VETS | ELECTED TO DFFICE Sternberg Is Junior Vice Com-. mander—Schildge Is Delegate Hartford, April' 15.—By unanimous | vote on \the first ballot Christian Swartz of South Norwalk, past com- mander of Douglas Fowler Post, was elected department commander of the Connecticut G. A. R. at the final session of the state encampment at Unity hall today. The election of officers and an extended and spirited debate on a resolution permitting Sons of Veterans to ~attend Grand Army meetings, which was tabled, constituted the chief matters of busi- ness. The session abounded in both vigorous flashes of argument and oratory and in solemn touches as speakers referred to the fast depleting ranks of the G. A. R. and the fact that today was the anniversary of the assasination of President Lincoln. | Orrin M. Price, past commander of Sedgwick Post of Norwich, was, ®ectad senlor vicescommander. Al lively contest developed over the election of junior vice-commander between George Schildge, past com-, mander of Drake Post of South Man- | chester, and William F. Sternbers, past commander of Stanley Post, New Britatn. Mr. Sternberg was chosen, 81 to 48. By a rising vote Department Chap- lain Willilam F. Hilton of Hartford and Medical “Director Benjamin H. Cheney of New Haven were re- elected. They have held office several years. Laudatory remarks were made in connection with their nomi- nations. Last year's council of administra- tion was re-elected as follows: Henry L. Beach, Hartford; Henry J. Seeley, Bridgeport; Richard J. Cut- | bill, South Norwalk; Selah G. Blake- man, Derby; William L. Smith, New Haven. The following were elected dele- gates to the national encampment: George I. Buxton, FEast Norwalk: David M. Sharp, New Haven; W. J. Renfree, Winsted: S. J. Jerome.

These included the reappointed adjutant general and naster g9 Albert P, Stark | feel strong icourt at { John Seibert, et al., There was a vigorous debate on the | resolution which had been discussed at various previous state encamp- ments and had ‘been rejected at least six times by the national encamp- ment, as to whether sons of veterans should be permitted to attend G. A. R. meetings and do clerical and finan- cial work which some posts found to be beyond their powers. On motion of Mr. Cutbill of South Norwalk the resolution was tabled by a large ma- Jority. National Commander-in-Chief Wm. Ketchum addressed the encampment, saying: “Commander and boys: The two days that I have been in Hartford have been typical of this encampment. Yesterday was a clear, sunny, cheer- ful day. Nature was glad of your coming heve. Today skies overcast and drooping, the outdoors is gloomy and distressing. Nature regrets your degarture. 'That suggests the turther solemn thought How many of you will be at the next annual encampment. Safe to say that some of you who now and healthy will be mourned with the Grand Army that has gone but whose spirit is still with us. Let us increase that spirit while we are here.” A motion to merge the offices of chaplain and patriotic instructor was voted down. Chaplain Hilton made a strong plea for greater activity on )[cmoll.xl Ay, In closing 1!)0 encampment the commander reminded the veterans that it was 55 years ago today that President Lincoln was the victim of an assassin. -~ LOCAL DIVORCE CASES % Three local uncontested divorce | cases were on the calendar for trjal this afternoon in the superior court at Hartford.
