The news that Captain Phelps had Deen stricken and of his critical con- dition was received with _sorrow among seafaring men, as well as by his many friends in this city. Captain Phelps has always bcen known for his kind disposition and pleasant manners, nd was universally liked by all with whom he came in contact. For abont 35 years he was in the employ of the ew England Navigation company,and as betler known as the master of the steamer Block Isiand, plying be- tween Norwich, New London and Block Island. Jan. 1 of this year he was appointed master of the freizhter New York, succeeding Captain Semuel L. Crock- er, resigned. Although in the employ of the Central Vermont railway but a month, he was held in high esleem bv the officials of the road, and regret was expressed at his death.

On Monday afternoon Captain Phelps was in this city and attended Poli's theater, leaving here with Mrs. Phelps late in the afternoon. He had not complained of feeling bad. Capt. Phelps had a wide acquaint- ance here. He was highly esteemed, being a man-of guiet manner but a man_ of integrity and uprightness in all dealings. He was a most capable captain and his services were much sought. He was ¢ vears of age and is survived by his wife. He was a member of St. James lodge of this city. GRAND OFFICERS COMING.

Hartford, Jan. 31.—If the members of the committee on cities and bor- oughs were not deeply impressed with the idea that the people of the city of Norwich want at least an opportunity to upon the question of estab- lishing a commission form of govern= ment there, it is not bzcause they did not hear enough sald in favor of the proposition when they gave a hearing on the matter at the capitol Tuesday afternoon. In fact, of all the repre- sentative Norwich men that were heard bgr the committee not one had other than incidental criticisms to make of the plan, while the expressions in its favor were so generous and so numer- ous and of such a varied natur: that Senator Bartlett. chairman of the com- mittee, finally interposed the sugges- tion that those in favor of the measure give way to those who might desire to be heard in opposition. There was no opposition to be heard, however, aside from some criticisms that had been presented by speakers who were in favor of the plan as a whole and by others who felt like presenting. for the consideration of the committee, a few points relative to the wording of cer- tain sections of the proposed charter that were not quite in accord with their own ideas relativa thereto. Not a Partisan Measure. ‘The keynote of all that was said during the hour and three-quarters that the session lasted was that the proposed measure does not -emanate from a partisan source, but is favored by all politicai parties and combina- tions in Norwich as a whole; that it will simplify the form of government there and probably free the city from what one speaker characterized as con- ditions unbearable; that it will give the city a more economical and business like admanistration, and, finally, that its provisions will place responsibility on administrative officers in such a direct and certain manner that theirs shall be the credit for duties ably ¢ charged or make them the rightfu subjects for retributive action by the electors in the event of their failing to give a satisfactory service. ‘Though the credit for originating the proposed plan was not accredited to any particular source, the speakers be fore the committee laid stress on the point that a majority of those who ap- peared in advocacy of it were republi- cans, indicating that it is favored in Norwich in a general rather than in a partisan way. Corporation Counsel Opens Remarks. Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fan- ning made the introductory remarks to the committee and iatroduced those that followed him. Attorney Fanning reviewed the pro- cedure of the cilizens of Norwich in the selection of a charter commiscion and the various other phases of the development of the work of formulat- ing and framing the petition now be- fore the general assembly. His re- marks also had to do with the legal factors in the new proposition, includ- ing reference to the last section of the proposed @ct, which provides that it will not becoms effective unlees ap- proved by the electors of the city of Nor h at the annual meeting to be held the first Monday in June, 1911, and also to the fact that the mecsure originated with the city and may be sither continved or rejected by it. Attorney Fanning suggested to the committee in reference to Sectlon 4 of the mroposed charter. that it might be amended by adding the words tax collector and city sheriffs to tho list of elective officers named in that sec- tion. He said to the committee that e would leave the matter of discuses- ng of the referendum. initiative and recall clauses to the members of the charter commission, who were prese but before closing his remarks at th time pointed out to the committae that the adoption of the proposed charter would allow of materially decreasing the number of city officlals. the coun- cil from thirteen to five. and permit of aceurately fixing the responsibility on particular ones with the administration of each branch of the municipal government. Principal Tirrell Explains. Henry A. Tirrell. chair charter commission, was a very interesting speaker. said he would like to committee what the tried to and make city re; to get tb it befor not to secy e siy rmers, but vich a hetter and m ornm he n and not to tear ¥ government. the work of the commission, the hear- ings, mectings, ete., and of its efforts nformation hy submitting series of quest ‘e to phase: of government by com on to man persons in many places. The commi m has lahored to correct various de- fects. Mr. Tirrell nointed out that un- der the present city sovernment in Norwich' there are five or more fie~al years in various departments, ending srent times throughout the year, id the bookkeeping system should ndardized so as to have but one fiscal year. This is orovided for un- der the proposed charter. The speaker pointed out further that it also pro- vides for publicity relative to all trans- actions of the city. Mr. Tirrell after paying a tribute to the adequacy of the old town system of government said that the commission had tried to bine as many as possii ¢ features of town government with those of city government, with the ides t would fix rightfully ved and de nce to 1 id that rescinded of the ap- ments it as far the old ¢ rel whatever is not defin the ol arter would remain in fo - proposed one e told the ity meeting had or of the new measur aid: e want vou to give the cilizens a right to vote on it.” Proper Use of Department Profits. Frederic . Cary, aiso of the char- ter commission, followed Mr. Tirrell, He told of the work of that body in- vestigating the city departments and of securing ail available new and mproved city charters with a W of getting at all the good points that ought to be incorporated into the new Norwich charter. He said that the present charter of Norwich was reviscd 1876. Since then the city upon municipal owner | ship. and the condition of operating 1 anged.

