Acting on orders of the internal de- partment in Washington, investigators are operating in New London with a view to rounding up those who through negligence, intentional or otherwise, have not complied with the necessary formality of flling a sworn statement of income in excess of $8,000 annually on or before March 1, 1914. Archibald Spalding of Norwich and Captain Kennedy of New Haven, in- come tax collectors in the employ of the internal revenue department, have been there for several days, and it is rumcred that their mission is along lines similar to those which the inves- ilgators are following. The -penalty for failure to make return under the income tax law is a severe one. In the first place, it entails the payment of 50 per cent. additional tax and a flne of $5 Besides this, prosecution may follow under the criminal law, with the possibility of fine and im- prisonment. Since the income tax law went into effect, the collectors and others con- nected with its enforcement have been cautioned In regard to giving out any information relative to those who were subjected to it. For this reason no definite information is obtainable. It is rumored, however, that there have been numerous evasions of the law in New London. Orne way in which the department in Washington gains information as to delinquents is when a certain member of a profession, such as medicine or dentistry, pays his income tax and then finds out that his neighboring member, doing as much or more busi- ness than he is, has not paid. Often a prompt “holler” goes up that reaches federal ears, and then there is trouble brewing. OLD “TRIPE WORKS"” TOTAL LOSS BY FIRE. Grass Fire Spread to the Building on Thursday Afternoon, A single story wooden building. 30 x 32 feet in size, located in Thames- ville near the tuberculosis sanatorium and known as the “Tripe Works” was totally destroyed by fire between 5 and 6 o’clock Thursday afternoon. The building caught from a large grass fire that raged in the neighborhood. It was formerly owned by <Charles N Chemplin but was purchased some- time ago by a Mr. Saunders. Of late the building had been used as a store- house for farm tools. PAST MASTERS’ NIGHT FOR 10TH ANNIVERSARY. In Preston City Grange—Ten Past Masters Present.

