VETERANS WILL SEE KENSINGTON MONUMENT When They Go to Department En- campment This Week at New Bri ain, One of the interesting features of the coming of the Connecticut G. A. A. encampment at New Britain this week will be a visit ti what is be- lieved to be the first soldiers’ monu- ment erected in the country to com- memorate the memory of those who died in the Civil war. The monument was erected in Kensington in 1863, two years before the Civil war was ended. The veterans on this visit will also look upon the large flag made by the women of Kensington on _Monday, April 14, two_days after Sumter was fired upon. H>th are results of the patriotic spdsit stirred up dy the Rev. Elias B. Hillasd, then pastor of the church. Samuel Upsor, postmaster at Ken- sington, appcared at the service in e Kensington church on faunday marring, Apvii 13, and anpounced that Tort Sumter was fired upon the day Before. Rev. Mr Hillard put aside his .ermon and ¢elivered a patriotic ad- dress. The next afternoon the women of the village met 2nd sewed sho now historic flag. There were no sewing achines thfn and the massive barmer a hand-stitched product. When completed it was swung to the breezes in_front of the church. The ssoldiers’ monument was un- veiled in the summer of 1363, just at the time when the Confederacy had some of its most notable victories. At ihe suszestion of Rev. Mr. Hillard, a public subscription fund was raised. N. A Moore designed the shaft and the sontract for the monument, which is brownstone material, was $350. It was st from the brownstone quarry at Portiand and was hauled to Kensing- ion by yokes of oxen. The occaston of e dedication was a memorable one for Kensington. STATE EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS.

GREENEVILLE Holy Name Society of St. Mary’s Church Held Smoker—Personals. 5 8 7 H 9 0 The Senior Holy Name socfety of St. Mary's church conducted a very suc- cessful smoker and evening of enjoy- ment in Puldsii hall on Tuesday even- ng. ‘Fhe evening’s programme opened with a choice set of selections on the Edieon disc talking machine, loaned through the courtesy of the Porteous & Mitchell company and operated by Ed- ward Walsh. President Michael J. Curran opened the programme’s course by bidding the large audience welcome and making them feel at home. He then called on Rev. John H. Fitamaurice, chaplain of the society, who congratulated the so- ciety on its strength and the grand work which their united action was bringing about in the parish. He com- mended the smoker and programme ar- ranged as a get-together idea for an evening enjoyment. John Crawford followed with a story of The Irish Rebel, told in poetry, and his reputation as an entertainer was not dimmed with advancing years. Francis P. McNamara was heard in funny anecdotes and he commended the society in the grand movement of fostering monthly holy communion. Thomas F. Sheehan pleased with a solo, Though Your Halr is Turning Silver, You Have Got a Heart of Gold. President Curran then favored with a recitation, The Face Upon the Bar- room Floor.

Senior Curate at St. Patrick’s Church Goes to Waterbury — Succeeded by Rev. F. J. Kuster of Jewett City, Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, _senior curate at St. Patrick’s church for the past four and one-half years, was no- tified Monday by Bishop Nilan that he had been transferred to' St. Patrick’s church in the Brooklyn section of Wa- terbury, as assistant to Rev. Joseph M. Gleeson. Father Grumbly 1éft Tues- day for his home in Norwalk and is to report at the Waterbury church Thursday. Father Grumbly was assigned to Norwich in October, 1910. He had studied at St. Thomas' seminary, Hartford, and later was sent abroad by Bishop Tierney, spending several years in the seminaries at Liege and Louvain, Belgium. - He was recalled to Hartford, where he was ordained at St. Joseph’s cathedral May 9, 1906. He had done good work as an assistant pastor_in New Haven, Waterbury and East Hampton before his assignment to_the Norwich parish. Here he has lived in every way worthy of his high calling as a priest of the Roman Catholic church. Al- though having pre-eminently the hab- its of a student and scholar, quiet in his tastes and ways, he became known to the people of the parish for his de- votion to his work, and his_ gentle, considerate manner’ toward the sick and aged. He is the possessor of a fine voice, and his singing in the high masses was always true and tuneful His sermons were thoughtful and care- fully prepared and gave evidence of his acquaintance with books, as well as of the sincerity and earnestness of his purpose in " seeking to influence his hearers to right living. He served as chaplain of White Cross council, K. of C., and won the confidence and good will of all the members. Father Grumbly's knowledge of lan- guages made him a valuable assistant to Rev. J. I7. Broderick in a parish of so many natlonalities as is St. Pat- ricck’s. His successor, Rev. Francis J. Kuster, who comes to Norwich after eight years in Jewett City, is aleo an accomplished linguist. The announcement of Father Grum- Dbly’s transfer caused many expressions of Tegret on the part of St. Patrick's parishioners, among whom he has la- bored so faithfully, and who appreciate the high ideals which he has:set, espe- clally among the boys and young men of the parish.

