"Wpy New | SUPERVISION OF CARNIVALS Stricter supervision of the kind of car- nivals that may be allowed to show in this city, having regard to the moral upon these who may go to see them was urged at the hearing held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock in the mayers room at the city hall by the amusement, committes of the common council, con- sisting of Aldermasi William G. Murray, Councilmen N. Eugene Smith and Mar- v ‘The frequemcy of carnivals coming Was another point touched mpom. About One & mOBth Was 2 time limit suggest- About 25 eitizens attended the hearing. Tulige T. J. Kelly was prenent stperartis as counsel for those opposed to the car- nivals butdeelined 'to say in whose in- terests he . He called upen some of the diffetent ones who spoke questioned them, to bring out further points. Judgs Kelly made the point at the be- ginning of the hearing that it was incum- bent upon the carnivals to show cause why they should be allowed to appear as. they were only operated under license. Secretary John J. rke of the Chamber of Commerce spoke first, saying that the directors opposed the promiscu- ous granting of licenses and that this opposition was net brought by the thea- tre interests but by the business_jnter- ests. It was felt that it was unfair to allow too much opposition to the local theatres. It was the idea not to shut out carnivals entirely but to bar the so-call- ed “gyp” carnivals. We want clean shows and the gambling must be stopped. If you siap the xambling, you spoil their Whole carnival business. Mr. O'Rourke sald he understosd that there was much oppesition amonz the working people to this Chamber of Com- merce opposition to earnivals, but it must be remembered they were bad for the younger generation. The business men ‘are opposed to tos many licenses, but they are net intending to xive tne theatre men a menepely of public amus:- ments. Miss Hattle G. Cross, president of the local W. C. T. U, spoke against the carnivals on the point of their moral influence and handed the committee some literature from thé- mational organization to. look over. Shé hoped lhat whatever carnivals are allowed to come will pass inspection on moral grounds. Frederick H. Wyant spoke briefly ‘n opposition and H. R. Woedward said that if you take the games of chance away from the carnivals they are dead. Joseph A. George spoke in favor of allowing carnivals to come and chal- lenged Mr. O'Rourke’s statement that they had been shut out all over Massa- chusetts. Mr. Geerge mentioned some Massachusetts towns where he had at- tended carnivals. He claimed that the carnivals pay rent here for the lot they occupy, pay from $200 to $300 to tho city electric department and benefit the local restaurants, lodging houses - ani stores by their trade. He said nodody needed fo gamble uniess of his own free will, and he thought good clean outdoor amusements ought to be allowed. Mr George said he had heard it statad that carnivals took $25,000 in a week out of the city, but he knew they mever took over $5,000. Mr. O'Rourke replied to Mr. George that it carnivals were allowed in Massa- chusetts cities, it was only whea they were sponsored by responsible fralernal socicties. New London, he said,’ had shut them out by charging a license fee of $1,000 a day. Mr. O'Rourke read from a theatrical publication of the ar- rests of carnival people for ‘various crimes. Prosecuting Attorney Lee Roy Rob- bins of the city eourt spoke of the tropble that the police have through people con- nected with carnivals, some of which never come to public motice. There are undesirable women with them sometimes and have been in Norwich _instances. Once two Norwieh girls were lured away to Willithantic. There is a general im- moral tendency about the carmivals, he sald. Joseph Picik, who said he is a part- ner in 4 business on the East Side with Councilman, Rozycki, said he did not be- lieve any merchant would object to the carnivals. His business, he sald. got about $100 to $200 a week out of the carnivals, but the figures that had been Tead at this meeting showed the thea- tres paid a license of about 10 cents a day. - Alonzo Letendér of the Columbian house and the Lennox house said he fa- vored carnivals and that their busi- ness brought in about $175 a week. The hearing adjourned about 11 o'- clock and the committee took the mat- ter under advisement.

The thres “extras” and the two addis tions voted total $10,150, bringing the city tax rate up to 19 1-2 mills, 3-4 of a mill larger than was voted last year.

