The washout under the north end of the power plant, Where the water comes down into the building from the Quine- baug river to drive the water wheels, now out of service, is of serious na- ture and the repairs will cost thous- ands of dollars. One great concrete pier, which became undermined, has dropped down into the yawning depths through which the wa- ter is now rushing, leaving a large sec- tion of the ground levei floor, on Which heavy machines set almost unsup- ported through the central section of the northerly end of the building. It has been stated that spiles may have to be driven at the point wherel the base of the great concrete pier rested, befort the foundation for a new one that will stay put can be laid. An inspection of the premises Wwhere the work must be dome indicates that the task will be an expensive one and will take considerable time to complete, In the meantime the water power that is available at the power plant cannot be used. The pier that collapsed after being un- dermined went down with a teriffic crash. The happening came at 1.30 in the morning, at which time cars are not operating over the local line. In the opinion of many of Danielson’s citizens, something will have to be done to curb fast driving of motor vehicles through the bo®uh. The abuse of speed has become particularly flagrant in the business section, Where narrow escapes from serious accidents are of daily oc- currences. Fifteen miles an hour is the maxi- mum speed at which motor vehilces may be operated within the borough limits, and this fact is well known to every motor vehicle operator, at least each op- erator makes oath that they are familiar with the motor vehi:le laws of the state when accepting an operator's license. Arrests for violation of the speed law are being urged upon officials as a sum- mary means of checking the reckless arivers. It is well recognized that even twenty miles an hour through the bus- iness section may easily be established as a reckless speed, traffic conditions considered. aturday. was a day marked by partic- ularly bad judgment on the part of some drive who were ™undling cars in the business section, and called forth critici- cism and a demand that action be taken to teach the careless ones a les- son, that serious accidents may be avert- ed. Funeral services for Mrs. Margaret E. Reynolds were held at the home of her b Dyer Potter, in the town of , Rev. Albert Jepson of St. Al- ban’s church, Danielson, officiating. Burjal was in the South cemetery, Brook- lyn. The bearers were Sherwood Pot- ter, Dyer Potter, William Potter, all of Brooklyn, and Dr. F. T. Baldwin, of Putnam. A. F. Wood was in charge of the funeral arrangements. Splendid weather and onme of the fin- est attractions billed for the series— Colangelo’s band — attracted unusually large numbers to the Chautauqua tent on Saturday. Featured with the band was Miss Myra Louise Eckhoff, soprano, who was given a fine reception. The lectourer of Saturday was John A. Dun- v and his interesting subject Serbia in Mr. Dunway recently returned from Serbia where he has been engaged in relief work. Sunday there was a union meeting of the churches at the Chautauqua tent. The evening’s programme included a sa- cred concert by Golango's band, and address by Mr. Dunway and songs by Miss Eckhoff. Herewith are excerpts from the mem- orandum of Judge George E. Hinman, of the superiod court, in passing upon motions recently discussed by counsel in the case of Miss Uertrude A. War- dell vs. the town of Killingl Motion to strike out.'There is no such essential difference between the appli- cation and tules to show cause in this case and the ordinary alternative writ of mandamus as to render a motion to quash inappropriate as a means of testing the sufficiency of the allegations thereof. Such an application and rule may, as is the the alternative writ, prop- erly be regarded as standing in the place of the complaint and the motion to quash as performing the office of a demurrer upon the grounds alleged in the motion. While the necessity of the filing of a separate motion to quash by the de- fendant town of Killingly as well as by the respondents named in the several ap- plications is perhaps open to question, such motion is not so within the scope of Section 181 Rules -of Court (Practice Book p. 254) as to justify striking it out. The motions to strike out are denied . Motions to qnash. The grounds com- mon to all the motions to quash will be first considered. These allegations of the applications which relate to the acts of the plain- tiff are sufficiently broad to permit proof thereunder.of such compllance on the parl of the plaintiff with the pro- vision of Section 1007 General Statutes as_may entitle her to a certificate. If the duty to issue the certificate PUTNAM Saturday morning, after having care- | fuliy