Chief Stanton sent one tompany to Broad street and the other to Sachem An electrical storm of great. intensity and one ofsthe most terrific that has vis- ited Norwich in many years played over the city for nearly one hour Saturday morning working havoc With the tele- phone finu, fire alarms and doing con- siderable damage to several buildings where the lightning struck. The storm broke shortly after ¢ o'clock, —coming from the nortawest, and for an hour ap- parently hovered over the city seeking what it might destroy. Gathering clouds and suddenly in- creasing darkness gave warning of the approach of the storm and in many houses and offices it became so dark that the electric lights ~were switched on. Lightning flashes tha: seemed to split the heavens with jagred forks of vivid white light were incessant, accompanied by crashing, ripping reals of = thunder that terrified the timid. Where places were struck it was reported that balls of fire were seen to play about the build- ings. The storm was said to be central over Massachusetts, with Norwich getting the extreme southern fringe. Some freakish boundaries for the raim and electricity were reported around here. At Trading Cove 1t was reported there was scarcely any rain and at Quaker Hill there was very little rain. New London had some rain but not the thunder and lightning, but it was cloudy all day long. The fire department was kept busy and constantly on the move, clearly demon- strating that several more pieces of ap- paratus could be used if they had it. Five calls within the space of 15 min- utes was a record in the department, and Providence surely watched with kindly eye upon the Rose of New England, for there was slightly any fire damage. The first call for the department was for a fire in a trolley car near St. Mary's cemetery. The car had been struck and the controller box took fire, burning the woodwork. People in the ¥icinity man- aged to put out the blaze with a garden hose. The deputy chief answered the call, but his services Were not needed. Within a few minutes after the depar- ture of the deputy chief, a bell alarm from box 27 was sent in. This was for 2 supposed fire at No. 7 Third street, but when the department arrived it was found that the house had been struck but little damage done. Just as the alarm| sounded a bolt hit near the Central sta- tion and ignited it. This blaze was put out by chemical. As the auto pumper was returning from Greeneville an alarm came in from box 312 on Williams street, near Uncas street. The pumper made the run and found that their services were pot needed, as the bolt of lightning had only struck a tree near the house owned by Myron B. Prentice and had only filled the house with smoke. While at the Prentice house Chief Howard L. Stanton received word that the Central station itself was on fire. A auick run was made to the station. but the blaze which was caused when the lightning entered the station by an un- derground wire had been extinguished by Calvin Williams, who had used '_the chemical extinguishers on it. Almost as soon as the departmient was back at the station two calls came in, one for the house of George C. Butts on Sachem ter- race and the other for C. L. Stewart, whose house on Broad street had been Norwich fire devartment. Lynch, who was at the wheel escaped injury. Storm His City strees, On the way te the Sachem terrace fire the Main street chemical was run into at the corner of Washington and Sachem streets by the automobile truck of Wil- liam Stinson, former member of the Driver John of . the chemical, “stepped on it” when he saw the auto truck coming, hoping to shoot the chemical ahead and out of the way, but the truck came head on into the rear wheel of the chemical. The rear plat- form of the chemical was torn off and the rear end of the apparatus badly dam. aged. Several firemen were riding on the platform, but seeing that a collision was inevitable, jumped before the crash and Mr. Stinson was driving the auto truck and claims he did not hear the siren or see the chemical, as a large car in front of him gbstructed the view. _ The Butts fire amounted to nothing, the house being struck but no fire result- ing. A chandelier was torn from the ceiling and the house filled with smoke. ‘The home 'of Louis R. Porteous lost its lighting system and was filled with smoke when 2 bolt entered it. A bolt of lightning that hit the house of Charles L. Stewart on Broad street entered by the roof, tearing a great hole in the peak but not setting the building on fire. Deputy Chief H. R. Taft was coming along shortly after. the bolt struck on his return from Greeneville and stopped to see if there was any fire, but found none and proceeded on his way. At St. Joseph's Polish church the stee- ple was struck and a hole torn in it. The steeple has just been reshingled and the work will now have to be done over again. A telegraph pole in front of Preston Bros.’ store on Main street, the bolt de- scending into the earth through the ex- cavation where repairs are being made to the vitrified bfick pavement. A wait- ress in a nearby restaurant dropped to the floor in a faint at the crash. About 500 telephone lines in the Nor- wich exchange were put out of commis- sion, and an electric light switch on West Main street near Maple street was burn- ed out. At the home of Harold Lieberman at the corner of Lafayette and Sherman Streets the, electricity entered on the wires, causing a cloud of smoke, but do- ing né other_damage. The foundations of an