CONSIDERS STATE DEER LAW IS ATROCIOUS. Senator MclLean Asked to Consider Some Thoughts on Its Constitution- ality. The following letter has been sent to Senator MclLean by F. Powers of Westport: . Hen. George P. McLean, United States Senator: Dear Sir:-— ‘ 1 would respectfully ask a moment's consideration to some thoughts re- garding the constitutionality of the prescnt Connecticut deer law. Like every other evil which through human conduct serves to darken a beautiful world, this unrighteous deer XMAS UNDERSKIRTS Splendid assortment of law was born of = selfishness. Here selfishness led to gross misrepresenta- tions and to clamorous demands re- gardless of all other considerations, or of what might be the ultimate resuits. While a goodly number of our senators and a few representatives honestly and strongly opposed the passage of the iniquitous deer bill, a willing, even anxious majority and a complacent governor made it law, and in so doing stultified and disgraced our state. In no other spot on earth, inhabited oy a civilized people, would this atro- cious deer law be permitted to exist. Neither the pregnant doe, the nursing mother, nor the suckling fawn is at any time exempt from the shotgun provisions of.this inhumah act. Can the state lawfully sanction such cruel- ty, that in comparison the customs of a savage tribe would be infinitely more humane? Members of the fish and game com- mittee declared that the deer were rapidly becoming a pest, yet any per- son other than a land owner or a land holder who attempts to kill -one be- comes subject to a fine of $100 or to imprisonment for 60 days, or-to both such fine and imprisonment.

The governor said that the deer were of no particular importance except a delight to the eye, but since that time they have ylelded to the land owners of Connecticut thousands of dollars’ worth of excellent, nutritious food. May not the executive justly modify his views? R Apparently the lawmakers themselves are unable to fully interpret the pro= visions -of . this remarkable act. One says that the farmer may lawfully sell his venison, another holds to the op- posite belief. And now, after nearly four months’ deliberation, the attorney general rules that it is illegal for the farmer to sell his venison, although the law distinctly states that the dead deer becomes his property and says no word about restricting his use of it. It is a pretty poor law that says one thing and means something else. Many of our most estimable citizens would gladly welcome to their tables a little vénison as a luxury, but they are denied this privilege and pleasure, while quantities of it are going to waste and decay, and property owners, or managers remote from the centers | of traffic, erect blinds and lay in am- bush, still intent on ter. 2 Surely these things speak of folly, DANCE GIVEN BY GLASSBLOWERS’ UNION. Local No. 14563 Conducted Successful Social in T. A. B. Hall.

HEARD STIRRING TALKS AT NOONDAY LUNCHEON Eastern Connecticut Development Committee Told of Things Accom- plished. The noonday luncheon at the Wau- regan house on Friday under the auspices of Eastern Connecticut De- velopment committee -had an attend- ance of 65 when the men were seated at 12.30 with President Joseph T. Cruttenden at the center place at the head table. Grace was said by Rev. C. H. Ricketts and during the lun- cheon hour there were piano selections by Fred C. Geer and bariton solos by Arthur Campbell who rendered a number of the popular and up to date songs. « - Welcome by Mayor Murphy. Presidept Cruttenden called “the gathering to order shortly after o'clock and expressed his appreciation of seeing so many business men pres- ent. He introduced Mayor T. C. Mur- phy to speak a word of welcome and the mayor responded in a brief, in- formal way. He spoke of the hard work that business men did on com- mittee work and how much this meant to a town, a thing that the citizens ought to recognize and appreciate. The mayor referred to the fact that 60-per cent. of the money spent for ammu- nition and war suppliés in the United States is spent in Connecticut and the state is sure of good business for years to come. $ New Haven Road Represented. C. A. Call of Boston, who has been appointed as successor to Mr. Seeley as head of the New England Industrial bureau of the New Haven road, was the next speaker. He commended the spirit which he had already séen shown in Norwich and referred to a very ex- cellent bid that the city had made for a large plant, writing a very admir- able letter that set forth the full ad- vantages of the city. Refer to keeping up the indus- trial standing of New England in the United States he said that there were some things we could do, support the farm improvement work that is suming new importance, and always advertise New England, as the best place in the world to spend summer vacations. Mr. Call was applauded for his encouraging sentiments. From Deeper Waterways Convention. Mayor E. B. Rogers of New London Wwas next ed upon to report upon the recent convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association in Sa- vannah. First he referred in admiration to President Cruttenden of the Develof ment committee, saying that he was the one who had replly - started the work going and through his acguaint- injustice and wrong. But when by an edict of the state these creatures, which the Almighty has placed under man’s protection and for his use, are made to fertilize the farmers’ soil,-the law becomes not only an outrage against common decency -and common sense—it is an insult to God Himself.

