SEEKING VIOLATORS OF BIRD LAW Inspector Hennessy of First Federal District Making Headquarters Here for a Few Days. F. W. Hennessy of Providence, United States district inspector, came here Monday for the purpose of in- vestigating several complaints which have been made relative to the viola- tion of the game and bird laws. In- spector Hennessy is assigned under the federal migratory bird law to the first district, which' comprises the states of New England. He is mak- ing his headquarters at the Wauregan House for a few days. He has been in conference with a number. of sportsmen of this vicinity relative to the manner in which the federal law is being observed and would be glad to receive any reports of violations for the purpose of bring- ing about the prosecution of the law- ‘Dbreakers. s He is busy at alf times investigating conditions and violations and states that there are often cases whicch should receive attention although the game wardens often think they are not important enough to report. Vio- lations which have occurred within the past three years will be taken no- tice of, and Inspector Hennessy states that he now has eighteen cases pend- ing before different courts. From what he has learned from Iocal Tesidents he Is convinced that there are violations in this part of the state which should be checked and’ he is de- ftermined to accomplish it if possible.

Taft Made Captain at West Side Station. B At 3 o'clock Monday “fternoon a number of changes in the Norwich fire department went into effect, owing to several promotions and reassignments. Among the changes is the promotion of Acting Lieutenant Henry R. Taft to the captaincy of Chemical company No. 2, at the West Side. He has been at the Central station with the auto- chemical company. The assignments are as follows: Fngine company No. 1—Captain, Ed- ward I. Stinson; acting lieutenant for the present, John E. Blackburn; re- mainder of company the same as here- tofore. Truck company No. 1—Acting lieu- tenant, David Fitzgerald; remainder of company same as heretofore. Combination _chemical No. 1—Cap- tain, Charles J. Connell; acting lleu- tenant, Dennis Brennan; driver, Paf- rick Brennan. Chemical company No. Henry R. Taft; acting James W. Ryan; driver, Ready. - Chemical company No. Alvin D. Lewis; 2—Captain, lieutenant, John E. 3—Captain, acting lieutenant, Jo- seph Buckley; driver, Patrick Caples. Captain Taft's promotion grew out of the resignation of Capt. James M. Kelly of Chemical company No. 3 at the Falls and the transfer of Captain Lewis from the West Side station to the Falls. Captain Kelly’s resignation was accepted at a meeting of the board of fire commissioners, Thomas H. Beckley, Milo R, Waters and William J. Kramer, with Chief Howard L. Stanton, on Saturday evening at the Central station. Captain Taft has been a member of the paid department since the erection of the Central station. He became a member of Truck company No. 1 Jan 1, 1905, having previously been a Vol unteer fireman. When he entered the permanent paid department he was as- signed as tillerman of the truck com- pany and was transferred to driver ot Engine company No. 1 Sept. 1, 1905. Heo remained in this position until March 1, 1912, when he was given en- tire charge of the autochemical. A chznge in the department made him acting lieutenant July 28, 1914, in which position he has remained until now. The election of John E. Ready. a gunmaker in the employ of the Hop- kins & Allen Arms company, and a callman of Chemical company No. 2, to tho permanent department, fills the vacancy there. He has been callman since Aug. 1, 1910. Probably the first man to enter the paid department in this city is Capt. Alvin D. Lewis, who goes to the Falls station from the West Side station. For a time he was assistant of the old voiunteer department. Records show that he joined the fire department in this city back in 1875. He was made captain” of Chemical company No. 2 Nov. 1, 1902. The board of fire commissioners have accepted the resignation of Callman Fred C. Lamb of Chemical company No. 3, and the matter of filling vacan- cies in the list of callmen was put over to a future meeing. ALUMNI REUNION AT impressed by the pleasing manner in which they were entertained. Trunks Took Fire. A clothing merchant on Central ave- nue nearly last two or three new trunks by fire Monday afternoon. It seems the trunks only recently ar- riveq and were on the edge of the sidewalk.

The wrapping imme- diately caught fire. The fire was d covered though before any very se rious damage was done. King Bolt Broke.

The first mid-year alumni day at the Connecticut Agricultural college, on Saturday was a big success.

The big same com- menced at 4 o’clock between the var- sity and Yale second team. The game was fast and exciting throughout, Yale winning by the score of 24-18. The get-together supper in the din- ing hall, proved to be the feature of the day. After a substantial meal the meeting was turned over by the pres- ident of the students’ organization to J. B. Thwing, '02, of Hartford, who acted as toastmaster. President C. L. Beach of the college, the first speaker, welcomed the visiting alumni officially and hoped that the custom of having a mid-winter alumni day would be an established custom. He also touched on the important bearing that exten- sion work is to have on the future of agriculture. ®icott King, ’97, a member of the legislature anq a trustee of the col- lege, spoke on the fine spirit shown on the part of the student body. V. G. Aubry, 12, extension expert at Rut- gers, reminded the alumni of the ar- rival of President Beach, his pledges, and how faithfully he has carried them out in the upbuilding of the college. A. L. Clarke, '05, gave a serious talk on the danger of intercropping in stu- dent activities to the detriment of the student. H. G. Manchester, 91, another trus- tee, told of the need of having a phy- sical instructor next year to make ef- ficient use of the new gym. Mr. Man- chester spoke at length on the value of athletics and the benefits that the student body would derive from the same under the direction of an in- structor. Other speakers were C. B. Pomeroy 00, C. H, Savage '88, A. W. Man- chester 05, and G. H. Lamson 02, The supper ended with rousing cheers for the alumni and the singing of the alma mater.

