GREENEVILLE 4 Ladies’ Aid Societies Hold Their R ular Meetings—Dogs and Cats a Menace to Home Gardens—Notes: The Ladies’ Aid of the Greeneville Congregational church met at _the homs of Mrs. J. C. Atterbury on Page street Wednesday evening with @ large number in attendance. The reg- ular routine of business was transact- ed and the reports read and accepted. The various committees reported their work completed. Two new members were taken into the soclety. Several of the ladies were appointed to fur- nish flawers for the churéh for the coming two months. Following the business session a social hour was en- joved at which time refreshments were served by the hostess. Dogs and Cats Menace to Gardens Several df the residents of Greene- ville, who have fallen in line with the Home Garden movement and are culti- vating their plot of land, find that. it is going to be rather hard to raise good crops with four or five dogs and more cats trving to help the work by dizging holes in the middle of one's garden. One woman who owns nel- ther a cat nor a dog found five cats racing around in the garden that she is cultivating. Many have said that they would complain to the authorl- ties unless people Who-own these ani- mals keep them 'in their own back yard. It seems rather discouraging that at this time when the country needs every bit of produce that can be raised that along with other things the dog and cat problem has to be contended with es’ Afd Meeting. church held their regular meeting on Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Irving Larkin on Central avenue. The regular routine of business was transacted and the reports of the sec- retary and treasurer were read and accepted. TFollowing the regular busi- ness sessiin the ladies sewed on the work that will be given to the hospi- tal. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostes: Acespts Challenge. ber Term. — Henry J. Henderson who pleaded suilty to the charge of burglarizing three Norwich concerns was on Wed- nesday sentenced to serve thirty days on each of the three counts by Judge Case. J. I'red Burns, who was charg- ed with indecént assault changed his plea of not guilty to guilty on a charge of assault and batteryy and was glven a year in jail Whaa court convened Adam Panis, Joseph 'Weeks, Alexander Lapinsky. Joseph Savitski and Brani Boseo, charged with theft, changed their pleas. of not guilty to gullty and were sen- tenced to four months in jail. The ac- cused were arrested for the theft of quantities of clath from cars of the Central Vermont raiiroad. Lieut. Theodore F. Downing of the state police arrested Panis in Philadei- phia on the charge of adultery. A Guantity of cloth found in his trunk resulted.in the arrests of the gang by Patrolman Charles P. Hammond and Special Agent Hickey of the Central Vermont railroad. Trank Hempstead of Greton, who pleaded guilty Tuesday to breaking and entering a New Haven rallroad freignt car, was sentenced to one year in jail but the execution of the same was Sus- pended and the accused was placed in the charge of the probation officer. The case of McArthur Marr of West- erly, charged with embezzlement, and who pleaded guiity Tuesday, was con- tinued until 1he September term and the accused was placed in charge of the probation fcer. Marr was arrested Jan. 26¢h, charged With the theft of funds of the Adams Express compary in New London, by which concern he was employed. J. Fred Burns of North Stonington, who pleaded not guilty Tuesday of in- decent assault, was allowed to plead to an amended complaint, that of as- sault and battery, and he pleaded guilty Wednesday. 'Burns was charged with attacking and committing an in- decent assault upon his young daugh- ter, but because of the weakness of the state’s case Judge Case permitted the amendment to the complaint to be made. In imposing sentence, which was one vear in jail, Judge Casa said ghat if it was possible to convict Burns of the originai charge, which indicated the probability that the father com- municated a disease to his daughter that Wethersfield would be the fu abode of the brute for a long time. Belevina Kiker, who wae arrested in Philadelphia with Adam_Panis, wiio stole from the Central Vermont rail- road, and who was charged with adul tery, and who pleaded not gulity Tues. day, changed her plea to guilty. Be- cause of the desire of her husband to have his wife live with him again, Judge Case imposed a sentence of one vear in jail and placed the woman in the custody of the probation officer. The changing of the plea of the woman developed the fact that becauss of her runming away with Panis Mrs. Kiker's year and a half old child had died from exposure and privation. She had a child living about 3 1-2 years old. In’imposing sentence Judge Case Must Serve Ninety Days for Burglaries Committed in This City—Embezzlement Case is Continued Until Septem- told the woman that it was due to the fact that her husband desired her to veturn home, with the fact that she had a child that needed a mother's care, that he Was going to permit her to have her freedom, but he warned her that if she did mot hehave herself and if she came befere him again he would put into effect a prison sentence. George Williams, a Voluntown negro, charged with bu ._pleaded guilty and was centenced to 60 deys in jall Williams broke into the cottage rs. Sarah Green on the outskirts of Vol- untown while under the influence of Russell, aged 17, of Portland, Me. and George F. Early, aged 15, of Somerville, Mass., < With theft, were allowed their liberty because of thelr tender years and be- cause of family conditions. The boys, together with Clifford West and Walter Cummings, both of Portland, Me. were apprehended Feb. 17th following breaking into a New Haven rafiroad car, where each was fiitting, himslef with a pair of shoes. The hoys left home together to see the world. After_their arrest West and Cum- mings furnished a surety and they were not in court because of an appar- ent understanding. It developed that Russell's mother is a widow and she was_without funds to furnish carfare for her son to_return home. This was furnished by Probation Officer Mans- ficld. The Barly boy’s mother is aiso a widow and asked for the liberation of the youth because she needed his support. She forwarded a ticket that the lad might lose no time in returning home. John Carroll pleaded not guilty of the theft of two barn fowl from the farm of Patrick Leary in Waterford on_the night of the 26th uit. James J. Riley of New TLondon, charged with theft, and whe is at lib- erty on honds of $600, was not in court for some unknown reason. Riley is in New York and it is belleved that he will come back. His case will come unr next term. He was apprehended in New York when he left a Central Ver- mont steamer following complaint be- ing made to the New York authorities at Riley was a fugitive from justice, having stolen a quantity of wire from the Shore Line Electric company, by whom he was emploved. ‘Wedneaday afternoon the case of the state against James Carroll of Water- ford, charged with stealing two barn fowl from Patrick Leary of that place, was nolled. The case of Harry Divick of Mont- ville, who Tuesday pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault upon Joseph Divick. was ended with the accused changing his plea to guilty and paying the fine imposed, $10. The Divicks en- gaged in a fight and it is alleged Harry used a knife on Joseph. All the old cases were continued to the September term. At the afternoon session of eourt all the business that was ready for trimi was handled and the court adjourned without a date, bringing the session to a close in what is one of the shortest on record.

