Parker Began As Packer Filty Years Ago William E. Parker of 47 Curtis street, at the end of his day’s work next Tuesday, will have completed fif- ty years of continuous service with the Russell & Erwin company. Enter- ing the employ of the company on February 20, 1867, when it was still in its earliest stages, he has watched its growth steadily until today it is among the foremost and largest con- cerns of its kind in the world. % As a young man just out of High | school, Mr. Parker secured the foun- dation for his knowledge of the hard- ware manufacture in the packing room which was located at the corner of ‘Washington and Myrtle streets on the east side, the present site of one of the ;' nt's largest buildings. It was herc¢ * George Post, then foreman, inte, ¢ himself in the bright lad, who red evidences of being one of the c¢. .pany’s most valuable assets in later jears. Mr. Parker was later promoted to the foremanship of the packing room, but his ability later and today he is assistant to General Manager B. A. Hawley. There is probably no attache of the company today who was with it at the time Mr. Parker started to work. The founders of the concern, H. E. Russell and C. B. Erwin, were very active in the management at that time and an- oher who took much fnterest in the growth and extension of the concern was Dr. Woodruff, who was secretary. All of these men have since passed away. Daniel Gilbert of this city was working for the company when Mr. Parker comnienced, but he was pen- sioned off several years ago. The late Emory Parker, father of Mr. Parker, was superintendent of Russell & Erwin for many years. The family removed to this city from Mer- iden when he was very young. The ob- servance of the fiftieth anniversary of his connection with the company, will not be occasioned by anything out of the order from his present daily rou- tine. MILITARY BILL 1S BROUGHT T0 SENATE Statutes Made fo Conform to Federal Regulations Hartford, Feb. 16.—The new mil- itary bill was reported to the sen- ate today. It makesg the regulatidns for the state militia conform to the federal law and’provides for support of militiamen’s depcndents by the state immadiately upon the militia- men being called from the state for duty. The bill also repeals that pro- vision of the present law. which gives a peade officer the right to call out the militia when he is unable to com- municate with the governor. It also provides a fine of from ten dollars to fifty dollars for any person, who, after being drafted fails to present himself for physical examination. The section of the new military Lill provides that whenever the militia shall be called into'active field service of the state the state shall pay week- ly allowances to the dependents. The governor, state treasurer, secretary of state and comptroller will be a board j to administer such allowances which ishall be on a basis for $20 a monih for a wife and $6 a month for each minor child of the militiaman. The board will have the right to pay ol- lowances to a father or mother pro- viding the soldier has no wife or children, also providing that no al- lowances shall be made to any single soldier's dependents to the extent of more than $50 a month. This bill, if it became a law. would be in- operative if the United States as- sumed pavment of the allowances. No Boxing Exhibitions. The judiciary committee reportel unfavorably on the Kopplemann bill for a commission to regulate boxing exhibitions. The judiciary committee reported favorably to the house an increase in salary for Superintendent Egan of the state police from $3,000 to $4,000 and the bill went to the appropriations committee. Ernest K. Taft was chos- en deputy judge at Stafford Springs for the full term. Among favorable report were those changing the number of deputy sher- iffs in the several counties; establish- ing two taxing districts in Milford; providing for exemption from taxation to the amount of $1,000 of property owned by soldiers and of those who have served in the army, navy, marine or revenue marine services of the United States; and amending the Wa- terbury charter concerning advertis- ing of bond issues. In a senate resolution George H. Jackson is named as judge of the New Milford court. Among unfavorable reports were those on bills providing that life im- | prisonment only should be the penalty i for murder in the first degree, and de- ductions in wages of persos arriving late for work. The house chamber will be used by the labor commission for its hearings on bills relating to employment of women and minors. Free Overcoats. The “live wire” clothing merchants, B. F.

Wasbhington, Feb. 16.—Details of the arrangement for examing east- bound trans-atlantic shipping at Hal- ifax, N. 8, instead of Kirkwall, ure being worked out rapidly through ex- changes between the British admiral- ty, the Canadian authorities and the | British embassy here. Robert Spear Hudson, third secre- tary of the embassy, now is in New York consulting with the British consul general and with representa- tives of shipping interests, prepara- ftory tn going to Halifax, where he will act as the agent for the embh:ssy in arranging for the examination of shipping. The comparatively small force of inspectors already assembled at Hali- fax to search the passengers and car- 80 of the Danish liner Frederik VIII., upon which Count Von Bernstorff and his party are traveling, is said at the cmbassy here to be inadequate for examination of the total volume of shipping expected to pass by way of Halifax and it will be necessary vir- tually to duplicate the elaborate ma- chinery at Kirkwall. The consideration of conducting the examinations on the western side of the Atlantic, which British officials [ here declare is entirely indeference to | the needs of American commerce, American ship masters are expected to co-operate and avoid any attempt to make their way across the Atlantic without inspection. Instead of abandoning the practice of issuing ‘letters of assurance” to American exports to facilitate the handling of their goods in transit, the British authorities now state this practice will be made general and all exporters will be required to procure such “letters o1 assurance.’ CAPT.
