Judge Milton A. Shumway of the su- perior court on Wednesday signed an order releasing the Putnam Savings bank from all of the restrictions in do- ing business imposed upon the insti- tution, December 29, 1914, by the bank commissioners, who took the action e cause of the depreciated value at that time of some of the bond holdings of the institution. Wednesday’s acti.n was forecasted a few days ago follow - ing the visit here of Hon. Everett J. Sturgess, bank commissioner, and s the best’ possible proof of the present strength and security of the institu- tion. The order was presented to Judge Shumway for signature by Attorney John F. Carpenter, counsel for the bank. The release was a_source of satis- faction to the bank officials and it will be fully as much so to the approxi- mately 7,000 depositors of the bank. Since December 29, 1914, restrictions have been removed from time to tims, giving the bank more and more lnti- tude in the exclusive management and direction of its affairs, and it has been consistently proven that the confidence shown was well merited. Since April 15 of this year the only restriction in force that was of im- portance was that the bank might pay only 10 per cent. of his account to any depositor, this being merely as a protective measure, for the bank w: in a position to pay 100 per cent. Now that restriction is also remaved bring- ing the bank all the freedom of actfon aliowed to any savings bank in the state. The depositors at the bank are rising $2,666,000.

POLICE CAPTAIN RYAN WAITING FOR COMPLAINTS If Any Citizen Comes to Him With Protests Against Sunday Ball Game, He Will Do His Duty. It was announced here Wednesday that the Slaters of Webster will oppose Putnam in the game scheduled to be to be played on the fair rounds next Sunday afternoon. The Sunday baseball agitation con- tinues to be of greate interest and in connection with phases of it the fol- lowing statement was given out Wed- nesday by Captain Joseph A. Ryan: “I understand that the police have been criticized considerably ‘because they made no arrests last Sunday in connection with the Danielson-Putnam game. “If any person in the city of Putnam had come to me last Sunday afternoon and said that he had seen a game in progress at the falr grounds and that he wished to complain, 1 would in- stantly have gone to the grounds and taken the plavers and the managers and the name of every person present It would have been my duty, and I won't let my personal feelings inter- fere with my duty._ If a complaint had been made to me Sunday, there would have been a busy session of the police court Monday. If a game is played next Sunday, the same thing will hold true. Let there be & complaint and I will act. “There is no need of having the state police mix up in this aftair. I can handle it without any outside assist- ance. It won't take an army of men to stop the game, if the complaint is ragl;tered with me. “You see,” s3id Captain gy;n in discussing another phase of the ques tion of enforcing the Sunday laws. “if some people want the law enforced in one respect, they shoulr be consistent and have them enforced in all re- spects. I feel certain that, if Sunday baseball is stopped, 1 shall receive complaints against open stores and Sunday Chautauqua, which will mean that, as a nofficer of the law, I must close the shups and go to Chautauqua on Sunday, July 30, and summon the speakers, managers and people in at- tndance to the city court, chraged with breaking the law against attending Sunday diversions. “If one thing is stopped, I feel that things will go to extremes. I had this in my mind last Sunday afternoon. I am not letting personal feeling in- terfere with my duties, but I am look- ing farther ahead than many people who are opposing Sunday ball and do not see what will happen in Putnam if the game is stopped. 1 am working for the good of Putnam and shall continue to do so as long as I am cap- tain of police.” A section of the statute referred to by the captain reads: “Every person who shall be present at any concert of music, dancing or any public di- version on Sunday, or evening thereof, except as permitted by this act, shall be fined not more than $4. To Aid Blinded Soldiers. To help those who have been per- manently blinded by war is the object of an organization that ministers es- peclally to the British, French and Belglans, Myron T. Herrick, Otto H. Kahn, Vincent Astor, August Bel- mont and others head the movement in America. The money will be used to Increase the overtaxed facilities of existing institutions , and to provide new centers. The blind suffer a terrible calamity, and the number of permanently blind- ed men produced by the great war has exceeded all precedent. These brave men are helpless and despondent, thous- ands upon thousands of them. Yet the blind can be taught trades and they can be made self supporting and hap- py, if facilities and materials can be provided. Mrs. E. P.

J1. Fuller on & charge of having been concerned in the burglary at Diamond's Stove, in Elm street, about a year ago. ‘While motoring down from Wor- cester with Lieuttena.!;‘t Tltieocdore Downi: of the state police, anc 'ap- tain Joseph A. Ryan, Wednesday morning, Bzczpaniak said that he was drunk and asleep in the round house at the railroad yards here on the night of the break at Diamond's store, and that he was awakened there by Band- low ang Vettor, two men he iccuses of committing the break, ard asked to carry two suit cases containing cloth- ing.
