His_appointment was by Congressman E. W. Higgins of Norwich, and was made through the _efforts of the late James M. Puine. He will be one of the very few young men that have ever en- tered “the famous academy from this gection of Windham county, and the first to entef from Danielson in prep- aretion for service in either the army or navy since Ensign Walter Jacobs, now of the cruiser Salem, went to An- napols. .

All of his studies have been made in’the schools of the town of Killingly, and the foundation that has opened the way to a verv de- sirable career secured within them. After taking his examinations at Fort Slocum_he returned to Daniclson and resumed his studies, and will remain in the high school until near the time that it will be necessary for him to go to West Point. This will be so earlv | in the summer tfat he will ot be abla | te graduate with his class, but he will receive the diploma that he so fully de- serves. As one of the very youngest mem- ‘bers that may enter Uncle Sam’s great military institution he will be graduat- od as the junior ef about everyone in his class, and if he remains in the ser- vice, becsuse of this fact will be in active service after tley have gone on to the retired list, which vista of the istant future carrles promise of high- er rank than comes to many army of- ficers. Mr. Warren wil! enter the academy with a strong inherent military instinct. His father has years of service to his credit as a member of the Connecticut National Guard, in which he rose to the runk of captain and was in com. mand of the local company for several vears, being also one of the best shots in the state. .'

These | |a way Case. Court B. Bliven has permission to produce the Jeffries-Johnson fight pic- tures in Bliven opera house. After a protest by some of the ministers and church members about ten’days ago, license for the pictures was denied, but after the gouncilmen had witniessed a private exhibition of the pictures they assured ‘Mr. Bliven that he 6ould get license at an early date to show the pictures, as they were not to the minds of the councilmen as black as painted. Last Monday Mr. Bliven took out the licenses for the week and as is his cu tom, did not specify the exhibitions to be glven. Thursday, the fight plc- tures were advertised, and the police committee, Councilmen Burdick and Culley, served notice upon Mr. Bliven that he must not attempt to show the pictures, as he had no legal license, the claim being made that the coun- ell did not have the authority to del- egate the power of issuing licenses to the town clerk; This notice was served Saturday morning and st noon there was a special meeting of the town council to decide whether license showd be issued for the fight pictures. All the members of the council were present except President Clarke and his absence Councilman Albert H. Langworthy presided. Mr, Burdick told of the legal steps the committee had taken under the guidance.of the town solicitor to prevent the presentation of the fight pictures, and claimed they acted entirely within the authority that was vested in them by the town couricil and in compliance with the statutes. Manager Bliven said he had acted in. good faith and supposed he had proper license for the ex n until he received contrary notice from the police committes, He then made for- mal application to .the council for U- censes for entertainments in Bliven opera house on Safurday afternoon and evening and on every evening of the next week. He sald he had an illegal license it was applied for and granted in the regular way that had obtained for years. He declared that if he had viclated any law there was for prosecutiom, but believed the determined action to interfere with his business was persecution. He asked for licenses to not cover only Saturday but for all of the following week, as he did not want to cause a maeeting of the council daily: just to act 6n his application for amusement Bap- licenses. . F: C. A Jones of Calvary lled the fact that at ort time ago, after he had mate representation that the fight pictures were . demoralizing 'to the noral conditions of the town, the end had been reached, as the council took no action favorable to. license or oth- erwise, but with the understanding that no. license for the pictures would be granted. Consequently, when he heerd that license had been obtained for the exhibition he.was astonished. He said he did not intend to reflect upon Mr. Bliven or his playhouse, but the best interests in the town were opposed to_this particular exhibition. He asked the council not io grant the license just to gratify a group of peo- ple who are on the side that tends to lower the moral standing of the com- munity, as the best moral Interests of the beautiful town were against it. Rev. Samuel M. Cathoart of the Congregational church spoke with oon- siderable emphi at the econclusion of the remarks of Rev. .Mr. Jomes, pounding the council table repeatedly to drive home the peints of his re- marks to the councilmen. He had sup- posed the whole question of the fight pictures had been sottled. The speaker said he had no personal feeling againet Mr. Bliven and could extend to him his right hand in friend- ship, although he did mot think Mr. Bliven would reciprocate. Mr. Catheart then d from a newspap ing that the Contest of the Tioen s a fight between the ministers and the manager and that he was going to give the show in spite of the ministers. Mr. Cathcart said he was violating no breach of confidence when he in- formed the council that Mr. Bliven had taken out the llla for this show over the heads of the directors of the Holmes, Jri, superin- opera house. . William H. tendent of schools, said that to per- mit such an exhibition to be given in the town of Westerly, or to even per- mit the posting of the vulgar posters announcing the event, was demoraliz- Re t a meeting a re ing to the youth of the town and should not be permitted. Rev. John G, Dutton, pastor of .the Broad Street - Christian church, said he keartily endorsed all that had been salé by Brothers Jones and Cathcart, and insisted that the coundil take defi- nite action ,on the matter before them and not shirk any responmsibility, as thelr constituency had the right to know just where the councilmen stood on this very important matter. Mr. Bliven: declared that the truth had been voiced in every statement he had- made, which included ihe fact that the councilmen had assured him that he could have license for this partieular moving picture show upon making the usual application. Charles Perry asked Mr. Bliven if President Clatie had informed him that he cquld have licemse for this Show and Wir. Bliven replied that he certainly did. right after an informal session of the council in the opera house. Councilman Burdick declared that the police committee under statute rights had taken up the license mat- ter in this particular case and bac lieved its settlement should. be left with_that committee, of which he is one-half, rather than by the whole couneil. Councilman Maurice W./Fiynn stat: ed that Mr. Bliven had stated the true situation when he said that when made renewed application for the Fottrios Tonmson Asht. piotures the li- cense would be granted. Councilman Langworthy corroborat- ed and none of 'the other councilmen contradicted. Charles Perry said that the coun- il would stand better with the com- munity if refusal of the license was made. It was a moral question and should be settled herc and not per- mitted to go unnoticed. After fur- ther remarks by Mrs. Waite, = Mr. Waite, Rev.
