some lit.
tle details that. were never settled. It
is the. testing of one of these that. has
brought about the present shop call
among the batters.
The point is that the finishers should
do certain little work on a hat. after it
has left them and returned. The fin-
ishers decline to do this, and, hence
the shop call.
It was stated at the factory today
that about 260 finishers are 'tflected
by the call, and that the WhOll) factory,
ceasing the' operations of about 700
people, would shut down tomorrow, un-

SPRINGFIELD. ”1.. August 19.—
Convinced the danger of a renewal of
rioting is remote, Governor Deacon
last night ordcrcd home the First and
Fourth Regiments of Illinois Militia.
There still remains two thousand
troops to keep watch over the city.
Private Joseph N. Klein, of Com
pany A. is the only member of the
First Regiment who regrets the end
of field service. As soon as his active
service ends he will be liable to ar-
rest and trial in the civil courts at
Kanknkce on it charge of murder, the
result of the fatal stabbing’ of Earl
Nelson. it is probable Attorney Gen-
eral Stead will defend Klein. An tit-
tompt may be made to arrest Klein
when the train passes through Kallka-
kec on the way to Chicago.
There. was no violence of import-
ance in Springfield last night. The
disturbances were limited to vandal-
ism and several fist fights. in one of
these. a small crowd of white men and
boys out upon a negro and beat him
severely. Ho managed to brcak away,
and is said to h&\'(' left the city.
With the departure of two regi-
ments of infantry and the beginning
of the special grand jury's investiga-
tion of the recent riots, this city to-
day saw the first steps taken toward
a resumption of normal conditions.
The First and and Fourth Regiments,
which, together with the Eighth, are
scheduled to participate in the regular
army inanetlvres at Fort Benjamin
llarrison.‘ Indianapolis, early next
month, wore the organizations to be-
gin tho evacuation of the capital.
The Third and Fifth Regiments, in
addition to the First and Fourth which
left. today. will leave for their homes
tomorrow, reducing tno force of the
National Guard on duty here to about
1,500 men.
Riots are still threatening in certain
portions of the community, and it is
the troops here will be "stained in
practically certain that a portion of

The First Infantry left oaths ‘Clli’~

eted Earl Nelson while i e command
was en route to Springiie d. No oili-
cial of the state was willing to ac-
knowledge that the change in route
had been made because of the trouble
there. bill. it is broadly hinted that this
was one ofidhe determining factors in
the selection of the route to be trav-
eicd.
News of the departure of the troops
was carried into the. so-called “bad
lands" slid into the respectable negro
settlements by an Associated Press
correspondent. Some were excited by
the tidings, some appeared hopeless
and weary of the struggle, and others
declared their intentions of leaving
the city. Willi scarcely an exception
they expressed the opinion that more
trouble would follow the withdrawal
of the National Guardsmen. Ofilcers
to whom the expressions of the no
groan were related said that such fears
were almost groundless, and due to
the experiences through which they
had passed rather than to actual con-
ditions of the present. The force re-
maining. in conjunction with the depu-
ties and the police, will, they say, be
ample to protect every law abiding cit-
izen. The inquiry into the lynching

showed his willingness to mix it up,
but was floored with a. light punch on

ed a hard felt in the stomach and a.
terifllc overhand punch on the head.
Burke showed earl'y evidence of ii.
