“PEEPING TOM;
AGAIN AGIIVE

The Norwalk Police department to-
day is scouring the city and vicinity
in an endeavor to identify and ap-
prehend “Peeping Tom". the creature
whose sole delight is peeping into
peaceful homes in the dead of night.
For the fourth time in as many weeks.
"Peeping Tom" was sighted last night
engaged in his obnoxious occupation.

A report that a man was standing
in the front yard of the home of
William Lauder, 87 France street.
peeping in the front widow was made
shortly before mid-night at the First
District Police station. Patrolman J.
Dorney and Charles I". Page hurried
to the Lauder home. but the man had
disappeared. For hours. the two
policemen scoured the streets for
trace of the man,: supposed to be a
degenerate. without sum

On three previous. occasions. sim-
ilar happenings were reported to the
police by Rev. Louis B. Howell, rec-
tor of St. Paul's Episcopal church. As
last night, in each case the intruder
was able to make a successful get.-

way.

PAPER MILL
STRIKE Will.
.. 'BE BITTER ONE

Prospects Point to a “Finish
Fight”-—‘Company Official
Issues Statement.

Prospects am that the strike of the
employee of the St. George Paper
Mill, Smith street, will be a. fight to
the finish. This was indicated this
morning when the employee held a
general mass .meeting and organised
for a long period strike. and by a
statement made by Charles A. Mun
phy. assistant manager of the com-
pany. to the effect “that there would
be no compromise between the com
corn and its striking employee."

The mass meeting was held in
Eagles' hall, and was closed to out-
siders. It is understood. (however.
that the strikers were addressed by
organisers of the Interndtional Pa-
per Workers‘ association. It is known
that New York officials of the asso-
ciation are expected to arrive in Nor-
walk to handle the local situation.

The strikers have not made public
the demands made on the St. George
Paper company; Murphy has stated
that the strikers have not made any
demands insofar as he knows. It has
been learned by The Evening Sen-
tinel, however. that fig striking em-
ployee have asked or ill as]; for an
increase of approximately 20 per
cent. over the present wage scale.

 

 

Manager Murphy in an interview
said:
"Paper m kers' wages are deter-

mined by t classification of the
machine wh h they operate. Fourd-
rinier machines are classified accord-
ing to the width of the couch in in-
ches and the maximum speed in feet
per minute at which the machine is
maintained. This machine with a
width of 144 inches at the couch and
a. maximum speed of 475 feet per
minute comes within the limits of
class No. 11. This is undebatable.

"It has been and will eontinue to
be the policy of this company to pay
the standard minimum wage scale
commonly accepted among news print
manufacturers and their employee
applying to machines in class No. 11
and whenever possible it has been our
policy to pay above the scale to faith-
ful and conscientious employee whom
we might consider worthy. At the
present time more than 50 per cent.
of our employee are paid over the
scale.

One for the Cuff

"The largest registration we have
had in years up to May I.” said
Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith
morning. in speaking of the registra-
tion of dogs for Norwaik. This year
1.146 dogs were registered up to 7:00
p. m. and 12 kennels. ,Today the
penalty of 81 is added to all late
registrations.

The tendency of giving such names
as "Pershing," “Foch" and other
war-time household terms to canine
pets. has changed with the passing of
years, and the return of such good
old stand-bys as "Rover." "Fido."
“Nellie." etc.. is noted in the list of
names. There is practically i tend-
ancy on the part of local dog owners
to give the names .of cartoon charac-
ters to ther pets. as has been the
case in oth r cities. although one dog
owner herel' who contemed he owned
a "plain mutt" named it “Spark
Plug."

The glare from burning barns. ice on

Official Washington hm
coeding Cautio‘usly on
Interpretation.

WASHINGTON. May t—Govern-
ment officials continued today to feel
their way toward ‘t satisfactory ad-
justment of the difficulties faced in
applying the supreme court's inter-
'pretation of the dry low as prohib—
iting the carrying of liquor by any
ship within the three mile none of the
United States territorial waters.
Attorney General 'Daughtery ”hag
announced that the supreme court
mandate. becoming effective within so
days from the handing down of the
decision Monday, wfll be enforced
vigorously. adding the opini’on that
several complex questions in prohibi-
tion enforcement had been consider-
ably clarified by the decision.

Not only has the court's decision
definitely established that no intoxi-
cating liquor can be brought within
three miles of the nation’s shores Mr.
Daughtery said. but its interpretation
of the term "transportation" and "im.

portatlon" will make for more rigid
enforcement generally.
As to the government's policy re-

garding liquor serving on shipping
board vessels in view 'of the eetab~
lished right of American ships to
carry liquor outside the three mile
limit. on the basis of indications giv-
en by Chairman Lasker after confer-
ing with President Harding yesterday,
it appeared probable that the govern-
ment fleet would remain dry.

perintcndent to Act on
Bequest of League.

The Board of Education, at its
regular monthly meeting held last
night at the Nor-walk High school
instructed Superintendent of Schools
G. V. Buchanan to investigate the
matter of defective or- deficient pupils
attending the Norwalk Public schools.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the Board of Education in a
letter received from the Welfare com-
mittee of the Home and School league.
Superintendent Buchanan was asked
to report at the next session of the
board.

In its communication, the Home
and School League committee pointed
out that in the pest classes for defec-
tive pupils had been conducted by the
Board of Education. These classes
were discontinued during the present
year and the committee asked that
thQ be resumed.
The Welfarecommittee also point-
ed out that the Board of Education
had not filled the vacancy open for a
school nurse. The committee stated
that they felt that-this position should
be filled immediatery because ‘of its
importance.

A slight "verbal fray," reminiscent
of ,days of yore. broke forth when Mrs.
George F. ‘Betts, member on the
board, suggested that the Welfare
committee of the Home and School
league be asked to investigate the de-
fective school children stluatlon along
with Superintendent Buchanan ' Dr.
William J. Traeey‘objected stream

thought that~the superman ht was
perfectly competent to conduct the
investigation. ' Mrs. P. w. Brooks
skheiith leaflets that the Home
and (sheet League should'be am ' to
co-operate with the board in this
matter. The matter was settled when
it was generallrjasr'eod that Superin-
tenden Buchan could askgfor what-
ever outside at and co-operation he
might need. '

The rest of the session was given
over to routine matters. The Build.
ing committee reported the gutters at
the Knudsen school had been repair-
ed: that a roof at the Fitch school
fixed: that a break in the water main
at Lincoln school remedied and that
the grounds at the North Center
school were being cleaned up. The
committee also reported that the peo.
ple living in the vicinity of the lattetI~
school were planting a hedge around
the property.

Miss Gladys E. Thompkins, physical

director, was given permission to hold
a physical entertainment at the Nor-
walk Armory on Friday. June 1. Pu-
pils of all schools will take part in
the program which will be free to the
public; the board having allowed
funds to meet expenditures necessary
to stage the' affair.
The board voted to grant David
Brennan, a. senior at the High school
his diploma upon the completion of
certain work and passing satisfactory
examinations. Bfem is to leave
school next week to take a position
with the Standard Oil mpany in
New York city and desired the diplo-
ma in order to study at Columbia
