REFUSES ORDER TO SELL NEW LONDON COTTON MiILL _An application for an order for the receiver of the Mohegan Cotton Mills company of New London to call the property of the company was @enied by Judge James H. Webb in the su- perior court here on Tuesday after- noon. The application was brought in the suit of John Merchant of Prov- idence against the company of which Joéseph Brierly is receiver. Attorney C. R. Waller who appeared for the application stated to the court that the books. of the concern showed it_had about $135,000 invested in the property and that $100,000 in _stock had been issued against property that has now_ been inventoried as worth $50,000. He said the statement of op- erations from May 1 = to June 15 showed a loss of $1,200 in that time and it was thought advisable to have the property sold under such circum- stances Attorney Frank L. McGuire opposed the granting of the order. He said that. he had become a director of the company last January at the request of certain New London people who held a large amount of preferred stock and had paid 100 cents on the dollar for their stock. His investiga- tion of the books of the concern, he said, showed that $40.000 of common stock had been issued to Merchant, on which he had paid $10,000 in cash and represented he had paid also in) machinery, but Merchant ha dput in no machinery. A man named Watson had had issued to him $30,000 common stock and had turned in for it machin- ery said to be worth $7,500. To an- other man $40,000 in commen stock had been issued but no cash on this had been paid. Mr. McGuire claimed that all these men were all financially responsible, and if they were obliged to pay in casn the company would be out of its diffi- culty. He said the receivership pro- ceedings were started without any service upen him although he was secretary of the company and that the only service made was on the treas- urer when the attorneys for Mer- chant were already on their way to see the judge to have the receiver ap- pointed.

W. Comstock —_— Eulogy of Late Memorial resolutions upon the late Charles W. Comstock of Norwich and Montville were presented and passed at a meeting of the County Bar association here at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the su- perior court room and_a eu was delivered by Attorney Hadlai A. Hull of New London. Attorney Willlam H. SHields, presi- dent of the association. presided, and Judge Lueius Brown was clerk. Attorney Lee Roy Robbins of this city, who was. the law partner of Mr. Comstock, presented the resolutions, which were ordered placed in the rec- ords of the meeting. Referring to entry into the legal pre fession as a call, @ voice, an inspira- tion, Major Hull went on to speak in part as follows: Our brother Comstock, whose achievements and success we record today, had his boyhood dreams. The voice may come to one in a Tennessee cabin: to another n_the hills of New pshise. It matters not where. To our’brother Comstock the voice of ambition came in the open, in the hills of his native town of Montville. The first coveted prize was to be won in the Free Academy of Norwich, an in- stitution whose advantages I well re- member to have coveted as a country hoy in a nearby town. One of those innumerable establishments builded in wisdom and zenerosity which have contributed to the weal and honor of the nation. The lure of ambition is the obstacle she places in the path of her subjects. Lack of monev and means was the first obstacle to be overcome by our brother Comstotk. From him I have heard the story of his early struggles. Upon ancestral woodland, with the loan of his father's team and an_ axe, he literally héwed his way through the Norwich Free Academy. The boy who is willing to carve his career through cordwood and timber may be trusted in manhood to con- tinue the carving process into the re- gion of destinv. It takes but little fmagination to see the sturdy boy trudging along by the side of a voke of oxen to market his wares, a part of the processlon ever moving on under the personal command of Ambition herself. Equipped with the training of the Academy and as he believed. de- nied the privilege of college training, he entered the exacting apprenticeship of the law. The good Dame Fortune. put him under the tutelage of the late Judge Lafayette S, Foster, where as at the feet of Gamaliel, he labored through the recorded exneriences of Wankind which we call the law. If Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a bey on the other end constituted a university, then our brother Com- stock had the advantages of a uni- versity. No system of philosophy or of science can in merited discipline and training excell the body of learn- ing demominated the law. Judge Fos- ter as attorney, advocate. legislator and judge of our superior and supreme courts had occuvied nositions of the Feeatest trust and responmsibility. To the discharge of these responsibilities he had brought learning of a high or- der as well as couraze of convictio In the senate of the United States, not- withstanding the threats of ostracism by partisan leaders, which were after- wards carried Into effect, he refused to lower his standing by conferring on the ignorant black man of the south the elective franchise on more liberal terms than were granted to the edu- cated white man of Connecticut. It would be difficult to find a man Dbetter qualified to fit a student to he- come a lawyer, worth to_be, as the American lawyer is, ex-officio, 2 part of our government. The influence of - iy 2 1918 this legal pereceptor upon the young man cannot be measured. Our brother Comstock was loyal to his clients and he had a clientel which was loyal to him. They believed in him, quoted him and acted by his ad- vice. He never abandoned their causes while there remained a shadow of hope of success. The resolutions fitly drawn by brother Robbins give a correct and more detailed impression of his ex- periences at the bar. He was positive in his friendships and was equally cordial in his dislikes. He sought no contest, but he did not 50 far out of his-way to avoid one. He used to say, in jest, that he loved his friends and hated his enemies. While he was very active at the bar, his efforts were not confined to the practice of the law. I have been with him many days in camps in the forests of Maine, and there he talked cenfi- dentially of schemes which he had in|8Y the course of development especially the development of natural resources of power and of public and private utilities. These conversations disclosed him to be a constant and careful ob- server of possibilities seen by but few men. The three trolley systems which form the triangle, the angles of which are at Norwich, New London and Westerly, were promoted and built largely through his efforts. Plans for the conservation and development of power were conceived by him. some of which fructified, but many of which | must be realized by future generation's. It is fair and just to say of him that he had the instincts and courage of a pioneer. Mr. Comstock had a genius for poli- tics, which is the school of the states- man. His cunning and sagacity gener- aily kept his political opponents from overindulgence in sleep. He experi- enced the fortunes and misfortunes of the whirligig of political and popular caprice. He had studied and he knew the temperament of the electorate of Connecticut, if not of the counmtry at large, so well as to make his counsel valuable. In all these things he was a cheerful, courageous and aggressive democrat. Mr. Comstock was & bach- eclor. His faithfulness to his natural family ties left no room for the crea- tion of new obligations. His devotion {to his parents was more than honmor to father nad mother. It reflected honor upon him. He was an enthusiastic devotee of the rod and the gun. The call to the wild was irresistible. When the ice went out of the waters of Maine in the spring, or when the Tirst snows of win- ter bezan to whiten the hills, so that the tracks of the deer betraved his ‘whereabouts, so far as he was concern- ed, the court mizht as well adjourn at these times. The estimate of a man at all active is not complete which leaves out of | consideration his religious side. He may say but little of the subject of re- ligion, but that does not mean that he is oblivious of the subject. Fear of darkening counsel with words without knowledge may often account for the reticence. “Remember now thy Crea- tor in the days of thy youth while the evil days come not, nor the years draw | nigh when thou shalt say. I have no pleasure in them.” Heeding this ad- monition, Brother Comstock In his boyhood obeved the command of the Son of Righteousness, in whom he had unlimited faith. He accepted the solil- oquoy of the great apestle to the Gen- tiles ‘who in matchless language de- fined the attributes of charity. Not alone the tongues of men, or of angels: not alonme the gift of prophecy, or knowledge of mvstery. or the bestow- Ing of goods to feed the poor, but that charity which spurns display and which suffereth Jorg and is kind and which never faileth.

