Underhill of New London has brought sult against the Connec- ticut company for damages for person- al injuries, injurles to a horse and flamage to a carriage as a result of a trolley car accident a year ago. Papers were served on officials of the company in New Haven Thursday morning by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs, and are returnable before the superior court of this county. The plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 7, 1813, he was driving in Broad street, near Cleveland, when a trolley car struck his carriage, destroying the ve- hicle, injuring the horse and cutting, bruising and injuring him to such an extent that he was unable to follow his profession of veterinarian for a long time. he complaint alleges that the car was being driven at a high and dan- gerous rate of speed, without giving any warning or signal of its approach, when it struck his vehicle, that the car was not equipped with proper and suitable braking appliances to arrest its speed or to allow the motorman to govern and control the car, C. N. G. Needs Money Before Talking War, Until the government makes an ap- propriation to defray the expenses of manoeuvres, Connecticut troops will not know whether or not they are to bave a war game this summer. Ad- Jutant General Cole said Wednesday that no plans have been laid vet in this state for the joint manoeuvres of the militia and the regulars, because | the federal government has not made any appropriation, but if the appro- priation is made the war game will be held, and it is the opinion of General Cole that the game will be piaved somewhere near Boston.

Telephene §43-3 In the rooms of the Norwich Busi- ness Men’s assoclation in‘the Shannon building members of the New Indus- tries committee met on Thursday aft- ernoon at 3.30 o'clock to consider the possibility of starting a new industry ‘which is proposed by James D. Robert- son. Chairman Frank H. Smith pre- sided, the members of th ecommittee being A. B. Wulf, Mayor T. C. Murphy, E. C. Jewett, W. T. Lane, W. F. Hill, D T. Shea, George W. Carroll, C. V. Pendleton, W. A. Somers, 8. J. Coit, James A. Hiscox and C. J. Isbister. ‘The committee meeting resulted in the appointment of a special commit- tee consisting of C. V. Pendleton, D. T. Shea and James A. Hiscox, to investi- gate the matter and report at a later meeting. Mr. Robertson was invited to the meeting and was asked to explajn what was proposed. He explained that he had a plan to start an industry here for the manufacture of electric ma- chinery fittings, beginning with/ a spark plug and terminal clip, and ca- pable of development in the manu- facture of various other parts for elec_ trical work. He had been to look at the building on Broad street formerly occupied by the Ossawan mill and the new industry, if started, could be ac- commodated on the main floor and the floor below, not using the second floor of the building. Electric power would be used ,and he could be shipping the Business Men's Committee to Investigate James D. ISTRY . first goods by the first of June. Through improvements he would Insti- tute, he would effect a saving of 80 percent in the cost of manufacturing the spark plug, which is used in all internal combustion engines using the jump spark igmition, such as in most automobiles, motorcycles, and motor- boats. He higl assurances of secur- ing about one third of the capitol of $20,000 which would-be needed to start the company. Mr. Robertson has been a success- ful manufacturer in this city, first as one of the officers of the Thames Chain & Stamping company which made bi- cycle chains and had a factory in White's court. Later this became the Thames Arms company and moved to the factory off North Main street now occupled by the Turner-Stanton com- pany. The Thames Arms company manufactured pistols and finally sold out the successful business which it established. For two years after that, Mr. Robert- son was superintendent of the factory of a thriving concern in Boston that manufactured a well-known spark | plug. He went with the company when it moved its plant to Toledo and established their factory there, but not liking living in Toledo gave ‘up hid position after nine months in that city. Since then he has made a trip abroad and has been employed with Ameri- can automobile concerns at their de- pots in Glasgow and London. PREPARING TO BUILD BRIDGE ACROSS THE THAMES. New Haven Road Will Have to Put in New Trestle at Winthrop Cove. Work preliminary to the construc- tion of the new raflroad bridge over the Thames river