A visiting day for parents and oth- ers interested in the schools of the town was arranged for in the schools on Thursday and resulted in quite a large attendance of visitors in all the schools of the town. The majority of those who took this opportunity to see their children in school were mothers, as each child had been asked to write and deliver to its mother an invitation to visit the school he or she attended. Many were the words of admiration for the splendid work which the teachers are carrying on with the children. No special programmes were planned as it was the intention of Superintendent Graham to show the mothers just what kind of ,work is regularly carried on in each grade. At the Broadway school especial in- terest was shown in the manual train- ing and domestic science departments. In the manual training department the regular work was carried on under the direction of Mr. Harvey and in the domestic sclence department samples of the various articles prepared by the children were on _exhibition bearing witness to the wide scope covered by this department. The various grades in the school were visited including the kindergarten and the scholars went trough their regular schedule of lessons in creditable manner. In Greeneville the visitors at the grammar school were also numerous and much interest was evidenced by all in the school work carried on under the direction of the varlous teacners. Examples of writing and drawings were on exhibition and they attracted admiring attention throughout the aft- ernoon. The mothers who visited the Falls school on Sachem street were much pleased with the work done by the children in the kindergarten and the children in the other grades also did themselves credit. At the conclusion of the session the ladles were served tea In the senior room by the prin- cipal who was assisted by the other teacher: The manual training work attract- ed especial attention at the Mount Pleasant street school. In the primary grade the children were heard in reading lessons while grades two and three had number work. During the last half hour of the session the 7th and Sth grades had their music lesson. Drawings and examples of writing were on exhibition. ~After the school the visitors inspected the building and a social hour was enjoyed with the teachers. At the Wequonnoc school at Taft- ville, the kindergarten and the lower grades of the school attracted the at- tention of visitors in the morning, while in the afternoon it was the up- per grades to.which particular atten- tion was given by those who came to see the work. In the afternoon at the West Town stret school an exhibition of the work done in the manual training was ar- ranged for, the boys showing the broom holders, sleeve boards, hat racks and other articles that they make in their lessons. At the Broadway school building, the girls of the school showed what their domestic science. lessons had taught them as they had a table decorated in red and white, the senior class col- ors, on which were displayed samples of their cooking, and between 3 and 4 o'clock the girls in caps and aprons, served refreshments to the visitors. There were between 30 and 40 who visited the school and saw the regular work carried on in addition to the special exhibit. HAS LIVELY RECOLLECTION OF BIG SNOW OF ’54. William S. Fletcher Was Aboard Fish- ing Smack Off Georgia Banks Then. A recent inquiry in The Bulletin from a Mansfield man who wanted to locate the date of a big snowstorm in April, in the year 1854, brought a very lively recollection of the date to Wil- liam S. Fletcher, the veteran grocer of the Falls. 1t was on April 15th, and he remem- bers the date very well, as he was aboard the fishing smack Colvychew of New London, fishing for halibut in 23 fathoms of water off Georgia Benks, when the storm set in, about 5 o'clock in the morning. Right from the start the snow began to fall very rapidly and with a strong wind it looked dangerous on the water. Capt. John Chapman, in command of the emack, ordered to weigh anchor and started for home, and as the wind was blowing in a strong, even course, they lashed the wheel and for several hours no helms- man was needed. Several times with- in 2 few hours they were forced to shake the snow from the sails. They ncaled straight for Nantucket shoals, which they reached without any dan- ger, and then proceeded for Block Isl- and. They tried to enter Block Island sound, but as the snow was falling so thick ‘at this place they were forced to retreat along the south side of Block Islard and proceeded to Long Island, but as the storm had not abated any they were forced to seek shelter at Fire Island, where they anchored untfl the storm passed. The captain, anxious to land his catch of fish, took the first opportunity to dock after this. G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT, Veterans in Session at New Britain— 236 Net Loss in Membership. The chief feature Thursday evening at New Britain at the 48th annual department convention of the Grand Army of the Republic, was the an- nual campfire, presided over by De- partment Commander F. V. Streeter. The speakers included Mayor George A. Quigley, Commander-in-Chief Da- vid Palmer of Des Moines, Iowa; Past Commander-in-Chief Alfred B. Beers of Bridgeport; Louis P. Slade, prin- cipal of the high school and A. T. Pratt, past division commander of the Sons of Veterans. The Grand Army veterans, follow- ing adjournment of their business ses- sion_Thursday, had an automoblle ride to Kensington, where they placed a wreath on the soldiers’ monument there_ At the opening of the business ses- sion Thursday there were present Tep- resentatives of the 61 posts of the state. The membership of the or- ganization is fast dwindling, the loss by death during the past year being 206 and the remaining members being 2,401, a pet loss for the year from all causes of 236. Mayor Quigley welcomed the vet- erans. Commander F. V., Streeter made his annual address, Other reports were made by Senior Vice Commander Lafayette 'W. Starr of New London, Junior Vice Com- mander George Brown of Colchester and Albert A. M., May, assistant ad- Jjutant general, the latter reporting on the statistics of the members as given and also on the amount expend- ed for charity, $1,017.75; amount of relief funds, $27,886.60 and amount of post funds, $29,088.71, and the depart- ment receipts and expenses for the year leaving cash on hand of $2,806.73. Chaplain ‘W, F. Hilton in his re- port referred to the European war saying, “We who have tasted of the cup from which other nations are drrnmng can alone best appreciate that blessing of peace for which the world’s heart is i’ea.rning." He also says: “The tlde of a rising patriotism is becoming marked in all our auxil- iary bodies and no doubt we shall soon hear strong expressions of devotion to our beloved land and the dear old flag that ghall call a halt to that spirit which looks too lightly upon the things of national life.”” Other reports were by Johm L. Saxe of Waterbury, patriotic instructar. of the. work among the schools; J. Douglass of Forestville, chief muster- ing officer: Emerson Parker of Hart- ford, judge advocate, and Dr. C. Raw- lings of New Haven, medical director. Fell Among Thieves. H. C.

John Slogger, 25 years of age, was arrested on Thursday afternoon by Policemen Smith and Perry and was lodged in a cell at police headquarters on the charge of stealing brass and copper_from the plant of the United Metal Mfg, Co. Chief Linton was no- tifed on Wednesday that junk was belng stolen from the company's plant the arrest grew out of an investiga- tion made by the police. At Slogger's hcme at No. 118 Thames street there was found about 500 pounds of junk which the United Metal Mfg. company had purchased to melt over, and at a local junk shop a 4 foot length of 4 inch brass piping and a 2 foot cop- per roll were found, these also being the property of the metal company. The theft of the latter named articles was made sometime last week, the thief gaining admittance to the plant in spite of the fact that there is a night watchman on duty there, he got through & window. The stolen junk was probably taken away in a boat as the plunder was too heavy for the man to carry. Slogger may be charged with burglary as he broke into the building in order to secure the junk. He is a robust man and has _been at work for ten days at the Rich- mond Radiator plant. He has lived in Norwich two years having previously resided In Cleveland and has a wife and two small children. He had been out of work for several months, until he secured employment with the Ra- dlator company. LIBRARY COMPETITION. Sets of Books to Go to Two Organiza- tions Receiving Largest Popular Vete.

