The case has been con- tinued from this week. Feeless Voting This Year. Not a cent for tribute! This, it is understood, is the ultimatum that has been issued to the coterie—a large one —that always expects ‘to be paid for voting “properly” on the license ques- tion in Killingly. “Legitimate” ex- penses will not be admitted as evi- dence this year, Is a case of vote if you want to; if you don’t, stay at home. The joke of the thing is that the fellows who expect to be reimburse ed for voting that they really want and use are said to be very much upset over the new order of things. They must feel themselves slipping. There is going to be a struggle over license in Killingly next Monday, neverthe- less, and a hot one, but it will be dif- ferent, as far as “fees” are concerned. Town Supervisor of Schools Mooted. The town school committee has discussed the advisability of appoint- ing a supervisor of schools for the town of Killingly, If such an arrange- ment can be made without too great an expense. The sentiment of the committee is that such action seems proper, but a thorough investigation of the’proposition will be made, prob- ably after the reorganization of the committee following the annual town election. Under the enactment of the last legislature Brooklvn is in line for having a supervisor appointed at the expense of the state, and jt may be possible to make arrangement to have one man do the supervising in both towns. Must Go to HEALTH OFFICER To Continue to Disinfect Houses Where Persons Have Died of Tuber- culosis. Dr. W. H. Judson, health officer for the town of Killingly, in his_annual Teport, just issued, says: “We have had 1o epidemies outside of measles and whooping cough during the past year. About 12 cases of reported Scarlet fever, scattered through as many months, were investigated and only four genuine cases were found. “Three sudden deaths from diph- theria in July, one in Ballouville, in September one In Dayville, and_in January one in Attawaugan is all that have been reported. Each was from local conditions. We have just com- menced to disinfect the houses where persons with tuberculosis have been reported to have died, and should any- one know of such a death where it has not come under my motice, I shall be glad to. attend to the disinfection of the place (as required by law) for the protection of the future occupant: A town health officer cannot alway: abate a nuisance when complained of, as his instruetions are not to involve 2 town in any legal fight, unless he (the health officer) can establish evi- dence that the nuisance is a detriment to public health. Ofttime all the sat- isfaction that a complainant gets is advice to use civil action concerning the nuisance.” The schoolhouses have been exam- ined and are up to the usual stand- ard, there having been no diseases found that could be traced to the schools. The schoolhouses were mnot disinfected this summer, as is the cus- tom in cities every year. HUTCHINS FUND. Income for the Year Amounted to $250 F. P. Warren, James N. Tucker, and Rowland R. James. committes in charge of the Shubael Hutchins fund, have filed their annual report to the town of Killingly. ‘The income for the vear has amounted to $250 which with the balance at the close of the year 1909 made a working fund of $298.46. Of this amount $220.46 has been paid to poor and sick residents. The bal- ance in the hands of the committee on August 1, 1910, was $73. School Calendar. Following is the school calendar as arranged for the present year in Kill- ingly. The present fall term will close on December 22, the winter term to be- 8in on Tuesday, January 3, 1911. The winter term will close- on Friday, March 17. The spring term will ex- tend from Tuesday, ~March 28, to Thursday, June 22. This arrangement applies only to the high school.

