Squad Sent to New London to Assist in Preserving Order. ‘With no definite assurances of a set- tlement of the laborers’ strike in New London in sight, Mayor Ermest E. Rogers late Saturday afternoon took added precautfons to place the New London police authorities in a position to cope with any possible disorder that may arise, although the strikers have given their promise that they will not resort to measures of violence, Following _telephone _conversations with Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb and Adjt. Gen. George M. Cole, the chief executive of the commonwealth assured Mayor Rogers that he would issue an order at once for a squad of stat> po- lice to go immediately tq New London and assist.in seeing that order is, pre- served. This action_on the.part of Governor Holcomb was taken primari- ly because of the fact that in calling out the laborers on the state steamship terminal the strikers had trespassed upon the property of the state of Con- necticut. Governor Holcomb also advised Mayor Rogers to arrange with Sheriff Sidney A. Brown to swear in extra deputies for special service at once, and in compliance with the sugges- tion Mayor Rogers communicated with Sheriff Brown, and before the close of the afternoon 12 additional officers were at the service of the city. While not desirous of anticipating . trouble, Mayor Rogers nevertheless is a believer in preparedness and is . taking all necessary steps to maintain the peace and security of the elty. OTIS LIBRARY NOTES. Library ‘Receives Gift of Six Volumes ~—New Books Purchased. George R. Sanders has presented the library, Studies in the Scriptures, a set of six volumes. library has purchased the fol- lowmz bogks: _ Old Marblehead Sea Captains and the Ships in Which They Sailed; Old Boston Museum Days; Master Skylark, by Bennett, also the er Skylark, taken from the Qfilitary Obligation of Citizen- ' SAYS TROLLEY COMPANY " DIDN'T PROVE CLAIMS Senator Hewitt Represents Patrons of G. and S. Road Before cunmm Commission. Senator B. H. Hewitt was in Wash- ington Friday whers he is arguing in the case of the protest against the m- crease introlley. fares on the Groton and Stonington Street railroad \before the Interstate Commierce.commission.: In the. original complaint Nellie M. Edmonds of petitions relief. hecause certain school tickets in use prior to Nov. 22, 1915, have since been taken away from the school teachers and they are com- pelled to pay regular fare. Referring to_the condition of the Norwich and Westerly and the Groton and Stonington, Attorney Hewitt says: “On Page 83 of Mr. Perkins' ' testl mony before the Public Utilitles com- mission he stated that he never heard of any ome Who claimed that tne Norwich and Westerly -was a good business venture. In the present case he testified that it had never been a paying proposition. The Groton and Stonington on the other hand had al- ways been considered d verye good proposition. Its - common stdek has never been gilt edge, for it represents an original investment of only $42 per share and the par value s-100: This was sufficiently attractive, how- ever to induce the present holders to pay $80 per share for it. ~The pre- ferred stock has always pald dividends of six per cent, and one year paid seven nd a half. The interest on this bonds has always been prompily pald. The section through which the Groton and Stoninston. runs is thickly settled and its population has increased about 30 per cent. in a few years. Business concitions have never been as flour- ishing as now.” Attorney Hewitt makes a compari- son of the old rates and the new under the - present copper zone system, showing for some zones an increase as high as over 48 per state rates, which is all that the ¥n- terstate Commerce commission has to do, with. Referring to the new copper zone system, Attorney Hewitt sa; “On the Groton and Stonington no two zones are of the same length but are arranged so that all possible revenue will be yielded thereby. Only Stening- ton has a fare zone in its center. M tic,"the largest commun treatea the worst of all the zones range from a | third of a mile to a mile and a haif in length. The patrons of the road sincerely trust that the old system ot shall be ordered back Into effect; but if they are to be subjected to this experithent, they certainly ask that the zones may be arranged and made of \equal length. No attempt was madb by Mr. Perkins to justify this inequality and difference in the length of the zones, except to say that the longest zones are at the terminals where the traffic Is heaviest and in the middle, where the lightest. But this statement is very Inaccurate as will be seen by the defendant’s exhibit No. 1 ana the cross examination of Mr. Perkins, Many patrons of the road have be- come so disguested with this new s tem that they haye-ceased to ride and for this reason it is seriously ques tioned if the road will obtain any more gross revenue by 'the change. .No railroad and especially no i elec- tric railroad can afford to incur the ill will of the public and the inevitable result of euch a condition is being observed right now along the line of the Groton and Stonington. The new system is extremely unpopular. This feeling wag greatly increased by the stealthv manner in which it was put | in’ force. STRIKER WHO HAD KNIFE IS LIBERATED. Case of Young Italian Is Continued in New Longon. John Castagna, the Ttalian boy ar- rested Friday in New London for car- rying concealed weapons, was ar- raigned Saturday in the police comrt of that city.. The case was continued and Castagna was allowed to go with- out bond after Judge Coit had warned him that he must not carry a gun, knife or any.other. dangerous weapon. The outcome of the case was await- ed with congiderable interest by both partles to the strike controversy, as Castagna _is one of ‘the striking shov- elers. None of the strikers were in the courtroom, but they were great- ly interested in the action of the court. The boy sald that he had been working" for H. R. Douglas, Inc., and thet Monday morning on. his way to work he was accosted by a group -of strikers and fold that if he went to work he would be killed. He said he wanted to work, but was afraid to in the fear of these threats. ent. on_inter- | Castagna said he took the knife and belted it around him for protection. He’said re went up to a farm on the Norwich trolley line _early Friday morning to_get some dandelions and was on his way home by trolley when Officer Gaffney arrested him. Sheds:Burn on Benham Farm.
