Physician Takes ¥xcption to State- ments By Lawyer. Editor New Britain Herald: Dear Sir: My letter tions in Poland statement of condi- Mr. LeWitt fears it “may recite an ignorant and simple people to outrages” and it seems it had affected the artistic tempera- ment of our esteemed manager of & popular moving picture house. I do not care to flatter any Jew, but I repeat that the American Jew is totally different rom the average Jew in Poland. If Mr. Le Witt cannot see any difference between his culture and mntality and that of the aver- age Jew in Poland, I am sorry, be- cause both types have nothing common but perhaps their religion. Practically all Amdricans despise the Bolshevikiand all your protests will not change the fact that many of the Bolshevik leaders are Jews— T never said that all the Jews are Bolsheviki—and for sini purposes have assumed Russian and Polish namest to faciliate their destructive work of demoralizing and ruining some credulous Polish working men. Only latelv a gang of Bolsheviki under Radek has been sent to War- saw with that mission. When you say that “honor should have prompted the doctor to mention that a Jewess named Kaplan at- tempted to assassinate Lenine.” I re ply that a gentlema condemns all violence and murder. If she is a heroine to some Jews, I pity such morality; to me she is only an un- successful murderess. There is neither 1o nor sense in making Poland responsible for the cruelties of Czaristic Russia and in recalling an anarchist’s deed in sup- port of your defense. The Poles suf- fered from Russia more than the Jews Very bad \taste rotten argu- mentation 'for or !

Coffey of Tremont strect left this afternoon for New York city where he will, spend a few days at the Knights of Columbus headquarters, prior to his sailing for overseas service with that organiza- tion. Mr. Coffey received notification vesterday of his assisnment to the Paris office of the K. of C., and will be given his passports toda Coffey is a graduate of St. Mar, school, and is prominent in the local Aerie of Bagles. He has been em- ployed recently as general supply agent of the Connecticut Co., and pre- viously was in charge of the stock de- partment at the Stanley Rule & Level ) Lout a year ago he offered s s for the K. of C., and has been waiting for orders since. Ho has the distinction of being the first Jocal man to be accepted for service by this organization.

NO REVOLUTION BREWING Focialist Leader Holland Has No Bolshevism—Advises’ Place For People to Remain Calm. Rotterdam, Nov. 17—There is mo revolution in Holland, nor is there likely to be. Pieter J. Troelstra, the socialist leader, speaking today at a great labor copgress here, at which 38 trades unions and labor organ- tions were represented, not noly repudiated violent methods, but ad- mitted that his earlier utterances had resulted in a misunderstanding of his -position. Extremists who would introduce Bolshevism are in a hopeless minority in Holland. Soldiers and civic and labor societies desire reforms, but by lawful methods, apparently reading the signs of the times, the government will give immediate attention to the labor program. Its appeal to the people not to jeopardize chances of obtaining food supplies from the allies by domestic violence has been a powerful deterrent to those who have caused trouble.

