President William B. Walker of the American Thermos Bottle company, #00n to be a Norwich fnstitution, When it is located in its mew factory on Laurel Hill, on the banks of the Thames, arrived here Thursday even- ing from New York and spent a large part of the evening. at the Thermos training plant, on the two upper. floors of the so-called elevator building. Here, with only pupils at work, the company is turning out from 1,200 to 1,500 Thermos bottles daily. The run is mostly on the pint and quart sizes, but some carafes have been produced. This Norwich school, where there are about 50 employes under Superinten- dent Blumhard, is playing no small part, President 'Walker said Thursiay night,‘as an auxiliary to the New York plant, which is completely swamped by the orders that are pouring ip to the company. Those who are now pupiis in the Norwich training school will later serve as instructors in the big plant on, Laurel Hill when the com- pany gefs located there. How soon that will be Presidenj Walker said would depend entirely ‘upon thé con- tractors, but the machinery would be installed here at the earliest possible moment. As indicative of what the Thermos company was doing now, he sald that the November shipments had been /0 per cent. greater than any morth since the company had been in busi- ness, and even at that the company was not able to make delivery of 30 per cent. of its orders, as it was im- possible to produce the goods fast enough. The coming to Norwich meant an almest immediate increase to the extent of ten times what they were making today at both the New York plant and the Norwich training school. The principal occupation of the three salesmen out on the road today was in apolegizing for the ship- ments that it was impossible for the | company te make because it could not get the goods. The American Thermos company has lately madde & deal with the Thermos limited of England, and will supply that trade from the Norwich factory, as well as all the North and South’ American continents. President Walker corrected an im- pression that had gained some ground here recently that the Thermos com- pany was to manufacture safety razors here. He said that Vice ‘President Murphy of the American Thermos company was president of the Gresstec company, which manufactures safety razors, and has an East Boston plant, where it will be for two years, but he spoke of the possibility of this safety razor plant being ultimately removed to Norwich. This {s a two million dol- lar concern, double the capitalization of the American Thermos company, but its officers and those ‘of the Mark Cross company are all the same set of men and the sales force of the Ther- mos can be used with the other two, thus cuttong down this expense largely for all. The Gresstec compdy Is about to establish two other large plants abroad. Hopes awere held out by President Walker that he would at some time have the representatives of a big Iowa cocnern here to look at available sites along the Thames river. This Is & concern that is in the business of bullding houses by mall order. The same considerations of water and railroad shipment that appealed to the Thermos people in inducing them to come to Norwich would also welgh with the corporation he had in mind. They had promised to give the matter attention at the first convenlent oppor- tunt The Thermos president expects to be here for two days pessibly. He is to see about the layout of the Mason heuse for offices. William F. Hill went to New Lon- don Thursday night with his automo- bile, meeting the 5 o’clock train from New York and bringing Mr. Walker here in the machine. MAYOR MAHAN MADE CHAIRMAN OF DELEGATES.

W. will have to support itself in the future, says a local So- clalist, “as no more contributions will be sent from local Norwich.” Joe Et- tor is not a member of the Socialist party, he continues, “but he at least ought to have shown more gratitude towards political action and the So- clalist party, as Congressman Berger did more towards winning the Law- rence strike than all the I W.

Hill Remembers Academy Boys Who Saved His House With Bucket Brigade. Ten members of the Norwich Free Academy football team have' this week recefved the gift of red jerseys as a re- ward from Rowland D. Hill for the part they played in saving his house, on Harland road, from destruction by fire this fall. The Norwich fire de- Chief Stanton told the Academy boys afterwards that if &t had not been for the bucket brigade which the football squad formed with milk cans, pails and anything else that would hold water, it is likely that the house would have been burned to the ground. The jerseys are of red, with low necks and long sleeves, and a band of white across the chest. The ten to re- celve jerseys are Walter Elliott, Frank Burke, James McCormick, Harry Sil- verswelg, Richard . Gregson, Myron ckson, Ray Higghs, Kirk Ricketts, Prentice, Chase and Arthur Mullin The boys were at practice one after- noon when they saw the auto chemical g0 by on the way to Norwieh Town. They jumped into an automobile, which Richard Gregson drove, and dashed to the fire. Walter Elliott, who had been in_the locker room, responded in such a hurry that he went barefooted. Quar- terback Harold Robinson was the un- lucky member of the squad. He crankeq the machine, which got away in such a hurry that he couldn't even get a toe hold on the running board, and he was left behind. Appropriate lettering for the jerseys has been suggested to show that the active ten are the N. F. A. fire depart. ment. BOY PRACTICED FIRE LESSONS GIVEN IN SCHOOL. Successfully Turned In Alarm from Box 14 for Blaze in Shed. Philip Hertz, son of Frank Herts, of 28 North Thames street, put into practice the lesson he had learend from Chief Stanton’s {nstruction in the school by pulling in an alarm from box 14 about 8 o'clock Thursday night for a fire in a shed used for ice storage by James B. Bates near the Central Vermont tracks and at the rear of Slosberg's grain elevator. Philip got the alarm in all right, but cut his fin- ger on the glass. The shed blazed up brightly and at- tracted a big crowd. The fire depart- ment had two streams of water from the hydrant at the corner of Cove and North Thames streets, which doused out the fire. They also turned water on a freight of baled hay standing alongside of the shed, and they hed to do considerable chopping on the root of the shed and on the freight car. Theé shed lost its roof. Through the quick response and work of the fire- men, Chief Stanton was able to sound the recall about 3.15. It was the second bell alarm on Thursday. FOR CHARITY FUND.

