Tax of Sixteen Mills for the Year— Other Busi The annual business meeting of Montville was called to order at 2 p. m. on Monday. Charles W. Comstock was chosen as chairman of the meeting’ and Martin V. B. Bralnard as clerk. The first business before the meet- ing was the disposal of the manage- ment of the town highways for the ensuing year. It was resolved by unanimous vote to leave the man- agement of the highways in the hands of the selectmen. It was voted to levy a tax of sixteen mills on the srand list for the present year. Action was next taken on the be= quest of Mary E. Crandall, late of Cuba, N. Y.~ of the sum of $1,000 to the town for the purpose of es- tablishing and maintaining a public library in Palmertown, on condiiton that the town furnish at least an equal sum for the same purpose. Aft- er some discussion, it was decided to let the matter stand over for a while, and a committee of three, con- sisting of John E. Brown, George H. Bradford and Silas H. Browning, was appointed to look into the matter and report to the next annual business meeting. The motion to take action on the unexpended balance of state aided road building appropriation was post- poned for an indefintte period. It was decided to levy a tax of seven mills as an equalization tax to com- ply with the requirements of the stat- ute enacted by the general assembly during the past session which trans- ferred the management of public schools from the several districts to town supervision.

EXPRESS COMPANY FIGHT. New Haven Road Said to Favor Amer- ican Express Company. Thursday's Miadletown Sun said: Baggage is now being carried over the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company as well as the Ads ams express. This fact is causing well Informed railroad men to wonder whether the New Haven road is to quit dealing with the Adams Expret company and have the American E: press company do its business, or whether both express companies are to be favored. Some time ago the New Haven road had considerabie trouble with the ‘Adams Express company according to reports, and at that time there was talk of the railroad company going over to the American Express com- wy. Tt is understood that Presi- dent Mellen of the railroad compan: favors the American Express com- pany and that it was he who ordered the American Express train put on.

The defendants led many wit- nesses to testify to the good character of the mer accused of purchasing the stolen_copper as follows: Patrick Cas- sidy, Robert W. Perkins, Frank T. Maples, Herbert M. Leron, Thomas EH. Beckley, Joseph C. Worth, Joseph D. Preiffer, Arthur D. Lathrop, Frank H. Woodworth, John B. Stanton, Edward L. Abel, Stephen H. Reeves, John Woodmansce, Frank H. Smith. Philip Davidson was the next wit- ness. He is from Westerly, where he said Mr, Goldfaden was doing business with him on March 20, 1907. He claim- ed (hat he did not talk with Gordon at Putnam, as Gertz had claimed. He had been to Putnam about that. time, he said, to talk over business with Louls Gordon, who died in New York nine months_ ago. Tha state attorney claimed that Gertz claimed it was a man who looked like Davidson was n-ar Gordon 3t Putnam on the date named Mrs. M. H. Medbury, manager of the Putnam Telephone Exchange, was call- ed by the defendants to testify to sev- eral messages being sent to the Nor- wich Bottle and Junk corporation in the month named. There was a dis- cussion regarding the testimony, and it was decided to delay it and she will be called late: George E. Pitcher, civil engineer, was next called and was on the stand under cross examination when court adjourned for the day. He described again the location of property on the West Side and also testified to the location of the Fox house, which is diegonally across West Main street from the old watering trough. It is the second building west of Forest street. There is a basement but ng cellar there, three sides of the base- ment being open. Testimpin g6 Mind Chirachir Giterwin Cogpér Wivs Cal —Superior Court Spent Another Day in Hearing Testimony Under cross examination, _ Mr. Pitcher told of the brush along Eliz- abeth street and ‘that at the end there was a quantity of it, so that a team could mot be seen there in winter. 1t would not be ‘possible to see there from apy house and a team could: be in the Jot near the cellar 4t the end of the street, he thought, without be- ing seen. There was Some contro- versy between State Attorney Hull and " Attorney Shields regarding the affidavit of Gertz, wip said that the copper was taken to Fbx's house while Mr. Shields was inquiring about the Fox cellar. Mr. Shields agreed that it should be the Fox house. Attorney Hull asked Mr. Pitcher about the Goldfaden house, the witness stating that he was familiar with the cellar of the house and told of partitions there. He was not allowed (o testify further regarding this, as it was not cross examination. He told of the ap- pearance of the exterior and said that there was an outside cellar door at an angle. On the Fox house he said there was no cellar door at an angle but there was a perpendicular ome. The state attorney claimed the right to ex- amine on this point to show that Gertz had confused the houses and that the description of the Fox house was that of the Goldfaden house, where the copper was taken. Tomlinson Case. The defendants have many more witnesses to call in this case, includ- ing the defendants themselves, and it is expected that the matter will oc- cupy the greater part of the week, it not all of it. -It was expected that the Tomlinson case would be reached this week, but it can hardly be before Friday, if it is then, the accused being in jail’ under $5,000 bonds. This and the murder case, it is expected, will complete the business of the session. Civil Matter Heard. During the noon hour Tuesday Judge Wheeler heard the unfinished case of the Central Nafional bank vs. O. E Stoddard, both parties of Middletown, which matter was started Saturday at the short calendar session. Frederick Vinal and C. H.