unoccupied house at 12 Lafawette street caved in and the first floor dropped into the cellar. The cave-in of earth extended out under the sidewalk to the trolley” tracks. The floods of water gullied the gutters in some of the hilly streets, but without any serious damage. SATUEDAY RAINFALL WAS NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS INCH The efectrical storm of Saturday zave a rainfall of .74 of an inch according to the measurement made by Supervisor Charles 'W. Burton of the water depart- ment. This makes a total of 2.16 inches in the first ten days of July ,promising to make a record for the month., The total rainfall for June was 3.27 inches which is a large one as the June average is 2.93 inches, UNJUST STEWARD PARABLE EXPLAINED BY PBIE!T Throughout the Catholic World Sun- day, the gospel read in all the masses was that for the eights Sunday after Pentecost, Romans viii. 12-17, the par- able of the unjust steward. Preach- Ing at the early mass at 7.30 o'clock in St. Patrick’s church, Rev, M. H. May, the rector, who also read the mass, ex- plained this parable, which does not mean that the Saviour commended the steward for his dishonesty—merely for a prudence in temporal affairs, which men would do well to imitate in mat- ters spiritual. Neither the church nor the state com- mends the acquiring of goods by dis- honesty, deceit or treachery. Such ac- quisition of wealth constitutes what is referred to in the gospel as the mam- mon of iniquity. Riches in themselves are not evil, providing they are re- garded simply as loaned by their real God, owner, and are dispensed in ameliorating, suffering, relieving pov- erty, assuaging misery. Wealth may cause 2 man to gain, not to lose his salvation, providing he holds himself simply as the agent of the Creator in whatsoever he may possess, not hoard- ing it, mor using if for appression and injustice, but comsidering himsalf as 2 mere almoner, disburser, distributor. A word of warning was uttered rer garding the danger and the wrong of the mis-use of any of God's gifts and the preacher exhorted his hearers to at once take a spiritual inventory of their habits and ways, to discover whether their use of temporal possessions may not be counter to the will and design of their Heavenly,~ Father in entrusting them with such’ advantages and favors.

Ramage celebrated her 76th birthday at her home in Uneasville last Thursday. 5 One of her sisters, Mrs. Susan Lewis of Moosup, gave her a birthday cake and the other brothers and sisters gave her a purse of money. She had a number of other nice presents from her friends and relatives, Those present were Mrs. Mary Monroe of Norwich in her 88th year; Henry Brown of Hartford in his 36th year; Le. ander Brown of Norwich in his $4th year; Mrs. Susan Lewis of Moosup in her 80th year; Mrs. Emma Mitchell of Central Village in her 78th year; Mrs. Alfred T.:Ramage of Uncasville, in her T6th year. . Fad Aute Smash im Guilferd, Tony Desario made report to the pe- lice Friday that he had been in an an- tomobile accident ' that afternoon : at Moose Rill in the town of Guilford where he said he was run into by another ma. chine as he was passing it. The De- sario machine had mudguards bent, but the other machine was badly damaged. % After striking him it shot off across the road and into a femce that saved it from going off a high embankment. i SR FORDNEY BILL WILL HELP CONNECTCUT, SAYS FREEMAN That he would support and vote for the Fordney tariff bill, in its present form, was indicated by Congressman Richard P. Freeman of this city, in an in- terview in New London Saturday. “The proposed tariff bill,"” said Con- gressman Freeman, “will be helpful to the industries of the state of Connecticut and of the entire country, and will not be a burden on consumers. The rates, based as they are, on American valuation are benecial to American producers and fair to ‘all other countries alike and are absolutely necessary, because of the de- cline in foreign exchange. When enacted into law, believe the tariff will create a great revival in the business of the country. I am in hearty accord with it.” The fact that Congressman Freeman will favor the bill, assures that Con- necticut will present a solid front for the measure. Congressman John Q. Tilson of New Haven, a member of the committee, that framed the bill, and who officiated as chairman of the sub-committee draft- ing the metals and manufacturers of met- als sohedule, has the following to say concerning the -schedule T believe that the tariff bill as reported, iy favorable to the industries of Connecticut and that if passed in substantlally its present form, it will do much to bring prosperity back go my state. The rates of duty carried in this bill for products made in Connecticut are high enough in my opinion, to furnish adequate protection and they will put an end to the flood of foreign goods which is now pouring into this country and which now threatens to ‘sweep many of our great industries to ruin. . If this bill becomes a law in its present form. I believe that it will, with- in a short time, bring the thousands of persons who are now out of work in Connecticut back to their jobs.” Congressman Sehuyler E. Merritt, member of the house committee on inter- state and foreign commerce, himself a big manufacturer, states that the meas- ure is a constructive,one. ‘The purpose of the ways and means committee has not been to cgnstruct a stone wall tariff, ‘with ‘a view to shutting out foreign com- petition, but rather