Thursday morning;” Attorney Charles In resuming his final argument for the plaintiff in the trial of the case W. Comstock occupled 34 minutes at | the opening of court and Judge Shum- | way made the charge to the jury im- mediately afterwards, occupying 16 minutest The jury's verdict was re- turned at 12.35 after an hour and 40 minutes of deliberation in the jury room gave $300 c.mages to the plaintift, Elmer Abcl When court came in after dinner the trial c1 .ue suit against the Con- nectic.. company for $10,000 dam- ages, the stautory sum, for the death or Car Starter Maurice J. Spottswood in New London from an electric shock was begun. It is brought by his widow, Margaret A. Spottswood, who is administratrix of his estate. Start- er Svu}uwood ‘was about to use the trolley * telephone at' the corner of State street on the Parade, Now Lon- don, about 7.30 o'clock on the morn- ing’ of November 15, 1511 He was instantly killed when' he took hold of ' the receiver, and the plaintiff ciaims that fmproper construction of the tel- ephone line and lack of safeguards were responsible for allowing the high potential current from an electric light wire in Shipping street, this city, to_enter the telephone circuit. The jury chosen in the Spottswood case is the following: Edwin F. Ben- jamin, Henry Johnson, William Crary, eston; John R. Backus, Coichedter; Andrew’ J, Tinker, Griswold; Edward A, Stlles, Lebanon; Willlam P. Bab- cock, North Stonington; Leroy Lath- rop, Bozrah; Luther Hoiton, Franklin; | Moses Genard, Herbert C. Watson, Sprague; Charles Smith, Lisbon. | Waller, Waller, Avery & Gallup are | the attorneys for the plaintiff, with Attorney Avery conducting the case. For the defendant company appears Attorney J. F. Berry of New Haven, who is assisted by C. B. Whittlesey | of New London, and Michael Kenealy of Stamford. The plaintift’s case was begun by putting on as a witness Supt. Peter | Ashe of the Connecticut company lines in New London. He was followed by | other_trolley men, Lewis Cunninghdm and Warren A. Lewis. They testified | to circumstances in_connection with the death of Mr. Spottswood. Dr. Harry M. Lee followed, describing the indications of electrical current shown on Mr. Spottswood's body. Dr. ‘Lee closed his testimony by ying that from his examination of pottswood's body he concluded that his death had been caused by an elec- tric_shock. He was followed by Willlam J. Ma- lone, line foreman for the Connect- icut company, who testified he was in charge of the wiring from Montville south. He testified to the way the telephone was strung on the poles from Montville to New London and of the wiring at the telephone box at the State street corner. On three telephones of the Connecticut company he sald there were fuses at the iime of the fatal accident to Starter Spottswood, but mot on the box at State streef. The telephones provided with fuses were at the power house, the car barn and at the corner of Tilley street. Nor was there any de- vice that he kmew for arresting the, current between Montville and the State street box. He sald the phone was taken down in the afternoon, fol- lowing the accident. The telephone, he testified, is oper- ated by a common dry cell battery generating about 25 to 30 volts. He Ssaw a telegraph wire burned off on a pole at Division street, New Lon- don, and the pole was burned in ome place, this telephone being a part of the same circuit on which was the State street telephone. The insula- tor to the feed wire on the pole was also burned, but he could not say whether there was any evidence of | the feed wire having touched the tel- ephone wire. Shortly after 7 o'clock | that morning the telephone in his own house, which was on the trolley lne | circuit, started ringing, indicating troubls. He took down the receiver and heard a roaring noise which was an indication that the line was up against another current of high voli- age. The recgiver on his telephone was not the combination kind which Spottswood used. Attorney Berry picked up one point on cross examination asking if the fuses on Malone’s own telephone and the one at the barn blew out. The witness said they did not. The fuse at his house was a Southern New England Telephone fuse and he was standing on a piece of perfectly dry floor when he took up the receiver at his own house. The pavement where Starter Spottswood was sanding was wet. Mrs. Spottswood occupied a court during the trial, and in the tators' benches were a number of rall- road men and also some of the local telephone men. As Mrs. Spottswood has begun a suit for $10,000 against the city of Norwich on account of the eity electric light wire from which it is al- leged the high potential current came which killed her husband, Corporation Counsel Joseph T.
