BIG SENSATION
CAUSED HERE

No local announcement of any
decision made in years created
such stir of excitement and
interest as the announcement
made by The Sentinel last night
regarding the decision handed
down by the state supreme court
concerning the operation of SOC
ial clubs in the state. Very in
teresting comment on the decis-
ion is made by the Denver Times.
In part the Times says:
The case was brought under the
Canon City ordinance prohibiting the
sale of liquors, or giving them away
for the purpose of avoiding any
of its provisions. The fact that the
Elks' club. of the city was not in
corporated, but dispensed liquors
through a board of directors, made
no difference.
According to the decision the
board of control in holding authority
to dispose of liquor belonging to the
club relinquished the right to the
entire property of the club remaining
intact to joint use, occupancy and
enjoyment of all members, which
makes the board agents to dispose
of liquor; and such disposal by the
board constitutes a sale. The trans
action. according to the decision, con-
tanned all the elements of a sale.
The defendants claimed the liquor
was not sold, but was used for the
distribution among members in good
standing, while the court held that
the transfer of the absolute property
from holder to consumer constituted
sale, which was made more appar-
emf nv the fact that M l,a, 90 l..
club contributed the original fund
for purchasing the liquor and con-
tinued to pay any shortage that
might occur in keeping up the sup
ply.
1t was argued that the dispensing
OF liquors by an unincorporated club
to its members was but "the equitable
distribution of liquors among the
common owners" that all the mem
bers furnished in equal amount the
original fund to buy the liquors.
MANY of the men do not drink"
replies the decision, "and certainly
there is no equitable distribution of
the liquor itself where a part drink.
not only their own share, but the
shares of the others who do not: but
It Is said that by paying for what he
drinks the drinking member puts
back into the common treasury the
cost of his own Indulgence, and that
although by consumption the division
is not equitable, yet it is made so by
contribution to the treasury and has
neither lost or gained: consequent
ly the distribution is held to be equal
The member who drinks gets his
own share and also that of the man
who does not"

Consistency is not a jewel in MT
Pinchot's crown. While processing 2
to be anxious to preserve the coal
timber and other natural resources
and together with the remainder OF
the administration assumes to oppose
the Standard Oil Company, he is play
ing very nicely into the hands OF thai
company by enforcing his oppressive
rules and restrictions concerning the
DEVELOPMENT of water power within
forest reserves. The more power de-
veloped the less coal is used and the
more electric lights used. the less oil
need be bought from the Standard
Oil Company.
Mr.. Pinchot evidently knows that
under the constitution OF Colorado
the water in all the streams belongs
to the people; hence, he SAYS I'VE
do not charge for the water but we
make a conservation charge for the
use of the land occupied by the power
plants' On the Frying Pan, for in
stance. the government has never
conserved anything. but Pinchot
sought to make a power company,
which proposed to put in a plant
there, agree to pay s65,6OO per an
mum as a conservation charge. This
charge was to be fixed by the amount
of the electric energy generated. The
water would be used to generate cleo
trio power, and, while no charge
would be made for the water. con-
servation charge was to be made for
the use of the land necessary for the
plant, fixed by the power generated
by the water. If this is not charge
for water, what is it?
Such fallacious proposition is sell
dom heard from sane people. If Pin
chOt has the right tn mako n eopsaf
walton charge for the use of such a
small area of land occupied by a pow
er plant, why bother congress with
a land-leasing law? Why not turn
the matter over to Mr.. Pinchot, who
can fix the entire matter with a con-
servation charge? The course mapped
out by the government to conserve
our natural resources is certainly be-
yond the mental ability of men in
the west to grasp, certainly when
traced to its logical results. In refer
ence to coal, the entries are now SO
restricted and the price so high that
a poor man cannot now take up a

MILLERTON-LAKEVILLE

With the exception of the Canaan Salisbury game the scores Saturday were close, Lime Rock and Lakeyille each winning by only one run. The Millerton- Lakeville game was closely contested and it looked like Millerton's game up to the eighth when Lakeville ran ill the two deciding runs. It was a pitchers battle and both Cartmll for Lakeville and Hughes for MillertOn did fine work in the box. Cartmill allowed only three hits and Hughes five, while beth pitchers struck out seven. There was the biggest crowd of the season out to see the game and interest in the games is on the increase in Lakeville, the team being given strong support by the fans i'll Saturdays game.

