This proposition has been before the
people on another occasion and has
been voted down. It has long been
apparent that Daricn voters consider-
cd their town of sufficient .lmportunce
to be a. Probate districtzby itself. in-
asmuch as many of the towns of Con-

that distinction. A petition. signed

sultcd in the rolling'of the special

attendance when the meeting was

The resolution whlch was passed

in an intcrcsting address dellverrd
last night at the First (‘ongrl'gatlonal
church in Norwalk. Reverend Anthony
Petr-13011. Bron-slant chaplain of Sing
Sing prison urged the community to
take a. greater Intercst in the welfare
of the younger generation.
"l‘rlmlnals are made stcp by step."
said Rev.” Peterson. "This can be
prenentcd if the community will only
take an ink-lest in boys that go wrong
and counsel and guide them. "
Probably the most interesting por-
tion of llcv. Peterson's address was
the story of a criminal. convicted of
murder. and who was to have been
electrocuted. After a long talk with
the man. Rev. Peterson declared that
he had become convinced of his inno-
cence. Fifteen minutes before the
time set for the electrocution. a re-
prieve was obtained from the gover—
nor. “An investigation of the man‘s
story proved it true and led to the
discovery of the real murderer who
confessed to the crime. The vividncss
with which this story was told held
the large congregation who attehded
the address enthralled.
clev. Peterson has spcnt five years
as chaplain at Sing Sing prison and is
familiar with the routine of the prison
work. In the beginning of his talk.
he described
Mott Osborn, former warden of Slng
Sing and the “'elfare lengiJe which is
composed of prisoners.
The chaplain told of the intimate
relations he had had with those con-
fined in the prison. He told‘how the
different men had accepted the mes;
sage from‘ the, Bible and how. those
who did. rarely came back to the pris-
on for a second term.
PE v Peterson described his work
1111 men condemned to death am!
told of the thincl which they had told
111m preflous to being led to the death
chair. He also delcrlbed the Sunday
services at the prloo'n.
In clam he urged that the com-
munity take a greater interest in the
of the younge; genenuon.

MARION 0.. Dec. lO—Beginning
his promised consultation with lead-
ing figures of the nation. President;
elect Harding had an appointment to-
day with Charles l< vans Hughes. Re-
publican presidential nominee in
1916 to talk over policies and pro-
posals of the coming administration.
Although it was understood that
plan for an association of nations had
prominent DTHCP in the conference,
the coming of Mr. Hughes Was gener-
ally regarded as having to do also
with various other problems. Many:
times recently his name has been
suggested for a Cabinet position and
the fact that he was the first to be
invited to the consultations here was
taken to mean that Mr. Harding
might desire hrs advice in framing of