read the statement issued <n Fric: by Jiayor Allie W. Marey of Futazm also having seen the newspaper article that appeared in a city daily last week, and which was responsible for the protest by the city's vhief executive, Mrs. Walter J. Bartlett stated that with one slight ex- ception she endorsed the article, and felt convinced that there was in Putnam an organization that was engaged in pro- tecting vice. Who the'leaders of this or- ganization are Mrs. Bartlett could not say, but of its existence she has no doubt. ‘The court of inquiry that was held in this city to investigate the celebration of the Fourth of July proves the point,” said Mrs. Bartlett Saturday. “The fact that a dozen or more Witnesses were brought before this court and question, and yet, having been present at the time, were un- able to identify a single person there, or to give any information that would lead to convictions if the affair were taken into court, proves that these men were in agreement not to testify or to give any information that would lead to arrests. “As for conditions in Putnam at the present time; I can but refer those inter- ested to the issues of the Putnam papers and The Norich Bulletin's Putnam column in which the accounts of the Fourth of July celebration appeared. And these accounts have never been questioned. Everyone acepts them as true. In fact one of the members of the common coun- cil at its last meeting stood up before that body and told of the things he had seen here, and ended by saying that the city of Putnam was ‘in bad.’ " According to Mrs. Bartlett the article that appeared in the daily paper was written from headlines in one of the Put- nam weekly papers. She was called to the telephone by a reporter of that city paper and asked to give a statement concerning the mob action in front of her house on the night of the Fourth. Mrs. Bartlett school committee, and such certificate is properly to be given, if at all, by said town committee. The motion to quash the application against Pilling, Boys, and Turner is granted on this ground. Evidence of the contents of the letter mentioned in paragraphs 13-16 both in- clusive, of the application against Mar- land, when offered by the plaintiff in the trial of the original action for the purpose of proving that she was pos- sessed of the required certificate—said letter being Claimed to constitute such certificate—was excluded by the court on the ground that said letter, being signed by said Turner only, did not constitute such certificate as is required in that it was not signed by all the members of the special committee or a majority of the town school committee. (Exhibit A p. 29). It may be that upon a full hear- ing of the facts under the allegations of this application against the members of the town school committee relating to the examination of the plaintiff by the special committee, its report to the town committee, the subsequent employment or, payment of wages to, and re-employ- ment of the plaintiff, and other con- duct of said town committee and other relevant facts the court might, as sug- gested by Judge Keeler (Exhibit A p. 31) find the plaintiff entitled to an or- der affecting an amendment, nunc pro tunc, of said defective certificate. Such at least is the purpose so t by said application. In her application against Marland, the secretary of said commit- tee, the plaintiff allezes that certain acts were done, votes passed, and transac- tions had by said committee, some of which, at least, if proven, appear to be proper subjects of record but which, it is alleged, do not now appear in the records of the. committee’s proceedings. These facts, if appearing of records, would obviously be of assistagce to the plaintiff as tending to establish a right to receive, and a duty on the part of the committee to give, a sufficient cer- tificate. If any facts can be proven under said allezations which are properly to be included in the record of the com- mittee's proceedings the plaintiff would be entitled to have them made, by the respondent as secretary, a matter of such record. and thus to have the benefit of them in subsequent proceedings, especial- ly hearing upon the application aganst Creig, et als. The motion to quash the application against Marland is over- ruled. As to the application against Greig, et al., as hereinbefore indicated, the al- legations of the application may be suf- ficient, upon a hearing of all the evi- dence admissible thereunder, to entitle the plaintiff to the issuance, by the re- spondents or a majority of - them, eith- er of a certificate de novo or an amend- ment of sail letter—held defective as a certificate. The motion to quash said ap-tication vs. Greig. et al is overruled #_ Varieur s representing the Ivers & Pond Piano Co., also Schwartz Bros. of Norwich for furniture.—adv. —ee BORN.