Alderman O, F. Curtis caused the reporting of a new ordinance defining the procedure to be used in the re- moval of city officials. The provisions are: / “Wherever by the charter or by law, the common council has power to remove any city official, officer or employe, such power shall not be exercised except upon written charges made by the mayor or by three members of the common council to be presented in writing to the com- mon council. The council shall there- upon by a majority vote determine whether such charges shall be pre- sented and tried and if it shall be affirmatively determined to resent such charges and try them. A special meeting of the common council shall be called, which shall glve a hearing to such officlal, officer or employe, who shall have the right to be present, to be represented'by counsel and to have witnesses summoned to appear before said common council and to be confronted with the witnesses against him. At such hearing the common council shall not be bound rules of evidence, but seid council shall not remove any such officer, offi- cial or employe without due and suffi- clent cause exists and shall be proven at such hearing or adjournments there of.” The ordinance is one which has been needed for some time to remove the cause of numerous disputes which hawe arisen. Tt was adopted without omposition. Stringent regulations concerning the purchase of supplies and labor are embodied in a new ordinance drafted along lines suggested by Alderman Curtls. This ordinance was adopted Talks on Americanization, A talk concerning the naturalization of citizens and the need of a building where the ceremony of being made a citizen will be impressive was given members of the council by Francis P. O"Brien, one of a committee of three appointed to bring the matter before the council. Mr. O'Brien favored the use of the council cham- ber as a fitting place to receive the newly made citizens who have waited a period of five years and nine months to have the honor of becoming citizens iilis talk in part follows: “1 am one of a committee of three appointed to visit you in the cause of Americanization. I am to deal with the question of the naturalization and reception of citizens to the city of New Britain. We as American citi- ns sharing the same privileges of citizenship which they have lately ac- to. feel that their day of citizenship is a great da A special reception should be planned to follow the naturalization of these men. The mayor should represent the | city in welcoming these new citizens. A good speaker could perhaps be ob- tained who would emphasize to these | people that thcir responsibilities are | not over now that they have become | citizens, but rather that they have Just started. The mere papers of citi- zenship do not make them citizens. | This paper is but a testimonial which the man carries with him to show that he is a citizen. Formalities at the time | of naturalization will greatly impress those being naturalized. There should be & pproper place provided such as the common council chamber where the | court of naturalization may sit to re- ceive the new oitizens. A man who be- comes a citizen certainly does not like conditions existing at the present time where he enters the same door and leaves the same door that he would enter if he were arrested or if he had committed a crime. A building such as that is not a proper place for the holding of courts of naturalization. It is most true that Americanism is made up of small matters but after the small matters are made up the matter is by no means small How we feel determines how we think and how we think determines how we act. The matter of cost, difficulty and conve- nience should not figure in the matter. The committee hopes to receive help from the council.” “They were aided most lo rally by Mr Leland aad his corps of assistants Who worked with the same self sac- rifice and who furnished food and carried it to the sick. The executive committee was abz le to do its work promptly aand efficiently be- cause it fecund helping hands on every slde especially was this true of the Red Cross which had estab- shed the service for. similar work. Several of the nurses employed by the factories volunteered for the work, and their services were paid for by factories. The paid nurses in the main rendered most eficient se ice and without doubt their mi trations saved many lives. The Visiting Nurses’ association, the New Britain Day Nursery and the Tuber- culosls society gave up their special work for the time being and merged their organizations with that of the emergency committee for the general good. The state and city health de- partments co-operated in every pos- sble way and assisted most essen- cially by obtainingd physicians and nurses from out of town, who served most efficiently. “This report would not be com- plete did it not recognize the vol- unteer service of a few women and some of the teachers in the schools, whose homes are in other cities. Many of these women were absolute- ly regardless of there own health and the comfort in their service in the homes of those stricken with the dis- ease and their heroism in this serv- ice was the fin because it was often made in humble surroundings and for those whom they knew only as brother men.” In accepting the report Alderman O. F. Curtis moved that the thanks of the city be expressed to Mr. Moore for his work as chairman of the com- mittee, and it was voted. The board of police commissioners asked for authority to purchase a motoreycle for the police depart- ment. Bids reported were : From Monier Bros., $394 and allowance of $70 for the present machins, net $324. Hadfield Swenson, $400 and al- lowance on old machine §75, net $325. The difference will be seen to be $1. The purchase of the machine from Monier Bros. was recommended and authority given. Litke Case Comes Up. The council received the following from Chairman P. F. King of the po- lice commissioners in relation to the Litke case which came up for argu- ment again last night: “The board appreciates the spirit in which this matter has been ap- proached by the members of the common council, and would like to meet your views, but we do not feel that the circumstances warrant our doing so. We believe that many members of your honorable body have been induced to approve of in- | terference with the board’s action by | misunderstanding the facts in the case. “It has been stated on the floor of the council that Mr. Litke had been refused a hearing . At no time has Mr. Litke either by word or letter, requested that he be given a hearing. The action of the board has been prompted solely by a consideration of the welfare of the police department. We assure you that no injustice has been done and believe the matter | should be considered closed.” The | report was accepted. ‘Will Not Buy Wood. The tabled recommendation for the purchase of wood came up at the meeting. Alderman Richards and | Councilman Wells favored the project. Alderman Richards said that New Britain is short probably 10,000 tons of coal. Councilman Giilin was not in | favor of the measure and stated that already the mild weather has saved | considerable coal in the various home: | Charles F. in the city. It was generally the spirit of the meeting that the supply of coal | is not to be as short this year as many | think. Alderman Curtis remarked | that he read of an order from Wash- | ington stating that all miner-soldiers | should be sent home as soon as pos- sible in order that they might help in | getting the coal out of the mines. | Several made mention of the fact that | the stopping of fighting will turn a much larger amount of coal back into this country wfii«h would be used on transports, debtroyers, ete. It was al- 1 so the general sense of the meeting | that the city will have enough coal | for the winter. | A special appropriation of $1,000 ! was made to cover the deflcit made | the health board in fighting the epi- | demic of influenza. Messrs, Kenwin, Baker and | Wells were named a committes of three to act with the Americanization committee in regard to the ipossible use of the council chambers as place for the naturalization court. The following charter revision com- mittee was named: Alderman Rich- ards Spencer, Curtis and Paonessp and! Councilmen Wells, Towers, Byett, Gor- bach and Senator Klett, Represent: tives Cowert and Hall. Corporation Counsel Cooper is also a member. e IGNORANGE IS No EXGUSE, MAN FINED Auto Driver Pays $10 for Passmi Standing Trolley Car Charles Passinessa wiithout { 4 $10 rk-! was fined cost by Judge John H. } passing standing trolley on East Maia street yesterday morn- ing.
