CURTIS APTER RUTHERFORD? Tolitics Says Councilman Will Seek to Fix Inspector’s Salary So Incumbent Would Not Accept Reappointment. At the meeting of -the common council on Wednesday evening a reso- ‘lution will Bp introduced to provide a salary of $2,500 per year. for an all- time building inspector. Last night it was reported that an attempt.would be made to materially cut this figure, so that Bullding Inspector Apthur N. Liutherford, who will be reappointed y | by Mayor G. A. Quigley, if he wants the position, would be forced out of office.

Those familiar with the council proceedings and its personnel express the opinion that Councilman O. F. Curtis, who is said to be opposed to Building Inspector = Rutherford, is planning to make an attempt to low- ev the salary from the $2,600 figure suggested. It is ‘said that Council- man Curtis may present an amended resolution in the council asking that the building inspector’s salary be fixed at $2,000. It is known that In- spector Rutherford would not accept the position with this salary under any -conditions and in some quarters it is felt that -Councilman Curtis is opposed to Inspector Rutherford per- sonally, hence wduld like to see the | salary ‘made so that he would be un- able to take the position.

Funk. goéneral manager of the plant f ‘the International Explosive com- pn.ny at Bwanton, Vt., injured in a fulminate explosion Thursday, died today, according to a message re- ceived here. Dr. Funk lived at Mount Carmel where he had had charge of the Lib- erty Cartridge company's-plant, prior THIRTY-TWO ENLIST FOR HOME SERVICE Rales Inferprled (0 Make Al Men Eligible New Britain’s Home Guard Dat- talion has been recruited by twenty additional men, all of whom appeared at the recruiting’ office in City hall last evening and . registered with Burton C. Morey and Col. W. W. Bul- len. This brings the total number of Home Guardsmen, excluding any Wwho may have enlisted todey, up to thirty-two. Thi in charge of the movement feel certain that their hopes of orgaulsing a division of 500 Home Guardsmem will be realized. ' There are a_large number of Span- ish War veterans, former militiamen and men who have served in the N: tional Guard ‘or other military or- sanizations’ who are expected to en- et soon. Private citizens who have never seen any military service are also being urged to join this com- pany. Although the original rules for enlistment as sent from Hartford were rather ambiguous and gave some people the impression that men could not be enlisted who were sound phy- sically, unmarried and between the ages of 18 and 45, the local office this morning fssued the information that anyone can enlist in the Home Guard. When the applicant is given a physi- cal examination by the surgeon and 18 passed he will be advised to join either the National Guard, Naval Militia, army or navy if he comes in the class mentioned as eligible. This will be optional with the applicant, however, and if he declines to enlist ir/ either of these branchés of the federal service he will be permitted to maintain his standing in the Home Guard. The, local recruiting officer furthermore stated that any men eligible for National Guard duty who remains fn the Home Guard will not be any more liable to draft, should such an emergency ever arise in this country, than the unattached citizen in the street. The Home Guard, it is explatied, is not affiliated with the Tederal government and the regular army or National Guard cannot draft 1ts members. A Home Gusrdsman, although eligible for military duty, ‘would have the same standing in the time ©f conscription as & man who was in no way connected with this fun-organized military company. Many Veterans Enrolled. It is gratifying to the officials in charge of the Home Guard recruit- ing to see so mauy former trained soldiers enlisting. A majority of those who have enrolled have seen service in the National Guard and some have dome.duty in the regular army. Of those who -enlisted last hight Burton €. Morey is a Spanish war veteran and was an officer at that time. He has had twelve years mil- flary training. The veteran of veter- ans to enlist to date however, is Ci William W. Bullen. Col. Bullen has served twenty-three years in the Con- necticut Nationdl Guard, Is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and a former lleutenant-colonel of the First regiment. Men from all stations in_ life are onlisting in the Home Guard and men of all ages eligible are also en- rolling. The oldest Home Guards- man yet to enlist in this city is Philip C. MciIntyre of Washington street. Mr. Mcintyre is a well known con- tractor and is a member of the board of finance and taxation. His age is given as 56 years. The youngest re- crult to date comes from Berlin. He is Paul Golon and gives his age as 17 years. He has a brother, Joseph, who is fn the United States navy and 1s at present stationed in Quantanamo with the eighth division of the U. S. torpedo flotilla. All of the men who enroll in the Home Guard will be notified when to appear for physical examination. As soon as enlistment details have been completed the mgn will be organized, probably into compantes, and will be supplied with proper equipment, such as guns, uniforms, ete. They will then arrange for officers and will be- gin regulation drills the same as the National Guard. Y. W, C. A. NOTES.
