NIWANIS DEBATES LUNCHEDN PRICE Increase Annonnced by Hotel (Cause of Heated Discussion Disapproval of the raise in lunch- oon rates to the civic clubs by the Burritt hotel was expressed by members of the Kiwanis club today. who first voted down a motion wf inereaze the luncheon fees and then voted to take the matter up again next week. 4 On February 1 each of the civic clubs, Chamber of Commerce and other groups mceting at the hotel ‘were notified that the luncheon prices would be incrcased from 90 cents to $1. Yesterday the directors ©f the hotel voted to recommend a charge of $1.25 per member. The elub heretofore had been charging $1.10, the additional 20 cents in- cluding the tips to the waiters and the expenses of guests and repre- sentatives of the press. WILLIAM R. FENN New Kiwanis Club Secretary Announcement of the recommen- @ation of the dircctors was made by President Elmer W. Pape. Arthur E. Berg, district trustee, immedi- ately moved that the recommenda- tion be accepted and the new price adopted. The vote was opposed by C. W. Parker, who demanded to knqw what reason the hotel gave for the increase in price. He was informed that the new management is de- sirous of putting the hotel on a paying basis. Mr. Parker queried, “What will it eost us to eat at the Elks' club?” He was informed by Attorney Don- ald Gaffney, “About half our mem- bership.” The motion to raise the price to $1.28 was voted on and was lgst by | & vote of 17 to 20, with a number not voting. The motion was immediately re- peated by H. J. McKenha but was declared out of order. Attorney 8. Gorard Casle asked, “Where docs the extrs nickel go?" “The 16 cents won't take earc of any more than we have to take care of every week,” replied Mr. Berg. “Now that the motion is lost, where will the money come from to pay the bills?" asked Mr. Gaffney. “It's mot the extra nickel, it's the principle of the thing,” said Former Charity ' Buperintendent Willlam Cowlishaw, recommending that the added expense be absorbed by the dues. Post President J. W. Ward point- o8 out that by taking the money from the club treasury to make up a deficit, it would rob the under priv- {laged child fund of about $260 a year. “The money is going to come from us no matter how we pay It,” he mid. “The luncheon fee can be anything you want to make it, but the bal- ance must come out of your dues,” warned President Pape. Mr. Parker asked whether the #lud would lose members by raising the fes. He asked what the other clubs were doing. He was informed that the Rotary club has a higher rate of dues to take care of over- hoad and that the Lions’ club is con- sidering collecting fees quarterly in advancs. A motion to reconsider the origin- =1 motion was withdrawn. A motion to table the whole subject until next Wednesday was & tie and was -e- " clared & vote by Mr. Pape, the chair voting ip favor and breaking the tie. Attorney Edward A. Mag object- ed to letting the motion go over for & week without telling the hotel authorities of the club's disapproval. “This is the only place we've got to meet and we've got to meet here if we want to keep going,” he said. He added that prices of other hotels are less than {s charged here for lunch- | eons. “If they do lose $1,000 a year | on thelr present prices they might | make it up in good will of those who attend the clubs,” he #aid, adding that he belleved the new price was a “hold-up.” *“We ought to express our disapproval,” he added. President Pape announced the election of William R. Fenn as sec- retary to succeed John P. Hannon, resigned. Mr. Fens is a charter member and has been one of the most active members of the club. The speaker at today’'s mecting was General Russell Frost of the orwalk Kiwanis club. He spoke on Kiwanis Worth Whiie?" \ Estates Inventoried In Report to Court | ‘The estate of the late Albertina Modeen is valued at $5,544.60, ac- cording to an inventory filed in probate court today by David G.

PLUNKETT RETIRES; SERVED 48 YEARS (Continued From First Page) | United States and fier commerclal Cempetitors, Admiral Plunkett said preparedness “leads to peace and not to war.” ‘War Veteran | A veteran of the Spanish-Ameri- can war and the World war, Admiral Plunkett won one of his great dis- |tinctions while in command of a | group of 14-inch guns mounted on railroad cars, credited by General Pershing with playing a great part in one of the turning points of the ‘European struggle. | Admiral Plunkett was placed in | command of the third naval district |on December 1, 1922, after serving as chief of staff of the naval war | college and later as president.of the {board of inspection and survey.

HICKMAN GRINS AS NEW TRIAL BEGINS (Continficd From First Page) And there ended another chapler in California’s most atrocious crime. Liked Judge’s Volce “It was nice the way the judge said it,” Hickman said after recel ing sentence. - He then asked newspaper men to “tell the world I took it like a man.” Te emphasize his calm Hickman extended an arm that was free from nervousness. District Attorney Asa Keys sald he would force the trial for the murder of Ivy Toms, druggist, so that “a double noose can be placed around Hickman's neck.” Toms was shot while he held his arms over his head when two bandits that held up the store shot their way to freedom when cor- nered by a policeman. Hunt and Hickman admitted they were the bandits, but each blamed the other for the actual = shootin, although under California statute! they are equally guilty. The death sentence now facing Hickman will be delayed, in the opinion of Jerome Walsh and Rich- ard Cantillion, defense attorneys. They plan to appeal the case “to the last ditch,” they said. “We expected to be defeated in the moves today,” Cantillon said yesterday,.“and so concentrated our efforts on the superior court papers. ‘They will be ready soon.” Hunts Without License, Youth Is Under Arrest Charged with hunting without a license, Joseph Cook, aged 18 wears, was arrested late last night at his home, 309 East street, by Officer Peter MvEvoy and will be arraign- ed in Newington town court at 7:00 o'clock tonight.