Lady Assistant FINAL EFFORT AGAINST SEPARATION Bill to Form Old Norwich is Now in Hands of Committee— Citizens From All Ranks Testify That Town’s Sentiment is Against Separation—Letter From Judge Thayer of Supreme Court and Telegram From Judge Greene of Superior Court. The committee on new towns and probate districts gave a third and final hearing Tuesday afternoon in the old senate chamber in the state cap- itol on_the petition of Frank B. Rick- etson for the incorporation of a new town to be called Old Norwich within the limits of the present town of Nor- wich. Produced Official Records. Corporation Counsel Joseph T, Fan- ning presented to the committee a copy of the official records concerning the annexation of a part of Preston to the town or city of Norwich, show- ing a vote of the court of common councll against the proposition. He also referred to the annexation of Sunny- side, the records of the city showing a record of the council favoring the measure. The Norwich Board of Trade reported against any annexa- tion of any part of the town except Sunnyside and Norwich Town and Bean Hill, and these places were men- tloned as residents of these sections favored annexation. Taftville and Yantlc were not included. Mr. Fan- ning then reclted in detail the action of the town, the publicity given the matter and the legislative procedure that followed. The title of corpora- tion_counsel does not appear on any of these papers, as they were covered by the action of the Board of Trade. Never Favored Annexing Taftville. At that time, in 1812, there was & plan to annex Norwich Town and Bean Hill, and Mr, Fanning suggested that he was before the committee and de- clared that the city and the Board of Trade were opposed to consolidation and that matter was disposed of. At- torney Carpenter had stated that Mr. Fanning, as corporation counsel, ad- vocated annexation at that time, which Mr. Fanning denied, adding that the city the Board of Trade and himself were opposed to annexation. A com- mission form of government was sought, a few years ago, and that was defeated by referendum, and runder that proposition there was no attempt at annexation. Mr. Fanning said as representing_ the city, he had nothing to do with the introduction of any act relative to annexation. He referred to the annexation of Greeneville, which was made by referendum and which was opposed by thg people of Greene- ville. He read the resolutions adopted against any annexation or consolida- tion, passed by the largely attended city meeting. There was no desire at any time to annex Taftville, Yantic or Occum to the city of Norwich. Fire Protection Conditions. Chief Howard L. Stanton, who was before the committee when the hear- ing was adjourned a week ago, was recalled. He said the fire alarm sys- tem had been extended to the Backus hospital and other institutions outside the city of Norwich. Regular inspec- tions are made of these places and they are {reated the same as city property. There are thirteen hydrants outside the city limits for fire purposes which are as ready for use as any in the city. While Backus hospital has a partial fire equipment, there is no one to work it except the nurses. He said it was the aim of the Norwich city firé department to render aid and ser- vice in all parts of the town, or else- where. He said the city department had saved much property in the Nor- wich Town district. There is a steam fire engine located in Yantic, of an antiquated type and about S5 per cent. of_efficiency. In response to query from Attorney Henney Mr. Stanton said the board of underwriters had criticised the condi- tions in Norwich and sald the pipe service was inadequate. Finds Fourth District Against Division Representative Albert J. Bailey op- posed the separation and sald he was a resident of the town and not the city and was perfectly famillar with the conditions and since this controversy arose he inquired into_ the sentiment of the people of the Fourth district and that 75 per cent. of the residents are opposed to any division of the town of Norwich Should this petition prevail it would leave such a small part of the town that annexation to the city would be necessary for exist- ence. Mr. Bailey referred to the meth- od adopted in securing the names of signers to the petition-for separation. With these petitions disposed of what is there before the committee? Simply two men, one from Yantic, the other a non-resident, but manager of a large manufacturing concern. These were more than balanced by a large num- ber of taxpayers resident in the pro- posed new town. If called upon to speak on this matter, he would do so without gloves. He was unalterably opposed to any separation. In response to a query of Attorney Henney, Mr. Bailey said he was op- posed to the proposition first, last and all the time, and would so be urtil all concerned favored the project. Vote of Chamber of Commerce. Herbert R, Branche, a resident of the Fourth district, recently built a house in that section, which he says he would not have done if he thought this separation scheme was to pre- vail. Mr. Branche told of a lady who had planned to expend $10,000 in build- ing in the town and would not do so if this petition were granted, 'Mr. Branche, representing the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, submitted a vote of the chamber, which was strongly in opposition to the proposed separation, backed by many substan- tlal reasons. The dGocument from the Norwich Chamber of Commerce was the strong- est' argument