The report W presented, but judging from the manner it traveled first from the hands of the clerk to the members of the board in a wild attempt to in- terpret its meaning, the document vas rather obscure. Greek and Latin taught in the schools but if there student who can decipher what city cngineer was driving at in report, let him immediately ap- ply at city hall and he will find a problem that will at least prove inter- esting. Commiissioner Alling, whose term as chairman has permitted him to come !in contact with Cooley handed the | electrician several jabs which if con- | nected with his anatomy or if spoken within Cooley’s presence, might cause a knockout, or a display of pyrotech- s. He said, “T am unwilling to ac- such a report. It seems to me when this board orders a report it should ade in a comprehensi- ble manner. | Commissioner Holmes moved that | the report be returned to the electri- cian with a request that it be put | in intelligible form. He embodied in the motion that the report be submit- | | ted at the next regular meeting of | the board. Hot on Cooley’s Trail The storm which broke in regard | to the report did not abate a particle | for Cooley when the next business was | taken up. Commissioner Alling said | that as far back as last August he ap- proached Cooley and spoke to him in regard to removing a fire alarm from | the home of one of the members of Engine company No. 4 who had | changed residence. Two weeks ago he met the fireman, James Kelly, who informed him that the order had mnot been complied with. A few minutes prior to the calling of the meeting he again got in touch with Kelly who stated that the alarm is still at its old location. “Now it is pretty near time that the city electrician be made to obey orders of this board,” said the commission- er hotly. Clerk Magnell was notify Cooley to get busy was also voted to have Cooley sub- mit the names of the firemen who are without alarms in their homes. Civil Service. Commissioner Holmes brought up the appointment of a regular patrol- man to succeed John L. Middleton, who recently resigned. The clerk read the names of the applicants. One amazing fact brought out by the ap- { plications was that a member of the | supernumary department is 9 1-4 feet {in height. This was the dimensions | given by Albert Sharpe. i Commissioner Holmes said that in view of the fact that a civil service commission was appointed it might be a good idea to lay the matter over for a reasonable time, and thus give that body the power to pass on the eligi- | bles,, making it their first act. He pre- sented this in the from of a motion | which was seconded by Comissioner | Alling with the provision it could be y as he pleas were “smithereens” at as ar is a the the cept | i | | instructed to vy at once. It Favor | debatea on. When the motion had been put and | | ready for debate Commissioner All- | ing said that he dia not think the civil service hoard had its rules for- mulated as yet, and he was of the opinion that it would be some time | before it would. He did not feel that the city should be made to suffer | for the lack of patrolmen on this ac- | count. | Commissioner Holmes said that in | his motion he had brought out the fact that he wished to have the mat- | ter left with the chairman to deter to | mine whether or not there would be | | any unnecessary delay. He did not | think that the city would be put to y inconvenience. He said that from the outset he has favored civil service for the police and fire depart- ments, but had no objections to a reg- vlar policeman being appointed at | the meeting. | Commissioner Allin said that he | based his remarks on past activities of the civil service commission. ‘“If | they do not work any faster in the fu- ture than they have in the past, we will never get anywhere,” he said. Continuing, Commissioner Alling directing his remarks to Commission- or Holmes asked, “Do you understand that the civil ice” board to ulate plans and conduct examin- ns under the present day char- s e “I don't know, that is for some- one else to find out,” answered Com- missioner Holmes. He added: *“All it is a report of those who ar rle. The sooner we get desirable the better. It is better to get desirable than to let them go men them later.” Commissioner has always favored board of at this juncture raised a juestion: If the civil service recommended a man for ap- 1t, and its acts were found to iliegal Where does the rd stand? ‘Well we Alling said that the civil servi appointments. he method He pointr then said have no say whom we shall appoint” mission Holmes. “That's the point I aid Commissioner Alling. “If the civ- il service commission went ahend jand examined ten men for a job as to Com-~ am raising,” hypotheti- | safety | ent—Supernumerary Di 1y Use Ambulance. we would be forced to take the man at the top of the list.” “I would certainly oppose such a method,” said Commissioner Holmes. Chairman Healey was called upon for his views in regard to the matter. He said that like his brother coma- missioners he favored the civil ser \'.flceA He said that the board some time ago had started the movement, but the irons were taken from th fire. He was glad to give the civil service board an opportunity to show itself, and thus disprove the be- lief of some people that the board was opposed to it. He said that if it was shown that the civil service com- mission had no standing, then the board of public safety could go ahead as in the past He felt that a man can be detailed to fill the vacancy caused by resignation in the depart- ment, and give the other commission this opportunity of showing its hand. Compensation for Ellinger. Commissioner Alling submitted a report of the findings of Compensa- tion Commissioner George B. Chand- ler on the claim of Supernumerary Officer George Ellinger, who sustain- ed a broken jaw in the riot at the Corbin Screw Corporation several