Timothy C. Murphy spoke strongly in favor of the resoltion. He briefly ez. iphained the eondition in which Sachem street is today, and spoke of various ap- propriations which had been made up to 1912 for the work and which had been tumed dack into the treasury for one Teason and another. Mr. Murphy eaid the Falls Cmopany had donated a strip of land along the street elght feet wide and 300 feet long to widen the street on condition that the ecity imgrove the street through to the end. This has mot been done and Mr. Murphy expressed the opinion that the city is obligated te the Falls Company to the extent of push ing the street improvement through te the end. Charles D. Noyes endorsed Mr. Mur- phy in his ‘stand on the improvement. Mr. Noyes said he has waiched the smail-like ‘progress madS on Sachem stree¢ through three city administra- tions and said he felt the appropriation ought to be granted, The question was then propriation granted. Against Fire Depariment Apprepriation. Councilman Edward Crooks presented PI!IIIM”. 1 i i i i : ] & gn I i gs i H also .sustainel the : that the testator was Qentally compentent to make his will No doubt there were periods, boih m January and March, when his meatal state was insufficient, but at and near the dates of his marriage and the exe- cution of the will he was competent. The main question is whethe= Mrs. ‘Welch, afterwards Mrs. Geer, procurad the will by undye influence. The -parties each claim that the Sur- den of proof on this question is cn the other. - of course, the burden to influence is on the party attacking the will, _but, in cases where a certain kind of comfidential relation- ehip egists, the burden shifts. In this case, When the will was made, the per- son charged with undue influcnce was testator’s wie ; that her undue influence was executei largely before ahe became his _wife. when she was only a relative, distant blood, though near in person. Mrs. Welch, latet Mrs. Geer, doss not, spparently, come within the elass for whom the burden #hifts. She was neith- er a religious adviser, guardian, attor- ney, physician, mor did she occuny clearly advantageous position of trust. * The evidence is that she did not med- dle with the testator's business affairs. However, even If the burden of proof were upon her, I should be cblized to find upon the evidence that she has disproved any undue influence. lufluenca ho doubt, she had, but she did not abuge it. In a case of this sort, where un- a resolution authorizing the eourt of common council to appropriate $28,000 due influence is in question, a good deal of weight may clearly be given lo for the purchase of a new auto pumper and motor aerial truck for the fire de- partment. He moved the adoption of the resolution. C. V. Pendleton, a former member of the board of fire commissioners, apoke at some length in favor of the passags of the recolution. He said he realizes that the city needs more apparatus. No town in Connecticut, the sizé of Norwich, has 5 httle apparatus as Norwich. Mr. Pendléton said Norwich has but one piece of up-to-date apparatus, an auto pumper. The department has an old aerial truck drawn by three old horses, and the truck can't xet to fires on time. This piece of apparatus is out of date. It was purchased some 15 or 18 years ago. Mr. Pendleton said it costs the fire de- partment $1,100 a Year to maintain the three horses, which have been in servics about 18 years, and that it cost less than $1,100 to ‘maintain the five pieces of mo- tor apparatus last year. We have hard working firemen, but they ean't work un- less they have the apparatus, Mr. Pen- dleton said. Edward Kirby in replying to Mr. Pen- dletort spoke in opposition to the resolu- tion. He said the aerial truck was only required at large buildings and that it Was but frequently used. Mr. Kirby said 328,000 was too much. He referred to the faet that the town has an auto pump- er at Yantic which could be called in when necessary. Mr. Kirby meved that the matter be indefinitely postponed. Councilman Crooks started to remark on Mr. Kirby's motion but Mayor Lerou ruled that a motion to indefinitely post- pone is not debatable. Mr. Pendleton said he beMeved a mo- tion to indefinitely postpone is debatable. Mayor Lerou stuck to his ruling that a motion to indefinitely postpone is not de- batable and the motion went to vote. It was lost in an aye and nay vote. Councilman Crooks then presented a resolution authorizing the court of com- mon council to appropriate $12,500 for an additional auto pumper. Mr. Kirby moved that the resolution be indefinitely Postponed, and it was so voted. For Playgrounds. Arthur L. Peale presented a resolution authorising the court of common eouncil andgmoved its adoption. Dr. James J. Donohue said he hoped that if the money was voted some of it would be used to electric plant 18 years ago and said that | ©16a% uD the Lake street playground. today the plant stands the city $912,000 Mr. Peale replied that the $500 merely pays for a little supervision at the play- grounds. Dr. Donohue said he believed it is up to the people Who put the poles on Like street playground to take them off. The appropriation was then veted. The meeting then voted a tax of 19 3-4 milis.

Mr. Geer had been for years much in want of a good wife. In the case of a man of his age and physical condition, housekeeping and nursing form a large part of the duties of 2 good wifs, Mrx. Welch, through a trial of a number of years, had proved herself competént and acceptable in these respects, and was a pleasant companion. Mr. Geer, in marrying her, did the best thing he could for himself, and n connection with marrying her. he was bound to provied fo® her. It would be hard Yo find that to influence a man to do what he ought to do for his own good is to unduly influence him. But the evidence shows no excessive use of influence by Mrs. Weich. Her influence was good care, which |:duced him to propose marriage, and, in doing 80, to recognize the fact that it wouid haye been wise to have dome it sooner. Trme same proper influence which smooth#l the way to the marriaxe haa its weight with him in the dispositisa of his property. It is quite Dossible that the nephews would have been remember- ed, though the property was not large, but their own imprudence in the con- servator matter oftended the testator, and excluded them from the possibiity of receiving a share of his properts.
