The keepers of places Of ill-repute
In New London in spite of the Addie
Purns example, PERSIST on continuing
| in their immoral sand unlawful bust
rexs, and the police authorities insist
| on its suppression aided by the state
attorney. Last week the keeper of me
/ OF these places was arrested on COM
rlaint similar to that proven against
Acdie Burns, and another inmate
| Charged as was McNulty. with 'ur-
Fishing girl of Is to the place T'he
4 one is held for trial in the superior
| court in bonds of $1,000. and the other
IN $4,000 and. in default of bail they
| We're committed to jail.
| Four other inmates were arrested,
| and when arraigned in court expected
TO get the,customary treatment. sus-
| pension OF sentence and time allow
aace OF 20 hours 10 get out of town.
| fut Acting Prosecuting Attorney
c ayton 3. Smith declared in favor of
| jail sentence as the effective way Of
making New London morally cleaner.
1he common method had become far
| cical. Acting Judge Crandall was of
| like opinion, and the soiled doves were
6rdered confined in the county cage in
/ franklin street for four months. Then.
! instead of smiles when court adjourn
ed. there were tears. and perhaps a
resolve on the part OF the accused TO
abandon New London as soon as re-
leased, and perhaps determination to
re form.
1t would certainly tend to clean Up
/ these immoral places il the regular
| lcGge and prosecuting attorney of the
New London police court would initiate
the example of the acting officials in
cases of this kind in the future.
Work is being pushed steadily on
the new industrial building to BE- oc-
CT pied as a brass tube factory. the
ranger being considered among
! Waterbury's best and most practical
brass manufacturers. II now looks
a. II. before this Industrial building is
| for the accommodation of another in
drstry. the promoters asking for no
financial assistance; simply a suit
| able building at a fair rental
This new industry is a large manu-
Featuring. concern that has been SEEK
! ing a location in Norwich and West
erly. as well as in New London. At
this writing the proposition to locate
| in Norwich las been abandoned. but
definite answer has not been given
! TIE committee of the Westerly board Of
/ t.ade as the promoters desire to show
reciprocal courtesy.
A suitable and satisfactory building
| Ics been offered in Westerly and the
same has been done in New London
| SO it becomes a question of which
place would be more advantageous to
the business. and New London vas
/ selected. The projectors were worry
n UGH impressed with Westerly and
the people. and reluctantly decided in
favor Of New London.
The Lawrence free hospital, he

court house should materially bright
en- the prospects of the building
t;esdes in New London. especially IL
! The work is done by local contractors

they ought TO be able to underbid out
cfstowners.
/ The first matter that should receive
the attention of the local contractors

probably be the first to be commence
Ell. If they are unable to figure as
4 itrr as outsiders in competitive bids
there is something wrong, for with

Capt. George Tyson, once a whaIs-
inennsster of New London, but Who
! eci several years was in the govern
| nent service at Washington. is buried
IL an unmarked grave in Abingdon
cemetery. Capt. Tyson. although
/ II orough whaleman and an expert
navigator. he appeared when ashore
= ore like an active, or perhaps re-
! tired. merchant. He was of slen Ter
build. erect in stature. and inclined
L. be decidedly reticent. Still. he was
| Possessed OF considerable strength
ard noted for his courage and dar-
ing.
Mrs Tyson is still living in Wash
| ipgton and although having the de-
; ire she has not the means to prop
ely mark the grave Of her husband.
Friends of the captain. learning the
situation have subscribed funds for
the erection of a suitable monument
u the memory Of Capt. George E.
: son of Polaris fame.
Capt Tyson's most thrilling exre-
rt nee in the frozen north was in the
| AL exploring expedition for the
North Pole. He sailed from NV
| ondou on the Polaris and with some
of the crew, parted from the ship in
81 ice foe and endured severe hard
ship until finally rescued by another
81 Up. After his return from that trip
h. was given a position in the navy
az partment in Washington. and re-
aimed in the government service I'M
| T.: he died a few years ago
II would have been we'll for Sc
bastian D. Lawrence to have provided
fund for the perpetual care IF the
magnificent soldiers ana sailors mcp-
! tfnent he presented to New LONDON
in his lifetime. for he had opportuni-
~ TO see how the munifcent gift has
Teen neglected by the city officials in
general, and the public property mn
Il 'utee in particular. The enclosure
IL permitted to be used as Il y ng- out
for buns and loafers. and the monu-
nent has not ben cleaned for sew
eIal years.
In order to- show proper apprecia-
ten fora the gift. and satisfy public
dc sire thesmonument should be clesn-
Ell from base to the top Of the statue
of Peace AT least once a year. And
row. more than ever before in apple
Cation of the public requests Of Mr..
Ii wrence as set forth in his will.
What refers to the soldiers and sail
ors' monument also relates to the
6~emens monument.
II will increase the news value Of
at least one newspaper in New London
|. employ somebody in the news de-
rartment who knows something of
the city and residents. even If there
were nothing else to do. 1t would ray
to have such a man in an easy chair
IL the news room, smoking his pipe
o: peace, or piece of pipe. simply to
e,,.xa 90 a hr1rps1l of local information
