where it was rat. The alderman
said he felt sure the water company
would not give the water for street
washing free OF charge and if the
committe was given to understand
that the council would not pay for
it, the streets could not be washed.
In order to bring the matter before
the council he moved that the agree
ment made with Superintendent Gan
non, to pay II cents per 1000 gal
Ions for water for street washing be
confirmed and continued.
Alderman Nells made the point
that the city was paying for the
MIGRANTS and had right to use the
water from them.
Alderman Greaney said he consid-
cred it 'unmitigated gall" for the
water company to preser a bill for.
water used for street washing in view
of the lenient treatment the company
had received from the city in various
ways.
The mayor said he recognized the
popular desire for better service from
the water company but did rot think
public sentiment ought to he per.

ordinances. The city had reated all
corporations lenienuy and he was
not disposed to single or { one of

ways of getting back at the President in revenge for his dis- courteous insinuation that they were determined to be exempt from the espionage of the Gov ernment detectives. It will be remembered that shortly before the converting of this session of Congress, the President issued an order .discontinuing the ser vice of marines oh war ships. This order was very unwelcome to the marines and their friends in Congress and inasmuch as it is now "everything to disoblige Roosevelt" there is movement in Congress to reinstate the mar inc service. If the question were left to the most competent off, cers of the Navy, Congress would doubtless find the President sus- tained in his position. The ad- miral of the Atlantic fleet has cabled that the efficiency of the service has been improved since the marines were taken from the ships. The Pacific fleet admiral cables in substance the same in formation. The captains of bat tleships and cruisers have ex- pressed themselves as of the same mind. These officers, all in ac- tive service and cognizant of ac- tual conditions, are such witness es as would be accepted by any judicial body and their testimony is corroborated by Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral Evans, Converse and Pillsbury an q other officers of wide sea-going experience. On the other hand the opinion that the marines should be reinstated in their old duties is shared by some officers of the Navy and many of the Marine Corps. It IS generally agreed that the character of sea-
 men, or "blue jackets" as they are called, is now. higher than ever before. The time is past when marines were necessary to keep turbulent jalkies in subjec- tion, af1oat or ashore. During the now famous world cruise, the behavior of the American sea-
 men has been beyond criticism. The squads of policemen sent ashore to prevent disorder were made up of sailors, not marines, and they had little or no occa- sion to interfere with the action of their comrades. Reports from the fleet state that the sailors have made as good d police rec ord as the marines have made on orher occasions. 1t remains to be seen what action Congress will take in the. case. ,,.vgs @'',

WEBSTER MEMBERS
To Be Admitted to Putnam Lodge oi
 EIks Under New Rule.

Putnam lodge of Elks will hold a regular meeting and open their new social quarters this (Tuesday) eve ming. at which applications for mem bership from four Webster men will be reported upon.
 The receiving of members from Webster into Putnam lodge is a new departure and is made permissible un- der an amendment to the constitution of the order adopted at the recent grand lodge session in Los Angeles.
 The amendment provides that the jurisdiction of each lodge over appli- cants for membership shall extend equi- distant to a boundary line be- tween cities or towns in which lodges are located. disregarding state or ter ritorial lines. Previously. persons de- siring membership in the order and living in towns where no lodge existed were obliged to apply to the lodge nearest to them and in the same state. That rule kept Webster people out of the Putnam lodge and required that they join in Worcester. Likewise, Southbridge persons could not join in Putnam and this fact lost the local lodge twelve members on one occa- sion when that number presented ap- plications from the Optical city.
 The jurisdiction of the Putnam lodge is now greatly extended and covers all the area halfway between this city and Worcester and halfway south to Norwich. Putnam lodge now has 17O members with more awaiting admis- sion. The membership includes many from Danielson, Thompson and other nearby townships. It is expected that the new rule will allow of rapidly in- creasing the membership of the lodge

NORTH WINDHAM FATALITY.
Edward L. Burnham, We'll Known Resident, Stepped Of Railroad Bridge-SkuIl Fractured by Fall.

Edward L. Burnham, between 75 and 80 years old, was killed near North Windham station Monday evening. Following his daily custom he went down to the station and after the $50 train had left he started to walk home. When he had reached the end of the trestle railroad bridge, instead of turn ing and going toward his home, 1t be- ing quite dark, it is believed he step- ped off the bridge and fell headlong down the embankment, some feet be- low, striking his head on a large flat stone. His skull was fractured and he probably died almost instantly. Rel atives became anxious when he did not return home, and went in search of him. and Andrew Bennett, Mrs. Bur T. ham and others found him about ten o'clock, lying partly down the embauk- ment.
 Medical Examiner Dr. Louis I. Ma son was notified and pronounced death due to an accident
 Mir. Burnham was a native of the town, and a highly respected citizen. Years back he was prominently iden- tified with the affairs of the village in which he resided. There survive a wid- cd and three children, Stowell of North Windham, Miss Ellen of Bos- ton and John Burnham of Middle town

STARTED ON NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
Now Waiting for Proper Working Plans from Boston Architects.

All of the acting members of the High school building committee have now signed the contracts for the con- struction of the new Windham High school, and the contractors, the Peck McWillams company of Norwich, have signed, sealed and delivered the bond, and were on hand Monday forenoon with force of men to commence pre- liminary work on the grounds of the site for the building. Their work did not last long, however as the plans from which they had to work did not clearly indicate the lines that were soupposed to be established with refer ence to the old school building.
 The architects. Cooper & Bailey of Boston, have greatly retarded the work of the committee so far, and have been the cause of not an inconsiderable amount of delay by failing to have the requisite working plans on hand. These are expected today, according to a telephone message from Boston to members of the building committee.

There were a couple of other cases of common drunks. and the offenders were given thirty days in jail apiece.
