Coffee Declines to Run for Head of Western City’'s Govern- ment. William B, Coffee of Tacoma, & na- tive of Norwich, who is president of. the Wilson-Marshall club in that city, has been urged to run for mayor of Tacoma. In his letter of Tacoma Progressive Coffee says: “A man to be mayor must and should give his whole time to the work., He should study municipal questions and above 21l find some way to lower the present taxes. If we do not get a lower tax we will not be able to invite our friends to come to this city to live. Tacoma seems to bave too much steam and too little fuel. We are trying to run at a break neck speed in all of our city affairs. We are trying to build % clty here in a few vears that took hundreds of years to build back where I came from. No one likes to see well paved streets, good roads and all modern improvements any better than I do, but I think we have been going too fast In all of our work. We should get a grip_on our- selves and reduce expenses. We seem to elect officers with no other ambi- tion than to spend the people’s money.” “I believe that 1 could have made Tacoma a good mayor. I have a bus- iness experience that I believe I could have used to the taxpayer'’s advan- tage, but at this time I do not feel like shouldering the burden necessary to put Tacoma back on a paying basis where the people could pay the taxes without a hardship. In this day of a commission for everything that comes up, it would place an old fashioned business man in a hole should he go against the reformer’s wishes in such matters and if he should do the bid- ding of every faddist that comes along, the taxes would be higher two years from now than they are at present. I do not care to be placed in a position where 1 would have to shoulder the blame.” The Democrat declares that Mr. Cof- fee’s refusal will be a disappointment to his friends and the loss of his ser- vices will be felt by the tax ridden peo- ple. declination to the Democrat Mr. VEIL OF SECRECY YET 3 OVER COURT MARTIAL But Four Reporters from New York Allowed at Fort Terry, The fact that four reporters for New York newspapers were admitted to the government reservation at Fort Terry ‘Wednesday has not served to lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the court martial of Major Benjamin M. Koehler. Although granted the privilege of transportation on the government steameds and of landing at any of the island forts, the newspaper men are forbidden to attend the hearing. At the same time those connected with reaches the public must be gathered more or less from hearsay. The court resumed its session Wednesday morn- ing. It is rumored that at least six other official investigations are under way as a result of the Koehler case. It was understood in New London Wednesday evening that the ban against cameras was to be removed and that the newspaper men would be allowed to use them on Thursday. EASTERN CONN.

That is one reason why ad- vertised goods are more in de- mand. People know that quality behind them. They look on them as stand- ards. Any dealer knows that there are more calls for adver- tised goods than for goods not advertised. This is especially true if they happen to have ‘been advertised in the newspapers which direct- 1y reach the people. The standard of advertising is more exacting today than ever before. Advertisers are more careful of their promises and more interesting in thelr text and illustrations. The world grows better.

Mc- | Nally had been drinking and his face was battered in, so the officer took him to police headquarters in this city. The man was too ill to appear before the court Wednesday morning, so that Dr. . W. Callahan was called and he found that the man had a very bad cold and was suffering with asthma and also the effects of drink. As the man had a hard time to breathe, and his temperature was nearly 100, the doctor cailed for the ambulance to take him to the hospital.

As the possible number of those who might enter into the plan was esti- mated at about 60 when the plans for Merchants’ week were outlined at a previous meeting, this large response on the part of the business men has been particularly gratifying to the committee and all those interested and reflects creditably upon the public spirit of the Norwich merchants who are welling to cooperate towards a plan that is intended to be for the general welfare of Norwich as & business com- munity. While the organization com- mittee has been at work, the other committees have not been idle and there are plans on foot that promise to provide numerous attractive fea- tures, while Norwich Council of United Commercial travelers is pushing along the preliminary work towards the In- dustrial and Good Home Exposition which they are to hold in the armory.

They are so fearful of the dam- age that may be done that they have sent word to Washington asking that 20 men be immediately assigned to the section, that it may be covered thor- oughly. From the outlook they fear that the moth has struck into the tim- berland. If that is the case the situa- tion is very serious, In the past week they the gypsy moth at to the east of White Rock, at the junc- tion of the Boom Bridge road and the have found street.

Proposed French Customs Stamp. An international stamp for customs duty on parcels sent through the mails has been proposed by the French Min- istry of Finance, and has been accept- ed by the postal department. Hitherto the government ha stolerated the send- ing by post into France of certain dutiable articles, such as lace, be- cause the duty was really so small that it was supposed to be covered more or less by the postage. But since the duty on laces and similar fabrics has been considerably raised, the Ministry of Finance proposes a way of collecting it by creating a cus- toms stamp.
