They were both in business, Mr. Gilbert in the furniture business in Broadway where the Del-Hoff hotel now is, and Mr. Cardwell in the grocery business in Water street, when Sevin and Lan- man started their drug store. Since the death of these two gentlemen a _|few years ago, however, Mr. Sevin has been the senior business man of the eity. In the drug trade the firm hag had a long and honorable career, always maintaining the highest standard, and the senior member of the firm has been known ali over the state from his con- nection with the State Pharmaceutical ssociation, of which he was presi- dent for three years, and through his service on the state board of pharma- cy. He was first appointed to tkis for a term of three years by Governor Thomas Waller, and then reappointed for two more terms of the same lcngth h | tions. He is the second oldest living 33d degree Mason in Norwich and a past high priest of Franklin chapter and past commander of Columbian com- mandery, No, 4, Knights Templar. For many yvears he has been secretary and treasurer of the Twenty-sixth Regi- e | mental association.

For the last four or five years a Sevin drug store. This was discon- tinued the first of this month. For many years the Sevin store has kept the official weather records for the city which have . been published daily in The Bulletin, giving the temperature and barometer records. These have been kept by -a registering thermom- eter, which gave the maximum and minimum temperatures for each day, and by a mercurial barometer which gives the most accurate records of the barometric changes day by day.

REMOVED_WORDS THE “UNITED STATES" g From Their Literature by Vote Spokane in June, 1917. Chicago, Aug. 2—A motion to re- move the woras “United States” from their literature was seconded and car- ried at a meeting of Industrial Work- ers of the World in Spokane, Wash, in June, 1917, according to testimony of William Moran, the secretary of that branch, in the I. W. W. trial before Federal Judge Landis today. % under other gabernatorial administra- | postal sub-station was located at the | SHAM WOMAN LIEUTENANT HELD IN NEW LONDON Home is in Newark, N. J—Wore Offi- cer's Khaki Uniform. Under a complaint containing two counts, “Liedtenant” Beatrice Duke was prgsented before U, S. Commis- sioner Frank L. McGuire in New Lon- don on Friday morning und the case was continued until Aus. 17. Ponds were fixed at $5,000, which the wo- man could not finish and went to jail. The first count charges her with impersonating an officer of the United States army, and the second charges her with violation of the act of May 18, ‘1917, which relates to lewd con- duct within a certain radius of an ar- my or navy camp, in that she pro- cured a room at a New London hotel tor immoral purposes. The complaint was drawn against “Beatrice P. Duke of Newark, N. J.* The woman admitted her guilt on the first count. The intellicence officers have ob- tained the name of the first class yeo- man stationed at the Coast Guard aca- demy who was registered with the woman on two nights at the Crocker house, and bave reperted the matter to the officer in command of the aca- demy. It is understood that his case will be handled by the naval authori- ties. “Lieutenant” Duke wore while she was in New London a natty Khaki rig, with epaulets on her shoulders and wearing pants minus the skirt, her striking upiform and personal attrac- tiveness- singled her our immediately as something out of the ordinary. Her first public appearance was on horseback when she rode through the principal streets on a horse, which she had hired for the purpose. She stopped at the Crocker House Tues- day night and Wednesday night with a man in the naval service, they hav ing registered as “Mr and Mrs Duke.” Thursday night she stopped at the police station. In telling about herself Wednesday morning she claimed that she was en- listed in the Motorcycle Seuadron, Hospital Corps, U. S. A, which was organized at Camp Meade, Md., two vears ago, and said she had been overseas twice and had been twice wounded. She said she had witnessed awful scenes on the battlefield, her duties being to carry wounded on stretchers, carry mesgages, etc. She has a scar on her left wrist, which she claimed was due to a wound. She was taken into ~ustody by se- cret service men immediately after she had been a guest and had made a short speech at the dinner of the Rotary club at the Crocker hcuse at noon on Thursday. Federal Agent Thomas C. McKone has had a confession from her on some Miss Duke said that she lives at 336 Fifteenth avenue, Newark, N. J. She has par- ents residing there. She told Mr. Mc-~ Kone that she secured the uniform when she joined the “Women's Se- curity league” in New Jersey. This league is similar to the one which has been organized by women in other cities for the purpose of forming an automobile or ambulance corps, etc. Later on she bought the epaulets. She did not divulge just what her mission was in traveling. about the count: She did, however, get sufficient atten- tien in New York city that one of the big metropolitan dailies wrote her rp in 2 Sunday issue two weeks ago publishing her picture and relating her story of how she had been wounded. Mr. McKone suggested to her that she telegraph her parents informing them of her arrest and secure counsel, but she declined to do this, saying she did not care for counsel. She carried an old army pistol, unloaded, and of a pattern that would not .be considered fit to use by a present day army man. She took her arrest rather to heart and acids that were in her possession, which were undoubtedly used in con- nection with picture taking, were taken from her to prevent any attempt on her part to harm herself. Her shoulder straps were removed at the police station, her pistol taken from her, and all papers, her camera, and pictures were retained by the government au- thorities. She besged to be not locked in a cell and Captain Pinney procured a mat- tress and placed it in a private room and she remained there all night under guard. STATE OFFICERS FOR Y. M. C. A ELECTED.