months ago, which caused his con- finement in the New Britain General hospital from September 24 to Novem- ber 20. Commissioner Chandler granted Ei- linger $7.50 a week or one-half of his weekly salary, minus the first eleven days of confinement as prescribed by the compensation act. Commission- er Alling said this was done -with the provision that it was acceptable to Officer Ellinger, and as he haa seen the officer and the latter agreed to the finding he made a motion that it be recommended. The motlon pre- vailed. Values Teeth Highly. Commissioner Alling also reported the finding of the compensation com- missioner on the claims of Officer Charles H. McGrath, who figured ia the same mixup and who asked for six days pay at $3.22 a day, a new uniform and cap and $100 damage done his teeth. Commissioner Chandler ruled that other than payment for the physi- cian’s bill the officer was not entitled to compensation. He also ruled that the dentists’s bill should be included in the sum to be paid but thought the bill excessive. The matter of relmbursing the dentist was left with the chairman. To Discuss the Ordinance. Chairman Healey announced that a meeting of the board and the dinance committee of council to discuss Section the charter to disct tutes a regular patrolman be held Thursday evening. As members of the board interpret the rule, it an officer is called upoy to act in an official capacity such as escort duty, funerals or give other service outside of his regular duties, the board can have the jurisdiction as to whether he is to be compensated by extra pay or the alloted time which he spends in this manner is to be added to his vacation. Hospital Wants Police Ambulance. A communication was received from Chief Rawlings relative to the request of the hospital authorities for use of ! the auto patrol for emergency pur- poses. The communication stated that the historic “one horse chaise,” of the hospital was “all in Com- missioner Alling said he investigated | the matter and recommended that the use of the patrol be gramted at a -ost ——————————————————————— PUZZLED Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children. Children’s taste is ofttimes more ac- | curate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurate- | ly through the children. A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never per- suade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was a weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on. | “One lucky day we tried Grape- Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape- Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I think he would have liked the food for dinner. “The difference in his appearance is something wonderful. My husband had never fancied cereal food of any kind, but he be- fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it. “We are now a healthy family and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts. “A friend has two children who were formerly affilicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment The children showed it. So urged her to use Grape-Nuts an expe ment and the result was almost magi- cal. “They continued the food both children are as well a as any children in this city, and, course, my friend is a firm believer in Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence before her eyes every day.” Name given by Postum Co., | Mich. | .

Supernumerary Discharged. Chief Rawlings also recommended the discharge from the service of Su- pernumerary Officer William Kurtz. The chief stated that the officer ob- tained a leave of absence for six months to go to California and he has been away over a year. The officer was dismissed on grounds of non- residence. A communication was re- ceived from John Kunze in regard io some repairs of doors at the fire sta- tions, but as the commissioners felt that the appropriation would not warrant the work, it was laid on the table. Chief Rawlings reported that the batteries on the police ambulance had “gone dead” and he wished their re- newal. He said that local auto men had informed him that the work coull be done cheaper by sending the bat- teries to a firm in Philadelphia. The chief also reported that the fuel for the garage was nearly consumed. Both matters were left to the chair- man with power. Poor Service Says Priest. Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski sent in a long communication regarding the practice of distributing hand hills in front of his church on Sundays, a practice which has become obnoxio to him and his parishioners. He spoke in the letter of the hedvy taxes that are paid by residents in that section and of the poor service which he felt they were getting in return. The clerk was-instructed to write *o the priest that there are two cpecial officers connected with the church who should be able to dispense with the nuisance At the reque Manufacturin voted to T point mons, William Rehm factory policemen. Healey Elected Chairman. The first business after the reading of the minutes of the previous meet- ing was the selection of a chairman to succeed Commissioner E. B. Alling. Commissioner R. R. Healey who has been filling the vacancy for the past few weeks was elected on motion of Commissioner Alling. Officer For Church Property. Chief Rawlings presented a request from Rev. Eqward V. Grikis, pastor of St. Andrews Lithuanian church, for the appointment of Michael Nevulis as a special officer for duty around the church property. An excelient recommendation was given Nevulis by Chief Rawlings and it was voted to appoint him. Alling Tenders Thanks. Retiring Chairman Alling, minutes prior to adjournment, said he wished to extend his thanks to the members of the board for the many courtesies extended him during his term. He also thanked the members of the press for the fine treatment he had received. He extended his best wishes to the new chairman. Want to be Regulars.