made at the continuous hearing, against the separatfon of the old town of Norwich. Mr. Branche said he was in business in Norwich and was interested in its development and ‘urged the committee to. deal fair- ly with the majority of the people of the town of Norwich. Thirty mem- bers of the chamber reside in the sec- tion proposed to separate and only four of them are in favor. He was opposed to any annexation as well as consolidation. Want No Di Charles I." Smith, engaged in the mercantile business, was opposed to the separation and came as a delegate from the Chamber of Commerce. There are over 200 members of the chamber and many reside outside the imaginary. city line and the general sentimentis. against separation. Norwich is the natural shopping place for the mill operatives and the trade comes from Yantic, Taftville, Norwich Town and Fitchville. ® r Mr. Smith said ‘the Chamber .of Commerce, as an orgasiization, was opposed to any separation, and also, to consolidation. We want no' morth, no south, no east or -west,, insofar as| Norwich 'is concerned. The chamber ion. is bound by business interests against consolidation. b 90 Per Cent. Against Separation. Alble L. Hale, a resident of Nor- wich Town for 44 years, and registrar of, voters for years, also on, republican town committee, said that 90 per cent. of the residents of the Fourth district were opposed to separation and on a trip to Occum he found no one in favor of the scheme. - In response to a query from Mr. Alcorn, he said he signed the petition for separation, under the belief that there was a bill pending for consolidation, when he found that was not true he withdrew his signature. Separation District Fairly Treated. Charles S. Holbrook, town clerk for 14 years, told the committee that the town of Norwich that is in the district that it is planned to separate has been very fairly treated in the matter of town officers and at the present time all the selectmen reside outside the city limits. He was not in favor of separation and the sentiment is over- whelmingly against separation. The only place where there is any senti- ment is in Taftville, where the Pone- mah mills are located. Mr. Holbrook had queried over a thousand people in seeking the sentiment and, if necessary, they would come to Nor- wich and’ testify. Judge Brown’s Views. Judge Lucius Brown said he was as- sured that there was not 10 per cent. of the voters of the town in favor of annexation, and he earnestly asked the committee not to favor the separation of any town. No new town has been made in 24 years and he hoped there would not be another. He did not think the present legislature would favor any new town formation. Judge Brown read a quotation of Timothy Dwight which referred to the solidity of towns and the necessity of stand- ing ewith unbroken lines. He asked the committee not to take the initia- tive in the formation of new towns. He was also opposed to consolidation, but if the city wants a part of the town, and that part wants to come In, he had no objection. 400 Signed Under Misapprehension. Atty. Alcorn submitted lists of names opposed to separation who had signed in favor of separation under a misap- prehension that there was a bill pend- ing favorable to consolidation of city and town. There were over 400 names in the lst. Two Judges Show Their Opposition. Telegrams _in _ opposition to di- vision from R. D, Hill and Judge Gardiner Greene of the superior court; also a letter from Judge John M. Thay- er of the supreme court were put in evidence. Atty. Bdwin W. Higgins for General W. A. Alken of the Otis library sub- mitted a letter in opposition and told of the large circulation of the library in the town of Norwich. He also pre- sented a petition from 23 members of the general assembly from New Lon- don county asking the committee for an unfavarable report. City Water Supply for Parts of Town. John J. Corkery in answer to ques- tions said he was a graduate from the Norwich Free Academy and Yale and is at present superintendent of Nor- wich water works. The water system is one of the best in New England and at the time the fire underwriters visited Norwich the system was prior to the present improvements. The service, fire and domestic, has been extended into the Taftville district. In the proposed new town there are eight miles of water pipe, a part of the city service, with fire hydrants in the Taft- ville section,13 in Norwich Town and four on the Backus hospital property. There is an investment of about $400,- 000 in the proposed new town. In re- sponse to query from Attorney Hen- ney, Mr. Corkery said the town users pay more than the city users, but there are four semi-charitable institutions Who are not required to pay an addi- tional 2 per cent. All the expenses of the system rest with the city. Mayor Reads Letters. Mayor Timothy C. Murphy regarded the separation idea decidedly unfavor- ably and is opposed to consolidation unless those interested and resident in the town section desire to be annex- ed. He spoke in high terms of the Ponemah mills and its benefit to the town, and said that neither Mr. Rick- etson nor Mr. Atwood were familiar with Norwich conditions. He read a letter in opposition from J. F. Rogers of the United States Finishing compa- ny, from the Hopkins & Allen Arms company, Charles L. Hubbard, presi- dent of the Thames National bank, Miss Bill, a lady taxpayer on $123,000, Ada L. Richards, who pays taxes on $175,000, Z. L. White of the Shetucket company, J. C. Henderson of Crescent Firearms