Shaer was kept Monday night at police headquarters in this city under guard and will be examined as to his sanity today (Tuesday) and probably be committed to the Norwich state hospital through the probate court. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he gashed himself in the groin with a Jackknife, making a deep wound about three or feur inches long and also made a superficial cut over the upper region of the abdomen. He followed this up by jumping into Peck Hollow brook, but didn’t stay long enough to be drowned, changing his. mind and crawling up the bank onto the rail- AYS road track where he lay down in the path of an approaching freight train, at a point south of Murphy's cross- ng. The ' train crew managed to bring the train to a stop in time and took him aboard and brought him to the Frink place. There he was kept in the barn while word was sent to First Selectman C. B. Davis of _Franklin, who had the second selectman, M. F. Beckwith, bring the man to the Nor- wich police station for keeping over night. At the police station Dr. Paul Ga- dle sewed up the gaping wound in the man’s groin, putting from 15 to 18 stitches into it. Then Shaler was put into the detention room for the night wit ha guard over him. The man says he has been sick and is discouraged. He is unmarried and says he has no relatives. He has been working on several farms in Franklin before he went to the rink farm. VICTORY HOME COMING COMMITTEE MEETS The Vietory Home Coming celebra- tion committee met at the Chamber of Commeree rooms on Monday cve ning when important matters in con- nection with the celebration to be hela on the Fourth of July came up for dis- cussion. “We're going to have at least ten bands, and several drum corps in line and we hope to have every fra- ternal organization of the city, every troop of Boy Scouts, girl scouts also, Norwich Libecty Bond subscribers, war savings stamp buyers and war workers in the big parade to be held in the afternoon of the Fourth,” said William P. Hill, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee in charge of th= celebration, after the committee meet- ing Monday night,” We want every person in the town of Norwich to co operate with us in our efforts to make this day one of the greatest days in the history of the Rose of New Eng land.

Pettis were appointed a committee to form a resolution ask- ing the town of Norwich for an appro- priation cf §10,000 for the Welcome Home ceclebration. It was the sense of the meeting that the expense of the celebration should be borne by the entire town, rather than by a few public spirited citizens. i Walter F. Lester, chairman of the| fireworks committee, was instructed to close a contract for $2,000 worth of fireworks. This was done Monday night as the committee learned that if they are to have fireworks for the celebration the contract must be made | within forty-eight hours in order to| give the fireworks people time to manufacture and deliver the goods. The chairman was requested to ask the city to reserve the small park on Broadway known as the Little Plain for the serving of lunch to the hoys in uniform. The War Camp Com- munity Service has volunteered - to arrange for folk dancing and commu- | nity chorus singing along the line of march and also in the parade. They will work in cooperation with the music committee of which Charles D. Geer is the-chairman. Mr, Geer has reported that there will be group singing and auto serenade parties in all parts of the city on Fourth of July evening, These arrangements are well underway. 2 Another feature of the programme is the plan to have cheer leaders along| the line of march to lead in cheers and applause and to put a little pep and ginger into the occasion. Charles F. Wells has been appointed chairman of the committee on floats:! A German U-boat, aeroplanes, bal-| loons and attractions of a similar na- ture will be secured if possible. Mayor J. J. Desmond, Ex-Mayor Allyn L. Brown and Ex-Mayor T. C. Murphy were appointed a committee to inves- tigate and report on this part of the celebration programme, Charles A.' Hagherg of the parade committee reported that he expects a whole battalien in line. Edward G. McKay, who is chairman of the ath- letic committee, reported that the ath- letic events will start at 8.30 in the morning and will include a hall game. The Norwich Society of New York will be invited to attend the celebra- tion in a body wmq0ssible. If the so- ciety is able to ..cent the invitation the members will be guests of the exe- cutive committee during their stay in Norwich. Chairman_ Hill said Monday night that there is plenty of room on the executive committee for additional members and that he will be pleased to hear from any who wish to serve and who have suggestions to offer. Before the meeting adjourned the secretary was instructed to convey a message of sympathy to Frank J. King, president of fhe chamber of commerce, and Mrs. King, in their re- cent bereavement, the death of their son, Dr. J. M. King. The committee will meet again next Monday evening. W. C. T. U.

Several of the members reported their success in soliciting for the Vie- tory drive, and it was voted to con- tinue solicitations and hold a meeting the first Monday in July to make fi- nal reports, After an open discussion it was vot- ed to hold a sale early in the fall, to! replenish the treasury. It was voted to send telegrams to our representatives at Washington, D. C., to support the constitutional pro- hibition amendment, Mrs. Mead read an item which pic-~ tured Connecticut as the most back- ward of any state in the Union on the temperance auestion, and much edu- cational work is needed to enlighten the people.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS CONSIDER BUYING HOME It was reported Monday night that White Crog; council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus, had bought a piece of Broadway property for a council home and club house, but the prospective seller said that the deal had not been closed though there seemed to be every prospect that it would be. The property is admirably suited to the purpose for which the Knights of Columbus would use it, being located not so far from St. Patrick's church, baving a large house and a fine level lot of good size which would furnish facilities for tennis courtsand outdoor recreations. Only a truthful man knows how much he lies. Y. M. C. A. DRIVE STARTS WITH $923 FIRST DAY The local Y. M. C.
