J, Corkery AGAINST TOWN-CITY SEPARATION General Opinion of Board of Trade Members—Committee to Confer With Those Interested—Also Expresses Dis- favor of Consolidation of City and Town—Committee Named to Confer Over Fire Protection for City’s Hill Districts. * The bill which is to come before the legislature proposing the separation of the city and town of Norwich was the principal topic of discussion on Tues- day evening at the meeting of the Norwich Board of Trade held in the rooms of the Board in the Thayer building. The discussion before the fitty men at the meeting resulted in two actions—one the formation of a committee of investigation, and the other a vote expressing the sense of the Board of Trade as opposed to con- solidation of city and town. |- After President Frank J. King had called the meeting to order at § o'clock, the minutes of the annual meeting were read by Secretary Hen- ry W. Tibbits and were approved. New Members. . New members proposed and voted in were Adolph De Vries, Arthur H. Brewer, H. I, Dennett and D. M. and O. S. Peck. An amendment to the by-laws was passed making the chairmen of the different committees members ©of the executive committee. Accommodations in New Rooms. President King called the attention of the members to the new rooms in which they were meeting for the first time. He saig they were open from 8.30 in the morning to 6 In the evening and that through the courtesy of the Norwich Commercial scheol a sten- ographer and typewriter was on hand all the time for the accommodation of the members, free of charge. He in- vited a frequent use of the rooms on the part of the membership. A letter from the New England Clean-up and Paint-up committee in- viting_general participating in clean- up week from May 2nd to Sth was referred to the Clty Beautiful com- mittee. There was also an invitation to an industrial exhibit in Norwalk and_a letter announcing the gift to the Board of Trade of a Hendrix Com- mercial Register. President King called attention to the proposed bill for the formation of a new town out of the fourth and fifth voting districts, which he said had at first been considered much as a but had now gone considerably ond that as Winslow T. Williams of Yantic, Mr. Atwood and F. B, Ric ettson of the Ponemah company had gone actively to work on the matter and we ought not to let the matter go by default. If such a thing were ac- complished it would reduce our grand list to about $11,000,000 and the pop- ulation of the town to 20,000 or 22,000. Water Pressure on the Hills. Before this was taken up further Joseph D, Haviland, a former president of the board, calleq attention to two fires on hilly points which he said he had had opportunity to observe and Where the water supply was shown to be inadequate. He said he was not criticising the water department, but he had been told that these fire losses would have been kent down to 2 quar- ter of what they were if there had been pressure to get the water to the fire. He had been told that this could be remedied with little expense to the city, he sald, and he concluded his remarks with offering - the motion, Which was passed, that a committee be appointed by the chair to take into consideration the matter of water sup- ply upon the hilliops of the city. Haviland, and Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton as the committee. Separation Discussed. , In response to a question from John M. Lee, President King said that the soparation movement had consider- able “strength, and Jokin J. Corkery spoke upon tite gubject, saying that he thought the Incréase in the town taxes was one of the reasons for this bill, but when the school tax was taken into consideration, there was not much difference in the first district though that' would not apply to all districts. He thought the board ought to appear in_opposition to the bill. It was mentioned that Mr. Back, who is chairman of the committee ‘on new towns and probate districts before which this bill would come, was also counsel for the Ponemah mills. Might Have Referendum, A. A. Browning was asked what was the power of the legislature to pass this measure without reference to the city and he said they haq that power, but if it were going to be passed it would be very desirable to have a ref- erendum vote attached to it. Outlying Districts Harassed. Shepard B. Palmer sald that the sit- uatlon was a serlous one and that he believed that the outlying districts had been harassed by the frequent suggestions about consolidation and had taken this mea~: to separate themselves from the city, R, H. Gray stated :hat he had been told in one section of the town where he ‘had been at work that 1,000 out of the 1,200 Voters had signed the petition. Judge Luclus Brown sald that he was equally opposed to consolidation or separation and he did not believe any sane legislature would pass the bill for separation. He thought the city ought to take hold and oppose it and the mayor and common council should be enlisted. Fear of