 Section 1. Every town shall furnish, by transportation or otherwise school accommodations so that every child over seven and under 16 years of age can at- tend school as required ill Section 2116 of the general statutes. If any town re- fuses or neglects to furnish such accom- nodations, the parent or guardian of any child who is deprived of schooling, or any agent or officer whose duty it is to compel the observance of the laws con- corning attendance at school, may in writing request hearing by the town school committee, board of school wis itors, or,board of education, as the case may be, and said officers shall give such personal hearing within ten days after receipt of written request therefor and shall make a finding within ten days bANS1 1o1IlASs

Clark has kept his good nature and pleasant ways even through declining years.
 He has many friends and well-wishers among his neighbors, and for several years past they have taken occasion to make that event one of the pleasant days of the year in Ashley Falls.
 Henry Clark was born in Monterey (then Tyringham), Mass, March 18. 1920. From there his parents moved to West Stock bridge, and there lived until he was fourteen years old. It was in this year of his life that events occurred which he still recollects with pride. He obtained the privilege of being distribu- tor of the first copies of the Courier and old Stockbridge paper in the country be- tween Hartsville and Great Harrington, making the trip weekly ia rig loaned by the farmer by whom he was employed.
 From West Stockbridge he moved to Hartsville, working on the old Buell. J gleston. He later worked for several farmers in West Stockbridge, and then set about learning the trade of machinist in Williamsville, Mass, being appren- ticed to T. H. Spencer. He later fol- lowed this trade successfully in Pitts field, Lee and Great Burlington. When the Berkshire Woolen Company built & factory i'll the latter place, MT. Clark helped to install the machinery.
 Having followed the machinists' trade for number of years, he agaln felt an attraction towards the life of farmer and bought place in West Stockbridge, which he ran for two years, when he disposed of it.
 After some time passed in New York state, he returned to Housatonic and un- dertook the erection of a wood-shop, tor gether with George Whitmore and Dr. Pixley. After having operated it suc- cessfully for but short time, the entire plant was wiped out by fire and they were unable to rebuild.
 It was 35 years ago that MT. Clark moved to Ashley Falls and settled down on the farm where he now lives. He has since disposed of a portion of the farm, but has sufficient left for a snug lMtle home and garden where he still puts ill time on pleasant days using spade and hoe.
 MT. Clark was twice married, hls first wife being Miss Mary M. Andrews, his second Mrs. Mary Ives of Ashley Falls, to whom he was united in 1883, and who still survives. MT. Clark had five chil- dren, all of whom died, but the kind hearted couple cherish an affection for several children of the heart" as they ! fondly call number of young men in whom they have taken an interest.
 Cincinnatus Lodge, F. 6 A. M, of Great Burlington has boasted MT. Clark as member for the past 66 years.
 It is the wish of MT. Clarks many friends that he may reach the century mark.

SHEFFIELD-HYPHENS

The game between Sheffield and Lake vile played on the latter's grounds Sat urday resulted in a victory for the Hyphens by the score of 2-1. Prender- gast, alias Myers, who was the cause of the trouble recorded last week, played in his old position of third base on the Lime Rock team. He made himself popular with the Lime Rock boys and they took steps to have him retained. A petition was circulated among the directors of the league asking that his name be placed on the Lime Rock list and directors representing all the teams except Canaan signed the paper so that Lime Rock felt at liberty to play him Saturday. The formal decision as to Myers eligibility will be decided at a future meeting of the directors, as will also the forfeiting of the three games ill which he played under his alias. There were no special features Ill the game ,rHa

