FINNEY NAMED
. DEPUTY JUDGE
6TH DISTRICT
VALIDATION ACT
GETS A HEARING
The validity of various matters
transacted 'by the Sixth District com-
missioners. elected ill October. 1923.
came before the Judiciary committee
at Hartford yesterday. when Corpor-
ation Counsel John J. (‘unco. and
William F. Tammany appeared in
favor of the Validation act. Attor-
ney Cuneo represented the city. and
Judge Tammany the Sixth District
commissioners.
The question raises many delicate
points which have not yet been de-
finitely determined. The hearing
was continued by the committee. to
allow Edward B. Quinlan. counsel
be heard.
Mr. Cunco stated that the action
went back to the creation of the
Sixth Taxing district. “'hen the act
was passed. it was found that cauo
cuses and nominations could not be
made in time for the date of elec-
tion specified by the bill. so the
elections. contrary to the bill. were
allowed to go over until the regular
October elections. ‘
An injunction was sought by sev-
eral taxpayers and voters through
Attorney Quinlan. showing that the
election was illegal. Before this was
asked. however. many matters had
been transacted by the commission-
ers. It is claimed that if the elec-
tion was illegal. all the business
transacted was illegal.
The purpose of the Validation act.
is to legalize both the election and
the act of the commissioners. Ac-
cording to Mr. Cuneo this is the only
course left open that would not in-
cur expensive litigation and whole-
sale revocation of Sixth District leg-
lsiation.

STATE CAPITOL, Hartford. Mar.
12.—A‘ resolution was adopted mak—
ing \V. M. Finney. deputy Judge at
Greenwich to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Judge Ferris. who
also was a. member of the house.
No election to fill Mr. Ferris' seat
will be held in Greenwich and while
the statutes require an election this
is now being met by a bill which
would exempt Greenwich from a
special election at this time.
The governor's nominations of
Frank V. Chappeli. of New London.
and Christopher L. Avery. of Crown.
and Myron R. Durham. of New Hu-
wan. to be members of the state com-
missions on rivers. harbors and
bridges were confirmed.
The senate sent back to the com-
mittee the bill to give the tax com-
missioner additional power. This had
been the action of the house but the
senate last week receIVcd the favor-
able report. and sent the bill to the
calendar. When called up today Sen-
ator \Vaicott of the finance commit-
tee. moved its recommital in con-
currence. which was done. A defici-
ency approrlation bill for 82,000 to
meet expenses of the governor's of-
fices the last two years was adopted.
A bill to provide for free kinder-
sartens in school districts was re-
jected on an advcre report. On desks
had been distributed blotters. issued
by a national kindergarten assocln~
tion. which bore the legend “we
know you are going to vote for kin-

"There have been five church
buildings in the history. Three of
these stood on East. avenue. the
first of all near the present Eas‘t

road. opposite or nearly opposite the
bowider erected by the Daughters of
the American Revolution at the
junction of the road to Soutltport
with East avenue. It is to be remem-
bored that the church was a town
institution for many years. support-
ed by town funds. and governed
through town meetings. It is curious
to notice in the town records how
provisions for maintaining a pound.

that some time thereafter. this same
Ralph Kceier had the contract not

for providing a. place in which to

use until 1717 when the matter of a
new building was agitated. The stat-
ed quarrel arose. but at this timo it
was centered about the question of
whether there should be a new
church at all or whether the old one
should be repaired. The vote was
close. being taken somewhat after
parliamentary fashion. a. division

“'a now reach the period from
which dates the organization of this
ecclesiastical society as a soperate
organisation. This was precipitated
by a bitter dimension that arose in
connection with the then pastor. the
Rev. Stephen Buckingham. He was
accusediof very serious misdoings.
but he had his supporters. though I
should Judge from the tons of the
records. these rapidly fell away
from him. until he found it wise to
resign. Three days after his resig-
nation the Prime Ancient Society in
Norwalk was organized; the first
minister of the new parish being Dr.
Burnett. The church continued to
use the old meeting house which.
by the way, contained the old pul-
pit presented to the new organiza-
tion by vote of the town. In the
heat of the Revolutionary War. Dr.
Burnett died. and when General Ty-
ron burned Norwalk. the meeting
house was dutroyed. It was not
until 1790 that the fourth building
was completed. and though its erec-
tion was over a century ago. we are
brought very close to it ly the fact