Butterworth of New Haven. State Senator Frank S. Butterworth of New Haven, once famous football player, and son of Representative But- terworth of Ohio,'was on Tuesday ap- pointed receiver of the Gilbert Trans- portation company of Mystic by Judge | James P. Platt in the circuit court of th> United States at Hartford under a bord of $50,000. The complainants asking that a re- ceiver be appointed, says the Hartford Times, are Samuel R. Rosoff of New York, whose claim is $4,300; the Mer- ritt & Chapman Derrick and Wrecking company of West Virginia, $1,646.28; Charles E. Ball of Massachusetts, owner of 110 shares of the common stock and 110 shares of the preferred stock of the company; William B. Smith of Massachusetts, $4,000, and Granville Whittlesey of Massachusetts, 1,600. History of Organization. The Gilbert Transportation company was organized in 1905 for the purpose, among other things, of owning, man- aging and operating a fleet of vessels for the carrying of cargoes to and from foreign and domestic ports. The cap- ital stoek of the corporation that has been issued and is outstanding is $860,000, divided into 4,357 shares of preferred stock and 4,243 shares of common stock, both of which are of the par value of $100 each. The com- plaint states that on or about Aug. 15, 125, the corporation made and exe- cuted a mortgage to the Manufactur- ers’ Trust company of Providence, R. I, of all its property, then owned or thereafter acquired, to secure an issue by said defendant,corporation of its mortgage, bonds o the authorized amount of $1,250,000, payable Jan, 1, 1926, with interest payable semi-annu- ally at the rate of 8ix per cent, a year, of which authorized issue bonds to the amount of about $285,000 are now outstanding. It is further stated that the Thames Loan and Trust company of Norwich was on May 3, 1906, sub stituted as eaid mortgagee in the place of the Manufacturers’ Trust company and is now the duly authorized and acting mortgagee. After the original mortgage was executed, the complaint states, the defendant corporation caused to be made and executed to said mortgagee certain supplemental mort- gages of property it had up to the re- spective dates of said supplemental mortgages acquired. Since the date of the last supplemental mortgage the defendant corporation has acquired certain other vessels and property that by the terms of said original mortgage are subject to it, but for which no sup- plemental mortgage has been made and executed by the defendant corporation to the said mortgagee. To Continue Business. The rveceiver is authorized to issue receiver's certificates to obtain funds necessary to continue the business, providing the certificates shall bear in- terest at a rate not excéeding six per cent, a year. 8T.

Had Asked Opinions as to Non-At- tendance at Church. “Why is not the church more pop- ular with the masses?: wis the sy ject of a discourse by the Rev. George M. Brown of the First Methodist church, Bridgepert, Sunday evening. The pastor did not attempt to reply or supply the answer. Instead he read a number of replies of busy men of the town, the layman, whose replies were as varied their occupations, look at the church from different views. In prefacing his discourse, the Rev. Mr. Brown said that he was constantly inquiring what the people thought of the work of the and perhaps t pastor and the church, because he al- ways found in the answers a stimu- lant. T s the reason that he asked a number of ques ms, and from the fuct that rio games wers to mentioned, it gave those who did re- ply an opportunity to express their thoughts with the fullest. frankness: The first letter that the pastor read was from a business man, who said in his letter that the church is mot the educational force today that it was in the past. The schools, the maga- zines and the newspapers take the place of the pulpit, even in question: of church government and poliey. The ministry in most cases have not kept up with the times. This was an age of the specialist. The minister should be a specialist to his calling. The people seek just plain Biblical truths and not religlous lectures. The letter went on to state that the aver age man resents sentimentalism in the pulpit. The writer said that sometimes the preachers resort to the telling of a pathetic story to excite the sentiment of his hearers to express a . point which 1s relished because ft is'a trick to sympathy.—Bridgeport Telegrax win = STATE PRISON EARNINGS.
