It carries with it an intolerant spirit, a mean dis- position, and a fault-finding manner. There must not be too much justness in this country. The deeds must be filtered and sugar ooated. The just man is the man who demands that ev- erybody come up to his standard.

Detective Hazelhurst Ri Charles Hazelhurst of this city and Frank Decker of New London, special agents on the Shore Line division of the New Haven road, have resigned, their resignations having already taken effect. The reason, it is stated, is be- ‘cause of a lack of harmony among the numerous detectives. Mr. Hazelhurst has been a rallroad detective for a number of years and was perhaps the best known of the New Havens' agents. As a detective Mr. Hazelhurst is kxown as one of the most energetic and fearless officers in the state. His work for the railroad has been hi~"" successful and the professional crook that he does not know or remember is a rarity. Ralph Coit a Fellow.