City.... ance in all parts of the territory was bringing in the cooperation of all. On the point of the convention he mentioned that it has been found in the south that the best means 8 trans- portation is by barges and it is de- sired to send the cotton north in large steam barges and send the barges back loaded with merchandise. In New York already a section of the barge canal has been completed. Secretary Daniels is deeply Interested in this intra-coastal waterways and told them that it gught to be possible to send submarfhes from New London to Florida in the intra-coastal water- ways. With commercial problems and the nayal military problem pushing it, it looks as if the Atlantic Deeper Wa- terways project was in good prospect of being solved. The particular project on which at- tention is. now being concentrated is the Jersey ship canal from Raritan bay near Staten Island to the Delaware river and the Chesapeake and Delaware canal from Baltimore to Delaware bay. Through these a distance of about 100 miles will be shortened to about 14 miles. Mr. Rogers referred to the numer- ous historical points of interest/to be seen about Savannah. He also said that Savannah is the largest port com- mercially in the south but one. Its warehouses are full now with cotton and it is a large shipping port for rice. One pioneer shipping enterprise from Savannah was referred to as the steamer Savannah, which was the first steamer to cross the ocean and was sailed by two New London‘'men, but bought and fitted out for $50,000 by William Scarborough of Savannah. New London's city motto, said Mayor {Rogers, is Mare Liberum,” the open sea, but we never can have the open sea untfl we have the navy, till we hold the place on the sea that England does today. He referredsto the great opportunities for industrial develop- ment along the Thames river -from Norwich to New London, and remark- ed that in New London now therg was no public landing place where a'boat could. receive or deliver a load of goods without paying a fee. He thought both Norwich and New Lon- don ought to have a public landing place and that both cities could work together for Eastern Connecticut de- velopment. When he had concluded he was ask- ed by Presldent Cruttenden about the establishment of a government exper- iment laboratory on Fishers Island, and he told of speaking to Secretary of the Navy Daniels about this. Endorsed State Chamber. A _resolution was passed endorsing the action taken by the state cham- ber of commerce in advising the es- tablishment of this laboratory at Fish- ers Island. Mayor Rogers said that the establishment of the submarine base at the Thames river navy yard made Fishers Island a logical place for the government laboratory. Results of Work Shown. General Secretary Hill of the Y. M, C. A. at the request of President Crut- tenden made a report of what had been very iccessfully accomplished in a class in salesmanship which had an outcome of the lectures given here last year by Mr. Whitehead un- der the auspices of the Eastern Con- necticut Development committee. The association is also conducting a clas: in architectural drawing and is ing its effort to be of service to the men of the city. Rev. C. H. Ricketts was called upon to speak of a work which’ President Cruttenden said was not exactly a development from the| Eastern Con- necticut Development committee, but was a fine service to the men of the community. He referred to the shop meetings at which Rev. Mr. Ricketts had been a pioneer s er. The pastor sald that in these shop meetings they made it clear that there were mutual interests to be solved and that the speakers at the meetings were not there to disturb any man’ church affiliations. It is hard to re- port on results, but it is believed that the indifference that has been shown between workers and the church has been to some extent dome away with. The men in the shop are wrestling with the big problems of the world. They want “live stuff,” which was the commendatory remark that one Rus- slan made, Rev. Mr. Ricketts said, aft- er one of his talks to them. The pas- tor considered that was one of the biggess compliments he had ever re- cefved and he said that these new- comers from the old world are bringing red blood that is needed and will count America. | E.
