Barr who will assign you days of the wee' and hours of the day that you can be of greatest service to the Board. As a patriotic duty will you not place your services in the hands of the Board immediately, arranging the time that will be most suitable for you to give to this important work?

Students residing on the campus or in college houses have been requested not to leave the college campus or to en- tertain callers. Students commuting will either remain on campus as Suests of resident students or remain at _home. Chapel, vespers and other college gatherings will be suspended for the preseny, although ses will be held as instructors residing in New London have been requested to walk to and from the college, The students will carry out the wishes of the president to the last degree and the time which under or- dinary conditions would have entailed zoing to town will be spent in getting acquainted with the incoming class at the college. It is not expected that the quarantine will last over two weeks. The high open healthy situa- tion of the college and the consequent outdoor life which the students enjoy are considereqd by th ehealth officer as combatting factors of the disease and prevented official quarantine by his order.

Thomas M. Shields, who was counsel for Zanowitz succeeded on Thursday in making this arrangement for his cliant through leniency shown ° by Judge William S. Case. The time for appeal had gone by without an appeal havinb been taken, but when the cir- cumstances were shown to the judge that the Zanowitz family would be unable to harvest their crops and would be in want if the father were sent to jail at once, the-judge extend- ed the time of appeal, allowing Mrs. Zanowitz to give bail for her husband for 30- days with the understanding that the appeal will then be vacated and Zanowitz will serve his term in jail. SHORTAGE OF HELP CUTS TROLLEY SERVICE Thirty-three out of a force of about 75 conductors and motormen on the board at the Greeneville car barn reported off duty on Thursday because of sickness, largely due to the preva- lent epidemic of inflienza, so that the Shore line trolley company had to cut ots service in this city. There were no cars on the Bos- well avenue line or the Laurel Hill avenue line until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only - an hourly service on the Montville line. On this line a saving in help was also made by Tunning car doubled in trains, which took only one motorman and two conductors for two cars. R Majority for Acquittal.

DRASTIC ORDERS ISSUED IN NEW LONDON One more death of a man in service and three deaths of civilians on Thursday in New London, brought the total service ‘men deaths to 16 and the civilians to eight, a grand total of 24 deaths in that city from Spanish in- fluenza since September 15.

The meeting was called in response to an urgent appeal from the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America that every associa- tion of retail merchants send a repre- sentative to an important meeting to be held at the New Willard hotel, Washington, D. C., on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. = and 3. After hearing the call for the meeting, John Porte- ous, president of the Porteous & Mitchell company, was unanimously clected to represent the local organ- ization at the meeting to be held ih Washington. The purpose of the meeting is to create a war service committee, at the request of the coun- cil of national defense, said commit- tee to be given authority to deal with the government on behalf of those in- terested on matters of conservation, priority, fuel, transportation, etc. The members of the local organization feel that they are fortunate in having as a representative at this important meet- inz a man of Mr. Porteous’ wide busi- aess experience. TWO GIRLS ARE SENT HOME TO PROVIDENCE Annie Gemma, 21, wife of Joseph Gemma, and Jennie Fugere, 15, the two girls who were associated with the two men who stole a safe and its contents from a restaurant in Groton, were presented before Judge William S.

The girls have been in jail here since the first day of the present term of court. Annie Gemma claims to be the wife of Joseph Gemma, who with Frank Rotondo has pleaded guilty to the theft, but the father of Gemma told the officers who searched the Gemma home in Providence for the stolen money that their son was not marrie‘d to the girl.

Geib of this city was found guilty on charges of theft and of breaking and entering freight cars upon trial in the superior court he# on Thursday before Judge William §. Case and jury. After an all-day trial, the case went to the jury at 3.35 in the afternoon, and thev returned their verdict through Foreman Frank W. Brewster of this city about am hour later. The value made was mot accepted by the legisla- ture, but again in 1901 he was on a committee with Judge Lucius Brown o fthis city and Mr. Hooker of Hart- ford. They caused a bill to be pre- sented to the legislature, but it failed of passage. Two vears later Dr. Stark was the moving spirit in having an- other bill presented to the legislature and in having it passed against de- termined opposition from Fairfield county, which wanted the hospital lo- cated there. This provided for the establishment of the Norwich state hospital for the insane under an initial appropriation of $100.000. Two - LEMON JUICE TAKES OFF TAN : Girls!
