John 5A.‘ Dowd .of- Bu-
reafi of Investigation
at Work on Gilpat-
ric’s Affairs
PUTNAM. Aug. 25.——-Though the
people of Putnam would welcomes.
week-end of rest from the disturb-
ing elements which G. Harold Gil~'
patric introduced into their orderly
life when he wrecked their favored
bank and attempted to kill hknself.
they had no prospect of it today
with two opposing;moves on their
hands to establish banlting facilities
for the crippled town.
The protective committee appoint-
ed by the stockholders of the old
First National Bank and headed by
State Banking Commissioner' John
B. Byrne met with eRceiver George.
W.I Coffin Saturday afternoon. with
a view to enlisting his co~operatlon
in providing information on which
the stockholders can base definite
action in rcorganizating their shat-
tered bank. As this was being pro-
mised by Mr. Coffin. Chairman Mah-
ion H. Geissler of the Citizens' Na-
tional Bank committee issued the
following statement to the press:
"The organization of the new Citi-
aens' National Bank of Putnam. to-
gether with the subscription of capl-
tal stock. is proceeding as rapidly as
possible. Practically 8200.000 in sub-
scriptions have been received up to
noon today."
Delay Not Desired.
Putnam, then, must decide. and
decide quickly. which bank it wants.
It favors the establishment of the
new. not from preference. but from
expediency. As the affairs of Gil—
patric multiply in their ramifications
and tangles and increase the length
of time before it is possible to settle
the business of the old bank. it be-
comes only too evident that it may
be months before the old bank could
resume. For this reason. there is a.
growing resentment of the new Citi-
zens’ National Bank.
Dowd's Investigation-
In connection with the investiga-
tion made by John A. Dowd of the
department of Justice, into the af-
fairs of Mr. Giipatric as a basis of
criminal prosecution against him in
September. it is understood that in-
quiry is being made into the manner
in which the board of directors of
the First National Bank‘co-operated
or failed to co-operate in bearingthe
burdens and responsibilities incident
to the conduct of the busness.of'the
bank. ,
That. the First National was
known as s. "one-man" bank has
been definitely established. But in
some quarters it is questioned
whether or not this was entirely
satisfactory to Mr. Gilpatric. In
other words, friends have come for-
ward with the declaration.that ho
was not altogether-satisfied that the
entire responsibility should be put
on his shoulders. _ _
0n the other hand. friends of the
directors assert that Gilpatric ag-
gressively assumed the 'controi of-
the bank and the leading financial
role in the town.~ _ _

had
under
The officer of the dirlgible
just discovered Billy hiding
the table.
At this moment Billy decided to
come out and go through the door
the officer was holding open.
“’hen the officer saw a bog. white
.goat rising from under the table he
was so frightened that his legs shook
together and he pulled the door shut.
By this time Billy was going too fast
to slow down. so when his head hit
the door he simply went through it
as if it had been made of paper.
The noise of the splintering door
brought the officer to his senses. and
he called for help. but no one heard
hem. He was about to so to see
where everybody was when the
swinging door to the kitchen flew
open and in rolled a yeiping ball of
string.‘At the same moment he spied
Button staring down at him. He
simply turned and fled‘ to his berth
where he cgvercd up his head so he
could not see things, for he was ful~
ly donvincedhe was seeing things
not of flesh and blood.
When Stubby in his mad rolling
came. to the door Billy had butted
through. he bounded through the
hole as a rubber ball might, and
went bounding down the long nar-
now*passage - until he came up
against a wall in a dark closet. as
he supposed. But in reality he had
rolled through an open door into
the stateroom‘of the officer who
had fled fronyBli’tton and Billy, and
had Stubby only known it at that
very moment he was under his berth;
While .all this had been taking
place. the dirigible was fast descend-
ing'toward its home hangar. and in
a few minutesvthey yvould be down
to‘the earth again..And it was a
good thing-for the chums that they
were. for When Billy was discovered
by the Captain he ordered him
thrown overboard with the dog and
cat. But if you think itpan easy mat;
ter to catch as big and'strong'a goat
as Billy with the fighting propensi-
ties he’llld and two lively: animals

could pitch hi overboard. but he

IN DRY. CRUSADE
[N WATERBURY
Investigators H3a v e
Perfect . Record So
Far in Action in the
Brass City
“'ATERBL‘RY, Aug. 25. -— What
is the next move on the part of
State‘s Attorney L. L. Lewis and
members of the Law Enforcement
League, who have been instrumental
in initiating the greatest liquor clean
up in the history of Waterbury?
Eighteen - out of a possible nine-
teen have been convicted'and fined.
The nineteenth case. that
has been taken
under consideration and a decision
will be announced on September 6.
The accused. is a young «ix-service
man. whose counsel has entered a
plea of guilty. but‘flflno has asked
ing to‘the fact that he is threaten-
ed wilh a very serious illness as
a result of being gased while over-
seas. ’
From the results to date the four
investigators rated a. percentage of
1.000. a perfect performance,, but.
it is understood locally that promi—
nent members of the Law Enforce?
ment League are insistent ‘thatth'e:
fines be made more severe and Hunt
fewer jail sentences be suspended.
P. Hayes made several assessments
of 8300 each on a single: charge
and refused to hspend the jail
sentence in_three. In the thirteen
cases tried in police court Friday
morning Judge John F.'McGrath
levied $50 and $100 and costs for
single charges. The lines averaged
8300 s. case on three and four
counts. Only one man. alsecond‘
"timer" was sent to :fiil for ten
days. "
Many persons feel that the state
has accomplished its purpose in its
crusade and has impressed upon the
minds of a score and more accused
that is means business. Between
thirty and forty warrants are yet
to be‘ served. Some of the most
persistent members of the Law-En-
forcement League. while not dues-r
tloning the Judgment of either Judge
Hayes or Judge McGrathfeel dis-
appointed that the iines were not
heavier and that ionger' jail sen-
tences without suspensions were.not
meted out. Judgingbyfihe attitude
