THIRD APPEARANCE EARNS JAIL SENTENCE Gustave Johnson Will Be in Retire- ment for 30 Days and More. Gustave Johnson was before the bar of the city court on Tuesday morn- ing, charged with intoxication, his third appearance there inside of a month. This time Judge H. H. Pe tis sent him to jall for 30 days and ordered him to pay costs of $10.47, P. Cox, who was arrested by Con- stable Myer Blumenthal on a breach of the peace charge and who secured his liberty on a bond, did not appear in court for trial and the case went over. James Sharvin, who was arrested in connection with the same matter, had his case go over to August 11th. Tuesday afternoon Constagle Blu- menthal and the West Side merchant who gave a bond for Cox were in ‘Willimantic looking for him as they heard he had been seen there. Probably No Beach Day. It is not probable that there will be & Beach day at Ocean Beach this year. The residents at the-beach seem to be all of the mind that such an event en- tails much work for the cottagers, ‘while the visitors at the beach derive all the benefits. However, it is_the opinion.of many that the city of New London should hold a carnival at the beach. Former Beach days were a great boom for the beach and brought to it many out of town people. The beach is beginning to present a normal sight once more after the ravages of the big storm last week. The launch Ingomar was floated Sun- day, and the other boats that were cast upon the shore will be soon put into the water again. The Neptune Park raft was put overboard by the Ecott“mmy,mbut the casino raft still lies upon the beach in rather a dilapidated condition.

Ely of Haddam | * a Makes Claim for:Loss of Eye. Two hearings before Compensation Commissioner Dr. J. J. Dondnue occu- pled a large part of the day on Tues- day, the first in the claim of Mrs. Charles J. McKay against the Metro- politan Life Insurance company, on account of the death of her h: Wwho was an employe of the company, and the second in the case of Theodore N. Ely of Had who was in the employ of M. 5. Brooks & Sons of Chester when he was injured. In the McKay case the hearing was called for the purpose of determining whether the death of Mr. McKay was caused while engaged in duties in and out of his employment as collector and solicitor for the Metropolitan Life In- surance company, by Whom he had been employed for 22 years. Mrs. , who was present at the hearing, was represented by At- torney J. J. Desmond, and the insur- ance company was represented by At- torney Edwin W. Higgins. The accident which resulted fatally to Mr. McKay occurred at 7.30 on the evéning of Wednesday, June 2, when he was struck on Burnham square by an automobile driven by Willlam H. Buckley, superintendent of the Baltic mill. His skull was fractured and his death occurred nine days later at the hospital. Four witnesses were presene afy the hearing. including George T. Higgins, local superintendent for the insurance company. Superintendent Higgins _testified to the fact that Mr. McKay had been in the employment of the company 22 years and that he knew not whether there was an agreement in written form between employe and employer. He explained that it was the duty of the collector and solicitor to make a deposit of his collections of Monday on the following morning at § o'clock and that on Thursday a full settlement was demanded, with an itemized re- port of amounts collected and from whom collections had been made. As other_report of collections was made on Saturday morning, there being three deposits of money made each week. There were two kinds of busi- ness, regular business, which was termed as industrial business, and special business which was not of the industrial nature, and provided for quarterly, semi-monthly 'and annual payments. From the facts brought out in the testimony Attorney Desmond attempt- ed to substantiate his claim that the tatal accident happened while Mr. Me- Kay was in the regular course of his employment. l Much of the testimony related to the jurisdiction allotted the deceased in Which to do business. Superintendent Higgins said that the terri Higgins wich and assumed the dutiés of uper- intendent Mr. M covered a larger territory than at the time of M:m as Superintendent ‘had his tarritorial limita. & collector was supposed to make collections in his allotted territory, it became the duty of & collector to get into another territory until the in- sured’s name was transferred into the territory of the second collector, One of the points brought out in the cross examination was that Mr. McKay t‘:arrled“v:u of m';::u-ur- l'pn‘ll-; orms of insurance netted him a week In case o(‘rh.l disability, the company bearing 50 per cemt. The hearing was n at 10 in the morning and was concluded about in the afternoon. Commissioner Donohue reserved his decision " Briefs in Ely Case. The same point as to accident dur- ing employment was to be determined in the hearing on the claim of Theo- dore N. Ely of Haddam against M. S. Brooks & Sone of Chester, Which was held in the afternoon. Roilin_U. Tyler of Deep River was counsel for the plaintiff at the hearing and Attorney Edward C. Stone of Bos- ton ap for the com; y-that in- sured Brooks & Sons. Mr. Stone was the attorney who argued the famous McNicol case before the supreme court in Massachusetts, where the verdict was feund against the employer be- cause of the fact that he employed the person who caused the death of the claimant and knew of the fact that he drank excessively at times and acted badly. In the case that was heard Tuesdsy it was shown that Mr. Ely was em- loyed at about $1.76 day on a icker machine in the factory of the company where wire novelties were manufactured. On the 2a of March he was struck in the left eye by 4 plece of xing thrown by another employe. The ring struck a belt and flew from that into Mr. Ely’s eve. At first little attention was paid to the accident, but when the eve to bother him he went to & doctor, but he continued at work until May 1st, when he was forced to stop work because of the condition of his eve. After that he was compelled to g0 to, a hospital in Hartford, where the eye was removed. After the hearing the attorneys in the case were given two weeks in which to submit briefs. e T R e e L i L et Y. M. C. A.