The Old Church
Rev. Mr. Eglert went. on to des-
:‘ribe the church which was destroy-
ed by fire in 191‘: and which is re-
placed by the new church.
"The present church was built in
the late forties on the ground prev-
iously occupied by the residence of
Mr. Levi Clark. This building has
seen few important change-s. it was
thoroughly redecorated during the
pastorate of Mr. Hamilton. the or-
sun had already been introduced in
the gallery over the vestibule dur-
ing Dr Childs' pastorage, and was
removed from its present position
when the chapel was built.
“\‘Vo are now ready to notice that
while there have been five buildings.
there have ministered in this parish.

tors. not including the present

the average length of the pastorage.
a splendid record. The longest pas-
torate was that of Mr. Dickinson.
who died in 17? in his 33rd year.
after having been pastor for fifty-
one years. The shortest pastorate
was that? of Mr. Henry Benedict.
who ‘vvns dismissed after serving the
church for four years. To the
names of the regular pit-tors as
found in the manual should be ad-
ded Mr. Dunham. a young man who
did splendid work during a year's
service. Dr. Piummer. previously of
Richmond. Virginia. who while ro-
nlarkallly effective. was unfortunate
in having been associated in the
minds of the people with secession
and therefore found his later minis-
try not acceptable to a large portion:

pulpit power. under whom many of
the present members of the church

would be difficult in this long list
of pastors to single out any as pe-
culiarly worthy of mention. Dr.
Hall was perhaps the nblest theol-
ogian and he had a large reputation.
filling the high position of Professor
in Auburn Seminary."
In a vein of humor. Rev. Mr. Eg-
bert says:
"“‘hilo Dr. Hall was so eminent a
scholar. it should be added he must
have also been eminent as an ad-
ministrator. for a man who can
bring up six children on a salary for
years of not over $800 a year. give
them all a decent education. and a
son a college education. must have
been a genius ill other ways than
philosophizing. Ono meets the hints

ing Ex-Husband
LONDON, March 12.—"To my
there was a calculated bargain for
her husband's military prefermcm
with General Sir John Cuwans is a
lie. It is a case of a wilful. impetu.
ous. pleasure loving wtte over Whom .
the husband had no control '
vocaliso
he was lamentaoly wean.“
This was the substance of Col. Ian
Dennistoun's defense as presented to
the court yesterday by Norman Bir-
kett in opening the Colonel's case
He sought to represent Mrs. Doroth)
Muriel Dennlstoun in the light of n‘
woman who had made no sacrlfit‘t-
in herghusband‘s utterests “‘hlle shv
was with him. out that when he had
married the wealthy and titled Coun~
less Carnarvon shc entered claims
against him based on a di\orce,
agreement which did not t'xlsi. ‘
Not a Free. Agent. I
"Col. Dennisioun will testify." Slilfl
Birkett. "that Mrs. Dcnnlstouu knuw
every piece of money he had “'35
given him by Lady Carnarvon uln.’
that whatever his dLSll‘e might bn,
he wa- not a tree agent. it would_
be strange if monr‘y from a new
wife were to be handed oxer to a
wife who had gone to another man: .
Birkett dilated upon the painful
position of Lady Carllsrvon. saying;
“There is only one way to descril-e
what the defendant and Lady Car-
narvon have passed through in the
past ten days—it has been unspeak-
able anguish.
"The Jury may ask why this case
is here. when payment by Lady Car-
narvon or perhaps less than she has
expended in the defense might ha\e
meant there would have been no'
cdium. no daily anguish of seeing
columns in the newspapers on tile
matter.
So Legal Claim. _
"The reason is that there never
was any legal clalm. Mrs. Dennisloun
admits having lived with Gen. Sir:
John Cowans from 1916 to 192u. and
living in the early part of 1921 with}
the Spaniard Bolin and that early}
in 1921 she expected to become a
mother. _ I
“The colonei's view is that if hel
gave way to this inxented claim hci
would never be free from demands‘
from all quarters. So Colonel Den- I
nistoun and Lady Carnarvon decided
to take their present and their fu-:
turo in their hands and “ht this;
(use in order that they shall have no f
further demands."