The police | officer suzgested in o friendly way that ! the unsteady mourner of luckless John | Barleycorn wend his way home, but the man had an opinion of his own | about that, and after a few words with | the officer’ found himself on the way to a cell at police headquarters, where | he spent the remainder of the night in meditation. When asked in court it he were drunk when he was arrested, he was still deflant and responded that {he was no drunker than the policeman { who arrested him. Three others were fined for intoxi- cation, and two men charged with bootlezsing were liberated upon order of U. 8. Commissioner Barle Mathew- son. For using vile language to Officer Daniel J. O'Neil, C. Horston, colored, a steward’s cook ‘of New London, nald the sum of $17.50. He was using Irather vile Janguage on Franklin square Monday night and was repri- manded by the officer. He then board- ed a New London bound ’bus and when he thought he was safely out of reach continued his abusive language. The matter was reported to polico head- guarters and the man was arrested in New London at the request of the police here. Officer P. Murnhy went down after him in the auto patrol wagon.

Hull of the circumstances of the atuomobile accident on Scot- land road on Wednesday, June 18, when nine year old Joseph Prentice Storms was killed by the automobile driven by Walter W. Lang, president of the Norwich water board, has re- sulted in a decision to bring erith- inal prosecution against Mr. Lang, said Major Hull here Tuesday. Mr. Lang, said the state’s attorney, will be charged with reckless driv- ing, and the prosecution _will be brought through H. Bradford, deputy inspector of the state motor vehicle department. Under the direc- tion of the state’s attorney, photo- graphs have been taken of the scene of ‘the_accident, and special investi- gator. W E. Jackson, has been collect- ing the evidence. The state's attorney has come to the conclusion that Mr. Lang was criminally negligent on the ground that ‘he did not slow down when ap- proaching the group of children and he considers that the evidence will show that Mr. Lang drove his car into the grasa by the side of the road in an endeavor o loop around the boy without slowing down and this was the cause of the fatility.
