Sought Lawyer Kelley's Aid. Not being able to find him, Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Park called on Town 'Lounsel T. J. Kelley, who also is a | member of the school committee. At- | torney Kelley told them they iaust present their removal petition in writi) before the school commit- tee, and the reasons for the re- Qquest must be sustained by evidence Mrs. Turner said Lawyer Keliey had nothing to do with preparing the pe- tition. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Park will be present at the meeting of tne school committee in August and from what was gleaned Wednesday they will stay u“ntil the lights are put out.” The next person questioned was an intimate friend of Mrs, Keller, who | has children in Miss Thomas' school and is a strong advocate of Miss | Thomas’' methods of teaching discipline. Mrs. Keller, as were a number of others of the parents of Miss Thomas’ pupils, was away on a Sunday School picnic. A First Clase Teacher. Mrs, Keller's friend, who requested | her name be kept out of print, said Miss Thomas was a first class teacher {and disciplinarian who secured fine | results.

Mrs. Kenfield, the mother of seven children, two of whom are Miss Thomas’ pupils, said she had no fault to find with Miss Thomas as a disci- plinarian, but she did think the pu- pils ought to be taught their lessons at scheol without having to be helped by | a_mether busy with household cares. | Mrs. Kenfield said if Miss Thomas would help the pupils about their studies more in scheool, she would be satisfied to have her stay. Then Mrs, }\Qnfl(-ld closed her interview by saying “they dom’t teach manners in school and the High schoeol pupils don’t know how to behave.” Has Signed Contract.

Joseph Forman, 15, son of Isaac Forman of Whitinsville, Mass., walked into the home of Deputy Sheriff and Mrs. George K. Holbrook Elm street, Wednesday at noon, and asked that he be given a safe pla.ce presumably for protection from people who, he ex- pected. were about to do him harm. It was soon evident to Sheriff Hol- brook that the youth was - of un- balanced mind, so the official turned him over to the police. Q:}lglomng the boy developed the information that he bhad left Whitinsville Tue: day with his father to go to Worcester for a medical examination. The boy said that he escaped from Worcester early Wednesday morning and walked to Webster, where a man gave him twenty cents with which he paid his fare to Putnam on an electric car. Early Wednesday afternoon Proba- tion Officer A. W, Bowen got in touch with friends of Forman in Whitins- ville and arrangements were made by telephone for sending the boy to East Douglas on the four o'clock train out of Putnam, which was done, the un- derstanding being that Forman would be met at East Douglas by someone who would take him to his home. torney Arthur S. Macdonald that he was the inventor of improved tele- graph apparatus and also of new au- tomobile appliances. He also stated to this official that persons had threatened to kill him, further in- quiry developing the youth's belief that his destruction was to be brought about by persons working in the place where he has been employed. All of the indications were that he was suf- fering from at least temporary men- tal derangement, although he was very quiet and apparently a good boy. VETERAN SUICIDES. George M. Dodge of Eastford Hangs Himself From His Bedroom Door. Funeral services were held at East- ford Wednesday for George M. Dodge, about 6p, who committed suicide Mon- day evening by hanging himself to a doorknob after he had taken a drink of solution of acetate of lead. Dodge, a veteran of the Civil war, was a farmer and woodchopper. Medical Examiner Dr. Joseph Spald- ing of Woodstock, who was called to view the body, said Wednesday aft- erneon that Mr. Dodge was addicted to the use laudanum and that on Mon- day his supply became exhausted Not being able to obtain any of the drug which he deeply craved, his mind probably became unbalanced. Be- fore his successful attempt at doing away with himself Dodge is believed to have tried to drown himself, for he returned to his home with his cloth- ing dripping wet. Later the man filled a glass with an arsenate solution, but was pre- vented by his wife from taking it. While she was gone to a neighbor’'s for assistance, Dodge prepared more of the solution and drank fit. Then he went into his bedroom. tied a rope around the doorknob, slipped a noose around his neck and lay down, slow- ly strangiing himself. ELKS FOR NORWICH PICNIC. Vote to Accept Invitation to High Jinks at tha Drawbridge. At a meeting ot Putnam lodge of Elks Tuesday evening it was voted to accept an invitation to join with the Norwich lodge in an outing and clam- bake to be held at the Drawbridge on the Thames river Thursday of next week.

Sub-Committes of Wlndh-m County | Savings Bank Issues Statement— Should be Released From Restrain- ing Order at Once and Permitted to Do Business. (Special to ThP Bulletin.) { 23—For the benefit the Windham ! Danielson, July of their depositors. County Savings bank sub-committee of the board of directors, issued the following stafement Wednesday, rel- ative to the institution’s condition: Sub-Committee’s Statement. On August 6th, 1912, under a res- training order from a judge of the su- perior court, at the request of the State Bank commissioners, the Wind- ham County Savings bank was en- joined from paying or receiving money on deposit, and the investing | of funds except as directed by the Bank commissione Closing the bank was due to an ap- | the | parent error of $20,639.44 from general ledger and a trial taken at that time. - The the bank claimed these were clerical errors, and after a thorough search these errors were corected and the books balanced. The balancing of the books was approved over the sig- nature of Bank Commissioner Fred P. Holt. : Appraisals Too Low, Soon after the directors commenc- ed plans for the opening of the bank | and the resuming of ‘business when | the restraining order should expire on | April 6th. In the midst of the plans | for balance | officials of | the resumption of business the directors were confronted by a new set of figures from the Bank com- missioners, who had appraised some real estate holdings at figures con- siderably below actual values, as in- stanced by the sale of several proper- ties at prices congiderably above the commissioners’ appraisals one particu- lar tract bringing $15¢0 more than the value as fixed by the Bank commis- sioners. Daily Balance Over $30,000. Upon the basis of the new appraisal of the assets by the commissioners, ! they insisted upon the continuation of the restraining order to October §, 1913. The earnings of the bank from June 30th, 1912, to July 1st, 1913, have been $40,245.42. During this period the bank has had an everage daily balance in excess of $30,000, which heavy balance it has not been permitted to invest. Had the bank been allowed to invest this sum in the usual way at regular rates, it would have realized an increase in earnings of from $1500 to $1800. Even though the bank were called upon to pay a flat dividend upon the total of its deposits, during the period referred to, which is never the case owing to the -daily changes by de- posits and withdrawals, the interest i charges against the bank woula have amounted to $34,057.88. After paying | this dividend the bank would still have 4 balance left out of its earnings of $6187.54. Splendid Showing. This very satisfactory showing is | made 1n spite of the fact that the bank has been put to heavy expense for auditing and additional clerical help, in connection with the investigation of the bank’s accounts, following the placing of the restraining order. Upon the strength of the actual con- dition of the bank as shown by its books and records and the following statement of its assets and liabilities’ it is the opinion of this committee, that the bank should be released as soon as possible from the restraining order and allowed to resume business. | Assets. | City bonds $36,500.00 Bank stock 10,500.00 Mortgage loans 464,300.00 Notes discounted Real estate | Deposit in banks | Premium account Railroad bonds Insurance account | Cash on hand ..... 1,:46 89 $872,407.89 Liabilities. | Deposits. . i . $851,447.35 | Surplus Sdas 15,100.00 | Interest account ...<sves.s.. - 5,860.54 I $872,407.89 Come In And Enjoy a Free Demonstration of Post Tavern Special —A Porridge blended rich and creamy.
