ROW AT MEETING OF “NEW HAVEN (Continued from First Page) leading nowhere and to this Mr. Nixon replied that he had tried to make the point clear that the annual report should show the real value of the company. Mr. Hiller wanted his motion acted was to end. President Pearsan said that this was not so and asked vice President Buckland to explain the situation. Mr. Buckland said that this was the time for debate. The officers were in- terested in getting a correct financial statement. As to marking down values it ought to be right to mark up values on properties which are worth more than the book values. He referred briefly to certain assets. This braught Hagop Bogigian of Boston to his feet to ask what had been done to get the trolley properties back to the New Haven road. Mr. Buckland said he could not admit that the premise of the directors was any different from that of the government. The latter placed the properties in a trusteeship. The attorney general of the United States was in town today for the Liberty loan and he hoped that the meeting might hear from him on the attitude of the government. Mr. Bogigian said the trolleys had been ‘“stolen” from the road and the of justice or ‘“injustice” or the comm on on interstate com- merce or ction of commerce’ gives no s ance, He thought the directors ought to explain what they were doing to get back the trolley properties. Mr. Venner moved to table the motion to accept the annual report. Several stockholders made motions until there was quite a parliamentary tangle ‘and brought a pratest from Benjamin Spier that the motions were contradictory. President Pearson called on Mr. Buckland to decide and the latter said that Mr. Venner's motion was subject to a stock vote and on a viva vace vote was carried. Mr. Bogigian asked if the meeting { was being properly conducted as the by-laws provide that Howard Elliott, the chairman of the board of directors, should preside, Later Mr. Elliott said that he had gratitude far the good words of Mr. Bogigian but as he had resigned as chairman of the board there was no such office and President Pearson was rightfully presiding. Mr. Bogi- gian said that the stockholders should have been notified of Mr. Ellintt's action. Mr. Hiller had offered a motion con- | cerning the directors but Mr. Venner claimed it conflicted with the by-laws | the | and this point was upheld by chair. Mr. Hiller was on his feet sev- points of order. One inquiry was as to whether the directors had enough proxies to contro] the meeting. A tel- ler said proxies in hand represented 1,169,277 shares.

Mr. Bogigian dis- claimed slander or intent to reflect upon any person. Mr. Venner insist- ed the discussion was irrelevant and the chair should order business to go on. The chair ordered the ballot tak- en. Mr. Hiller maintained that the | stockholders ought to have the right to name a teller. Mr. Elliott was asked to explain the creation of the office of chairman of the board of directors. He related how various officers of the New Haven | company in the isterest of efficlent or- ganization of various subsidiary prop- erties were made the heads of these, and in order to have an officer over these heads the chairmanship was made and became an important one.

Wunder will officiate and interment will be in Fair- view cemetery. ‘When the unconscious body of Sen- gle was found Tuesday morning in the hallway at 306 Church street the po- lice suspected foul play. After an in- | vestigation yesterday afternoon by De- | tective A. J.

Sengle, who was a bachelor, was employed by the Stanley, Rule and Level Co. as a mechanic. LIVERMORE-VIBBERTS. Pretty Wedding Under Arch of Palms and Orysanthemums.

The child became afflicted with in- fantile paralysis last Wednesday and after several local physicians had at- tended the infant Dr. Rosenow was called. TUpon his arrival at the Goet- ting home he found the child near death, with its right side, arm and leg completely paralyzed. gt % || The Most Wonder ful Suit in the If a large and thoroughly reliablo business concern offered to the public a suit of clothes that could be bought in any size, at a price suited to every man’s pocketbook, a suit that required abso- lutely no care, could be worn in all seasons of the year, summer and in the pockets of which winter alike. A Suit of Clothes guaranteed you would find monecy period of twenty-five years, money of the purchase price; and if at the end of the period the concern guaranteed to repay the owner his total original cost—such a suit would truly be the most wonderful suit in tho world.

Clothes for Men, Women and Bojs SEVEN OF STAFF KILLED AT WORK They Have a Hard Time Getting Out Rheims Paper Rheims, Oct. 24.—“L’Eclaireur de- I'Est” has no humorous column, no editorials, no sporting page and no dramatic reviews, and yet it is prob- ably the most difficult paper in the world ta edit. The printing shop stands just behind the cathedral of Rheims, and the chief reportorial task of the staff of “L'Eclaireur” is to count the number of shells which fall into the city each day. It is not a difficult assignment. The reporter can hear them all from his desk, and many he can see, for the cathedral, across the street, ig still the favorite target of the Germans. Sometimes the reporter does not have to look so far. The office of “L’Eclaireur” has times during the bombardment and seven members of the staff have been killed. One big shell fell fair in the composing room and wrecked all the linotype machines, and so now the paper is set by hand. It is a single sheet and the circula- tion is limited, for only 3,000 or 4,000 civilians have stuck to Rheims throughout the bombardment. Many more stayed during the early days, despite the rain of shells and the chil- dren went to underground schools in great wine cellars of the town. Pres- ently, however, the Germans began to put gas shells into the city, and then came the exodus. The few who arc left dwindle for there civilian casualties in the city Our Correspondent Writes. We arrived in the city at noon, and after lunch at a far end of the town, which is almost out of shell range, we went to the office of ‘L’Ec- laireur.’” The editor met us and ex- plained that it was a very quiet day. Not a single shell had fallen in the city since midnight, he said. He was decidedly apolegetic about it. reputation of Rheims was only under a temporary cloud, for no sooner had we entered the newspaper office than the guns began and thirty shells fell within the next hour. One was. cer- tainly not more than two hundred vards from the office, but the work went on without the slightest inter- ruption. Indeed, a copyreader whom we saw at work never once looked up from his task. He was the only copy- reader I ever met who merited un- stinted admiration, “In the next room printers were setting ads. They were mostly of houses which might be rented for next to nothing. They. too, showed not the slightest trace of being shell shy. “But if there was any one in the visiting party who felt uncomfortable he was unwilling to show it, for just outside the door of the newspaper office there sat an old lady with a lapful of fancy work. A shell came from over the hills, and in the sec- onds while it whistled and then smashed the old lady threaded her needle. “A day later when some of us were willing to confess that of all miser- able sounds the whistling of a sHell | was the meanest, we found a curious kink in the brain of every one. “It was the' universal experience that the slightest bit of cover, how- cver inadequate, gave a sense of safe- ty out of all proportion to its utility. Thus we all felt much more uncom- fortable in the square than when we stood in the composing room of the newspaper, which was, shiclded by the remains of a glass skylight. The same curious psychological twist can be found among soldiers at the front. Again and again men will be found taking apparent comfort in the fact that half an inch of tin roof protects them from the shells of the Ger- mans.” MUST PAY TAX. Motion Picture Patrons Have No Al- ternative, Manager Thinks. Manager John Glackin of the Ly- ceum theater stated today that, ac- cording to his interpretation of the war revenue bill, it will be necessary for all patrons of every motion pic- ture house to pay their admission tax of one, two, three, four or five cents, as the case may be, upon entering the house inasmuch as Section 700 of the the law makes that provision, \ If this is so it will not be possible for the theater managers to adopt any other system such as a change in the scale of prices, to provide for the tax, he claims. been hit eleven | The | DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs. George L.