has been com- menced by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad Co. With the ‘exception of the test borings which have been going on for some time by the T. A. Scott Co., the pres- ent operations are the first tangible evidence of the nearness of the bridge building. The job that is now under- way is the clearing up of the side tracks near Hallam street, in New Lon- don, and the Winthrop Cove trestle in order to Permit the relaying of the main lines, which will be required by the new location of the bridge. In connection with the construction of the new bridge it will become nec- essary to abandon the present trestle over tite cove. THis change will be of market benefit in the operation of trains, the present sharp curve at the trstle being an unfavorable element Wwith which an ewyine has to contend in addition to the bridge ahead and the formidable grade. The new trestle over Winthrop cove will be south of the present one. The main lines of track will be laid where the sidings were to the cast of the present through tracks. There will be a long gradual curve of trackage from a point south of Hallam street to the trestle and beyond to the new bridge entrance, which will be to the north of the old one. In this manner an easy turn is obtained in place of the short and abrupt one now in_ use. As minutes and seconds, even, have a definite monetary value to a railroad company, the elterations planned will be distinctly an economical outlay. ‘The changes in the Hallam street vard at this time simply serve to bear out the statement made by President J. H. Hustls of the New Haven road in a recent interview, in which he as- sured the public that the building of the bridge would be carried out with- out delay, notwithstanding rumors to the contrary. President Hustls soid then that the Scott Co. had completed about 60 per cent. of its borings and that it would be necessary to wait until all were finished before the best location for the bridge piers could be determined. The Scott Co. has made excellent progress since then, and in view of the present aotivity in the Winthrop Cove section it is not at all unreasonable to assume that con- struction work is near at hand. A person closely in touch with New Ha- ven road affairs stated Thursday that he expected to see the bridge underway in the spring. BILL INTERESTS TEACHERS. Bill Drawn Providing for Annual Meet- ings in Four Places. School teachers are greatly interest- ed in a bill drawn by Supt. Charles B. Jennings of New London, which pro- vides that on and after 1915 the an- nual meeting of the Connecticut State Teachers' association shall be held simultanecously in four places, two of which shall always be Hartford and tie, or Waterbury, or Norwalk, or New Haven; the other two shali be New London or Norwich, or Williman- Danbur; The change is proposed for several reasons. Many teachers in north, east and western parts of the state do not and cannot attend the meetings of the association. They canmot arrive in time and would be obliged to leave Defors the close of the session. It would afford teachers in new places mentioned an opportunity to attend the convention for a moderate sum, whereas it now costs them from $3 to 5. 1t would please the smaller cities { to have the convention meet with them and would, it is believed, be of great advantage to the cause of education if the distinguished speakers that have appeared before the convention could present to them the advanced ideas of education that have been heard at Hartford and New Haven. Another argument set forth is that it seems unfair that the well-paid teachers of Hartford and New Haven should have the advantages of the convention ev- ery year for 25 cents, while all_other teachers must pay from $2 to $5 for the same privilege. AT DAVIS THEATER. Vaudeville and Photoplay: Three vaudeville acts that are up to the recognized Davis standard and a strong bill of moving pictures made up an inviting program at the Davis theater on Thursday to finish the week. In startling acts of wizardry, The Great Gordine mystified and pleased the well filled houses that closely watched his work and a clever team of dancers. Skinner and Wood, drew good applause for their all- team turns. They do no single turns. Temple & Huff, a mixed duo, keep the house In a succession of hearty laughs over their eccentric comedy, singing and travesty on grand opera.

A few Academy students attended a dance in New London Wednesday evening given by the girls of the Wil- liams Memorial institute. The trlp was made in automobiles. Gov.

