At Trinity Episcopal church, Rev. J. Eldred Brown' officiated Wednesday morning at the celebration of the holy communion, on' the feast day of St. John the Evangelist. Matters of importance to state fis] eries will be discussed at a special meeting of the state fish- and game commission to be held Friday morn- ing at the capitol. With the opening of the general assembly but a few days away the commissioners have decided to take some action to im- prove the condition of Connecticut fisheries and a bill to be presented to the coming legislature will be per- fected at the special meeting of the board. At the meeting Friday the eommissioners will meet General John W. Atwood of Wauregan, who was ap- pointed on the commission to take the place of Rear Admiral C. F. Goodrich, who " recentiy resigned. General At” wood has not yet attended a meeting of the commission. John M. Crampton, the supe tendent, has stated that the commis- sion intends to present a bill pefore the general assembly relating to fish- eries and that it will be perfected at a special meeting on Friday. “This is an important measure for the state and I cannot tell you the details at present,” said the superin- tendent. “If the details leak out be- fore the special meeting, there will be some trouble.” No Salmon ng Yet. Speaking of salmon, Mr. Crampton said there would be no salmon fish- ing in Connecticut for two years. There are now thousands of salmon growing in the lakes and riyers of the state, and some of them are at least six inches long. In eighteen months salmon reach & weight of about five pounds. Fishing for sal- mon will be restricted in the state for some time. Mr. Crampton has salfl that there would be a gé€nera] movement the nex* few months to protect fisheries and that Connecticut would not be alone in tackling the problem. The super- intendent said that Massachusetts would work with this state to help in protecting the fisheries. Elimination of the dangers to fisheries due to pol- lution will be another matter on which ection will be taken during the com- ing month: FUNERALS, A local weather prophet predicts a severe winter, recalling the old proph- ecy: I Christmas Day on Monday be, A great winter that year you'll see, Full winds, both loud and shrill.

Papers in the. following suits were filed with the clerk of the superior court in this city 'Wednesday: Davis Stephenson Brewing Co., of New York sues Nathan Berkman of, thi scity for $750 on common counts. The same plaintiff sues Frank Ow:- siak of Norwich for $2,500 on com- mon counts. Mrs. Victoria Dobrowsky sues John Dobrow of Groton for $100 for slander. Charles H. Ferguson of Norwich brings . snit - against' Gilbert Hall of Colchesfer for $5000 for injuries to himself and damages to a horse and wagon as the result of being struck by_the defendant’s auto November 4. John Garlington sues the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial society on a note for $700. Harry A. Haynes of this city asks for a divorce from his wife, Lila Haynes, on the grounds od adultery. They were married in 1912. ‘Walter W. Concklin of Quaker Hill asks for $3,000 damages from the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. for injuries received in an automobile ac- cident in Quaker Hill, August 11. Lena Tobias brings suit 2gainst An- na Bolles, et al. on a $1,200 note. Samuel Gold of New London sues Albert Caracus¢ also of New London for $5000 for injuries he received when he was knocked down on Bank strest by the defendant’s automobile. Tempy Johnson of New London sues Daniel S. Marsh, et al. for damages. She was injured when a building on State street, New London, collapsed last June. The cuttin; lown of two valuable evergreen tréés, located mear the Rockwell street entrance of Mohegan park, resulted in the arrest of two small boys living atghe Falls Tuesday evening. The trees were stolen by the boys for Christmas trees. at their homes. Supt. John Duff of the park took much pride in the trees, which were planted eight years ago. One was a golden arbor vitae and the other a Swedish juniper. They had grown to be of good size and were of unusually graceful shape. The former was val- ued at $15 and the other between $10 and $15. Mrs. S. F. Robinson of Platt avenue was the first to discover the vandal- ism. She heard chopping Saturday afternoon and went to Mr. Duff’s home to notify him. The superintendent was in the park at the time and it was not possible to raech him easily, so that he did not know of the theft until he returned in the evening. Superintendent Duff was able to trail the culprits nearly to their homes by the pieces of branches which were left behind as the.trees were dragged along the ground. He followed them down Rockwell street, MvKinley ave- nue to Broad, through Broad to Yantic street and down that street to the Falls company’'s mill, where all traces seemed to' vanish. He notified the police, of the tree chopping exploit and Sergeant Kane was placed on the job. He was successful in ldgating the guilty ones. They proved to be small boys, one of them only 6 years old. The smaller boy provided the axe and the larger one did the cutting. In the city court ‘Wednesday morning Judge Barnes im- pcsed a fine of $7 on the younger lad and $9 on the older. He was lenient ‘with them on account of their tender age, but it is believed that the example will be sufficient to deter persons from further tree cutting in the park. Any more depredations ~ will be treated more severely. SIGNS MUST COM: DOWN BY FRIDAY will Street Commissioner Remove Them at Owner’s Expense. Street Commissioner George B. Fel- lows has given out’ notice that all the owners of overhead sisns who have not secured ‘special permission must take the signs down before Friday. If the signs are not taken down by Fri- day the commissioner will have men take them down at the owner’s ex- pense. Special permits have been granted to owners who have illumi- nated signs. The gtreet department men are still at work on the ledge in the Thames street improvement. 0. E. S, TO MEET IN NEW QUARTERS. Last Meeting of Year Held Last ht —Regular Business Transacted.

Dr. West was a former pastor of the Sec: ond Congregational church of this city for a number of years, coming to Nor- wich in 1902, from Winona, Mich,, where he had been pastor of the Con- gational church for twelve years. e was a agraduate of Tabor college, having p#epared for the ministry at the Chicago Theological school. He was ordained in 1878. Dr. West received a call from the Everett Congregational church in the state of Washington, in 1909, and left for that place, after a most successful pastorate in this city, on December 17, 1909. Dr. West had been a most earnest and fathful pastor, ministering to the spiritual needs of his people with fine success. His leaving here was re- gretted generally. He had made many friends in and out of his church. The clergy here were greatly devoted to him and upon his departure adopted resolutions of sympathy. Dr. West was a fine pulpit orator and had done much good in the community. He remained in the west until last year when he went to the iome of his daughter in California on account of his health. Some time after he had left Everett he was continued as pas- tor of the church there. Surviving are Eleanor, wife of, Dr. West, and two daughter, Mrs. ells, wife of a mem- ber of the Harvard faculty at €am- bridge, and Miss Margaret West of Santa Ana, Cal CUMMINGS & RING Funeral Divectars and Embalmers 337 MAIN STREET Oppcsite Post Office "Phone 238-2 Lady Assistant PROFESSOR FARRELL TO GIVE RECITAL AT LOCKPORT.