Members with Lack of Interest in Temperance ‘Movement. John T. Shea of Cambridge, Mass., national secretary of the C. T. A. ., was the speaker 4t @ temperance mass meeting In the town hall Tuesday eve- ning. The opening of the mestin was preceded by a street parade. an concert by St. James band, a feature thet attracted many to the hall. Rev. Clarence Barber, pastor of the Con- gregational chfirch, introduced the speaker of the evening. % Mr. Shea, who i8 no stranger to Danielson audlences. wa® as magnetic and forceful as ever in his attack on the liquor traffic; in fact. his address was as convincing an argument as has onand Putnam | been heard here. He saw fit, how- ever, during his address to do an abso- lute injustice to the local membersh: of the Knigts or Columbus when he attempted to charge them with lack of interest in the great moral move- ment of prohibition—with not being local leaders in it. Why he should have selected the fraternal organiza- tion that has taken as high a stand as any in this country on this matter se- lected by itself and alone, is incom- prehensible to the members here, sev- eral of whom were listening to the address and they, were deeply in- censed at the unwarranted allusion. The incident was made doubly ag- gravating to them by the fact that the speaker claims membership in the K. of C. as does the writer. Mr. Shea’s tribute to the organiza- tion was, in the opinion of the local members, more than offset by the shadow of indifference that by infer- ence he cast upon them with a refer- ence to the fight on license. Dr. Colburn of South Norwalk to Speak Before Young Men's Club. Dr. J, M. Colburn of South Nor- walk will come to Danielson _this (Wednesday) ayening te give an ad- dress before the Young Men's club at the Congresational church. His subject will be Yesterdays. An invi- tation has been extended to the pub- lic to attend, and there will be no admission charged. PUTNAM Trial of Herbert Baker of Putnam for Attempting to Burn Pond House —lliness of Plainfield Juror. All of Tuesday’s session in the su- perior court was taken up with the case of the state vs, Herbert Baker of Pomfret, charged with attempting to burn the house of Judge T. D. Pond on May 17 last. Judge Gardiner Greene presided. Attorneys Charles E. Searls and E. Frank Bugbee, the latter of Willimantic, represent the state, and Attorneys Charles L, Torrey and Charles W. Comstock of Norwich are counsel for the defendant. The case was unfinished when adjournment was taken for the day. Tuesday was entirely given over to the presentation of evidence by the state. Owner Testifies. T. D. Pond, at whose home in Brooklyn the fire occurred, was the first witness. His testimony had to do mostly with matters preceding the fire. Mr. Pond is the administrator o the estate of Solomon Baker, father of the defendant, and also wrote the Wil of the deceased at the latter's dictation, about two weeks previous to his death, a short time before the fire. The will made Mrs. George Ba- ker, wife of Herbert's brother, sole heir to the estate. Long List of Witnesses. Other witnesses heard Tuesday were Mrs. Charles Downs of Brooklyn. who discovered the fir Charles Blake, Mrs. D. C. Parks, Jailer Albert S Fields, Frank Young, John Johnson, all of Brooklyn; Mrs. Horace D. Covell of Pomfret, Chief George M. Pilling of Danielson and _ State Policeman Robert Hurley of Hartford, who ar- Tested Baker the day after the fire. The testimony of the majority of the witnesses had to do with what occurred at the time of the fire and about following a trail of footprints that led from the rear of the Pond house through a plowed fleld and across country in the direction of Pomfret, in which town Baker lives. John Johnson, coloreq, for 88 vears a resident of Brooklyn, and a coach- man in the employ of D. B. Hatch, testified that on the night of the fire, which was dlscovered after 2 a. m. he was driving home from Danielson when, about 9.30, he met a man about half a mile east of Brooklyn, walking along the highway toward Danielson. Johnson said that he said, “Hello, Rob!” to the man, whom he thought was a friend named Robbins. The man did not answer, and Johnson said that upon closer scrutiny he saw the fellow was the man whom he aft- erwards recognized at the jail as Ba- ker. Johnson said it was bright moon- light when this chance meeting on the road occurred. He felt certain that Baker was the man he saw. State Policeman’s Evidence. The most interesting evidence of the day, however, was given by State Policeman Hurley. He told of going to Brooklyn to start his investigation the morning after the fire. Reviewing conditions at the Pond house, he related details of the dam- age caused in one room and to furni- ture by the blaze and said that there was a strong odor of kerosene about the scene of the fire. Going on with his narrative of what he did after inspecting the house Hur- ley told of picking up the trail of foot- prints through the plowed field and across country toward Pomfret and gave the names of those who went with him. He told of the trail ending in Pom- fret and of going to Baker's home. Baker was not there, the witness said, but