Various Clinton Resi-
dents to Assist
Italians.
PINK PARTY.
Guests Were Present From
Worcester, Fitchburg and
Other Towns.

Pratt, f. B. Ellis c. G. Coulter, Butler
& Leavis. The petition is in the hands
of F. B. Ellis who will circulate it
among the business men and other
leading citizens of the town.
Mr.. Ellis said today: 1T is time to
put stop to the commissary system
speak from the standpoint of the la
borers, rather than from that of the
merchants. These 1aborers work hard
for their money, and they should not
be compelled to take their pay in
goods at twice the market price"
Mr.. Ellis feels that the business men
of Clinton will do everything in their
power to get the water board to act
against the offending Contractors. The
Italians who are responsible for the
movement against the commissary
system are getting evidence together.
All the evidence obtained will be sub
mitted to the Clinton Business Mems
Association and used for what it is
worth.
The petition adopted by the associa-
ton is identical in language with the
petition signed by the Italian laborers.

Thomas Dawson Tate went to Bos-
ton Yesterday to see the board of reg
istration in pharmacy. He went TO
INQUIRE if the board proposed to con-
tinue to withhold his license, and TO
inform the board that he was prepared
to take his case before the Senate as
well as to the governor. he had WIN
him 50 copies of The Spy containing
the correspondence by which Mr.. Tate
is able to convince senator's and rep
.resentatives that he has been perse-
cuted.
He met three members of the board,
including President Larrabee. Commits
sioner Harris was inclined to be inqui-
sitorial. He asked Mr.. Tate number
of questions as if Mr.. Tate were on the
witness stand. The Clinton druggist
said:
Mr.. Harris. 1 have not come before
the board to ask for hearing. When
I do, 1 will answer questions asked in
that tone. I have come today to find
out why my application for license
has not been either granted or refused.
Unless I can find out. I shall go to the
Senate with my cas- today, and find
out if the senators Of this state will see
a man prosecutor as, have been. 1
don't think they WILL
There was a hot time in the rooms of
the board Of registration in pharmacy
for a few moments. The upshot of it
all was that Mr.. Tate was assured by
one of the commissioners that his ap-
plication would come before the board
at its regular meeting, Tuesday, and
would undoubtedly be granted. After
consulting with some of his influential
political friends in Boston, Mr. Tate
decided to let the matter rest for the
present.
This afternoon Mr.. Tate received a
letter from Joseph G. Hagar, editor Of
the New England Druggist, asking him
II he wished to add anything to The
Spy's story, which the New England
Druggist is about to reproduce. Mr..
Tate replied that The Spy's story rep
resented his case fully and fairly, with
the exception of certain delicate and
damaging letters, which so far it has
not been advisable to print.