The new charter, sec- tlons, 67-68, provides for specific de- positing of these funds. Mr. Cary be- Heved that the present deplorable con- dition relative to the water supply would not have been possible under the proposed charter. Difficulties with the water supply question have kept the city in a turmoil for ten years. Mr. Cary said that the provisions of the new charter placed the responsi- bility in each department on one man, who would be subject to recall by ten per cent. of the voters, while five per cent. of the voters is all that would be required to get a proposed ordin- ance before the board. Mr. Cary said that some features of the proposed charter are different from those of other cities of the commission form of government. Charters had been secured from Galveston, Des Moines, Berkley, Cal, Haverhill, and other cities. The endeavor of the Nor- wich commission had been to overcome the defects in these, as well as to in- sert mew ideas. The proposed charter guards against deadlocks in the dis- tribution of offices and has many other features to commend it. Government Nearer to the People. Hibbard R. Norman said the object in framing the plan was to bring the government nearer to the people. It would promote - publicity in relation to city affairs and would establish the initiative, referendum and recall; he believed it would be the means of in- teresting a greater number in the ad- ministration of the city affairs. Pub- licity would be the greater feature of the new charter, and a powerful sen- timent had alréady manifested itself in its favor. Mr. Norman said he did not consider the scheme perfect. but the essential features are wanted. Present System Wasteful. Charles H. Haskell saild that each member of the commission had taken up one line of investigati He, therefore, discussed the financial feat- ures of the subject, recommending the standardizing of the method of keep- ing the city’s accounts. The present system is wasteful. He said that the fiscal vear in all departments should end December 21. He believed in a centralized keeping of accounts and in centralizing in the purchase of sup- plie operation without dupl tion; in effecting a system of economy Statistics of the Commission, As secretary of the charter comm sion, Herman Alofsin, 2nd. gave the committee some interesting facts rel- ative to the commission form of gov- ernment. quoting statistics from cor- respordence that he has received from sources 1 tive to important points under the suggested form of government, He read several ques- tions that had been framed by the ssion and sent to many persons as| plies.

Charities Features Emphasized. Rev. P. C. Wright discussed the new n from a somewhat different angle | the otner speakers. He said he had been a resident of Norwich for nine vears and was Interested in its public affairs. He said he did not hope that a new charter would correct every error, but he believed it would improve in many waye. He said that during the nine years of his residence there the city had been brought into several situations that might be remedied through such a form of government as the one proposed. The citizens might be given an oppor- tunity to express themselves and if after five years they were dissatistied might return to the present charter. Taking up the public charities features, Rev. Mr. Wright said that partisan polifics in relation thereto sometimes to ious conditions of affairs, ited incidentally the fact that the outslde poor account in Novrwich last v everal thousands of dollars in the larger ¢ity of New s0 mentioning that the cost om year to year. He lieved that continuousness of admin department as provided for uniler proposed form would show fine resuits. He believed, he said. that under the new charter the cost of public charities couki be reduced. He eileved the experiment worth a trial Fixing Personal Responsibility. Edwin A.

Tal- bot, Eliza Ann Talbot, Abigail M. Ol- sen amd Gilbert E. Tatbot. It wae tes- tified that during his last sickness the deceased was suffering from diabetes and his iliness was very painful. He was under opiates mueh of the time. It was testified that he appeared of unsound mind snd_that he talked ip 2 peculior manner. The setting aside of the deed is asked for on these grounds. Dr. Walker told of his being kept un- der opiates and others said he was not able to sact business, D. B. Talbot thought the interes the farm worth from $600 to $700. He said he had not threatemed to make trouble for his dister, the defendant, for not making an agreement to look after the brother and pay all his bills later on, in as much as she was given the farm. Gilbert Talbot told of his brother being taken from his home in Lisbon to Mrs. Burlingham's, as it was easier for the doctor to attend him there. He was brought here by auto though it was said he had expressed the wish to go to Mrs. Olsen’s. This compieted the testimony for the plaintiff as the Arst witness for the defense, Geo. W. Talbot of Brookiyn, brother of the Talbot, testified that he saw ¢ last June and spent two or with him. There was nothing about his mind which irgli- cated any weakness. He gave the wit- ness his_watch. Mrs. Flora LeTerre of Morris Park, L. was at her mother's home here iast July when her uncle was there. He did not appear any different than at previous times. Papers were read to Mr. Talbot on July 7 and Mr. Tal- Dot said he did not want to sign them. He soon changed his mind and Dow Talbot brought them back and Thomas Talbot signed them on July 8. There was an agreemtnt and deed. He sald Mrs. Burlingham was the best sister he had. Attorney Browning asked him several times if he wanted to sign them and cach time he said he did. At this point court was adjourned until this morning at ten o'ciock. AT POLY'S. Lynwood.
