A treat for those who enjoyed good singing was “furnished by ~ Miss' Jeanie Fletcher, the Scottish nightingale, whose sweet voice -was heard in songs of her own land and: other charming selections. Something in the line of musical nov- elty was furnished by Leonel who used effectively the piano and the accordion, besides his own voice, in numbers that ran from the classical to the" topical popular kind. At the head of the show in the pic- tures was'The Sable Lorcha, a five- part film that was full of thriiling and complicated situations that are finely acted with Tully Marshall in the lead- ing .role.

CORNELIUS TERRY The opinion from -town counsel, Henry H. Pettis as to what the town's in relation to medical inspee- in the schools which he was asked to furnish them by the town school committee was handed to Sec- retary Herbert M. Lerou of the com- mittge by Attorney Pettis on Monday. At oy Pettis gives it as his opinion that the duties referred to in the act providing for medical inspec- tion in the schools can be. transferréd to the town health officer, but that such a disposition of the case could not be made by the town school com- mittee but only by a regularly called town meeting. b Now. that the .opinion has been re- ceived a meeting of the town ‘school committee is to be held in a few days to consider and take action on the re- port that he hes made. “Town Ccounsel Pettis gave ~ his ion follows: . e S + Jan. 17, 1916. Herbert M. Lerou, Esq, Secretary Town School Committee, Norwich, Connecticut. My Dear Mr. Lerou: TIn response to the request of your committee, through vour chairman, Mr. Murphy, for my opinion as to how the medical inspec- tion of school children, provided for by Sec. 275 of the Public Acts of 1915, could be transferred to the health of- ficer; I would say that my opinion is as follows: This act has to be taken in cdnnec- tion with Chapter 207 of the Public Acts of 1907, to which it refers and action if it were:called. As to the health officer to whom these duties could be transfe th . officer is that he would have authority to carry out the medical inspection provided for in all schools of the town. for facilities provided the in- spection and to instruct the teachers to_cooperate with him as necessary. Trusting that this will answer your Inquiry, T am Your very respectfuily, HENRY H. PETTIS. Thompson, is employed under the fee system and it is believed that if he were given the duties of inspection in relation to the schools proper appro- meet the necessary exenses connected there with.

A Pawtucket dispatch on Monday said: A 5 per cent. wage increase for 2,500 operatives was announced today by the United States Finishing Co. ef- fective Jan. 24 at its Providence, Nor- wich and Sterling branches. An official of the local branch of the United States Finishing company said Monday evening that the advance of about 5 per cent. had been operative Bere since about the time of the an- nual meeting of the company here in October when there was some .labor trouble at the local plant. . There are about 750 employes af- wected by the raise at the Norwich plant. COLONIAL CLUB SOCIAL Whist Was Playe: Match Was and Pool Feature. Nearly fifty members of the Colonial Clbb were present at the social in the club house on West Main street on Monday evening. The oyster crowder Was pronounced one of the best yet. One_of _the. features of the evening was the pool match between Eimer R. Pierson and, Charles Lamb, ‘resulting n: 8 ‘wictory . e former by the.sco) 5. In the whist tournament Georze H. Amburn, with a score of 48, came in for first place on the red markers and Amos Swan, with a score of 45, took first place on the white markers. Vo- cal and instrumental selections were greatly enjoyed. The committee in charge of the evening comprised Will- iam C. Amburn, Frank D. Davis and Thomas H. Beckley. AT THE AUDITORIUM Vaudeville and Moving Pictures ‘Wizner's trained animal act was the big drawing card at the Auditorium theatre on Monday. The dogs could do everything but talk while the mon- keys had: a -show = all their own. Counting seemed to be the delight of one of the handsome dogs, for it add- ed at will Tows of figures, called out by those in the audience and marked on a slate by the trainer as they were called out. Not only could the animal add the rows up and down but also astonished the audience by taking them crosswise and announcing the results by short quick barks. The monkeys were of all sizes and the larg- est gave an excellent imitation of Charlie Chaplin, the popular comedi- ] Friday evening. an.. .The other two vaudevillée num- bers were a character singing act by Gladioli' and a monologue by Joe Burns. The four reel feature Paramount picture was Esmeralda, - with pretty Mary Pickford in the leading role and the Universal comedy was Almost A Knockout, featuring Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. Disputes Church Clerk’s Statement. Rev. J. H. Dennis presented the fol- lowing communication at The Bulletin office on Monday evening: ‘With reference to the statement of Mrs. Drury, the Mount Calvary church clerk, it ie both incorrect and mis- leading. In the first place, all docu- ments and papers coming before the body are to be read by the church clerk, a record kept of the same, and produced when called for. In this respect she was not even clerk of the meeting. The papers were not read by her, and neither the assistant church clerk, nor were those documents or papers even put in her possession, Wwhich after being read before the body becomes the property of the 'church. These papers were carried away by those who brought them. Therefore, if she took any minutes it had no real connection with the meeting. Those would have been precious documents in the possession of the church, or in the hands of the pastor. I defy anyone to dispute these facts. I still stand in the light of reason and contending for truth. (Signed) REV. J. H. DENNIS. Deni Pastor Looked Over Book. Mrs. A. F. Drury, clerk of Mount Calvary Baptist church, takes excep- tion to at least one of the assertions of Rev. John' H. Dennis, the pastor of the church, in the statement which he made on Sunday evening concerning the meeting held in the church last In his statement Pas- tor Dennis said: “The figures given out | by- the clerk were simply suggestions. She kept no minutes of anything that happened—I investigated her books be- fore she léft” ‘Therefore the statement was a falsehood. i ai rs.

