Ress Nichols oe- curred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. L. Palmer, in Lefingwell, about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, after an illness of about two years with heart and Kidney trouble. He was the last of his immediate family. W. Ross Nichols was born in Scot- land, Conn, August 2, 1834, but for many vears lived in_ this city, having been gardener for T. Y. Winship for many years. Because of failing health he was obliged to give this up two vears ago. Mrs. Nichols died last Feb- ruary. Since last Octover he had made his home with his daughter. He was well known in this city, where so many vears of his life were passed and was an excellent gardener. He belonged to no orzanization. He is survived by his daughter and a son, Warren Nichols of Williman- tic. There are six grandchildren. John M: Newton. After an illness with heart trouble and dropsy since last August, the death of John Maples Newton oc- curred at his home in Somerville, Muss, aboat $.30 Monday evening.

Newton was born in Nor- wich June 20, 1865, the only child of James W. and Nancy J. Maples New- ton, both of whom are deceased. His father started the grocery store at West Main and Asylum streets, and for vears the son was cmployed there as clerk. He was later employed in the W. H. Davenport Fire Arms com- pany and about seven years ago went to Somerville where ho opened a store where he continued for a vear and a half, since when he has been em- ployed by the Furbush company in the tallow business. He was a member of the Methodist church in Somerville, having previous- Iy belonged here, and also belonged to the United Workmer rnnd Modern Woodmen.

SMITH'S 1 STORE Lucius, Jf drug store to do a large retail drug! ‘ There was an all-day session of the city court on Tuesday because of the trial of the case against Reve W. H. McLean, who was brought here from Newport News, Va., on a charge of smbezzlement. It was claimed ;ghat had. the sum of 375 belonging to he New England Sick Benefit society of Norwich, he being president and treasurer of the ‘organization. He pleaded not gullty to the charge and Was defended by Attorney Browning. There were many interested in the case who remained in the courtroom throughout the trial, at the conclusion of which probable cause was found by Deputy Judge Barmes and the ac- cused held for the next term of the criminal superior - court under $200 bonds. It is probable he wil Isecure bail today. = ‘There wWere many witnesses called by both sides, it being testified that the accused had said from time to time that he was willing to square up the accounts as soon as by-laws and constitution were adopted and that he said he had the money in the bank, J. H. Perkins of the Dime bank tes- tified that he had had a small account in that bank, but never a large one, and that it was drawn out and closed up before he left this city. It was al- ways small.

He said that there came a time when he could not agree with some of the members, but he refused to turn over any of the funds until there was a treasurer reg- ularly chosen to look after the money. He said that the fotal amount was $64, from which' there were several amounts for expenses to be deducted until it was about $40 he owed the association. He told of his leaving the city and that it was generally known he was going. He said he had been ready to turn over tha money. He dénied that he had made an appgintment with some of the mem- berd to mect them after the annual meeting and sattle up the account, or that he said the money in the bank bad been atiached for board and other bills. 4 Thers was' a Drief argument favor- ing holding the accusea for the supe: ior court by City Attorney Hall, while Attorney Browning pleaded for the accased, saying he was not a fugitive from justice, had corsented to comc back here without any trouble, and that he should be acquitted, the mat- ter heing a tangle. and the trouble arising possibly from tne incomplete accounts and records. Deputy Judge Barnes held that a demand had heen made of the accused several times for the money. He told then the money was on hand in the bank, when, as a mafter of fact, it was not in the bank, and he had con- verted it. Probable cause was found and he was held.

The pluy- ground congress held in Washington, D. C, this month its fitth annual con- vention, and the follow article rel- ative to its scope and purpose is nished by the secretary of the clation, Howard Bronmslow. It s as %ood a statement as can be found: Are the people of the United States interested in playgrounds? In_ three weeks in December, 1910, our office. re- cetved over one thousand letters from all parts of the country asking about playground _ problems. Last - June, when the Playground Association of America held its congress at Roches- ter, over four thousand people weie présent at some of the sessions, ve: the sssociftion was not organtsed UnE 1906. Purpose. *Its purpose is to promote. mormal, wholesome play and public recreation. At first all the strangth of the Asso- ciation was concentrated on securing playgrounds for children. I 1907, 80 cities had playgrounds. In 1% the number had risen to 336. This yearyhe roster of cities will be about 500. The success of the playgrounds for children creatsd a demand for- recrea- tion centers for grown people. Cities found that the most effective means of fighting low dives, bad dance halla, and other vicious pleasure resorts, is in opening tha public school building, or some other suitable place, and pro- viding a chance for pleasure and amusement in decent surroundings. Already school buildings are used as Tecreation centers in 17 citiss. ‘When the Playground Association of America was organized no one imag- ined that in the vear 1909-1910 eight American citles alone would authorize bond issues for play centers to-the ta- tal amount of $2,000,000, ‘or that Cin- cinnati would this year spend $1,000.- 000 for public recreation, and Grand Rapids $200,000. That four thousand people would now be employed in the work of play in the United States, or that rura! centers would be establsi: ing playgrounds as at Tamalpais Con- ter, Cal., would have been thought im- possible’ then. Many Cities Establish Grounds. During the last two years 246 Amer- ican ciles have established play- srounds for the first time, and othe: communities to the number of 195 ars now conducting campaigns for them. What the 195 cities now anxious (o have facilities for play are to.spend in the mext few years mated. Orphan asylums, hospitals for the insane, institutions for th> feeble minded have made special provision for the recreation of their wards, The children in schools for the blind are almost as happy in their play as see'ns children. Churches ar2 giving the use of their grounds and county fairs have had playground exhibits. In some cities both political parties in their plat- forms have declared for outdoor recre- ation centers. In Stockton and Fresno, Cal, Camden, N. J.. Philadelphia, .Bal- timors and Dallas thousands of chil- dren havc marched in monster parades asking for playgrounds. The playground propaganda in a few ars has attained a development which many causes have reached only after half a century. Its greatest dan- ger has been its rapid growth. - Al persons familiar with a certain $100. 000 playground building in an eastern city know that if the bricks used in its construction had been left loose upe the ground the children would have plaved nith the bricks more than thev use. their costly structure. In another place a $10,000 playground has bec as much used as another which cost ten times as much. Thousands of dol- iars have bzen wasted because “cities | have planned their playgrounds with- | out knowledge of what other munici~ palities have done. The Playground Asgociation of America tries to heip cities avoid such squandering of money so that_every dollar may h> made to bring the largest possible amount of | happiness. Ground at Holyoke. Besides the annual meeting the as- now being held in Washington, the as sociation this yvear has held playground institut>s for New England in Holyo Mass.. in Ealtimorz for the middle Ai- lantic states, in Detroit for the north central, and for the northwest in Mir nezpolis. Another will probebly be held for the south. These conferences have been for the discussion of p 1 tical playgrouné problems. 400 Cities Beginning Grounds. The association helps ‘the differen cities to secure capable piayground workers. A special committee has pre- pared a norma! cours: in play, which is now being used in 17 educatiopal institutions. _Several universities ha e professors of play.
