NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, o T T Wesierly No-License Workers Busy Campaign Being Waged Across in Pawcatuck Also—Burglar Visits Church and Leaves His Cake of Soap Behind— Another Suspicious Fire—Mrs. Charles W. Gale Speaks on Missions in Assam—Memorial Window to James W. Pollette.. The liquor license question in the town . of Pawcatuck will be decided by ballot next Monday, but not in Westerly until a month hence, or on the day of the state eiection. The vote in Stonington on the question is never very over- whelming for either side, but usually favors license by a small majority. Two years ago, when a vote was taken in Westerly, the result was in favor of license by a very close margin. o there is no basis for any prediction of weight as to the resuit on either side of the Pawcatuck river. It is the general opinion, however, as goes Pawcatuck so goes Westerly, as the neutrals of Westerly will not permit Pawcatuck to have a monopoly of the liquor business. It is claimed that if Pawcatuck goes wet, so will Westerly, and if dry, Westerly will be likewis For that reason the no-license people of Westerly have extended their work into the town of Stonington in a com- bined effort to place Pawcatuck in the dry list, as the interests of the two places are almost identical. The expressed opinion that a burglar who would select a schoolhouse for vis- itation would not hesitate at a church has been verified in Westerly. Last Thursday night the Westerly High school was forcibly entered, windows broken and desks pried open, but no booty was secured. It is presumed that during the same night the same bur- glars visited the Calvary Baptist church, using the same sized jimmy to force open a window. After gaining entrance, the intruders apparently touk & peep into every nook and corner of the church and gave special attention to the desk of the clerk of the church. This desk was pried open and a small amount of money, less than $5, was taken. The thieves were evidently in no hurry to leave such a good place, for they visited the toilet, took a wash and left their soap behind them. It was a piece of plain everyday soap and there was nothing about it to aid In the detection of the intruders. Tke police are of the belief that there are still some more boy burglars in West- erly who have kept themselves from the clutches of the law. It has been demonstrated that there are firebugs as well as burglars in this section, and;" like their predecessors in this line of crime, are sure to pay the penalty. There is no doubt that tne fire “that totally destroyed the house owned by Anthony Squadrito was of Incendiary origin, nor is there doubt but that the fire off Liberty street Sun- day night was the same. It was short- ly after 9 o'clock when flame was seea leaping from a barn owned by the Bet- ey Gavitt estate by a person who was on West Broad street, and a fire alarm was promptly sent in from box 71, at Lineoln avenue. The barn is located :0 the right and rear and not 50 fest listant from the Peleg-S. Barber Hose tompany. The firemen made such a juick response that the fire was ex- dnguished before it really got muech teadway, and the damage was slight. The barn is old, somewhat dilapidat.- #d, and was leased by Louis Cella and tontained some hay, a wagon and odds m@ ends of lumber and other building hnaterial.

While indications are favorable for the renomination of Representative Peter Goelet Gerry, democrat, in tne Second Rhode Island congressional district, still there is a political rum- bling that may result in a disatrous storm for Gerry at the nominating convention. There is an open fight on for the republican nomination, with General Walter R. Stiness leading the field of candidates, and claim is made that he will be nominated on the first ballot. Former Mayor Harry Fletcher of Providence is making a stiff fight for_the nomination, as is also David J. White of East Greenwich and Harr, B. Kane of Narragansett. Mrs. Charles W. Gale of Norwich delivered a very interesting address illustrative of her travels abroad Sun- day evening at,the First Baptist church of Westerly. Her subject was A Trip to Assam, India. She told of the inci dents of travel, entertainment, the character and the customs of the peo- ple, and of the pronounced caste that existed between the upper classes. This is carried to such an extent that even in an educational institution, sup- ported by the English government, the president is hardly on speaking terms ‘with the professors. Mrs. Gale told in detail of her observation of mission- ary work and of the needs of the mis- sionaries. Her address was in the in- terest of missionary work, and practi- cal suggestions were given in a com- prehensive way. The address of Mrs. Gale was pre- ceded by a song service, reading of scriptures by Deacon Ethan Wilcox and prayer by Rev. C. F. Eldredge of Niantic, Conn.,, who supplied the pui- pit at the morning service. The members of Christ Protestant Episcopal church have donated a beautiful window to the memory of James W. Pollette, who, was an offi- ter of the church and for over a qurar- ter of a century superintendent of ihe Sunday schoo'. The memorial has been placed in_ position on the side of the church edifice nearest the town hall. It is of beautiful design and fine workmanship and is in keeiing with the other memorial windows of the church. g Mr. Pollette was a carver and statue cutter and among the most skilled em- ployed at the local granite works. He was in charge of the cutting cf the statue of The Antietam Soldier for the Antietam battlefield, regarded as ong of the finest colossal figures in the wor'd and cut from a sinsle block of granite, Mr. Pollette doin® all the actual carving. The statue is 21 feet 6 inches high, weighs 30 tons ‘and stands on a pedestal 23 fect € ‘nches high, making the total height of the monumeut 45 feet. The fi~ire i¢ almost life-like, and represents an ‘nfantry soldier standing at parade rest, Mr. Pollette died November 6, 1906, and his associate members of the ~hurch decided upon the window os a fitting tribute to his memory. The memorial is of stained glass and the ~ost was $1500. Mr, Pol'ette was s-c- retary of the River Bend Cemetery association for many years. Local Laconics.

Mrs. Agnes Cottrell and daughters Kathryn and Mary Stuart Cottrell, and Miss Janet McG. Clark, have re turned from a European trip of sev- eral months’ duration. The change in schedule of the trol- ley cars centering in Westerly makes it possible for the Groton-Stoninston cars to make the railway station a terminal, instead of the corner of Broad and Main streets. Many of the friends and relatives of Ruth Elizabeth Congdon, widow of Deacon Stephen A. Congdon, attended her funeral at her residence in Dis- trict No, 6, Monday afternoon. Burial was at River Bend. The services were conducted by Rev. Clayton A. Burdic! Miss Annette McCall, the efficient secretary of the social welfare depart- ment of the Westerly District Nurse association, who resigned last week to take a more advantageous pla.c in Philadelphia, received a salary of $100 and room rent.