The establishment of a Scandina- vian Customs League is confidently predicted In the Stockholm news- papers as a result of the closer rela- tions between Scandinavian countries which the present war has brought about. “This new pan-Scandinav- ianism™ says one editor, “is based on common economic and imtellectual in- terests, while leaving each partner liberty and pelitical independence.” The newspaper 'Allehanda states that King Haakon of Norway has communicated to the King of Sweden a desire to paw a visit to Stockholm as soon as circumstances permit, and if possible during the present year, Case of Cold Feet.

Coatrol of the pollution of the Streams of the state is declared to be an urgent need in Connecticut by the state board of health in its monthly bulletin issued Thursday. It is admit- ted, the bulletin says, that Connecticut is bebind other progressive states in the matter, and there is a general de- mand that something should be done to prevent turther contamination. It con- tinues: “Giving the state board of health power to require a community to re- move its sewage from a stream it may be polluting is objected to on the ground that such power may be abused, would be arbitrary or radical. Such objecton would apply to any board or commission that has authority for the beileiment of conditions. Objections are also raised by some manufacturers agah st any bill that looks in the di- rectiun of purifying our water courses, based upon their manifest unreadiness to make any change in the disposal of factory wastes. Theso objectors fail to appreciate two facts, first that methods of disposal of wastes without contam- inat ng the streams have been found feas'ble in many places, and second, that it is agreed by all that the time will come in the near future when the public will enforce its demand that Sewuge and factory wastes will not pollute the streams. This demand has arisen practically all over the civilized wo:ld, and it has already brought leg- islaticn in many states in this country and in Europe. “The demand in Connecticut is gTowing each year and legislatfon is inevitable at some time. Bxperience has shown that the longer the delay the more difficult becomes the solu- tion and the more drastic legislation. It would be less difficult and less ex- pensive to prevent further contamina- tion of the rivers, if done at once, than to let the increasing contamina- tion go on a few years, when it would be very difficult and very expensive to bring them back to even the pres- ent condition of purity. The public demand Is increasing and the quicker it is recognized the less will be the trouble laid up for the future, “The purpose of the bill before the legislature will enable cities and man- ufacturers to so plan thelr waste dis- posal that it will not be interfered with by future legislation. It will en- able the state board to assist the com- problem, not to harm them, the same time to prevent further pol- lutlon, and to look toward an improve- ment of present conditions as fast as is feasible. In many states where such health, it has always been found that it is used wisely and there is no rea- son for believing that otherwise in our state.” Incidents in Society Rev. Herbert J.

The primary object of tha conference was to secure an agree- ment on revenue raising measures. As a result of the conference it is be- lieved that about $5,000.000 can be se- cured for highway improvement by enactment of certain proposed laws_ Resolutions calling for the investi- gation will soon be presented and winl go into the sales of coal producers and retailers, which according to reports received here from time to time have been made at prices in excess of what would be justified by the state tax on anthracite. It is also proposed to follow the ex- ample of ew York and impose a tax of $2 a hundred shares on stock trans- actlons. This is expected to producs a revenue of $400,000 a year. Automobile license fees wiil be in- creased to the extent of $800,000 a vear. No Spies at Canal. Since the beginning of the Europea:a .| War there have been a number o spy scares at the Canal Zone which have caused the canal authorities con- siderable annoyance. Only recently a report was circulated that an aero- plane had been seen flying over tha locks and fortifications at Pedro Mi~ guel and Miraflores. All of these reports are instantly investigated both by the military and canal zone police authorities, and thus far have proven without foundation. The “aeroplane” over the locks wan found to have been a fire-balloon which furnished the moving light and a small motor boat in the canal which aided the illusion of an aeroplane en- gine in flight.