a fairly competitiye tariff that would enable Amrican manu- facturers to continue in business-if they are prepared by -the excellence of their managément to produce their goods as efficiently and economically as American standards of living will permit) said jthan have ever been obtained before. mendous drop.in .the value - ¢f foreign | currencies. This drop results in ‘lower’ relative wages baged on the value of American money to foreign 'workmen: overcome this difficulty, which also vari with every country, the taniff'bill proposes. to base the duties on the value of the goods in the American market. Th gives a known and - denite. basis - and should be borne in mind by manufactur- ers when guring on the ‘amount’of pro- tection the bill gives them. ‘It-is mot possible to forecast definitely what the effect of the bill will be, but I hope that when it finally becomes ' a-law it will give a fair protection to American manu- facturers without being a burden to con- sumers.” Congressman James P. Glynn, of Win- sted, is very optimistic concerning bae bill. “There are some things in the bill,” said Mr. Glynn, “that everyone doesn't like. But this is only natural in a meas- ure that affects every commodity, but on the whole the Fordney measure is a very good one. After all, it is to the interest of the Connecticut delegation to protect the Connecticut industries and in doing that, they have to give and take here and there ,this is only to be expected. As far as Connecticut -is .concerned, if her industries are protected the .purpose of the bill is accomplished. Congressman, E. Hart Femn.of Hart- ford is another optimist. His comment is as follows “It is a pretty good bill and we may as well pass it in its pres- ent form and not lose any time in amend- ing it. In the past it has taken niue months to frame a tariff bill and this one was drawn up In nine weeks. Of course it cannot suit everybody, but it is thought, and hoped, that it will produce revenue.” % The republican members of the house in recent caucus session voted to come to a vote in the house on the bill this month, and seven hours per day from now until such vote is taken will be al- lowed for debate upon the bill. Con- gressman Freeman will return to Wash- ington to vote upon the biil. MOVIE MEN IN PUZZLE OVER NEW STATE TAX Why is a tax? of motion picture theaters are askin; themselves as they resharpen their lead pencils and try once more to figure out What they will owe the state and fedeéral governments after Scptember 1 when the amusement tax law passed by the gen- era’ assembly goes into effect. The man- agers are already paying 10 per cent. of the box office receipts to Uncla Sam and two months hence they. will alse have to pay 5 per cent. to Tax Commia- sioner Blodgett who, to all intents and purposes, represents the state of Com- necticut in this respect. Commissioner Blodgett has been care- ful to make it clear throughout the dis- cussion of this new law that his depart- ment had no intention or desire to die- tate how the tax should be raised. The theatre managers were to be free to in- crease the price of admission § per cent. and thus directly “pass the buck” the patron as is done with the federal tax or they could pocket the loss, pay- ing it from their profits and keeping the price of admissoin as it is. PBut now the theater managers are anxious . te have someone tell them what to. de. They rather wish that the tax commis- sioner hadn’t been quite so careful not to interfere with their business and had instead prescribed just how the new tax was to be raised by them and.so written it into the law. Here is ono of the which the theatre men tussle, A good many of them charge an idmission price of 10 cents, of course paying 2 cents of this to the federal government under the 10 per cemt. tax law. After the first of September, the state of Connecticut will also claim 1 cent for every 20-cent ticket sold; the system to put in force by the state tax department being that!the. theater man- ager must pay the state one-half of what is paid the federal government for the same period. But many of the theater managers say that if their share of ‘a 20-cent ticket is reduced below 18 cents, they cannot make enough to go on do- ing businsss and hence the. amount of the state tax added to the price of the admissfon, making it 21 cents. But the federal law declares !hlt an admission of more than 20 ocents and not more than 30 cents shall pay a tax of 3 cents. Thus as soon as the theater manager raises his ticket price to- 21 cents, the United States government wipes out the increase entirely. And this is not all. The. stats law states that 50 per cent, of the amount paid to the federal government shall be prima facie the amount due te the state under the provisions of the act. ' Thus as soon as the theater manager = has raised his admission price to 21 cents, in order to pay the state tax, not emly does the federal law take the extra cent away from him, but the Connecticut law at once makes his liable to .the state for another half cent. Thus he faces a federal tax of 3 cents and a state tax of 1 1-3 cents. |This would reduce. the theater manager's share of a 31 cemt admission to 1% 1-2 cents. ' _ The total of these taxes is four and one-half cents and it is reported. in some sectlons that the only thing the theater managers can do is to boost a ‘26-cent admission to 25 cemts and thus not only be able to pay the taxes.but make' half a cent more profit than at present. ‘What is to be done?