Consolidation, F. W. Cary said that he thought it was fear of consolidation that made the people in the outlying districts sign the petition and he thought it was due them to let them know how we felt and that this would be a good time to pass a vote against consoli- dation and so take away this argu- ment_which was being used. J. J. Corkery argued that it was a town matter and if thers were a pub- lic expressfon it ought to be in a town meeting for it affected every person’s taxes who would be left in the part of the town not taken. There would be sections of the town on the West Side and below Laurel Hill not in- cluded in the new town proposed. Mr. Browning said his attitude was one ©f opposition to consolidation un- less the parts outside wanted it. They should never be compelled to come in. ‘Announced General Harland’s Death. During a recess that was taken to await the arrival of Judge Nelson J. Ayling, who was to speak on the sub- ject, President King informed the members of the news of the death of Gen. Edward Harland, which had just been received. Judge Ayling spoke briefly when he came, saying that this separation bill had been started as & sort or backfire to consolidation, but he thought it had now got beyond the expectations of even its promoters. Committee of Five. After some more discussion, a mo- tion that had been made by John M. Lee was passed to the effect that a committee of five, including the chair, be appointed by the chair to consider the matter of the proposed division of A s Le g e Rl the way of reporting back to this body or otherwise as seems to them wise. President King named John M. Lee, A. A. Browning, Judge N. J. Ayling and Thomas H. Beckley with himself as the committee. F. W. Cary spoke of his opposition to the idea of consolidation, especially it it were to include Taftville, where about $250,000 had been spen-. in light- ing. sewer and water systems which would have to be paid for. If such a cunsolidation were attempted we would heve to issue bonds, and he was op- posed to consolidation unless the out- lying districts wanted it. Former President James C. Macpher- son spoke of what had been stated be- fore the legislative committee that the Board of Trade was opposed to con- solidation in general but_had favored taking in Sunnyside and Preston. This had been done after investigation of Wwhat was involved in taking in Taft- ville if justice were to be done to the Ponemah company. Expressed Sense of the Meeting. At the suggestion of Judge Avling, a motion was passed that it is the sense of the oBard of Trade that it is opposed to consolidation of the town and city under one government with- out the consent of the outlying districts which would thus be brought into the city. Former President Haviland said that he had never been in favor of consoli- dating the entire town so as to bring ary burden upon any one, but he had been in favor of taking in Norwich Town because of the benefits which it enioyed. In answer to Mr. Corkery, President King said the Board of Trade had never gone on record as favoring con- solidation, although it had been given credit for it. Mr. Corke:~ called attention to the new factory erectcd on Chestnut street by Mr, Gordon, where there Is 20.000 feet of floor space in a fine modern building for the Jocation of new indus- tries. It was voted to call this to the at- tention of the new industries commite tee. Principal L. M. Crandall stated that the Norwich Commercial school would do any circularizing free of charge, as this would be part of the school cur- riculum. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Crandall. Committee on Resolutions. After the appointment of Judge Ay- ling, Browning and Judge Lucius Prown as a committee to prepare reso- lutions upon the death of General Har- iand, the meeting adjourned at 9.4 CAUGHT WEARING CLOTHES NOT HIS OWN. John Mahoney of Lawrence Got Into Boarding House in Greeneville. John Mahoney of Lawrence, Mass., who had been a lodger at the polica station on Monday night, was caught carly Tuesday evening in a room on the third floor of a boarding house in the Cohen block on North Main street just after he had succeeded in slipping on a complete suit of clother, —trousers, vest and coat—over his own clothes and was prepared to sally. forth doubly protected against the weather. He had also changed shoes with the boarder into whose room he had wandered, but had left his own £hoes unde rthe bed. 3 Those who found him laid hold of him and kept him while they went out and got Sergeant John H. Kane who had just arrived at the Greeneville station. The sergeant superintended a disrobing act which Mahoney was compelled to go through before he was taken to police headquarters. Later the cloths which he put on were brought down and will be used against Mahoney as evidence in the charges of thefi made against him. Walter Petrofski was the man whose clothes Mahoney had slipped into, BISHOP DAVIES’ MOTHER DIES Was Attending Service in Springfield with the Bishop and Her Daughter.