A clipping from a Bridgeport pa- per concerning the neglect of em- ployers to fill out blanks saying whether or not they accepted the act as amended and the annoyance which resulted thereby to the commission- er, was shown to Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler of the First district Tuesday at Hartford and he did not think the situation had more than an academic interest. “As 1 understand it” he sald, ‘many employers of less than five have insured under the old act. When the last legislature amended the act, these employers were auto- matically taken out from under the compensation act. But section 2 of part B of the amended act contains provisions _whereby an employer of less than five persons may come un- der the act by taking out insurance, notifying the commissioner and also notifying his employes. “Now the question is, what would happen if such an employer who had paid his premium in his policy under the old act should have onme of his men injured and the injured man sould try to collect compensation from te insurance company through the employer? Suppose neither the employer nor the insurance company ha taken any action to notify the com- missioner or the employees of the em- ployer's acceptance of the new act. Technically such an employer, al- though insured, would not be under the new act. Would the injured em- ploye fail to get his compensation be- cause of this technicality? It is difficult for me to concelve that any insurance company which had accepted premium paid in good faith b yan employer would take ad- vantage of a_ technicality of this kind, during the period of transition from the original act to the amended act “As a matter of fact some insur- ce companies are following these cases up closely and I am receiving a numbes of notices of the accept- ance of the new act from empioyers of less than five persons. Other com. panies seem more dilatory. It really is the business of the agent of the insurance company to attend to this clerical work, although the act im- poses the duty upon the employer. “My practical suggestion to the employers who are thus insured is that they at once notify the insur- ance companies that they want the legal technicalities concerning the filing of blanks attended to properly and that the insurance companies use all possible expedition in getting the proper blanks in the hands of the in- sured.” Commissioner Chandler was asked what motive employers of less than ve might have for insuring under the new act. “Well,” said the commissioner, "I am retaining my ' insurance partly from motives of humanity; partly from motives of enlightened self- interest. There is satisfaction in knowing that if any employe gets hurt, he will draw compensation and "doctor's bills from an insurance company. Moreover, there always has been some liability resting upon an employer, even before any compen- sation act was passed. This is taken care of by the insurance policy. More- over, by policy, and I think practically all similar policies contain & clause protecting the employer from public liability because of injuries sustained by_delivery men or others. Moreover in the case of farmers and many other persons whose usual number of employes is less than five. there may come at certain seasons of the year a rush period in which the employer finds himself employing five or more persons. An accident, oc- curring at that time might be = the source” of much trouble and expense to the employer. The premium of these policies is relatively small and my observation is that a very consid- erable number of employers of less than five persons are going to insure and continue under the act.” The commissioner said that no such case in which the insurance companies had taken advantage of this technicality, have been contested before him, but he was under the im- pression that various insurance BOSWORTH CANNOT PLAY N ROQUE TOURNEY Former Champion Too Clossly Con- tourna- ment, which in this next opens city is now in the Grotom e i HAROLD BOSWORTH and would be unable to give the time pecessamy to compete as the majority of the matches are played in the day time. He will come here during the tournament and possibly play in a few evening matches, but not in competi- tion for the championship. He held the championship in 1906, 1907 and 1910 and was considered one of the most talented players ever hold- ing the honor. Eddie Clark of Spring- field, Mass, is the present champion. A big field 1s expected for this tour- nament. The Norwich courts are in good shape and there are fine lighting facilities. Some matches may be play- ed almost as well at night as in the daytime. New Comer From Chicopee Falls. Secretary Arthur L. Peale has re- ceived word from George Huot of Chicopee Falls, Mass., that he is com- ing and asking thaf reservations be made for him. He is a new player and his city is a new city to enter the list of roque centers that have been repre sented at the national tournament. His Pprowess is an unknown quantity, John N. Taylor of Newark. N. J., at Chautauqua, N. Y. for the summer, has sent to Secretary Peale a check for two dollars as the dues of the Chau- tauqua Roque club to the National association, and in the same letter arranged to pay his usual personal contribution of $5 toward the expenses of the association. OMr. Taylor has rarely gotten.over to Norwich in re- cent years, but he still retains his old interest in the game and the national tional tournament. Veteran Jacobus Sends Regrets, Charles Jacobus, the veteran player Wwho used to come down every year with unfailing regularity from Spring- fleld, is now out in Wisconsin and has written an open letter saying that he Tl not be able to get here this year.

