ARE | TO BE STUDIED HERE Chamber ‘of Commerce Takes Up Jn- teresting Work as the Best Is None Too Good for Us. Much business was transacted ves- terday afternoon at ine meeting of the | directors of the New Britain Cham- ber of Commerce. President E. W. Christ was authorized to name a committee to nominate directors to be chosen at the annual meeting next month, He named F. G. Platt, J. R. Andrews, H. V. Camp, A. N. Abbe and William Cowlishaw- A project to malke a systematic study of various formg of city government was en- dorsed and referred to the civic buggay to arrange: No reflection on the form of government now existing is intended, the Chamber of Com- merce simply taking the attitude that New Rritain should have the best and Seeks an investigation to this end. The Central Labor union sent in complaint, protesting against the printing of the annual report of the New Britain General hospital by a Springfield concern. which was re- ferred to the directors of the hospital. A report of the work that the Cham- ber has done in connection with se- curing a location here for the Hart- ford Auto Parts company was re- ceived and the work of the executive committee and those who co-operated ‘with it was highly commended. An application for membership was re- ceived from Joseph Zuk. The Fourth of July committee made its final re- port. A complaint was received concecn- ing the unprotected platform at Ber- lin Junction used by New Britain pas- sengers waiting to transfer to south- bound trains. The winter season is approaching and it is felt that some- thing should be done to afford pro- tection @Bainst severe weather to which waiting passengers are now ex- posed on the open platform. The ex- ecutive committee was instructed to take the matter up with the railroad company. Some form of protection for the dangerous Clayton crossing was dis- cussed and the Chamber decided to endorse the efforts that are being made by Selectman Erwin of Newing- ton to secure this protection. Prasi- dent Christ was authorized to name a committee of three to act with officers of the New Britain, Kensington and Meriden Street Railway company aud the Meriden Chamber of Commerce with regard to the construction of the proposed interurban line. Fire Pre- vention day is to be observed and President Christ is selecting a com- mittee from the various wards to act in co-operation with the committee appointed by the mayor to observe the event. WEDDING PLANS OUT. Lewis-White Marriage to Be Brilliant k Nuptial Event. A society wedding of much local interest will take place at St. Mark's Episcopal church Saturday evening. October 9, when Miss Dorothy Ray- mond White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. White, and Richard Brainard Lewis of Hartford will be married by Rev. Harry I Bodley.