Mrs. Baker was and to her he made known that he was looking for her husband. He learned that Baker was employed at Peck’s farm, about 2 mile distant, Hurley made an in- vestigation at the house before leav- ing and identifled a coat which he told of taking from a hook near the entrance to Baker's bed room. The coat, on the right side, smelled of ker- oserie ofl, especially about the pocket, which was bulged. Arrested Bakor. From the house Mr. Hurley and his party went to Peck’s farm, where Ba- ker was found and arrested. He smell- ed of ofl, said the witness, and there were signs of oil on his jumper. This garment was_exhibited fn court and identified by Mr. Hurley. Mr. Hurley testified that he told Ba- ker that he wanted him for setting fire to Mr. Pond’s house and quoted Baker as saying that he knew noth- ing about the fire. and further as say- ing that “all you have got on me is the trouble over Pond's will’; that Pond drew the will of which he was administrator, that its terms had cut him (Baker) out, and that he did not know it until he found It out at his father's funeral. Much of this con- versation took place in the automo- bile in which Baker was being con- veyed to jall. Shoe Fitted Footprints. Hurley sald that when the party arrived at a point in the road near where tracks were to be seen in a nearby field he had the machine stop- ped and had Baker take off his shoe. The witness said that the shoe fitted perfectly into the track of the trail that the officer had followed earlier in the day, even to the heel plate, the print of which was left clearly in the soft_soll. ‘When he got back to the automobile Hurley said that Baker asked him if he had been fitting the shoes into the tracks and that he replled “It looks like it” Baker then told the witness that he had gone through the flekd the previous Sunday. Hurley slso told of ftting the shoe into other tracks at another point and that they fitted as perfectly as in the other instance. Explained About O Baker, Hurley sald, explained that he got the oil on his' jumper by sa ing that he did it while cleaning his boy's bicycle on the Sunday previous Relative to this point Hurley quoted the elder Baker boy as saving in a room at the jail on the day of the ar- rest that no bicycle was cleaned at his place that night, exce that his brother had cleaned his a little, Plainfield Juror Il At this point the trial was inter- rupted through the lliness of a juror, W. H. H. Hutchins of Plainfield, one of the panel, asking through Consta- ble Gardner to be excused. Judge Creene declared a recess of fifteen minutes, but as it was then after five oclock little further progress was made. The case will be resumed this (Wed- nesday) morning. The Jury. The jury is made up of E. L. James, Ashford; Elmer Bennett, Canterbury J. Edward Whitford, Chaplin; John C. Taber, Adelbert E. Weldon, Scot- land; John K. Grifiths, Sterlin George H. Gallup, Sterling; Charles H. Olin, W. H. H. Hutchins, Plainfield; Claud M, Munyan, Thompson. City Notes. Miss Payton of Tarboro, N.

By vote of 271 to 87, not al arge vote, but a convincing one, the city of Putnam went on record at the spe- clal cfty meeting held on Tuesday as being in favor of municipal owner- ship of the local water works system. The result was not a surprise, as there has been a strong sentiment in favor of such action. While the vote does not obligate the city to purchase it opens the way to that end under the broad provisions of a special act en- acted in the leglslature of 1905 for procedure that will allow of definitely ascertaining at just what price the water sysiem may be acquired and under what conditions. Mayor Macdonald will within a few days name a committee of three cit- izens to represent the city in confer- ence with representatives of the wa- ter company, at which a discussion of the basis of sale may be conducted. Section 7 of the special ast above re- ferred to provides that the price to be paid for such water works and property shall be their fair and equit- able value. Section § of the act pro- vided that should the Putnam water company desire to_enforce the ohliga- tion of the city of Putnam to purchase the property, shall file with the clerk of the city within thirty days a de- tailed schedule deseribing their prop- erty and stating the terms of the sale proposed. If the parties fall to agree as to what shall be sold or what the terms of sale or delivery shall be, eith- er party may after thirty days after filing the schedule apply by a peti- tion to the superior court of the coun- ty, setting forth the facts and pray- ing an adjudication between the par- ties, and thereafter such court or judge shalil after notice and hearing appoint a commission of three disinterested persons who shall give the parties an opportunity and thereafter adjudicate whether the property contained in the schedule, including right and ease- ments, properly belongs to such Wwa- terworks company and should be sold by the one or purchased by the other, and_what the time, price and other conditions of sale shall be. This act also provides for appeals from the findings of the commission even up to the supreme court of errors.
