C. ‘A number of special committees for various purposes were authorized at the Cincinnati convention last year One of these, to provide rules to gov- ern & standard test for theatrical sce- nery, was the outcome of a paper pre- sented by Cnief Henry C. Bunker of the Cincinnati fire department on test- ing theatrical scenery. The other two were predicated on the discussion of compulsory sprink- ling in its relation to the conflagration hazard in cities. One of these two is a committee to investigate ways and means whereby automatic sprinkler systems may be used to heslnadv?in. tage Dy fire departments as fire_de: fense auxiliaries. Chief Howardd L.

The same general orders call atten- tion to the approacH of Memorial day With a call for its general observance, and concerning Flag day Department Commander Seeley say: “June 14 is the anniversary of the adoption” by congress of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the nation—and is designated as Flag day.

Board of Pardons Have 36 Cases Thirty-six _applications for release from state prison have been made to the Connecticut board of pardons which meets at the prison at Wethersfleld the second Monday in June. Included is the fifth application of Oscar Graves, 68 years old, who was sentenced for life in 1873 for the murder of the station agent in Burnside, East Hartford. Graves' companion in the crime, John Dynes, was liberated from prison the past vear. Graves has become an artistic decorator during his long con- finement. Addle Burns of Norwich, who was sentenced Jan, 28, 1909, from 12 to 20 years, applies again for release, say- ing her sentence is excessive. Manuel Sylvia has served 10 years of a life sentence for a New London kill- ing. It is his third application. Santi Nigrelli wants release in order that he may support his wife and six children in Italy. He was sentenced in New London in 1913, one to . seven vears. For an offense committed in Norwich in 1914 Frank Falcone, serving from 18 to 25 vears, says he is innocent. Mike Dimaria, alias, Michael Angelo Mignoni, has served three years of a five to ten years' sentence for assault with intent to murder in South Lyme. He says his father is dead and his mother needs his support. Joseph Savino, serving from four to five years for assault to kjll in Groton, has been in-prison a little over a year ana claims he is innocent.

Abraham Speckler attempted theft from person in New London in 1916; one to one and one-half years; inno- cent. Louis Sternlieb, conspiracy in Nor- wich in 1915, three to five years. That his sentence of one to four years for theft from person in Nor- Wich in 1914 was excessive and that his_family needs his support is the claim of Joseph Duprey. After serving 31 years of imprison- ment for murder, second degree, in: New London in 885, John P.