It is mot, therefore, neces- sary to allege a demand. The claim of the respondents that Section 6065 Gen. Stat. is not applicable to the present case is not sustained. While judicial interpretation of this statute as to the scope of its applica- tion is lacking, the present situation ap- pears to be one Which the statute, fair- ly construed, is specially adapted and designed to meet. The respondents are not, in a proper sense, Strangers to the original action but are—or were at the time the alleged duty arose, offi- cers or agents of the defendant town, and the duty performance of which is such representative capacity. In such case they, instead of the defendant town, are properly nameda as respondents. It appears by the motion of Turmer and Boys to quash the application against Pillings et al, and by said applica- tion that Turier did not vote in favor of emplowing the plaintiff and therefore is fairly to be regarded as not approv- ing the issmince of a certificate to her. Such approval on his part was discre- tlonary with him and this discretion cannot be controlled by mandamus. Since, under Section 1007, a certificate by a sub-committee must be signed by all the members of such sub-committee, no purpose would be served by compell- ing the other members to sign such a certificate. ‘The plaintiff contends that under said Section 1007 Turner, al- though supervisor of schools, not be- ing a member of tke wton school com- mittee was not ‘amember of sald sub- mijttee in the sense that a certificate is- | sued by it need be signed by him. The wording of the statute “a committee by them appointed” instead of “a commit- tee of them appointed” as quoted in Plaintifs brief pp.7-7, does not com- pel such a conclusion. If the plaintiff is now entitled to a oertificate, she is 80 entitled by reason of a subsequent eonrse of action and conduct of the town MARRIED CUSHMAN — CRAMER — In Stoning* n July 31, 1920, by Rev.

He told her they were on file at his office. When asked if her property had been in danger she told him she feared fire, and that the garden hose had been taken out tv protect the house, and particularly the awnings, which she was afraid would be ignited by the firecrack- ers being thrown against them. The awn- ings did not catch fire, as was stated in the article. A hole was burned in a grass door mat. This, says Mrs. Bartlett, is an error in the article, but aside from this she is willing to endorse it. Mrs. Bartlett declares that in spite of repeated ques- tioning by the reporter who telephoned her, she made no other statements, but referred him to the local papers, and also to the records of one of the departments of the Connecticut council of defense, where reports of her work are to be found. “If you want to learn the facts” said Mrs. Bartlett, “take the Putnam paper of July 9 and read the headlines upon the front page. This is what you will find: Hoodlums Run Riot in Street; Disregard All Law and Order; Sunday night mob, half crazed with drinking, bombards Bartlett home with explosives and vile epithets ; police held at bay; termed most disgraceful affair in city’s history by offi- cials and respectable citizens; liquor stolen ; false fire alarm rung in. “This tells the story of the celebration. Now, looking at general conditions, read the headlines also on the front page of the same paper: Alderman says city ‘In Bad ;' scores present conditions; charges that liquor is being sold and crap games flourish ; thinks police should have identi fied some of mob. And this member of the city governing body is then quoted as saying that one can see on Putnam streets late at night ‘men reeling out of public houses, and crap games are every- where being played. Young boys are get- ting to defy the law. We are in bad at present, that is what I mean to infer’" According to Mrs. Bartlett, it was to these headlines and to the articles under them that she referred the city reporter. “Yet says Mrs. Bartlett, “everyone in Putnam seems to have forgotten all of this, and there is great indignation be- cause a state paper prints the story that was printed last Wednesday.” Continuing, she said nd with all of this, no one can be found to testify in court. The court of inquiry, the last re- sort of the officials, did not unearth evi- dence. The prosecuting attorney himself said that it was evident witnesses knew more than they were telling, even after they had taken the oath. The affair was zed. Who the leaders are, I don't know.

Before the court convened he also confessed to Capt. Jokn Bulger that he had taken a pocketbooi recently from an employe at the Waterman mill. Be- cause John McCall. an overseer at the mill, begged Judge Mahlon H. Geissler to give Burger another chance, and prom- ised to see that the young man kept straight, the judge sentenced Burger to the reformatory, susnended the sentence and placed him on probation under Mec- Call's care. Thursday night Burzer was again arrested. charged with the theft of a pearl necklace from a Putnam jeweler, as well as $56 in money from the Putnam Fruit company, both thefts having been made previous to Burger’s appearance in court. Burger admitted these upon ques- tioning by Capt. John Bulger. On learn- ing of this, Judge Geissler revoked the suspended sentence and ordered Burger taken to the reformatory.