Chief Justice Charles O. Prentice and ail the justices were present. % our president wwithout even the bat Franted him ted ing that was gran was. Seomass of jnfience Outalte the board of trustees that was brought to bear upon the-situation. We will ad- mit that the granting of any by the trustees gave a. fairer appear- ance to the matter, but as to just how much the one given really meant to the parties interested and its true value as 2 hearing, many people are in dopubt. We arc proud to know that Dr. Sykes refused to accept the invitation of the trustees “to slip away” When he was asked to resign. Instead he chose to stand, as & man should, and face any charges that could be brought inat him. We honor him for this and ap- preciate what the stand that he teok meant for the Connectiout coliege of the futare. The hearing being private and repre- sentatives of the student Body being debarred as ‘witnesses, all that we know of it is the statement made by the committee of investigation at the meeting of the trustees on the 1Sth of April. In that statement no reasons for the decision are given in detail, nar are any of the charges preferred by Dr. Sykes refuted, with the exception of ‘the question of a certain coal deal which was treated at some length. The situation is, then, that from the statements made by Dr. Sykes and members of the board of trustees, we can see no just cause for the present state of affairs. The. evidence that has been given us as students and the de- cision of the board of trustees seems irreconcilable. If we are in possession of all the facts, we feel that a great and good man is being unjustly treat- ed. The trustees have admitted that as an educator Dr. Sykes is entirely sat- isfactory. They can bring no _charges against his moral character. His busi- ness inabflity is the cause of the trou- ble, they say. We ask for proofs that shall be sufficient to depose him from the presidency. As thinking, reasoning individuals who are vitally affected by the con- troversy (for it the last analyels it is only for and because of the students that a coliege exists), we must make a decision. And, having made our de- cision, we must stapd far it until con- vinced that we are wrong. If the trus- tees can tell us anything which would alter the aspect of the situation, and about which they have Been silent, lot them speak and tel] us and never again state that there is more that might be sald, without eaying it. We ask them only to show the confidence in us in dealing with this matter that Dr. Sykes has always shown in the student body. We feel that our position and Tights as the first students of the col- lege have been ignored by the trus- tees. RED MEN GAIN 333 NEW MEMBERS. Forty Tribes Represented at Annual Session of Great Council.

The sesaion is ene of the largest in_the history of the t oouncil. Mayor Clifford N. Wilson welcomed the visiting Red Men to and Great Sachem Alfred Ligourie of New London thanked him for his cor- dial welcome in behalf of the Red Men. The great council then settled down to the transaction of business, which included the reading of the re- ports of th egreat chiefs and commlt- tees.

The great sun just closing since.last we met has been filled with stirring events—events which have transpired with kaleidoscopic - rapidity, shaping the destinies of men and nations ail over the world, The one which con- cerns us most is the entrance of our country into the war which is rav ing the old world. Fraught as it is with such grave possibilities in the loss of lives (perhaps of those near and dear to us), to say nothing of property and money, our thoughts as we are gathered here today are.saddened and our hearts are heavy. Desming that the United States could no langer with honor remain out of the war, the men at the head of our republic have sounded the call to arms and the Improved Order of Red Men, baptized in the blood of the heroes of the Revolution, will be a participant in another war. 'Already Red Men from this state, from your tribe and mine, together with other members of our fraternity all over the country, have responded to the call of their country, thereby upholding the reputation of our order for patriotism. Despite the cloud which has hovered over our land during the past great sun, the Improved Order of Red Men in Connecticut has much to be thank- ful for. The order has made a sub- stantial gain in membership, and har- mony, peace and a spirit of fraternity and g0od will prevail in all the tribes. With possibly one or two exceptions, every tribe in the reservation has shown a nincrease in members and finances, attesting to the enthusiasm which has everywhere been manifested. The closing session was held Wed- nesday. The following officers were elected: Consul, George Gorman, New Britain: clerk, Thomas J. Gibney, Po- quonock: worthy advisor, George Al- len, Danbury; banker, George A. Stark, New Britain: esquire, Charles Hopkins, Stamford. 'The next conven- tion will be held in_Stamford in 1920.