P. on June 7 Chicago, Jan. 12—Most of the members of the progressive national committee and party leaders left for their homes today after deciding last night to hold the national convention in Chicago on June concurrentiy with the republican national conven- tion. After the completion of the work of the committee, many of the lead- ers expressed the opinion that the way had been opened for a common leadership of the progressive and re- publican parties. Next Gathering in New York. The next progressive gathering will be held in New York City. Progressive leaders declared that there would be no amalgamation with the republican party even in the event of both partis choosing the same presidential candidate. The progres- sive party plans to nominate a na- tional ticket at its convention in June. Many of the party leaders declared that if the republicans will nominate Roosevelt or any other man who is regarded as unobjectionable and wiil incorporate in its platform the sailent features of the progressive princi- ples, both parties will unite on the same candidates in Chicago next June. Perkins View In discussing the declaration principles adopted the tee, George W. Perkins of New York said:— The declaration issued by the na- tional committee means just what it say It was prepared with great care. There is nothing of bluff or threat in it. It is an honest and fair statement of the situation. We are all hoping that both the pro- gressive and the republican parties will agree on a candidate, and it ne- cessarily will not have to be Colonel Roosevelt. We are not thinking of the name just now, for the convention is several months away and in these days, when things are moving so fast and conditions are changing so rapid- ly, we cannot know who might be deemed the best man for the place when the time comes.” of by The declaration of principles adopt- cd by a sub-committee consisting of ed by a sub-committe consisting of Herbert Knox Smith of Connecticut, chairman; Chester H. Rowell of Cal- ifornia; W. H. Childs of New York and William Allen White of Kansas. The motion to hold the party co unanimous vote after Ns tional Committeeman B.

Declaration of Pr The full text of the declaration of principles follows:— | “The progressive party began its existence as did the republican party. | a party of moral conviction and | national purposes. The progressive platform of 1911 was a composite of | nation and state issues, for the party was a new organization and had to | speak at once for both nation and state. Since then state issues, such as the short ballot, initiative, refer- endum and recall, have been taken up in various state platforms. “The national issues presented by our platform of 1912 and those for ¢ which we now stand, represent the ! vital needs of our national life. They are in substance:— “A broader nationalism to make | possible an effective program of so- cial and industrial justice at home, and the protection of'American citi- zens and rights abroad. ‘The constructive federal regu tions rather than the destructive d ruption of efficient business organiza- tion—behavior and not being the test. “The introduction of business ef- ficiency into government by the bud- get system and the co-ordination of departments. Non-Partisan pesmanent, wciples a Commission. “A tariff commission to make possible the sci- entific revision of tariff schedules on protective lines. Also a pledge for| the immediate ion of such sched- ules as the condition of world war have made unjust or as are necessary for the preservation, after the war, of industries newly established here, whose necessity the war has demon- strated. | “A provision for equal suffrag “The dethronement of the invi government. “A provision for chant marine. “To the progressive platform of 1912, as above summarized and am- plified, we pledge our continued alle- giance. Both of the old parties have | failed to make serious efforts to en- act these national principles into law. “Because of the failure of the Wil- son administration to deal adequately with national honor and industrial welfare, this county faces problems | of a graver and more far-reachins consequence than any since the civil war. | Humanity’s Final Safeguard “International law i ity's | final safeguard, and civilization’s t bulwark.
