It became known at Greenwich Tues- day that five officers of the coast artil- lery. corps from this vicinity, had filed a formal protest with Adjutant Gen- eral George M. Cole, against the elec- tion of Captain Morris B. Payne of New London as major. Votes were counted in Hartford Saturday for the election of new officers to succeed Col- |onel Fitch of Stamford, who had re- tired. The Greenwich artillerymen claim that the election was for colonel. only, and had nothing to do with the other offices. It was expected that Capt. John J.

The complaint against him is based on a check for $44 which he had cashed on the night of Saturdey, May 81st, which was made out to the order of William Brazzill and was en- dorsed in that.name, but mot by Mr. Brazzill. Policeman Michael Carroll was sit- ting in police headquarters Tuesday afternoon about 2 o'clock when he hap- | pened to look out of the window and | saw a man whom he at once recog- | nized as Handrihan coming along by { the Otis library. “That's Ed Handri- han,” he said to Chief Linton, and started out after the man, who had | gone up Church street, catching up to | him and bringing him back to pollce | headquarters. |, Handrihan, it is charged, was given a check to ke to Willlam Brazzill, drawn by Frank Arrigoni & Bro. a vcontracting firm for whom he was working on state road work in Frank- lin last summer.

At one time a man was féund dead under a bridge in Hartford with Handrihan's name written on a piece of paper in his pocket, and relatives of his went to Hartford to identify the remains, but found it was not the Norwich man who had lost his life. Chief Linton ex- pected that something might develop from this clue {hrough the work of the Hartford police, but nothing resulted that would locate the man the Nor- wich police wanted. Handrihan told Chief Linton that he had been working around New Britain and New Hartford and also at Westbrook. The chief had a line on him at Westbrook during thé summer and a constable was sent there after him, but failed to make the expected arrest.

A prima donna in our midst is still enough of a novelty to be a great attraction In spite of the wealth of musical talent which we constantly enjoy and Madame Gluck's first appearance here was _eagerly awaited. Of course she won her way into popular favor immediatel No one but a savage could ren in- sensible to her ness or fail to respond to her sunny cheeriness and bubbling good nature, and not even the veriest musical pa- gan but could recognize the perfect beauty of her art. It was a song recital to linger lov- ingly in the memory, a worthy suc- cessor to the many other fine concerts of the Academy Musical courses and an auspicious opeéning for the present one. The program was a versatile one, songs in varying moods and styles, taken from the work of composers in many lands and sung in five different languages. n zart. Then a group by Welngartner, Mahler, Strauss, Paladilne and Weck- erlein, followed by an old English song. The sweetness of the Bohemian Cradle song, the weird music of Rach- mannioff's Peasant song, the plaintive Chanson Triste by Zimbalist, the li- quid, flowing notes of the Chanson In- done from the legend “Sadko” by Rim. sky-Korsakoff, which was especially admired and the Shepherd Lehl by the same composer made up the charming third group. In the fourth group the full witch- ery and dramatlc intelligence of the singer came into play. Allah by Chad- wick, The Black Bird by Parker, and Cadman's From the Land of the SKy- blue Water, were given in Madame Gluck's own delightful style and gra- clously repeated. The Chimes by Ner- rell Was another exquisite rendering. The Jast on the program was Cot- tenets' Red, Red Rose, but no one wanted her to close and she respond- ed to the enthusiastic applause with a charmingly rendered Scotch 8oag. el SOSUIISRIBE NAN SR el ens stein. ROBERT BURNS BANQUET. Annual Gathering of the Scotchmen Will be Held January 24—Plans to Make It the Best Yet. The committee which has in charge the arrangements for the annual Roberts Burns banquet met Tuesday evening at the Wauregan hotel to plan for the event which every year proves a joyous occasion for the men of Nor- wich who claim Caledonia as the land of their fathers. The usual date for the banquet is the 25th of January but as this date falls on a Saturday this winter which would make it in- convenicnt it has been de- cided to hold the celebration on Fri- day night ,the 24th, at the Wauregan house. The commitiee in charge of the arrangements is composed of Harry D. Mitchell, chairman James Hollin, Alexander Sharpe, Reld McIntyre and Gavin Wilson, who have successtully conducted previous banquets on this anniversary.

As “the occasion comes on Friday there will be imported finnan haddies and_ kippered jherring which have al- {ready been ofdered from the land of | the heather, as well as imported Scotch | Ssortbread. The souvenirs will al- 50 be imported. It was the unanimous choice of the committee that John M- dougall who has presided in so pleas- ing a manner on similar occasions in |the past should again hold the posi- !tion of toast master. Mayor T. C. Murphy is fo be invited | to speak at the banquet and other ac- complished speakers and _talented tenor and soprano ‘singers will furnish a high class programme; calculated to surpass even the successes of other years. Senator C. R. McLelland of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., may possibly be secured for a second chief speaker. FOR CHARTER AMENTMENT. Norwich and Colchester Trolley Line Will Have Petition Befors Legi: | ture.
