As the guest of honor, he told the
i banoucters thntitheir recently re-
modelled building is a credit to the
‘ city and an ornament to the com-
munity. He follows the praise with
the remark that in addition to thou-
sands of representative citizens in
the order throughout the world there
are still other men who possess all
the qualities of Elkdom, and he ap-
pealed to the Norwalk men to cele-

bers he said: "There is no man so
good that the order will not make

Long Awaited Clash Comes
Between Wayne color
and Senator “Jim’ Reed.
WASHINGTON. D. 0.. June 17
(APE—Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel of the Anti-Saloon League
faced Senator Reed of Mlstouri, to-
day beforc the senate tiampaign
fund committee in a spectacular
battle of words our Wheeler‘s pub-
lic charges of expenditures by the
“liquor interests" in Pennsylvania's
$2,000,000 Republican primaries.
The long awaited. clash‘ of wits
between the dry leader and the fiery
Missourian. a consistent fo‘e of the
Anti-Saloon league and its prohibi-
tion policies. brought an overflowing
crowd to the big committee room
and provided a. breathless cilimax to
the committee's colorful inquiry into
Pennsylvania politics. ;
At the outset Reed warmed him
that he “had better cancel" ‘other
engagements for the morning as the
committee had considerable business
to transact with him.
After bringing out that Wheeler
was born in Ohio. 56 years ago,
Rated asked:
“What salary do you get?"
“8660 nmonth."
“How long have drawn it?"
“Four or five years."
"What did you get before that?"
“87,000."
“What was your first salary with
the league?" ,
$100 a. mouth and sometimes I
did not get that." ‘
“When did you start with the
league?"
"in June, 1804."
He at first only made speeches
for the league while he was in col-
lege, and got only his expos es.
"The first four or five years of the
right were very difficult." Wheeler
said. "and funds were slow in com-
ing in and sometimes the speakers
returned part of their salaries to
make up the deficit."
He figured that in the early years
he received about asssa month plus
expenses while on the ready ‘
“What salary were you getting in
1807?" Reed asked. ,
"I can't recall, ethniieiy. 1 think
it was 8160»,or $200 a month.”

PLANS CHANGE,
AND WATER ST.
cn_s_i_>ivuc
The lower end of Water street
will be paved instead of Haviland
street, providing the board of esti-
mate and taxation make the appro-
priation at its present session.
At the meeting of the council
Tuesday evening it was voted to re-
quest the board of estimate to ap-
propriate money for this work and
included it in the budget instead of
Haviland street.
The council believes that more
good can be accomplished by pav-
ing this section of Water street than
paving, Haviland street. When this
section is paved it will give_Wster~
street an ideal road for its entire
length and this roadway will be
used a great deal more. It will re-
lieve South Main street of much
traffic going to East Norwaik and
Washington street.
The paving of Havilniid street will
be left over until next years.

Advantages Of H i g h e r
Classification Discussed
Last Evening ‘-- Would
Mean Paid Executive.
The possibility of Norwalk's Boy
Scout council being in the first class,
with a paid executive, was the sub-
ject for much discussion at the
meeting of the council. in the South
Norwnlk Library building, inst eve-
ning. Mr. Severance. from the reg-
ional headquarters in Boston, was
present and told of the advantages
of a ilrst class rating. Norwnlk
council is now second class. The
members of the council ihcn dis-
cussed the question. There would
be ii. paid executive in charge of
Norwnlk's scouts. which would
mean a much closer connection with
regional headquarters.
The matter was left pending until
a complete study is made of Nor-
walk conditions, by representatives
from scout headquarters. There
would be much expense attached to
a first class ruling. but Norwalk will
soon have to enter that class. for
when. the second class rating expires
this year it cannot be vcneuwd.