Believes He Drove Off and Left It in Gutter on West Main Street. While in this city on an automobile trip Sunday, B. Yokel of the circula- tion department of the New York American lost a handsome black wal- rus traveling bag which was of con- siderable value intrinsically and of added value to Mr. Yokel because of its association, as it was presented to him by his associates in his employment. Its_trimmings were all of gold. While the automobile was stopped in West Main street he believes he set the bag in the gutter while the automoblle party went into a garage. They had driven on some distance to New London before the loss of the bag was discovered, and they returned at once to this city, where they sought help from the police, but the bag could not be found. It is considered a possibility that the bag may have been placed on the run- ning board of the machine and lost from that somewhere along the route. HENRY COON HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT Found Against Him When Henry Coon of Ledyara was presented at § o'clock Tuesday morn- ing before Justice of the Peace George Montgomery in Ledyard on the charge of theft from the home of the late Ed- ward Eyanklin Yerrington, four wit- nessey were presented for the state, but Attorney Allyn L. Brown presented no witnesses for the defendant. At- torngy H. H. Pettls prosecuted the casé for the state. Probable cause was found and Coon was bound over for trial before the superidr court. The bonds were placed at $60). While effort to secure bonds was made Coon was brought to. the jail here by Deputy Sheriff George H. Stanton, who arrested him on_Mcnday.

New England has booked about one- third of the war orders sent to_the United_States by the allies. the New York Sun estimatbs, and Connecticut industries are benefitting largely by the contracts. It say: “Bridgeport, with a population of 105,000, has war orders said to amount to & total of something like $200,000, 000, and the Remington Arms and Ammunition company’s plant alon around which the labor trouble cen. tered, has business on hand figured at <close to $100,000,000. These orders call for some 3,000,000 rifies, and the car- tridge concern it controls is understood to be working on conti for about $40,000,000 worth of ammunition, This would bring the total war business of the Remnigton interests up to some- thing like $130,000,000. ing all of Connecticut, _the state’s total of war business has been placed at $300,000,000. At Hartford the Col Arms company is working on_$10,000,000 worth of machine guns. “At New Haven the Winchester Arms company is credited with having orders for about $50,000,000 worth of rifies s weil as shrapnei anr machine guns. The Hopking & Allen company, located at Norwich, has its hands full with_contracts for 400,000 rifies call- ing for $10,800,000. At New London there is the New London Ship and En- gine company’s plant with its books full of orders, and there are other ma- rine concerns actively engaged in sup- plying campaign needs. “Automobile and motor concerns are also reaping harvests, and what is one of the most interesting developments, as showing how oddly the war has been a general booster, is found in the sctivity of n Cennectiout plaso tes. tory Wl for _ years, count every day as Sunday. At the mo- ment it is making shoulder plates for the rifie butts turned out by one of the gun plants. And some of the type- ‘writer factories, to connect up another ordinarily peaceful industry, are mow making time fuses for shrapnel, as they have found their machinery eas- ily adaptable to that sort of work. “As a whole, the war business of the entire New England section prob- ably runs up to $500,000,000. This is an estimate as are all the figures giv- en, as for obvious reasons the cor- porations involved do not care to di- Vulge the details of the contracts they have assumed. ‘Massachusetts has numerous cot- ton mills at Fall River that are keéep- ing their spindles humming to spin fibre into bandages for the wounded and the plans of the American 'Wool- en company in the vicinity of Boston are said to be weaving $8,000,000 ‘worth of blankets and woolen cloth. “A large motorcycle factory in Massachusetts is supplying the Dbel- ligerents with substitutes for the flery, foam-flecked steeds of the aides de camps of former days. The makers of tires and rubber footgear are also reaping profits by courtesy of Mars. Vermont has explosive mills turning out powder and guncotton as rapidly as the clock will permit. “To New England this sum of in- dustry means all that nourishment means to a man wbo has been living on promises.
