(special 70 Tne Rulletin.l

Hartford, March 23-The Crescent
Beach Power and Water company and
the East Lyme Water company fought
out before the interpretations commit
tee this afternoon their contention re-
garding the supplying OF water to the
cottagers at Crescent beach and Sound
View. with the result that neither side
knows at this moment which has won
out, but the chances are that the Crut-
tendens OF Norwich, who are the Cres-
cent Beach company and are applying
for charter as such. will in ~ end
be chartered to supply the two shore
resorts named with water and electric
itt. The incorporators of the new
company are Joseph T.. Edwin, Henry
B. and Tyler Cruttenden, who have had
so much to do with developing the de-
lightful resorts which are concerned in
this matter.
They have had in operation for a
which electric light and power have
been supplied to the people OF the
Beach and have two artesian wells for
water supply and expect to drill more
as occasion requires. Crescent Beach
and Sound View are shut off from re-
ceiving either water or electricity
from outside sources because there are
concerns supplying neither Of these
commodities within a distance such as
depend on themselves. Provisions for

existence for some time and have prov

sired Is an Incorporated company 10

The New London Gas and Electric
company had for ten years a blanket
provision In It's charter 10 permit it TO
supply electricity to Crescent Beach.
but has withdrawn from the territory
and in no wise opposes the granting OF
the charter asked for. The Uncas
Power company and the Lyme Electric
company purposely failed to include
this territory in their charters because
they didn't consider It practicable for
them to try to go there. Nor is there
any objection from any quarter 70 the
Cruttendens' company being ircorpor-
ated TO supply electricity to the shore
dwellers south of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad tracks.
which is all the territory It is pro-
posed to include IN this charter. The

The only case heard before the civil
superior court at New London Tues
day was that Of r. A. Sherman's Sons
Co. Of Westerly VS.. the Mystic Manu-
featuring and Industrial company. This
Is an action to recover for building
supplies furnished the defendant COM
pany by the plaintiffs.
The furnishing Of the supplies is
not denied by the Industrial and Man
ufacturing company but the amount
due is disputed. The amount claimed
by the westerly concern is S5,035 and
a few cents. Lumber mortar and
other contractors supplies are the
items. The correct bill for these sup
plies as claimed by the defendants is
S3,55e.65, II being the contention that
no price was agreed upon, but that
It was simply agreed that fair price
should be paid for the supplies in
Another phase Of the case is the
claims Of the defendants that the
plaintiffs agreed to take realty In Mys-
tic in part payment for the bill for
supplies. 1t is also claimed that Sher-
man Sons were TO take three lots val
ued at $s0e.

The Secret Service,

1t is evidently desirable that the
executive departments should have at
their disposal a body of trained and
trustworthy agents who could be as
signed to special service, from time to
tome, in connection with the enforce
ment of the laws or the detection of
breaches of law. Such service is pro-
vided by the treasury department and
for few distinctly specified objects.
President Roosevelt desires broader
authorization, and it may be that it
should have it. But it must be appar-
ent to any dispassionate observer that
the establishment of a corps of secret
police, to be employed anywhere or
everywhere, at discretion, would be a
departure in our legislation that re-
quires thoughtful consideration and
should be surrounded by careful safe
guards. Certainly it is possible to
hesitate over such proposition with
out any sympathy with criminals.
This is the whole substance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's controversy with
congress. Whatever legisla,
ton may be finally determined upon
for the extension and regulation of
the secret service will be based on the
consideration that it will not be appli
