Farrell, the members being Mrs. Frank L. Farrell, chairman, Miss Maud Carew Buckingham and Miss H. Lotise Fuller. With them met Miss Elizabeth B. Huntingten, chairman of the general committee, and the seere- tary, Miss Ella A. Fanning. The most encouraging reports were received .from all sides regarding the work of preparing for the exercises. The other members of the general committee, each working along a defi- nite line, are Mrs. George . Lane, Mrs. William B. Birge, Mrs. Edson F. Gallaudet and Mrs. Henry M. Pollock. Three Nights and Saturday Afternoon. It was finally decided to hold"the exercises about the big tree to be set up in Union square on Christmas eve Christmas night, at 5 e’clock on ths Saturday afternoon after Christmas, concluding with exercises “on New Year's eve. The evening hours will be from 7.30 to about 8.30. As soon as the set programme ends the church bells are to be rung for flve minutes, which literal Christmas bell feature is expected to be especially effective. Charles D. Geer General Director. The singing of the evenings is to be in charge of Charles D. Geer as gen- eral director. .Of the children’s exer- cises on Saturday afternoon Prof. J. Herbert George has consented to take charge. Mr. Geer has generously given up personal engagements out of town to do his important part in making the singing a success. Directors of choirs already appealed to have been more than enthusiastic in accepting an in- vitation to participate. Among others, Choirmaster William F. Habekotte of Christ church has agreed to have his vested choir sing their famed Christ- mas carols on one evening. Professor George is to lead the children by bugle have two voung buglers to assist him. The programmes will vary evening. This will give every church choir and musical organization an op- portunity to be heard and leaders of such musical bodies not already reach- ed are expected to report to some member of the programme committee as_soon as possible. Director Geer is to arrange for one rehearsal of his big chorus in due time, and Professor George will give the children a rehearsal on Saturday afternoon next at a place and hour to be announced. Most of the children already know the familiar Christmas carols, so there will be little delay in perfecting that portion of the pro- gramme. Many Anxious to Aid. The members of the committee are receiving the most encouraging proffers from all directions. It is the aim to have absolutely no expense on the part of individualsq The tree is the city’s gift to the chlldren. its setting up is the donation of the board of public works, the lights—white and colored— which Superintepdent Kehoe and his men will use to decorate it are from the city gas and electric department, and for incidentals the chairman of the committee has received proffers of aid from the Board of Trade, the Play- grounds association and the City Beau- tiful association. The idea is thor- oughly understood that it is every child’s tree, toward the success of which every grown-up is to aid by £o- operation, and the offers of help have been general and most gratifying. Singing in Different Languages. In the matter of gathering the chil- dren to sing carols in the different lan- guages work is being carried on as have no resident priest and therefore no regularly organized school, the chil- dren are scattered throughout the city schools, s0 may not sing in a body. However, there is a movement to in- terest the young Greek men in the ex- FOR TEACHERS’ CONVENTIONS IN MORE CITIES is Recommendation of Committee of Which Supt, Graham Is a Member. That the sessions of the annual con- vention of the Connecticut State Teachers’ association be held in a larger number of places in the future, including Norwich and New London, than is now the custom, is the rec- ommendation of the committee ap- pointed at the last ammual meeting of | the state association to devise, if pos- sible, a better plan than is now in vogue for holding the sessions. This | was unanimously agreed upon at a | meeting of the committee held in New T.ondon Friday night with Superin- tendent of Schools Charles B, Jennings of Vauxhall street, chairman of the committee, The committee consists besides Mr. Jennings, of C. L. Ames of Hartford, ¥. H. Beede of New Haven, E. J. Gra- ham of Norwich, Henry T. Burr of Willimantic, E. C. Andrews of Green- wich and J. R. Perkins of- Danbury. All were present at the mesting ex- cept Messrs, Beede and Andrews, At present the sessions of the con- vention are held simultanecusly af Hartford and New Haven and the speakers at the meetings are inter- changeable, the speakers in the morn- ing at Hartford speaking in New Ha- ven in the afternoon and vice versa. The sessions of late, however, have been very crowded, there being about 6,000 in attendance at both places. The matter