ilce. After being elected, Mr. Good-

and do all in his power to boost it.
" Membership Drive

Frank B. Austin reported for the
membership committee. Mr. Aus-
tin said that he could not give a de-
tailed rcport as the committee de-
sired to give thought to the matter
of membership and work up a driVe
that would bring in 600 members
who would remain in the organiza-
tion. He suggested various divisions
for the boa'I—‘d such as the merchants‘
division. the manufacturers' division.
the professional men's division and
also a Women's division. He said
that thememed to be a lack of
u y d opinion in Norwalk and laid

on the fact that while Nor-

it had the best location as a

y . olesale center in’ Fairneld county.

most of this business was being done

in Bridgeport and Stamford. He

promised a more detailed report for
the next meeting.

John M. Munsie reported on the
Norwalk men's outing in the ab-
sence of Thomas Skelly. Mr. Mun-
sie s_a_id Neville Bayiey of Roton
Point was giving the committee
wondei‘ful support and that than
attending the outing would enjoy a
dinner and a sail on the sound in
addition to the many other treats
being arranged for :3. He announc-
ed that in the evening there would
be dancing and that the wives and
friends of those attending the‘Outlng
could dance free of charge if they

1 went to notch Point and received
their badges which would admi
them. He thanked the newspapg‘j

' for the cooperation that they have
given the committee.

It was with considerable difficulty

 

Edvmrd Shine, Thomas Gass and Ar-
thur Duffyy were able to come to a
fair decision between Arthur Tyrell
of Norwalk. and Edward 'Scoop"
Channlug of Stamford.

The two boys. both very clever
artists, ware called upon time and
again to show their ability. and Judg-
ing by the applause they both re-
ceived they were very evenly match-
ed. The decision was finally awarded
to Arthur Tyrcll who was given a
watch as first prize. Young Charming
received a large Mexican but as sec-
ond prize. There were seven entrants
to the contest. .

Much to the delight of the spec-
tators the ducking stool, was in ac-
tion last 'ening. One was given
three opportunities to upset the
young man in a bathing suit from
his chair into a pool of water several
feet below.~‘lt is needless to say that
the victim took several baths dur~
ing the evening.

This evening a musical program
has been arranged as the special
feature of entertainment. under the
direction of William Morton of
Brookslde avenue. Mr. Morton is
known to the residents of the sur-
rounding towns as one of the mem-
bers of the Cosmopolitan quartet and
an entertainer of note.

Tomorrow evening. a. pie eating
contest will undoubtedly attract a
large number of visitors. Saturday
evening the bwtlful Franklin Se-

made his debilt in a very satisfac-
tory manner. He was the star of
the game with a batting average of
600 per cent and a. total of 17 strike-
outs. Street Commissioner Joseph
Llomau showed what a rampaging
Lion can do in four hits out of six
times at bat. and three sensational
catches in the outfield. And the
other Litns were invincible too. To
Max Ilaut goes the individual honor
of making an error. But. as J. Fred

“liaut made the error so as not to
make the wtary Kiwanis too on-

of the opIIOsing pitcher. The popu-

nine strikeouts and performed very
well at hat, but he was lonesome
from the very beginning. even
though the Kiwunlans did score the

SKELLY REPORTS
ON CONVENTION

At Regular Monthly

Four Candidates Initiated
Meeting In Local EIks’
Home.

Thomas A. Skelly l‘l Illicrml a very
interesting l't'plll‘i last night at the
regular monthly meeting of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks on the National lilks' conven-
tion ill Chicago, to which he was
a. delegate, and Dr. S. M. Dcltz paid
a warm and eloquent tribute to the
late Joseph J. Linxweller.

Mr. Skelly's address. lasting for
an hour took up the work done at
the assembly in addition to his de-
scription of the new $6,000,000 Ine-
niuriul structure of the lodge. lle
called the building a "poetic dream."
claiming that the only way to
imagine the lavishncss of the struc~
ture is to see it.

Your candidates were initiated at
last night's meeting.

Dr. Dcilz' eulogy follows ill part;

"Now. that death has closed the
eyes of one of our most beloved
brothers. I as one who enjoyed his
friendship. though, for a. compara-
tive short duration. deem it both.
an honor and a. privilege to offer my
tribute to his noble character and
memory.

"1 used the term for a short dura-
tion.’ yet I hesitate, after all. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

: intensity of friendship is not always

measured by time. and I feel. that
my intimate association with him,
enables me in this attempt to place
preper valuation on his character.

“it is possible to be so close to a
building that one cannot see the
building, but only a few bricks. and
stores. In tile same way one may be
so situated that he cannot see the
beauty of the forest for the trees.
and alas! sometime we may remain
so blind. as to overlook even the
virtues of our friends and neighbors.
Yet. this is not strange. this is quite
natural. for in real life we see only
the surface. the exterior. the out-
ward and visible. and only few of
us can see the emotions. tho inner.
the actualnhmotlons. that take place
in one's life and soul. and of these
emotions I desire to speak.

"Joseph J. Linxweiler is no more.
whiluet in love with life. and rm-
tured with the world he passed to
silence and pathetic dust. This is the
mystery of life. and the tragedy of

death. For every life no matter if

its every hour is rich with love and
every moment jeweled with a Joy.
will. at its close. become a tragedy.

Baggage Master Held

—liaggage Man, Thrown From Train, Gives Alarm

 

By Pulling Bell Rape and

 

SALISBURY, Mass, July 29.——(AP). Train robbers obtained
$65,000 in cash from the baggage master of a Boston and Maine

tion. The money had been sent
in Boston to the Powow River

It was reported that three young
men appeared Ill the baggage car
ifirst before the Train stopped at the
station and forced the baggage man
to throw off the bag co. IIlning the
money.

The bandits covered William Jor-
tI-‘lll. with pistols and three register-
ed mail pouches were thrown off.
Police believe an automobile was
waiting in the heavily wooded sec-
tion that surrounds the tracks at
that point. The baggage man was
thrown from the train while it was
still moving and rushed to Salisbury
to give alarm.

The bandits pulled the bell cord
of the train and before it had stop-
Ltd leaped from the cars and es-
coped.

The train carried but three cars
and an American Company car on
the rear, one passenger coach in
which were ten or twelve passen-
gers. and a combination baggage and
smoking car. The bandits were pas-
