Was One of Squad at Work in Shovel Gang—Is in the Woods. (Special to The Bulletin.) Danielson, April 4—Willlam Sweet, 53, one of a’'squad of 20 prisoners from the Brooklyn jail, who has been en- gaged in making excavations about the mills at Industrial place, escaped Fri- day afternoon, and up to a late hour had not been recaptured. Sweet slip- ped away while temporarily out of supervision of the keeper. It was at first thought that he boarded a local freight train, but it was afterwards learned that Sweet was seen making his way towards woods leading in the direction of Pomfret. An effort was made to surround the section in which he was thought to be. but he managed to slip through. Sweet is about 5 feet 10 inches in height and has stooped shoulders. When he got away he had on a regulation gray jail sult. overalls, felt boots and a cap. Sweet was sent to the jail from Wil- limantic to serve a sentence of six months, and had served about a month of the term. This is the second time that Sweet has managed to escape while prisoner at the Brooklyn jail. It is thought that he has gone into the northwestern part of the county. PUINAM Members of Appropriations Committes Shown City's Fitness as Trade School Canter—Cards from Springfield, O.— Burglars at Grove St. Homes—Mrs. W. T. Bennett to Address Suffragists. Mayor Archibald Macdonald. one of Putnam'’s representatives in the gen- eral assembly, had a group of the members of the appropriations com- mittee as his guests here Friday. The party was made up of Repré- sentatives Robert Meagee, Waterbury; A. W. Rathbun, Groton; B. J. Stevens, Rocky Hill; F. J. Synder, Coventry: C. E. Davis, North Haven: H. H. Dav-. enport, Pomfret; F. Farrenkopf, Ver- non. The object of the visit of the legis- lators was to investigate as to the needs of this section for a trade school, uch as a bill introduced by Mayor Macdonald provides for, appronriation of $50,000. When the visitors went away here Friday evening they carried with them a very favorable impression of this section of the state and of its im- portance as a textile center. Automo. biles carried them on a trip of inspec. through manufacturing villages along the valley of the Quinebaug, and when they rcturned to Putnam they expressed amazement at the extent of the industries of a textile nature es- tablished in the towns hereabouts. The first leg of the trip from city was to Thompson, where Ream estate was v Next visited was the Grosvenor Here Agent Riordan received the carrying an from this the ited. ales. vis- magnificent rou plant. e of the party From there the was into_the town East, South, North and | West. This is not a manufacturing| town in the sense or to the extent that | others surrounding it are, but the representatives were delighted with it. Hayving looked over the manufactur- ing plants in this city,the visitors went to the villages of Attawaugan, Ballou- ville, Dayville, and_then to Danielson, Wavregan, Central Village, Moosup and Plainfleld, all manufacturing points be- ing visited as far south as the town line of Griswold. Returning to this city, the party was entertained by Mavor Macdonald at the Putnam Tnn. A final spin in the machines was taken later in the after- noon for a visit to beautiful Pomfret, home town of Representative Daven- port. The party returned here in time for the representatives to catch even- ing trains for their homes. It is believed that thev were so fav- orably impressed by their visit to this section that they wil] give long and careful thought before turning down the proposition of recommending an appropriation for the trade school which it¥is hoped will be located here. Next Wednesday the members of the committee on edlcation. or a delega- tion from it, will come here to be shown over much the same ground that proved so interesting to the mem- bers of the appropriations ccmmittee. The education committee it is also hop- ed can be induced to report favorably on the bill. Representative Plessis of this city is /a member of this latter committee. About a half dozen mem- bers of it are favorable to the Putnam trade school proposition, it Is claim- ed, but, of course, this is not def- initely known. With _the representatives on their | trip of Friday went Judge L. H. Fuller and Henry Potter of Woodstock, agent of the state board of education. Oth- ers who visited or dined with the rep- resentatives during their stay in this city were G. Harold Gilpatric and Rev. C. J. Harriman. The local representatives are work- ing hard on the trade school proposi tion, and are entitled to all ti e that can be given them by m turers and other prominent citizens. | NEWS FROM FLOOD DISTRICT.. Cards from George B. Champlin Give an ldea of Conditions in Springfield, Ohio. Original photograph cards, mailing style, recetved here Friday from George B. Champlin, who has béen marooned | at Springfield, O., for a week, show the | extent of the flood in that city. One card recelved by George Lewis of Bug- bee's store shows the water close up to the sills of the windows on the second story of-a building on one of the prin- cipa) streets of the city. Mr. Champlin writes on the card that the pictured scene will give some small idea of the conditions in Springfield, also rémarking that the picture was taken after the water had receded ten | feet. Mr. Champlin's cards are dated at Springfieid April 1, and he says that he has been unable to get away from the city because of the fact that rail- road bridges have been washed away. It is assumed that extraordinary ef- fort was made by the postal authorities in getting the mail out of the isolated city. Prowlers Visit Grove, Strest Hou Incidents that came to light Friday revealed the fact that several resi- dences on Grove street were visited by a burglar or burglars during Wednes- day night. The work was so quietly done that even members of some of the households visited were not aware of the fact untll Friday noon. This wag the case at the home of Dr. E. F. Perry. Entrance was not gained there, but an attempt to do so was made, it has been discovered. At the home of Dr. Harry Houghton, it is re- ported, entrance was gained and a child’s’ bank taken. Other families were disturbed by the nocturnal prowl- ers. who evidently were working with an idea of being extremely careful not to disturb anyone. of One case Is known where members or a family Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA one, was awakened, however, and telephon. ed the information to a neighbo: No Action on Bill Anticipated. Representative Charles J. Johnson, ‘hompson, while in this cliy Friday afternoon sald that little progess has been made toward putting through the bilj that provides for the establishment in Windham county of an institution for the care and treatment of patients suffering from tubercular troubles. The bill is still in the hands of the com- mittee on humane institutions, he said, and no hearing has been set. The delay has been due in a measure to a desire on the part of the commit- tee to await as long as possible the outcome of the serum tests made by Dr. Friedmann, the noted German spe- cialist, in New York hospitals. From what Representative Johnson says, mo action on the measure is an: tcipated for some time. Going Home for Family.
