In the past month one of the ad vancements made in the police servi was to put a traffic squad on day duty on the streets at the two points where travel was most frequent and most required regulating. Policeman Myron Morgan has been on duty at.the so- called_bank corner at the intersection of Broadway, Main and Shetucket streets, while to Policeman Charles Perry has been given the Franklin squarc corner at Young's block.

Nearly all the drivers of horges or of automobiles have taken the direc- tions from the traffic officers good- naturedly, so that there has been little serfous friction between the policemen and those whom they havé held up or directed on the proper way to proceed at these polnts.

This is shown in drivers coming along Main street from the west and about to turn up into Broadway.

Keep to the right on the corners seems to be one important rule to be impressed upon the drivers of Nor- wich. Fire Department Busy. April came close to making a high record in number of calls for the Nor- wich fire department as there was a tatal of 23, Only twice has that num- ber been exceedeq in recent years, In May, 1911, there were 24 and in July of the same yvear there Were 26. The calls in April this year were 4 bell alarms and 19 telephone alarms. One of the bell alarms was a false alarm one Sunday afternoon when a small bay was suspected of pulling a hox at the corner of Asylum and Starr streels, One was for the fire that des- troyed the old lock shop off North Main_street, one was for the fire in ihe Moran house on Asylum street that was in process of alteration at tae time and the c\her was for a Sunday morning fire in the roof of the home of Cive Lahn at 89 Summit street, During the past month also the au- tochemical responded to a call for help from Lebanon, making a fraction over 23 miles on the trip, which is the long- est trip the Norwich machine hasg made in response to a fire call.

Over each table hung a banner which was the color of the fort, and the scores were counted by little flags of the various colors which were brought and strung un at the home fort ag fast as they were captured. The whole made a remarkably pretty color effect for the two rooms which were used. The defenders of the light blue fort tovk the four pretty prizes.

New York, April 29.—“If Charles W. Morse or Julian Hawthorne and any number of other lawbreakers that have been convicted in the federal courts had been tried In the New York state courts all of his crimeés are set forth convicted,” declared Judge Edward Swann of the court of general ses- slons todax in an address before the ‘National Jewelers Board of Trade. Judge Swann is the author of bills now before the state senate designed to harmonize state jurisprudence with federal. He said that under the pres- ent system of jurisprudence in New York state many criminals go free and much money s wasted which the judge is powerless to prevent because “he had no part in the machinery of justice except to umpire the case.” Inder the state laws,” he said, “a man charged with a number of crimes is not tried for them all. The pros- or must charge some specific crime off a certain date, leaving a man a chance to prove a beautiful alibi for that particular crime. In the federal coutts all of his crimes are set forth and it is impossible to establish an alibi for each crime.” Harvard After Professor Moore. New Haven, Conn., April 29.—It was agnounced tonight (hat Prof. Ernes Cl Moore of the department of educa. tion at Yale is considering a flattering offer from Harvard in a like capacity.

D. Greenman of the United States Bu- reau of Education The “school republic” or “schaol city” has been introduced into Alaskan native schools by order of the United States Commissioner of Education, for the purpose of ‘preparing the natives for citizenship. At his heels were thirty other say- ages in like guise. Around the cpen square they marched in uiter silence, their leader halting now and | n to exchange mystic “peace | signs” with the more prominent of | the Creek chiefs. Then the odd procession vanished. No word had heen spoken. Yet the Creeks, who had come to the confer- ence perepared to join forces with the United States, suddenly changed their minds. Hawkins' most eloquent pleas fell upon deof ears. Nor could the commissioner understand what had | befallen. He asked the name of the | black-painted leader who had thus broken in upon a solemn council. The Half-awed reply of the Creeks was “Tecumseh!"” Man Who hated Progres: Tecumseh was bravest and wisest of the Shawnee chiefs. He was born near Springfield, O., in 1768. When he was & young man he won fame in the campaign against General Wayne's Yankee troops. From boy- hood he hated the United States Nor could Gen. W. H. Harrison, the local Indian agent, soften his hatred. He repudiated ail land treaties made with the whites and in 1808 hit upon a scheme which threaténed to check westward progress. He planned to combine all the warring western tribes and to form them into a mighty federation whose object was to destroy the white men. Tecumseh was helped by his brother, “the Prophet,” who accomplished a series of neat. hand-made miracles that made a tremendous impresion on the natives. The great plan loss of the battle which Tecumseh was not present,) and the baffled leader shifted to the far south. There he sought to stir up the tribes against the government and to make them allies of the Brit- ish. For the War of 1812 was at hand Like a firebrand, he swept throush the south. Almost everywhere his fierce eloquence drew the Indlans to his standard. In alarm, the govern- ment tried to check this uprising. Hawkins wae sent to urge the Creeks to stand firm in their _allegiance to Uncle Sam. But Tecumseh was too clever for him. By marching into the council square and by the use of cer- sacred Tndian rites he quite iled the effect of Hawkins' speech. hen Tecumseh made a fervent ap- peal to the Creeks to cast off the white men, to give up farming and to furn back to thelr old wild Jife of hunting and fishing,, He _said he Lore that message from the Great Spirit, who also ordered them to side with the British. One Creek chief “Big Warrior” by name, doubted this and demanded proof. “I will give you proof!” shouted Te- cumseh. When the hour for the up- rising comes you shall see my arm stretched like pale fire across the heavens. I go now to Detroit. When T arrive there I shall stamp m¥ foot and every house in your village shall fall to the ground.” This was in the autumn of 1812. In December of that failed, through the of Tippecanoe (at sp vear a comet stretched across the skies, and an_earthquake overturned the Creek village. This was proof enough for the Creeks that Tecuseh was inspired. A Mysterious Disappearance Meantime Tecumseh took the field with the British in the War of 1812, He was made a brigadier-general. and at the head of thousands of native warriors along the Canadian border did mighty deeds against the United States. Says a British historian: “But for the red men led by brave Tecumseh it is probable should not now bave Canada.’” At the siege of Fort Meigs Tecum- seh was foremost In the aitack. He saved all the American prisoners there from torture. For. although he | hated every white man, e would never permit_a captive to be tortured or burned. Just before the famous battle of the Thames Tecumseh laid aside his gorgeous.uniform and sword and donned his simple hunting dress. When he was asked jwhy he did this he answered simply and fearlessly: “This day I shall die. | the | we Nor after the battle could any trace of him be found. It was claimed — but not pdoved—that Col. Richard Johnson killed him, But his body was not discovered on the field. Supersti- tious natives believed he was miracu- lously spirited away to the happy hunting grounds. His exact fate is still a mystery. General Harrison wrote praising Tecumseh's genius for war and statecraft, and added that but for the westward march of ihe white men he might have been “foun- der of an empire that would have riv valled in glory those of Mexico and Peru.” EDUCATIONAL NOTES Compulsory school bathing iz en- i i in the German cities of Gotha and Hellbronn.