General Edward Harland, president of the Chelsea Savings bank, one of the most_prominent residents of Norwich and a distinguished Civil war veteran, died Tuesday evening at 7.35 o'clock at his home at Harland Corner, Norwich Town, following a brief illness with bronchitis and asthma. Up to a few days ago he was able to look after his business affairs and had been serious- 1y ill only since last Saturday. Born June 24, 1 in Norwic the house in which his end eral Harland was a representative in maternal lines of the founders of the town 250 vears ago. His grandfather, Thomas Harland, an ingenious artisan GEN, EDWARD HARLAND, watch and clockmaler, from London, ngland, came to this country in 1773, stopping for a time in Boston, whence in the same year he moved to Nor- wich.

John Turner Wa! in this city and was admitted to the bar in New London county in 18, The firing on Sumpter in April, 1861, called forth his patriotism, and on the 25th of that month he enlisted in Company D of the Third Connecticut volunteers. He was mustered into United States ser vice on May 11, a captain of that com- pany. The Third was soon command- ed b “ol. John L. Chatfleld anl had the privilege of participating in the rst battle of the Civil war—the first Bull Run, where “the Third moved with its brigade at the head of the column under McDowell, when it ad- vanced via Centerville and Bull Run and In trying scenes on that trous fleld behaved with the firmnes and courage of a regiment of veter- Captain Harland was mustered out the three months’ service Aug. 12, wnd_on Sept. 4, 1861, Joined the Eir. i Connecticut V L; and was mustered into its service as its colonel Oct. 5, 1861.

Colonel Harland was promoted brig- adier general of volunteers Nov. 29, 1862, and commanded a brigade from that time on. In February, 1863, Harg- land's brigade comprised the Eighth, Eleventh, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-first Connecticut regiments, and formed a part of Peck’s division. General Harland shared the fcrtunes of war ajong with his company, regiment and brigade, respectively, and returned home with an honorable war record. His resignation took place on June 22, 5. Returning to his native town after the close of the war, General Harland resumed the practice of his profession and was ever an honored and esteemed citizen of the town, city and state. In 1869 and again in 1878 he was chosen Dby his fellow citizens to represent them in the state legislature. In 1870 he represented district in the' state serate, and was president pro tempore of that body. From 1872 until 1876 he was the efficient judge of probate of the Norwich district.

In 1875 General Harland was chosen a director of the Chelsea Savings bank, and a number of years later he was chosen vice president. In 1890 he was elected president, being the third president since 1its ~organization in 1858, and continued to serve in that capacity unti] his death. General Har- land was one of the corporators of the W. W. Backus hospital. General Har- lard never married. He ls survived by a sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Har- land, who resided with him. He was president of the Aspinook company of Jewett City and a mem- ber of the Norwich Goif club, an or- ganization In which he was greatly in- terested. He was a man of broad sympathies, upright In all his associations, bearing himself in all the relations of life and citizenship 8o as to merit the esteem, love and respect of his fellow citizens. One has only to read between the lines to judge of the worth of such a men, and his death is a distinct loss to the community. John O'Brien.

Bayonne, N.

There are burg- larious bees, - filibustering sparrows, and numerous murderous individuals in all branches of the animal and in- sect world. Bees, in order to save themselves the trouble of working, have been known to attack well- stocked hives in masses, kill the senti- nels, massacre the inhabitants, rob the hives, and carry off the provisions. Repeated success in this kind of work begets in them a taste for rob- bery ‘and violence, and they recruit whole companies, which get more and moere numerous until regular colonies of brigand bees are formed. It has been_proved .by the famous Professor Lombroso, of Italy, that much crime can be produced among bees by drink just as among men. By giving work- ing bees a mixture of honey and brandy to drink you can introduce brigandage into an otherwise well- conducted hive. Indeed, one variety of bee lives en- tirely by plunder. One seems to feel a little feeling of sinful satisfaction at the news, for so often as children have bees been set before us as examples of industry, and now we know that some of them are born criminals, looters, and drunkards.
