S JOHN ELLIOTT BURIED Perpetrator of Double Murder Has No Funeral Service Beyond Prayer Read by Church Official. Deserted by all mankind excepting the persons charged with the duty Of. giving him back to earth, the funeral of John Tl tis and a» s held from the roor-- =~~~ N, Wal- - at North Grosvenordale Wednes- day afte: In the ab: @ clergyman, a member of the i1 board of a chiurch in the town of Thompson, read a prayer which constituted the funeral sérvice. Not a person was present ex- cepting the reader of the prayer, the undertaker and his assistant. The body was conveyed to the Fast Putnam cemetery, where Mr. Walker and his assistant, aided by the sexton, lowered the plain unadorned into a grave beside that of Eiliott’s mdther. Notwithstanding the atrociousness of Elliott’s crime and the end to which he came after suffering great physical pain from the wound he inflicted upon Himself, there was something pa- thetic in the sight of his coffin being borne away with no others present ex- cepting those necessary to see that he was given decent burial. “I am sick of life,” was one of the last statements that Elliott made at the Cunningham place hefore leaving to commit a crime that shocked the county: and in ending it he bore out the prophecy made by Miss Ann Cun- ningham, after the crime and before h'f, capture, that he would kill him- self. FIFTEEN NEW CITIZENS Made at Superior Court Session Be- fore Judge Gager—Four Applicants Rejected. Judge Gager presided here Wednes- day morning at a session of the su- perior court held to admit applicants to citizenship. Of those who came to swear allegiance to foreign powers and accept American citizenship and its ‘many blessings the great majority were atcepted. Those who failed to measure up to the requirements will have later opportunities to become citizens. It was significant that the subjects of the Central empires were asked if, in case of war between this country and ijther Germany and Austria, they would fight for this country or for the country of which they have been sub- Jjehts. The invariable answer was that S e Danielson bank and that he had done so without authority from the select- men, as it was afterwards decided he must have authority. There was no loss of money in the transaction, but it did practically strip the town treas- ury of money needed to meet current expense accounts. Following the argnment of a demur- Ter in the case, which was proceeding toward a trial in the superior court, the court’s decision was Iin favor of the|eciati town. In instituting the case 'an at- tachment was placed on Mr. Bast- ment’s farm. Although Mr. BEastment some. time since resigned as treasurer, the attachment has never been release: For some time past Mr. Eastment has had an_opportunity | dire to sell his farm. This fact became known to the selectmen of Brooklyn and not being at all anxious to embar- _| rass Mr. Bastment in his chance to sell his property, they readily asreed to the withdrawal of the suit and the re- llgue of the attachment automatically There was to have been town meeting of the <itizens of Brook- Sa pass on the er town | Christ and spectal | Ny they would remain loyal to the United tates.

HAS 226 MEMBERS ~ Chamber of Commerce to Start Cam- | paign to Add to- This List—The | Year’s Achievements. i i | The ‘Aannual meeting of the Chamber | of Commerce will be held Thursday evening, May 18, followed by a mem- | bership campaign, ending with a ban- | quet. This was determined at a meet- | ing of the directors held at the rooms Monday evening. Plans were made to present to the annual meeting a re- port of the vear's work, which has been most successful; to provide the organization with a revised set of by- laws; and to put the chamber in shape | to do even better work for the fu-! ture. ! Notices will go out this week to all members, giving the particulars. - The directors- have madé it their busines: the past few weeks to study .the or- ganization and methods of other suc- cessful civic bodies. They have had visits from Prof. Alfred L. Smith, di rector of the Tuck School of Admin- | istration and Finance of Dartmouth College; John.C. Orcutt of the Boston Chamber of Commerce: 4nd A. H. An- drews of the New Britain Chamber of Chamber of Commerce of the United Chamber of ommerce of the United States of America, and with commer- cial secretaries, has given them the benefit of the best experience of the country. L On the basis of this information, they have prepared by-laws that ton- form to the principles of the model set forth by the national organization of commercial executives; modified to meet Putnam conditions. The past two years, when the local body was getting on its feet, little attention was paid to matters of form; and the old by-laws were made to do duty. It is felt that the time has come to have a code that will be adequate to grow- ing needs. Mues will be arranged to give sufficient income, but at a rate that will allow any man who is inter- ested to afford membership. There are now 226 members, and the dirctors believe that there are scores of men left out who are equally in- terested and equally good material. A campaign to enlist their support will be energetically made. It has been determined not to pay outside organizers to secure them, as such an expense can be avoided, and the di- Tectors mean to save the members’ money in every possible way. The dinner is planned in response to a demapd on the part of some mem- bers, and in the belief that it will be popular. Those who attend will pay for their meal, as it is not good prac- tice to use treasury funds for this purpose. In a year the membership has been more than doubled, and the income quadrupled. An office has been open- ed and maintained, and geod business methods adopted. ng the accomplishments have been the following: Leading the cam- paign for a trade school bullding; launching the building and loan asso- atio el ating unprofitable ad- Vvertising; managing two bargain days; securing the TEclipse Manufacturing company: managing the community 'mas tree; giving free lectures; and furnishing a meeting place for meetings such as building and loan ctors, playground committee, town bonding committee, Scout officials, trade school building committee, and for the U.
