THE NORWICH CHARTER PASSED THE HOUSE NELLIE DAVIS GUILTY AND PAID FINE OF $350 Total Amount Was About $500, Ide: of Appeal Being Abandoned—Four- | nier Goes to Prison—Many Cases Nolled or Continued. Not a Dissenting Vote on the Mo ure—Representative Webster Gave His Personal Views on Commission Government. (Special to The. Bulletin.) Hartford, May 10.—Entirely without debate or opposition the bill provid- ing for a revision of the charter of the v of Norwich and providing for 2 commission form of government thére- in passed the huse Wednesday. Such comment as was made on the bill wis by House Chairman Webster( Har- winton) of the commlttee on cities and boroughs, and was principally in the way of explanation that the members might know, in a general way, the nature of the provisions of the act. Mr. Webster said that the bill pro- vided for a new departure in legisla- tion in Connecticut and that it was| the first time a charter looking to-| ward the commission form of govern- ment had heen presented this state’s legislature for approval. It is practi- cally giving a new form of govern- | ment to one city in Connecticut, he said. “I do not approve of the com- mission form of government,” Mr. Webster said to the members of the house; “the legislative form, which has stood the test of a hundred vears, is good cnmough for me; but this char- ter was submitted Dy the citizens of Norwich and warmly supported before the committee and there was no ob- jection to it made before your com- mittee, 50 I recommend the passage of the bill” Mr, Webster.said that he wouvld not attempt to explain in detail the many provieions of the c¢harter, as this would take too much time and he mentioned that the text of the proposed charter had been printed in the file. He felt, he said, that the majority of the mem: bers were quite famlijar with the gen eral idea of government by commis sion, about the advantages and disad- vantages. of which has been printed in newspapers and periodicals. He ex- plained that it was provided that the matter of adopting the charter set forth in the act is subject to referen- dum to the people of Norwich and| that they will have an opportunity to | vote on the acceptance of it. In closing, Mr. Webster made yefer- ence to the possibility that years hence the commission form of government may prove to be the ldeal form of government. Mr. Webster sald after- wards, but not to the house, that while he did not personally favor govern- | ment by commission, believing it to be in the nature of a fad, it was evi- dent to the committee, that a desire | for the new charter was very strong in At New London Wednesday Nellie Davis was found guilty by a jury in | the criminal superior court of the| charge of harboring & minor female for the purpose of prostitution, in keep- | | ing, 17-year-old Cora Belanger in her house of_ill-fame in Norwich.

Attorney Comstock filed a motion to set aside the verdict ana Judge Burpee denied the motion. The charge against Andre Racine | of Norwich, charged with appropri- | | ating funds from a French insurance | society, was nolled. Restitution has been made by Racine, who is not over strong mentally. The case against Michael Cohen of Colchestér, charged with perjury, was nolled. Cohen is an old man, and is | a wreck, mentally and physically. His | wife is the complainant. Cohen tes- | tified_in divorce suit against his wife that he had resided here three years.

There was no further business and | the May criminal Yerm was adjourned | without day, and the jury was paid off | by Clerk Parsons. { At the close Clerk Parson had the term bills ready and they were taxed by Judge Burpee, thus closing up the business of the session promptly. by Mr. Webster and passed before ac- tion was taken on the bill as report- ed, Mr. Webster told the house that a portion of the phraseology changes provided for in the amendment were the recommendations of Governor Baldwin, therefore, it may not be pre- suming to anticipate that he will af- fix his signature to the bill when it comes to him after it passes the sen- | ate, where no opposition is anticipated and where it will be starred for actior next week. The vote in- the house was unani- mously in favor. The fact that the bil! was the first of its kind that ever ps of Connecticut seemed to espe- cially interest the members.