Canaan played Millerton on the local diamond Wednesday and was defeated by the score of 8-1. Poole was in the box for Millerton and was found for quite large number of hits by the Ca naan boys but he kept the hits well scattered. P. Stanton sent in the bend CTS for Canaan for the first five innings during which time Millerton took eight runs and II hits. MeCabe went in the sixth inning and finished the game in fine shape not allowing Millerton sin gle hit. In the fifth Hughes of Miller ton made 8 nice double from right field to second. Casey, of Millerton, and R. Stanton got three base hits, which were feature of the game, and there were four two-base hits by Scott, P. Stsnton. Brown and J. Burns. P. Stanton walked three men, struck out five, McCabe fan ned one and Poole walked one and fan ned eight. Delaney of West Stock bridge umpired for the first time in the league and gave good satisfaction.

Aged Resident of Winsted We'll Known
 by Many Here.
 Caleb J. Camp, 94 years old, died at his home i'll Winsted on Saturday. He had been in feeble health for some time Caleb J. Camp was born in Winsted June 12, 1915, the youngest of seven children of Samuel and Mercy Sheldon Camp and of colonial and revolutionary ancestry.
 Starting life with a common school education Mir. Camp was selling veal for his father when he met Lucius Clarke, q Winsted business man, and made such an impression upon the latter that MT, Clarke hired him as clerk in his store. Four years later he and his brother, Moses, purchased the business and in short time they became the leading merchants of the town.
 He succeeded William H. Barnum as president of the Connecticut Western Railway, now the Central New Eng land, and the securities of the company doubled in value during his administra- tion.

Results of Saturdays Games Canaan 10, Salisbury 5; Lime Rock ?, Sheffield 1; Lakeville 5, Mlllerton 4.
Games This Week Saturday Canaan at Millerton. @ Lakeville at Sheffield. Lime Rock at Salisbury.

In clean, we'll played game Canaan took victory from Salisbury on the local diamond Saturday. The exhibi- ton was good one to see and the re- suit was by no means certain up to the last couple of innings Features of the game were the heavy hitting by both sides and fine fielding by Canaan. A couple of errors by Salisbury proved costly. Patten for Salisbury proved a wizard at connecting with McCabe' s curves and succeeded in driving out clean hits at critical stages of the game His two base hit in the third which sent two men over the plate was one of the features of the game. Percy Stanton drove long fly into right field in the fourth and got around the diamond before Salisbury's fielder suc- ceeded i'll finding the ball and getting it back in the diamond.
 McCabe was in the box for Cennau throughout the game and did tue Lest work he has done this season, as 0. ly two or three of the Salisbury team "n"ld connect with any degree of sUe,'. S& Some amusement wns caused by tne way McCabe succeeded ill flaming Tom Burpee, the Salisbury pitcher. He got the habit early in the game and Burpee failed time and again to solve McCabe's s variety of benders.
 Barton pitched for Salisbury until the middle of the fifth and up to the first of that inning only two Canaanites had succeeded in getting across the plate while Salisbury had run in three during the third. During the fifth, however, Canaan started in for swatfest and after Dodge, Joyce and Frank Stanton had scored runs Salisbury decided it was high time to turn the tide and put Bur- pee in the box. As usual he pitched a fancy game. Canaan made four talliss in the sixth but after that Salisbury $ crack pitcher got warmed up and no more runs were made. Salisbury brought in two more in the eighth, making their total five, but it was too late in the game to retrieve their broken fortunes and although they played a plucky game the lead was too much and with nothing doing in the ninth for either team the final score stood as in dicated above.
 AS is always the case in contents be. tween Salisbury and Canaan the one Saturday was clean, satisfactory ex- hIbition of the natianal game and was marked by the absence of "klcking" by either team. There was a good-sized crowd on the bleachers and everybody enjoyed the game.