John Lorance writes from Washing- to the Boston Advertiser: ‘Are you going to get any of the diplomatic posts for Connecticut an interstate commerce commissionership, a federal reserve post, any of the good things in the gift of the general gov- ernment serving the whole nation, a very few of which are still left?" was asked a democratic member of con- gress from Connecticut recently. They number five. ‘O, bless your soul, I should “say not,” was the reply. “We in Connecti- cut’ cannot look that high, or, at least, see them, for the postmasters we want appointed. We do not aspire beyond these until after we have got them all, and I guess by that time all the high federal jobs will be gone.” That has been characteristic of Con- necticut for some time. Connecticut got no more when the republicans were in power, it being thought because Senators Lodge, Hoar and Crane were about that Massachusetts was entitled to everything in New England. It tos would seem that sometimes the worm | would turn and the hegemony of the Bay State be overthrown. Apparently Massachusetts has noth- ing to fear on that score. KFormer Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley of Con- necticut was once asked why he did not get something at the pie counter for_his Connecticut constituents. “We are too busy making money,” he replied. “What do we want with these measly federal jobs?” “We are dreadfully smug in Con- necticut,” sald another Connecticut critic. “We are without ambition. The great late Senator Orville H. Platt of Connectlcut used now and then timidly to approach the pie coun- ter. He did not get far into the hun- &ry crowd of other senators. “Nice, white old man,” Theodore Roosevelt used to say, as he sent him eway from the pie counter, always empty. The venerable semator was impotent because Connecticut was without amblition with “pep” in it. Connecticut _expected much from William Howard Taft, whom it looked upon as a foster son. It thought it Wwould not even have to get up from its lazy chair to take the plums; so none ca “Them that basn’t got don’t get” is another way of putting it. All that Connecticut got was the forester of the United States, Henry Solon Graves, head of the Yale For- estry school, who obtained that job because Gifford Pinchot became in- subordinate. Although ‘Woodrow Wilson carried all the New England states but one, and although he was at one time a Dprofessor in Connectict, and his sum- mer residence is in New Hampshire, he has not favored the section with high honors. What little there has bee Massachusetts got—note simply an as sistant secretaryship in the treasury and minister to Greece. Bx-Senator Gardner of Maine ob- tained one $10,000 plum, but it is not a place of any high honor. Of course, Little Rhody did not get anything, and perhaps never will. The distribution of great public plums in the United States began in 1789, and in all that time Rhode Island has not received one of them. New Hampshire became a little as- piring this vear, but sold its chances at the diplomatic counter for an internal | Getting a local | reverue collectorship. job seems to be worth ever so much more than a great post reflecting honor upon the state and enhancing its prestige. STATE POLICEMEN UNDER CIVIL SERVICE. Superintendent Egan Learns That His Force is to Be on the List. At the first examination under the new civil service act in the old.su- | preme court room at the capitol this week the board gave hearings in the afternobn to a number of the heads of state departments and state institu- tions who were anxious to know whether or not the employes under them come under the rules of the commission. Superintendent of State Police Thomas F. Egan asked if the police and detectives of the depart- ment were to be put on the list, and he was informed by the board that they should come under the rules of the civil servic AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Jeremy -Adams’ chief claim to re- imembrance, perhaps, i8 the fact tha he wa sa member of the immortal Hooker compeny, and 8o a founder of Hartford One 'of the first things Jeremy dig after settling in Hartford was to marry, though the date of that important ‘event cannot be deter- mined with certainty. The lady of his choice was Rebecca, widow of Samuel Greenhill, another of the orig- inal proprietors, and the mother of two children. In August, 1689, we find Jeremy holding what was them an important public office, that of constable. In this capacity he was both an officer of the court executing warrants, etc., and the assessor and tax collector of the town. He had charge of the watch and ward, and fulfilled many other functions. — Founder of Colchester. Under.date of March 81, 1681, we find the record of a grant of 300 acres of upland and forty acres of meadow in the plece where he kept cattle last winter, going to Mohegin, and in case there be a plantation there settled, he i3 to have double portion according to his estate out of the land now granted. It would thus appear that Jeremy Adams is the founder and first proprietor of Colchester. Had a Monopoly. In May, 1660, the general court voted that “no person in Hartford ex- cept Jer. Adams shall sell wines un- der a ‘quart cask no liquors,” and under date of May 16, 1662, the court voted “that ye house that the said Jer. doth now possess and improve for an ordingry, or house of common enterfainment, shall be and remaine for the same end and use and occu- pation for the future, both to ve said Jeremiah and his successors.” There- fore, so far as I know, Jeremy Ad- ams was the first innkeeper in Hartford. We may judge from the legislation on the subject that the post of keeper of the “Ordinary” was a dignified one, in fact it was a pub- lic office, and was usually heid in colonial times by persons of good so- cial position. The fact that Jeremy Adams was an agent of the general court and that the “inn” was, in ef. fect, a colonial enterprise has not been fully recognized. In May, 1663, the general court es- tablished 'Jeremy as customs master for Hartford. This was an honor- able and somewhat important office, for trade was far from being free be- tween the towns and colonies, and in 1664 he court freed him from keeping “watch and ward, he be- ing 60 years of age. This estab- lishes the approximate date of Jere- my's birth. Jeremy Adams died Au- gust 11, 1683, and his inventory to- talled 243 pounds, 5 shillings and six- pence. Painting of Bliss House.