company. He read a letter from the Thermos Bottle company, which was first located in the town outside of the city, had come into the town by the annexation of Sunnyside, and at the request of the Thermos company. Letters were also read from Mrs. Bridget McGrory, American Strawboard company, the Shetucket company, Nancy E. Lucas, West Side silik mill, the Ulmer Leather company, by Henry F. Ulmer. Over $7,305,000 is represented in taxation. When Win- slow Williams says the majority of residents outside the city, in the town, are in favor of separation, he is mis- taken, and Messrs. Atwood and Ricket- son are not familiar with conditions. Mr. Murphy added that if Mr. Eccles, late of the Ponemah mills, had been spared, there would have been no pe- tition for separation before the com- mittee. General Sentiment Against Change. Frank J. King, treasurer of the Reid & Hughes company, one of the largest stores in the city, and president of the Board of Trade, told the committee it would be detrimental to_the town if separation - prevailed. ‘The _general sentiment is decidedly opposed to any separation, and also to annexation, un- less there was desire to be annexed by the residents of the sections of the town interested. Mr. King is also a member of the Mohegan park commis- sion, and entrance has been made into the park for the benefit of Taftville, He did not think there was any ground for fear that there was effort being made leading to_consolidation. ‘Cornelius J. Downes, registrar of voters, was epecial agent for census of 1910. He gave the population of the proposed new town in 1910 as 6,894. The population of the Greeneville dis- trict was about 4,000. The population of that part of Preston annexed in 1901 45 about 2,500, Mr, ‘Fanning cailed attention of the committee that the municipal gas and electric light have been extended all through the town of Norwich, simply to show friendly relations. 2 Rebuttal Witnesses. Attorney Carpenter introduced sev- eral witnesses in_ rebuttal. S D. W. O’'Brien, a resident of Taft- ville, and not in the employ of the Po- nemah company, said he was not able to find one man who changed his mind from the time petitions were circulat- ed. Mr. O'Brien said he ehod the Rorses of the Ponemah mills. Adolph Benoit, an insurance agent, said that every business man in Taft- ville told him to stick to the separa- tion plan and that he had visited many- tenements of the Ponemah mills and could not find anyone, who favored sep- aration, Stution Agent Hermon J. Gibbs of Yantlc snid Le canvaseed the names of those who signed the _petition and found the gentiment in Yantic still in favor of separation. He favored Yan- tlo being a separate town or borough. Mr. Gibbs said he was not a direct taxpayer, but he was a voter. ‘William Palmer authorized the state- ment that he was-opposed to division of the town. Mr, Carpenter introduced the town and city books to show indebtedness, advertising for annexation, list of water commissioner to show an injustice to the residents of the town. New sec- tion was added to the bill so that ofi- cers of corporations can hold office without reference to residence or loca- tion of the institution. Mr., Carpenter in response to a query from Mr. Alcorn sald he was satisfied that the party who inserted the legislative advertise- ment was a resident of the city of Nor- wich, but he did not know for sure just 'who it was, or whether it was Civil Engineer Pitcher. The matter was closed with this hearing, as no arguments are to be made by counsel. ANTI-SEPARATION ARGUMENTS MAKE STRONG IMPRESSION. Opponents of Bill Satisfied They Have Made Out a Strong Case. After the committee hearing at the capitol on Tuesday on the proposed bill to create the town of Old Norwich, many of those returning from the hearing expressed the bellef that both the mass .and the matter of the evi- dence presented by the opponents to division of the town had completely riddled the case that had been pre- sented by those favoring division and one Norwich man pointed out what he considered an indication that the ad- vocates of the measure were weaken- ing. ‘This was in a suggestion made by Attorney Carpenter that the ad- vocates of the proposed new _ town might be willing to change the line so as to run it around to leave the Back- us_hospital property in Norwich, To_this, Attorney A. A. Browning for the town suggested why not make another change in the line so as to leave Norwich its reservoir property and the United Workers institution at Norwich Town. The telegram of remonstrance against any change sent by Judge Gardiner Greene of the superior court and the lctter of similar tenor from Judge John M. Thayer of the supreme court were looked upon as calculated to have great weight in the consider- ation of the committee. Chamber of Commerce Resolutions. The resolutions passed by Norwich Chamber of Commerce and presented by the committee were also listened to with much attention. Opposing Separation. Among those present opposing sep- aration of the town were: Attorneys Joseph T. Fanning, Amos A. Browning, Edwin T, Higgins, Willlam H. Shields, Mayor_Murphy, Frank J. King of the board of trade, Herbert R. Branche and Charjgs I. Smith of the Chamber of Cominerce, Charles S. Holbrook, Senator John H. Barnes, Representa- tive A. J. Bailey. Judge T. J.

Allen, J. Hen- ry Saston, Alble Hale, W. O. Rogers, Henry W. Tibbits, Harold Robinson, Charles W. Comstock. The invitation to visit Norwich and look over the situation has not vet been accepted by the committee.