of adopting a better plan for holding the meetings was discussed at the last annual convention and the above named committee was appoint- ed. The committee discussed allphases of the situation at its meeting Fri- day night and arrived at the unani- mous agreement that it would rec- ommend that future sessions be held in a larger number of cities simul- taneously as at present in the case of Hartford and New Haven, Further than that the committee de- cided not to divulge the exactt recom- mendation, as it was deemed inad- visable to make a public announcement until it has reported to the executive ittee in January. Co"I‘“h",; members of the committee were calls which he does so well and is to | each | of assistance, financial and otherwise, | originally proposed; but as the Greeks | ercises; with encouraging prospects. A leading Ttalian resident is enlisted in the same work for his countrymen. The German singing societies ans &he French choirs will doubtless be heard from. Charles W, Pearson of North Main street is in charge of the Swed- ish singers, which insures success in that department, i One_of the mest sympathetic sup- porters of the plan to give the children Dleasure is the Rev. L. V., Maciejewski, pastor of St. Jsoeph's Pollsh church, CLff street, whose school princi) Leo Makowski, 18 also the church t. The children of this church sing their hymns in both Polish and English, and will be heard with pleasure under Pro- fessor George's direction some time during the festival. 'All the clergymen of the city to whose attention the tree project has been called are most enthusiastic over the plan, and have given assurances of valuable aid. | The Boy Scouts and the Knights of King Arthur are enlisted in the cause. Director Swahn Plays in Norwich. The Norwich tree was decided upon Thursday. On Friday New London announced a plan to have a iree, too, but on Christmas night only. There was an effort to secure Director John M, Swahn of Tubbs' band to play in the City by the Sea; but with true pa- triotism he decided to remain in his home town, and while, through busi- | ness reasons, it may not be possible for | all members of Tubbs’ band to play ev- | | ery evening, there will be a sufficient number to demonstrate the qualities of this, one of the crack bands of the state. Director Swahn has in mind one or two novel features, sure to prove popular. . President J. C. MacPherson of the Board of Trade has given many helpful suggestions to the committee, and Mayor Murphy has been enthusiastic over the project from the first. The women promoters of the pian have been surprised and pleased by the enthusiasm with which the business men have taken up the project. One enthusiastic merchant was for provid- ing some simple gift for each child; but' distributing such gifts would be manifestly impossible. With all the | buildings about Union Squard lighted, and the tree ablaze, it will be an ideal rallying point for the children, and for | their elders to enjoy their happiness. | It is exxpected that some of the city’s best colored singers will be heard on one of the nights. This matter is to be left to a competent manager. Not to Impair Trade. ! An effort has been made in arrang- ing the programme to avoid interfering with the important holiday trade o i Christmas eve. ‘As the exercises are planned to. end not later than 8.30, the | hundreds of visitors from all suburban points who will gather to hear - the singing will have ample time to circu- late through the stores before taking late trains or trolleyvs for home. The City’s Best Asset. It is a disappontment that there will i be no moon during the tree nights; but artificial lighting will have to supply for Lady Luna's absence. According to tHe spirit of unison and enthusiasm aldes.dy manifest, the affair is going to ! be big from every point of view and a | benefit to the town in many ways. As | one optimistic business man said yes- | terday: “Norwich, a city over 250 years old, may have had one or two un- Dleasant little experiences during 1913, but it is going to be an inspiration to us all to see the town’s voung future ] citizens assembled in one hig company like this,with their parents and friends to rejoice with them. And, after afl, aren't the children the city’s greatest wealth? It is for their welfare and future that most of us are working!” Other Connecticut cities which have taken up the municipal Christmas tree idea are New Haven and Bristol i | i | _—— BURGLAR EMPTIED TWO CASH REGISTERS1 Got Over $100 from Two New London i Stores Saturday Morning. | : | Two cash registers in the Gorton building, in Bank, near State street, .in New London, yielded considerably over. $100 in cash to a lome burglar Saturday morning, Patrick H.

Officials who are in a position to make & re- liable estimate figure it at $400,000.