They trust out their goods and wait for their pay, A certain percentage is never paid. This makes higher prices than would exist if there were no saloons. Knock out the booze and most men would pay their debts. The cry: “No license will kill busi- ness,” is a base falsehood. It is the saloon that kills. XKill the saloon and new business will spring to life. It is needless for the-writer to say anything about the effect of the drink hLabit on the workingman's family. Ccnditions everywhere speak for themselves. A vote for license means the con- tinued existence of that which re- duces working ability, increases the workingman’s burdens, decreases his skill and value, increases the cost of living, decreases the respect of the community and the value of prop- erty—a. vote for that which is a menace to safety, shortens life, breeds dullards and endangers the public. A vote for no-license is a vote for the uplift of the community. License benefits only the booze maker and dealer. The writer of this article challenges any advocate of license to prove where any com- munity was ever benefited by the open-saloon, No-license is a benefit to all honest, legitimate business and a boon to the workingman and his family. Knock out the saloon and give the workingman and honest business a chance. FROM ONE WHO BELIEVES IN VOTING FOR PLAINVILLE. Mrs, M. L. Rhodes and Mrs. W. W. Marshall have been appointed dele- gates to represent the local Sunshine soclety at the state convention to be bheld in New Haven on September 28. COMSTOCKATTENDED! " LOGAL HIGH SCHOOL Famons Crusader Against Vice D(\ Student Here in 1861 That Anthony Comstock, famous | the country over as the tireless enemy of vice and immorality, time a member of the New Britain High school was brought to light with the news of his death, which occurred in Summit, N. J., last night. Local investigation proved conclusive- 1y that the famous moralist did attend the High school here, but it took con- siderable effort upon the part of Sub Master J. C. Moody of the school fac- ulty before the record was discovered and the statément fully authenticated. Mr. Comstock was a native of New Canaan, this state, and gained his elementary education in the schools and academy of that town. How he came to be connected with the local High school could not be ascertained. The school records show, however, that he was a second year student there in 1861, the year the Civil War broke out. The war probably dis- rupted his plans to omplete his edu- cation in the local institution for there is no further record to show that he continued to study here after 1861. Two years later, or in December, 1863, Comstock took his place among the defenders of the Union, becoming a mémber of Seventeenth Connecti- cut Volunteers and served until the close of the struggle. His regiment was mustered out in July, 1865. A fuller account of his notable career as an anti-vice worker, is contained in the following dispatch from Sum- was at one mit, N. J., where he died. Died in New Jersey- Sunmit, N. J., Sept, 22.—Anthony Comstock died here at his home in Beekman road, at 8:15 o’clock last evening. His death was caused by pneumonia, which developed a few days ago during an illness in which he had suffered from an intermittaat fever for ten days. ‘Mr. Comstock, who was 71 years old was taken ill while he was here cf his vacation in August. He returned to work at his offices at 140 Nassau street, New York, however, but again fell ill and had to come here. His wife, Mrs. Margaret Comstock, and his daughter,. Adele, were with him last night when he died. Dr. John Burling had been in attendance at least twice a day. Veteran of Civil War. Anthony Comstock was born in New Canaan, Conn., on March 7, 1844. He was the son of Thomas Anthony and Polly Ann Lockwooa. He received his education in district schools, and academy in New Canaan, and the New Britain High school- In December, 1863, he joined the Seventeenth Connecticut Volunteers and served in the civil war under Gen, Gilmore in the Third Separate Brigade Department of the South, receiving an honorable discharge in July 1865. From the battlefields of the civil war returned to New York city in 1867 to pass through various stages of work before he found his real battle in life —the fight against vice and obscene literature, as he saw it; a crusade against the atrocious in literature and the base in business; hctivities which made him a national character and one of the best known figures of his time. Worked in Dry Goods Store, Before he made his first arrest of venders of obscene books on March 3. 1873, he worked as porter, stock clerk and salesman in wholesale dry goods houses, from 1867 to 1873. In 1873 he became secretary ad special agents of the Society for the Suppression of He held that position umntil his In addition he was appointed a spe- cial agent in the Post Office Depart- ment on March 5, 1873. He held this position which is now known as an inspectorship, and served the govern- ment without pay until January, 1907, During that time he made more than 3,600 arrests and, according to figures published, he seized more than 155 tons of obscene literature and other printed matter. DOUBLE MURDER Actress and Man Killed at Memphis, Tenn.—Heads of Both Battered in ‘With a Hammer. Memphis, Tenn.

Crowell, believed to be a resident of Green- wood Miss.,, were discovered in an apartment in the central residential district. The heads of both victims had been battered in' with a hammer and the bodies slashed with a razor.

The wo- man’s body was partly burned. Mes- sages from the Greenwood, Miss., po- lice stated that Crowell is manager of a cotton mill there. Portland Ore., Sept. 22.—NMrs. Mar- garet Favar came to Portland eight- een years ago with her mother, from Australia. She was then fifteen years old.

Seven Are Now Impassable and Two More Will Be Tied Up Monday. Several of New Britain’s principal streets are in a bad condition and while they are being repaired are im- passable. At present Lafayette, Broad, Harvard, Washington, Myrtle, Grove and Chestnut streets are all or partially blocked and on Monday Bigelow and Elm streets will go gn the closed list in sections. In case of a serious fire the fire de- partment would be greatly ham- pered in taking the shortest route, but Chief Dame does not think it { would prove disastrous owing to the fact that the varioug companies could approach almost any blaze from dif- ferent directions.