The Dramatic club staged a one act farce, Whiskers, which was immensely appreciated, and then followed several selections by the Glee and Mandolin clubs. The fraternity reunions lasteq into the wee small hours of the morning. The day itself can be said to mark an epoch in the history of the col- lege. Love for the college was re- awakened and all avowed their firm intentions of being present next year.

BIRDS AND LIVESTOCK AT MOHEGAN PARK Inventory Shown at March Meeting of Park Board. The March meeting of the park board with Chairman Joseph T. Fan- ning presiding and M. A, Jensen ser ing as secretary pro_tem in the ab- sence of Secretary William A. Nor- ton, whois on a western trip, was held on Monday afternoon at the office of Mr. Fanning. There was little but routine business to transact. An inventory of the birds and live- stock at the park was on hand from Superintendent John Duff, which showed how largely this department 3 park has grown since the first atures were gathered there xhibition purposes. The following was the list: Ten dcer, 2 monkeys, 14 rab 28 pig Pekin ducks, ducks, inese geese, 2 can geese, 2 Canada geese, 2 swans. 21 Japanese silkies, 5 Lakenvelder chickens, 2 bronze turkeys, 3 white Holland ' turkeys. One of the interesting things about the deer is that there is a wild deer that has been hanging around on_ the outside of the enclosure for a long time, but so far it has eluded all at- tempts to get it inside the fence. Su- perintendent Duff has also tried to drive it away, but it returns constant- ly whatever he does to scare it off. He has given it frequent chances to go in through the gate, but so far it has provea too wise, though one day it lingered for a long time right on the verge of stepping into the enclosure. At the last moment when it seemed that the stranger deer was about to step inside and join the park herd it retired again to wild life. During the winter the park board received a petition with a large num- ber of names, largely those of the boys and girls in the neighborhood, who asked that the board arrange some way by which the surface of the small skating pond could be flooded at night S0 as to provide a new surface of ice each day. The board could not see how this could be done without such expense as to make the plan prohib- itive just at present. CRISPUS ATTUCKS. Part Which This Slave Took in Be- half of American Liberty Discussed Before Union Lyceum, The Union Lyceum held an inter- esting meeting In Grace Memorial Baptist church at 4 p. m. Sunday, Rev. R, B. Harris, pastor. The subject for discussion was the part Crispus Attucks took in the early days of the Revolutionary war. There was a large gathering. Wil- liam T, Fields opened the discussion with an earnest address, after which there_were remarks by Revs. Harris and Biddle and Deacon Payne. The following paper on Attucks was read by Miss Frances Fields. Among those whose blood was first shed for the cause of American lib- erty was the runaway slave, Crispus Attucks. Having escaped from his master, William Brown, of Framing- ham, Mass, at the age of 27, being then six feef two {inches high, with “short curled hair,” he made his way to Boston. His master, in 1750, of- fered a reward of ten pounds for him, but Crispus was not found. ‘When next heard from he turms up in the streets of Boston, Agtucks had no doubt been listening to the flery eloquence of the patriots of those burning times. The words of the eloquent Itis had kindled his soul and though a runaway slave, his pa- triotism was so deep that he it was who sacrificed his life first on the altar of American liberty. General Gage, the English com- mander, had taken possession of Bos- ton. (Under the British flag gaily dressed soldiers marched the streets of Boston as through a conquered city: their every act was an insult to the inhabitants. Finally, on Mat#ch 5, 1770, with Crispus Attucks at the head of a large crowd of citizens, a fight ensued on the street. The troops were ordered to fire on the “mob,” and Attucks fell, the first one,’ with three others, Caldwell, Gray and Maverick. The town bell was rung, the alarm given and citizens from the country ran into Boston, where the greatest excitement pre- vailed. The burial of ‘Attucks, the only un- known dead, was from Faneull hall. The funeral procession was enormous and many of the best citizens followed this former slave and unknown hero to an honored grave. Dinner Party in New London, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McKenna of New London entertained at a dinner party Sunday evening in honor of their first anniversary. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. James P, McKenna Sr., Mr. and Mrs. James W.

WHOLE FAMILY TORTURED BY ITCHING RASH Kansas City, Mo.—“My husband had a rash all over his body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY was in the same condition. It looked scaly and raised up on the arms and body in big bumps. This trouble burned and itched so that it would nearly drive one crazy. It was always worse at night, so we could not sleep, “We all had this trouble for about two or three years, and during that time tried manyr remedies and pre- scriptions with no results. We tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and it ROLIEVED AT ONCE, and be- fore the thira jar of ointment had been used, we were all completely cured. It has been four months since we were cured, and there are no traces of the trouble.”—(Signed) Mrs. S. A. Clark- son, 1520 Lawn Ave., Oct. 24, 1914.

Report of His Sudden Death Was All a Mistake. Sympathizing friends who called at the home of the Bogue family of Poquonock on Saturday evening last to extend condolence over the reported death of the father of the family, Lewis Bogue, were startled when they entered the house to find the parent seated before a fireplace, enjoying the comforts of home, and rejoicing in the fact that he was not dead. An evening paper printed the story that Mr. Bogue died suddenly Satur- day morning while in a boat fishing. Furthermore, it was reported that Dr. Bucklyn had pronounced death due to heart failure.” “Five_ children survive him, and his wife died a year ago, etc.” it was stated. The facts are Mr. Bogue, who is troubled with heart disease, and had been ill_ for several days, borrowed a rowboaf” Saturday morning for the purpose of fishing for eels in _the Poquonock river. While near the shore he fell from the boat and was unable to climb back into it again. His shouts gained the attention of a man passing, who _came to assistance and pulled Mr. Bogue ashore. He was immediate- ly taken home, overcome by the chill | of the river water, and fainted on the way. He soon revived, however, and to prove that he had wholly recovered he chopped wood for several hours | during the afternoon.—New London | Globe.