The com- pleted building will have four stores on the ground floor. The plans were drawn by Architect C. H. Preston. C. C. Treat, the druggist is to move from his present location at the corner of Franklin and Willow streets into one of the stores. WORKING TO CUT FREIGHT TIE-UP “(Continued from Page Five) unicad. There is in ‘many ~citles ‘an insufficiency of trucks to handle the present volume of material and when this was intensified by illness on the part of auto truck drivers and team- sters ‘more trouble came. And finally, as General - Manager #Bardo say: ‘New England is_only one huge terminal, anyway. We've 8ot to get the cars in here and get them out again. 'We aren't like the lucky roads which simply pass a car- back and forth over their own lines to the other fellow's.” Has 51,000 Cars on Tracks. There are 51,000 freight cars on the tracks of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad system today. That is 10,000 more than were on the tracks a year ago today and . 20,000 more than two vears ago today. The December wnow storm and this great increase of freight business has taxed the road to its utmost. Following the storm, freight poured into the yards of the road near New York from west- ern points faster than it could be got- ten out. The Maybrook yard of the Central New England railway was jammed with 5,000 cars, and there were-the worst weather conditions im- aginable in which to move them. Freight that could not be got through the Harlem river yard was sent north up the Hudson valley and commenced to come to the New Haven lines from the northern gateways. Seeing an avalanche of freight cars approaching and with its own freight terminals and distributing points fill- ed at Harlem river, Danbury, May- brook,” Poughkeepsie, Hopewell and some. other points, the railroad com- pany, on‘December 27, issued the first embargo, stating that on account of storm accumulations no carloads and less than carloads of freight from points west of the Hudson river and north of the international boundary line would be accepted from other roads for points in New England, with the exception of a very few cities. Hartford was one of the cities except- ed. The order excepted livestock and perishable freight, ¥ Passenger Trains Diverted. In moving the unusual amount. of freight the railroad company found that the trains which every little while had to get out of the way ‘of passenger trains were making rather slow progress so the routes of three passenger trains were diverted from the Shore Line, which is best adapt- ed to the movement of eastbound freight on account of its low _grades. The_postal express from Boston to New. York was taken from the Shore Lipe and sent through Willimantic, Hartford and Waterbury. An Adams express train was also in the same way and the State of Maine ex- press which had been doming down through Worcester and Norwich to New London and then over the Shore Line into New York was diverted from its route at Putnam and sent over the Midland division through Willimantic m&?

Road in a Crisis. acterized the situation as the great- est crisis the road has ever had to face. “It came while other roads were congested,” he detlared, “but we are doing all in our power to clear it up. With cooperation on the part of the manufacturers we can clear it up in two weeks, provided we have good weather; but if not, then it will be next May before we are out of it. As to a recurrence, we are fighting against any. such possible contingency. We haye bought up all the available land between Waterbury and Danbury along the tracks, to lay more tracks, and we have four tracks now between West- port and Saybrook and are adding to the tracks between the water sidings a;lld lt‘li:ebNew Lt;rndonhy-.rds. Factories shoul e careful when the embar; is lifted. i Every car on a siding now inter- feres with some train. The cars should be kept moving. “As for the coal situation, we .are off as are the manufac- turers. Half the freight coming through our western gates now is coal. President ~ Elliott announced, today, that he had purchased six- ty-eight water carriers to handle coal for tife road.service.” General Manager Bardo said: “The New Haven road has its physical limitations, and people should remember this. They can- not be taxed too much without de- creasing their efficiency. This manufacturers of the state can help 2 lot by ordering all their business as far forward as possible. The other railroads of the country have helped us even more than could be expected, and at a loss to them- selviam S’gheONew Haven paying $10,000 a day for equipm that. has been doing them no”lo,e‘z because of the tie-up. If we are lueky with the weather man, we will be out of this in two weeks, if not, it will be the end of May be- fore we are back to normal. There are no boats at the terminals to take the freight.” Sidings and Yards Choked. With its yards and sidings choked with freight cars, the New Haven road, embargo and all, finds it al- most impossible to handle the tre- mendous traffic which is pouring into New England. If New England industries, particu- larly Connecticut industries, cannot secure raw material and -their other necessary supplies, and cannot ship their manufactured product out, there will be very genuine annoy- ancg and distress. Utilities Comm The public utilities commission is in comunication with Chairman Blliott of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad company, on the matter of the freight conges- tion. Some time ago the commission Sent a letter to Chairman Elliott in which Mr. Elliott's attention was called to the inconvenience which the business interests of the state suffered by reason of the delay in the delivery of freight. The letter re- minded the chairman that it was more important to - the people of the state that the necessities of life should be delivered than that war munitions should be sent to belig- erents in Eurcpe. In reply Chairman Ellott said his company was fully conscious of the delay. in the moving of freight and realized the necessity of doing every- thing possible to remedy the trouble. It later occurted to the commission that -the sitvation could be improvea somewhat if the Pullman parlor cars were taken off. The commission wrote to that effect to the company and pointed out that Pullman cars were much heavier than ordinary cars and persons who had made a practice of using them would not be subjected to serious inconvenience if obliged to put up with the accommo- dation of an ordinary passenger car. Shortly afterwards the Fedeéral Ex- press, made up of Pullman cars, was taken off and by its discontinuance three additional- locomotives were at the disposal of the company for freight service. One of the difficulties which the railroad company has had to contend with is that of obtaining help to man freight trains, In many places the company has hired men and the manufacturers have hired them over the company’s heads by offering them higher wages than the company could afford to pay.

She was walking along the road where it bends around Echo Lake and five or ten minutes later sl_:e saw a ‘little dark complexioned man” com- ing toward ber.
